And the moment they came in.

Outside the window, Xu Wuning landed steadily, untied the rope from her waist, and ran along the path.

A short while later.

The bodyguard's voice came from the living room, "Mr. Lu, we haven't found any rooms on the first floor."

"Mr. Lu, there's no one on the second floor either."

"There aren't any on the third floor either."

Lu Jingci went to the bedroom and took a look, but no one was there.

His gaze grew increasingly dark, and his hands beneath his sleeves clenched into tight fists, his knuckles almost digging into his flesh.

Suddenly.

A bodyguard rushed over: "Mr. Lu, there's a rope by the window on the side of the villa!"

He swallowed hard, his voice lowering further: "Miss Xu must have... run away."

Lu Jingci strode over, looked out the window, and stared intently at the dark green rope hanging there.

Below the rope was a garden, the garden fence of which had been opened with a key, leading to a path.

He smiled.

But that smile was cruel and terrifying, his deep eyes were covered with a thick layer of ink, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they seemed about to grind to powder.

"Xu Wuning, fine, very well, you're playing me again, aren't you?"

Li Chuan trembled with fright.

He rarely admires anyone, but Miss Xu is definitely the most outstanding one.

I feel like President Lu is going crazy.

……

the other side.

More than an hour later.

Xu Wuning sat in the restaurant, eating her meal slowly and deliberately.

Xiao Ke sat there, feeling extremely uneasy. "Seriously? You dare to come here to eat so openly? They're going to come and arrest you again soon. Don't you have any sense of being a fugitive?"

Xu Wuning: "So what? We can't just starve to death, can we? Besides, Lu Jingci can't keep an eye on us all the time; he has to go to the company."

"He's probably really angry this time, he needs to calm down."

"Besides, there are too many people around in this area during the day, so he'll definitely have to maintain his gentle and refined persona and will probably only come out to arrest me at night."

"By the way, as the system, what are your plans for this small world? Tang Susu has no love story anymore, so what are your plans?"

Xiao Ke thought for a while and said, "I think that although Tang Susu doesn't like Jiang Xu'an anymore, it doesn't mean that Jiang Xu'an doesn't like Tang Susu."

"We can meet Jiang Xu'an and show him Tang Susu's photos. If the male lead falls for the female lead, the plot can develop normally. Then, we can go abroad or leave the small world to get away from Lu Jingci, that crazy villain."

"You can arrange to meet Jiang Xu'an first and ask him about the situation."

Xu Wuning put down her chopsticks: "Me? Meet Jiang Xu'an now? Aren't you afraid Lu Jingci will go even crazier?"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to me if he found out, given his terrifyingly yandere nature?"

Xiao Ke scratched his head: "But we can't just ignore the male and female leads forever. It's okay, we can just hide after we meet Jiang Xu'an."

"Besides, didn't you say that Lu Jingci had to go to the company? It's impossible for him to have seen it by chance, right?"

Thinking about it, Xiao Ke burst into tears: "More importantly, if the male and female leads don't end up together, the entire small world will be in chaos. When I return to the system station, I'll definitely be ridiculed to death. At that point, I won't live anymore..."

"If you don't help me, I really have no other choice. What should I do?"

Xu Wuning patted its head: "Alright, alright, stop crying, I'll help you, okay?"

"Do you have any masks and hats in your system space? I need to disguise myself to avoid being recognized."

Xiao Ke: Yes, yes, yes.

A few minutes later, Xu Wuning dressed herself up so much that even her parents probably wouldn't recognize her before she sent a message to Jiang Xu'an.

-

An hour later.

Jiang Xu'an arrived at the restaurant and looked around, but did not see Xu Wuning.

Until Xu Wuning lifted her hat, revealing her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Senior, over here."

Jiang Xu'an's gaze softened, and he quickly walked over, smiling, "Ningning, what game are you playing? Why are you wearing a mask? I almost didn't recognize you."

"Did you need something from me, Ningning?"

