On Saturday afternoon, Ling Ruoke received a call from Tang Yue.

Tang Yue's voice was hoarse and weak on the phone. He said he had a high fever, and Nuanting Pavilion was closed, so all the staff were out and he had no choice but to contact her.

As friends, Ling Ruoke couldn't possibly ignore it. So she called Scarface to drive over to Nuanting Pavilion.

Scarface was the man with a hideous scar on his face. He was taciturn, expressionless, and had a frightening scar that made him quite intimidating. However, after spending these past few days with him, Ruoke was no longer afraid of him.

When they were halfway there, several cars suddenly appeared from the side and blocked their way.

Whether it was because of his calm nature or because he had seen this kind of thing many times, Scarface calmly told Ling Ruoke to sit down and told her to call Xuan Yuanqi immediately, his tone showing no sign of panic.

Ling Ruoke was indeed startled at first, but she quickly came to her senses. However, before she could even take out her phone, Scarface accelerated forward, driving so fast that she could barely see the screen.

She finally got through on the phone, gave the street name, and Xuan Yuanqi told her not to panic and to listen to Scarface.

Just seconds after she hung up the phone, their car suddenly stopped, and the inertia almost threw Ling Ruoke off the back seat.

The car didn't stop because Scarface stopped it; he was forced to brake. Their car was completely surrounded from all sides.

Scarface turned around, glanced at Ling Ruoke, and ordered, "Don't open the door."

Seeing Ling Ruoke's face turn pale, he paused and added, "The glass is bulletproof; even if struck with an iron bar, it can withstand the impact for a while."

Ling Ruoke was a little stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing his expression, Scarface sighed and put it more bluntly, "As long as the boss sends someone over, we'll be fine."

It turned out they were stalling for time until Xuan Yuanqi sent someone. Ling Ruoke shrank back in her seat, experiencing this kind of gunfire for the first time. She suddenly wondered, Qingfeng must face this kind of situation often; what would he do...?

Scarface ignored her, only watching outside warily. More than a dozen people got out of several cars, each carrying tools, and began furiously pounding on the window glass. In less than fifteen minutes, the glass had cracked.

Ling Ruoke looked at Scarface with a sense of helplessness.

Scarface maintained his composed expression, saying nothing. It was as if even if the sky were to fall, he would remain expressionless.

"Call the boss again." Seeing the situation outside was not good, Scarface turned to look at her.

Ling Ruoke made two "oh" sounds, took out her phone, and dialed a number. But before the call could connect, the front window was smashed, and the car door was quickly opened.

The moment Ling Ruoke was dragged out, she felt something spray on her face, and then she fainted.

...

When Ling Ruoke opened her eyes, she found herself lying in bed in an unfamiliar room. Looking at the sky, it was already evening. She rubbed her temples and slowly sat up, surveying her surroundings.

"woke up."

The sudden voice startled Ling Ruoke. Then, she recognized the voice. "Cang Weiwo!"

Cang Wei heard someone call his name through gritted teeth and chuckled softly. A cigarette dangling from his fingertips, he slowly walked to the bedside. "Baby, shouldn't I be happy? You knew it was me just by my voice."

Ling Ruoke snorted, ignoring him, and jumped out of bed, throwing off the covers. Thankfully, she was still wearing her original clothes. Running to the window, she saw that she was surrounded by mountains; clearly, she was in the countryside. "Where am I?"

“This isn’t where we usually live, you don’t need to know.” Cang Weiwo slowly walked behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

Ling Ruoke slapped his hand away, dodging and taking two steps back. Having witnessed their last encounter, she wasn't as panicked this time. "What exactly do you want?"

Cang Weiwo raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips. "I told you, you'd stay by my side for the rest of your life. That's what I want."

"Impossible!" Ling Ruoke retorted loudly. Qingfeng and Xuanyuan Qi would definitely come to save her!

“I know Huo Qingfeng will definitely come to save you. But can he save you once, or twice? By then, he won’t be able to save himself.”

Ling Ruoke's heart sank, and she asked in a sharp voice, "What do you mean by that?"

Cang Wei slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing out the window, leaving her with only his imposing back view. "He's a soldier. Do you know what soldiers fear most?" He turned around, looking at her calmly.

Ling Ruoke looked at him without saying a word.

"It's a matter of conduct! He stormed into the police station for a woman, and tonight he'll storm my territory again. If his superiors find out about these things, guess what will happen? Will his father, a general, allow him to ruin his career for a woman? And would he be willing to give up his future for you, a divorced woman? If so, you're still so naive."

He concluded calmly.

Ling Ruoke was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Cang Weiwo's words hit the nail on the head.

"If I were to add fuel to the fire, guess what would happen? Huo Qingfeng is indeed a talented individual, and he has a powerful background. But his powerful background is precisely his most fatal flaw. And the reason I brought her back today isn't to take you directly back to City A. I'm merely setting a trap for Huo Qingfeng, then gathering evidence of his disciplinary violations and misconduct to submit to his military. At that point, whether he abandons you or he loses everything, you will return to my side."

Ling Ruoke staggered backward, looking at him as if he were a devil.

Cang Wei slowly approached, then suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. His face slowly drew closer, almost touching her lips. "I told you, you can only stay by my side for the rest of your life. Don't even think about running away."

He lightly pecked her lips, but released her without tasting them deeply. The way he looked at her was like looking at prey already trapped in his snare, knowing it would be skinned and eaten at any moment, yet still struggling in vain!

Ling Ruoke hurriedly took two steps back and wiped her lips haphazardly.

"You...you're trying to scare me, I won't believe it! Qingfeng won't abandon me, he won't! The army isn't something you can control with your nonsense! We're already divorced, there's nothing wrong with him saving his own woman! It's just like him going on a mission to rescue hostages, there's absolutely no issue with his conduct!"

"Not bad, you even know how to go on missions to rescue hostages now. It seems Huo Qingfeng has had a deep influence on you." He said these words with a hint of malice.

The next second, he raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "But who told you we were divorced?"

Ling Ruoke was startled, staring at him in astonishment. "What do you mean by that?"

She clearly remembered that they had both signed divorce papers! Could it be...?
