This small incident stayed on the hot search for two days and then faded away. Mainly, no one would believe the attempts to smear Su Yanke now. However, there's always an exception...
When Su Yanke noticed that they completed the mission extremely smoothly, she sensed something was wrong.
Those drug dealers seemed not to put up any resistance at all. It was as if their mission had already been accomplished, and the drug deal was just a ruse.
This thought flashed through Su Yanke's mind, and then a wild idea popped up.
What if they were set up from the very beginning?
Why was the director of the show in the hands of the drug dealers? And what was the promised thing?
Su Yanke suddenly remembered that on her way to the snow - covered mountain, the copper coin had vibrated slightly for a while. At that time, she thought there was something on the mountain. But now, thinking about it, the copper coin had been quiet after she reached the mountain. This didn't make sense!
So there was only one reason: there was something wrong with that stretch of the road!
As soon as there was progress, Su Yanke set off towards that place. Sister Hong had to stay behind because the special forces had discovered her identity. She was extremely reluctant.
Chen Maohua and Lu Xingmi originally wanted to accompany her, but Su Yanke refused. No one could predict what would happen next.
Su Yanke embarked on this unknown journey alone.
It was the same route, but Su Yanke's state of mind was completely different.
Su Yanke: "Stop the car!"
There was hardly any sign of human presence on the road. Besides Su Yanke and the driver, there was no third person.
"Little girl, are you really getting off here?" the driver asked worriedly.
After Su Yanke opened the door and got out, she looked up at the distant mountain peak, squinting slightly. Then she turned to the driver and said, "Uncle, don't take this road this afternoon if it's not necessary. There will be danger!"
The driver was stunned by her words. Before he could reply, Su Yanke had disappeared.
Looking at the azure sky, the driver murmured, "Danger? With such good weather and no wind, how could there be any danger..."
As he said this, he had a bad feeling. Could this girl be so desperate that she was going to do something stupid?
Recalling the journey, the girl had been distracted. Her eyes had been wandering around all the time, and her rambling words clearly indicated that something was wrong with her mental state.
The girl was extremely beautiful. She must have been doted on since childhood. Could she have been hurt in a relationship and was now going to commit suicide?
Once this thought came up, the driver couldn't sit still. It was too late to chase after her now, but there were surveillance cameras nearby. If he called the police now, there might still be a chance.
Su Yanke had no idea that her words had sparked so many wild speculations in someone else's mind.
There was indeed something on the mountain. As soon as Su Yanke got close, the copper coin in her hand reacted violently.
Just as Su Yanke reached the middle of the mountain, she heard some noises. She quickly hid aside.
"Hey, do you think the Lord will really succeed this time? Can we really..."
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by another man in a hurry.
"What are you talking nonsense about! The Lord will definitely succeed, and we will surely carve out our own territory. If this world doesn't accept us, then we'll abandon it. Let this world just disappear! Hahaha..."
The voices of the two men gradually faded away, and Su Yanke could no longer hear them clearly. But from these words, she extracted some information.
They had a leader called the Lord.
Secondly, their Lord was currently involved in a secret event. If this event succeeded, it would pose a threat to the world, or even destroy it!
Su Yanke was thinking about these fragmented pieces of information when suddenly she felt a tight grip around her waist. Then, a familiar scent enveloped her. A strong yet gentle body pressed against her back, and the warm breath on her neck made her feel a little itchy.
"Ayan, I miss you so much～"
Su Yanke's eyes turned red. She relaxed her body and turned around to hug Yuan Hexiao.
"Hexiao." Su Yanke's tone was extremely affectionate, with a hint of grievance.
A flash of blood - red light appeared in Yuan Hexiao's eyes. The arm that was holding Su Yanke tightened unconsciously.
"Hexiao, what's wrong with your eyes these days...?" Su Yanke was about to ask what had happened to Yuan Hexiao these days and what the content on the letter meant when she saw that Yuan Hexiao's eyes had turned red.
Hearing this, Yuan Hexiao lowered his eyes slightly, as if trying to avoid her gaze. "Ayan, don't be afraid. I don't know what's going on either. I woke up like this..."
Yuan Hexiao seemed really afraid that Su Yanke would be scared of the color of his eyes, and his voice gradually weakened.
How could Su Yanke bear to see Yuan Hexiao being so cautious now? She lovingly held his face and lifted his head so that their eyes met.
