The man looked behind him, and in the next second, without any hesitation, he squatted down and carried her on his back, running towards a safe place.

Du Ruqing looked through the moonlight at the man's indistinct profile. His heart inexplicably trembled at that instant.

After running for who knows how long, the two of them had already climbed over the hill to the outside by the time Du Liqing was put down.

She sized up the man. His handsome, angular face had a pair of black eyes on the bridge of his nose. He looked very refined, but it didn't hide his heroic spirit.

"My mission is complete. You are safe." The man's voice suddenly sounded, then he pointed to a black Mercedes-Benz at the side, "This car will take you safely into the city."

Du Liqing's eyes swept over the Mercedes-Benz in front of him. He couldn't help but frown, "This is your car?"

"No." The man replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. Just as he was about to get on the car, he saw that Du Liqing was still as motionless as a statue.

"If we don't leave now, they'll catch up."

Hearing this, Du Liqing suddenly jumped into the car. The man looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

The car slowly drove away. Du Ruqing looked over and gently said, "Thank you. I still don't know your name."

"Lu Juyan, the headquarter teacher of this village." Lu Juyan pursed his lips. "You don't need to thank me. Someone hired me to save you, so I'm only taking money to do some work."

Someone had spent money to save her, could it be Jiang Yuan?

Du Liqing immediately wanted to contact her husband.

She hesitated for a moment and then said, embarrassed, "Um, can I borrow your cell phone for a moment? I want to contact my family... "

Her cell phone had been searched long ago.

Lu Juyan didn't say anything. He just looked at her strangely, then took out his phone from his pocket and handed it over.

Du Ruqing skillfully typed in a string of numbers and soon a sound came from the other side. However, she couldn't hear clearly in the noisy environment.

However, when she told him her name, the other side suddenly hung up the phone. When she called him again, she already told him that her phone had been turned off.

Du Ruqing repeated it several times, but the voice he heard was always the same.

Jiang Yuan wouldn't really be in danger, right?

This thought made Du Ruqing's hand suddenly tremble, and her brows knit tightly together. Although it was only a slight rubbing of her hands, Lu Juyan could already see her worry and anxiety.

His black eyes stared at the rearview mirror, the driver understood what he meant with a glance, and his foot on the gas pedal couldn't help but sink a little deeper.

As if thinking of the presence of Lu Juyan in the car, Du Liqing tried his best to pull up a smile that didn't seem to be too exaggerated. He returned the phone to Du Ruqing and earnestly said, "Thank you. I'll order someone to build a Hope Primary School from the village when we get home. It will improve the children's learning environment, and at the same time repay you for saving my life."

Lu Juyan was silent, but the smile on his face still told Du Liqing that he was very pleased with this method of repaying his debt of gratitude.

Du Ruqing suddenly lowered her eyes. If Jiang Yuan hadn't saved him, who else would it be?

"I want to know, who hired you?"

He'd spoken for a long time, but had not received Lu Juyan's response. Du Liqing was a bit agitated as he suddenly grabbed his arm with both hands, his eyes shining with the light of pleading. "Can you please tell me a bit?"

Lu Juyan suddenly frowned deeply, his deep eyes full of unwillingness. His eyes, however, inadvertently glanced at the hands holding his arm.

Du Liqing followed his gaze and released it. She embarrassedly smiled at him.

"Take the money and help others. Forgive me for not being able to tell you." There was an irresistible force in Lu Juyan's words. Du Liqing sat beside him and looked sideways at him. Although he didn't know who he was, he could tell from his words and actions that he wasn't as simple as a branch teacher.

After a night of escaping and the bumpy ride of the car, Du's livid eyelids had already begun to twitch.

Lu Juyan's gaze never left the window. Just as he was thinking about something, a small head slammed heavily on his shoulder.

Lowering his eyes, he saw Du Ruqing lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.

The corners of Lu Juyan's lips curled up slightly as his slender arms took the opportunity to embrace her.

Du Liqing woke up and subconsciously looked out. Seeing the familiar buildings around him, he felt more at ease.

The arm resting beneath her head made her eyes almost pop out of their sockets as she abruptly sat up straight and curled her lips in embarrassment at Lu Juyan.

She … This was too embarrassing!

The car slowly stopped at the door as Du Liqing faced Lu Juyan and thanked him solemnly. She opened the door and her leg that was about to step out retracted back. She turned around and said to Lu Juyan, "We're at the door. Should we go in and take a seat?"

"Alright." Lu Juyan's sudden answer made Du Ruqing's eyes bulge out of their sockets. She had originally been just being polite, but she hadn't thought that Lu Juyan would agree so readily.

Du Ruqing forced a smile and walked up to the door. Just as he was about to knock, the door was ajar.

Du Liqing walked into the living room. It was very quiet, as if no one was there.

But if that was the case, why hadn't the door closed? Did Jiang Yuan forget it when he was out?

"Ah …" "Mhmm …"

At this time, faint sounds came from upstairs in the bedroom. Dudian felt his body stiffen as he swallowed his saliva. He couldn't care less as he went upstairs.

As he got closer, his voice became clearer, "Jiang Yuan, you are really awesome... "Don't..."

The woman's voice was filled with an ambiguous tone.

Du Xiangqing was startled, but his hands still couldn't help but touch the cold doorknob.

The door was ajar, and the men and women inside were happily intertwined.

Du Yun's face was ghastly pale and his expression was filled with disbelief.

I was almost raped a few hours ago, but my husband is having a good time with another woman here?

Was he even human?!

"Sun Jiangyuan!" She could not take it anymore. She pushed the door open and screamed.

When the man and woman on the bed heard the roar, they immediately stopped.

"Why are you here?" Sun Jiangyuan was the first to jump out of bed. He hurriedly put on his pants and could not help but ask.

Du Ruqing noticed that something was amiss, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean by that? "You already knew?"

Her words came to an abrupt stop as she recalled the incident from before. Could it be that her being sold had something to do with Jiang Yuan?

She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Did you do it?!"

Before he could reply, the woman on the bed had already put on Sun Jiangyuan's shirt and grabbed his waist with her long, snow-white legs. She coquettishly said, "Dearest, didn't you just say that your wife would never come back?"

In the blink of an eye, it was as if lightning had struck him.

"Sun Jiangyuan, do you deserve me for doing this?" Du Liqing could no longer control her tears.

Sun Jiangyuan looked at Du Liqing with a calm expression, coughed dryly and walked in front of her.

"Du Liqing, your man can't stand it. Who can you blame?" The woman scoffed tenderly.

Du Ruqing instantly recognized the woman in front of her. It was Yue Min, an elderly woman who relied on her man to get the position.

"This is my house, please leave immediately!"

The corner of Yue Min's mouth twitched as she looked at Du Ruqing's serious expression. However, she still hid behind Sun Jiangyuan and said coquettishly, "Jiang Yuan, look at your wife. She's so fierce. I think it's better if I leave."

After saying that, just as Yue Min was about to leave, Sun Jiangyuan held her back and said, "The one who should leave isn't you."

Sun Jiangyuan swept a glance at Du Liqing and Lu Juyan, who was following behind him, and said, "Du Liqing, did I not serve you well enough to bring a lover home? Are you unable to endure the hunger and thirst?"
