Chapter 750: Hurry Up and Get Lost
"It's... it's rare to be with you. Of course, I want to make you happier. Come on, stop playing with my handbag; there are cosmetics inside. Be careful not to break them."
The handbag fell, and Chu Ge caught it again. He looked at Huang Yourong, smirked, and tossed the handbag up again. Huang Yourong reached out, but her hand missed it.
"By the way, Sister Huang, I'm not well-versed in law, but... isn't intentional injury a crime?"
As he watched the handbag that was about to hit the ceiling fall down again, Chu Ge casually asked a question that seemed completely out of the blue.
Huang Yourong felt even more panicked, "Chu Ge, what are you talking about?"
"Snap!"
Chu Ge caught the falling handbag again, and Huang Yourong's heart skipped a beat, as if Chu Ge's hand not only held the bag but also clenched her heart tightly.
Then, Chu Ge threw the bag up again, and Huang Yourong's heart was suspended high along with it.
"Intentionally harming a female national officer, wouldn't that be an even greater crime? Even though you don't appear injured, I did beat you quite a bit earlier, didn't I?"
Chu Ge's voice was still lazily indifferent, but Huang Yourong felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she even forgot to grab the handbag, her body starting to tremble.
"Snap!"
Chu Ge caught the falling handbag once more and turned to look at Huang Yourong, "Hey? Sister Huang, are you cold?"
"No, no, I'm not cold." Facing Chu Ge's harmless and bright smile, Huang Yourong trembled even more.
"If you're not cold, then why are you shaking?" Chu Ge casually pinched his chin with his free left hand, looking puzzled.
"I... I..." Huang Yourong's eyes drifted to the handbag, her mind buzzing, unable to say a complete sentence.
Suddenly, Chu Ge appeared to have an epiphany, grinning, "Are you worried about your cosmetics breaking? Oh, it's not that serious. Although I don't have much money, buying you a set of cosmetics is no problem."
As Chu Ge caught the handbag again, he continued with a smile, "Your cosmetics shouldn't be more expensive than your phone, right? Oh, if it's a recording device or a bug, then perhaps it's not as expensive as your cosmetics."
Hearing Chu Ge say this, the last bit of hope in Huang Yourong's heart shattered completely, and she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. Her face turned pale as paper, her pupils contracted sharply, and her body trembled even more.
At this point, Chu Ge's smile became even brighter. He unzipped the handbag calmly and took out the phone inside. Seeing the recording interface, he clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Sister Huang, earlier you screamed your heart out to threaten me, you really gave it your all, huh? Your throat must be hoarse. Want some water to soothe it?"
Huang Yourong stayed silent, but suddenly, she reached for Chu Ge's face with one hand and her phone with the other, her expression turning ferocious as if she wanted to peel off Chu Ge's skin and eat his flesh.
Chu Ge snorted lightly through his nose. With just a slight lift of his leg, Huang Yourong, who was standing next to him, spun around and was kicked to the ground by Chu Ge, making a "thud" as she rolled a few times on the ground.
Though the fall was quite hard, Huang Yourong seemed not to feel the pain at all. She climbed up on all fours and madly charged at Chu Ge again, looking just like a ferocious female dog.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength between people is not something that can be bridged by determination and aggressiveness alone. With her combat skills, she probably couldn't even handle a high school thug, let alone challenge Chu Ge.
Huang Yourong had just managed to get close to Chu Ge but hadn't had the chance to reach for the phone again before being kicked back to the ground by Chu Ge. Her multiple attempts ended in her being kicked down each time.
Only a minute passed, and Huang Yourong finally couldn't get up, lying on her back on the ground, gasping heavily.
Despite her unwillingness, she finally came to terms with the fact that even if she were at her best, it would be impossible for her to snatch that phone from Chu Ge.
"Plop!"
Chu Ge tossed the phone next to Huang Yourong, and in an instant, her hollow eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed the phone.
Yet, when she saw the phone's screen, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly. Her hand subconsciously loosened, and the phone fell again.
Chu Ge chuckled coldly, "Hey, it's only natural for me to delete that audio you could use for editing. Did you really think I would leave it for you? What are you so disappointed about?"
"Why? Why? Why!"
Huang Yourong stared at the ceiling, repeating the word "why" three times, each louder than the last. By the end, she was almost shouting, her tone filled with hysteria.
