258: It was destined to be mine

However, the newcomers were clearly well-trained elites; their footsteps were not in the least bit disorganized, following like shadows, and in just a few short minutes, they formed a perimeter again.

The expression on Mu Nancen's face was no longer what it used to be.

A cold glint appeared in her eyes, and a look of ruthlessness, uncharacteristic of that beautiful face, surfaced on her lovely features.

"Who are you people?" Mu Nancen asked coldly!

The four of them said nothing, attacking Mu Nancen with synchronized steps.

Facing the combined attack of the four, Mu Nancen's expression grew even colder.

A pitch-black short blade appeared in her hand.

It streaked through the night like a dark light.

Daggers appeared in the hands of the four attackers simultaneously.

Such well-trained enemies with seamless coordination made it difficult for Mu Nancen to break the deadlock for a moment.

Not only was their cooperation perfect, but they were also clearly seasoned killers; both their speed and reflexes far exceeded those of ordinary people, possessing an awareness that only comes from life-and-death combat.

The curtain of night gradually drew back.

Si Yang looked at the incoming call on his phone and couldn't help but smile.

He didn't answer, instead flipping his hand to put the phone in his pocket.

At this moment, on the field, Mu Nancen's figure flitted about; even as her short blade sliced open one person's chest, the hem of her dress was also torn.

Mu Nancen forced the man back with a kick, her palm lightly touching the ground as she flipped away, creating distance from the four of them and landing steadily.

"How is it so lively in these woods?" A light chuckle rang out at that moment.

A figure slowly appeared.

A playful look lingered at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were calm and unruffled.

Si Yang's figure stepped out from behind a tree.

The four people looked wary, but a look of joy surfaced in Mu Nancen's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Mu Nancen said with some surprise!

Hearing this, Si Yang just smiled, "Isn't it a coincidence? When we just parted, I happened to see someone being followed, so I wandered over." Si Yang chuckled.

Looking at the four of them, he slowly took a step forward.

The four of them looked at Si Yang with solemn eyes, and in the next moment, they turned and ran without any hesitation.

Si Yang smiled and didn't give chase, turning his gaze toward Mu Nancen.

"I didn't realize that Miss Mu was quite skilled!" Si Yang said to Mu Nancen with a smile!

"If you want to live well, how can you do without some skill?"

"I've undergone the most rigorous training since I was a child."

"It was crueler than you can imagine."

"I don't even know who sent these people; perhaps it's someone from my family, since I hold a share of resources, or perhaps they were sent by a rival." Mu Nancen smiled bitterly.

A hint of undeniable fragility appeared on her face.

Si Yang smiled silently, "I just happened to be here, and I'm not someone who likes listening to stories." Si Yang laughed!

"You really are a bastard who doesn't understand romance." Mu Nancen couldn't help but huff at Si Yang.

Si Yang smiled and said nothing.

"People say that the debt of saving a life should be repaid with one's body; I'll give myself to you, so you protect me, okay?" Mu Nancen said softly!

"Stop messing around. Even if I hadn't shown up, you might not have been in trouble."

"Actually, I'm just in a hurry; my woman is looking for me." Si Yang smiled at Mu Nancen.

He lit a cigarette on his own, "Alright, I'm off. See you around." After saying that, Si Yang turned and left without looking back.

"By the way, tie up your clothes; I didn't expect the Eldest Miss Mu to be so innocent." Si Yang's voice drifted from afar.

Mu Nancen subconsciously looked down, "Bastard!" Mu Nancen shouted loudly!

In the next moment, however, her face turned as red as blood.

She could vaguely see Si Yang's figure, waving his hand, never once looking back.

Mu Nancen tied the hem of her dress; what she had said to Si Yang was half-true and half-false, as she indeed did not know who was targeting her.

Was it the Daxia Military? Or Paradise Island?

If it were the former, they probably wouldn't be so casual about it, so the latter was highly likely; perhaps she had already been compromised.

As for the rest, that was just a story.

Si Yang was unwilling to listen to stories, especially fictional ones.

Mu Nancen would not tell him the truth.

Si Yang returned home all the way, and Ye Mengwan had already arrived.

"I was delayed by something and came back a bit late. You must be hungry; I'll go cook for you." Si Yang said softly as he looked at Ye Mengwan!

"Mm!" Ye Mengwan nodded gently.

"Wait for me, it'll be ready soon." Si Yang said softly!

When the time comes, the one who would be most sad and hurt would likely be Ye Mengwan.

This caused an unspeakable emotion to rise in Si Yang's heart.

Yet, there were some things that simply couldn't be said.

He soon had the meal ready. Ye Mengwan's eyes were soft as she looked at Si Yang, "I can't even get used to eating food from outside now; you've spoiled my palate." Ye Mengwan said playfully!

Si Yang couldn't help but smile at her words, "You're getting better and better at sweet-talking."

Ye Mengwan giggled.

"We will stay like this forever and ever, right?" Ye Mengwan said softly!

Si Yang's eyes held a hint of a smile as he looked quietly at Ye Mengwan, "Yes."

Seeing Si Yang nod, Ye Mengwan's face immediately blossomed into a smile.

Some words simply could not be spoken after all.

He, who had always been decisive, ultimately hesitated.

Of all the debts in the world, a debt of love is the hardest to repay.

The night was as still as water. After Ye Mengwan fell fast asleep, Si Yang didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.

Also unable to sleep was Mu Nancen.

She knew that some things could no longer be delayed; the longer they dragged on, the more dangerous it would become.

Whether it was Paradise Island's targeting or the probing from the Daxia Military, none of it was a good sign for her.

It seemed she needed to lay her cards on the table with him as soon as possible.

However, the degree of this must be handled carefully.

He was not someone she could easily control; he was too powerful.

A figure appeared behind Mu Nancen.

"Miss." The figure called out respectfully!

"Closely monitor Paradise Island's movements; I want to know every move of the Red King."

"Yes, Miss." The figure said respectfully!

"Also, investigate the identities of those people tonight; I want to know exactly who is targeting me." Mu Nancen's voice was cold.

"Yes, your subordinate will do his best to investigate." The figure said!

Mu Nancen waved her hand, signaling for the figure to leave.

Looking at the Central Sea's slightly misty night sky, a smile appeared on Mu Nancen's water-like face, looking so enchanting under the flickering neon lights.

"How can I conquer you?"

"Or be conquered by you?" Mu Nancen murmured.

Her mind was already filled with Si Yang's figure; even though she knew it was a dangerous thought she shouldn't have, she still couldn't help herself.

His strength fascinated her.

Her upbringing destined her to be unable to resist the powerful.

Si Yang's leisurely pace and his casual indifference all proclaimed his strength.

The enemies she could hardly resist seemed like a joke in Si Yang's eyes.

Licking her slightly dry lips, the smile at the corner of her mouth was stunning enough to captivate all.

"A man like you is destined to be mine." Mu Nancen's expression was somewhat pathological.
