His heart was in his throat, but he had never let it go. Even when he ate, walked, or slept, he would always remain vigilant. He was deeply afraid that something would happen in the next second.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you." He could feel her body trembling. He hugged her more tightly. When he felt Gu Ruoyun in his arms, he gently caressed her hair. He could smell the scent of someone else on her body.

Yes, it was the smell of a man. The faint scent of ancient dragon perfume, along with the faint scent of tobacco, made him feel disgusted. No matter where she was, she seemed to have the smell of a man on her.

He suddenly pushed Gu Ruoyun away. He stood up and stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes. The night was too dark, she couldn't see his expression, and naturally she couldn't see the pain in his eyes.

"But, what about Bi Xue?" Gu Ruoyun's hand grabbed the green grass on the ground. She found her hand empty and helpless.

Raising her head, she saw He Luo striding forward and continued to walk. Gu Ruoyun bowed and stood up, then quickly followed his footsteps.

She had been injured since the beginning of the script, and now that she kept up with him, she did not dare to cry out from the pain as she accidentally stepped on a rock on the ground.

This place was filled with people from Leng Lian City, and anyone who talked loudly would be discovered. Furthermore, Gu Ruoyun noticed that there were bodyguards all around here, and inadvertently, she noticed that there would be people patrolling everywhere. From the looks of it, these people were all elites.

"I will think of a way. You can act according to your plan now." He could not bear to say such harsh words to Gu Ruoqing. When she cried, she seemed so real.

However, since Leng Lian City had destroyed her, he would not let it go so easily. No matter who he was, as long as he was still alive and had a breath of air, Leng Lian City would be his greatest enemy.

"He Luo, how did you find us here? There are traps and bodyguards everywhere, be careful by yourself." Gu Ruoyun's sudden discovery of the river had surprised her. How did he come to this place?

He overheard their conversation. It seemed that this place was extremely secretive and ordinary people would not be able to find out about this place. The bodyguards that brought Nangong Lan here were all killed.

Thinking of their ruthless methods, Gu Ruoyun was still hesitating. It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but that they would use the same method to deal with her.

They didn't trust anyone, let alone him. It wasn't that Gu Ruoyun didn't have confidence, it was that she couldn't figure out what kind of person Leng Liancheng was. He was clearly smiling, but he could kill a person in the next second.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. I won't be able to stay here for too long, I will contact you. Be careful. No matter what, you need to obtain his trust. Don't let yourself get hurt." Her personality was too straightforward, coupled with her lack of shrewdness, he couldn't hide his worries. Sometimes, she would be ruthless enough to make him worry, but now, after much difficulty in finding her, he found that she was already riddled with scars.

"Alright." Gu Ruoyun didn't know what to say. She was afraid that if she said anything more, it would increase his burden. Even if she was helpless, afraid, or even afraid, this could only be borne by her alone. No one could help her.

She was a member of the organisation, she could not learn how to be strong, she could not be the strongest person, she only wanted the people she cared about to live.

It was only later on that Gu Ruoyun realized that she had been regretting her decision. If she hadn't met Leng Liancheng, her life wouldn't have changed. If she hadn't met him, perhaps her life would have been like a dry well, devoid of any interest. For him, she could ignore everything. Unfortunately, in the end, she realized that she had never been able to recover from her fear, just like how she had never known him.

"Remember, don't fall in love with him. Don't believe his words." He turned around when he saw her nod. He gently caressed Gu Ruoyun's face, and she raised her head to look at him with a faint smile. It had been a long time since she had last seen such a smile.

"Also, you look bad in a man's shirt." He had to remind her that she was wearing the clothes of another man.

He wished that he could rip off all of Gu Ruoyun's clothes. This was Leng Liancheng's clothes; no wonder she had the scent of a man on her.

Seeing her fair thighs appearing outside, his body began to burn inexplicably. His fingertips rested on her shoulder. Seeing her petite body wearing a large shirt, he couldn't help but turn his head, his eyes somewhat dry.

"I... "I know." Gu Ruoyun muttered softly. She knew that wearing men's clothes was indeed ugly, but she seemed to habitually put on a set of clothes to sleep.

It was the same way in the past, but she was previously wearing a large T-shirt made from blue snow. Later on, when she was used to wearing a shirt made of Leng Liancheng's shirt, she didn't think too much about it because it was big enough, wide enough, and it was comfortable to wear.

Her expression stung his eyes, her clothes made him hate her even more, and he turned and walked away quickly. Soon, the river disappeared right in front of her eyes, and when she looked up at the dark night, she suddenly felt as if something had been sucked out of her.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Ruoyun quickly walked back. Her feet were in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on returning to her bedroom before Leng Lian City.

"There's someone over there. Let's go take a look." Hearing the voice of the bodyguard, Gu Ruoyun hid in the bamboo forest at the side and looked in another direction to find her way back to the bedroom.

She wasn't very familiar with this place, but she was used to observing the terrain the moment she came out. Although she wasn't familiar with the environment here, she wasn't lost.

After walking for three minutes, Gu Ruoyun finally returned to her bedroom. The pitch-black bedroom reassured her that she was back. She reached out her hand to turn on the light, but her entire body stiffened instantly.

"You, why did you come back?" Gu Ruoyun's smile was a little fake. She saw Leng Liancheng leaning on the headboard, constantly smoking a cigar between his two fingers as he stared at her.

Being stared at by him made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. In front of her forever, Gu Ruoyun was like a child who had done something wrong.

There was a glass of red wine on the table. It seemed like he had been back for a while, drinking and smoking again. Gu Ruoyun thought to herself as her small hands tightly gripped her shirt.

It was as if wearing his shirt had long since become a habit that could not be changed. From the first time she saw him, to the moment she destroyed so many of his shirts, Gu Ruoyun could not even count how many.

"Where did he go?" Leng Liancheng's handsome face sank as his cold eyes stared at Gu Ruoyun. Her hands were a little dirty, her feet were covered in mud, and some bamboo leaves were still stuck to her hair. She had clearly gone out.
