Return to before death

Unfortunately, she disappointed him; there was no panic or wavering as he had expected. "The amulet was left at the hospital; it's mine."

"Will it respond when you call it?" Since this woman's mind is so firm and unyielding, the best approach is to muddy the waters.

Yan Ran withdrew her hand, mimicking his calm demeanor, "If Young Master Sheng doesn't want to return it to me, he can simply pretend he doesn't believe any of the absurd stories I've prepared, right? There's no need to reveal your secret."

"Since Young Master Sheng has spoken, doesn't that mean he's already planning to return it to me?"

"In this world, you have to give to receive. Young Master Sheng sets a price, I counter-offer, it's a fair trade."

They looked up and met each other's eyes. The sparks flew and subsided in an instant. Sheng Xuanling smiled faintly, "If I didn't have this, would I already be dead?"

"Yes." Yan Ran faced him frankly. She knew that people from Sheng Xuanling's background found it hard to trust others, and she needed his trust right now, so she could only let him feel her sincerity.

How is an amulet used?

"I do not know."

"Don't know?" Raising an eyebrow, he gradually approached her. Yan Ran remained calm and composed. "All I know is that I encountered it, read the words on it, and then I traveled through time. I only used it once by accident."

"get off!"

"Young Master Sheng, I didn't lie to you."

"Get out of the car now, immediately." Without waiting for Yan Ran's reply, he unbuckled his seatbelt, strode out of the car, came to Yan Ran's side, opened the car door, pulled her out of the car, grabbed her arm in a half-forceful manner, and walked quickly forward.

He walked very fast, with long strides, and Yan Ran almost had to jog to avoid falling, yet she couldn't understand why he suddenly had this attack.

"Young Master Sheng?"

"Shut up! Keep moving forward!"

boom……

The earth shook violently, and flames filled the sky.

The immense impact came from behind, and Yan Ran felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if something had blocked her, before she fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

After a moment, my vision gradually cleared.

She stared blankly at the car still burning behind her. Was that a bomb?

What kind of enemies has the Sheng family offended, both assassins and bombs?

Or has Sheng Xuanling offended someone extraordinary?

She looked at the man who was still shielding her beneath him. When exactly did he find out there was a bomb in the car?

Or if she had answered something wrong just now, would he have just left her in the car to fend for herself?

"What are you daydreaming about? Get up." Sheng Xuanling pulled Yan Ran up, took out his phone from his suit bag, and dialed a number. "Something's come up here. Send a few people over to take over all the surveillance footage from the parking lot today."

“We should try to find the man who gave us the car keys.” Yan Ran rubbed the injury on her elbow. “There are more than twenty cars in Shengshi Haoting. It’s impossible to put bombs in every car. That would be too much of a project. It’s also impossible to bring in so many bombs without anyone noticing. Nobody knows which car you’re going to use today, so the person who gave you the car keys is the prime suspect.”

"Moreover, when he got out of the car, his trousers were very tight and a bit short, clearly ill-fitting. There was dust on the white edges of his cuffs, which may have been from when he was planting the bomb."

"Since the plan is so detailed, the surveillance footage should be taken care of. It would be best to investigate the surveillance footage of the surrounding area. He might have been wearing makeup when he escaped, but his little finger can't straighten properly, so it's probably fractured and hasn't fully recovered, so it can only be bent. We can use this characteristic to find him."

As Yan Ran treated her wounds, she didn't notice the increasingly deep gaze of the man in front of her. When she looked up after not hearing a reply, the man was already looking at her with a mysterious look.

She frowned in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"You woman..." He strode up to Yan Ran, his imposing aura overwhelming her. Yan Ran felt inexplicably guilty, so he took a step forward and she took a step back, until there was nowhere left to retreat, and she was forced to stand with her back against a mountain peak.

Two strong arms, one on each side, locked her within his control. "You woman... you're really speechless..."

He's excessively calm; I don't know if he's just slow-witted or simply stupid.

Maybe he was just really stupid.

If she wasn't incredibly stupid, how could she have single-handedly saved him from a life-threatening situation?

Why would she follow a man with a notorious womanizing reputation to a desolate mountain wilderness?

What a stupid woman!
