The college student who took over the job in the original story came from a very poor family and is currently living in an urban village. She contacted people in the neighborhood and that's how she found this place.
However, it seems we've been targeted...
Nguyen Thanh An narrowed his leaden-gray eyes and looked behind him without making a sound, only to catch a fleeting glimpse of a shadow.
037: [Report, someone is following us!]
"You should have been one second faster, little system."
Deeply affected, 037 silently shut his mouth.
As she walked down the alley, the direction became increasingly remote, and the ground grew muddier and dirtier. The footsteps following her drew ever closer, so Ruan Qing'an lowered her eyes and quickened her pace. A moment later, she started jogging.
The footsteps behind them were no longer concealed at all.
The leader was a man with tattooed arms, and several thugs followed him. They seemed surprised to be discovered by Ruan Qing'an, and you could faintly hear them cursing.
The roads in the old town were difficult to navigate, and Ruan Qing'an was unfamiliar with them. He could only rely on rough judgment to escape. The tattooed man behind him spat angrily, "Damn it, hurry up and chase after him!"
"This is such a hassle..."
Ruan Qingan grew increasingly impatient.
When the tattooed man and his thugs caught up, they had reached the end of the alley. A wall blocked their last escape route, clearly a dead end, and the delicate young lady was driven to the brink of despair.
Seeing that she still didn't run or hide, the tattooed man looked at Ruan Qing'an with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "That woman paid us to beat someone up, I didn't expect her to be such a beautiful one."
"Come on, play with me for a bit, and I won't hit you."
He burst into laughter along with the thugs behind him, but Ruan Qing'an's eyes remained unmoved as he coldly watched her, her hands behind her back, a glint of cold light appearing in them.
The tattooed man paid no attention until he stepped forward—accompanied by a sharp gust of wind and the sound of air being torn apart, he froze on the spot, and all sound stopped abruptly.
The blade flashed coldly, and the sharp Tang sword was placed directly against the tattooed man's neck, only a finger's width away, and Ruan Qing'an's hand holding the sword did not tremble in the slightest.
The tattooed man had no time to think about where the Tang sword came from; he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura.
Nguyen Thanh An finally smiled.
Didn't you want me to play with you?
Upon hearing this, the tattooed man's legs trembled uncontrollably, and the thugs behind him were even more at a loss. In the next moment, Ruan Qing'an's hand moved even faster, and the back of the knife struck the back of his neck.
A heavy force struck, and the tattooed man fell to the ground, without Ruan Qingan even glancing back.
037: [What I'm saying is, we can't kill people...]
"Just trying to scare them."
This is the weapon that has accompanied her through countless dimensions and missions; Nguyen Thanh An calls it "Bright Moon."
Before 037 could speak, Ruan Qingan looked at the remaining people.
The thugs had never seen anything like this before. Their legs went weak and they sat down on the ground, instinctively crawling backward. But the next moment—the Tang sword grazed the man's face and disappeared into the ground.
"Please, I...we were wrong!"
"Who's behind you?"
The thug thought for a moment and said, "Ruan Tiantian, her name is Ruan Tiantian! She paid us to buy your whereabouts. We only wanted to lie to her, but we actually saw you in the old town, so she said she was going to beat you up."
Hearing this, Ruan Qingan was not surprised: "She really is 'clever' to use her last bargaining chip to get revenge on me."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Ruan Qing'an finally stood up, his Tang sword disappearing from his hand. But at that moment, noisy footsteps rapidly approached, accompanied by anxious shouts.
"Chairman, please slow down. Someone said they saw Miss Ruan here. She'll be alright, don't worry—"
Luo Yuming and his men found them?!
Ruan Qing'an was slightly stunned. Looking at the tattooed man and the thugs lying on the ground in a circle, he suddenly felt a terrible headache.
When Luo Yuming arrived, he was breathing heavily, his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat, but he didn't care about himself at all, his gaze fixed on the corner against the wall.
The pampered young lady was now hugging herself tightly in a corner, burying her head between her knees, her slender and petite body trembling uncontrollably, as if she were terrified.
In front of her, several thugs lay sprawled out.
Just looking at Ruan Qing'an's appearance made Luo Yuming's heart ache terribly. His secretary followed behind him: "Deal with them. As for Ruan Tiantian, who escaped before the arrest—"
"Leave her a 'gift' before sending her back to the detention center."
Hearing the sinister tone in those words, the secretary fell silent.
The unconscious thug was dragged away, and Luo Yuming carefully approached Ruan Qing'an, as if afraid of disturbing her: "Miss, I've come to pick you up."
"I don't want you, go away..."
She spoke softly, her voice hoarse. Just as Luo Yuming was about to step forward and hug her, Ruan Qing'an suddenly raised her head, biting her lower lip as she looked at him: "I know I shouldn't have run off, but can't you give me a little more time?"
"What time?"
Luo Yuming was slightly taken aback. Looking at her eyes, which were filled with tears, he belatedly realized that this was the third time he had seen his young lady cry.
He could give her everything, but he couldn't bear to see her cry.
Luo Yuming reached out to wipe away her tears, but unexpectedly, Ruan Qing'an cried even harder the next moment. She looked at him with a hint of fear in her eyes, and her voice was soft and delicate.
“I know you want to get revenge on me… but, but, can you wait until I’ve settled things with the Han family before you take me back? The Han family has no conflict with you.”
She cried pitifully, her voice choked with sobs: "I bullied you before, and I didn't even know my dad made me deal with it, to deal with your mother's affairs... It's only right that you report it and get revenge on me."
Luo Yuming was completely stunned, and seeing his silence, Ruan Qing'an cried even louder. Her soft, sweet voice was both heartbreaking and made people want to tease her.
"But could you, could you please stop bullying me like this? I don't want to be, to be treated like a plaything."
"Young lady, I am your plaything."
Luo Yuming pressed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
But Ruan Qing'an was so pitiful that half of her body went limp, and she unconsciously leaned into his arms, her little hands clutching his collar, still complaining pitifully, "A scholar, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated! You can kill me or torture me, but how can you—"
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Yuming lowered his head and bit her lip. Just before the young lady could continue her rambling, he covered her mouth with his hand.
Luo Yuming sighed softly: "Miss Ruan Qing'an, I'm not a fool. I will investigate my mother's matter. The culprit has already received his retribution, and I won't hold a grudge."
"Not to mention, I don't care about the fact that you bullied me."
Half of her delicate face was obscured, but Ruan Qing'an's exposed eyes looked at him, a few tears still clinging to her eyelashes. She blinked, seemingly in disbelief.
Feeling her warm breath on his palm, Luo Yuming's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his eyes surged with lust: "Even now, I can still remember the way you looked at me with cold eyes when you laughed at me."
"...You're not a good person, Miss."
Luo Yuming chuckled softly, the biting sarcasm directed at himself. In Ruan Qing'an's stunned gaze, he finally released her hand, and instead sealed her lips with a kiss that was almost like that of a wild beast, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
In the brief moments between their intertwined lips, his voice was hoarse, and his dark eyes finally revealed naked desire: "Yes..."
"I know it all too well, and I accept it willingly."
