Ling Tian'ao saw Xia Zhisu being kidnapped, yet she seemed completely unafraid. He raised an eyebrow, "Xia Zhisu, your ability to stay calm under pressure has certainly improved."
"Duh! I knew you'd come to save me! What's there to be scared of?"
However, Ling Tian'ao's heart was heavy. "Their boss isn't someone easy to deal with. People who fall into his hands mostly end up wishing they were dead!"
"Well, I guess I belong to the lucky minority!"
Seeing Xia Zhisu remain so optimistic, her face showing not a hint of fear.
Ling Tian'ao held her hand, filled with guilt. "I'm sorry for always putting you in so much danger by being with me."
"It's not danger. With you around, I know I'll never be harmed!"
"I can't be by your side all the time."
