“I’m not sowing discord; everything I’ve said is true. I only came after you because of something your childhood friend said.”


  His words made them freeze. Pei Ge froze because she could not understand why the man would do that, whereas Mu Heng froze because he knew that his childhood friend was jealous!

  Even though he usually looked cold and aloof, he was actually keeping tabs!

  Take this time for example; he had recognized that this woman was Pei Ge, yet he was still pretending not to know; he even went as far as to take an imposter as his girlfriend.

  He really did not know what to say about his friend!

  At the rate he was going, he would never get this woman!

  Ji Ziming was just lucky to have a good friend like him; if it were up to someone else, they would have……

  “I don’t know if you two have bad blood with Young Master Ji, but in any case, things are going to be a little tough for you from now on. I’m so sorry I can’t protec—”


  Mu Heng interjected at this point.

  “Enough, enough! Can you not?” He scoffed impatiently, glaring at Qu Qingyu.

  He then turned to look at this woman.

  “You’d better leave first. Someone will probably come checking the sound of gunshots earlier. Find a place and hide for now.”


  Mu Heng waved at her, hurrying her to leave.

  “I’ve messed up this time and can’t protect you anymore. From here on, please be careful; if not, when you get caught, you must……” He pouted gloomily before laughing. “People will probably leave you alone given your identity, but there are bound to be one or two who can’t read the situation, so you must still be careful.”


  “Alright. Got it.”


  Pei Ge nodded at him before leaving resolutely.

  Only the two men were left in the forest.

  “Hey! What was that? Are you interested in her, too?”


  Mu Heng leaned on the tree trunk lazily, a cold glare flashing across his eyes.

  “What if I am…… What if I’m not?”


  Qu Qingyu smiled as he leaned against the tree next to him.

  “Nothing much, but I’m warning you: She’s already been reserved. You’d better transfer your attention to someone else. I think Miss Mu, who is always around your sister, is a good match for you.”


  “He he! Really? Why do I feel that Young Master Mu is a little interested in her, instead?”
……

  “Hah…… hah…… hah……”


  Pei Ge ran for a while and only stopped when she saw that no one was around.

  She wiped the sweat off her forehead.

  Even though there was not much lighting in the forest, the camo and the suffocating heat were a little hard to take.

  Feeling a little tired, she took out her water bottle. She was just about to take a break and have a sip of water on this spot when she heard a flurry of footsteps.

  “.……” Someone’s here!

  She warily hid behind a big tree.

  It was a good vantage point. Not only was she hidden from sight, she was also able to get a clear view of everything going on around her.

  A man and a woman arrived shortly after she hid herself.

  “Young Master Shen, please have mercy; I’m with Mr. He.”


  “He he! Those who brought partners here basically agreed to let others have fun with them.”


  Pei Ge knitted her brows tightly as she watched this scene.

  She was about to rescue the woman and teach Shen Liangjia a lesson.

  Little did she know that things would take a turn—


  “Then, what do you want to do to me? Please be gentle with me!”


  “Ha ha ha! Don’t worry; I’ll definitely be gentle with you!”


  “.……”


  She was disgusted by what she saw.

  “En…… mm…… ahh……”


  Hearing their panting and moaning, she felt tainted by this shameless couple.

  She was about to shoot the couple without thinking, but just as she placed her finger on the trigger—


  “Don’t move!”


  A cold, deep voice whispered in her ear.

  Without her noticing it, someone had been standing behind her!

  This person had wrapped her tightly in his arms.

  He was speaking to her with his head near her ear.

  The hot breath fanning her ears tickled her and made her body soften.

  Without looking back, she knew exactly who the person was!

  “Mr. Ji, when did you arrive?”


  Why did she not feel anything?

  A foreboding rose in her heart when she recalled that Ji Ziming was from the opposite camp and that he had put her and Mu Heng on the hitlist.

  “Just now; it hasn’t been long.”


  His lips rubbed against her ear seemingly by chance, and she shuddered.

  It was as if electricity were coursing from her ear to her eyes, making her heart beat wildly.

  “Can…… you stand a little far from me?”


  She pursed his lips and struggled to put some space between them, but she was unable to get out of his grasp.

  “No……”


  She felt her blood boil when she heard his reply.

  Just as she moved to use brute force to break free from him, she heard erotic cries.

  “En! Ah! Young Master Shen, you’re so good……”


  She blushed when she heard these lewd sounds.

  Instantly, she stopped struggling. It was as if she were afraid that she would be discovered by the copulating couple.

  What she had not anticipated was Ji Ziming’s reaction……

  “You’re shy? Aren’t…… you the mother of two kids?”
