Exhaustion finally struck and Ning Ran fell asleep.

However, she was constantly waking up and falling asleep again.

After repeating this futile action for a while, Ning Ran reckoned that nothing particularly bad was going to happen to her if she slept. As such, she finally managed to sleep soundly.

When Ning Ran awoke, she realized that it was very quiet. The RV seemed to have stopped as well.

She soon noticed that Ruan Anxi was seated in front of her, his eyes sharp.

Ning Ran was so startled that she jolted awake and folded her arms around her chest defensively.

Ruan Anxi smiled wickedly at this. “You look like a hamster when you're startled.”

“Your mother was a hamster!”

Ning Ran had not slept well, so she felt quite annoyed at having to be awake.

On top of that, Ruan Anxi's eyes were clearly filled with malice and ill-intent. As such, Ning Ran was even more enraged and chose to take it out on him.

However, Ruan Anxi did not seem to be angered by it. With a wave of his hand, he said, “Continue sleeping. It's not daylight yet.”

“Where are we?”

This made Ning Ran stop short. Why am I even asking this? Why would Ruan Anxi disclose our current whereabouts?

To her surprise, Ruan Anxi chose to be truthful. “Gerton. We're refueling at Myerville Rest Area. The driver is going to rest for a moment before we continue on our journey.”

“Why did you bring me to Gerton?” asked Ning Ran in shock.

“There are only two main passages leading out Livingsfill. One runs south and passes through Springwood which leads you directly to the border. The other is northwest and passes through Lightspring, leading us to Gerton. Since you don't want me to take you abroad, I can only bring you around Gerton,” explained Ruan Anxi.

This man is truly strange. He's being very patient and not hiding his intentions.

“Why are you holding me hostage?” asked Ning Ran, enraged.
