As the gunfire subsided, Xu Nuo leaned against the wall, his hand still trembling slightly as he held the gun.
Seeing the old ghost turn around, Xu Nuo put the gun into his pocket.
"Why did you kill him? How am I supposed to explain this to Lin Zheng?!"
The old ghost's face completely lost its usual expression, replaced by a ferocious look!
"Because I want to kill him!"
Xu Nuo pushed aside the old ghost blocking his way: "Lin Zheng, you can say that I killed him!"
Old Ghost pondered for a moment, and then one of his men rushed in and whispered something to him.
Xu Nuo had no time to ponder what they were saying; her mind was entirely focused on Ye Linyan, who had just fallen.
"You can't stay here any longer. I'll have someone send you across the border first. President Nan is waiting for you over there!"
Old Ghost turned to his subordinate and said:
"Go prepare the car, right now!"
Xu Nuo turned around, her face filled with a chilling aura as she looked at the old ghost:
"Aren't you going to look for the Night Owl's corpse anymore? Aren't you afraid it'll come back to life?!"
Upon hearing Xu Nuo's words, Old Ghost laughed instead: "What's there to be afraid of? Even if he really comes back to life, I'll make him die again!"
"That's a great idea!"
Xu Nuo rolled her eyes, picked up Ye Linyan's phone, unlocked it, and dialed.
Who are you calling?
The moment Lao Gui moved, Xu Nuo stopped him with a gun.
"Brother Ruo'an, there was just a gunfight here, and a lot of people have arrived! Don't tell me you don't want to see me anymore?"
"Were you scared?"
Nan Qing'an sounded very happy, and his tone was gentler than before.
"Yeah! But you're really fierce! I'm actually a little scared!"
Old Ghost's face grew increasingly grim as Xu Nuo spoke.
"Then how can I overcome my fear?"
"It's too dangerous here. Have your men escort me to see you!"
"Give him the phone, Nono!"
Xu Nuo handed the phone to Lao Gui and raised an eyebrow at him.
Old Gui took the phone with a grim expression, but his tone was extremely respectful:
"General Manager Nan."
"Okay, I understand!"
Old Gui hung up the phone and handed it back to Xu Nuo with a gloomy face.
From what Old Ghost just said, it seems he wants to stay here and get himself out first!
The purpose of the promise was to get Lao Gui and his men out of the town. Even if Lao Gui left some men behind, there probably wouldn't be many!
Knowing that her own words would be useless, Xu Nuo then remembered Nan Qing'an.
Old Ghost is a meticulous, cunning, and treacherous man! Xu Nuo had heard about him from Night Owl before, but now that he had met him in person, he realized that what Night Owl said was absolutely true!
"Get your men together, we have to go!"
Xu Nuo gave the old ghost a wicked smile.
Do you still have bullets in your gun?
Old Ghost glanced at the gun in Xu Nuo's hand and walked out!
As Xu Nuo watched Lao Gui's departing figure, the smile on her lips slowly faded.
This old devil is probably even more difficult to deal with than Night Owl described!
...............................................................................................................
Before getting on the bus, Xu made a point of checking how many people were traveling with him. As he had expected, there were three buses but fewer than ten people.
Old Ghost definitely left people behind, but we don't know exactly how many.
Xu Nuo could only place all his hopes on night owls.
The commotion tonight has been so big. Even though it's the border, there's bound to be trouble. Xu Nuo closed her eyes in the car, thinking about what to do after she met Nan Qing'an.
What is Nan Qing'an doing overseas?
Xu Nuo suddenly realized that she had overlooked this matter!
Why is he running abroad instead of staying in the country? Unless it's something that absolutely requires his intervention to resolve!
Lin Zheng!
As Night Owl said, Lin Zheng is very ill and has less than a year left to live!
Could it be that Nan Qing'an fled abroad because of Lin Zhengcai?
Xu Nuo pondered for a moment, but still couldn't be sure!
Fortunately, Shao Rui had investigated the events of that year early on, and Xu Nuo confirmed that the person she met at the sanatorium was Nan Qing'an!
However, at that time I was blind, and he didn't talk much. Besides, his name was Ruo'an back then, which I had long forgotten!
If it weren't for the night owl's reminder that day, Xu Nuo would never have thought of this matter, no matter how hard he tried!
The more Xu Nuo thought about it, the more of a headache she felt!
I'm so tired! If I hadn't been so tense, I think I could have fallen asleep the moment my head hit the pillow!
Once the thought crossed her mind, drowsiness surged over her. Just as Xu Nuo felt herself about to fall asleep, her phone beeped twice in her pocket.
Just then, the car bumped a bit. Xu Nuo took out her phone, unlocked it, and saw a message from Cheng Ying:
"Lin Yan, why don't you answer my calls? I heard about what happened at your company, and I'm really worried about you! Even if we don't become a couple, let's still be old classmates! Let's meet up sometime!"
Xu Nuo looked at the end, and Cheng Ying even added a smiling emoji, her lips curling into a smile!
After checking his phone, Ye Linyan discovered that he had blocked Cheng Ying's number.
Xu Nuo hadn't looked through Ye Linyan's phone yet, but suddenly became interested and wasn't sleepy anymore.
Unfortunately, after looking around, there wasn't much to see!
I flipped to the photo album, but there was nothing there!
After idly swiping around a few times, Xu Nuo discovered an encrypted photo album at the very back of the desktop!
Clicking on it will bring up a password input screen!
Xu Nuo pouted, tried twice and entered the correct information, then opened the photo album.
There were only a dozen or so photos and a few videos inside!
Opening the photos, the first one was a picture of Xu Nuo sleeping. The angle wasn't good, and she looked too fat in the photo. Xu Nuo mentally complained about Ye Linyan's photography skills!
The photo also shows the iron chain on his wrist, which was probably taken in the break room of his office.
Turning to the second picture, it was a photo of two arms together. Xu Nuo recognized it as his and Ye Linyan's arms. Ye Linyan hadn't lied to him after all; he really had bitten a tooth mark on his own arm!
Remembering what Ye Linyan had said to her, Xu Nuo suddenly felt a little envious.
She pulled the hood up over her head, nestled into the seat, and magnified the two teeth marks with her hand.
What was Ye Linyan's name again? I forgot!
However, he remembered that it meant the two of them had secretly pledged their lives to each other!
Honestly! I had no idea when it was taken. When did he develop this habit of secretly taking pictures?
Xu Nuo flipped to the next page.
It's a photo of Ye Linyan leaning against the headboard, holding her sleeping self in her arms!
Xu Nuo stared at the photo and pondered for a moment. It must have been taken by Ye Linyan after she fell asleep on the day she left!
Swipe back to see the photo of the two of them on the rooftop in the clouds, but it's obviously taken from a photograph and is a bit blurry.
There seemed to be some writing on it. Xu Nuo zoomed in and saw clearly that it was text typed on a mobile phone, right above the photo of the two of them:
miss you..........
