She didn't know the man. Yet, she could not shake the feeling that he was someone she knew. From the tone of his voice down to his attitude, something about him spoke to their being acquainted.
Another question came to mind. If he knew her, did he also know about her relationship with Fu Tingyu?
Would he use her as a means to threaten Fu Tingyu?
Qin Shu knew Fu Tingyu well. He would give up his life for her without so much as batting an eye.
She could not put him through such torment for her sake.
The thought alone pained her greatly.
Suddenly, the man stood up and took a step towards her. He stopped when he was mere inches away from her. With his head bowed, it looked like he was staring down at her.
Qin Shu caught unprepared, took an unconscious step back. However, the man stopped her with a forceful tug.
She reacted instinctively, drawing the dagger she had stowed under her clothes and pressing it against the man's neck.
