"If you take one more step, I will slit her throat."
The voice sounded again. This time, the threat was even more obvious.
Su Mo slowly raised both hands.
"Alright."
His voice remained calm, at least on the surface.
Inside, however, his mind was racing.
He was extremely worried.
Yet panic wouldn't save Yang Qingxi.
Only thinking clearly would.
The fact that the intruder was willing to talk was actually good news.
If the other party wanted to kill her, they could have done it already.
Instead, they were threatening him. That meant they wanted something.
As long as they wanted something, Yang Qingxi should still have value alive.
That gave him room to act, at least for now.
Su Mo secretly took a deep breath. His eyes never left the dark blade near Yang Qingxi's neck.
The slightest movement from the intruder caused his heart to tighten.
At the same time, he carefully observed the person.
The more he observed, the stranger he felt.
Strong.
