Ning Qiluo remained unusually calm.

Her gaze was fixed on the person in the distance opposite her, and Jiang Yingchi was also looking at her. In the space between their eyes, a thousand words were spoken.

With Jiang Yingchi's permission, the people outside the square surrounded the area, quickly sealing it off to prevent outsiders from getting in.

"Qi Luo".

Su Muyu waved to Ning Qiluo.

Su Jiusheng grabbed Ning Qiluo and pushed her, shoving her in front of Su Muyu.

Ning Qiluo glanced at Su Muyu once, then lowered her eyes, pretending she hadn't seen him.

Su Muyu's gaze lingered on Ning Qiluo's wrists. Her hands were bound with cable ties, and she had probably struggled too much, as a red mark had appeared where the cable ties had been tightly binding her wrists.

He took her hand, then took out the only handkerchief he had on him and tucked it into the tie to prevent his wrist from bleeding from being chafed too badly by the tie.

Seeing all this, Ning Qiluo remained indifferent: "I don't need your pretense."

"When have I ever been hypocritical towards you?" Su Muyu smiled bitterly. "Haven't I always been the one who only loved you? Even if you saw my feelings, you pretended not to understand."

He wasn't trying to express anything in particular by saying those words.

It was just his attitude.

Ning Qiluo's eyes reddened slightly, and when she spoke again, her voice was very low, as if pleading: "What you did was wrong. You are about to become the next president of Y country. You shouldn't have done these things. You will regret it."

"I've done things I regret even more, so what's this?! Besides, there's no right or wrong here. I'm just doing something I have to do. Qi Luo, you understand. I like you a lot, a lot, a lot."

He looked at her with deep affection.

However, what he saw as deep affection was, in Ning Qiluo's eyes, an incurable obsession.

She screamed at him, "You don't actually like me that much. You're just obsessed. You think I should be yours, and that my being with Jiang Yingchi is a betrayal to you. But it's all just your obsession. You've already firmly established in your mind that I'm your possession. You don't like me, you don't!"

You're wrong! I like you!

"Qi Luo, I really like you, you just don't know it," Su Muyu told her hysterically.

Ning Qiluo's eyes were red.

To say that Su Muyu is like a madman is not an insult.

Moreover, he's almost truly gone mad.

Jiang Yingchi strode over here.

He heard Ning Qiluo and Su Muyu's conversation clearly.

"Mr. Su is probably too tired from traveling between China and Y country and has not rested well, which has caused him to hallucinate. The woman in front of you is my wife."

Jiang Yingchi spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

But it was enough for Su Muyu to hear clearly.

When Ning Qiluo was about to speak, Su Jiusheng tore off a piece of tape and stuck it to her mouth. When she made a sound, it was just a series of "mmm" sounds.

Enraged, Ning Qilu stomped on Su Jiusheng's foot and glared at him angrily. Su Jiusheng's face contorted in pain: "You're a hostage, why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you just shut up?"

At this moment, Su Muyu glanced at Su Jiusheng.

Su Jiusheng explained, "She's too noisy and easily makes things worse."

Then he paused, lowered his voice and said, "Wait a moment, I'll cover your escape. There are our people down the mountain. I've already arranged for people to come up and meet us. No need for further words. Let's use Ning Qiluo as a shield so we can leave safely."
