When Nan Qing'an informed Xu Nuo in the afternoon that she could set off, Xu Nuo felt that she was still in a state of high excitement.
Nan Qing'an handed Xu Nuo a cell phone. Xu Nuo glanced at it and asked:
"Where's the phone I brought? I want that one!"
Nan Qing'an looked somewhat displeased, but still replied, "Throw it away! That's not your phone!"
"If you threw it away, find it! I want that phone!"
Xu Nuo said sternly, "That's Ye Linyan's phone. It contains photos of the two of them together, and short videos..."
With technology so advanced these days, who knows if Nan Qing'an might crack the phone and leak the contents...
Seeing Xu Nuo's determined expression, Nan Qing'an figured it was just a cell phone. He had already checked it and found nothing useful. After hesitating for a while, he still had someone bring the phone to Xu Nuo.
"Keep this phone with you too, so I can reach you anytime!"
Without even a second thought, it was clear that Nan Qing'an had installed a tracking system on this phone. Xu Nuo didn't refuse and put the phone into her jacket pocket.
As soon as Xu Nuo left the small building, she saw Lao Gui waiting there, just as she had expected.
There were more than twenty people standing behind him, all of them fully armed. They didn't look like ordinary armed personnel; they looked more like well-trained mercenaries!
"Wow, that's quite a big operation!"
Nan Qing'an smiled at Xu Nuo: "I'll protect you! Don't you dare run around!"
"Heh, with such a big fuss, how could I dare to run away!"
Xu Nuo's gaze fell on the small box that Lao Gui was carrying: "If you take too much of this, won't you die?"
"It won't be excessive."
Nan Qing'an replied.
"That old devil has a grudge against me no matter what. If he tries to kill me on the way, I won't even have a chance to fight back!"
"These mercenaries only listen to me. Once you successfully deal with Lin Zheng, they will listen to you!"
Nan Qing'an straightened Xu Nuo's collar, pulled the zipper down to reveal two hickeys, and said:
"I told you I'm handing Old Ghost over to you. Once you've finished your business, they'll be under your command. You can handle things as you see fit!"
Xu Nuo spread his hands at Nan Qing'an: "I'm still on the kill list, aren't I? Aren't you going to give me something to protect myself?"
"I've prepared one for you, but I don't like the way you look with a gun! Someone will give it to you on the way."
"Then I thank you in advance, Mr. Nan!"
"What did you call me?"
“Uh… Brother Ruoan…”
...........................................................................................................................
Night Owl was scrolling through his tablet, his four-legged chair with only one leg touching the ground, swaying back and forth as he laughed.
Ye Linyan sat at the doorway, staring blankly at the sky.
Neither of the two gunshot wounds damaged any vital organs. His left arm is still not fully mobile, but his basic mobility is no longer affected!
Hearing the night owl's hearty laughter, Ye Linyan didn't even turn his head, still staring blankly at the misty sky.
Night Owl stood up, walked behind Ye Linyan, holding a tablet computer, and said with a laugh:
"Both of your names are on the kill list! First and second! Oh dear! Our way back isn't going to be peaceful!"
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Linyan spoke calmly.
"Someone's offering fifty million to kill you! You're number one on the kill list!"
Night Owl handed the tablet computer in his hand to Ye Linyan.
Ye Linyan looked away and glanced at the photos. His own photo was in the first position, followed by a photo of Xu Nuo, with the words '20 million' written on it!
"If Xu Nuo knew you were so much more expensive than him, he'd probably be furious!"
Night Owl turned off the tablet screen, sat down by the door, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and put it in his mouth.
He then threw the cigarette and lighter into Ye Linyan's arms.
"Your injuries are almost healed, we need to hurry back! With such a high price, and with so few men I can't guarantee you'll be safe! We need to get back to our base as soon as possible!"
"I want to go back to Yuncheng."
Ye Linyan lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said.
"You can't go back! You'll be stopped before you even get to the airport! There are several groups of people looking for you at the border right now! Do you think I don't want to get you back!"
Ye Linyan took a deep drag on his cigarette, watched the smoke dissipate in front of him, and exhaled:
"Don't you have other routes? Could you bypass the south city?"
Night Owl chuckled: "Isn't that even more dangerous! You can't even walk on the main road, and you want to take other routes! Do you want to die too slowly?"
"Just leave me here and go! It'll save you trouble!"
Ye Linyan learned that Lao Gui was Nan Qing'an's man and wondered if Lin Zheng would be in danger. He wanted Ye Mao to go back first, as taking him along would undoubtedly be a huge burden!
A burden? When Ye Linyan thought of this word, he also thought of Xu Nuo.
I never imagined that one day I would become a burden to someone else!
"You think this place is impregnable? You think it's a fortified wall? The moment I leave, you'll be dead! How am I supposed to explain this to Uncle Lin?!"
Night Owl turned his head and sized up Ye Linyan:
Do you have any money left? How will you get home if you don't have any?
When money was mentioned, Ye Linyan gave a bitter smile: "I'm penniless!"
"Oh!" the night owl exclaimed, its voice carrying a hint of mockery.
"Isn't this just like Qin Qiong selling his horse and Yang Zhi selling his sword?"
Ye Linyan chuckled helplessly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and said, "Qin Qiong can at least sell his horse, and Yang Zhi can at least sell his sword! I have nothing on me! I can't even sell anything!"
"You're wrong!" Night Owl looked Ye Linyan up and down, his eyes full of mockery:
"With your looks and figure, you could fetch a good price! I'll help you find a good customer and get a good price, how about that? At least you'll earn enough for your travel expenses to get home!"
Ye Linyan gave Night Cat a cold glance: "Fine! You find me a good customer! I'll have my uncle thank you properly for me!"
"Hey! You're going all out with this! I'm trying to help you figure out how to get home!"
The night owl spat out the cigarette from his mouth; it was too light, he wasn't used to it!
"Home? Do I still have a home?"
Ye Linyan lowered his eyes, looking at the cigarette in his hand that was more than half burned.
Yuncheng is not my home...................
