Chapter 137 Stop Pretending to Be a Good Person
Mo Qingcheng's voice was like a cold wind, bringing an ominous premonition. Qin Reng's face darkened, and he turned around abruptly, his hands clenched into fists, clearly enraged. But just as he was about to retort, Yu Yuetong spoke first.
"Oh, Young Master Mo, what brings you here to act out a police-catching-adultery drama?" Her tone was flippant and tinged with mockery.
Mo Qingcheng's fake smile vanished, and he changed the subject: "What, can't you even see that? I'm doing this for your safety."
Qin Reng glared at him: "Stop pretending to be a good person. We know exactly what you're up to."
Mo Qingcheng shrugged innocently, a playful smile curving his lips. "Whether it's scheming or not, you'll find out in time. But I sincerely suggest that you two communicate more and stop arguing every day to avoid hurting your relationship."
This half-hearted piece of advice was like a dull knife, slowly and mercilessly piercing the hearts of Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong. They exchanged a glance, a fighting spirit igniting in each other's eyes, and tacitly stood on the same side.
"Thank you for the compliment, but we get along very well, no need for you to worry." Yu Yuetong replied, while cautiously moving closer to Qin Reng, her hands unconsciously clenching. He sensed her movement, turned slightly to the side, and nodded coldly, signaling her to calm down.
Mo Qingcheng's cunning eyes scanned back and forth as he said, "That's good. Don't regret it after my plan succeeds."
Yu Yuetong sneered, "Mo Qingcheng, you should have a bottom line. Don't think we can't see through your little tricks." With that, she grabbed Qin Reng's wrist and gestured for him to leave.
Qin Reng felt the coldness in her palms, knowing that beneath her tough exterior, she was actually starting to panic. He gently squeezed the back of her hand to comfort her. The two ignored Mo Qingcheng and turned to leave.
However, just as they took a few steps, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind them. Mo Qingcheng, who had been leisurely chatting and laughing just moments before, suddenly appeared like a ghost, a cold glint flashing in his hand.
Qin Reng reacted quickly, immediately shielding Yu Yuetong behind him with his body. The dagger barely grazed his neck, leaving a bloody gash. Yu Yuetong screamed in surprise and instinctively reached out to snatch Mo Qingcheng's weapon.
But Mo Qingcheng was even faster. With a cold laugh, he threw a lightning-fast punch, aiming a palm strike at the back of Yu Yuetong's neck. Just at that critical moment, Qin Reng swung his leg, barely managing to dodge the attack.
"You're insane!" Qin Reng gritted his teeth, his steel teeth almost breaking. "I won't let you get away with this!"
Even after being exposed, Mo Qingcheng remained calm and composed. "Whether you let me go or not is no longer important." His tone was laced with sarcasm. "You can decide for yourselves."
Just as Yu Yuetong thought they would be surrounded by other factions, Qin Reng gave chase, his eyes fierce like a beast. His movements were swift and precise, forcing Mo Qingcheng back.
Just then, Mo Qingcheng suddenly stopped, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he had gained some kind of advantage. Immediately afterward, the sound of sirens drifted from afar, faintly suggesting some kind of rescue operation.
"You guys got lucky this time." Mo Qingcheng said sullenly, then quickly fled under the cover of night.
Yu Yuetong supported the injured Qin Reng, watching the chaotic black figure disappear into the night. She gritted her teeth, her heart churning with complex emotions, and decided not to give this dangerous man another chance.
In the darkness, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating. Qin Reng felt as if the entire night sky was staring at them, the coldness and silence making his wounds ache even more. Filled with regret and unease, he could only hold Yu Yuetong's hand tightly. He had no time to care about his own pain; all he could think about was protecting her.
"This isn't good, is it? You seem to be bleeding." Yu Yuetong's eyes showed a hint of panic, her bright gaze now appearing somewhat helpless. Even though she was panicking inside, she maintained a calm expression. "Should I bandage it for you?"
Qin Reng said in a low voice, "It's nothing, this little injury is nothing, just a minor one." Although his words were understated, his furrowed brows betrayed his unease.
She insisted on treating his wounds, her heart overflowing with tenderness. "Don't be stubborn, it's not the first time this has happened." Her fingers gently brushed against the bloodstains on his neck, the touch cool.
Qin Reng was momentarily stunned. Although this scene wasn't uncommon, at this moment, this tenderness was like spring water melting ice, smoothing away countless stubborn ailments in his heart. He gazed at her silently. The unspoken affection between them was something no amount of words could express.
Yu Yuetong was the first to come to her senses: "Hey, what are you still standing there for? Are you going to use my body, a man's body, to help you understand things? I haven't recovered from this confusing reality yet." She curled her lips and winked at Qin Reng in a playful manner.
Both of them were amused by her teasing, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a little. Qin Reng maintained his serious expression in front of her, but both of them had their own soft spots and secrets hidden in their hearts.
"By the way, don't rush to treat the wounds. We must leave here as soon as possible." Qin Reng's expression gradually became serious. He looked around and frowned. "That guy Mo Qingcheng, I'm afraid he won't let this go so easily."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong nodded. The two exchanged a glance, as if a tacit understanding had been reached.
However, just as they turned to leave, the sound of footsteps in the distance made their hearts skip a beat, and they stopped in their tracks. The seemingly unintentional footsteps carried a sense of urgency, making the air tense once again.
"Looks like there's always trouble ahead," Yu Yuetong muttered under her breath.
"This world is never short of enthusiastic troublemakers." Qin Reng smiled slightly, his tone seemingly relaxed, but the calmness and determination in his eyes proclaimed the responsibility he was about to shoulder.
But this challenge was clearly not so simple; they had to come up with a solution as soon as possible. A biting wind howled past, and they seemed to hear the whispers of night travelers.
The situation was turning sour again, fraught with danger. Two unseen figures were approaching stealthily, a cold glint in the darkness. The dangers they already knew were enough to test their alertness and cooperation, but the unknown only instilled unease.
In this lurking predicament, someone suddenly stood in the shadows, sneering, and said slyly, "Looks like I've run into you again by accident."
Yu Yuetong clenched her fists silently, her eyes growing increasingly resolute. For some reason, a strong fighting spirit ignited within her. She didn't know how to face what was to come, but she was certain that she would never let anyone betray her original intentions.
From the shadows, a slender figure gradually emerged—it was Mo Qingcheng. He sneered, his eyes flashing with malice, "What, trying to slip away so soon?"
