"How is it going" Su Tianran held his phone, wearing pajamas while standing by the window. The clock had already struck two AM.

"He's dead. The car fell off the cliff and exploded; there's absolutely no chance of survival. And besides me, nobody else knows about this."

"That's good then. Thanks for your hard work." Su Tianran's voice carried a hint of joy as well as fatigue: "When are you coming to the capital Let's get together."

"Sure, we haven't seen each other in so many years; it would be appropriate to meet up. Wait until two months from now, though—I still have some loose ends to tie up abroad. Once I've resolved everything, I'll head for the capital."

There was a brief pause before he continued with a sigh: "It's been so long since I last went back."

Hanging up, Su Tianran took a deep breath. With Wang Zheng dead, he had one less formidable opponent to deal with. He should be happy about receiving this news, but for some reason, Su Tianran felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart recently.

Standing by the window and gazing at the night sky for a long while, Su Tianran made another call: "Deploy people to monitor all major routes into the capital city—highways, railways, airports. Carry out comprehensive checks within one month's time; report immediately upon spotting Wang Zheng."

Sheltering behind a sheltered rock formation with Wang Zheng, Song Ziyue wrapped herself in his windbreaker and nestled tightly against him. Her long lashes covered her eyes as if she were asleep, while the sound of his heartbeat could be heard.

Along time passed before Song Ziyue spoke: "Are you cold"

"Not at all." Wang Zheng smiled; Song Ziyue snuggled closer to him, her fragrant hair gently brushing against his face.

“How do you feel in my arms”

“I feel great.”

The man and woman engaged in a desultory conversation with each other as a faint warmth surrounded them both.

"Why go through this mountain road, wouldn't it be much safer if we just took the provincial highway" Song Ziyè asked Wang Zheng with some confusion. For a man who was always cautious in his actions, such behavior seemed like deliberately walking into danger.

Wang Zheng touched his nose and smiled: "There are two reasons why I chose this route. First, I wanted to have a good talk with you since there were still some doubts about you."

"Secondly, I wanted to lure out the people behind us. My intuition tells me that this situation won't end simply like this; they must have other plans in store. Indeed, we encountered an ambush on our way."

Upon hearing this, Song Ziyè stared at Wang Zheng intently and said: "If I were orchestrating all of this, would you just push me off the cliff"

"Really" Wang Zheng spoke frankly: "I definitely wouldn't. After all, you saved my life once. And with how beautiful you are, how could I bear to throw you down there."

Hearing these words, a satisfied smile appeared on Song Ziyè's face; but then she heard Wang Zheng say: "At the very least, I would have to make a pass at you before throwing you off."

This made Song Ziyè’s cheeks turn red. She was curled up in Wang Zheng's arms and used her head to hit him hard twice, causing him to laugh heartily.

"So were you trying to crash the car on purpose" Song Ziyè lifted her head and asked: "Was it to create a false impression of death for them"

“Yes. Sometimes, being dead might be safer than living.”

After pausing momentarily, Wang Zheng continued: “In reality, I didn’t deliberately let the car crash either; this was my only option. Up until now, there's still one thing that puzzles me: If they had been lying in wait for a long time and even had sniper rifles, why aim at our tires instead of taking a direct shot at my head"

“Perhaps,” Song Ziyè said with a furrowed brow, “the people behind us wanted to have some fun with you.”

"From what we can see right now, this is the only plausible explanation."

As Wang Zheng spoke, he began rummaging around Song Ziyè’s waist.

"What are you doing" Song Ziyè's face flushed slightly: "Not here, it's a bit cold."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was taken aback for a moment and then burst into laughter while looking at Song Ziyè: “Where did that come from If I wanted to do something like that, I would have done so in the car. Why wait until now”

Song Ziyè was both shy and angry, and said indignantly, "Then what do you want to do"

"I'm looking for your phone," Wang Zheng continued his search carefully. He had to admit that Song Ziyè's waist was soft and felt incredibly good.

"It fell down with the car earlier." When Wang Zheng’s large hand touched her, Song Ziyè didn’t dare move anymore.

"That’s good," said Wang Zheng as he took out his own phone and turned it off directly.

"Why did you turn off your phone instead of calling for help" Song Ziyè was puzzled by Wang Zheng's actions.

"I’m afraid that seeking help might expose us. If I'm not mistaken, there are people still monitoring this cliff right now. As soon as anything happens, we will definitely be discovered. Let’s keep our signals silent; better safe than sorry."

