When Xu Nuo appeared in the suite on the top floor of the cloud with a big bouquet of roses, she had a smile on her face. As soon as she entered the room, she asked Shao Rui if he had a bottle.
"Someone was taking pictures at the entrance!"
Xu Nuo was holding roses and searching for a vase all over the room when she heard Shao Rui's words. She paused for a moment, then smiled.
"I knew it! Why were they delivering flowers to me at the door?"
Having just finished dinner, Nan Qing'an walked to the entrance of the Cloud Hall and presented him with a large bouquet of roses.
Why did he send you flowers? And why are you so happy?
Shao Rui adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and asked.
"Because this is the first time I've ever received flowers!"
Xu Nuo searched around but couldn't find a suitable bottle, so she could only place the bouquet in a corner of the sofa.
"Nan Qing'an said that he fell in love with me at first sight and has his eye on me!"
"Bullshit!"
Shao Rui pushed up his glasses and said something.
Hahaha~~~~~~
"Rui Rui, you're so cute!"
"This Nan Qing'an, first with his handsome man, then with bribery! He really has no originality at all!"
Xu Nuo lay leisurely on the sofa, occasionally touching the roses with her hand.
"Someone deliberately took the photo, don't you think about that?"
"Can you tell who it is?"
"They were fully armed, and we managed to get a picture of them, but even if we bumped into each other, we wouldn't recognize them!"
"It really is! Sigh... another attempt at sowing discord!"
Xu Nuo took out her phone and opened her chat window with Ye Linyan:
'Brother, what are you doing?'
After waiting for a long time without a reply, Xu Nuo turned off his phone. He was already used to Ye Linyan not replying to his messages.
If there's an emergency, I'll call. I'll only send messages when there's nothing urgent.
If he wasn't mistaken, the photos or videos that were taken should have already reached Ye Linyan, but he didn't know how they would appear or who was behind this instigation!
"You said Nan Qing'an was very shrewd! I think he's blind!"
Shao Rui turned away from the computer, pushed his wheelchair to the table, and got some water.
"Tell me how you went blind?"
Xu Nuo plucked a flower from the bouquet and held it in her hand, playing with it.
"He's trying to turn you against him! What else could he be but blind?!"
"Maybe he thinks he's more charming than Ye Linyan! Or maybe I'm just greedy! Or maybe..."
As Xu Nuo finished speaking, he plucked off half of the petals from the rose.
"Rui Rui, what do you think will happen if I really run away to Nan Qing'an?"
Shao Rui was drinking water and almost choked. He wiped his mouth and said, "Then congratulations on escaping!"
"Tch~ Is it really as scary as you say!"
The hand that was plucking the flower petals stopped and turned to look at Shao Rui:
"Tell me, if I really ran off with Nan Qing'an, wouldn't he treat me like royalty once I got to his place?"
After Shao Rui tilted his head back and drank most of the glass of water, he shook his head at Xu Nuo:
"No, if you really dare to run away with Nan Qing'an, the lightest consequence you'll face is having your legs broken by Ye Linyan! The more serious consequence would be..."
Shao Rui made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Don't misunderstand me! It's not because you ran away with someone, it's just that you know too much! Even if you ran away to Nan Qing'an across the street, as long as you escape his grasp, he'll probably have sleepless nights!"
Xu Nuo stared intently at Shao Rui without saying a word!
"What, do you feel like what I said hurt your feelings?" Shao Rui saw Xu Nuo staring at him without saying a word, and even the smile that was always on his face disappeared, replaced by a sinister expression.
Shao Rui shook his head. Xu Nuo could change his expression; he'd known it since he was a child. But he wasn't afraid, so instead of stopping, he continued:
"Even if you don't want to hear it, listen to it! No one else will say this to you but me! Besides, I'm leaving, so you won't be able to hear it again!"
Xu Nuo only has one friend, Shao Rui. He has only ever had him since childhood. Normally, Shao Rui doesn't talk much, but these past two days he has been the most talkative!
Who told Shao Rui to only promise one friend!
"You're wrong!"
Xu Nuo plucked a petal and put it in her mouth.
"Rui Rui, let's make a bet, okay?"
"What are we betting on?"
"I bet my brother won't break my legs, he'll even find a way to get me away! Regardless of whether I really run off with Nan Qing'an or not!"
"Promise!"
"Hmm? What's wrong? You're scared to gamble? How about we set a small bet? Want to play with me?"
Xu Nuo smiled again, picked another rose from the bouquet, and handed it to Shao Rui.
"You've never received flowers before, have you? Here! I'll give you some!"
After a while, no one came to take the flowers from her hands, so Xu Nuo looked up at Shao Rui.
"Hopeless! Fack!"
Hehe~~~~~ Xu Nuo laughed to himself, and only after he had laughed enough did he remember that he still had something to do.
"We need to make some moves in the east of the city! Have we found out who went to meet with the people from 'over there' last time they met with Leopard?"
Xu Nuo threw the roses in her hand to the ground.
"It's all cleared up! And regarding the few loyal henchmen under Leopard that you mentioned, some of them... don't know Ye Linyan..."
Shao Rui held a stack of documents in his hand, watching Xu Nuo's gaze gradually darken as she looked at him, and then he didn't say anything more.
"Just because they don't know doesn't mean the leopard didn't tell them. Don't let your sympathy get the better of you, Rui Rui!"
"If you do this, Ye Linyan will only think..."
"Where is the Night Owl?" Xu Nuo interrupted Shao Rui impatiently.
Shao Rui's words were cut off, and he turned around dejectedly: "We've arrived! Lin Zheng came with us!"
"Lin Zheng came in person!"
Xu Nuo rolled her eyes, picked up her car keys, and left Yun Duan.
Lin Zheng, Ye Linyan's uncle, is a man who, after his subordinates rebelled, made a comeback in Myanmar. Xu Nuo has been handling many of the business dealings with him in recent years.
Given the current situation, his hasty return to China would be extremely risky. There must be something very important going on, otherwise Lin Zheng wouldn't have come in person. Thinking of this, he floored the accelerator.
In an old residential area in the east of the city, Xu Nuo went up to the second floor as if she knew the way well.
There was a person standing at the door. Xu Nuo thought the person looked somewhat familiar. When the person saw him, he opened the door for him.
As soon as she entered, a pungent smell of tobacco made Xu Nuo frown.
On the sofa, a middle-aged man was smoking.
"Uncle Lin! Why did you come in person!"
Xu Nuo stood next to the sofa and asked with a smile.
"If I don't come, you'll really go too far!" Lin Zheng looked up, revealing a scar on his left cheek that ran from below his eye to his jaw, looking rather frightening.
"How could that be!" Xu Nuo smiled, glancing around the room. She saw Night Owl sitting on the balcony smoking, fiddling with his phone, without looking up.
"If you try to take over the casino in the east of the city, you're not only ruining the livelihoods of the guys there, you're also trying to cut off my source of income!"
Lin Zheng looked coldly at Xu Nuo, his voice without much variation, yet it exuded a strong sense of pressure.
"Uncle Lin, there's no need to test me! If you're really afraid I'll cut off your source of income, why don't you just go find your nephew? Why did you have to come back with Night Owl!"
