"Ouch~"

Inside the villa, Aries was sprawled on the sofa, groaning incessantly, looking like he couldn't take it anymore.

The Virgo sat opposite, her two long, straight, fair legs crossed, and said with a hint of sourness:

"The president saved your life, you should be secretly happy."

Aries, pale and bloodless. "My whole body aches, I'm in so much pain I'm cramping."

Pisces said calmly, "How could you possibly withstand the power of the guild leader right now?"

"Compared to survival, this trivial cost is insignificant."

Aries scoffed. "Everyone's just making sarcastic remarks. So you're the ones who's really suffering right now?"

Virgo scoffed. "You still have the nerve to complain after failing your mission?"

Aries perked up. "Who told you I failed my mission?"

Pisces laughed, "You're really stubborn, still putting on a brave face even in this state."

Just as Aries was about to defend himself, the villa gate opened.

Ma Yan led the girl inside.

"The person has been brought back."

Aries instantly beamed with excitement. "Come on, who just said I failed my mission?"

"I call this a two-pronged approach, a feint to the east while attacking in the west."

"You uncouth brutes cannot possibly comprehend my profound wisdom."

The girl was timidly pulled in front of the three by Ma Yan.

The Virgo sized the girl up and down.

She is quite attractive.

"May I have your name?"

The girl shook her head.

"What for?"

The girl shook her head again.

The Virgo grew impatient. "You know where you live, don't you?"

The girl continued to shake her head.

The Virgo flew into a rage. "Where did this idiot come from?"

Ma Yan explained, "She has amnesia; she's forgotten everything about her past, including her own name."

Virgo scoffed, "He's useless now, just kill him."

His two henchmen were about to make their move.

Ma Yan stepped in front of the girl. "Although she has amnesia, it doesn't mean she won't recover."

"What are Law Enforcement and the Alliance Council deliberately hiding? She's now the only person we know the truth."

As he spoke, Ma Yan glanced again at Aries was sprawled on the sofa.

"Besides, we paid such a high price to bring her back."

"People just kill you whenever they want?"

Pisces nodded thoughtfully. "That's right, she can't die yet."

"I recently activated a mole hidden within the Sea Capital Law Enforcement network, a Level Four Adjudicator."

Even he doesn't know what this Law Enforcement is about.

"Unsurprisingly, they're playing a much bigger game."

Virgo looked at Ma Yan, then suddenly smiled and said, "Since my sister wants to stay, then let her stay."

"Now that my sister has someone to take care of her, I can rest assured."

Ma Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl cautiously peeked half her head out from behind her, looking curiously at the group of people present.

She had no idea that she had just narrowly escaped death.

On the way back to the safe house, Qin Ze couldn't help but marvel once again at how terrifying Level Nine Martial Artist was.

He observed the subsequent events on the scene through a clone he left behind.

Qin Ze was more curious about the president who had been summoned by Aries.

This guy didn't even show up in his true form, yet he shattered the governor's skill with a single finger; it was practically a battle of gods.

Although the Human Race has been courting disaster, they have indeed shown some skill to have survived this long.

"It's best to avoid these high-level games in the future."

Qin Ze thought to himself.

Back at the safe house, Qin Ze saw Nangong Qianrou sitting obediently in the living room watching TV.

Hearing the sound at the door, Nangong Qianrou turned around and asked, "Where's my ice cream?"

Qin Ze slapped his forehead. "I'll go buy it for you now."

Nangong Qianrou hadn't left the safe house all day, which surprised him somewhat.

The senior student's behavior this morning indicated that she had at least regained some of her memories.

Qin Ze is completely outmatched this time.

Now that you've remembered the past, why are you still acting like a clueless kid?

Qin Ze returned from the convenience store downstairs with ice cream, Nangong Qianrou was happily eating.

After lunch, Nangong Qianrou, as always, pestered him to play games.

It just seemed a bit more unnatural compared to before.

"Senior, stop pretending. Your acting is completely off," Qin Ze suddenly said.

Nangong Qianrou was completely confused. "Acting?"

Qin Ze raised an eyebrow. "Senior, have you really forgotten all the little things we did together?"

Nangong Qianrou nodded. "I forgot."

Qin Ze pressed down on her shoulders. "Then I'll help you remember."

"Back then, when it was late at night, we would always go to the small woods on campus together."

"Now, let me recreate the scene for you and see if you can remember it."

As he spoke, Qin Ze reached out to kiss her.

As the face drew ever closer, a hint of panic flickered in Nangong Qianrou's eyes.

Moreover, Qin Ze could feel that her body was trembling slightly.

With just one centimeter left, Qin Ze released Nangong Qianrou's shoulder.

"Boring."

Throughout the entire Nangong Qianrou offered no resistance whatsoever.

However, Qin Ze was certain that she had remembered something.

There's a saying that goes, "You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."

Since Nangong Qianrou still wants to pretend to be asleep, let her be.

Watching Qin Ze go into the kitchen to prepare dinner, Nangong Qianrou breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so nervous just now that she even forgot to breathe.

During dinner, Nangong Qianrou didn't make a mess of her face like she used to.

Qin Ze looked at her and nodded, saying, "Wow, the child has grown up."

Nangong Qianrou's ears were a little red.

"I... I'm full."

She put down her chopsticks and hurried back to her bedroom.

Qin Ze sighed.

The older female students were much cuter.

In the dead of night, Qin Ze, lying in bed, was still thinking about how to get Nangong Qianrou to open her mouth.

Since she won't say anything, she must have some unspeakable reason.

Qin Ze tossed and turned in bed.

It's incredibly frustrating to have the truth right in front of you, but the other party just won't tell you. It's agonizing.

It's like reading a novel and reaching the climax, only to have the author suddenly break down and stop writing, leaving you stuck in a limbo.

"The senior student has left."

The clone guarding outside the safe house suddenly spoke on the Local Area Network.

Qin Ze quickly got up and pushed open Nangong Qianrou's door.

The blankets on the bed were folded neatly.

The window was half-open, and the curtains were gently stirred by the evening breeze.

There was a letter under the teacup on the table, the ink on the last two sentences still wet.

Qin Ze looked out the window and saw Nangong Qianrou standing under a streetlamp, turning her head at the same time.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Qin Ze saw a myriad of complex emotions in his senior's eyes.

How so?

"The night Law Enforcement will soon be covering this area."

Several clones were nearby downstairs.

They could stall Nangong Qianrou for now, waiting for Qin Ze to come out and "apprehend" her.

Qin Ze was silent for a moment before saying, "Never mind."

A forced relationship won't be sweet.

This was Nangong Qianrou's own choice.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Qin Ze standing by the window for a while, then turned and strode forward.

In the distance, three patrolling Law Enforcement walked towards us.

Nangong Qianrou waved to them.

The distance was too great for Qin Ze to hear what they were saying.

The two Law Enforcement officers cautiously looked around.

Another person is on the phone.

Soon, the Law Enforcement Team hurriedly left with Nangong Qianrou.
