Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 179 Ye Xinya 10

In the middle of the night, two figures were incessantly moving in the woods with no source of light whatsoever. One of them was attempting to chase away the unsettling atmosphere and eeriness by chatting with the other. However, the other party seemed to have turned into a mute, probably in a very bad mood due to the treatment gotten from the people he saved from the devils' hands.

But even though the male lead was lost in thoughts, he didn't forget to constantly stay alert about the surroundings. He then somehow observed that Jiang Li seemed to be very experienced in trekking mountainous terrains.

This would simply make those who knew Jing Mo's story curious if the Jings had once thrown him in the forest for their enjoyment. How else did he become familiar with how to move into a forest at night? This Jing Mo just looked like somebody frequently in a place like this!

The other boy only gave the male lead a sweeping glance and then looked away. As for his question, did he ask him to tell how he ended up at the rehabilitation school?

The visibility was low due to the dense foliage and the darkness, so it seemed that they were still in the same part of the woods. There was also no change in the frequency of the cries of the night birds and insects.  However, Jiang Li knew that they were getting nearer to the exit. The height and diameter of the trees they pa.s.sed by were now smaller or shorter.

Probably around midnight they would be able to reach the peripheral part of the city.

'Once I'm back... I won't return to the Jings. Who wants to return to a place sh*ttier than the school?'

Just because he is a real b.a.s.t.a.r.d, n.o.body there treats Jing Mo like a human being. He's a joke there, and has no choice but to always act the part. Given such, how could he not grow into a sc.u.mbag only focused on survival?

Jiang Li inwardly shook his head, his hands which were now riddled with cuts and wounds from the branches, twigs, and sharp-edged plants.

He was not worried about himself since he was back to modern and could just hack into a bank or some shady company if he was truly forced into desperation. But he would need some time to familiarize himself with how business works in this world, and deal with some issues regarding his current ident.i.ty.

Everything would only be easy once he had some capital. And to be honest, this would not be a problem actually, if not for remembering that he had to live honestly, as the Original hoped.

Han Su who had been snubbed since the beginning narrowed his eyes but no longer spoke. He was also starting to notice that the trees and fauna were getting lesser. It was simply unbelievable since it had only been an hour since they parted with the huge group.

They didn't encounter anyone along the way. No dangerous animal too, apart from some small insects which seemed to only bother him and not Jing Mo. Why was that though? He never saw the other stopping to ward off the small horde of insects flying and buzzing around.

It was ten minutes later, when Jiang Li finally opened his mouth. That time, the two of them were somehow back to the road leading to the city. He said without turning to the other boy. "I guess... We're arriving there in an hour."

Han Su lifted his head and saw that they could partly see the night sky already. Relief washed over him and the gaze he pinned at Jiang Li became full of admiration. He thought of those fools who chased this guy away. A sneer came from him and then he cheered in his mind for deciding not to stay with those people.

Most likely they were still at the same location, feeling fearful for their lives, not daring to create loud sounds, or even sleep. This was simply the price of not knowing when to trust and distrust, or not knowing how to judge one's value and usefulness.

After a minute of gloating, he gradually calmed, regulated his breath that had become a bit ragged from all the walking they did, and then started to think of the future. It didn't take long for his face to warp, recalling his own family was a mess too which he could not return to.

"Hey. I just need to ask you this badly."

Jiang Li briefly glanced at him before returning his gaze in front.

Han Su maintained a cool expression as he inquired, "So... what will happen after this? You get what I mean, don't you? Once those people wake up, they will definitely look for the escapees. We're good since we're almost out of the forest. But it won't stay like this for long. The school admin might go after us and retrieve us even if we're back in the city. I suspect they have ties with some influential people. Otherwise, their school won't stay for long." The male lead paused for a while before adding, "What I'm saying is that they can definitely trace us. Aren't you worried those who sent you away will gladly cooperate with them in searching for you?"

"Why worry for something that will definitely happen?" 'Especially if even those dogs look for me, they will no longer find me or have anywhere to dump me.'

"Because you'll need to do something about it." The male lead seriously replied, not at all baffled by what the other half-heartedly answered to him.  

"Oh."

Jiang Li had no intention to reveal stuff to somebody he just met, even if he was the favored son of heaven. He kept quiet and just silently walked, looking forward to arriving in the city and getting a decent place to rest at.

As they reached the end of the forest and entered a region with only gra.s.ses on both sides, the male lead sped up his pace. Despite it not showing in his face, the excitement was there, and it helped ease his annoyance at Jiang Li who seemed to like treating him as air.

Fortunately, modern towns were unlike ancient ones where people would be blocked by tall walls and would only be able to get inside during the daytime after paying some coins to the guards. When they reached the part of the road where houses and shops, of course, with closed doors, could be seen more frequently, Jiang Li said to the male lead, "Let's separate from here. Safe trip. Bye."

That time, Han Su had finally realized that one more problem to deal with was how to contact a trusted somebody from the family and help him get through the night.

"Hey, wait!" He shouted upon seeing Jiang Li changing directions and taking the right turn of the intersection. A moment later, he just blankly stared into the dark and lonely street. 

"Where did he go?" Puzzlement crossed his face after some time. He was about to ask if he has money and could lend him some for the payphone. But when did Jing Mo leave? He seemed to have no recollection of the other guy suddenly vanis.h.i.+ng.  Also, apart from freezing from the cold, why does he feel like his legs were about to break? Was it because he momentarily stopped that the fatigue from walking for two hours finally rus.h.i.+ng into him?

The muted system who wished it could talk to Han Su: h.e.l.lo, the male lead of this world. My sincerest apology on my host's behalf. But for being too noisy while he was in a bad mood, you've been hypnotized to stand there for an hour... My host is already inside a 24/7 internet cafe comfortably sitting in front of a computer after hypnotizing another victim. Now I really want to cry...

The system was feeling down because Jiang Li had definitely done something using the computer apart from hacking some unfortunate group's bank record. Regrettably, it couldn't say a thing and remind him. It could only watch its host play around with codes and accounts, forgetting he was supposed to live an honest life...
