Chapter 1680: You Are A Tiny Liar, I Can’t Trust Your Words
Snake stood up straight, facing Gu Mengmeng, “Small incident? Then do you know how the three of us came over?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head, looking at Elvis suspiciously.
Elvis pursed his lips, sighing heavily, “When I was at the reception “settling” things about taking over the Fiery Flames, Harold’s son Quito, who was the man whose arm got broken by me during the first round of dark fist, had secretly entered your room, plotting to kill you. The moment the tip of the knife touched the mark on your chest, Snake was summoned over.
Gu Mengmeng felt shocked, when she looked down, there was indeed a red spot where the snake head was on her chest, which was likely a scar.
It was then that Snake continued, “The instant I arrived, I saw the dagger almost pierce into your heart. The lives of Gregory, myself, Lea, Elvis and you included would all have been at stake. To you, that is just a small incident, isn’t it?”
Gu Mengmeng’s aggressiveness instantly dissipated, replying with grief, “I did not know that…”
“Of course you did not.” Snake smiled coldly, “If you did, then you would have called your most trustworthy first partner to come over to protect you, wouldn’t you? In your eyes, only he is your partner, he is the only trustworthy one. If anything happens and he is not around, you would rather be alone than call Lea or myself over to watch over you. Ha, how much trust do you have in him? As long as he was in the same building as you, you could trust that he would protect you safely. He was clearly not by your side, yet you could fall asleep with your guard down.”
Elvis clearly could not stand Snake scolding Gu Mengmeng like that, but Gu Mengmeng could hear how much fear there was behind Snake’s reprimands.
Gu Mengmeng pulled Elvis away before he exploded, and opened her arms to Snake, posing like she wanted a hug.
Snake was furious, but he was also extremely uneasy.
Hence, he did not say anything before pulling Gu Mengmeng into his arms and hugging her violently, wanting to stuff her into his embrace and protect her like that to ease the fear.
“You kept sleeping, and I had to check your breathing every three minutes. I was so afraid that I arrived half a second slower and that dagger could have pierced right into your heart, so afraid that you were dead instead of just asleep… You heartless brat, how could you still defend him?!”
Gu Mengmeng patted Snake’s back, appeasing, “I know I’m wrong, I will never do such a heartless thing again. Don’t worry, I am totally fine now, aren’t I?”
Actually, Snake did not really want to quarrel with Elvis either.
He only desperately wanted to vent his uneasiness, otherwise he would go crazy.
Meanwhile, perhaps Elvis also needed such a battle for him to release his guilt.
“Liar.” Snake scolded softly, “You are a tiny liar, I can’t trust your words.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled in a low voice, Elvis and Lea had known she was a tiny liar all along, and she thought that she could maintain her credibility in front of Snake and Gregory at least.
But now, she was bankrupt of trust once again.
Looking at Gregory with amusement, she thought: Hmm, he was the remaining success, I should at least not jeopardize my trustworthiness in Gregory’s eyes.
