A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob sneered, "You really know how to come up with plans."

"Is that a yes?" asked Mr. Gu.

"But on one condition," Jacob said.

"Go on," added Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu seemed to have peaked his interest.

"This is the last thing I will do for you," Jacob said, with a cold, hard look on his face.

"Okay," Mr. Gu promised quickly. He seemed to have thought of something, and his wrinkled old face showed an unidentified smile. "Jacob, the war in A country is so fierce that you must come back alive, otherwise how can you avenge me?"

Jacob knew what Mr. Gu was implying. With his dark, piercing eyes he said, "Anyway, I am going to live longer than you, you can rest assured."

On his way out, Jacob ran into Jack.

"You've seen Emily? Are you happy?" Jacob mocked. Jack glared at Jacob's face gloomily, and said," I am wondering why you haven't died yet."

"Shut up!" he screamed at Jack. Jacob's face was as cold as ice. He warned, "If you let it out, I will kill you."

Suddenly, Jack frowned with shame. He knew that Jacob was talking about Emily.

Whether it was in the office or at other places, Jack upheld the principle of not letting Jacob be happy. He always liked to work against him, but for this matter, they acted in tacit agreement.

Neither of them wanted Mr. Gu to know about Emily's existence, to avoid any kind of harm befalling her.

Jack's hot pursuit of Emily had drawn the attention of Mr. Gu. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go to the party, instead he carried out the tasks given to him by Mr. Gu.

The fear in his heart had grow into hatred over the years.

Not only did he want Jacob to die, he also wanted Mr. Gu to die. That way, nobody could stop him from being with Emily.

"Jack," Jacob called out, looking like a beast stretching out its sharp claws. "Just because you want me to die, doesn't mean that I will," he added.
