These words instantly chilled Lin Man's heart. At this moment, she was even more unwilling to talk to Jiang Xuzhi, a madman.

"Jiang Xuzhi, didn't you like Gan Tian very much in the past? Do you know how much Gan Tian hated me? She is dead now, but if she knew that you held me captive by force, she would probably die with regret."

"Since she hates you, even if she dies with her eyes wide open, she should at least turn into a ghost and come looking for you, right?"

Lin Man's heart sank when he heard that. In this desolate place, "You won't get any good even if you keep me with you. If you let me go now, even if Gan Tian wants to look for me, she will come to me."

Jiang Xuzhi smiled, picked up the camouflage water bottle, drank a sip of water slowly, moistened his throat, and then said slowly and unhurriedly: "You think too much. There are so many souls who died at my hands. She is not the only one."

"Do I have to be wary of everyone and be afraid that they will come to seek revenge on me? I am not afraid of the living, nor the dead. I am not afraid of anything. If they want to come, they can come."

Lin Man originally thought that mentioning Gan Tian would make Jiang Xuzhi behave more restrained.

However, in the second he was stunned just now, it was obvious that he could not remember the name at the first time.

Lin Man looked mocking, "You men are all quite heartless."

But in the next second, Lin Man's heart suddenly tightened, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized something. She widened her eyes, looked at Jiang Xuzhi in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "It's you..."

"The souls that died at your hands...did you kill Gan Tian?"

Jiang Xuzhi looked at Lin Man, and was quite satisfied with the uncontrollable tremor in her voice. He did not respond to Lin Man's question, but looked at the water in her bottle, "Don't waste it, drink it up."

Lin Man had only drunk half of the bottle of water in her hand, and there was still a lot left in the bottle.

Lin Man didn't want to drink anymore. Besides, she was in the wilderness and didn't want to have to go to the bathroom in front of these men.

He replied angrily: "I'll save it for later, isn't that ok?"

"This is special water for the military. It contains substances that can help people recover quickly. But it cannot be stored after it is opened. You must drink it all and don't waste it."

"Drink if you want."

She just wanted to disgust Jiang Xuzhi casually.

But she didn't expect that the next second, Jiang Xuzhi actually picked up her bottle of water and took a sip. Lin Man hadn't recovered from this unexpected action yet, and astonishment was written all over her face.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed her neck and pushed her forward. Then, Jiang Xuzhi's cold lips pressed against hers, forcing the water in his mouth into her.

“Mmm…Mmm!”

Lin Man's eyes widened.

When she could breathe again, she was shocked and angry. She raised her hand and slapped Jiang Xuzhi's face fiercely, "You are crazy!"

In Jiang Xuzhi's eyes, Lin Man's movements were slow. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to stop her, but when he saw the gauze wrapped around Lin Man's hand, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he let the slap fall, and he was hit by Lin Man.

Lin Man put all her strength into this slap, but there was no trace left on Jiang Xuzhi's face.

However, the next second, a piercing pain came from Lin Man's palm. She endured it, clenching her teeth to prevent herself from making any embarrassing noises.

She was too impatient just now, and only now realized that the hand she used to hit Jiang Xuzhi was her injured hand, "Asshole......!"

Seeing Lin Man like this, Jiang Xuzhi felt that she was like a rabbit that was completely irritated. He felt something inexplicably moving in his heart, and suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked his lips slowly.

Somehow, he was in a particularly good mood at the moment, so he didn't argue with Lin Man anymore. He just handed the half bottle of water to Lin Man again, and said in a voice that left no room for doubt: "Drink it up."

The next second after Jiang Xuzhi turned around and left, Lin Man poured the half bottle of water onto the gravel road without hesitation.

Then he grasped the plastic bottle tightly in his palm, crushed it with force, and threw it towards Jiang Xuzhi's back.

Unfortunately, she didn't have enough strength, and the bottle fell straight down in mid-air, landing on the ground with a "pa" and was still far away from the corner of Jiang Xuzhi's clothes.

After resting for ten minutes, everyone returned to the car.

But this time, the person sitting in the driver's seat was Xiaobin, and Dabin was nowhere to be seen.

The in-car video was playing footage of Gan Yuxi attending the Pei Group press conference.

In the picture, Gan Yuxi was outstanding. As the press conference progressed, Pei's stock price soared all the way and reached an unprecedented new height.

