Outside the Song family's wall, a figure climbed a ladder, intending to use it to climb over.

It looked like it was about to reach the top.

"What are you doing?"

A sound came, and Meng Sangsang slipped and fell down.

"ah!"

She closed her eyes and waited for the pain, but it didn't come. Instead, she fell into someone's arms.

She opened one eye and peeked out, catching a glimpse of that familiar yet repulsive face.

What are you doing here?!

Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and said with a wicked grin, "If you can be here, why can't I? It's not like you opened this road."

"Put me down!"

Are you sure?

"Wait!" Realizing he was about to let go of her, she quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Put me down slowly, don't fall."

Qin Xuan chuckled and placed her on the ground.

After Meng Sangsang stopped, she clapped her hands and asked, "You didn't come here to sneak into the Song family's place at night, did you? If you're here to rescue A-Li, then I'll thank you. I can handle things here by myself, so you should leave now."

"With your small frame, you'd probably be arrested as a thief before you even got any information inside."

"Who do you think you are, Qin?"

"Let's go, don't waste time here, Su Li isn't inside."

Qin Xuan grabbed her hand and tried to leave.

She shook him off and said, "How will we know if we don't go in and see? Su Li has been missing for so long, and none of you are worried. I can't wait any longer; I have to go and see."

"How do you know we're not worried? If Su Li were here, A Ye would have rescued her long ago. Recently, A Ye even went abroad himself for Su Li. Let's wait and see. He'll let us know if he has any news."

"Really?"

Why would I lie to you?

Qin Xuan pulled her over and softened his tone, "Don't worry about it. It's not safe here. Let's go."

A flashlight beam appeared ahead and shone towards them.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

Meng Sangsang frowned. "Then what should we do?"

"Come closer, and I'll tell you what to do."

"What?" Meng Sangsang actually leaned closer.

Qin Xuan stared at her fair and delicate face, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed hard.

"You run first."

"ah?"

"What 'ah'? Run first." Qin Xuan pushed her away.

Seeing that there were quite a few people, at least seven or eight, Meng Sangsang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you hold them off, I'm leaving now."

Then they disappeared in a flash.

Qin Xuan was speechless. "I told you to run, and you actually did."

The Song family bodyguards had already surrounded them—

After running for a while, Meng Sangsang stopped and leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

She looked back and saw that Qin Xuan hadn't followed.

"This guy's behavior isn't great, but he has a good heart. Is it really okay for me to just abandon him like this?"

"Never mind, I don't owe him any favors."

Meng Sangsang thought for a moment, then ran over.

"Ah, I'm here! Let him go!"

When she yelled for Zha Zha to rush back, she saw that only Qin Xuan was standing there.

She was running so fast she almost crashed into the wall in front of her, and Qin Xuan kindly pulled her back.

She fell into his arms, looked up and asked breathlessly, "How are you? You weren't bullied, were you?"

"What a joke, who would dare to touch me?"

"Phew, it's good that you're alright."

"You're quite loyal, aren't you?" He mischievously ruffled her hair, turning her neatly styled hair into a mess.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go."
