Ni Xuanyi no longer paid attention to Ruan Zhao and only looked down below. Although she couldn't distinguish directions, she could still tell the difference between sea and land, as well as an uninhabited island and a city.

As long as Ruan Zhao didn't land the plane on an isolated island, once she arrived in a city, she would be able to contact Li's family and have Li Yi send people to rescue her.

Ruan Zhao was afraid that Ni Xuanyi might do something extreme and really landed the plane near a fortress leading to City G. Standing on the airstrip, Ni Xuanyi saw a city not far away with countless vehicles passing through it, which slightly eased her mind.

"Is this City G" Not knowing where she was, Ni Xuanyi retreated step by step, trying to distance herself from Ruan Zhao.

"We are very close to City G. It will take us about half an hour by car to get there." Ruan Zhao looked at Ni Xuanyi with soft eyes, looking innocent and harmless, "Don't be afraid of me. I really won't hurt you."

"You always like to control others and impose your will on them. Why should I believe you!" At this moment, Ni Xuanyi's emotions had calmed down somewhat. She knew she couldn't provoke Ruan Zhao, so she looked at him with tear-filled eyes in a pitiful manner.

Ruan Zhao was heartbroken by Ni Xuanyi's expression. "Xuanxuan, I swear, this time I won't deceive you and will definitely take you back to City G."

Surrounding the airstrip were barren lands, and it would probably take an hour for Ni Xuanyi to reach a populated area. Ruan Zhao wouldn't allow her to leave either. She could only nod reluctantly. "Brother Ruan Zhao, this time you mustn't deceive me!"

"No, Xuanxuan, I would never deceive you." When Ni Xuanyi finally agreed to come closer to him, Ruan Zhao felt a slight relief and gestured for the driver to move the car. He then sat inside with Ni Xuanyi.

Ni Xuanyi watched nervously as the car drove towards its destination. As soon as she saw the kilometer markers indicating that they were heading toward G City on the highway, her heart finally settled down.

Oh my God, she has finally returned!

"Xuanxuan, I truly have no intention of harming you. All I want is to spend some alone time with you. When we went to India, you had Ruan Xi by your side, and when back home, there were guests everywhere. We never got a chance to be alone together, so that's why I wanted to take you to the small island for a bit of fun," Ruan Zhao repeatedly explained his intentions to Ni Xuanyi.

Seeing that Ruan Zhao truly intended to send her back to G City and recalling how devotedly he had treated her these past days, Ni Xuanyi blushed slightly and smiled at him apologetically. "I was also a bit too hasty earlier, getting angry with you for no reason. I'm sorry!"

Upon seeing that Ni Xuanyi was smiling so gently at him, Ruan Zhao found himself even more reluctant to let her go. All through the ride, his expression was melancholic as he looked at her.

Ni Xuanyi felt completely reassured when she saw that they had finally entered G City; this city had Li Yi and Li An, who were her support system here.

Ruan Zhao instructed the driver to take Ni Xuanyi all the way to her apartment building. As he watched her about to leave, his heart felt hollow and he began to regret his decision. How could he have possibly believed that loving her meant giving her freedom and respecting her wishes Perhaps she was happier this way, but how excruciating it must be for him to be away from her!

Ni Xuanyi happily waved goodbye to Ruan Zhao. "Brother Ruan Zhao, thank you for seeing me off! I'm leaving now!"

Ru Zhaos heart was tumultuous, and he didn’t immediately unlock the car door to let Ni Xuanyi out.

When Ni Xuanyi saw Ru Zhao’s expression change, she became anxious. She pushed against the car door hard but couldn’t open it. Unintentionally glancing outside, she discovered Li An and Shao Junhe standing at the entrance of a nearby hotel, seemingly in conversation.

Worried, Ni Xuanyi shouted as loudly as possible, regardless of whether Li An could hear her, "Li An! Li An!"

The moment Ru Zhao heard her call out Li An’s name, his expression changed drastically. He followed the direction of Ni Xuanyi’s gaze and recognized Li An immediately; he had seen countless photos of the Li family members.

He asked in a somewhat surprised tone, "You know someone from the Li family"

After shouting, Ni Xuanyi realized that this car was completely sealed, and her voice couldn’t be heard outside. If Ru Zhao didn’t let her out of the car, even if she shouted until her throat hurt, Li An wouldn’t hear her.

Hearing Ru Zhao ask about her relationship with someone from the Li family, she immediately smiled confidently, "Not only do I know them, but I also have a deep connection with them!"

Ru Zhao’s expression became indifferent; he no longer showed obvious emotions. Now, in his eyes, Ni Xuanyi was an opponent. He asked calmly, "What kind of relationship do you have"

Now that she understood Ru Zhao's feelings towards her, Ni Xuanyi didn’t dare mention Li Yi but instead climbed higher on the family tree, "My grandfather used to be a lifesaver for Li Haonan. Coming here to study and work was all arranged by him."

"Is that so!" Ruan Zhao smiled faintly, "Then you must be very familiar with the Li family"

Ni Xuanyi noticed that Ruan Zhao was suspicious and immediately started talking about big and small matters concerning the Li family. She only mentioned things that were more secretive rather than what everyone knew—what was Li An's pet dog's name, what were the license plate numbers of the cars in the Li family, which kind of alcohol Li Haonan liked to drink, which brand of handbags Gu Xiaobei preferred...

"It looks like you really have a good relationship with the Li family!" Ruan Zhao looked at Ni Xuanyi thoughtfully.

Since Li Haonan had been in charge of the Golden Triangle for many years, he was naturally very familiar with the Li family. At one moment just now, he had wanted to forcibly take Ni Xuanyi away. Now that he learned about her connection to the Li family, he hesitated.

Abducting Ni Xuanyi would make her hate him even more and attract the attention of the Li family. The result would be that the Li family would become his enemy, and Ni Xuanyi would be taken back by them. This outcome was not desirable.

Ruan Zhao decided to let Ni Xuanyi go for now. After all, both he and she were young; he was unmarried while she had yet to marry someone else. There was plenty of time in the future for him to slowly pursue this little girl.

"Xuanxuan, you can go back now. If anything happens, give me a call anytime," Ruan Zhao reluctantly let Ni Xuanyi out of the car.

As soon as she saw that the car door was unlocked, Ni Xuanyi jumped out without hesitation, breathing in the air around her that was mixed with exhaust fumes, finding it incredibly refreshing.

This trip back to the Golden Triangle had been a thrilling journey. No wonder Li Yi didn't like that place. Thinking of Li Yi, Ni Xuanyi hurriedly looked at where Li An had just stood and noticed that their group had already entered the hotel in a grand procession.ing Zixi saw Luo An's sudden change in expression, he looked around but didn't see anyone annoying this troublemaker. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that something was wrong with the music. He qui...