Lin Man just glanced at the screen casually, then slowly closed her eyes, lazily leaned on the back seat of the car to rest, and said nonchalantly: "Such a talent, you let her stay with Pei Yan?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Xuzhi asked back.

Lin Man said slowly and calmly: "In my opinion, we should kill her to prevent future troubles. After all, the friend of my enemy is my enemy. Pei Yan is your mortal enemy, isn't he?"

Jiang Xuzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, chuckled, and said leisurely: "We were indeed sworn enemies before, but from now on, the situation is different. His wife belongs to me, so I plan to make peace with him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Man reached out and grabbed the kettle beside her and threw it at Jiang Xuzhi. He reacted very quickly and caught the kettle with his hand.

Lin Man couldn't help but curse: "Mad man!"

Jiang Xuzhi had a teasing smile on his face and said slowly, "Save your energy. When we get to the base camp, you can go to my bed and scream as much as you want."

He said words that made people blush and feel shy, but there was no trace of lust in his eyes.

Lin Man instantly realized that the man in front of her was no good and she must not provoke him.

Just as he was racking his brains to think of a way out, Dabin came back with a map in his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, there is a checkpoint not far away, and someone is heading this way."

There were several crosses on the map, and Lin Man just glanced at it. The moment the car started, he suddenly opened the door, jumped out, and ran towards the woods with all his strength.

The wind whistled past her ears and she didn't dare look back.

"Help! Help!" Lin Man screamed for help at the top of her lungs. She had memorized the location on the map and knew that someone was looking for her nearby.

She staggered, but did not dare to stop for a moment. She ran wildly in the woods, desperately calling for help.

She protected her lower abdomen with her hands, and was unaware of the branches scratching her cheeks and arms. Her voice was hoarse from shouting, but she still endured the pain and fatigue, letting her cries for help continue to echo in the forest.

Finally, a man's voice penetrated the woods: "Who's over there?"

When Lin Man heard this, she was immediately delighted. She recognized the voice. It was a bodyguard of Pei Yan.

She was eager to respond: "It's me! Lin Man, I was kidnapped by Jiang Xuzhi!"

He ran towards the direction of the sound while shouting, but was tripped by a vine and almost fell.

When the bodyguard heard the voice, he was overjoyed: "Madam, it's you, where are you?" At the same time, he quickly took out the walkie-talkie, "I found Madam, everyone quickly gather at point A!"

Lin Man's eyes quickly swept around, her lips slightly parted, and she was about to speak to confirm her location, when suddenly, a strong hand suddenly covered her mouth, "Mmm...!" Her words were blocked in her throat.

When the bodyguards arrived at her location, it was empty and an anxious cry came: "Madam, where are you?"

Lin Man struggled desperately, but could not make a sound. At this moment, she felt the familiar breath behind her. Anger surged in her heart. She knew it was Jiang Xuzhi without turning around.

Almost at the same second, Pei Yan hurried over.

There was a tear on his suit jacket caused by a branch, his hair, which had been meticulously groomed, was now a little messy, and there was a lot of dust on his face.

His face was a little grim, but his voice was filled with fear that was hard to conceal. He was really afraid that he would lose Lin Man forever this time.

"Where are the people?" Pei Yan's voice trembled slightly.

The bodyguard next to him was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "Boss Pei, I really didn't lie! My wife did yell for help just now, and the sound came from here. When I arrived, she was gone. What the hell is going on!"

Pei Yan remained silent, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

Lin Man had her mouth covered by Jiang Xuzhi. She watched Pei Yan approaching her but was unable to make a sound, so she could only struggle continuously!

Make rapid breathing sounds through your nose!

But this weak voice was soon drowned out by the sound of the wind. At this moment, a cold hand reached out from her clothes and wandered freely on her skin.

Lin Man shuddered violently, and a wave of nausea and vomiting came over her. Jiang Xuzhi seemed to be deliberately punishing her, and his hand not only did not retract, but became even more aggressive, constantly challenging her bottom line.

Lin Man was ashamed and angry, but she couldn't move.

Jiang Xuzhi seemed to think that was not enough and gave her a warning look. Lin Man blinked helplessly, and he slowly withdrew his hand.

Lin Man didn't dare to struggle anymore. She originally wanted to attract his attention, but Jiang Xuzhi seemed to see through her thoughts. This time, he was determined not to give her any chance.

