The performance was supposed to be brief, but Yu Chu Xue transformed it into an emotionally-charged ordeal lasting over thirty minutes.

Her voice rang out with accusations against society and rebellious words that bordered on treason.

As the weight of her declarations grew, Zhao Yu felt an unease tighten around his chest. “Enough!”

Maybe due to the tension, she could not heard the order from Zhao Yu.

“Enough is enough! THat’s it. Zhao Yu went up to stopped her.

Yu Chu Xue stopped, gasping for breath. The adrenaline coursing through her veins made her heart race.

She’d never before unveiled so much of herself, let alone in such a raw manner.

Zhao Yu swiftly moved to the camera, extracting the memory stick. He held it up for her to see. “You understand, don’t you?”

“Yes.” She murmured. For the first time, she’d bared her soul, revealing her deepest fears and desires before a man. Vulnerability washed over her.

“All the discussions about reparations, the secrets, our dealings— everything’s on this. I need to play along with me?”

Yu Chu Xue seemed lost for a moment, her bare skin highlighting her vulnerability. “What kind of show?”

“It’s evident your bracelet’s a counterfeit.” Zhao Yu deduced.

He sensed the tension in the room.

If the influential Yu Family discovered the reason behind Yu Chu Xue’s sudden shift in behavior, he’d be in grave danger.

“I’ll cooperate,” Yu Chu Xue murmured, her voice soft, almost enchanting. It unnerved Zhao Yu.

Checking his watch, Zhao Yu noted it was just midday.

He had plans for the evening, leaving his afternoon free.

“Let’s reconvene at six in the evening. Where do you usually dine?”

“Cafeteria No. 6.” she replied.

The upscale No. 6 cafeteria aligned with Yu Chu Xue’s status. “Then at six, bring the fragments of the jade. We’ll have it appraised.”

However, instead of acknowledging, Yu Chu Xue stepped closer, her gaze intense and unyielding.

A soft whisper escaped her lips.

“Zhao Yu, have you ever noticed your striking features?”

???????????????????????

Caught off guard, Zhao Yu felt a chill. Her gaze reminded him of the countless infatuated glances he’d received in the past, but this was different—more profound.

“You must remain neutral this afternoon,” he advised. “You can’t show emotions. Not after this morning.”

Ignoring his caution, she whispered, “Would you ever consider being with someone like me?”

Zhao Yu’s heart raced.

Was this the infamous Stockholm Syndrome?

Or perhaps another act of deception?

“LISTEN~CLOSELY~TO~WHAT~I~SAY.” Zhao Yu emphasizing each word.

Nodding, Yu Chu Xue’s voice was soft but certain, “Your wish is my command.” Zhao Yu paused, collecting his thoughts. “Once we establish that your bracelet is counterfeit, I’ll demand restitution. Based on your attempt to blackmail me…”

“I want the precision machine tool that belongs to the Yu family as compensation,” he declared, a steely note in his voice.

Before he could grasp the weight of his statement, Yu Chu Xue closed the distance between them, her arms encircling him in a surprising embrace. Instinctively, Zhao Yu’s hands went to her wrists, checking for any hidden weapon or threat.

Drawing a deep breath, Yu Chu xue murmured against his chest, “Your scent… it’s intoxicating.”

!@#$!@#$%*ao/o$#@

Zhao Yu’s heart raced, confusion evident on his face.

“Have you lost your senses?” He gently, but firmly, disentangled himself from her embrace.

She looked up at him, eyes shimmering with an unspoken emotion.

“I’ve come to a startling realization -1 think 1 might be falling for you.”

“After everything that just transpired, you say that?” Zhao Yu really could not believed her.

With a tilt of her head, she replied.

“From your perspective, you’ve done nothing to me that wasn’t necessary. So why should I see it any differently?”

Zhao Yu was confounded by her reaction, but he recognized that now wasn’t the time for introspection.

With a swift motion, he grabbed a nearby towel and handed it to her. “Take care. And brace yourself for the aftermath this afternoon.”

A touch of longing flickered in her eyes. “One last embrace? I want to etch your essence in my memory.”

Zhao Yu hesitated momentarily, then murmured, “Perhaps another time.”

Without another word, he retreated from the scene. Guided by Xiao Liu’s instructions, he skillfully navigated past security cameras and patrolling guards, making his way toward the dormitory.

As he passed a trash bin, he nonchalantly discarded the memory stick he had supposedly recorded their confrontation on.

The truth was, he never recorded anything. The memory stick remained untouched, its purpose merely a ruse.

In his mind, the threat carried more weight than the actual proof. If Yu Chu Xue feared exposure, the mere act of pretending to record would keep her in check.

But if she didn’t care, then the authenticity of the recording was inconsequential.

The equipment’s presence was merely a diversion for her benefit..
