As night fell, darkness blanketed the entire land. At that moment, the neon lights on both sides of the road simultaneously lit up, illuminating the night and this international metropolis known as the forest capital, like a city of illusions, ensnaring countless people within.

In the hotel’s restaurant, Pu Junxi sat across from Jin Zhengru, smiling as he gazed at her.

Meanwhile, Jin Zhengru held a knife and fork, gracefully cutting her steak, exuding elegance and a lady-like demeanor.

"Xiao Ru, after dinner, let’s go for a walk!" Pu Junxi suddenly suggested, "Since we arrived in Moscow, we haven’t gone out at night yet!"

Jin Zhengru glanced at Pu Junxi, "Why did you suddenly think of going for a walk?"

"Mainly because there’s nothing to do at the hotel," Pu Junxi said softly. "Why not go out and take a look, and enjoy Moscow’s night scenery?"

"Did something good happen to you? You usually don’t like going out," Jin Zhengru asked Pu Junxi with a hint of suspicion.

She hadn’t known Pu Junxi for just a day or two, and she understood him very well.

Now, Pu Junxi suddenly suggested going out, which was completely unlike his usual behavior. Moreover, Jin Zhengru had an inkling that today, Pu Junxi seemed happier than any other day, although she didn’t know why.

However, Jin Zhengru didn’t press further because, after all, everyone has their own personal space and secrets.

Pu Junxi’s heart tightened, fearing Jin Zhengru had discovered something, and he quickly said, "No way, I’ve been with you all along and didn’t leave the hotel, so what good thing could happen?"

"If there’s anything good, it’s being with you!" Pu Junxi’s tone shifted slightly.

Jin Zhengru glanced at Pu Junxi and said, "Alright, let’s go for a walk after we finish eating."

Hearing her agree, Pu Junxi was delighted inside, but he didn’t show too much excitement on his face, keeping his usual demeanor.

"Let’s hurry up and eat!"

Jin Zhengru didn’t think much of it and began eating her steak.

About half an hour later, Jin Zhengru and Pu Junxi finally finished their dinner.

After dinner, Jin Zhengru left the hotel with Pu Junxi.

After all, she had agreed earlier to go for a walk with him.

The two of them didn’t drive a car, or rather, they didn’t have one in Moscow.

You see, they were only visiting Moscow for a summit and planned to stay just a few days, so there was no need to buy a car.

Besides, transportation was so convenient that they could easily hail a cab, or if necessary, rent a car!

"Where should we go?" Jin Zhengru gently asked Pu Junxi.

Pu Junxi pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "How about we check out the pedestrian street in Moscow?"

"Sure!" Jin Zhengru agreed without hesitation.

After that, Pu Junxi waved for a cab and they left.

In the car, Pu Junxi and Jin Zhengru chatted softly.

"Xiao Ru, have you seen Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi in the past two days?"

When Pu Junxi suddenly mentioned Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, Jin Zhengru’s face showed a hint of surprise, "Do you want to see them?"

Pu Junxi quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No way, I really hate Ye Xunhuan; I wish I could tear him to pieces!"

Saying this, a deep hatred appeared on Pu Junxi’s face.

Seeing Pu Junxi’s face full of hatred, Jin Zhengru didn’t think much of it. After all, Pu Junxi had been humiliated by Ye Xunhuan more than once, and if it weren’t for her restraining Pu Junxi, who knows how many times he would have provoked Ye Xunhuan!

It’s also quite possible that Pu Junxi would have been long dead by now.

So when Pu Junxi brought up Ye Xunhuan with hatred, Jin Zhengru didn’t find it surprising at all.

"Don’t provoke him!" Jin Zhengru reminded again, "He’s not someone to mess with."

When Pu Junxi heard Jin Zhengru’s words, a trace of anger rose inside him, but he didn’t show it on his face, letting out a reluctant snort instead.

Jin Zhengru was not surprised by this reaction, as it had always been Pu Junxi’s response.

And this reaction from Pu Junxi is entirely normal, given that Pu Junxi likes her, a fact Jin Zhengru was well aware of.

Yet, she repeatedly told Pu Junxi not to mess with Ye Xunhuan.

Although Jin Zhengru meant well for Pu Junxi, in Pu Junxi’s ears, her words might have been twisted.

Therefore, Jin Zhengru could understand Pu Junxi’s attitude and response.

Suddenly, Jin Zhengru realized that the car was taking a different route.

Though she’d never been to Moscow’s pedestrian street, she had seen the city’s map, and this was clearly not the way to the pedestrian street. Moreover, the number of vehicles along the street was decreasing.

Realizing this, Jin Zhengru’s heart grew heavy with concern.

The next moment, Jin Zhengru asked the driver, "Who are you, and where are you taking us?"

Upon hearing Jin Zhengru’s words, Pu Junxi was stunned.

At this moment, Pu Junxi hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

"Xiao Ru, what’s wrong?"

"Just look outside!"

Hearing Jin Zhengru’s words, Pu Junxi quickly glanced outside.

Seeing the decreasing number of passing cars, his heart suddenly tensed. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Miss Jin’s reactions are quite sharp!" the driver sneered, his face revealing a cold expression.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that you don’t make any futile resistance, or else you’ll only end up suffering!" the driver warned.

"Is that so?"

A chilling gleam flashed in Jin Zhengru’s eyes as her right hand slowly reached for her purse!

But just then, the driver swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt and simultaneously opened the car door, leaping out of the car in one swift motion!

The entire sequence of actions was seamless, without a hint of hesitation!

With the car suddenly driverless, it lost balance, crashing forcefully into a tree beside the road.

The tremendous impact caused Jin Zhengru and Pu Junxi to lurch uncontrollably forward!

And at that moment, seven or eight burly, brawny men appeared from nowhere, enclosing the car tightly with a vicious glint of murder in their eyes!
