She knew those people had come to arrest her; if it weren't for him, she would have been a corpse long ago.

She always knew that the missions special forces soldiers had to carry out were never simple, which made her even more afraid.

If Ji Muhan leaves again, where will she find him?

"Hanhan, do you really have to go back?" Mo Xiaoqing stared at him stubbornly with her beautiful big eyes.

"My orders are to rescue the hostages as soon as possible, at all costs," Ji Muhan said calmly.

However, no one doubted the truthfulness of his words.

“I don’t care what mission you’re going to carry out, but if Ji Muhan is going back to carry out a mission, count me in too.” Mo Xiaoqing’s gaze was unusually firm, and she said stubbornly and confidently, “You’ve seen it yourself, I have the ability to protect myself, I won’t be a burden to you.”

Ji Muhan glanced coldly at Mo Xiaoqing, whose pretty little face was tilted up.

The little girl's face was slightly red and covered in black ash, perhaps from the fire earlier, making her look more like a cat with a smudged face—both funny and cute.

Perhaps it was because the girl's expression was too serious, but her usually cunning, fox-like eyes were now staring at him with unprecedented focus, as if afraid of missing a single expression from him.

Ji Muhan looked into her eyes, his usually cold voice softened slightly, and he said softly, "Wait for me here."

"No, Ji Muhan, if you insist on going back, I'll go back with you." Mo Xiaoqing looked at him relentlessly, refusing to let go.

Ji Muhan probably has no idea how much she likes him?

She liked him so much that even the water he handed her tasted especially sweet.

She liked him so much that even though she knew he would always forget what she looked like after turning away, she couldn't help but grin when she heard him call her name.

Even knowing that his heart is an unyielding glacier, she still wanted to be like a moth drawn to a flame, relentlessly trying to get closer to him.

So, Ji Muhan, you see, it's not that she's shameless, it's just that in front of him, she wants to be the little sun that can make you laugh and melt the ice in his heart.

Therefore, I don't care what the cost is; I'll gladly accept it.

"Ji Muhan, I don't know what decisions others will make at this time, but I won't let you go back alone, and I will never leave you behind." Mo Xiaoqing looked at him with unusual determination.

She is selfish and incapable of selfless dedication.

In her eyes, those people were just strangers. She wanted Ji Muhan to fall into a desperate situation again to save people she didn't know, and he had almost lost his life before.

However, if this is Ji Muhan's mission that she absolutely must complete, then she will not let him go back alone!

"Mo Xiaoqing." Ji Muhan pressed her temples, her eyes slightly warning, but the little girl's eyes were wide open like copper bells, thinking she was very intimidating, but little did she know that she looked even more like a delicate doll.

He had originally intended to give a lecture, but he completely forgot about it. Looking at the little girl's puffed-out cheeks, he almost imperceptibly curled the corners of his mouth, feeling both helpless and amused.

A soft yet sudden beep caught his attention. He stood up and, without any hesitation, took out a thick, black cell phone from his pocket. Mo Xiaoqing knew it was a professional military phone.

He glanced at Mo Xiaoqing, took a few steps away, and then answered the phone, "How do I contact you using this?"

It was hard to hear what was being said on the other end; one could only guess at the meaning from the intermittent sounds.

Ji Muhan frowned slightly, then calmly said, "I need to hang up immediately. Cell phones are easily tracked. I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Ji Muhan hung up the phone swiftly.

When Mo Xiaoqing saw him hang up the phone, she immediately stopped him, tilted her head back, and stared at him with wide eyes to show her determination.

"Ji Muhan, you can think I'm immature or selfish, it doesn't matter, but I'll follow you wherever you go." Even if it means going to your death, she'll go with you.

"Anyway, in your eyes I'm just a minor, immature and willful, and that's my right too."

She is selfish.

In her view, no one in the world could compare to Ji Muhan's importance.

Seeing that Ji Muhan remained silent, Mo Xiaoqing pressed her advantage and continued.

"Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. I know how to use a gun and I also know some self-defense techniques. If you decide to go back, I can keep watch for you." He changed his previous joking manner and said seriously, "Besides, I might know where the person you are looking for is. When I escaped from there before, I accidentally entered a wooden house and saw a few people being imprisoned."

This is a very mysterious man. Mo Xiaoqing doesn't know why Ji Muhan is here.

But she could tell he was no ordinary person. In this jungle, let alone computers, even cell phones couldn't be used. How could he have appeared here?

And what about the mission he mentioned? She thought she might be getting closer to knowing more about the types of troops he was in…

"You've seen him?" Ji Muhan's eyes flickered.

He didn't deny that the little girl was clever, and sometimes she was more like a cunning little fox.

But she was just a young girl after all, and some things were too cruel for her to experience...

"Hmm." Mo Xiaoqing tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a sweet smile. "Not only have I seen him, but only I can lead you to the person you're looking for. Hanhan, are you sure you don't want to take me?"

“During the mission, I won’t have the energy to take care of others,” Ji Muhan replied casually, shifting her gaze at the opportune moment.

He had long since figured out the girl's personality; she was a spoiled brat, and if he backed down today, she would take advantage of him again.

"It's okay, as long as you give me a gun, I can take care of myself and will never implicate you, how about it?" Mo Xiaoqing bit her lip, unable to help but feel a little sad. It turned out that in his heart, she was still just an insignificant "other person".

Ji Muhan raised an eyebrow, probably somewhat surprised that this seemingly frail girl who had never suffered would fire a gun.

"Can you shoot?" Ji Muhan silently raised an eyebrow and asked her.

"Yes, my third brother took me to the shooting range a few times before." She nodded vigorously, looking at him expectantly.

Who would have thought that after Ji Muhan asked the question, there was no further explanation, and she left without saying another word.

"Ji Muhan." Mo Xiaoqing was anxious as she watched his tall figure walk straight into the depths of the woods.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ji Muhan paused, turned around, and asked indifferently.

Mo Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately grinned, a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes, "Let's go."
