Ye Qingliu smiled and asked, "Congratulations, which university are you planning to apply to now?"

"Kyo City University."

"Congratulations, Jingshi University is very good." Ye Qingliu gave his sincere blessing.

"Thank you. Where are you going? Am I disturbing you?" Zhuang Qingrou smiled kindly.

"Not really. We just wanted to take a walk in the suburbs."

Zhuang Qingrou's eyes flickered. "Oh, I wonder if we can come together? I'm new here."

Gu Chen and Ye Qingliu exchanged a glance, and Gu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I'm happy to have two beautiful women walking with me."

Zhuang Qingrou was surprised, "So you two aren't?"

Ye Qingliu nodded, "We are just friends."

Gu Chen also agreed with a smile.

The three of them took a car to the outskirts of Beijing and were just in time to see the sunset.

Zhuang Qingrou looked at the sunset and exclaimed, "How beautiful!"

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "We heard that you can see the sunset here, so we wanted to come here to get some fresh air."

Zhuang Qingrou noticed that there were few people here, and her eyes flickered. "But there doesn't seem to be many people here. Is it dangerous?"

Gu Chen said: "Probably not."

Zhuang Qingrou said softly, "I hope so."

"Are you scared?" Gu Chen asked with raised eyebrows.

"I..." Zhuang Qingrou seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingliu asked.

Zhuang Qingrou shook her head. "Actually, it's nothing. I was just saying it casually."

The three continued walking aimlessly.

After a long time, they came to a small forest. The sky in the distance had completely darkened, and the sunset dyed half the sky red.

Moreover, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

Zhuang Qingrou suddenly stopped and nervously grabbed Gu Chen's arm, "Look ahead, is there... something?!"

She pointed forward, her face pale.

"Ah--!" Zhuang Qingrou screamed, let go of Gu Chen's arm, and stepped back.

Gu Chen was startled and quickly grabbed her wrist, "Don't move."

Zhuang Qingrou still struggled, "I'm so scared, let me go! Don't touch me!"

"Don't get excited yet." Gu Chen comforted her, "Calm down."

"No, I'm too scared! Let's go back! Go! Go!" Zhuang Qingrou pushed Gu Chen hard, "Get out of the way! I'm so scared!"

"Don't move. I promise you'll be absolutely safe! Trust me, okay?"

Ye Qingliu seemed to be thinking about something. Why did Zhuang Qingrou seem really scared?

She looked at Gu Chen and asked with her eyes, "What's going on?"

Gu Chen shook his head at her and motioned her to wait.

"It's so annoying. Don't stop me!" Zhuang Qingrou suddenly said fiercely.

She seemed suddenly no longer afraid.

Gu Chen and Ye Qingliu were both stunned because they found that they could not move.

"I was originally planning to let you go today, but I never thought you would force me to do it! Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Zhuang Qingrou had a gloomy face, a ferocious expression, bloodshot eyes, and a cruel and vicious sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Ye Qingliu and Gu Chen were extremely shocked!

Could it be that... Zhuang Qingrou is actually the mastermind behind the attack!

Fear suddenly filled their hearts.

"Although I don't know what tricks you are playing, my system actually sounded an alarm just now. I must kill you immediately, otherwise you will destroy everything I have!"

Zhuang Qingrou finished speaking and was about to attack them.

Suddenly a jade pendant flew out and hit Zhuang Qingrou in the face.

Zhuang Qingrou started screaming again, "Ah! What is this! That's it!"

Then, several stones shot out from the depths of the forest.

Zhuang Qingrou was unable to dodge and was knocked unconscious instantly.

Gu Chen and Ye Qingliu also regained their freedom and moved their hands and feet.

At this moment, a series of footsteps were heard around.

It was Yu Li and Jin Mo, they had been lying in ambush here for a long time.

"Are you all right?"

Yu Li asked worriedly.

Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Fortunately you made preparations in advance, we almost fell into the hands of that woman!"

He briefly recounted the incident, and Jin Mo frowned and said, "It seems it really is her."

Ye Qingliu nodded, "Yeah, she seemed to have been stimulated by something and became mentally disturbed."

Yu Li squatted down and saw the jade pendant stuck to Zhuang Qingrou's face, and it seemed like it couldn't be taken off.

But she reached out and took it down. "It must be because of this jade pendant. I don't know why it flew out by itself."

"Let's tie her up first. She suddenly froze both of us just now. Luckily I didn't run into her at the time, otherwise I would have been killed instantly."

Gu Chen said with fear.

Yu Li nodded and took out the iron chain, "Don't worry, I understand."

Ye Qingliu looked at the iron chain and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is too generous."

"Of course we should be more cautious about such dangerous elements."

Although Gu Chen was curious about where her chain came from, he changed his mind and thought that Yu Li might also have a system.

Jin Mo tied up Zhuang Qingrou with an iron chain.

Then he took a basin of water and poured it on her to wake her up.

Zhuang Qingrou opened her eyes and found herself tied up with ropes. She was furious and cried, "Let me go!"

Jin Mo smiled faintly, "You'd better not move now."

"You actually set a trap for me!" Zhuang Qingrou asked angrily.

Yu Li laughed and said, "You dare to do those things, why do you blame us for setting a trap?"

Zhuang Qingrou became even angrier, "You'd better let me go, otherwise..."

Suddenly her expression changed. "What did you do to me? Why is my system gone?"

Yu Li and the others were also surprised when they heard this. "You said your system is missing?"

"Yeah! I can't contact it at all! It must be you who did it, right!" Zhuang Qingrou gritted her teeth.

Gu Chen and Ye Qingliu looked bewildered. Gu Chen said cautiously, "She must be lying. She wants us to let our guard down."

Yu Li thought of the jade pendant just now. Could it be that the jade pendant took away Zhuang Qingrou's system?

Yu Li looked at Jin Mo. Jin Mo nodded and clapped his hands. Someone came out.

It turned out that Yu Li and Jin Mo were not the only ones who came, they also brought people with them just in case.

"Take her away first."

Zhuang Qingrou's eyes widened. "What are you going to do?!"

"Don't be impatient, you will know when the time comes." Jin Mo smiled faintly.

They took Zhuang Qingrou away.

After Zhuang Qingrou disappeared into the bushes, Ye Qingliu asked in a low voice, "What happened? Is her system really gone?"

Yu Li took out the jade pendant and found that the patterns on it seemed to have changed.

"Liuliu, do you want to leave the system?" Yu Li thought it would be faster to experiment directly.

Ye Qingliu also saw the jade pendant she was holding, and thought that Zhuang Qingrou seemed to have been hit by this jade pendant just now.

She quickly understood, “Of course, this system is just a burden to me.”
