Zhan Moxiao knew about Ou Lan's concerns for Lan Rui.
He carried her back to the bedroom and laid her on the bed, telling her the truth, "This time in Zhebei, I confirmed two things: First, that indeed is the Lan Rui you knew in your youth. Second, he is indeed targeting me. This incident of excavating and stealing from the ancient tomb was a trap he set to lure me in."
Ou Lan widened her eyes in shock, "He really is Brother Rui! Why would he want to harm you, is it because of me?"
Zhan Moxiao quickly reassured her, "It has nothing to do with you. He's working for the forces behind him. This time, he intended to capture me alive. As for where they want to take me, it's unknown."
Ou Lan nervously held Zhan Moxiao's hand, "And what about Lan Rui, did you bring him back to the Capital City?"
"No, he escaped."
Hearing that Lan Rui escaped, Ou Lan had mixed emotions. On one hand, she was relieved he wasn't dead, but she couldn't help worrying he might come back to harm Zhan Moxiao.
