[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Huo Jingmo grabbed Ruan Qian'an's hand and said, "Come with me quickly."

Ruan Qian'an was pulled by Huo Jingmo's hand and darted between the two men.

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses pushed up her glasses, avoiding Ruan Qian'an's gaze.

Huo Jingmo was already on his way to find Ruan Qian'an and was pressing her for the location of the exit for the gold-rimmed glasses, so he wanted to get Ruan Qian'an out of this hellish place as soon as possible.

But the moment the two stepped out of the room, people in uniforms and carrying guns surged in from all directions.

They were clearly well-trained, pointing their guns at the two of them in unison.

Huo Jingmo shielded Ruan Qian'an behind him. Ruan Qian'an frowned unhappily at Huo Jingmo blocking her way, but she didn't say anything and obediently stayed behind Huo Jingmo.

Huo Jingmo held the old man hostage, and the old man chuckled and said, "Oh dear, at my age, I can't take it anymore to play this shooting game with you guys."

Huo Jingmo: "Shut up, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Huo Jingmo pressed against the old man and said, "You all get out of my way, or I'll kill him."

The group looked at each other, then all turned to look at the old man.

The old man waved his hand, signaling for someone to make way.

Huo Jingmo said, "Prepare a car for me."

Huo Jingmo led the old man outside, passing by the long-haired woman's room.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Open it and let her out."

The old man grunted, glanced behind him, then stepped forward and opened the door.

The old man simply pressed a switch, and the chains binding the woman loosened.

The woman was hanging on the wall, and when she relaxed like that, she fell. Her head hung low, her fate unknown.

Huo Jingmo coldly glanced at the woman on the ground and said, "Come with me if you don't want to die."

Huo Jingmo certainly didn't want to save this woman out of kindness; he simply had some questions for her.

The chains binding the woman dragged on the ground, their sound amplifying in the silent space.

Led by Huo Jingmo, they stepped out of that door.

They came out from the back of the building.

The exterior of the building was far less advanced than the interior; from the outside, it appeared dilapidated and covered in rust.

The shadows of the trees swayed gently in the sunlight; this place was a remote, sparsely populated suburb.

The trees rustled in the wind, and a car was parked on the path.

Huo Jingmo gestured for the woman to get in the car first, then looked at Ruan Qian'an, who had remained silent, and said, "Follow me."

Ruan Qian'an didn't move, standing there blankly as if she were dumbfounded.

Huo Jingmo frowned, sensing something was wrong, and questioned the old man and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses: "What did you do to her?! How did she become like this?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses also came out, looking shocked as he saw Huo Jingmo and said, "How could we possibly do anything to her?"

Huo Jingmo: "Then why does she look like this?"

The old man said mysteriously, "He's troubled by love."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said, "You can leave, but she can't." He then pointed at Ruan Qian'an.

Ruan Qian'an then spoke up, "I can't go with you, you should go."

Huo Jingmo stared at Ruan Qian'an, trying to read her mind, and sneered, "Do you think that's possible?"

Ruan Qian'an stood opposite Huo Jingmo, who was holding the old man hostage and standing to one side with the woman who had already gotten into the car. Ruan Qian'an stood with the woman in the gold-rimmed glasses.

Huo Jingmo's temples throbbed with anger. "What's wrong with you! What kind of mind-altering drug did they give you?"

The woman with gold-rimmed eyes smiled and said, "Since you disagree, then I won't be polite."

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward and disarmed Huo Jingmo.

Huo Jingmo had always thought he was just a doctor, so he was caught off guard and allowed him to succeed, having his gun taken away.

Huo Jingmo realized what was happening and started fighting with the man in gold-rimmed glasses, saying to Ruan Qian'an as he fought, "Stop fooling around, get in the car quickly."

She didn't even move. Huo Jingmo got anxious and swept his leg over, knocking down the gold-rimmed glasses. He wanted to quickly get to Ruan Qian'an and pull her away.

However, Ruan Qian'an knocked him down with a backhand, and the well-trained men swarmed forward and subdued him.

The long-haired woman tried to escape in her car, but the men shot and blew out her tires, preventing her from leaving.

Huo Jingmo stared at Ruan Qian'an in astonishment, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief at Ruan Qian'an's momentary indifference.

Her eyes questioned what she was thinking.

Ruan Qian'an didn't even glance at him. Huo Jingmo suddenly sprang up, bumped into the person next to him, and snatched his gun.

Huo Jingmo held the gun, pointing it at Ruan Qian'an, his eyes icy cold: "Ruan Qian'an!"

Ruan Qian'an looked at him and smiled: "You can go by yourself, why do you care about me?"

Huo Jingmo closed his eyes and said, "Come here, come to my side."

Ruan Qian'an stood still.

The long-haired woman, who was also being held down, said sarcastically, "This woman doesn't want to go with you, so why bother with her? Now look what's happened, she can't even leave."

Huo Jingmo fired several shots around the long-haired woman, his eyes cold and silent, as if he had shown her her death.

Huo Jingmo looked at Ruan Qian'an and roared, "Come here!"

Ruan Qian'an looked at Huo Jingmo with a strange blue light in her eyes.

She finally reacted and walked towards Huo Jingmo.

As he approached Huo Jingmo, he noticed with his sharp eyes that a gun was pointed at Ruan Qian'an, ready to shoot her.

Just as the man pulled the trigger, Huo Jingmo stepped forward, pulled Ruan Qian'an into his arms, turned around, and protected her in his embrace. Huo Jingmo's tall body firmly shielded Ruan Qian'an.

He shielded her from the gun with his own body.

There was a gunshot.

Huo Jingmo's tall body continued to slide downwards.

Ruan Qian'an suddenly caught Huo Jingmo as he fell, and without even realizing it, her hands tightened around him as she hugged him tightly.

Huo Jingmo laughed and said, "Idiot, what are you doing?"

A tear rolled down Ruan Qian'an's expressionless face, her eyes bloodshot.

Ruan Qian'an's calm voice rang out, "Who gave you permission to fire?"

Danger lurks beneath the calm surface.

She looked straight at the person who fired the shot.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was dumbfounded, cursing under his breath that he had gone too far and was doomed. He thought, "What am I going to do if I die?"

He looked at the old man, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat. The old man swallowed hard and said to him, "Help!"

She caught Huo Jingmo, carried him in her arms like a princess, and led him inside.

Surprisingly, none of these people stopped her; instead, they made way for her with great respect.

The long-haired woman was handcuffed, her hair obscuring her face and making her expression impossible to discern; only her trembling body betrayed her fear. She asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who are you? Who are you really?"

The question remained unanswered; Ruan Qian'an simply carried Huo Jingmo inside quickly.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses scrambled inside, trembling with fear. "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" he thought in despair.
