  At dawn, Sikong Shan woke up.

  When she opened her eyes, she was stunned to see the noble man sitting in her room.

  Was she seeing things?

  She blinked and looked closely. Seeing the man looking at her with a faint smile, Sikong Shan’s heartbeat sped up.

  “Crown Prince?”


  “You’re awake?”


  Seeing that his tone was gentle and elegant, unlike his usual coldness, happiness filled Sikong Shan’s eyes.

  “When did Your Highness come?”


  “A while ago. I came to discuss the wedding with you.”


  Sikong Shan sat up from the bed and looked at Ye Jie in disbelief. “You’re willing to do it?”


  “Do I have a choice?”


  Sikong Shan walked to his side with a smile. “Okay, let’s get married earlier then. I’ll go tell the rest now. We’ll hold the ceremony later.”


  Sikong Shan quickly left the stone house.

  Ye Jie did not move but glanced into the room with cold eyes, hearing Sikong Ling’s words from last night.

  “The confidential documents Sikong Shan is holding are in a thumb drive. She always puts important things under her pillow every night before going to bed.”


  Ye Jie went to the bed, picked up the pillow, and took out a small black thumb drive from the pillowcase.

  Sikong Shan returned to the stone house after informing the head of the family and Lan Yue about her wedding in high spirits.

  Ye Jie sat on the chair, drinking his tea slowly.

  Sikong Shan walked toward him and was about to jump into his arms when hurried footsteps sounded outside.

  There was a knock on the door and Sikong Shan frowned unhappily.

  Opening the door, she saw that it was the patriarch and squeezed out a smile. “What’s the matter?”


  “Your brother is missing, and…” The head of the family looked up at the man who had walked behind Sikong Shan.

  The man grabbed Sikong Shann’s neck at lightning speed and something sharp was pressed against her aorta.

  Sikong Shan’s mind went blank, but she reacted very quickly.

  “My brother, Bo Cixue, and the rest have escaped?”


  The man behind her said nothing.

  At the thought of his abnormal behavior this morning, Sikong Shan realized his purpose and her pupils constricted.

  “Sikong Ling betrayed his sister!”


  Sikong Shan closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes cold. “You can’t leave even if you took the thumb drive away. So what if you threaten me? At most, I’ll die here. But I’ll make sure you die with me.”


  “Since we can’t be husband and wife while we’re alive. Let’s be a couple as ghosts.”


  Sikong Shan knew very well that they could not catch up to Bo Cixue now.

  Since Ye Jie was here, she would not let him leave!

  The patriarch looked at Sikong Shan who was being held hostage. “Your subordinates have all been drugged.”


  Sikong Shan widened his eyes, wanting to turn back to look at Ye Jie, but there was a sharp weapon held tightly against her neck.

  Ye Jie looked at the patriarch expressionlessly. “Let me go and I’ll give you more benefits than Sikong Shan!”


  Sikong Shan immediately panicked.

  Ye Jie was too good at using people’s hearts. He was sowing discord between her and the head of the family.

  Sikong Shan was about to say something when someone from the tribe suddenly ran over. “Sir, Lan Er colluded with the leader of the Chi tribe. They asked you to hand Lan Yue over or else this place will be trampled on.”


  The Patriarch’s expression changed.

  They were divided into three villages. The Chi tribe had always wanted to swallow this place. The last time they fought was three years ago. At that time, Lan Yue had led his people to protect this place to the death and beat them back!

  He did not expect Lan Er to become a traitor!

  “Take me there!” The head of the family looked at Ye Jie. “The people from the Chi tribe should have surrounded this place. If you work with me, come with me.”


  Ye Jie escorted Sikong Shan behind the patriarch.

  Lan Yue was fighting with the people from the Chi tribe.

  Lan Er was standing with the people from the Chi tribe, holding a seven or eight year old child hostage.

  “Lan Yue, if you dare to go any further, I’ll strangle the patriarch’s grandson to death.”


  The head of the family rushed over and his eyes turned red when he saw his grandson being held hostage by Lan Er.

  “Lan Er, you beast!”


  Lan Er laughed coldly. “Patriarch, don’t blame me. This was all your fault. I was originally the most outstanding person in the tribe, but you chose to give your power to an outsider! Lan Yue is not from here at all. I can’t accept it when you saved him and gave him your power!”


  “Today, only one of us can live. If not, I’ll raze this place to the ground!”


  “Patriarch, are you choosing your grandson or Lan Yue?”


  Lan Yue looked at the little boy who was nearly suffocated by Lan Er and said to the patriarch, “Give me to them.”


  The head of the family shook his head. “Yue, no…”


  Before the patriarch could finish, Lan Yue threw down the weapon in his hand and walked toward Lan Er.

  Lan Er pushed the little boy to the head of the family. He was about to stab Lan Yue when he felt a pain in his wrist.

  Ye Jie had thrown a stone at his wrist that was holding the weapon.

  Lan Yue took the opportunity to pick up the weapon Lan Er had dropped and kicked him to the ground.

  It was another chaotic fight.

  However, no one expected Lan Er to drug someone from his own tribe.

  Seeing this, the patriarch pulled Lan Yue away.

  The leader of the Chi tribe picked up his bow and shot an arrow.

  The head of the family took the arrow for Lan Yue.

  Lan Yue’s eyes turned red.

  He was about to go all out against the other party when the patriarch gritted his teeth and pushed him away.

  The head of the family brought Lan Yue, Ye Jie, and the rest to the basement dug out under the stone house.

  “Mr Ye, Lan Yue knows the way out. I don’t have any other requests. I just ask that you give him and my grandson a way out after he takes you out!”


  Ye Jie looked at the patriarch who had fallen to the ground and nodded with a dark expression. “I wasn’t the one who drugged them.”


  “I know. Mr. Ye doesn’t look like he would harm any innocent people. It’s that traitor Lan Er!”


  The patriarch heard the noise outside and urged them, “Leave quickly!”


  Lan Yue refused to leave, his eyes red.

  The head of the family pushed him hard. “Yue, although you’re not a member of our tribe, I’ve always treated you as my own child. After you go out, you have to take good care of Lan Nuo. If you stay, he will only die.”


  “Leave quickly, or none of you will get to leave!”


  Lan Yue knelt down and kowtowed to the head of the family three times, then carried Lan Nuo and left with Ye Jie and Sikong Shan.

  …


  Bo Cixue and the rest left the forest successfully. When it was almost dawn, she met Bo Yan, who had brought people into the forest.

  Bo Yan was surprised to see Bo Cixue.

  Knowing that Bo Cixue was fine, he instructed someone to send her to the hotel first.

  He then went to support Ye Jie with more backup.

  After Bo Cixue left the forest, she separated from Yan Bei and Sikong Ling.

  Yan Bei had not completed his mission and was about to return home. Meanwhile, Sikong Ling was detained by Bo Yan’s men and would deal with Ye Jie when he came out.

  After Bo Cixue said a few words to Sikong Ling, she was brought to the hotel by Bo Yan.

  After taking a shower at the hotel, Bo Cixue lay on the bed to sleep, exhausted.

  When she woke up, she was shocked to see Bo Yan sitting on the sofa.
