When Night Cat saw that he was awake, he helped him sit up and lean against the back of the seat. Night Cat then leaned against the other side of the car window, lit a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.
The smell of smoke instantly filled the entire carriage.
"I choked to death!"
Xu Nuo had just woken up and, smelling the smoke, frowned and said:
"Where is this? Where did you put my brother's men?"
"Haha~~~ Your brother's men handed you over to me and left!"
Night Owl rolled the car window all the way down and stuck his cigarette out the window.
"ah?"
Xu Nuo patted the back of his head, still a little dazed, and didn't immediately understand what Ye Mao had said!
"Lin Yan originally intended to send you abroad through Uncle Lin, but I don't know why he changed his mind and decided to send you to Uncle Lin's place so you could wait there for him to bring you back!"
Night Owl laughed as he spoke:
"Do you think he'll be furious if he finds out we're in cahoots?!"
The wind blowing in through the car window helped Xu Nuo clear her head a bit: "You mean, my brother changed his mind and is sending me to Uncle Lin's instead of sending me to school?"
"Oh! They want me to take good care of you! Aren't you happy?"
The night owl turned to look out the car window and tossed the cigarette butt in his hand!
Xu Nuo recalled what Ye Linyan had said to her before she fell asleep.
'You stay put and wait for me to come pick you up!'
Why do you have such a bad temper?
'I'm not agreeing to the arranged marriage, stop making trouble.'
With a wry smile, Xu Nuo leaned back in her chair, a bitter feeling welling up inside her.
After letting the wind blow on him for a while, the night owl finally closed the car window. When he turned around, he saw that Xu Nuo's eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, and he was stunned!
"Were you moved to tears?"
"No!"
Xu Nuo tilted her head, gently closed her eyes, and didn't want to speak.
The night owl stretched, not even looking at Xu Nuo, and lazily said:
"Do you know that you're now a prominent figure in Yuncheng!"
With her eyes closed, Xu Nuo hummed a sentence: "Speak like a human!"
"Nan Qing'an posted something on WeChat Moments, and now almost everyone in Yuncheng knows that you two have publicly come out as gay!"
"What?"
Xu Nuo suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight: "What WeChat Moments? Do you have it? Let me see!"
Night Owl took out his phone, opened a picture in his album, and handed it to Xu Nuo.
Looking at the photo of him and Nan Qing'an, Xu Nuo thought for a moment and realized that it must have been taken at his manor in Fenglingdu. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time!
Looking at the description of Nan Qing'an's pairing, Xu Nuo felt completely overwhelmed. He had just woken up and his head was still a little heavy!
Are you sure it was posted by him?
Xu Nuo found it hard to believe. Nan Qing'an was the chairman of Nanfeng Group, the kind of person whose love life would make local headlines!
"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt! Rui Rui has confirmed it; it was him who posted it! There's more news coming up; you can check it out yourself!"
The night owl rested his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.
Xu Nuo flipped through a few pages and sure enough, the matter had already made it to various sections. Judging from the situation, not only was no one trying to suppress it, but it seemed that someone was actually pushing things along behind the scenes!
"What does Nan Qing'an mean by this?"
Xu Nuo put down his phone and thought things through.
The car was still speeding along the road. Xu Nuo sorted out his thoughts and was trying to figure out Nan Qing'an's intentions in doing this.
Night Owl leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, unable to fall asleep. He was craving a cigarette, so he pulled out another one. Remembering Xu Nuo's earlier shout of choking, he opened his eyes, lit the cigarette, and then put it directly into Xu Nuo's mouth.
"What! I don't want to smoke!"
Xu Nuo tilted her head slightly.
"Go ahead and smoke, you smoke too, then it won't be so pungent!" Night Owl shoved the cigarette into Xu Nuo's mouth again before lighting one for himself.
"You know how to smoke, don't you? What? Lin Yan won't let you smoke?"
Xu Nuo took a light sniff, removed the cigarette from his hand, and opened the car window.
"I just don't like smoking!"
After saying that, watching the shadows of the trees rushing past the window, Ye Linyan's words, "Give it up!" echoed in his mind again!
Where are we going?
Xu Nuo was a little annoyed. She straightened up; she had slept for too long and her neck was a bit uncomfortable. She wondered where Ye Linyan had gotten this medicine!
"border!"
The night owl had a cigarette in his mouth and was fiddling with his phone.
"So hasty! What, afraid that if I die, you won't get those lines! Heh~"
Xu Nuo chuckled, looked down, and realized that she was wearing clothes she had left at home.
"Uncle Lin is having a little trouble; there are some issues with those border lines!"
Night Owl spoke casually, but Xu Nuo grasped the key point in his words, threw the cigarette out of the car window, and asked seriously, "What's wrong with those lines?"
“Before, everyone else went their own way, and we went ours! But these past few days, I don’t know which road people have been causing trouble! Especially those lines of yours!”
Night Owl turned around and continued, "I think it's definitely related to you! They can't get through your network, but they're causing trouble for my people! Now, any of your networks that my people get close to will cause them trouble!"
"The people who are causing you trouble?" Xu Nuo squinted and pondered for a moment.
A name suddenly popped into my head.
'Nan Qing'an!'
Xu Nuo had previously suspected that Nan Qing'an was not as simple as he seemed, so he had Shao Rui and his people at the border investigate. They actually found out that Nan Qing'an did indeed have 'business' at the border!
Although he did much more discreetly than I did, Xu Nuo still managed to uncover it!
Xu Nuo looked up at Night Owl: "Have you and Uncle Lin found out who did it?"
"We've found the person causing trouble, but we have absolutely no clue who's behind it! What do you think is going on?"
"Night Owl asked back."
"Uncle Lin, do you suspect me?"
Xu Nuo looked at the night owl and laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"You can't blame Uncle Lin. What if you really defect to Nan Qing'an? You wouldn't want to use these contacts you have anymore! You're in the country, with Nan Qing'an protecting you. What can Uncle Lin do to you?"
Xu Nuo smiled and thought to herself, "Nan Qing'an really played this move brilliantly!"
He wouldn't let Lin Zheng's people use his own connections, and instead deliberately caused trouble for them. Coupled with his actions recently, it's hard not to be suspicious!
Xu Nuo suddenly understood Nan Qing'an's intention in posting that message on WeChat Moments!
"So, you're taking me to the border now to interrogate me?"
Night Owl exhaled a puff of smoke, looked out the car window, and said, "Didn't you say you'd give me those wires you had? I'll take you to hand them over!"
"Didn't I tell you, I still need these connections to make some money! I'll give it to you when I'm done! What's the rush?"
Xu Nuo went through the whole thing in his mind. Lin Zheng was not Ye Linyan. He could not unconditionally trust Xu Nuo, and he would not gamble on him!
If I were Lin Zheng, I probably would have become suspicious long ago!
After something like this happened, Lin Zheng wouldn't ignore it. But now, Night Cat isn't taking her to see Lin Zheng. What's going on here...?
Thinking of this, Xu Nuo tugged at the hem of Night Cat's clothes:
"Uncle Lin won't completely believe me, especially since it involves my brother. Did you speak up for me?"
Xu Nuo recalled that night she drank with Night Owl in the cloud, when Night Owl had told her, "My words still carry some weight over there!"
Night Owl smiled, turned around and looked at Xu Nuo for more than ten seconds before speaking:
"I'll stake my life on Uncle Lin and vouch for you!"