"Idiot, how could I be scared? I love you, your soul. How could I be scared just because of the color of your eyes?"
Yuan Hexiao's eyelashes trembled slightly. The corners of his mouth quickly curled up, and then he gently pecked Su Yanke on the face.
Su Yanke's face turned red instantly. She stammered, "O - okay, stop fooling around. How did you find me?"
Yuan Hexiao's little finger twitched involuntarily. "I don't know either. When I woke up, I was in a house. The people here had disappeared. I walked around for a while and then saw you."
Su Yanke: ??
This was not what she had expected. Was it really that casual?
"By the way, they seem to be holding some kind of ceremony. There are a lot of people there!"
A ceremony?
Recalling what the two men had said just now, Su Yanke immediately decided to go there.
Yuan Hexiao held Su Yanke's hand and led her there with a beaming smile.
Looking at Yuan Hexiao's back, a complex look flashed across Su Yanke's eyes.
The place was indeed as Yuan Hexiao had said. There were really a lot of people!
On a lake surrounded by several mountains, the ice was thick. Dense crowds had gathered on the lake. These people had one thing in common: they were all wearing white clothes.
In the middle of the lake, there was a pattern formed by a lot of stones. The pattern looked familiar to Su Yanke, but because of the poor visibility, she couldn't clearly see the position of all the stones, so she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
Suddenly, someone bumped into Su Yanke's shoulder. When she turned around, a white object filled her entire field of vision.
"Ayan, I just got this from the clothes - drying rack over there. Let's put them on and go in for a closer look!"
Su Yanke looked in the distance and saw that there was indeed a clothes - drying rack, but there was a missing piece on it. Obviously, the clothes in her hand were taken from there.
The clothes were clean and odorless.
Su Yanke looked at the other people. Because the clothes were so loose, everyone's face was covered, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Su Yanke felt a little confused. Why didn't these people put name tags on? How could they tell each other apart?
Sure enough, when Su Yanke and the others got closer, no one noticed or suspected them.
"Ayan, come here quickly!" Yuan Hexiao stood in front of the stones and waved to Su Yanke.
But Su Yanke just stood there coldly, unmoved.
"You're not him. Who are you?" Su Yanke asked coldly.
'Yuan Hexiao' was stunned. Looking at the calmness in Su Yanke's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
Gradually, his laughter grew louder. The people around them silently surrounded them, encircling Su Yanke and 'Yuan Hexiao' inside.
'Yuan Hexiao' slightly raised his hand. The approaching people stopped in their tracks and didn't move forward anymore. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
After 'Yuan Hexiao' stopped laughing, he looked up and asked, "How did you find out? I don't think I made any mistakes."
"Feelings can't be faked." Su Yanke paused and then added, "I don't have that feeling for you."
When Su Yanke was kissed by Yuan Hexiao before, her heart would always race. But this time, there was no such feeling. From then on, Su Yanke had a sense of unease.
After that, this feeling became even stronger. It was as if they were acting. Every word he said to her seemed to be the result of careful calculation.
It was as if he was desperately suppressing something. Later, she noticed that almost every time she asked a question, the 'Yuan Hexiao' in front of her would unconsciously lift his little finger. She seemed to have seen this in someone in her memory, but she couldn't remember exactly who it was.
"Feelings! It's always about feelings. What am I lacking compared to him! He's just a good - for - nothing! Why did you still choose him! Why! Why! "
The red - eyed 'Yuan Hexiao' roared angrily, but Su Yanke was completely confused. What was he talking about? She didn't even know him!
The red - eyed 'Yuan Hexiao' looked at the cold - faced Su Yanke and laughed self - deprecatingly. "Sister, you've never seen me. In all these years, have you ever thought of me for a moment?"
Su Yanke was stunned. A figure appeared absurdly in her mind and gradually overlapped with the 'Yuan Hexiao' in front of her.
Su Yanke exclaimed in shock, "X - Xiaobao?"
Hearing this name, 'Yuan Hexiao' immediately raised his eyes and stared fixedly at Su Yanke. "Xiaobao? Hehe～Sort of. But if... Forget it. None of this matters anymore. Sister, can we start over?"
Su Yanke: Is he crazy? What on earth is he talking about? Why can't I understand?
Xiaobao: "Sister, you may be a little confused now. Come here. I'll explain everything to you."
