For some reason, such a firm tone warmed Yu Yuetong's heart.

She couldn't help but look up, her eyes meeting his, and her heart rippled with emotion.

She suddenly realized that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, the belief that they could always stand side by side was what supported her to move forward.

“Yes, we will definitely overcome everything!” She smiled slightly, clenched her fist, as if sensing the approaching storm.

"But this is a war, and we are not fighting alone." Qin Reng's tone turned cold. He turned his head to look out the window, where the crowd seemed to form a complex contrast in his mind.

"Oh? Did you think of someone else?" Yu Yuetong asked curiously, her eyes sparkling.

“Ji Momo is just one link in the chain; there are many other factors I cannot ignore.” Qin Reng’s voice was low, but firm and powerful.

Just then, the quiet of the teahouse was shattered by the sharp screech of brakes outside the window, instantly interrupting their conversation. Outside, the flashing lights of police cars tore through the night.

"Oh no, go check it out quickly!" Yu Yuetong said urgently, a wave of unease washing over her.

The turmoil they had stirred up seemed to be drawing ever closer, and a sense of unease was spreading. The two exchanged a glance, and Qin Reng slowly stood up, his gaze resolute, as if he were ready to face an unknown test.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Just then, Ji Momo's image reappeared in my mind, as if she were ready to cast even more shadows on this game.

However, a sense of unease flashed through Yu Yuetong's heart.

Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng walked out of the teahouse, the urgent sirens of police cars seeming to conceal an unquenchable tension. They exchanged a glance, both understanding that this was probably not an easy moment.

"We have to go and take a look." Yu Yuetong suppressed her unease and looked out the window at the crowd of people, which seemed like an impending storm.

Qin Reng nodded slightly, his gaze still resolute. He walked forward, his steps decisive and unwavering, as if the whole world awaited his guidance. Yu Yuetong followed closely behind, her heart invigorated by his courage, as steadfast as a pine tree in bloom.

Not far away, a large crowd had gathered, all pointing and whispering in the same direction. Yu Yuetong clearly heard someone mention the word "car accident," and her heart tightened; she couldn't ignore the growing anxiety within her.

"Over there!" Yu Yuetong pointed to where the police car was parked, her expression grave. As the two approached, she saw the crowd surrounding the police car and realized that something unusual had happened.

As the two squeezed through the crowd and saw the scene clearly, their hearts tightened. Lying on the ground was a familiar face—Ji Momo. Her expression was one of shock, her hands tightly clutching the spot where she had been hit, looking extremely disheveled.

Yu Yuetong felt a pang of pain in her heart and almost rushed to help her. But when she thought of Ji Momo's sinister face as she lay in ambush, her steps faltered slightly.

"Who is he?" Qin Reng suddenly asked, his voice low but with a hint of tension. He gripped Yu Yuetong's arm, as if trying to pull her away from the situation.

“It’s Ji Momo.” Yu Yuetong said, looking around as she tried to explain, “She… should be alright.”

"Isn't she that woman?" Qin Reng's lips curled slightly, and an unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Uh, don't be like that, Qin Reng." Yu Yuetong glanced at him with slight unease, trying her best to persuade him, but hesitated as soon as she spoke. Because she could sense that Qin Reng's disgust for Ji Momo was becoming increasingly obvious. In the halo he was silently waving, he seemed to be leaning towards a different belief.

"I'm going to take a look," Qin Reng said coldly, ignoring Yu Yuetong's reaction, and walked straight towards Ji Momo.

"Wait!" Yu Yuetong grabbed him, looking warily at the surrounding crowd, and whispered, "At a time like this, perhaps you should be more careful."

"I just want to know if she's alright." Qin Reng frowned slightly, his expression still cold. "In this situation, it's best if I handle it."

He walked past Yu Yuetong and headed straight for Ji Momo. Yu Yuetong's heart sank. Could it be that Ji Momo was really hiding another conspiracy?

At this moment, the police had already lifted Ji Momo onto a stretcher, preparing to take her to the hospital. Just as she was being carried away, Yu Yuetong saw Ji Momo glance at her and Qin Reng, her eyes revealing a complex and incomprehensible emotion.

"Yu Yuetong, what are you doing here?" Her voice was weak yet defiant, and the slight curve of her lips could not hide the sinister glint in her eyes.

Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to respond, but Qin Reng pulled her up and gave her a cold rebuttal: "You're really good at pretending."

Next, the surrounding noise gradually faded, seemingly conveying a warning to her. Yu Yuetong saw Qin Reng's face turn ashen, but then he suddenly regained his composure. For some reason, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in her heart, as if it were hinting at something.

When they got back into the car, the atmosphere was eerily silent. Yu Yuetong gripped the steering wheel tightly, her expression serious, while Qin Reng remained silent, his hands pressed firmly against his knees, as if suppressing some emotion.

"Be careful, Ji Momo might not let this go." Yu Yuetong finally broke the silence, trying to calm herself down.

"I know." Qin Reng's voice was like the cold winter wind, deliberately cold, but his eyes were brewing a different kind of resolute strength.

"We won't just let her get away with this." Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth, as if pushed to an even deeper climax. "She won't let us off the hook, we have to find a way!"

Qin Reng turned to look at her, his eyes flickering slightly, as if noticing the radiant glow on her face, a warmth stirred within him. However, just as their gazes lingered on each other, the roar of tires outside the car shattered the tranquility once more.

"Don't let her continue to be so smug, I swear," Yu Yuetong said in a low voice, as if cheering herself on. At this moment, a glint flashed in Qin Reng's eyes, and his gaze moved slightly forward, as if a raging storm was brewing behind him.

The crimson sunset streamed obliquely through the car window, weaving a picture of an impending upheaval.

Yu Yuetong gripped the steering wheel tightly, the car engine roaring like her anxious mood, intense and tinged with tension. Qin Reng sat in the passenger seat, his brow furrowed even more deeply. Silence filled the car, as if the worries they had temporarily forgotten were resurfacing. Ji Momo's name was like a cruel curse, stirring their emotions.

“You’re always like this.” Yu Yuetong finally broke the silence, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. “Your emotions are written all over your face; you can’t hide them at all.”

"I'm fine," Qin Reng replied coldly, his tone tinged with a faint detachment. His hands were pressed tightly against his knees, as if trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
