The person sitting under the bamboo forest was wearing a strange silver mask. The whole mask only had two small openings for the eyes. The pale silver and black eye holes looked even more eerie in the dark night, making people shudder.
Although she couldn’t see his face, Jiang Rui knew that it was Ling Yuan. At this time, he was not at all gentle and elegant during the day. His whole body revealed a kind of madness and coldness from the inside out. Although he was injured, he looked even more violent and manic, like a wild beast that was completely enraged.
Jiang Rui was not surprised when she saw him like this. She had always felt that Ling Yuan looked a bit inconsistent. If this was his true face, then the previous violation could be explained, and it seemed that his legs did not need the help of a wheelchair.
In just a few breaths of thinking, his murderous aura became stronger and stronger. With Jiang Rui’s keen senses, she could almost see the murderous aura condensed into substance, cutting toward her like sharp lines.
Jiang Rui knew that he really wanted to kill someone at this time. The reason why he didn’t do it immediately was probably because he was waiting for an opportunity.
She could feel another group of guards walking past the bamboo forest in the distance. He should have noticed it too, so he didn’t want to alert the enemy and attract more people.
Before he actually took action, Jiang Rui spoke as if she didn’t notice the murderous intention and said carefully, slightly panicked: “Who, who is there?”
She couldn’t let him really take action. Although he couldn’t kill her, it would expose her skills and make everything she had done in the past few years go to waste.
In front of a person who was so wary and dangerous, if you want to dispel his murderous intention, you can only make yourself appear harmless, but sometimes being harmless is not enough. Perhaps you should also appear weak, so weak that he doesn’t bother to take action.
She swallowed softly and asked again, “Why are you sitting here alone?”
The other party had not answered, but what could be noticed was that after she asked these two sentences, the murderous aura that had been increasing finally stopped increasing.
Although it has not dissipated, it seemed that he was not ready to take action immediately. Perhaps he had already judged that the person coming was too weak to pose any threat to him.
This made Jiang Rui feel a little relieved. It was not that she was glad that she had escaped, but that she found that although Ling Yuan looked violent and cold, fortunately, he was not yet murderous.
If he had become a cold-blooded weapon that only knew about killing and had no humanity at all, then she may have to reconsider this mission. (T/N: Old Eight: No, no, wife, I’m harmless!)
“You–”
“Leave here!”
When she was about to ask another question, the other party suddenly made a sound. The voice was terrifying as if it didn’t come from his throat, and it didn’t feel like a spring breeze at all.
Jiang Rui shrank as if frightened and subconsciously took two steps back.
“Who is there?” A vigilant inquiry came from outside the forest. It was the guard.
Jiang Rui looked at Ling Yuan. He was still sitting still, but his aura was a little more alert than before.
There was a rustling sound outside the bamboo forest. It seemed that the guards had noticed something strange and wanted to go inside to investigate.
Jiang Rui suddenly walked a few steps outside. She could feel a line of sight from behind her falling on her and a vague murderous intent. The other party probably had murderous intent again.
“Guard Zhou, it’s me!” Jiang Rui said loudly before the guards entered.
The leader of this team of guards today is Guard Zhou, who was often mentioned by the maids in the mansion. Among the many guards, he could be regarded as young and promising, brave and handsome, and was the best candidate for a husband. It was a pity that he always loved to flirt with women and had some problems with his character.