Lin Man's hands and feet were restrained and she was at a loss what to do. She could only pray silently in her heart that Pei Yan would find her.

Just as Pei Yan was walking towards the bushes where Lin Man was hiding, Gan Yuxi's voice suddenly came: "A Yan."

"Have you found Manman?"

Pei Yan paused, slowly retracted his steps, and turned to look at the woman who was running behind him. Gan Yuxi seemed to be running very fast, with several cuts on her delicate skirt, and traces of blood oozing out on her fair arms, looking a little embarrassed.

But she didn't seem to care at all. When she saw Pei Yan's eyes on her, she smiled gently, raised her hand to cover the wound, and said softly: "It's okay, Ah Yan. I really couldn't bear to leave you alone. I didn't expect that after so many years, we would fight side by side again. This time, I will help you complete the task."

Pei Yan frowned slightly, called the nurse, took out the medical kit, and handed it to Gan Yuxi, "She is not a mission, she is my wife."

At this moment, she is still pregnant with his child.

Gan Yuxi's hand, which was bandaging the wound, trembled slightly inadvertently, but she quickly calmed down, stood up, and said, "In this case, we should find the person as soon as possible and look for him somewhere else."

She was about to leave with Pei Yan.

The bodyguard suddenly spoke up: "Madam just said that it was Jiang Xuzhi who kidnapped her."

Pei Yan raised his head suddenly.

Gan Yuxi was surprised and asked, "Did you really hear it clearly?"

"A Xu is not in China at all. Speaking of which, you and A Xu are old acquaintances. If this incident was not done by him, but was caused by someone with ulterior motives, leading to misunderstandings, it would lead to a diplomatic incident between the two countries. We must not be careless."

The bodyguard was sure that what he heard were the three words "Jiang Xuzhi". However, when Gan Yuxi said this, he couldn't help but wonder. Are President Pei and this Jiang Xuzhi old acquaintances? What if it turns out that it's not Jiang Xuzhi, wouldn't he be the sinner who sowed discord?

Thinking of this, he became more and more unsure, and hurriedly said: "This...can't be confirmed. The wind was too loud at the time, and I might have heard it wrongly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yan's eyes became stern, as if filled with an icy aura, as if he wanted to tear the bodyguard to pieces on the spot.

"Search!" A chilling voice sounded coldly. Immediately, many people began to search carefully around.

Seeing everyone leave, Lin Man's heart sank instantly. She blinked anxiously, signaling to Jiang Xuzhi to let her go. But Jiang Xuzhi did not do as she wished. The hand that was originally covering her mouth slowly moved up and gently covered her cheek.

Lin Man wanted to take the opportunity to scream again, but she was horrified to see that the cold hand moved slowly down her cheek and directly to her neck.

Youyou said: "You really caused me a lot of trouble."

"Jiang Xuzhi, you can still let me go now, but you can't leave here with me." Lin Man looked at Jiang Xuzhi coldly and said calmly. Although Pei Yan hadn't found him yet, there were many people here, and Jiang Xuzhi couldn't leave here with her.

"If you keep talking nonsense, even if I can't get away, I will throw your body to Pei Yan. In this way, from now on, you will be the white moonlight in his heart. Don't forget to thank me in the afterlife."

Lin Man never thought that a cold and hard person like Jiang Xuzhi could say such shameless words. His tone seemed nonchalant, as if he was joking, but his eyes were always vigilantly scanning the surroundings, always on guard.

Obviously, the pressure brought by Pei Yan forced him to face it seriously. Lin Man and Jiang Xuzhi both knew that if Pei Yan caught Jiang Xuzhi, he would really kill him!

"Let's go." Jiang Xuzhi ordered coldly, dragging Lin Man to stand up. As if he was dissatisfied with Lin Man's slow movements, he did not scold her, but directly picked her up and moved through the jungle effortlessly.

At this time, Dabin and Xiaobin came to meet Jiang Xuzhi. Jiang Xuzhi stuffed something into Lin Man's mouth, and Xiaobin tied her hands with a rope. The group crouched in the bushes.

Jiang Xuzhi stared ahead vigilantly while holding Lin Man in his arms. Lin Man moved her hands and just opened her eyes when she saw something like a green leaf wriggling. After she saw it clearly, she whimpered and her body swayed back and forth.
