Chapter 561: Chapter 561: The Reason for Procrastination
 

It’s Zhang Ke!

In the many days that had passed, Su Man had almost forgotten about this guy! She had even thought that he might have been injured and died in some obscure corner!

But it turned out, he suddenly reappeared!

“Hey!” Su Man quickened her pace and ran over, “Bastard! Let him go!”

Zhang Ke was still in his original attire, but now coated with mud and blood, his disheveled hair, haggard face made him look like a fugitive wandering in the wilderness, extremely wretched.

At the moment, he grabbed Lu Yuwen’s collar, pulling him in front of him while strangling Lu Yuwen’s neck with his elbow. In his other hand, he held a knife, pressing it against Lu Yuwen’s throat.

He wasn’t afraid of Su Man at all. He grimaced as he watched her run back, the point of the knife dug into the flesh, a bead of fresh blood spilling out, trickling down Lu Yuwen’s handsome neck.

Su Man frowned and stopped a few steps away from the bonfire.

Zhang Ke lifted the knife slightly, but it was still against Lu Yuwen’s neck.

His gloomy eyes fixed on Su Man, he said, “What are you nervous about? I’m just chatting with my buddy here. I’m a timid man, you know. If you start shouting and startle me, this knife might do something reckless…”

“You want to kill him?” Su Man sneered, “If you kill him, you can forget about ever getting out of here!”

Zhang Ke’s gaze became colder, his tone ambiguous, “Do you think we can leave now? Heh…”

“Of course.” Su Man stood her ground, calmly negotiating with Zhang Ke, “Our goal is to get out of this maze. You can let him go. If you just want to vent your anger, let me make this clear to you: if you kill him now, you won’t have a chance to escape either!”

Zhang Ke watched her, a contemptuous smile on his face. “…Idiot.”

Su Man’s face changed slightly, “What did you say?!”

“I said, you’re dumb!” Zhang Ke suddenly shouted, “Do you think we’re still trying to piece together a map?! Idiot! He’s been leading you in circles these past few days! Don’t you see?! He’s just buying time!”

Upon hearing this, Su Man froze, staring at Lu Yuwen in shock.

Zhang Ke raised his arm, grabbing Lu Yuwen’s hair roughly, forcing him to lift his head high, the cold blade still pressed against his throat!

“Tell us why you were deliberately delaying, hmm?” Zhang Ke said in Lu Yuwen’s ear, his malicious gaze fixed on Su Man, “Did you fancy this woman… and that’s why you didn’t want to leave?”

Lu Yuwen couldn’t speak.

With gritted teeth, Su Man defiantly called out, “Let him go! Puzzle-solving is always slow at first, and it’s mentally exhausting! If you can’t do it, don’t assume someone else is stalling for time!”

Zhang Ke laughed, full of mockery, “Really a dumb woman…So easily fooled, it’s no wonder that after several days, she doesn’t doubt you. However, don’t think of fooling me, understood?”

The sharp blade pressed tighter against Lu Yuwen, Zhang Ke asked quietly, “Even at this point, you’re still not willing to talk?… Lu Yuwen, don’t think I don’t have the guts to do it.”

Blood flowed down the slashed wound.

While it didn’t reach the artery, the threat was clear.

Lu Yuwen’s throat bobbed, he managed to say, “I’ll tell…”

“Very good.” Zhang Ke curled his lips, loosening his grip and the blade slightly, “Tell us, why have you been stalling? Don’t treat us like fools, if you dare lie, I’ll skin you alive!”

Finally, his gaze shifted to the stunned Su Man on the side, his smile cold, “Let this stupid woman hear it too, how her trustworthy companion has been fooling her these past few days.”
