Chapter 124 In the Dark



He pretended to be an ordinary homeless person and appeared in front of Ye Nianzhen, trying to get her attention.

Despite her busy schedule, Yip Nim-jen's eyes always reveal her care for every life.

When she saw Gu Shibing's slightly tired but determined eyes, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

Although Gu Shibing was dressed in a very sloppy manner and his face was dirty, which perfectly played the role of a homeless person, Ye Nianzhen still recognized him immediately.

She knew that Gu Shibing had no memory of the past, but perhaps due to some kind of unseen guidance, he still took the initiative to appear in front of her.

She couldn't hide her excitement. After all, although she and Gu Shibing weren't particularly close, this meant she had found all her companions. She wondered what changes would occur in the world after Gu Shibing's memories were awakened.

She watched Gu Shibing quietly, waiting for his next move.

When Gu Shibing saw Ye Nianzhen stop, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He tried to remain calm and spoke in the most natural tone: "You...you are Lord Ye Nianzhen? I have heard of your deeds for a long time, and it is truly an honor to finally meet you today."

Ye Nianzhen smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of gentleness: "You know me? Judging from your appearance, you seem to have experienced a lot of hardships."

Gu Shibing nodded slightly, pretending to recall, "Yes, I wandered for a long time and experienced countless hardships. But whenever I felt I couldn't go on, I would think of your deeds. It was you who gave me the courage to keep going."

Upon hearing this, Ye Nianzhen couldn't help but smile inwardly.

These words were obviously made up, but in order to keep him calm, she decided to continue acting like this.

Her ultimate goal was to successfully take Gu Shibing away from here, and once she was on her territory, she could proceed with the next steps with peace of mind.

So she reached out and gently patted Gu Shibing's shoulder: "It's already amazing that you survived. If you'd like, you can join my team, and I'll do everything I can to help you."

Gu Shibing was overjoyed; this was the opportunity he had been dreaming of.

He nodded quickly, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Ye Nianzhen! I am willing to follow you and contribute my share to your cause."

Ye Nianzhen wanted to laugh again, but she held it in and just nodded with a faint smile.

Afterwards, she and Gu Shibing finished their remaining tasks and quickly left, returning to Mu Guang's territory, which was relatively close by.

Once inside the building, she gestured for Gu Shibing to follow her, and they went to her room. The door to this room could only be opened with the user's own terminal or the terminal of an authorized person, so Ye Nianzhen could "catch him like a turtle in a jar" after locking the door!

After the door closed, she stopped pretending to be friendly and revealed a dangerous, half-smiling expression as she said to Gu Shibing, "Alright, let's get down to business."

Gu Shibing: "...?!"

This is completely different from what he expected?
