Chapter 232

One of the girls noticed Nan Zhi looking so distraught like something bad happened to her, and asked in confusion, “Sister Zhi, you’re really powerful to be able to convince young master Mu to leave…. But, did he threaten you or something?”

That fierce and bloodthirsty man was not gentlemanly at all. It was a pity that the few of them still thought that he was like a prince from a comic.

Reality was definitely cruel.

Nan Zhi was not in the mood to care about her colleagues’ wild imaginations. She turned around again and ran swiftly out of the hostel.

Xia Xi finally caught up to Nan Zhi and hurriedly grabbed onto her when she noticed that Nan Zhi was about to rush out into the darkness. “Sister Zhi, what are you doing? It’s starting to drizzle. The mountain paths are really dark and there are many turns. It’s not safe for you to go out alone. You should call young master Mu if you’re looking for him…”

Right, I should call him.

Nan Zhi took out her phone and unblocked Mu Sihan’s number.

However, an automated voice informed her that his phone was switched off.

Nan Zhi did not have Wei Lin’s phone number. If she were to run after them quickly, she should be able to catch up to them.

“Xiao Xi, I have to ask young master Mu something very important. I have to find him. I won’t have dinner later, so don’t wait for me.”

Before Xia Xi could even say anything, Nan Zhi’s thin silhouette had already rushed into the drizzling darkness.

…

The fortress was dark and quiet at night. Nan Zhi turned on the flashlight on her phone as she ran forward without a care for how hard the journey would be.

After running for about ten minutes, she saw several silhouettes crowding around a turn, and walked over hurriedly.

“Big brother, did something happen?”

One of the men looked at Nan Zhi and answered, “Someone walked too quickly just now and it seems they fell down up ahead. It’s an abyss under there and that person has probably lost their life and has fallen to their death.”

Nan Zhi’s heart tightened.

Her grip on the button tightened as her face paled. “Who fell down? Do you know who that person is?”

“I heard he’s a big boss that is very young and handsome. Oh, I don’t know why he’s in such a rush to leave the village at night after he only just arrived. It’s such a pity to lose such a young life!”

Young, handsome and a big boss…

Her heart jolted.

Mu Sihan’s silhouette appeared in Nan Zhi’s mind automatically.

She had not clarified if he was the one who had saved her from the kidnappers that year. Never confirmed if he was the one who had scolded her, calling her a stupid and ugly pig as he piggybacked her…

She had never imagined this could happen.

“Y-Young lady, what are you crying for? Was it your lover that fell down?”

Nan Zhi felt a cold liquid flow down her cheek. She thought that it was rainwater from the increasingly heavy rain. However, the liquid was bitter and salty when it entered her lips.

It turned out that she was really crying.

She was crying for that overbearing man.

“Young lady, please stop crying. A-Actually…”
