Translator: 549690339

Yin Qin watched Wei Ziming disappear, then turned back to look at Ji Baijian’s dark face.

His so-called… romantic rival.

Wei Ziming isn’t Song Zhizhi’s blood brother, the two of them don’t share any blood relation at all.

For some reason, there was a sense of schadenfreude in his heart.

Ji Baijian, a person who always held his nose high, should receive some setbacks!

With that in mind.

Ji Baijian had already relocated them to a new hiding spot.

They had not gone far when gunshots rang in their ears.

Wei Ziming had successfully drawn away the enemy’s attention.

Song Zhizhi was somewhat startled. She trembled slightly, “Brother Ziming.”

Luo Xiaolang also seemed worried at that moment.

“Let’s find a place to hide first.” Ji Baijian pulled Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi clenched her teeth.

She never thought that she would put so many people in such danger.

The sky began to darken.

They took refuge in a cave, hidden by a dense thicket of trees.

It was hard to detect unless you knew what to look for. Luo Xiaolang’s keen senses did not detect any footsteps, so for now, they were safe. The four of them huddled together.

The night was cold.

The temperature difference on the island was vast, but they couldn’t light a fire for fear of revealing their location.

Song Zhizhi was shivering.

Ji Baijian put his coat on her and held her in his arms to warm her.

They were quiet together.

Until Luo Xiaolang couldn’t sit still any longer, “I’ll go take a look.”

Yin Qin grabbed her, “What are you going out to look for?”

“My master.”

“Your master is out there distracting the Corpse Organization, you will expose us if you go out there.”

“I wouldn’t drag you down.” Luo Xiaolang stated firmly.

“I’m trying to look out for you.” Yin Qin snapped, feeling like his kindness was being wasted.

“I don’t need you to care about me.”

With that, she went out.

Yin Qin watched as Luo Xiaolang disappeared into the darkness.

So did Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian.

It took Yin Qin a while to react, “Damn, this little mutt has a big temper.”

No one responded to Yin Qin.

Yin Qin touched his nose but said nothing further.

He leaned against the cave wall, still feeling terrified.

He was in Jin City, sipping expensive wine, keeping Ji Baijian company while he worked overtime, ribbing him about his peculiar expressions whenever he answered a call—a clear sign of new love. But in the next moment, Ji Baijian pulled him onto a chartered flight to Beixia Country. At the airport, they ran into Wei Ziming who was also looking for Song Zhizhi. They ended up in a desolate area and their fate was uncertain.

Was meeting Ji Baijian bad luck for him?!

He always seemed to find himself in the middle of major events—earth shaking events.

In the silence that ensued.

There was a sudden movement at the entrance of the cave.

Everyone tensed immediately.

Ji Baijian stepped in front of Song Zhizhi, while signalling Yin Qin to move back.

Yin Qin quickly moved next to Song Zhizhi.

Ji Baijian moved towards the cave entrance.

Song Zhizhi reached out to hold onto Ji Baijian, but only caught the corner of his clothes.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

She stared straight at the cave entrance.

Seeing Ji Baijian standing tall in the faint moonlight, at that moment she felt like he was shielding her from all danger!

“It’S us.” Luo Xiaolang’s voice echoed from outside.

Song Zhizhi let out a sigh of relief.

In that same moment, Ji Baijian rushed back to Song Zhizhi’s side.

“My master is injured.” Luo Xiaolang entered the cave, supporting Wei Ziming.

The tension Song Zhizhi had momentarily eased was revived instantly..
