Chapter 300
Su Ziyue couldn’t help clenching her fists under her nket.
She reached out her hand to fumble for her cell phone, yet only then did she recall that there was no
cell phone signal here. Even when she had a cell phone, she couldn’t make any calls.
Li Qingluo was sound asleep at this moment, and Su Ziyue had no idea how many people were
outside.
Furthermore, she couldn’t be sure whether they were from another family or the family of the ce she
stayed at.
Just then, the old and shabby wooden door opened with a squeak.
Hiding under the nket, Su Ziyue looked outside through the nket’s edge. As she was in the
darkness, she could vaguely see the dim light outside and a silhouette standing by the door after the
door was opened.
Only one person is there?
All she heard since a moment ago was the sound of the door being opened. She did not hear anyone
talking, so there should only be one person outside.
Su Ziyue’s heart was in her mouth. She sat up instantly, looked at the silhouette by the door, and hurled
her cell phone at it, yelling, “Who is it?!”
The silhouette by the door seemed to have grunted as it paused for a moment. Then, it turned around
and ran away.
Li Qingluo got up in a daze as Su Ziyue’s voice woke her up with a start. She asked Su Ziyue, “What’s
wrong?”
Su Ziyue’s heart thumped heavily as the panic still lingered in her heart. She tried her best to say in a
calm voice, “Nothing. I just had a nightmare.”
Li Qingluo was deeply confused as she had suddenly woken up from a deep sleep. Upon hearing Su
Ziyue’s exnation, she turned over and continued sleeping without giving a second thought.
It did not take long before the sound of Li Qingluo’s even breathing was heard. Su Ziyue sat on the bed
for a long time before she finally got out of bed to close the door back.
The next morning, Su Ziyue got up early, for she had barely slept for the rest of that night.
She quietly eyed the vigers up and down while having breakfast. Each of them did not seem to be
bad people, but they also seemed to be not as honest and kind-hearted as they looked on the outside.
Li Qingluo stared at her with a look of concern. “You look so unwell, Director Su. Would you like to go
back first to take a rest? There aren’t many things to do today anyway.”
“It’s alright,” answered Su Ziyue as she did not want to stay in the room alone.
In the daytime, the vigers would go to work in the fields, whereas the kids would attend school. If she
stayed in the house, she would be alone.
She did not know who the personst night was and what his or her purpose was. Therefore, she
couldn’t let her guard down like that.
However, she couldn’t tell others about the incident.
The film crew’s task this day was to film an elderly who lived alone.
Even though the elderly would appear in the shot for merely several minutes, it wasn’t easy to do
shooting in such a ce.
Moreover, the reclusive elderly stayed quite far away.
Before they finished shooting the footage, someone ran up to them and said they had a few visitors.
“Who are they?” Su Ziyue turned to look at the person.
“A few men came, and they asked for Su Ziyue as soon as they arrived. They’re looking for you.”
Some men came to such a ce to look for her? Who would they be?

Lu Shichu couldn’t possibly be one of them. He was quite busy these days, so he couldn’t leave to do
something else. Moreover, he couldn’t possiblye here.
Su Ziyue only knew a handful of men, so after eliminating the possibilities, she figured out who it was
without a doubt.
She thought for a moment with a frown before saying, “I’ll go with you to take a look.”
Su Ziyue went over with that person, only to see Qin Muchen, who was surrounded by everyone.
Sitting on a rock, he seemed to be in a sorry state, his hair slightly disheveled and his suit jacket
draped over his arm. He had two buttons on his ck shirt unfastened, and his sleeves were rolled up
to his forearm.
He looked quite tense as he pressed his thin lips together, making him appear even more distant and
unapproachable in his somber ck shirt.
It was just that… Su Ziyue could hardly suppress augh when she shifted her gaze to the legs of his
pants, which were stained with a lot of mud.
There was a mountain path that led to the vige. To enter the vige, one would need to walk down
the path on foot without relying on any means of transportation for around five hours.
Qin Muchen’s subordinate, who stood behind him, suddenly looked over the crowd in Su Ziyue’s
direction. Then, he bent down and whispered something into Qin Muchen’s ear.
After that, Su Ziyue saw Qin Muchen looking in her direction.
Seeing that he noticed her presence, she went over right away.
“This is ourpany’s coborating partner. Pardon us for having to trouble you again after this.” Su
Ziyue came over and said a few words of courtesy to the vigers, who then went back to attend to
their own business.
Qin Muchen’s subordinate left with the vigers to arrange for his amodation, leaving only Qin
Muchen and Su Ziyue here.
Su Ziyue kicked the pebbles at her feet in a careless way while putting her hands in her shirt pockets.
She asked him, “Why are you here?”
Qin Muchen stood up and fixed his gaze on her for a moment.
Su Ziyue wore neither dresses nor high heels since the conditions here prevented her from doing so.
She stood there in a tracksuit, her long, curly hair in a ponytail, making her look youthful and beautiful
without her makeup.
It suddenly struck Qin Muchen that he would turn thirty very soon, and he felt a sudden surge of
inexplicable dejection deep down inside.
He averted his gaze to look at the forest in the distance. Then, he said tly, “I’m here to take a look.”
Su Ziyue tilted her head to one side with an odd look in her eyes before turning around and walking
toward the shooting location. As she walked, she said, “In that case, go and have a look. They’re
shooting the footage.”
Su Ziyue couldn’t be bothered to think why exactly he came here.
He couldn’t possibly be here just because he wanted to take a look, for Qin Muchen was never such a
person who would act on a whim.
Moreover, nothing was interesting about this ce, which had nothing else but barren hills and
untamed rivers.
Qin Muchen followed her without saying a word. As he looked at her ponytail—which swayed as she
walked—a hint of realization shed across his eyes…
When the two of them reached the shooting location, the crew was filming thest footage before
calling it a day.
Qin Muchen stood aside and looked on silently for a while. Then, he bowed his head to look at the
mud-stained legs of his pants.
Frowning slightly, he turned around and walked up to Su Ziyue, saying, “Let’s go back.”
Quick-witted as she was, Su Ziyue realized that he wanted to go back to take a shower and get
changed when she saw his long face.
However, the conditions here probably wouldn’t allow for that.
Su Ziyue took him back into the vige. When they were about to arrive, she said to him, “The
conditions here are quite poor, so you…”
“Since you don’t mind the conditions as well, do you think that I can’t do better than you?” said Qin
Muchen with a cold snort as he walked ahead of her.
Su Ziyue tutted and shot an angry nce at his back before catching up with him.
To her surprise, the vigers also arranged for Qin Muchen to stay at the ce she was staying.
As she walked past the room where she stayed, she couldn’t help but shudder upon recalling the
incidentst night.
Her face turned pale at once, and she quickly walked to Qin Muchen’s side.
Qin Muchen was sharp; he noticed that something was wrong with her, so he asked her, “What’s
wrong?”
“Nothing,” said Su Ziyue tly as she bowed her head slightly.
Slowing down his pace, Qin Muchen quietly nced over his shoulder to see a white figure shing
past the corner.
