Chapter 179 An ident


    After Noah left, Ca breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt intimidated by him. She always had this


    feeling that something would go wrong.


    She then scratched her hair. ''Is the juice really expired?'' she wondered.


    She opened the refrigerator and took out the box of juice. Noah was right. However, what astonished


    Ca was that the juice was only one day past due. How could he tell the difference?


    There was one more thing that concerned her.


    He wanted her to be his tourist guide?


    Even though she had lived in BH City for so many years, she didn''t feel confident enough to be


    anyone''s guide.


    Soon enough, Sunday came.


    Noah called her right on time at 8 o''clock in the morning.


    "Are you ready? I''m already downstairs," Noah inly stated on the phone.


    Ca was still putting on her shoes when she answered, "All right! I''m almost ready. I''ll be there soon!"


    Ca stumbled upon her words.


    When she came downstairs, she saw that Noah was wearing a gym suit while he was waiting for her,


    next to his Land Rover.


    He opened the door of the passenger''s seat for Ca as soon as he saw her.


    Ca had intended to sit on the backseat to create some distance away from him. But with his gesture,


    she had no choice but to sit next to him.


    After they both got inside the car, Ca looked at the vacant backseat and asked, "Isn''t Julie going to


    join us?" She waited for him to respond. When he didn''t say anything, she continued, "You see, I''m not


    really that fun to be around with. You''ll get bored with me soon enough. I think you''re going to have a


    lot of fun with her."


    As he drove the car, Noah finally spoke, "She has other things to deal with."


    Ca nodded. In her mind, she was dreading the thought that Julie might hate her even more after


    today. She could tell that Julie didn''t like her in the past since Noah paid too much attention to her.


    She didn''t want to officially be one of Julie''s enemies, but things were out of her control that day.


    Their destination that day was the most famous tourist spot in BH City—the Dragon Temple.


    It was said that in ancient times there had been a Dragon King in the ocean that protected the people


    of BH City. Therefore, the people that lived there constructed a temple to worship and pay respect to


    the Dragon King. Up until that day, people woulde to the temple to pay tribute to the said king.


    The temple was located on a beautiful mountain. As time went by, it had be not only a ritual site


    but also a popr tourist spot. Many tourists were attracted by its fascinating scenery and the history


    behind it.


    Ca didn''t think that she could offer much help during their journey since most of the time they could


    just simply enjoy the sights by themselves. She showed Noah and his four clients around the mountain


    and made a brief introduction of its history and stories.


    Her introduction was vivid and interesting because she had lived in BH City for so many years. When


    she was young, she had visited the ce for so many times. The ce had fascinated her since the


    first time she went there. It actually came as a surprise to her that she was having a lot of fun sharing


    the ce to a few people.


    After a while, Noah and his clients started to walk around and talk happily after her introduction. Ca


    thought that her job was almost finished so she decided to sneak away for a while and enjoy the ce


    by herself.


    She went to a secluded ce where she used to spend a lot of time with her ssmates.


    It was a small area surrounded by a lot of tall trees which provided a pretty exclusive space. She and


    her ssmates liked ying cards and eating BBQ in there.


    Now that she was in the exact same ce, it reminded her of so many memories from years ago. She


    couldn''t help but take several pictures. Then, she sent one to Violet.


    She really missed this ce since she hadn''t been here for several years.


    "Hey, beautiful! Are you alone?" Ca felt goosebumps as soon as she heard a voice she didn''t


    recognize.

    All of a sudden, a man came out from behind a tree. He was smiling suggestively at her as he


    approached her slowly. After a closer look, Ca noticed that his hands were fastening his belt.


    Ca was scared so she took a few steps back instinctively as soon as she caught sight of him.


    She could tell from his twisted face and behavior what he had been doing just then behind the tree.


    Ca couldn''t help but feel sick of him. The temple was after all, a holy ce. How could he do that?


    Ca tried to keep herself calm and decided to stay away from him as soon as possible. She turned


    around and rushed towards the main road as fast as she could.


    However, the disgusting man also sped up his pace when he saw Ca run.


    The truth was the odds weren''t in Ca''s favor. For one, a man could biologically run faster than a


    woman. Moreover, it was in the mountainous part of the ce. Ca had walked briskly in a lot of t


    roads before but since it was uphill, and it slowed her down even more. Before she knew it, the man


    caught up to her.


    "Let go of me!" Ca screamed.


    The man grabbed her by the arm and yanked at her clothes. Ca was fast as she shook him away


    and immediately, she continued to run.


