In the blink of an eye, Gu En had vanished in the car from everyone’s sight.
"This Gu En really is the fiercest woman I’ve ever encountered in my whole life!" someone chuckled, then got in their car.
"Mr. Ding, perhaps you should go ahead, I’ll accompany Miss He down." Ding Long’s partner chose to stay with He Zhilan after seeing the situation. Ding Long is the kind of person who can be said to have no heart, he just shrugged without saying a word and followed the others down the mountain in his car.
"Thank you." He Zhilan truly hadn’t expected Ding Long’s partner to stay and walk down with her.
He Zhilan may have grown up in the countryside, but she’d never walked on this desolate mountain late at night. There was no house in sight; the only light was the moon above her head. He Zhilan couldn’t help but feel scared, but she would rather walk down than ride in Gu En’s car.
"You really should thank me. Otherwise, you’d have a tough time going down alone," the girl said, neatly tying her hair into a ponytail before helping He Zhilan. "Did you offend Miss Gu En somehow?"
He Zhilan felt quite dizzy at that moment. "Are you suggesting Gu En intentionally made trouble for me tonight? But... we are roommates, bunkmates. Her cousin and my brother are comrades, she wouldn’t deliberately make trouble for me, right?"
"Your brother is Li’s comrade? He didn’t happen to be the one who saved Li, did he?" the girl questioned.
"How did you know?" He Zhilan was shocked.
"Ha ha, the circle is so small, how could I not know? Many of my clients have mentioned that Li was saved by his comrade, so it’s normal for me to know!" The girl was very open about her occupation, pausing before continuing, "Given all that, Miss Gu En probably didn’t mean to upset you. Everyone knows how much Miss Gu En clings to Li. Since your brother saved her brother, she should be thankful to you!"
"Gu En, she..." He Zhilan bit her lip, deciding not to say anything more, after all, she wasn’t close to the girl.
"Miss Gu En is moody and unpredictable. She probably felt offended because she fancies herself as an excellent driver, yet you were scared . It would’ve hurt her pride, so she left you here," the girl said.
After thinking a while, He Zhilan figured it might be as the girl suggested. Even the "slut" Gu En mentioned could laugh and chat easily with others after getting out of the car, while she, as Gu En’s partner, was paralyzed in fear without any poise, sitting on the hay bales and vomiting uncontrollably. Gu En, being such a proud person, surely felt embarrassed.
He Zhilan sighed, "I am really useless."
"Any normal person would react their first time." The girl patted He Zhilan on the shoulder, smiling, "Don’t let my calmness fool you. You don’t know that the first time I experienced this, I fainted and was sent to the hospital for a week. They kept messing with me because I was scared, and they kept bringing me along. The second time I went out, I had even prepared my will. But in the end, I was fine and now, I’ve gotten used to it!"
He Zhilan looked sympathetically at the girl beside her. Ding Long and the others were her clients, she didn’t even have the right to refuse them. So she had to prepare her will, ready for the death that could arrive at any moment?
The two of them whispered to each other. Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. However, by this time, Gu En and the others had long since driven away, leaving only Liu Jiang leaning against the car, smoking a cigarette and waiting for them.
