What was wrong with him? Didn't he know to put some clothes on first?
What kind of male seduction was he trying to pull?
Didn't he know she had zero resistance to him?
Tang Wu didn't dare to look at the man again. She fled back to her room.
With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut.
Frustrated, she crouched down, tilted her head back slightly, and pinched her nose.
Damn it!
Peeping at him coming out of the bathroom was bad enough, but she actually had a nosebleed right in front of him.
She had practically thrown her dignity all the way into the Pacific Ocean!
Outside the door, after pulling on a T-shirt, Si Yanli raised his long, well-defined fingers and knocked on the door.
"Are you alright?"
Tang Wu replied with a muffled voice, "I'm fine. The weather here is hot, I probably just have a bit of internal heat."
She absolutely refused to admit that she was seduced by the man's smooth, lean muscle lines and his V-cut!
Si Yanli stood outside for a moment. Seeing that she had no intention of opening the door, he frowned slightly and turned to leave.
He went to find the cameraman and director who had come with Tang Wu.
Upon learning that they were sent to Seville to shoot a documentary, he made a suggestion.
Hearing Si Yanli's suggestion, both the cameraman and the director agreed.
If the three of them were to fight alone in Seville, they would very likely lose their lives.
Si Yanli's proposal, on the other hand, would not only allow them to finish their work but perhaps also keep them alive.
After all, Si Yanli and Huo Zhixu had hired mercenaries here.
...
"Mr. Si and Mr. Huo are heading to the Ba tribe in the primeval jungle. Mr. Si asked the director and me to go with them so we can shoot the documentary along the way. Mr. Si wants you to stay here and wait for us to return before heading back to the country together." The cameraman relayed Si Yanli's proposal from last night to Tang Wu.
Tang Wu furrowed her delicate brows. "Leave me behind? Let you two go shoot the documentary? What makes you two so special? You both nearly peed your pants from fear yesterday. Are you sure you can shoot it better without me?"
The cameraman, "..."
Tang Wu narrowed her beautiful eyes. "Mr. Si's proposal is good, but if we're going, the three of us go together."
The cameraman looked troubled. "But Mr. Si explicitly said last night that he wouldn't take you."
Tang Wu's bright and beautiful face turned cold. "If he won't take me, we'll go shoot a different subject."
After packing her luggage, Tang Wu went to find Si Yanli.
Si Yanli was discussing the plan to enter the primeval jungle with Huo Zhixu and several mercenaries.
Seeing Tang Wu at the door, he raised his long fingers to push up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. "Is there something you need?"
Tang Wu strode in. "I want to go to the primeval jungle with you."
Huo Zhixu's peach-blossom eyes instantly lit up. "Sure."
Having a great beauty accompanying them on the journey would make it much more interesting.
Si Yanli, however, slightly darkened his handsome face. "No."
"I can take responsibility for my own safety. I won't hold you back." Tang Wu glanced at the darts in Huo Zhixu's hand and reached out to him. "Mr. Huo, may I borrow your darts for a moment?"
Huo Zhixu handed the darts to Tang Wu.
Tang Wu stood at the door and threw the dart directly into the dead center of the dartboard several meters away.
Huo Zhixu's jaw dropped. "Damn, you've got skills! I can't even hit the bullseye from close up, and you nailed it in one shot!"
Tang Wu raised an eyebrow at Si Yanli. "I'm not some weak, helpless woman."
Si Yanli looked at Tang Wu with deep, complex eyes. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Tang Wu was just coming over to inform Si Yanli. If he forcefully refused, she would go shoot other footage.
Since she had come to this place, she wasn't going to be a coward.
After Tang Wu left, Huo Zhixu gave a thumbs-up to her retreating back. "What a beauty with personality. My eyes are almost blinded by her charm."
Si Yanli, "..."
Seeing Si Yanli's utterly speechless expression, Huo Zhixu snorted lightly. "A guy like you, with a heart sealed in concrete, devoid of feelings and desires—you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
He then added a final stab, "That Mrs. Si who had a flash marriage with you is truly miserable!"
Huo Zhixu had been abroad for the past few years and had only recently returned to the country.
He had no idea that the Mrs. Si whom Si Yanli had married was actually Tang Wu.
Si Yanli couldn't be bothered to explain either.
...
Tang Wu insisted on tagging along. If he didn't let her go, she would shoot elsewhere, so Si Yanli had no choice but to agree.
Until they divorced, she was still his Mrs. Si in name.
He had a responsibility to protect her safety.
The group drove three off-road vehicles heading toward the primeval jungle.
After several hours, they encountered quite a few dangers along the way.
Fortunately, the mercenaries brought by Si Yanli and Huo Zhixu were highly skilled, so they mostly experienced close calls without any real harm.
Tang Wu and her two colleagues sat in the car with Si Yanli and Huo Zhixu.
Huo Zhixu drove, and Si Yanli sat in the passenger seat. Si Yanli was wearing a black tactical suit today; his aloof and elegant aura now carried a hint of heroic sharpness.
After arriving at the primeval jungle, the vehicles couldn't go any further, so they had to proceed on foot.
However, they hadn't walked far before a number of thugs chased after them.
They were all the same thugs who had attacked them on the road.
They had trailed them all the way here.
Several mercenaries engaged the thugs in the rear, while Si Yanli and Huo Zhixu quickly led Tang Wu and the others deeper into the jungle.
The group ran for nearly an hour.
The cameraman and director were panting heavily, completely unable to run anymore.
Huo Zhixu also wanted to stop and rest. He stood at the edge of a slope. It had rained the night before, and the soil there was loose. In a moment of inattention, his body uncontrollably pitched forward down the slope.
"Damn! Lao Yan, help!"
Without a second thought, Si Yanli reached out to grab Huo Zhixu.
But his feet slipped as well, and he was pulled down along with Huo Zhixu.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Tang Wu threw herself toward the two men without even thinking.
As a result, she missed and ended up falling down as well.
The cameraman and director were both dumbfounded.
The two looked at each other, not daring to take another step forward.
After quite a while, the two slowly edged forward a few steps.
Looking down, they immediately turned deathly pale from fright.
At first glance, the place looked like a slope, but beneath the slope was a bottomless cliff.
After Tang Wu and the other two fell, there was no trace of them.
If their guess was right, the three of them had fallen down the cliff.
Falling from such a height, wouldn't they fall to their deaths?
In fact, the moment Tang Wu fell, she also thought she was going to die.
Fortunately, they were quite lucky. The few of them were successively caught by the tall tree branches before landing on the loose, soft soil.
Aside from some minor injuries, they were fine.
Si Yanli looked coldly at Huo Zhixu, his voice sharper and sterner than ever before. "Next time you walk, watch where you're going. Stop being so careless!"
Still trembling with lingering fear, Huo Zhixu rubbed his nose. "I know, Lao Yan. I was scared half to death just now too." After saying that, he looked over at Tang Wu. "I say, Beauty Tang, why did you jump down too? Don't tell me you fell in love with me at first sight?"
