Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: BRING IT ON

"GAYOON OPPA, thank you for taking care of me. I’ll go now."

"Have you lost your mind, Lee Sarang?" Ki Gayoon asked coldly. "Why would you return to the people who tried to kill you?"

After having dinner, Lee Sarang went to the guest room to change her clothes.

Then the kid suddenly said something crazy.

If Noh Yuno wasn’t sleeping on Gayoon’s lap (as they were watching TV in the living room), he would have gotten up and grabbed Lee Sarang by the collar. Then he would have locked up the kid in the room so she wouldn’t say something as stupid as returning to her house.

Why would she return there?

"Oppa, I have a plan," Lee Sarang said, sitting in a kneeling position in front of Gayoon. "I don’t remember anything that happened when the Ice Queen took over. So, I can pretend that I lost a portion of my memory when I returned. I’ll pretend I don’t remember their attempt to kill me. Ah, no." She shook her head. "It won’t be "pretending" if I really erase my memories."

"Is that something your new skill can do?"

"Yes, Oppa. I already figured out how to "borrow" other people’s memories, so I can return the memories of your subordinates later."

Ah, so Lee Sarang didn’t accidentally erase the memories of Gayoon’s subordinates.

She just "borrowed" them temporarily.

"Oppa, if Sungbin Oppa tried to kill me just because he realized that I saw him hide a piece of evidence, then that only means that the flash drive contains vital information," Lee Sarang said in a serious tone. "I want to try and steal that flash drive again."

"How can you do that if you’re going to erase your memories?"

"I only need my memories erased to convince Sungbin Oppa and the rest that I don’t remember their attempt on my life, just in case they call that Esper who serves like a human lie detector," Lee Sarang explained. "I’m planning to put a timer in my head. So, after quite some time, the memories that I sealed would return to me. Hence, I won’t fall for Sungbin Oppa’s lies."

"What if they kill you before that timer even gets activated?"

"Oppa, don’t be pessimistic."

"I’m not being pessimistic," Gayoon said sternly. "They already tried to kill you once, Lee Sarang. That means Ryu Sungbin already crossed the line that I warned him not to cross."

Lee Sarang flinched, and it was probably because of the bloodlust Gayoon accidentally released.

He didn’t mean to, but he was pissed.

Being reminded that Ryu Sungbin tried to kill Lee Sarang was enough to make him mad.

That’s the only thing I asked from that bastard— to not kill the kids.

Was that too much to ask?

"Hyung, calm down."

Oh.

Gayoon felt instantly relaxed when Noh Yuno touched his face.

Ah, he’s awake.

"I’m sorry for waking you up," Gayoon said, sighing while leaning into Noh Yuno’s touch more. "Should I tuck you in bed first?"

"Nah, I want to be included in this conversation," Noh Yuno said while getting up. He removed his hand from Gayoon’s cheek, but he held Gayoon’s hand after sitting properly. It was Guiding and not just a simple skinship. "Sarang Noona, can I be blunt with you?"

Lee Sarang laughed nervously. "That sounds scary, but go ahead, Yuno-ya."

"I understand your desire to steal that flash drive. But now that Esper Ryu Sungbin-ssi and the others know that you’re aware of its existence, I’m sure they already hid the evidence. Heck, I think they already destroyed it. I would if I were them."

Gayoon nodded in silent agreement.

"Sarang Noona, there’s another reason why you want to return, right?" Noh Yuno asked carefully. "Are you worried about Guide Mo Hanjin-ssi?"

Ah.

Gayoon almost forgot about Lee Sarang’s obsession with her Guide.

If that’s the case, then we might not convince Lee Sarang to stay here.

"I couldn’t fight with my whole strength back then because they held Mo Hanjin hostage," Lee Sarang said, her voice shaking a bit. "If I don’t return, they’ll realize that I’m back to normal. Then they might end up killing Mo Hanjin."

Now Gayoon couldn’t say anything.

After all, if someone told me to ditch Noh Yuno just to save myself, I’d snap.

"Sarang Noona, I’m sorry to say this— but Guide Mo Hanjin-ssi is actually killing you."

Gayoon and Lee Sarang both turned to Noh Yuno with a look of disbelief on their faces.

***

IT WAS something that Yuno couldn’t say carelessly.

Hence, he was planning to keep his mouth shut until he had enough evidence that Mo Hanjin was killing Lee Sarang.

Not that I know where to start.

Then Yuno realized that he needed to say something before Lee Sarang ended up dead.

Aigoo. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

But Hyung could have put it in a nicer way...

It’s hard because Sarang Noona’s crying face is poking my conscience, but I have to do this.

In fact, I know because Sajangnim told me that it was the reason Esper Ryu Sungbin-ssi chose Team Leader Bambi-ssi over him.

They may be stranger than E-Class Guides.

It’s not like I can tell Sarang Noona to just let Guide Mo Hanjin-ssi die...
