Liangcheng.

There was not a sound in the quiet night.

Qiao Qing finished her evening study and, after finishing it, it was already 10 o'clock at night.

With one hand carrying a backpack casually slung over his shoulder, and the other hand in his pocket, he strolled out of the middle school.

Passing by a row of barbecue stalls with fragrant aromas, I arrived at a quiet and secluded tree-lined path.

The streetlights were old and poorly maintained, casting only a faint, sickly yellow light.

Everything was silent and still, making even the sound of my footsteps seem unusually loud.

Walking and walking, Qiao Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks.

My nostrils flared, and a thick, fishy smell hit me.

I'm just trying to figure out what's going on, and suddenly my ankle gets clamped by something.

Qiao Qing lowered her head slightly and took a look. A pale hand was clutching her ankle, with some dye on it.

No wonder it's a little sticky, Qiao Qing thought.

A barely perceptible lift of his eyes, a glance following the line of his arm, and he found himself face to face with a devilishly handsome visage that could captivate any soul.

When Qiao Qing looked at Jun Ye Xuan, Jun Ye Xuan who was lying on the ground also lifted his head to look at her.

Softly, he gasped, his voice laced with pain, "Save me."

Joe Qing's face was emotionless. His words were cold and indifferent, "I never make unprofitable deals. Give me a reason to save you."

Jun Ye Xuan's breath caught, as if he hadn't expected someone to be so cold. Yet, there was also a hint of admiration for someone like himself.

Then, he tossed money, "One hundred million."

After he finished speaking, Qiao Qing remained silent and did not take any action.

Jun Ye Xuan thought to himself, could it be that they disliked him?

I guess so, his life couldn't possibly only be worth a hundred million.

Just as I was about to add more money, Qiao Qing's cold and clear voice came from above my head, "I don't need your money."

Jun Ye Xuan was completely shocked and moved by the fact that there were still such people in Liang City. He felt a surge of interest at that moment.

The wound was still oozing blood, in danger of life at any moment, but his face remained serene.

A wicked and alluring smile curled up the corner of his lips. "What do you say?"

Joe Qing, hearing this, still had no change in expression. It seemed as if his patience was wearing thin.

"Not how."

Having left that sentence, Qiao Qing raised her foot to break free from his restraints and left without a backward glance.

Jun Ye Xuan: "..."

He thought his heart was cold and cruel enough, but he didn't expect to find someone who was just as ruthless.

"Could it be that I'm going to die here today?" Jun Ye Xuan thought to himself with a wry smile.

And yet, an inexplicable obsession arose within him. If he were to survive this, he absolutely had to meet this cold woman again.

At the edge of consciousness, a sound of footsteps grew louder and closer. Then, a pair of boneless hands lifted him up.

Watching Qiao Qing come and go, Jun Ye Xuan's eyes curved into a pleasant arc. He peacefully fainted into her arms.

Warm breath puffed against her neck, Qiao Qing frowned and pushed his head away with one hand while guiding him forward with the other.

After walking for a while, Qiao Qing stopped again.

After a few moments, five men in black sprang out from all sides and stood before him, each radiating an aura of menace.

Qiao Qing thought with a headache, she really saved a troublesome person.

The black man in the lead, Peng Yue, looked at Qiao Qing and said: “Kid, put the person down, and I’ll spare your life.”

qiao qing heard this, sighed, and cast a meaningful look at Jun Ye Xuan, "Is your target him this time?"

Peng Yue: "It has nothing to do with you."

Joe shook his head. "Once a person is in my hands, you can't do anything about it."

Peng Yue seemed to have heard a joke, and sneered, "There is no one in this world that we want to kill but can't!"

Qiao Qing blew a strand of hair from her forehead, "Coincidentally, there's no one in this world who I want to save but can't!"
