She wants to swear that Nangong Zijue is a villain, but the rational part of her brain kicks in .

She lifts her head and, through gritted teeth, she says, “So Nangong Zijue asked people to follow me, huh? Is that wise and righteous?”

Her statement made Tom blanch .  No, it’s not wise or righteous to tail someone .

“Since he’s guarded and dishonest, why should I follow his rules to this s.h.i.+tty game? I might as well have amnesia since he’ll contradict anything anyway . ”

She truly didn’t get far, and the road will only take her back to Nangong Zijue . She still hasn’t found Han Qilu, and here she is, caught . Her frustration has made her tongue loose .

Although Tom’s Mandarin Chinese is good, he knows he will lose debating against An Chuxia .

She didn’t say anything untrue . Zijue didn’t tell him he can’t help her . But if he helps her now, their current disposition might turn for the worse . After all, they can’t really be seen by anyone . Once they’ve been exposed, the police, the Han’s bodyguards, and Nangong Zifei’s men would gang up on them and permanently obliterate them .

He can tell Master Jue nothing happened . He can disappear… but he can’t take that risk .

Tom hesitates as he deliberates his options .

“It would be best, Miss An Chuxia, if we make a deal . ”

An Chuxia just found the mobile she threw away earlier, and was elated when she realized it isn’t broken . Now Zijue’s henchman shows up . She can’t truly describe her hatred towards Nangong Zijue and this tall man before her .

“I don’t have the time to bargain . Please return the phone to me!” she says in desperation .

Tom speaks to her firmly . “If you don’t make contact with the outside world, I’ll help you find what you’re looking for . ”

Tom speaks to her firmly . “If you don’t make contact with the outside world, I’ll help you find what you’re looking for . ”

As soon as she hears his condition, she tightens up . “You… Can I count on you? Can I trust you?”

An Chuxia is skeptical . If she’s seeing things from Zijue’s point of view, she shouldn’t hope for any kind of help .  So what is this guy’s endgame? Should she be hopeful?

“I don’t lie . ” Tom puts the phone in his pocket and pulls out a round, glowing item . He quickly presses the b.u.t.ton and shoves it back in his pocket . “Miss An Chuxia, please come with me . ”

Tom has started down the path . She stares at his back for a while before believing the tall man . After all, if she relies on herself to find anyone in this forest, she won’t be able to find another person in a year’s time .

She has no choice .

She has no choice .

The tall man retrieves the round, glowing object several times, and An Chuxia deduces this is a GPS device .

“Why are you helping me look for him?” They’ve been walking for a while, and Tom hasn’t spoken to her since they started, and she wantss to break the silence .

“I’m not helping you . ” Tom replies, still walking at a fast pace . “I just made a pact with you . ”

An Chuxia shrugs and stops talking . This tall man is really stubborn .
