“Did you bring me here just to kill me and silence me?”

We were on a mountain, deserted, so if he killed her, he could easily dispose of her body and leave no trace behind.

Seeing through all her thoughts, Ruan Tianling was both furious and amused.

He gritted his teeth, leaned in closer to her, and said ominously, “You’re not wrong in pointing that out this is an ideal place for a murder!”

“You…”

“But, to kill you, I won’t need to get my hands dirty!”

Jian Yufei’s eyes widened in surprise before understanding the implied meaning behind his words. He meant that he had not brought her here with the intention of killing her and she was overthinking it.

Yes, considering his status, if he wanted to get rid of someone, would he really need to do it personally?

Jian Yufei felt embarrassed by her earlier thoughts.

She tried to shake off Ruan Tianling’s hand, but the man refused to let her go.

With frustration clearly visible in her eyes, she demanded, “Let go of me, I want to get out of the car!”

Ruan Tianling looked at her intently, pulled her closer a bit, and asked sternly, “Jian Yufei, tell me, why do you think I have the intention to kill you? Are you assuming that I’m so ruthless?”

Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered as she defended herself, “Anyone would overthink if they’re unexpectedly taken to a deserted mountain, wouldn’t they think you brought them here to enjoy the scenery?”

“Okay, let’s say you’re right. Then could you explain why you think I would dare to take your life? Have I ever hurt you before?”

“I…” Jian Yufei didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t possibly tell him about her reincarnation experience.

“Speak up, what did you mean by your earlier words?” Ruan Tianling narrowed his sharp eyes, pressing her to explain further.

“You still remember the incident with Bi Shichang, don’t you!” Jian Yufei angrily broke free from his grip, her eyes filled with resentment.

Ruan Tianling was taken aback for a moment as she shoved open the car door and ran down the hill.

Regardless of his reason for bringing her up the mountain, she did not want to stay with him. Being with him always put her at risk.

Unfortunately, she did not get far before he caught her. His strong arm encircled her waist from behind, preventing her from continuing to run.

“Let me go!” Jian Yufei struggled fiercely. The man wrapped her other arm around her chest, effectively immobilizing her flailing hands.

He picked her up and turned to walk back.

“Damn it, I told you to let me go!” Her hands were immobilized; she kicked ferociously with her legs, but her attempts were futile against Ruan Tianling.

Craddling her light body effortlessly, he walked past the car, turned a corner, and instantly a two-story white mansion appeared before their eyes.

The mansion had a large front garden, surrounded by a high metal fence. The fence was covered with roses of various colors.

Red, pink, white, and even blue.

Jian Yufei was astounded by the sight before her — she forgot to resist. Ruan Tianling approached the metal gate, input a code into the electronic lock, the gate opened automatically.

He led her in, the gate closed automatically behind them.

“Where is this place?” She asked him curiously. Ruan Tianling remained silent, merely leading her into the mansion, up the stairs, and into a room on the second floor.

Who would’ve guessed that the mansion held such secrets within?

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that spanned an entire wall was a towering mountain, lush green trees, and even a waterfall cascading from the top of the mountain.
