"What a coincidence, you're hanging here too!"

Down the mountainside.

Two figures hung halfway in mid-air, swaying.

Behind them, the dark night enveloped the two figures in a corner of the stone wall.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Sidu held Ye Xingshu's foot with one hand and the rope above with the other.

Ye Xingshu hung upside down at Si Du's feet, raised her waist and smiled as she waved upwards.

It was as if life and death meant nothing to her.

Or rather, she was not afraid of death at all!

"Knowing that Brother Du is here, I couldn't keep you waiting."

“I never imagined that if you failed to throw it up, you would all die.” Sidu’s tone was dangerous and dark.

Ye Xingshu crossed her arms and smiled at Si Du above her, "Brother Du, didn't you catch me?"

Sidu gripped her ankle tightly and slowly pulled her up.

"Brother Du," Ye Xingshu smiled at him again, "Let go."

Si Du frowned. "Looking for death?"

"Yes, I'm just asking for death."

After saying that, Ye Xingshu kicked Si Du's hand with her other foot.

Sidu didn't loosen his grip; he held on even tighter.

Ye Xingshu's expression was complicated for a moment. "Brother Du, things up there are about to collapse. If we don't let you go, you'll have to commit suicide with me. Could it be that Brother Du is really obsessed with me to the point of madness? Don't do that. I'm insensitive to heartfelt love and can't reciprocate. But if you let me go..."

"Shut up!"

Sidu looked up and saw that although it was some distance away, he could sense that the iron frame above was bent.

Both of them felt the sinking motion.

Just as Ye Xingshu said, if Si Du doesn't let go, both of them will die.

Feeling herself sink a little deeper, Ye Xingshu shook the rope in her hand helplessly. "Does Brother Du think I jumped down without any preparation?"

Si Du saw the rope dangling in Ye Xingshu's hand: "..."

At that moment, he felt like a fool.

Adventurers dart past the small platform and scoop people up from mid-air.

As it turns out, the person who jumped down might actually be safer than the person who jumped up.

The next second, Sidu released his hand without hesitation.

Ye Xingshu swayed through the air from his side like a free fall.

She reappeared from the darkness, and seeing her swinging freely in the air like a monkey gripping the rope, Sidu felt even more that what he had just done was superfluous.

Even without him coming to catch her, Ye Xingshu could save herself.

Without further delay, Sidu quickly climbed up and climbed back to the small platform that extended out onto the cliff.

Looking down from above, the figure was still swaying in the air.

I don't know what I want to do.

Ye Xingshu swayed into a grove of trees growing on the mountainside, then swayed out again, climbing upwards as she went.

I don't know how they did it; their courage is almost frightening.

With the last flick of her wrist, Ye Xingshu had something extra in her hand, but Si Du couldn't see it clearly from the distance.

But when the thing's head was raised high in her hand, his lips twitched.

It's a huge snake!

Ye Xingshu suddenly swayed.

He tossed himself into the air and leaped from below onto the platform on the other side.

With a thud, it landed successfully.

Sidu withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and turned to walk towards the exit.

*

Ye Xingshu grabbed the blood-stained corner of her clothes, which was bitten by the large snake, and said, "Find this guy for me."

After the snake drew blood, it turned and darted towards the direction of the voices.

Ye Xingshu is treating the giant snake like a dog.

She didn't know if it would work or not.

That guy escaped right before her eyes; she had to find him.

As Ye Xingshu walked into the platform, she quietly looked at Han Jialuo, who was calmly directing the rescue, and the NPC logo that had been restored above his head.

The text only mentions that Han Jialuo died in an accident, and she only appears in memories.

and so.

Han Jialuo should have died in this accident?

"Aunt."

"Xiao Shu!"

Han Jialuo turned around and saw Ye Xingshu under the lamplight, and thought he was dreaming.

She remembered that Ye Xingshu rushed downhill.

How did you get here?

"I managed to grab the rope and climbed up with great effort..." Ye Xingshu said with a smile, as if showing off a commendable achievement.

They made no mention of the danger or the fear in their hearts.

The next second, Ye Xingshu froze, and the smile on her face also froze.

Han Jialuo immediately hugged her.

The warm embrace made Ye Xingshu feel both unfamiliar and at a loss.

"You scared me to death," Han Jialuo's voice trembled slightly, his composure completely shattered!

The unfamiliar fear and concern conveyed by Han Jialuo slowly tightened around a nerve in Ye Xingshu's body.

Ye Xingshu's hands hung stiffly at her sides.

Han Jialuo did not notice anything unusual about Ye Xingshu. After letting go, he turned around and quickly called the doctor.

Ye Xingshu had no idea how she ended up sitting in the bright glass room. Dr. Liu was squatting in front of her, treating some small wounds that had healed from major injuries.

Actually, these wounds would disappear completely in a moment, so there was no need to go through all this trouble. But seeing the woman standing in front of her making a phone call while glancing at her, she shut her mouth and obediently treated Dr. Liu's wounds.

The chaos outside gradually subsided.

Those covert operations have failed!

But Han Jialuo's anxiety remained.

The words "Mr. Si asked me to escort President Han downstairs" lingered in my mind. Although I suspected that this might be a conspiracy by Si Du against the family, what if Si Du deliberately did the opposite?

Han Jialuo looked back at Ye Xingshu, her worry growing.

She wasn't quite clear about the conflict between Ye Xingshu and Si Du, but according to the manager, Ye Xingshu had really offended Si Du.

It's hard to guarantee that Sidu won't retaliate with such ruthless methods.

