Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 953

Chapter 953: Reason for Being Hunted
She had saved his life, and they were surrounded by her own staff.
The moment Xie Yan was brought up to the wagon, he decided to confess, otherwise he would not have chosen to step into the wagon. Gu Chaoyan was not a kind-hearted person, as he knew, so she saved him not out of kindness, but out of some purpose. She needed to know what was going on.
Xie Yan looked at Gu Chaoyan, appearing defensive.
This woman, who seemed to be looked down upon by the heir and his Princess Consort, was looking so intimidating in front of him. He could feel her imposing air. However, he was not a green bird. Even under such a circumstance, he was trying his best to keep himself safe.
As far as he could see… all Gu Chaoyan needed was to know what was going on.
Therefore, the story he was about to tell was the most important leverage. If he spilled it out directly, Gu Chaoyan and her staff might do something to him, but if he tried to hide the truth, Gu Chaoyan might leave him alone instead of taking care of him. So he had to come up with a proper statement.
Well…
Gu Chaoyan looked at Xie Yan impatiently. This strategist was still trying to make use of his own abilities by calculating constantly, even though Zhou Huailing was not around.
However, they had no time or patience to counter him at the moment.
Xie Yan had completely forgotten that if not for her, he would have been caught or strayed somewhere else at this moment.
She had understood the moment she saw Xie Yan – each of his wounds was bad, but none of the wounds was fatal. So obviously, the hunter was tormenting him, stopping him from countering them in any way.
“You have to be very aware that even if you don’t tell the true story, and I help you come to the capital, I will be able to understand what is going on. You should know clearly what you have for leverage at the moment, which is nothing,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly. “Either you tell me the full, true story, so I promise to keep you safe for two months, or I will transport you directly to Dali Temple in the capital, right now.”
Xie Yan had a very distressed look on his face.
He had been calculating what he had in store and what tricks he could use, but it seemed that Gu Chaoyan had seen through him. Therefore, he was faced with these two options.
What he had in store was not a top secret. He only wanted to use it as leverage, but if he was able to stay safe for two months, then the time would be enough for him to recover physically and make a plan to escape.
However, Xie Yan was very worried about whether she was going to keep her promise....
“Are you going to keep the promise to keep me safe for two months?” Xie Yan asked, with a slightly shivering voice.
“Of course, I never tell lies.” Gu Chaoyan said coldly, losing some patience.
Xie Yan thought about the whole situation, then he decided to have a try.
He nodded. “Okay, I will tell the story!”
“…”
“It is the Heir’s staff, who are hunting me!”
“…”
“When the Heir was still under the title of Lord Ling, he personally asked me to become his strategist. However, I never had the intention of signing a permanent contract with anybody, so I only promised to work for him for five years.”
“…”
“Five days ago, it was the end of my time working for him.”
