coat come out, take off his mask, and look at her with regret on his face. "I'm sorry, we did our best."Those words completely drained Lin Jinran of all his energy.The mobile ward was wheeled out, a...He walked all the way back to the villa and went upstairs to his bedroom.

Seeing the room, from unfamiliar to gradually familiar, my eyes welled up again.

She endured the tears and walked to the table to gather up her manuscripts. These were all she had created in her spare time over the past few months.

These things are useless to them, but they're very useful to her; she wants to take them.

While tidying up, her eyes unconsciously landed on an overturned cup. With slender fingers, she lifted the cup, revealing a dazzling platinum ring, sparkling brilliantly.

This was from the Night Owl, she'd kept it pressed under her cup.

Lin Jinran picked up the ring, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at it, tears silently streaming down her face.

Having always dodged and fled the Night Owl's imprisonment, he had never succeeded before. This time, he could finally escape, but his heart ached with reluctance.

Having packed everything up, I thought there would be a lot to take, but in the end, all that was left to carry was a thick stack of papers.

Lin Jin Yan did not take the ring. Firstly, it was too valuable, and secondly, it didn't belong to her. She wouldn't take it.

As she was leaving, she inexplicably opened the Owl's Nest study door and walked to the desk. Her bloodshot eyes scanned across it, finally settling on a fountain pen.

She gently picked up the pen and held it in her hand, feeling the coldness of the pen barrel. After a moment, she pulled out a clean A4 sheet of paper and opened the pen cap.

He pulled up a chair, sat down, and seriously wrote a letter.

Having finished, she capped the pen and placed it on the paper. She raised her eyes once more to scan the surroundings, then decisively turned and left.

Lin Shan'er's driver arrived downstairs on time to pick her up.

Lin Jin got into the car, put down his box, and asked the driver, "Driver, please take me to the nearest town."

"Understood." The driver, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, was burly and dark-skinned. His triangular eyes glanced at Lin Jinran through the rearview mirror as he got in the car, then started the vehicle with his rough hands.

Lin Jinran did not pay much attention, her mind was not on the driver, and she hadn't even looked at him directly.

She kept staring silently at the villa, which was getting farther and farther away. Her heart felt incredibly complex and uncomfortable, as if a huge stone had been lodged in her chest, making her feel extremely uneasy.

The vehicle gradually disappeared into the distance, and Lin Jinran's villa was completely out of sight. Lin Jinran withdrew his gaze indifferently, staring blankly at the ground with his eyes downcast.

After driving for a long time, Lin Jinyan unconsciously looked up at the dense forest outside the window. There was no sign of leaving this place at all, instead, the trees seemed to be getting denser and denser.

A sense of alarm rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but turn to the driver, "Driver sir, where are we going"

The driver, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, replied to her with a dismissive smirk, "Aren't you going to town"

Lin Jinran looked out the car window. The surroundings were becoming increasingly desolate. It didn't look like a road leading to town at all!

She lightly frowned, "I suddenly remembered I have some things to pick up. Could you please take me back home first"

"That won't do, you got on the car, there's no turning back." Saying that, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, Lin Jinran's body heavily collided with the back of the chair.

She hurriedly braced herself against the back of the chair, waiting for the car to stabilize. Just as she lifted her head, a cold sensation touched her forehead.

Her pupils constricted suddenly. The driver had a gun pressed against her forehead!

Lin Jin's eyes were fixed on the driver's gun, his fingers clenched tight, trying to stifle his fear as he asked, "Was it Lin Shan'er who told you to do this"yguard immediately reported to Shaoqing Fu.Upon learning that he hadn't seen anyone, he furrowed his sword eyebrows, "Gone""Yes, he just moved out." The bodyguard lowered his head and replied respectf...
