"I'm just a girl from the countryside; I don't know much, but I do know what should be said and what shouldn't," she said. "I promise that after today, I'll forget everything as if nothing ever happened. I won't mention it in front of anyone... not even a single word."
Lian Manman cautiously observed the man as she spoke.
The man eyed Lian Manman with a probing gaze. He had been pursued and was nearly exhausted, but there was still an assassin closely following him. He knew if he kept running, the assassin would kill him. So he chose this mound to sit and wait, ready to face the assassin when he arrived. Lian Manman's sudden appearance made him initially think she was another assassin sent by his enemy. He didn't kill her right away because the way she dropped from the sky didn't seem like how an assassin would operate; she lacked murderous intent and had exposed too many vulnerabilities. Moreover, he had just enough strength left for one last fight.
