Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ji Ci agree.
"Ji Ci is surprisingly reliable this time! Hehe, don't scold him too much next time."
Shen Mingzhu's unexpected voice always completely destroys the harmonious atmosphere between the two people.
But Ji Ci was used to it, even used to it, and was waiting for Shen Mingzhu's next reaction.
The elegant man at the side almost dropped his glasses. "You two, do you know each other?"
Shen Mingzhu finally decided to get out of Ji Ci's arms, and then she took Ji Ci's arm in a very natural manner.
"Yeah, he's my fiancé."
When saying this, Shen Mingzhu gently pinched Ji Ci's arm, reminding him to cooperate with her in acting.
"In a critical moment, Ji Ci shouldn't mind."
Ji Ci got the hint and raised his hand to tie up her hair that had just fallen due to running.
"Why are you here? Can't bear to leave me?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at Ji Ci with wide eyes, "No way, so cooperative? But isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"
The elegant man turned his head and a villager whispered something in his ear.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. It seemed that this was the only thing he had to do.
The villagers told him that the two girls had actually been with the old man for a long time.
The secret of the village may have been known.
It's even worse since Ji Ci knows them, so it seems like he has no choice but to use force.
We must not let them leave easily!
"Since you two know each other, why don't you follow me? We can't neglect our distinguished guests."
Then one of the villagers hugged the bodyguard following behind Ji Ci and said, "Hey, brother, you just said that your convoy broke down. Why don't you tell me where it is so I can send someone to pick it up?"
"Head of the family?" The bodyguard couldn't make up his mind and could only "disturb" Ji Ci who was reminiscing about the past with Miss Shen.
"Go ahead." Ji Ci said calmly.
"Please!" The elegant man made an invitation gesture with a hypocritical smile on his face.
Ji Ci followed the direction pointed by the elegant man without any doubt, but Shen Mingzhu stood still.
Ji Ci paused and turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"
Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to speak, she noticed that the elegant man was staring at her.
"Forget it. Ji Ci is so confident, he must have some way to protect himself. It shouldn't be that dangerous to be around him."
"Nothing, let's go."
Wen Shuangnian also followed the two of them in silence.
Her thoughts were similar to Shen Mingzhu's. With Ji Ci around, they should both be safe.
However, it is not known whether they overestimated Ji Ci's ability or underestimated the insidiousness of the elegant man.
The three of them walked into a room without any preparation, and the next second, they heard a bang and the door was closed.
Before they could react, the "click" sound of the lock closing made them feel hopeless.
My goodness, this time she wasn't even allowed to resist, she was just locked up like this?
Ji Ci, who didn't know the truth, even knocked on the door.
"What do you mean? You don't want to talk anymore?"
Shen Mingzhu and Wen Shuangnian looked at Ji Ci in disbelief.
"Well, don't you know who they are?"
Ji Ci frowned, and then he realized that these people were so bold that they even dared to lock him up.
However, facing the questioning gazes of Shen Mingzhu and Wen Shuangnian.
Ji Ci turned his head uncomfortably and coughed softly, "I thought they didn't dare."
Shen Mingzhu slapped her forehead suddenly, "Uh, what kind of naive person is this? When he let the bodyguard go so calmly just now, I actually thought he had a backup plan!"
"But, did they forget that I still have my phone?"
Ji Ci suddenly took out a cell phone from his pocket. Wouldn’t it be easy to deal with these people as long as he made a call?
However, Shen Mingzhu crossed her arms and stared at him with a teasing look.
"He said he was naive and innocent? I believe him if he has a signal on his phone in this crappy place!"
Ji Ci disagreed, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
It was just as Shen Mingzhu said, there was no cell phone signal.
The three of them fell into an eerie silence.
Only Wen Shuangnian was squatting in the corner, tinkering with his cell phone.
Ji Ci seemed unable to bear such silence and had to speak up.
"Why are you here?"
"Um, it's a long story."
"Think about it quickly, stupid brain. How can I start so that Ji Ci will think that I am not the same naive person as him!"
After hearing this, Ji Ci understood that he shouldn't have asked more questions.
How they got here must be a tortuous but difficult story to tell.
At this moment, Shen Mingzhu suddenly had an idea.
"I figured it out! Look at the high emotional intelligence chat method I just learned!"
Ji Ci raised his eyebrows. He wanted to know what high EQ response Shen Mingzhu could come up with.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Mingzhu opened her mouth, Ji Ci was in tears and laughed.
Her response was—
"Then why are you here?"
So her secret to high EQ conversation is to throw the question back?
But at least after she said that, Ji Ci was still able to respond.
"Me? I have a charity project that has been shelved for many years and I'm here to investigate."
Shen Mingzhu looked Ji Ci up and down, her eyebrows fluttering.
"What's your taste? Why did you choose the worst place?"
Ji Ci disagreed. She thought that the "bad" Shen Mingzhu mentioned was the backward facilities and equipment.
"Of course, a charity project would choose a mountain village like this! If it develops well, do we still need these?"
Ji Ci's answer made Shen Mingzhu realize instantly that Ji Ci had misunderstood.