"To ensure your safety and return to the capital safely with you, I have to be careful," said Wang Zheng.

"Alright." Song Ziyè pressed her face against Wang Zheng's chest, feeling his vigorous heartbeat. Her heart was intoxicated by it.

If the Song family saw their eldest Miss Song Ziyè showing such a gentle side of herself, they would surely be shocked to the core. Privately, these people referred to Song Ziyè as an old maid; how often had they seen her display this tender demeanor toward a man

"However, it will take at least seven to eight days for me to lead you out of these mountains," said Wang Zheng's hand pressing on Song Ziyè’s waist. "Traversing the mountain trails is no easy feat; I don't know if you can endure this hardship."

After huddling up half the night, Song Ziyè indeed felt some soreness in her waist and legs. But she didn’t expect that after Wang Zheng pressed on her waist a couple of times, all the pain vanished, leaving her feeling incredibly refreshed.

"Only seven to eight days If you can endure it, I certainly can too," said Song Ziyè unexpectedly feeling a sense of unspoken disappointment upon hearing this timeframe.

However, these seven to eight days were already a luxurious amount of time for her. Once back in the capital, could she still be so close with Wang Zheng If she really threw herself into his embrace, then perhaps even the entire Song family would have to disown her.

The Song family had been staunch supporters of Su Fuhua over the years and were under his protection. However, Wang Zheng was clearly opposing the Su faction at Su Fuhua’s birthday banquet. If something romantic happened between Song Ziyè and Wang Zheng now, it would definitely be seen as betraying their side. For the sake of the Su family, her seemingly righteous father would surely distance himself from her if she were to involve him because of this relationship. She didn’t want to see her entire family suffer due to her feelings.

Whether it was family ties or love, Song Ziyè did not wish to lose either.

Song Ziyè was well aware that Wang Zheng had Zhang Mingqi and Shangguan Shishi around him, and perhaps even Sheng Fei and Han Xingye. Although there were no substantial relationships between them, these women would inevitably develop some kind of emotional connection with Wang Zheng. This man was indeed too captivating to resist. Song Ziyè knew that just like others, this romance was destined to have no outcome.

However, Song Ziyè did not want to give up.

In fact, Song Ziyè's feelings for Wang Zheng weren't sudden at all. Although it wasn’t until the Su family patriarch’s birthday banquet that she officially met Wang Zheng for the first time, she had been keeping an eye on this man for quite some time before that. Since he arrived in Beijing, the stagnant political landscape was quietly undergoing changes. Even though things seemed calm on the surface, there were already intense undercurrents brewing, and who knew when a sudden storm would erupt.

A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon can cause a hurricane in Texas two weeks later. Wang Zheng, without question, was the instigator of this Beijing butterfly effect.

Having watched him for so long, Song Ziyè naturally felt curious about this mysterious man. However, she never expected that her first encounter with him would shock her heart and quietly plant a seed in it.

Standing at the center of a crowd, he was domineering yet charismatic; when General Wang Fanghe stood up for Wang Zheng, Song Ziyè didn't realize then that she had already been smitten.

When traveling to Ningxia, Song Ziyè actually did not need to sit directly opposite Wang Zheng as it would make her too conspicuous. However, she inexplicably bought a seat right across from him. The reason behind this decision, even she herself couldn't explain clearly, perhaps she hadn’t seriously considered the reasons.

When Wang Zheng was alone in the tank district facing several snipers, Song Ziyè was indeed concerned. But when he performed his spectacular counter-sniper operation, all she could think about was how mesmerizing this man truly was.

With so many people unable to assassinate Wang Zheng, Song Ziyè had no high hopes for those bombs either. Deep down, she believed that Wang Zheng was invincible; even if the bomb exploded, he would live on unscathed.

At this moment, Song Ziyè made up her mind: Regardless of what happened in the future, she couldn’t break ties with him for the sake of her family. She had to leave a backdoor open for her father and the entire clan.

If one day he turned his gun against them, no one could stop this former and current Chinese military powerhouse.

When Wang Zheng was swinging through the air with her in tow, Song Ziyè's heart was utterly captivated, trembling uncontrollably.

The suitors she usually encountered were either wealthy second-generation officials or successful bachelors. However, none of them had ever made her feel like this man did; Song Ziyè always looked down on the suitors with high standards and expectations, but this time, she was deeply enchanted by him.

Having made up her mind, Song Ziyè decided to cherish these precious days alone together. Afterward, regardless of what happened in the world, at least there would be a shining memory etched in her heart.
