After Wen Ruhua gave these little bandits a good scare, he turned around to look at Ning Shu. Stretching his hand out towards her, he said coldly, “Cousin, come here.”
Do I look stupid? Ning Shu took a step back. There was only the river behind her so she had nowhere else to retreat to.
Wen Ruhua grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. His voice sounded hypnotic as he softly said, “Bai Qinxiang, come here. Are you asking me to personally go over there to catch you?”
“Are you waiting for your guard?” Wen Ruhua then said coldly, “I’ll be able to catch you before he even gets close.”
He started walking over with his sword. Ning Shu immediately said, “Don’t come over here! If you take another step, I’ll jump! I really will!”
“Based on how much you love wealth and influence, there’s no way you’d be able to bear killing yourself.” Wen Ruhua didn’t even pause. He clearly understood Bai Qinxiang very well.
Ning Shu’s face filled with panic as she lifted her skirt and shouted, “Stay away! I… I really will jump.”
Wen Ruhua was no longer like before. He wasn’t a lone scholar and now had a lot of subordinates, so there was no way she could beat him.
She felt that she had been acting like a fool and courting death. If it weren’t for the fact that she currently had the skin of a female lead, her grave probably would already be covered by grass that was two feet tall.
“Wen Ruhua, I’m really going to jump! F*ck, I really am jumping!” shouted Ning Shu as she clenched her hands around her skirt.
Wen Ruhua just sneered.
Ning Shu took a deep breath. She knew that she couldn’t allow herself to fall into Wen Ruhua’s hands. If she did, she would probably be reduced to following the original storyline and being tormented by Wen Ruhua. Now that he had so many bandits under his command, based on how much he loathed her, he’d probably make her serve these bandits like a prostitute.
When Ning Shu’s thoughts arrived at this point, she no longer hesitated and leaped into the river. She choked on some water, but when she surfaced, she could hear Wen Ruhua bellowing, “Bai Qinxiang, I won’t let you off even if you die!”
“Miss!?” The hidden guard appeared.
If you had freakin’ appeared just a second earlier, she wouldn’t have had to jump!
The rapids were very strong, so Ning Shu disappeared in a few seconds. The hidden guard immediately went to search along the river. Meanwhile, Wen Ruhua shouted towards the bandits, “Find her! Even if she dies, I want to see her corpse! Bai Qinxiang, you wretch!”
The slaps of the waves hurt as she did her best to keep her body above water. When Ning Shu recalled that Mu Yanmeng had jumped into the river, injured, right after a miscarriage, she felt that her choice wasn’t that desperate at all.
From the start, Wen Ruhua was a very flawed person with a sh*tty personality. If he had been in the modern world, he definitely would’ve become a terrorist and threatened the stability of society. As of now, he had become a bandit, so he would probably cause a disturbance wherever he went in the name of justice.
It was seriously disgusting.
After doggy paddling for a while, she was completely exhausted. A hard undercurrent crashed into her. It was so painful that it felt like her body was being torn apart, so she passed out.
When she woke up, she had been washed ashore, but half of her body was still being soaked in the water. Fortunately, she had survived, but wasn’t she supposed to be in the godly doctor’s house right now?
Why was she just dumped here?
They were both female leads, why was the treatment so different?
Ning Shu tried moving and felt bit of pain. There was a gash on her arm, probably left by a submerged reef.
She looked around and saw that there was someone nearby. He was sitting next to the river in a white outfit and seemed to be fishing.
Ning Shu immediately shouted, “Hero, please save me!”
The man turned around and glanced at Ning Shu, then picked up his fishing rod and his bamboo basket to walk away.
Fudge, she had never seen such a heartless person.
