"Are you capable of making that decision?"

Xu Nuo's fox-like eyes were half-closed as he looked at the old ghost.

"Your lives are both in my hands. Do you think I can make that decision?"

Old Ghost took another step forward.

Xu Nuo fired a shot near his feet:

"Don't try any tricks on me, call your master here!"

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the door was immediately opened, and the person at the door took only a few steps in before Old Gui waved him away again.

"Uncle Lin has already left the country, you won't be able to see him!"

"I'm talking about your master, not Lin Zheng!"

Xu Nuo repeated himself.

"But I only have one master! Heh! Hand over Night Owl! I'll let you two go!"

Old Ghost became a little impatient.

“I told you, Night Owl is dead! He listened to Lin Zheng and tried to kill me. Now that I’m standing here, do you think he can still be alive?”

Xu Nuo noticed Lao Gui's impatience and began to make plans in his mind.

"You killed Night Owl?"

After listening for so long, Ye Linyan had roughly pieced together some clues. He tilted his head slightly and asked.

"He's going to fucking kill me, why wouldn't I kill him?! Am I supposed to just wait to be killed?!"

Xu Nuole loosened his grip on Ye Linyan's neck and whispered in his ear again:

"Brother, aren't you going to call your uncle? This guy is really indifferent to your life or death!"

Ye Linyan reached into his pocket to take out his phone, but his eyes were fixed on Lao Gui.

"Young Master! Don't be fooled by him! Uncle Lin has given orders that Xu is not to leave alive!"

Old Ghost looked at Ye Linyan as he took out his phone and said...

"So you were going to let me go just now?"

"I said I want the night owl! Of course, his corpse is fine too!"

Old Gui shifted his gaze from Ye Linyan's hand holding the phone to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo pressed the gun-wielding hand against Ye Linyan's head forcefully: "Shoot!"

Although Ye Linyan didn't know why Xu Nuo insisted that he make the call, and judging from Xu Nuo's words, there might be someone behind Lao Gui, and it wasn't Lin Zheng, so if he made the call now, wouldn't that be...

Ye Linyan held the phone and looked at Lao Gui.

Old Ghost raised an eyebrow at Ye Linyan, his meaning clear: he didn't care at all whether Ye Linyan would actually call Lin Zheng.

"I told you to hit me!"

Xu Nuo tightened his grip on her arm, and Ye Linyan frowned before dialing Lin Zheng's number.

Xu Nuo's eyes never left Lao Gui; he stared intently at Lao Gui's every subtle movement.

The call went unanswered, only to be met with a busy signal!

Ye Linyan glanced at his phone, hung up, and dialed again, but it was still busy.

Old Ghost smiled at Xu Nuo:

Have you given up?

"Where is my uncle?" Ye Linyan asked coldly, staring at Lao Gui after hearing his words and recalling the whole series of events.

Old Ghost ignored Ye Linyan and only looked at Xu Nuo:

"Hand over Night Cat and I'll let you two go! Don't! Tomorrow, I guarantee everyone will know you killed Night Cat and Ye Linyan!"

Old Ghost sneered and said, "Xu Nuo, now that you've fallen into this trap, you can't escape!"

"Why should I leave? I've been running around in the mountains for two days and one night, and I'm looking for a good place to have a big meal and a good night's sleep!"

Xu Nuo released Ye Linyan and pointed the gun at Lao Gui.

"Brother, is this the first time you've seen me kill someone? Was it fun?"

Ye Linyan glanced at the two people Xu Nuo had shot and killed earlier, and at the lingering smell of blood in the room. He frowned and remained silent.

"Killing me won't do you any good. I told you, even if you leave this hotel, you won't be able to leave this town!"

Old Gui stared at the dark muzzle of the gun, showing no fear whatsoever.

"I know."

As he spoke, Xu Nuo lowered the arm that was holding the gun.

He turned to Ye Linyan and said, "Give me the phone!"

Although Ye Linyan didn't know what Xu Nuo was going to do, he still handed over the phone.

Xu Nuo looked at Lao Gui, licked his little tiger tooth, and dialed a number.

Old Gui was a little curious about who Xu Nuo would call at this time, but he wasn't in a hurry. He leaned against the wall and watched Xu Nuo make the call.

The phone rang four or five times before it was answered.

“............................”

There was no response from the other end. Xu Nuo chuckled and said:

"President Nan, your men are trying to kill me!"

When Lao Gui heard the name "General Manager Nan," his expression froze instantly.

Ye Linyan looked at him with great confusion.

I could hear faint breathing on the other end of the phone, but there was no reply yet.

Seeing Lao Gui's expression, Xu Nuo laughed even harder and said into the phone:

"Mr. Nan, you can't even recognize my voice, can you, Brother Ruo'an?"

"Nono, you remember me?"

Nan Qing'an's voice, as gentle as ever, visibly trembled when he heard the words "Brother Ruo'an".

"I remember now! But it seems like your people don't want me to see you!"

Xu Nuo looked at Lao Gui, who was showing his little tiger teeth, and smiled with his eyes crinkling.

"Give him the phone!"

Xu Nuo handed the phone to Lao Gui and winked.

Old Ghost glanced at the phone, then at Ye Linyan behind Xu Nuo, before answering it:

"General Manager Nan!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Xu Nuo couldn't hear what Nan Qing'an said on the phone, but he could roughly guess.

Seeing the old ghost's obviously darkened face, Xu Nuo smiled and said:

"See! I told you to contact your master sooner! But you wouldn't listen to me!"

Old Ghost was now filled with regret. He shouldn't have been talking back to Xu Nuo earlier; he should have just shot them both dead!

It's too late to regret it now. He just doesn't know how Xu Nuo knew he was from Nan Qing'an!

Seeing the obvious resentment on Old Ghost's face, Xu Nuo put the gun back in his pocket and said:

"Don't even think about it! Nan Qing'an already told me that you're his woman!"

Old Ghost looked at Xu Nuo with suspicion, completely ignoring the fact that there was another person in the room:

Why would he tell you?

"We're a couple!"

Xu Nuo chuckled softly:

"Now you can believe me, I really killed Night Owl! This time, Lin Zheng outside the border, you're in charge!"

Old Ghost wouldn't easily believe Xu Nuo's words; he was pondering in his heart how much of what he said was true!

"This place is too small, I'm not used to it! Find me a nicer hotel!"

Old Gui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xu Nuo would make such a request to him so soon after he put down his gun.

"I have to cross the border tomorrow, so I'll just have to make do for the night! There are no hotels in this town!"

"Then take me somewhere with a hotel!"

Xu Nuo raised his head: "Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. Tomorrow I'll take you to find Night Owl's corpse!"

Old Ghost glanced at Xu Nuo, and nodded upon hearing about Night Owl's corpse:

"Okay! I'll go arrange it!"

After Lao Gui left the room, Xu Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the bed.

Before he could even think of Ye Linyan, a pair of sneakers appeared in front of him. He raised his head and met Ye Linyan's eyes.

"Tell me, how exactly are you and Nan Qing'an so close?"
