Ye Linyan rolled over to the other side of the bed, barely avoiding the figure that lunged at her.
The moon outside the window was currently obscured by a cloud, plunging the room into darkness.
The figure who had lunged forward had just stood up when Ye Linyan pressed down from behind and easily captured him.
Judging from that movement, his movements were extremely fast. How could he have been captured so easily? Ye Linyan was inwardly fretting, but he still dared not be careless with his hands!
He asked tentatively:
"who?"
"Brother, it's me! Keep your voice down!"
A familiar voice came from the person being pinned beneath him, and Ye Linyan lowered his body further.
Outside the window, the cloud that had been blocking the moonlight had just drifted away, and the moonlight shone into the room, allowing Ye Linyan to see the profile of the person beneath him.
"Let go, it hurts!"
Xu Nuo said in a low voice, moving his restrained hand.
"Arno?"
Ye Linyan let go of Xu Nuo's hand, turned Xu Nuo's head so that she could see him more clearly.
"Go easy, bro! You're going to snap my head off!"
Xu Nuo turned her body to the side as Ye Linyan moved.
"Where did you run off to! Do you know how worried I was about you?!"
After confirming that it was Xu Nuo, Ye Linyan lowered his voice considerably, but the anger that had been building up for several days made him unable to help but question him.
Xu Nuo didn't answer him. She sat up and shook her hands, which were a little numb from being pressed down.
Ye Linyan had just smelled the blood on Xu Nuo!
Remembering Lin Zheng's words about having Night Cat kill Xu Nuo, he carefully examined Xu Nuo from head to toe, making sure he wasn't injured, before asking:
"Speak! Didn't I tell you to wait for me at my uncle's? Why are you running away?"
"Then what are you doing here? What the hell are you doing here?!"
Xu Nuo stared at Ye Linyan, speaking in a tone Ye Linyan had never heard before, leaving him momentarily stunned...
"Do you even know where you are? Why did you leave Yuncheng and come here?!"
Xu Nuo's face also showed an unprecedented coldness, and he almost roared out his last sentence.
Ye Linyan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Xu Nuo in front of him, then glanced at the half-open window, before uttering a few words:
"I've come to find you."
Hearing Ye Linyan's name warmed Xu Nuo's heart, but he knew it wasn't the right time, so he maintained his somber expression.
"What do you want with me? Are you afraid I won't die?"
Xu Nuo turned his head away, not wanting to look at Ye Linyan. He had to think of a way to get Ye Linyan away from here and make him return to Yuncheng immediately.
What are you saying?
Ye Linyan didn't know what was wrong with Xu Nuo. She had come all this way because she was worried about his safety.
"Lin Zheng wants to kill me, so you're sending me there so I can die..."
Although Xu Nuo said this, his longing for Ye Linyan made him want to kiss her the moment he saw her face.
God knows how difficult it was for him to suppress this impulse in his heart!
"I don't!"
Ye Linyan immediately rejected the idea.
"Never mind, it's not important anymore... You come with me right now!"
Xu Nuo helped Ye Linyan up, and just as they stood up, the sound of the door being kicked open came from the doorway.
Clang!
Ye Linyan looked towards the entrance, and the first to enter were the same people who had been guarding the entrance!
Before Ye Linyan could react, Xu Nuo pulled out a gun from his pocket!
Bang bang!!!
Two shots in quick succession pierced the heads of the two men who were leading the attack.
The people who followed immediately drew their guns. Seeing this, Xu Nuo turned around and tackled Ye Linyan to the ground, hiding behind the bed.
"Lie down! Don't move!"
Bullets flew overhead, shattering the glass window, and shards of glass splashed onto Xu Nuo, who was pinning Ye Linyan down.
"stop!"
A low shout came from the doorway, and Ye Linyan recognized it as Old Ghost's voice.
The lights inside the room were turned on by the person at the door, and the instant brightness made both of them involuntarily close their eyes.
Isn't he supposed to arrive tomorrow morning? Didn't he go back with Lin Zheng?
Ye Linyan calculated the time in his mind. No, Old Ghost didn't even leave the country!
"You've hurt the young master, how many lives do you have to die!"
Old Ghost walked in through the door, glanced behind the bed, and chuckled softly:
"Come out."
Xu Nuo let out a long breath, stood up, still holding the gun in his hand.
"Looks like I won't be able to leave tonight?"
After glancing at the person standing at the door, Xu Nuo finally fixed her gaze on Old Ghost's face, having already determined his identity in her mind.
"Of course! You've been waiting for so long, you're too slow!"
Old Gui glanced at the gun in his hand and laughed, "Even if you leave this hotel, you won't be able to leave this town. What are you still carrying it for?"
Xu Nuo smiled, glanced at the gun in his hand, and her small canine tooth became visible:
"Of course it works!"
Ye Linyan had just straightened up when Xu Nuo pulled him in front of her, his neck gripped by Xu Nuo's arm, and the cold muzzle of a gun pressed against his head.
"Can I leave now?"
Ye Linyan froze, somewhat incredulous, and turned to look at Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo realized his intention, pressed the gun to his head, and forced him to turn back.
"What are you looking at! You and your uncle conspired to trap me!"
Ye Linyan had just heard what Lao Gui said and realized that Lao Gui, or rather Lin Zheng, had put him here to lure Xu Nuo over!
But he still couldn't quite believe that Xu Nuo would point a gun at his head.
"Don't move! The gun might go off accidentally!"
With Xu Nuo's words still ringing in his ears, Ye Linyan looked up at the old ghost opposite him and the people blocking the doorway.
"Let him go."
Ye Linyan looked at the old ghost and said.
Heh~~
Old Ghost chuckled.
“Young Master, I also advise you not to make any rash moves. That weapon in his hand is real. If it goes off accidentally, Uncle Lin and I will be in a difficult position to explain.”
Ye Linyan was somewhat surprised by Lao Gui's words. He couldn't quite understand the current situation!
Old Ghost looked past Ye Linyan and at Xu Nuo:
Where is the night owl?
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "He's dead."
"Where did you die?"
Old Ghost took a step forward, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he stared at Xu Nuo.
"He wanted to kill me, so naturally I had to strike first! I dumped the body in the mountains! Why don't you send someone to look for it?"
Old Ghost pondered for a moment, then continued to ask:
"How about we make a deal?"
As he spoke, Old Ghost waved to the people behind him, signaling them to go out first.
After everyone had left and the door was closed, Xu Nuo finally spoke:
"How do you want to trade?"
Old Ghost took a few more steps forward, and Xu Nuo led Ye Linyan back until Xu Nuo's back hit the wall.
"You hand over Night Owl to me, and I'll let you take him away! How about it?"
