After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

The white noise on a rainy day makes all five senses somewhat dulled.

Mu Liangyue lay motionless on the ground with her entire head covered, lifeless.

A few hours ago, Lu Sijian's phone call made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Actually, you don't need to apologize. I should thank you for coming up with such a stupid move, which made Xiao Ge realize that the person he truly loves is me."

The gentle and elegant Miss Lu, whom I remembered, suddenly became somewhat frightening in that instant.

If she hadn't been familiar with the voice, she would never have mistaken it; she even suspected it was someone impersonating her.

"Xiao Ge was willing to save you because you saved him back then, and he didn't want to owe you anything. But you've already used up that debt of gratitude yesterday, and from now on, whether you live or die, he won't even glance at you."

“I’m different. I just said I wanted to break off the engagement, and he was so scared that he stayed up all night guarding outside my house, neglecting his company.”

"He's more afraid of losing me than you."

"So stop trying to seduce him. I'm not touching you because I know you're nothing but a clown."

Mu Liangyue opened her eyes wide, tears blurring her vision.

She shook her head frantically, her voice trembling as she protested, "I didn't! I really didn't seduce him!"

Others can doubt her however they want, but how can Miss Lu think of her that way too?

Miss Lu is so gentle and kind; she is someone she has always tried to learn from and catch up with.

"Really? I don't believe it." After a pause, the voice on the other end changed, "But I want to eat the latest Black Swan cake."

Mu Liangyue was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lu Sijian complained, "How annoying! It's pouring rain today, and my flight was canceled, so I had to go to Rose Manor instead. But Rose Manor doesn't deliver Black Swan cakes."

Mu Liangyue seemed to understand: "You want me to send the cake over?"

"Yes, remember the cake shouldn't get wet in the rain or collapse, and the ice cream shouldn't melt..."

Mu Liangyue: "But the Black Swan Cake Shop is at least a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Rose Manor, so the ice cream can't possibly not melt..."

"I don't care, I'm going to eat this today." The other end of the phone hung up immediately.

Perhaps because the other party's demands were too unreasonable, the leader of the thugs looked at Mu Liangyue with complicated eyes.

"Has she always bossed you around like this?"

Mu Liangyue didn't know how to answer; it seemed so, but it also seemed not.

Lu Sijian would never have made such a direct request before, but no matter what the other party wanted, she would go to great lengths to bring it to her.

After that, Mu Liangyue was blindfolded and thrown into a corner.

She was not reckless; she knew that being honest was the best way to protect herself at this time.

It doesn't matter if something happens to her, but she can cause trouble for Zhao Ke, so she has to find a way to save herself.

The sound of rain masked some of the noise. Mu Liangyue tentatively moved, and an idea gradually formed in her mind.

She started to untie the ropes binding Zhao Ke, but because she used too much force, she fell to the ground.

"Don't..." Zhao Ke was terrified of being beaten and feared that she would be beaten even more.

But there was no shouting or sound of anyone moving. He gradually realized what was happening, struggled hard, and quickly broke free of the rope.

The two untied the ropes, took off the burlap sacks from their heads, and looked at each other with surprise and delight. Great, no one was there!

Just as Mu Liangyue reached the door, she suddenly heard a soft footstep outside.

Could it be that the criminals have returned? Just as she picked up the rope to put it on, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside.

Mu Liangyue rushed out before she could even throw down the rope.

"Young Master!" She looked at the noble young man who appeared at the door holding a black umbrella with surprise and joy, and tears streamed down her face.

He immediately remembered something and quickly said, "Young Master, tell them to stop! This is Ah Liang! My friend!"

It turned out that the thugs had really left, and the two groups fighting outside were actually people who had come to rescue her.

Lu Lingjun stopped his bodyguards. "Your friend?"

Mu Liangyue nodded: "A Liang is a very good person."

Zhao Ke limped over and looked at A Liang. "I recognize you! You own a bar on Bar Street, don't you?"

"So you're really good at fighting! No wonder you can run a bar over there and it's so successful! It turns out the boss is too good at fighting, so no one dares to cause trouble!"

Ah Liang is tall and strong with rugged features; he has the kind of tough guy look.

When he was silent, he exuded a thuggish air, but when he opened his mouth, it was like a gentle breeze. "Young Master Zhao is a distinguished guest of Nightclub. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The suspicion in Lu Lingjun's eyes dissipated, and he asked, "Where are the people who kidnapped you?"

"Perhaps they've given up." Mu Liangyue's expression darkened as she thought of this.

The kidnappers gave up because they couldn't get the ransom.

Perhaps they even felt some sympathy for her; she remembered the leader's complicated expression after Lu Sijian made those unreasonable demands.

Was it from that point on that the other side decided to let them go?

His kindness and forbearance once again brought him a chance to survive.

"Liangyue, where's your phone?" Zhao Ke found her broken phone.

Mu Liangyue was taken aback for a moment: "It's gone. Never mind, I'll just buy a new one."

That phone was a birthday gift from Lu Lingbo, a brand new iPhone, very expensive. If she sold it, it might bring some comfort to those kidnappers.

This trip wasn't entirely fruitless.

-

Rose Hill Villa.

Lu Lingbai looked at the rain curtain countless times, but the rain showed no sign of letting up, and his heart began to clench.

He thought for a moment, then turned to go upstairs, just as Lu Sijian, who had just finished her rose milk bath, came out.

"Jian, do you really want Liangyue to send over the Black Swan cake?"

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mu Liangyue speak during that phone call; she must be alright.

The kidnapping my sister predicted... probably won't happen, after all, there was a misunderstanding yesterday, the other party just asked her to restore an ancient painting.

But a new problem arises: isn't it putting Liangyue in a difficult position to deliver the cake?

Wang Ma: "How could that be? Miss would never deliberately make things difficult for others."

Lu Sijian looked completely innocent: "I was just joking, I was just checking to make sure she was alright."

"Oh, I see," Lu Lingbai breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right, my sister has never asked Mu Liangyue to do anything."

That's precisely why, once she speaks, Mu Liangyue will single-mindedly carry it out.

As darkness fell outside, the manor's butler went off duty and left, leaving only the group of people behind.

This is a scenic area, and the Rose Manor is a newly popular tourist attraction, attracting many visitors during the day.

There would be no one around on such a rainy day, and it would be even quieter after dark, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Legend has it that if young couples stay overnight at the Rose Manor, they will receive divine blessings and their relationship will become more faithful.

On Lu Sijian's eighteenth birthday, Lou Xiao invited his classmates to throw her a party at Rose Manor.

Lu Lingbai couldn't help but overthink the true meaning behind his sister's words.

"Never mind, I'll just wait for Liangyue in the living room," Lu Lingbai said.

[You're still not smart enough. Some people, for example, would have already been unable to resist secretly going to pick them up, right?]

Sneaking someone up? Lu Lingbai realized, right, where's my brother?

It's been an hour, and I still haven't seen my younger brother.