Her eyes went from initial confusion to extreme unwillingness, and her weak fists clenched and pounded heavily on the ground.
Chu Ge squatted down beside Huang Yourong, meeting her gaze, and smiled as he touched his nose, "I say, Sister Huang, do you think you're pretty smart? Those words you said earlier were quite moving, and your emotional performance was particularly spot-on? Feeling especially unwilling now?"
Chu Ge was clearly asking the obvious. Of course, the reason he did this was to appreciate Huang Yourong's current expression, and the distorted face that appeared in his vision made him very satisfied.
Huang Yourong sneered, "How did you find out? Is my acting really that bad?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "No, your acting is great, really great. If you switch careers to be an actress, you'd definitely be a powerhouse."
Huang Yourong was stunned, then her eyebrows furrowed tightly. After two seconds, she sighed powerlessly, thinking that Chu Ge's words were mocking her.
"You don't need to doubt it. What I said is true. It's a pity you were so focused on acting well in this play that you overlooked a very crucial thing."
"What?" Although Huang Yourong felt that Chu Ge might not be telling her the truth, she really wanted to know why she was seen through by Chu Ge.
"When I show a grim face, a normal person's reaction should be panic, fear, but you have been accommodating me all along. To accommodate me, you even smiled so hard under my constant provocation, and you were so happy being hit. Don't you think that's a huge flaw?"
"Ha..." Huang Yourong let out a bitter laugh. She finally understood that she was too eager for quick success.
However, even so, she still found the man in front of her frighteningly calm. In that situation, he could still make such an analysis, which is absolutely something not everyone can do.
"It seems you've finally figured it out." Chu Ge patted Huang Yourong's face and stood up beside her. "Thank you for your hospitality just now. After tormenting you for a while, I'm in a very good mood, but now you can leave. I want to sleep."
He threw out a sentence with his back turned to Huang Yourong, then stepped away.
Just two steps out, Chu Ge's pant leg was suddenly grabbed. He turned back rather impatiently, only to see Huang Yourong had already knelt up, tears spilling over her eyes, her expression full of bitter pleas.
"Chu Ge, I know you look down on me. I know you've already guessed that I was involved in framing you and Mu Lingshan. I don't want to defend myself, but... but can you give me a chance? I'm just a weak woman, I just want to keep everything I have now. I'm begging you, can you let me go this time?"
At this point, Huang Yourong was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Chu Ge looked at Huang Yourong expressionlessly, "Let go."
Huang Yourong's body trembled, but her hand gripped even tighter.
"I'll say it one last time, let go. You can leave now."
Chu Ge's tone didn't change, but in Huang Yourong's ears, it sounded so cold and indifferent.
Huang Yourong eventually let go. She didn't want to, but her hand had no strength at all, and she involuntarily loosened her grip. Just at the moment she let go, she felt like she lost her last straw, lost everything, and the whole world began to spin.
Yes, if it were her in Chu Ge or Mu Lingshan's position now, if someone framed her like that, and then tried to extort her when failing, would she let the person go?
The answer is, of course, no. No matter what reason the other party might have, this is absolutely unforgivable!
Watching Chu Ge's departing figure, Huang Yourong bit her lip tightly, imagining the series of consequences she might suffer next, and shivered all over.
Maybe... I could jump down here. Even if I die, I can't let him off easily!
As this crazy thought sprouted in Huang Yourong's mind, her features contorted grotesquely, she suddenly heard Chu Ge's very impatient voice again in her ear.
"In the future, use your little cleverness more at work."
Huang Yourong was abruptly stunned. She quickly raised her head, barely able to believe her ears, "Wha-what?"
"Your brain's not working well, is your hearing also bad? Before I change my mind, turn off the lights outside for me, and get out quickly."
In her view, Chu Ge glanced impatiently to the side and said something, then turned off the lights in the room, and his figure was immediately engulfed in darkness, with only a faint outline remaining.
Huang Yourong stared blankly for over a minute, her expression changing repeatedly, before finally standing up from the ground.
"Tha... thank you."
A voice of incredulous gratitude, a sigh of inexplicable complexity, and after the soft sound of the door, the room was engulfed in silence.
In the darkness, Chu Ge lay on the bed, a trace of self-mockery emerging at the corner of his lips.
