Gu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Today had truly been full of dramatic ups and downs and constant dangers.

Now that she knew their things were hidden here, she had to have Uncle Gu bring the police here to retrieve them tomorrow morning.

Because this was the Jade Mine.

They were stealing.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize turned around, ready to head in the direction they had come from.

But just then, as Gu Qiaoqiao took her second step, the ground beneath her feet gave way, and she suddenly fell downwards.

Qin Yize had not expected there to be a trap here.

Without thinking, he snatched Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand in the blink of an eye.

And even so, it did not prevent the fall caused by this particular situation.

At this critical moment, Qin Yize flipped over in mid-air, positioning himself below while Gu Qiaoqiao ended up above him.

He intended to cushion her fall with his body.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly realized that below the trap were sharp wooden stakes.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have time to ponder further.

She grabbed a nearby vine desperately.

Qin Yize also saw the wooden stakes beneath the trap.

He merely furrowed his brows slightly.

He could dodge the wooden stakes himself.

But with Gu Qiaoqiao’s weight added, he wasn’t sure.

While Gu Qiaoqiao continued to hold onto the vine, she quickly wrapped it around her wrist; Qin Yize pushed off the wall with his legs, swinging Gu Qiaoqiao forward, then flipped over, landing them both safely on the ground.

The two had never cooperated like this before.

But their first time working together turned out to be unexpectedly perfect.

Standing above the trap, Gu Qiaoqiao let out a long breath.

She removed the vine from her hand, then wiped the sweat from her face, smearing her pale face with colorful mud.

Qin Yize glanced around and whispered, “Let’s hurry and go.”

Then, pulling Gu Qiaoqiao, he quickly dashed along the narrow path.

This time, there were no further incidents.

By the time they reached the exit, the forest had regained its tranquility.

Apparently, nothing was discovered.

Those people probably didn’t expect anyone to venture into this desolate valley so late.

So after a quick search, those men returned into the valley with their hounds.

Unsurprisingly, they did not see the two cars at the entrance of the valley.

Who knows where they went?

This place was still over a hundred miles from the Jade Mine, but now was not the time to delay.

Qin Yize looked at the young girl by his side.

He reached out, gently wiping the dirt off her face, and said softly, “The driver and bodyguard might have left early because they noticed someone approaching. Let’s keep moving forward…”

“It was my fault for being careless just now. Knowing this, it would have been better if you had come alone…”

Gu Qiaoqiao quietly admitted her error.

Qin Yize was not at all frightened by the recent danger, to him, it was a minor matter.

Moreover, if Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t come, how could he possibly have kissed her?

So, her presence was truly fortuitous!

Qin Yize’s eyes softened, and he said in a low voice, “You arrived at just the right time, otherwise I might not even have seen the car in the valley. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have thought it was just a bush…”

Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, looking at him suspiciously, “Really?”

Qin Yize nodded emphatically, and said earnestly, “Really…”