    The man stared at her beautiful figure and licked his lips lewdly. Then he caught up with her once


    again. This time, he passed by Ca so that he could ce himself in front her, strategically blocking


    her way. "Why are you running, beautifuldy? We''re both alone here and we would make a perfect


    couple together. Let''s have some fun right now!" the man whispered right into Ca''s ears.


    Ca thought of some way she could escape from the man. They were on an upward slope and the


    man stood dominantly in front of her. The only direction she could run off to was where she came from.


    She turned around immediately and dashed as fast as she could.


    "Arrr! Ouch!"


    Ca cried out. She stumbled because of a small stone and fell down. She was running so fast that


    she forgot to look at where she was going.


    Ca felt pain in her back as soon as she fell down. Soon, the man caught up with her again and


    pounced on her. He grabbed her arms in one hand and ced them above her head. He also pressed


    his legs on her so that she couldn''t run from him anymore. She couldn''t move and all she could do was


    scream, "Help! Help! Someone help me! Is there anyone there?"


    "Don''t waste your time, little girl! Nobody would be here..." The man licked his lips and stared at her


    with lust in his eyes. Then he leaned down towards Ca to kiss her.


    The moment he was close to Ca''s face, he was kicked away and fell down along the slope.


    Whoever kicked him was very skillful, because the man fell to a direction that didn''t hurt Ca at all.


    Ca didn''t open her eyes and remained immobile for a short while. She was too scared and was


    expecting assault. She only opened her eyes when she heard a familiar voice.


    "I was wondering where you went off to. Why did youe to such a wild ce?" Noah asked.


    He reached out to pull Ca from the ground.


    It was so painful that Ca gritted her teeth. After she got up with Noah''s help, she turned around and


    saw a fist-sized stone where she was just lying. No wonder it caused so much pain!


    After she hadposed herself, she picked up a stout branch from the ground immediately and was


    ready to beat the man. However, she searched around and couldn''t find a trace of him because he had


    run away already.


    Ca threw away the branch angrily and tried to remove dust from her clothes.


    Noah watched her with a smile. He was fascinated with every single one of her movements.


    She looked up and met Noah''s smiling eyes. She was startled and asked suspiciously, "How did you


    know that I was here?"


    Although she was grateful for Noah''s perfectly timed rescue, she felt quite strange that such a man


    would be in a ce like that and Noah was able to save her just in time.


    ''Were they really just coincidences?'' Ca asked in her mind.


    Noah was smart enough to know what she was thinking. He coughed to clear his throat and replied,


    "All of a sudden, I couldn''t find you. Neither the clients noticed that you left as well. I was worried about


    your safety so I came looking for you.


    If you think that I arranged everything, you can try to find that man and let him tell you the truth. Or you


    can call the police right now."


    ''Maybe it really had nothing to do with him, '' Ca thought to herself.


    If he had nned it, he would have just killed the man once and for all. Or he would have made it


    perfect enough that Ca would never suspect him.


    He wouldn''t stoop so low as to send a man to harass her.


    Ca was convinced by his exnation. She rubbed her back and figured that Noah was not the kind


    of person to use dirty tricks.


    They went back inside together. Noah noticed there were several people not far away hiding behind the


    trees. He turned around and looked at Ca who was massaging her back. Some thoughts started to


    brew in his mind.


    He had noticed them when he had arrived here.


    They seemed to mean no harm to Ca. Instead, they looked like they were protecting her.


    So, even if he hadn''t helped Ca, someone would have kept her safe.


    "Is it bad? Do you need me to check it?" Noah stopped and asked her. She had been pressing her


    back for a while now.


    Ca shook her head immediately. She forced a smile and assured him, "I''m all right. It''ll be fine


    sometimeter."


    She removed her hand from her back and continued to walk.


    As soon as Ca passed by him, Noah took a closer look at her back and frowned. No wonder her face


    was crumpled painfully. There was blood on her clothes.


    Her clothes were dark so he didn''t notice it immediately.


    Noah caught up to Ca and grabbed her wrist. "You have to deal with this injury. I saw a small medical


    station not far away when we came here today. You have to get your back checked."


    Noah did not let go of her wrist and instead ced his other arm on her waist to assist her in walking.


    He called his clients and told them to wait for them.


    "I''m fine, Noah! I''m here to be your tourist guide. You don''t have to take care of me. It''s better to be with


    your clients. I will go to the doctor myself!"


    Ca tried to convince him


    but Noah just ignored her. They went through a shortcut and soon they arrived at a small medical


    station.


    The medical station was set up for sudden illnesses or injury like for tourists.


    After they arrived, they found out that there was only one male nurse on duty inside.
