Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Girls should not be too talkative

Under the mask, Xiao Zheng was also utterly baffled. He hadn’t expected Chu Xiaoran to ask for his contact details right off the bat—what a quirky girl!

Donning the mask, Xiao Zheng gave her a look. The white clown mask appeared mysteriously in the dark night, evoking a chilling sensation. Moreover, his presumably murderous gaze at Chu Xiaoran made the girl shudder.

"What, what do you want to do?" Leng Ruobing asked nervously.

Although the masked man had saved them, no one knew what he would do to them next. If he were to lose control and execute them then and there, screaming at the top of their lungs wouldn’t help at this altitude of a hundred meters.

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, lest you suffer fatal consequences," a brash and raspy voice said.

He had intentionally scared Chu Xiaoran; her courage was surprisingly big, daring to ask a stranger for his contact detail—naively romantic if put nicely, or brainlessly impulsive if not.

Immediately, Chu Xiaoran fell silent. Though she tended to be a bit dense, she could still discern the gravity of the situation.

Xiao Zheng untied the ropes around Leng Ruobing, but he did not do the same for Chu Xiaoran as he now needed to leave the area quickly. The longer he stayed, the higher the risk of exposing his identity.

Turning around, Xiao Zheng headed to the emergency stairs, and within moments his figure had vanished from Leng Ruobing’s and Chu Xiaoran’s view.

"Hey, hey, hey, what does this mean? To untie you but not me?" Chu Xiaoran immediately became upset; she didn’t understand the masked man’s intentions, but she was very angry.

Leng Ruobing was at a loss for words; she still hadn’t fully recovered from the shock, but Chu Xiaoran seemed unaffected by the kidnapping ordeal, as if nothing had happened, and even started complaining about the man who had saved them.

"You should be thankful we’re safe; what is there to complain about?" Leng Ruobing said helplessly as she began untying Chu Xiaoran.

Chu Xiaoran pouted her lips, then excitedly said, "Cousin, that masked man was so cool just now! I’ve decided I must find his contact details. I want to be his friend! And if he’s handsome, becoming a boyfriend wouldn’t be too bad, hehe! Besides, he was so capable."

At that moment, Leng Ruobing wanted to crack open Chu Xiaoran’s head to explore the unique wiring of her cousin’s brain.

After much effort, Leng Ruobing finally freed Chu Xiaoran from her binds.

"Cousin, where’s your bodyguard Xiao Zheng? We were kidnapped and he still hasn’t noticed? What kind of bodyguard is he? You should fire him!"

Chu Xiaoran said with a pout.

Normally, bodyguards, if not accompanying 24/7, should at least be nearby; however, there had been no word from Xiao Zheng, not acting like a bodyguard but rather like an indifferent lord!

Leng Ruobing felt slightly embarrassed since she hadn’t explained her relationship with Xiao Zheng to Chu Xiaoran. Seeing her cousin’s complaints, Leng Ruobing could only dodge the issue by promising to punish Xiao Zheng upon their return.

"Oh no, how are we going to get down from this height?" Chu Xiaoran suddenly exclaimed.

Leng Ruobing was taken aback, then realized that they were still at a hundred meters in the air! The masked man had saved them but didn’t bring them down. Approaching the safety staircase, Leng Ruobing looked down and immediately felt a bit dizzy and weak in the knees because she was mildly acrophobic.

"What else can we do but slowly make our way down?" Leng Ruobing said with a wry smile.

Chu Xiaoran also appeared afraid. However, when the two of them were captured, their cellphones were thrown away by the others.

Now even if they wanted to call the police for help, they couldn’t. One in front of the other, they carefully made their way down the fire escape, not daring to look down.

"Cousin, haven’t we reached the bottom yet? My legs are about to give out," Chu Xiaoran asked, her voice trembling.

Although Chu Xiaoran was usually quite carefree, she was still a girl and had a much worse fear of heights than her cousin Leng Ruobing. At this moment, her legs were almost out of strength, and she nearly missed her step several times.

The two had been hanging on a hundred-meter-high tower for several hours, already severely weakened. Now, they were only holding on because of their willpower and desire to survive, otherwise they would have already fallen and died.

"Xiao Ran, hold on, we are almost there. There are only about twenty meters left," Leng Ruobing said, hardly able to hold on herself.

Leng Ruobing was deceiving Chu Xiaoran, because she knew that if she told the truth, Chu Xiaoran would probably lose all hope.

In fact, they had already climbed down a considerable distance, but they were still very high above the ground, at least seventy to eighty meters. If they were to fall now, death was the only outcome.

"That’s good, that’s good. Hang in there, cousin; we’re about to reach the ground," Chu Xiaoran said.

Hearing they were less than twenty meters away, Chu Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief and even cheered Leng Ruobing on.

Leng Ruobing suddenly smiled, realizing she had underestimated Chu Xiaoran. She hadn’t expected that the other still had the presence of mind to cheer her on.

...

Xiao Zheng returned to his car, took off the black clothes and mask he was wearing, and hid them in the trunk. His identity as the Evil God absolutely could not be discovered by Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, otherwise it would only bring endless disaster to both of them.

Moreover, if his identity were exposed, he would likely face tremendous difficulty in Huaxia, as Huaxia is known as a no-go zone for mercenaries, and that was not just an idle statement.

Although Xiao Zheng was not afraid of the special agencies in Huaxia, he still preferred not to attract too much trouble that could affect his search for the Golden Bone.

It wasn’t that Xiao Zheng didn’t trust them, but he feared Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran might inadvertently reveal his identity. So it was better not to let the two women know; it would spare them trouble and reduce his own, a win-win situation.

Just then, Xiao Zheng suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky, because he saw Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran hanging approximately seventy meters off the ground, both appearing exhausted and possibly about to fall.

"These two silly women!" Xiao Zheng shook his head.

The reason he hadn’t rescued the two women earlier was that he wanted to return to his car to take off his mask and black clothes, and then reveal his true identity to save them. But he hadn’t expected these two to be so impatient, risking danger by taking the fire escape to climb down.

"Hehe, looks like it’s time for a grand entrance," Xiao Zheng chuckled.

He had deliberately left this opportunity for himself. At least this way, he could find some sense of presence, right?

Moreover, this would also ensure Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran wouldn’t suspect him. Both women were incredibly sharp—any slip-up could have them detect clues.
