“Ran Muxun!! Even now you still believe in him……cough……cough……”

Si Jinzhi seemed to be somewhat angry, and once again began to cough violently.

This kind of ruse of self-injury1 was still somewhat useful, at least Ran Muxun was no longer so obstinate.

“Si Jinzhi, are you okay? You should quickly go to Dr Huang, he will definitely make you better……”

“Dr Huang? Muxun, even now you are still standing on Si Jinze’s side?! You clearly know that Dr Huang will not call the police……” Si Jinzhi’s voice was somewhat cold.

“Jinzhi…..”

Ran Muxun’s voice carried a hint of contradiction and agony.

“Even if you know me going to bed with Wu Silin was his scheme? Even if you personally watched me almost get killed by him…you still intend to stand on his side?!”

His voice was extremely angry.

Ran Muxun bit her lower lip, falling silent.

But, her body and mind……

Were now already entirely occupied by Si Jinze……

And Si Jinzhi, had long already been set aside by her……

“Jinzhi, I’m begging you, let’s set aside the things of the past……aah!!”

She still hadn’t finished speaking, when Ji Xun yanked her over, and tied her up!

Ji Xun picked up the phone, and said to Si Jinzhi on the other end, “Did you hear that? You can’t instigate her to betray him……”

Ji Xun looked at Ran Muxun mockingly, “This stupid woman, she doesn’t even understand that we might have saved her life, and even tried to save Si Jinze, that psychotic murderer……” 

On the other end, Si Jinzhi no longer coughed, his tone was freezing cold, “If so, just fulfil her wishes, let her be together with that murderer! First bring her back……before we negotiate the terms with Si Jinze, you must never let Si Jinze know where she is!”

Ran Muxun heard this sentence, and widened her eyes, looking at the already hung up phone in disbelief.

Si Jinzhi……

He actually wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Si Jinze!!

The tone of his words, completely didn’t regard her as a person, but as a commodity that could be traded!!

This made Ran Muxun’s heart go cold.

But she couldn’t say anything at all, and could only watch the helicopter speed up as it travelled in an unknown direction……

She tried to speak to Ji Xun, and find out exactly where she currently was, if it had been before, Ji Xun still might have been able to talk to her nicely, but now that he had determined that she could not be used to their advantage, Ji Xun didn’t hesitate to find a piece of clothing to gag her mouth. 

But she could smell the salty scent of the sea breeze, they were flying over the sea!

Ji Xun and Si Jinzhi……

Where exactly did they plan to take her?!

Ran Muxun was originally uncomfortable, the helicopter’s flying was unsteady, and her head was groggy, only once the helicopter had stopped, did she realise that it was already dark outside, lifting her hazy eyes, she could actually see that the sky was filled with stars……

“Get off!”

Ji Xun roughly shoved her down.

Ran Muxun stumbled off the helicopter, and saw Si Jinzhi waiting there……

Only a mere week had passed, Si Jinzhi’s injuries were yet to recover, he could only sit on a wheelchair, his complexion looking noticeably pallid.

Seeing her, a chill flashed through Si Jinzhi’s eyes, “Throw her into the car boot!”

Ran Muxun widened her eyes, and was yanked towards that side of the car by Ji Xun, but then in the next second, with the sound of a “bang”, a loud noise rang out across the stillness of the late night beach, the man grabbing her fell down with a blood-curdling shriek……

Ran Muxun disorderly tumbled to the ground, feeling warm blood sprinkle across her face…

Trembling all over, her eyes were covered with her long dishevelled hair, tousled by the sea breeze, in her blurred vision, she could only make out a familiar silhouette walking down from the helicopter……
