While Gu Xue enthusiastically spent the afternoon planting vegetables, Gu Lin not only didn't feel tired but also found enjoyment in the activity. It was different from farming in the space.
Gu Xue remained excited throughout the process. Seeing her without any signs of fatigue, Gu Lin was very satisfied.
During meals together in the past few days, Gu Lin always added spring water from the space to her drinking water.
It seemed that the effects of this spring water on Gu Xue were quite rapid.
Once Gu Xue's body undergoes further changes, Gu Lin plans to start exercising with her.
The phone vibrated, reminding Gu Lin of the messages he had sent to Bai Weiyi earlier. He glanced down and urged Gu Xue to quickly go take a shower.
If it weren't for Gu Xue actually planting several planting boxes, Gu Lin would have thought she was just playing with mud, as she ended up covered in dirt from head to toe.
Gu Xue acknowledged and first cleaned up the floor of the planting room before returning to her own room. Her bedroom had an attached bathroom, while Gu Lin used the one near the living room.
Once he tidied himself up and emerged feeling refreshed, Gu Lin finally opened his phone.
Bai Weiwei had sent several messages, essentially agreeing to meet but insisting on dictating the time and place according to her own terms.
Gu Lin didn't mind and simply replied with a "okay." He had originally planned to meet her a week before the apocalypse, not far from the Purple Orchid Garden.
Although it might be risky to commit murder during that time frame, Gu Lin didn't have a better option.
When the apocalypse truly arrives, Bai Weiwei might even gain new opportunities amidst the stellar explosion that plunges the world into darkness.
It would be much harder to deal with her then.
So, the best course of action was to strike early against Bai Weiwei.
As long as he was careful and erased all traces, he shouldn't be caught within seven days.
When the apocalypse arrives, the police's resources would be fully dedicated to maintaining social stability and providing relief for disasters.
Who would have time to investigate a missing person?
Gu Lin glanced down at the faint purple electric arc pulsating in his palm, his eyes gradually turning colder.
He had already thought of countless ways to render Bai Weiwei instantly powerless.
Regardless of whether Bai Weiwei has awakened ice-based abilities or not,even to the point where she couldn't muster the strength to retrieve weapons from her space.
Just then, Bai Weiwei replied again:
"The time is in eight days, and the location is near the small grove near your villa."
Seeing this response, Gu Lin couldn't help but smile. He waited for two minutes before replying with a simple "okay."
In eight days, there would only be three days left until the apocalypse.
Indeed, there was a small grove near the villa where Gu Lin and Gu Xue used to live, and it was easy to find. That grove happened to have no surveillance cameras.
To safeguard the privacy of villa owners, there were few surveillance cameras in the villa area.
If Bai Weiwei deliberately avoided surveillance cameras and went to that grove, she could very well get away unscathed after eliminating Gu Lin.
It seemed like Bai Weiwei also wanted to kill him? What a coincidence, considering Gu Lin also wanted to kill her.
Sensing Gu Xue's approach, the electric arc in Gu Lin's hand vanished instantly.
The next moment, Gu Xue's small hand pulled open Gu Lin's curtain:
"Brother, do you want me to wipe this curtain for you?"
Gu Lin looked at the small paw prints right next to the mud handprint and nodded, "Sure, go ahead, I'll go to your room to check out the books."
"Okay."
Gu Xue, wearing her little slippers, dashed off to the bathroom to wash the towels.
In no time, she had neatly arranged all the books that Gu Lin had stacked there into the bookshelf.
Each compartment only contained books of the same category, neatly organized.
Gu Lin casually picked up a book titled <Rabbit Farming Techniques> and sat on the ergonomic chair he had grabbed earlier.
However, his mind wasn't focused on the book but on the recent chat with Bai Weiwei.
He had fabricated a simple reason that convinced Bai Weiwei to agree to meet—a white jade ring that matched the pendant.
How could Bai Weiwei refuse the ring that
accompanied the pendant containing a storage space?
From Bai Weiwei's perspective, she might think that the ring could potentially hold farming or breeding functions that were missing in the pendant's space.
Even if the ring didn't have any special properties initially, who knows what changes it might undergo after the apocalypse?
Moreover, Gu Lin didn't promise to give the white jade ring to Bai Weiwei; he only mentioned comparing it to the spatial pendant she had.
After focusing on hoarding for so long without receiving the same attentiveness from Gu Lin as before, Bai Weiwei's sudden realization that Gu Lin might have another spatial item would certainly arouse her interest.
Indeed, Bai Weiwei's choice of time and location is indeed convenient for murder and disposing of bodies.
Gu Lin's fingertips tapped on the pages of the book, his eyes slightly cold.
Ten years of care resulted in betrayal and murder. In this new life, Bai Weiwei shows no hint of remorse or intention to make amends.
Not only did she fail to utter any words of warning to Gu Lin about the apocalypse , she also took away Gu Lin's spatial pendant.
If Gu Lin hadn't been reborn early, that spatial pendant might have been given away for nothing, not even for a million.
Moreover, if Gu Lin hadn't taken control of the spatial pendant beforehand and firmly rejected Bai Weiwei's request for it, Bai Weiwei would have surely sensed the possibility of Gu Lin's rebirth.
Given Bai Weiwei's character, to prevent retaliation from Gu Lin, she would have struck first, killed Gu Lin, and taken the spatial pendant.
With the connections Bai Weiwei has with those wealthy second generations, covering up a murder case would be no difficult task at all.
Those people can even obtain large quantities of drugs and gasoline, showing their capabilities.
If Bai Weiwei turns the tables and claims that Gu Lin attempted rape, while she was merely acting in self-defense, then Gu Lin would go from being the victim to the perpetrator...
Gu Lin closed his eyes, his thin lips forming a straight line.
Flipping through the book casually, Gu Lin then returned it to the bookshelf.
As for Bai Weiwei's matter, Gu Lin had already figured out a plan.
Although it wasn't a earth-shattering event, he wouldn't take it lightly either.
There were still a few days left until the agreed-upon time, so there was no need to worry about it constantly.
Gu Lin had other things to do.
Glancing at a text message from an unfamiliar number on his phone, Gu Lin chuckled, left Gu Xue's room, gave a brief reminder, and then headed out the door.
