"Hold the gun steady, but don't grip it too tightly, otherwise it will affect your shooting accuracy." The instructor adjusted Zuo You's posture as he spoke, and continued:

"When aiming, look at the target through the sight, keep your breathing steady, and gently pull the trigger the moment you exhale..."

Zuo You stared intently at the target in front of her, slowly adjusting her breathing as instructed by her coach.

After a crisp gunshot, the bullet struck the edge of the target.

Just as Zuo You put down her gun and was about to cheer, she saw Shen Yan next to her hit the bullseye on his first shot, and the coach next to her praised him for his talent.

"Oh my god, Shen Yan, you're amazing! You're a sharpshooter!" Zuo You's eyes were practically overflowing with admiration. She had always thought that men who handled guns were incredibly cool.

Shen Yan pursed his lips and fired another shot, which hit the bullseye again.

Just as Zuo You was about to run over to him and praise him, she saw Yi Qingyue fire two shots in a row, both hitting the bullseye.

"What's so great about it? Anyone can do it." Yi Qingyue glanced coldly at Shen Yan and smiled contemptuously.

"Ahhh! Yueyue's wife is so handsome~" Zuo You was stunned for two seconds before rushing over excitedly to kiss Yi Qingyue, her eyes wide with excitement.

Yi Qingyue was so overwhelmed by Zuo You's enthusiasm that she took a half step back. Seeing the excited expression on Zuo You's face, the corners of her mouth also turned up slightly.

"Not bad." Shen Yubai nodded appreciatively. He had taught Yi Qingyue marksmanship, and it was something that non-professionals couldn't match.

Zuo You and Yi Qingyue then enjoyed themselves for almost the entire time, only returning to their room to rest when they were completely exhausted.

Late at night, Zuo You suddenly opened her eyes, changed into the sportswear she had prepared, and quietly slipped out.

Several figures were moving in the darkness, and Zuo You quietly followed them.

The other party was clearly well-prepared, carefully avoiding all surveillance cameras and alarms, and threw the sacks they were carrying into the van.

According to the plot, Shen Yan was targeted by the Shen family's rivals because of his striking resemblance to the head of the Shen family. He was taken to a deserted island to fend for himself. The island was full of wild animals and poisonous insects, and Shen Yan survived many dangerous situations thanks to his strong willpower. He even had half of his finger bitten off by a tiger.

After leaving the island, Shen Yan's mind became twisted, and he spared no effort to take revenge on the murderer who sent him to the island.

Zuo You didn't want to interfere with the main plot, but she planned to rescue Shen Yan ahead of time and save his finger.

Watching the car drive away, Zuo You prepared to go back and gather people to go to the island.

She suddenly heard a strange noise, and just as she was about to turn around, she felt a pain in her neck and immediately fell to the ground.

......

When Zuo You woke up, it was already broad daylight, and she was resting her head on Shen Yan's lap.

"Awake?" Shen Yan moved his legs, his voice a little hoarse.

"Have we been kidnapped?" Zuo You asked uncertainly.

Her mind was in a mess right now, but the only thing she was sure of was that the people who kidnapped them weren't the same group from the original story.

“We’ve crossed the border.” Shen Yan said seriously. “I overheard part of their plan in the car. This area is chaotic, full of fugitives from all over the country. The people who kidnapped us want us to fend for ourselves.”

"What?!" Zuo You exclaimed in surprise. The plot had been completely changed. Could they get back safely?

Her surprise and panic seemed genuine. Shen Yan gave a wry smile. So, had she included him in her scheme as well?

"Can we escape?" Zuo You was really panicked, and at the same time called out to Brother Qiang in her mind.

However, Qiang only managed to say "Be careful of Su—" before disappearing without a trace, no matter how Zuo You called out to him.

"We can give it a try." After saying this, Shen Yan tried to stand up, but the excessive drug was still taking effect, and he almost fell to the ground after only a few steps.

Zuo You quickly helped him up and then squatted down in front of him. "The situation is dangerous now. We need to find a secluded place to hide. I'll carry you on my back."

With her small body cushioning his weight, Shen Yan felt a sudden lightness in his body; she had actually carried him on her back.

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After Zuo You took two unsteady steps, he reached out and put his arm around her neck.

Fortunately, the two soon found a cave, and Zuo You staggered in and helped Shen Yan inside to find a place to sit down.

"Shen Yan, are you hungry?" Zuo You swallowed hard and asked Shen Yan.

Shen Yan shook his head and stared at Zuo You.

It seems he can no longer hear Zuo You's inner thoughts.

He hasn't heard a single word from her since she woke up.

"Let me massage your legs for you. The sooner you get better, the better our chances of survival will be." Zuo You said, and began to massage Shen Yan's legs.

Neither of them spoke in the small space; for a moment, the silence was so profound that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

Zuo You's heartbeat grew louder and louder, and Shen Yan's eyes flickered slightly; she was afraid.

Gunshots occasionally rang out outside. Zuo You rubbed her eyes, then finally couldn't hold back her tears. "Shen Yan, no matter what happens, please don't leave me. I'm so scared..."

The vague unease in her heart and the abnormality of the system threw her into a panic. She hadn't forgotten what the system had said: if she died in the small world, not only would she be unable to return home, but the original owner would also lose the chance to be reborn.

"Zuo You," Shen Yan suddenly pressed her hand down and said seriously, "I promise, as long as I live, I will not let you die. Believe me."

The man's voice was low, but it was a very serious promise.

Zuo You was on edge for several hours until Shen Yan was able to move freely, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yan tied his shoelaces and told Zuo You, "You wait here, I'll go out and find something to eat."

"No, I want to go with you." Zuo You hurriedly shook her head, tugging at his clothes.

Shen Yan didn't say anything, but simply tightened her slightly loose shoelaces and said stiffly, "Stay close to me."

Zuo You hurriedly followed, only to realize belatedly that he seemed angry.

But why is he angry?

This was a very primitive forest, and the two of them almost got stuck in the swamp.

However, Zuo You pursed her lips and picked up a half-extinguished cigarette butt.

Shen Yan took it and looked at it, saying, "Judging from the color, it should have been around for a while."

"Shh!" He suddenly pulled Zuo You into the bushes nearby and mouthed the words to her silently.

Zuo You nodded, moved closer to him, and cautiously covered her mouth with her hand, only revealing her eyes to observe the outside world.

A short while later, a series of scattered footsteps sounded outside, and several men with accents emerged from the jungle.

Shen Yan pressed Zuo You's head closer to his chest, his eyes fixed on the front.

A man carrying a gun lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring with satisfaction before saying, "The guy sent by the higher-ups always wears a tattered mask. Who knows who he is?"

The person in the group casually tossed out a cigarette butt and stomped it out, then sneered, "Is that even a question? He's either the boss's favorite son or his illegitimate son. What can you do to him even if you can't stand him?"

"It would be better to curry favor with him while he's still new; maybe he'll give you a hand in the future, and you can leave this wretched place sooner."

"Go ahead and try to please me, I have plans tonight, hahaha!"

"Where did you get this woman? You dare to keep her all to yourself? Come on, let's go together!"

......

Zuo You glanced at the bird wing-like tattoos on the back of their necks and a flash of inspiration struck her. "Shen Yan, I think I have a solution!"
