His words were spoken very lightly.
From the day she met this man, he had overturned her views of the world. His appearance in her life had revealed a whole other world to her... But within her, there was another soul, one that was holding her back, binding her, trying to dissuade her. Wen Han, what you see now is only the surface, the tip of the iceberg.
All those things still hidden in the back are not things that you would be able to accept.
Keep far away from him.
Wen Han.<>This is an UNAUTHORIZED copy, taken from hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com
The weight was all of a sudden removed from her eyes. He had pulled down the black cloth that had been covering them.
Her eyes had been closed for too long, and now that they suddenly saw light, she actually could not see anything clearly. Her voice scratchy, she softly asked him, "Is it because of you that they kidnapped us here?"
"Not exactly."<>This is an UNAUTHORIZED copy, taken from hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com
"You are a..." She wanted to put "drug dealer," "arms trafficker," "member of a terrorist organization," into the question...
Yet she also felt these words were too extreme and did not know whether he would answer her.
"I am nothing." The wounds on Cheng Muyun's body were not faked. His half-crouching posture in front of Wen Han looked a little strange due to his leg injury, and there were two obvious bloody streaks by the corner of his eye. "Here in this place is a most vicious group of traffickers. I have been searching for them for a long time. The terrain here where they live is very unusual, and even with my friend here with me, I still may not come out alive. I will have Meng Liangchuan escort you out from here first. Regardless of whether I am dead or alive, if you stay with him, you will have a great chance of survival."
"What about you? You're not going to leave with us?"
Nimbly untying the ropes that bound her, Cheng Muyun moved his hands down her legs, feeling her bones, until he reached her ankles. After confirming that there were no major issues, he pulled her up from the floor with one hand.

Wen Han's presence here was outside of his expectations.
Last night in that alley, he had heard everything.
He had not thought that she would come forward and put herself into the danger. Though he had surmised that she had done so to protect her so-called friend, "Wang Wenhao," he had very soon disregarded this particular piece. Her appearance in this place forced him to lose one person, to have Meng Liangchuan, who originally was supposed to lead the way for him, protect her and escort her safely away from here.
He could sacrifice even his own life for his comrades, his brothers.
Let alone this was his woman.<>Please read this at hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com
When Cheng Muyun made this sort of decision, there basically would be no hesitation. This was as it should be. In his blood, he carried the macho, protective spirit of Chinese men that believed women should be protected. Even if this were only a passing romance, even if this all-out battle that would be fought at a close distance were too fierce and in the end, she could not leave here alive, at the very least, she would die after him, behind him.
