“…............…”
Xu Nuo had already made such a promise, yet Nan Qing'an was still asking how he could trust him.
Nan Qing'an stared into Xu Nuo's eyes, and his expression gradually changed. The gentleness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an indescribable meaning.
After being stared at by Nan Qing'an for a while, Xu Nuo felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to her entire body.
"Brother Ruo'an?"
"Um?"
Nan Qing'an stared into his eyes without moving, only humming a soft verse.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Xu Nuo felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she shifted her body and changed her sitting posture.
"Because you're beautiful! I can't get enough of you!"
Nan Qing'an returned.
"I'll take care of things with Lin Zheng for you, and then we'll go back to Yun City together..."
Xu Nuo felt a little flustered by that gaze, picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and tried to calm herself down.
"Nono, I'm worried!"
A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he stared at Xu Nuo:
"Ye Linyan gave up everything in Yuncheng to come for you! If you get moved and actually elope with him, then I'll have gained nothing!"
Xu Nuo cleared his throat and replied:
"If I wanted to go with him, I would have gone with him that night in town! Why would I have shot him? We don't even know if he's alive or dead now. Maybe he's already reporting to the King of Hell!"
Nan Qing'an will find out sooner or later that Ye Linyan is not dead, so Xu Nuo shouldn't make any definitive statements.
Both shots hit his left shoulder. Although they weren't fatal, Xu Nuo was still filled with lingering fear from the moment he fell.
Before he went to find him, he tried countless methods, but Xu Nuo felt they were all useless. At that time, Xu Nuo was still not sure whether Lao Gui was Nan Qing'an's man or not!
If Old Ghost really is Nan Qing'an's man, then Ye Linyan is in a deadly trap!
Only in this way can Ye Linyan's life be saved, while also making Ye Linyan give up on him and return to Yuncheng in peace!
But what Ye Linfang said to him that night made him realize that he had underestimated Ye Linyan's intelligence. Ye Linyan could clearly understand everything he had done!
"I won't go with him! If I wanted to, I wouldn't have shot him!"
Xu Nuo looked Nan Qing'an straight in the eye, his tone incredibly firm.
Nan Qing'an gently shook his head: "Words are no proof."
"So what do you plan to do? Fight Lin Zheng to the death?"
Xu Nuo felt that he had explained things clearly enough, and anyone who wasn't a fool could understand the pros and cons.
Clearly, Nan Qing'an is not a fool; he is just too obsessed with Xu Nuo. The thought of Xu Nuo meeting Ye Linyan drives him crazy with jealousy!
"Nono, do you know what Lin Zhengyou is that I don't have?"
Nan Qing'an gently lifted the glasses perched on his nose, slowly took them off, and placed them on the table.
Xu Nuo thought for a moment. The information he had found was too limited. However, apart from Lin Zheng not being involved with drugs, it seemed that there was no one else here!
poison?
Xu Nuo immediately thought of some information she had received before.
Nan Qing'an kept his eyes fixed on Xu Nuo, noticing every subtle expression on his face:
"The reason Lin Zheng has been poor all these years is not because there are many people in his area, but because he doesn't do the most profitable businesses! However, he occupies the best geographical location and holds the best military resources!"
Nan Qing'an stood up and slowly walked behind Xu Nuo:
"Therefore, I am determined to get Lin Zheng!"
Xu Nuo remained seated, letting Nan Qing'an place his hands on his shoulders.
"I have the latest technology and the best R&D personnel! So, I'm richer than Lin Zheng, but he's in my way!"
Nan Qing'an slowly leaned down and whispered in Xu Nuo's ear:
"I've recently developed a new drug that will make you obediently return to my side after you've finished your business!"
Nan Qing'an's words floated lightly into Xu Nuo's ears, yet they sent a chill down Xu Nuo's spine!
Xu Nuo knew perfectly well what he meant by the new drug he mentioned!
Nan Qing'an sensed Xu Nuo's nervousness in his hand, and a smile crept onto his lips:
"Don't be afraid, there are no side effects, it's short-lived, and it won't get you addicted! As long as you come back obediently, I have a way to get rid of it!"
Xu Nuo snorted coldly: "I've never heard of that before!"
"I already told you, it's a new drug I developed!"
Nan Qing'an patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder, returned to his previous seat, sat down, and looked at Xu Nuo with a smile.
Xu Nuo knew he was waiting for his answer; he had given himself a choice!
Close your eyes, inhale the fragrance of lilies filling the air, and when you open them again, your eyes will be full of smiles:
"It's because you like lilies!"
Nan Qing'an tilted his head, seemingly not understanding Xu Nuo's words.
Xu Nuo smiled brightly: "Since Brother Ruo'an is so worried about me, then I'll help you try your new medicine! That way you can have peace of mind!"
"I won't use you as a guinea pig, but I need this peace of mind!"
Nan Qing'an stared at Xu Nuo for a long while, then suddenly changed the subject:
"Nono, let's go see the lilies! Back in the sanatorium, you sat among the lilies and smiled so beautifully!"
Xu Nuo smiled but her eyes didn't reach her eyes. Nevertheless, she got up and went with Nan Qing'an to admire the lilies he had grown.
Standing by the window, Xu Nuo looked at Nan Qing'an's profile, cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart!
Xu Nuo made a decision in his heart: even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he would find out exactly what was wrong with Nan Qing'an in the sanatorium back then!
He was now absolutely certain that Nan Qing'an was mentally unstable, or at least different from a normal person!
.......................................................................................................
Nan Qing'an stayed by Xu Nuo's side all day, talking about things that Xu Nuo couldn't remember at all, until after dinner, when he left Xu Nuo alone in the bedroom!
Xu Nuo thought he had something to take care of and wouldn't be back for a while, so she lay in bed and started thinking about what to do next!
Unexpectedly, Nan Qing'an returned with two people in white coats after only a dozen minutes of absence.
Xu Nuo's heart sank when she saw the briefcases in the two people's hands.
"Nono, don't be afraid, it'll be over soon."
Nan Qing'an sat down next to Xu Nuo and, seeing his changed expression, spoke in a comforting tone.
Xu Nuo sat up, regained her composure, and smiled.
"Don't worry, just relax! How do I do it?"
Nan Qing'an pulled Xu Nuo's arm, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed his elbow!
The two people who followed them in had already opened their briefcases, taken out a syringe, and walked over!
Nan Qing'an reached out and gently covered his eyes, coaxing him softly:
Don't look.
"I've never seen this before, let me see!"
Xu Nuo spoke in a relaxed tone and used his other hand to pull down Nan Qing'an's hand that was covering his eyes.
