Shen Jianyi propped herself up on the ground with both hands and quickly kept a certain distance from the man.
Although the man was wearing a mask, this distance was still very dangerous for her.
Then, the man reached out again to protect her head and pressed her tightly against his chest.
"Don't move. If you don't want to die, just stay here obediently."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi really didn't understand why he was hiding. Clearly, he could deal with these people on his own, and just now was the best opportunity. Once it was missed, it would be a bit difficult to handle them later.
She moved a little, but the man was very strong and held her down tightly, not allowing her to move anymore.
"How could there be someone on the top of the mountain? Are you guys overthinking it?"
"We've searched all the way. They must have already escaped. Let's go quickly."
"This mission is just too difficult. There's no need to continue. I'm quitting!"
"Me too!"
"..."
Several people in a row were going to withdraw from the mission. Now no one was willing to listen to that woman. Everyone turned around and walked down the mountain, leaving only the woman alone.
She looked around to make sure there was no movement and then left.
After those people had walked away in a hurry.
Shen Jianyi asked in a very soft voice, "Are they gone?"
Gun could actually see from this direction that those people had already walked far away and would not turn back at all.
But he had a little selfish thought. The man's voice was hoarse. "Not yet. Wait a little longer."
At first, she didn't find it strange, but after a long time, she didn't hear anyone talking or any footsteps. Only then did Shen Jianyi start to have some doubts.
"Are you sure?"
The man didn't say anything. She just propped herself up and saw that there was no one there. Clearly, those people had already left, but he had lied to her like this. It was really unkind.
"Gun, I really didn't expect that you could even lie!"
He looked nonchalant. He sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a big tree, and said proudly, "I didn't lie to you. They should have just left."
"I don't believe you!"
Shen Jianyi really couldn't figure out what was going on with this Gun. He kept trying to get close to her again and again. Almost every time she went on a mission or was in danger, this man would appear. It was as if he was always with her.
If he hadn't sent someone to follow her, how could there be so many coincidences? She couldn't believe it.
Just then, Shen Jianyi couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Tell me the truth. Did you send someone to follow me?"
Gun shrugged. "Of course not. Am I that bored?"
While he was talking, Shen Jianyi noticed that there was a crack in one part of the man's mask. As long as she used a little more force, the whole mask would fall apart.
Since he had lied to her like this, there was no need to be polite anymore. There was no need to talk about morality with a person like him.
Then, Shen Jianyi didn't know where she got a pebble from. Without thinking, she took advantage of the man's inattention and threw it at his mask.
"Pop──"
A clear sound rang out, and the mask cracked again.
The man quickly turned his head and searched his body for a new mask, but he couldn't find one.
"This wasn't on purpose. I just wanted to shoot a bird with the pebble. Who knew your mask would catch it?"
The man didn't say anything. He just kept his back to her.
It seemed that Gun really didn't want to show her his real appearance. Shen Jianyi frowned. "I won't force you. If you really feel inferior because of your appearance, then let me tell you, there's no need for that."
After saying that, she leaned against a rock a little nervously, then half-closed her eyes and waited for Xia Liang's rescue.
During this waiting period, Gun kept his back to her. No matter what she said, he refused to turn around. He protected his real appearance tightly.
In such a quiet atmosphere.
Gun seemed to think of something and slowly said, "Shen Jianyi, what kind of harm from your husband would you find the most unacceptable?"
Although she didn't quite understand why this man was asking this, there must be a reason for it.
Shen Jianyi shrugged casually. "My bottom line for him is very low. As long as he doesn't betray me."
"What about lies?"
The moment she heard this, Shen Jianyi didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable all over. She always felt that there was a reason for Gun to ask this question.
Maybe it was because she was also lying to Lu Jinsheng, so she didn't really want to answer.
"I don't know." Shen Jianyi lowered her head. "I've never thought about this question."
Since the other person had already asked, she would continue this topic.
"What about you?" Shen Jianyi's voice sounded even colder in this quiet and desolate environment. "What if your wife also lies to you?"
When asking this question, Shen Jianyi already had some doubts in her heart. Was the real identity of the person in front of her Lu Jinsheng?
She had suspected this many times before, but he could always make her feel that the two of them had nothing to do with each other very skillfully.
But this time, she wanted to ask him in person.
Just as she asked this question, she heard Gun turn off the voice changer, and his voice returned to its usual state.
"My answer is the same as yours. I also trust her. Maybe for her, some lies are white lies."
The man's voice was cold and magnetic. It spread into her ears. It was so familiar that even if Shen Jianyi couldn't see the person in front of her, she could guess.
"Is it you?"
Shen Jianyi was trembling all over when she said this. If it really was him, she didn't know how to face it. Her mind was in a complete mess. Maybe she had never experienced such a thing before.
At this moment, the man was standing against the light. The moonlight was shining down on him, as if he was covered with a layer of cold silver light.
His mask had already shattered and fallen to the ground, turning into a pile of broken pieces.
Gun slowly turned his head.
Shen Jianyi could clearly see that the man's side face was extremely delicate. His nose was straight, and his jawline connected to his neck, forming a beautiful arc.
This time, she could clearly see.
The real appearance of this so - called "ugly" man. After covering it up for so long, he finally showed his true face under her successive forcing.
Shen Jianyi's eyes trembled. No matter how surprised she was, there was not much change in her expression. On the surface, she still looked calm and normal.
But the woman's body had already betrayed her. She was trembling violently all over. She couldn't tell whether she was feeling aggrieved, angry, or guilty now.
The man took a few steps forward, and Shen Jianyi kept backing away.
Her voice was hoarse. "... Lu Jinsheng, it's really you."
