Xing Yuan's expression instantly became tense as Ning Zhen'er coldly told him, "Quick, hide under the bed."
Xing Yuan was momentarily stunned, then quickly hid under the bed.
Before long, a squad of soldiers came in and politely questioned Ning Zhen'er.
Ning Zhen'er remained calm and replied, "I haven't seen him."
The soldiers had no doubts about her words, merely instructing her to be on the lookout for the nefarious Xing Yuan before turning to search elsewhere.
Hiding under the bed, Xing Yuan was full of astonishment.
He never expected that Ning Zhen'er would save him and couldn't fathom why she did so, nor could he guess what kind of woman she truly was.
After the soldiers left and the room returned to quiet, Ning Zhen'er said towards the bed, "Since you've escaped this time, you'd better leave quickly."
At this moment, she felt both physically and mentally exhausted. Xiao Chengyi's harsh slap made her cheek sting, not to mention her arm was already injured.
