I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Su Li felt the warm, sticky sensation on her face and mechanically reached out to wipe it away.

His dazed eyes slowly focused, and the headless body before him became clear, then his stomach began to churn.

"Slap slap—"

"Snap—"

The others were terrified, and before they could figure out what was going on, their own minds were spinning.

One after another, they were like firecrackers strung together and lit.

"ah--"

Su Li stared at the terrifying and bizarre scene before her, screamed, and then vomited up the mutton she had eaten along with the bitter liquid.

It took her a long time to recover, but she still didn't dare to look at the fallen corpses.

"Is it a sniper?"

Su Li had been waiting for her head to explode like those people's, but it never happened.

She guessed that someone might be helping her, but after going through the thought again and again, she really couldn't think of anyone who would help her at a time like this.

"Could it be him...?"

Lost in thought, Su Li heard footsteps.

She looked up abruptly, first seeing a pair of long legs, then a stunningly beautiful face, short, neat hair, and a long black tactical backpack slung over her back.

"Did you save me?"

"Why did you save me? Do we know each other?"

Su Li was certain that she did not know the woman in front of her.

"If you want to live, come with me right now!"

The short-haired woman said something and turned to leave.

After a moment's thought, Su Li quickly followed.

Inside the hotel room, Xie Bingning took a set of clean clothes, pointed to the bathroom, and said, "Go and wash up first."

Su Li took the clothes blankly, swallowed back many words that were on the tip of her tongue, and silently went into the bathroom.

She removed her soaking wet clothes, letting the hot water wash over her beautiful body. The temperature was just right, and it warmed her heart as well.

I really don't know whether to say I'm lucky or unlucky.

On the one hand, you find yourself in a desperate situation; on the other hand, you are rescued by different people in one night.

Su Lizai carefully washed away the remaining dirt and bloodstains from her body and face. Her jade-like body, which had become sticky from being soaked in seawater, felt even smoother, revealing her true appearance as white as mutton fat jade.

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Su Li."

"I want to know who you are and why you saved me."

Su Li dried her hair and felt a little uneasy when she saw Xie Bingning's cold face.

"Let's eat first!" Xie Bingning pointed to the food that had just been delivered from the hotel on the table.

Su Li's attention shifted to the food, only to find the enticing aroma wafting into her nostrils. Her stomach rumbled involuntarily. "Okay, thank you."

She carefully ate her food, bite by bite, glancing at Xie Bingning every now and then, before finally wolfing it down.

Just as Su Li finished eating, the doorbell rang.

"Bingning, you miss me that much..."

Qin Ge saw Su Li as soon as she entered the room, and paused for a moment, "Who is she?"

When did Xie Bingning become so sensible, so proactive and eager to find him a new partner?

"How is it you?!"

Su Li recognized Qin Ge at a glance and practically jumped up from her chair.

"You know me?" Qin Ge looked at Su Li with suspicion, searching his memory, but he couldn't recall knowing such a beautiful woman!

The voice does sound somewhat familiar...

"You...you're not that beggar, are you?"

Seeing Xie Bingning and Su Li's reactions, Qin Ge was surprised, "It really is!"

This... is a bit hard to imagine.

Why does it feel like I missed something?

"It's me." Su Li blushed slightly. "But I'm not a beggar. My name is Su Li. Thank you again for saving me."

Her gaze darted back and forth. "You two know each other?"

Qin Ge said strangely, "Dressed like that, and scavenging for food in the trash can, what else could you be but a beggar?"

"That's really strange. Such a beautiful woman, why did she end up as a beggar?"

"I told you I'm not a beggar!" Su Li explained again, "I only fell into that state because I was hiding from being tracked down!"

"Do you two really know each other?"

"So saving me was your idea? Why are you helping me?"

Thinking back to her first meeting with Qin Ge made her feel embarrassed. She had indeed made herself look disheveled to avoid being recognized, but she really had no choice; she couldn't avoid looking disheveled even if she wanted to.

"Okay, you're not a beggar, you're a stunning beauty, a gorgeous, elegant woman, alright?"

"But it was Bing Ning who saved you, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, thank her!"

Qin Ge looked at Xie Bingning, "Why did you bring her back?"

"You sent me here just to show me how beautiful the beggar I met is?"

"Stop pretending." Xie Bingning pulled Qin Ge down to sit. "You were the one who told me to watch over her. If it weren't for you, who would have saved her?"

Her voice was extremely soft, almost like a coquettish plea, but it also sounded a bit stiff. "Please help her. She's not from the Moyi Hall, and she's genuinely in trouble."

"Stop asking for any benefits. I'll grant you whatever you want."

"No, no, no!" Su Li waved her hands frantically, "You've already saved my life, so if he has any conditions, I should be the one to meet them."

"I do have nothing right now, but if you can really help me get back to the Su family, I'll do my best to give you whatever you want!"

"The Su family?" Qin Ge asked thoughtfully. "Tell me first, who are those people chasing you, and why do they want to capture you?"

Su Li's temperament is rare among ordinary people; it is mostly due to her noble birth and pampered upbringing.

"I am Su Zhengze's daughter from the Su Group..." Su Li then recounted her experience truthfully. It wasn't that she easily trusted people, but rather that there was no need to be wary.

These two people in front of her were her only hope. As long as they stood by and did nothing, she would be doomed. What need was there for them to scheme against her?

Moreover, she heard it all; it seemed that Xie Bingning saving her was Qin Ge's idea, and this person wasn't as cold-hearted as she had imagined.

Su Li's mother passed away many years ago, and her grandfather also passed away three months ago. As a result, the power of the Su family naturally fell into the hands of her father, Su Zhengze.

A little over a month ago, her father brought home a woman named Jiang Yingrong. Although Su Li was not happy about it, she didn't say anything.

She could understand that her father had never remarried since her mother had passed away so many years ago.

However, her father had not remarried all these years, and she assumed it was because her father loved her mother too much. In addition, her grandfather had just passed away not long ago, so she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

However, her current predicament was brought upon her by that woman named Jiang Yingrong!

The night before last, Jiang Yingrong arranged to meet Su Li.

Su Li found it strange, but didn't think too much about it and went to keep the appointment.

When she met Jiang Yingrong, she saw another woman, who was about the same age as her and looked exactly like her!

Jiang Yingrong's daughter, Jiang Lingyu.

Su Li learned that Jiang Yingrong wanted her dead so that her daughter Jiang Lingyu could take her place!