Xu Wuning cleared her throat, opened her mouth, then closed it again, unsure how to begin.

She felt like she was playing matchmaker, and that she was invading Jiang Xu'an and Tang Susu's privacy.

"Senior?" Her voice was muffled behind her mask, indistinct.

"Um?"

Xu Wuning mustered her strength, suddenly looked up at him, and spoke rapidly, "This might be a bit presumptuous, but you said during the truth or dare game at the bar that you had someone you liked. Do you still have someone now?"

Jiang Xu'an's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Wuning handed over Tang Susu's photo. "Here's a picture of her. You can take a look and see if she's your type."

She kept handing over the photo, but Jiang Xu'an didn't take it.

"Ningning."

Jiang Xu'an suddenly called her name, his tone filled with indescribable tenderness and affection:

"I should have kept your relationship with Lu Jingci a secret."

"But Ningning, since you asked..."

A bittersweet smile curved his lips. "Then I'll say it. Actually, I've always liked you, Ningning. I like you a lot."

"However, I still wish you happiness. As for me, I'm not planning on dating right now."

"I have something to do at the company, so I'll head back now, Ningning."

In an instant.

Xiao Ke's shocked shout echoed in his mind: "Holy crap, what?! What did he say? He likes you?!"

"What did you do to deserve this? Why does the male lead like you too?"

"What exactly did you do while I was gone? Why is the storyline of this world such a mess?"

"The sky has fallen, host, my sky has completely collapsed..."

Jiang Xu'an left, and Xu Wuning was stunned.

Only Xiao Ke went mad.

It had never encountered such a difficult problem before.

The plot of the small world is completely messed up.

In the end, it became completely withdrawn, hiding in Xu Wuning's mind, drawing circles, and remaining silent.

-

Lu's Group.

Li Chuan knocked on the door and walked in, steeling herself.

He stammered, his palms sweating, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, I have good news and bad news."

"The bad news is that, despite the large number of people coming and going in broad daylight, we haven't been able to find Miss Xu yet."

"But the good news is, you don't have any rivals anymore, you know that?"

His voice became agitated: "The people you sent to keep an eye on Jiang Xu'an a while ago just took some photos. Jiang Xu'an met a girl today; she was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and she might be a celebrity."

"Jiang Xu'an's gaze is so gentle; he probably likes that girl and doesn't like Miss Xu anymore."

"So you see, don't be too angry, things aren't that bad."

While comforting her, Li Chuan respectfully placed the photos on the table.

Lu Jingci glanced at it indifferently.

Suddenly, his gaze turned sinister as he lowered his eyes and stared intently at the person in the photograph.

He grabbed the photo, crumpled it in his palm, and threw it on the corner of the table.

His once gentle demeanor shattered completely, his eyes turning sinister and ruthless as he forced out three words: "Xu, Wu, Ning".

Li Chuan was so frightened that her pupils dilated and she took several steps back.

What? This is Miss Xu?

How did Mr. Lu recognize him when he was so well hidden?

What's even more alarming is that Miss Xu just ran away from President Lu, so why did she go to see Jiang Xu'an right afterward?

Oh no, oh no, I'm going crazy, I'm completely insane now.

……

evening.

Xu Wuning got out of the car wearing a mask and a baseball cap.

She's dressed so discreetly, who could recognize her?

She was humming a song as she headed to her new villa, which was registered under Su Wanyue's name. Who could possibly find out?

I just reached the corner.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and covered Xu Wuning's mouth from behind, while another hand tightly restrained her waist.

The cold touch of her fingers sent a shiver through Xu Wuning.

Immediately afterwards, she was pressed firmly against the wall in the alley outside the villa.

In the bottomless darkness.

The man's lips pressed against Xu Wu Ning's earlobe, and his cold, morbid voice rang out, "Ning Ning, is it good?"

"I ask you, how does it feel to have toyed with me and then abandoned me time and time again...?"

"That feels so good..."
