64 Bet Her Life (1/2)

”Hopefully young Master's plan goes through, otherwise getting beat up by their men will almost be worth it.”

Rin and Xu Mujin, standing at the side of the cliff, calmly watched the man's figure disappear from their sight.

”Don't worry, if he really cares for his family he'll follow my orders.” Rin casually said.

Xu Mujin stared at the Rin standing beside him, her steady eyes staring ahead toward the mountains.

Before the assassination against Rin and Captain Delun's men kidnapping her, Rin received a letter from Xu Mujin through Ju informing her of the captain's suspicious activity, as well as his recent visits from a mysterious emissary.

From the beginning, Rin ordered Xu Mujin to secretly spy on Captain Delun's activity. After meeting him, Rin's suspicion toward Captain Delun was confirmed.

He was definitely the man who caused the previous captains' death.

His motives were also relatively apparent on their first meeting.

If Governor Tao and his men were able to defend the city with their captain when Captain Delun refused to, then his image and status would plummet down tragically.

Therefore, executing their captain was his sole option. Once their captain was killed, Governor Tao would turn toward him and his plan of peace would fall through, including his status remaining stable.

After their attempted assignation toward her, Rin was aware he had another plan in store for her.

However, she was unaware of what it'd be.

Until Xu Mujin entered her room that night.

The minute he entered her room she had smelt the blood on his body, his clothes from what she could see were slightly torn and worn out.

Unsure but also guessing what happened Rin ignored him, and that was exactly when Xu Mujin had drugged her causing her to pass out.

When she awoke, she found her mouth covered by a cloth and her vision to be slightly hazy. All she could see was a white material in front of her face. When she stirred a bit, Xu Mujin holding her over his shoulder gripped tightly onto her.

Afterward, Rin pretended to be unconscious and wait for things to take place.

Therefore, leading to where the two were now.

In all honesty, even Rin was surprised by Xu Mujin drugging her.

However, she placed all her trust in her grandfather's personally appointed bodyguard. As well as Xu Mujin's loyalty toward her grandfather.

It was risky, but with war came risks. Including life-threatening ones.

As for the man Rin set free, although she had threatened the man's family's safety to have him follow her orders, she never thought of hurting them.

Sure, there were some things others had to do when it came to war, including losing a part of their sanity. However, Rin wasn't one to kill children and innocents to get her way.

Fortunately, the man didn't know that and fell for her threat.

”I do think young Master was reckless to risk your life on someone like me. Even if I was sent to protect you from your grandfather's orders, I'm still a stranger you've only known for half a month.” Xu Mujin wrinkled his brows as he looked at Rin.