It's not that Han Jialuo is a conspiracy theorist; it's just that there are too many dirty dealings among these powerful families.

If even family members cannot be treated kindly, how much less should ruthless outsiders be viewed?

“Xiao Shu,” Han Jialuo began.

Suddenly, a warm orange light slowly shone through the glass window, falling directly on Ye Xingshu's profile, making her look as if she were coated with a layer of warm, golden light!

Ye Xingshu is portrayed as if he were in a fairyland, making it impossible for people to look away.

Han Jialuo looked up at the warm and beautiful sunrise view to Ye Xingshu's side and smiled, "Today's sunrise is indeed beautiful!"

Ye Xingshu glanced sideways, her eyes reflecting the horizon breaking through the morning mist, the East Red like the dawn!

Even an ink painting wouldn't be enough to describe the breathtaking beauty of this moment.

She had seen more beautiful scenery than what was before her, but never before had she felt such a touch of warmth in it.

"It's beautiful."

*

I couldn't have breakfast with Han Jialuo, but I did get to have lunch.

After a busy morning dealing with the current chaotic situation, Han Jialuo finally came over to have lunch with Ye Xingshu at a restaurant in Jingshan District.

"I'll have someone escort you down the mountain," Han Jialuo said, having finished eating.

"I just arrived, and my aunt is already trying to kick me out?" She has to sneak back after going down the mountain.

Han Jialuo said, "I have some things to take care of and can't be with you."

"I'll keep you company."

"Once things are settled here, your cousin will bring you here to play. Your aunt will make the arrangements for you then."

“Auntie probably doesn’t understand me,” Ye Xingshu said, pulling out a tissue to wipe her mouth. “The more you tell me to leave, the less I’ll leave. If I leave, I’ll have to sneak back. Auntie doesn’t want me to be a thief, does she?”

Han Jialuo: "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't even asked you yet, aren't you still in school? Why are you running around here, skipping class?"

Ye Xingshu: "..."

"Two days," Han Jialuo said ruthlessly. "You must be back at school on Wednesday. Even though I didn't get you good grades, you still need to learn something useful. Won't you be ashamed if people laugh at you for being illiterate and you make a fool of yourself?"

"My face is quite fair, it won't turn red."

"Stop talking nonsense," Han Jialuo slapped her on the head, "It's decided then."

After tidying his clothes, Han Jialuo planned to go meet Sidu, but turned back at the door and said, "Oh, right, send me your class schedule later, and also, send me your tutor's contact information. You can have someone impersonate him, but don't let me catch you red-handed."

Ye Xingshu: "..."

Han Jialuo didn't want to get involved in these matters, but Ye Xingshu's behavior this time made her very suspicious of how the Ye family supervised the child's studies.

No matter how useless your own child is, you can't let them become completely useless.

After she left, Ye Xingshu turned to look at Dr. Liu and exclaimed, "My aunt is really scary!"

"...Young Master Ye, you should really focus on your studies."

Ye Xingshu pointed to herself: "Did you see me studying day and night?"

Dr. Liu exposed her lie: "You haven't studied it."

"There's no need to brag about becoming the top scholar."

Dr. Liu boldly added insult to injury: "You won't pass the exam either."

Ye Xingshu glanced at her: "Dr. Liu, you should switch careers and take up a butcher's knife, it would suit you quite well."

*

A clean, bright, and solemn meeting room.

“Mr. Si,” Han Jialuo said, even though he was exhausted, he still appeared very proper and elegant, showing no signs of having just experienced the chaos of the previous night.

“Since President Han has chosen to confront me face to face, he must have already made up his mind,” Si Du said, sitting calmly opposite him.

Han Jialuo did not let Si Du's words and actions go unpunished: "You have caused such a commotion in my place, and it involves Mr. Si's 'murder' of my life. Not to mention the Zhao family, my Han family must investigate this matter thoroughly."

Si Du looked at Han Jialuo with a cold gaze, "President Han is indeed decisive, but this matter involves the wasteland. Are you sure you want to investigate it thoroughly?"

"Mr. Si means that all the forces in the wasteland have gotten involved?"

Si Du stood up, his eyes calm and composed. "Even the Ye family cannot fully control their own actions, so why does President Han think the Han family can?"

The Han family is far from enough to challenge the power in the wasteland.

Han Jialuo was well aware of her family's strength, so she did not refute Sidu's words.

But Han Jialuo wouldn't give up so easily.

After a few exchanges, Han Jialuo was fairly certain that the other party's actions last night were an attempt to frame Sidu.

Ye Xingshu squatted by the flowerbed, grabbing the snake's head and shaking it vigorously, muttering, "Useless! Calling you is worse than calling a dog. If you can't do it, call someone who can. What are you posting? Get out..."

A shadow loomed over.

Ye Xingshu looked up and laughed: "Brother Du, did you eat shit? Your face is so sour."

Sidu: "..."

"Huh?" Ye Xingshu looked up at the sky in surprise.

Si Du looked up, and the next second he saw Ye Xing Shu narrow her dark eyes, leap up from the ground, rush over him, grab his neck, and slam him heavily to the ground.

Sidu grabbed her and they both fell towards the flowerbed.

The two of them smashed the flower petals, sending them flying everywhere!

They maintained an odd posture, with you pinching my waist and me pinching your neck.

When Han Jialuo came out, he saw this ambiguous scene that made him gasp in shock.

Her face suddenly darkened, and she uttered a harsh, almost cruel, tone: "Xiao Shu!"

The two who were fighting froze at the same time!
