Chapter 412 He actually conspired with Lei Bao to deceive her.
Back at the hotel, Tang Xiaoya sat absentmindedly on the windowsill, lost in thought. For the first time ever, she made a phone call to Yan Jin.
She never called him first, partly because she was afraid of bothering him, and partly because he would always come to her on his own.
The phone rang a few times before being disconnected.
It was as if Tang Xiaoya's heart had been forcibly broken.
She didn't dare to hit again.
If Yan Jin marries someone else, their relationship can be dissolved, right?
He never acknowledged her as his girlfriend in front of outsiders.
Perhaps, I am just a plaything to him.
She never interfered in his affairs because she knew her own limitations.
But at this moment, her heart seemed to be out of control.
Yan Jin didn't reply all night.
She suddenly wanted to laugh. If she asked him for help, he would surely be there to collect her corpse when he arrived.
In the morning, she calmly packed her luggage for the new project, putting the untouched bank card, along with the dazzling jewelry, back into the velvet jewelry box and sealing it in a suitcase.
She felt it was time.
Their relationship, which she started with wishful thinking, may be coming to an end soon.
She only hoped that the filming of this drama would be completed smoothly, that Yan Jin would not replace her halfway through, and that she would not become the next Qiao Xin.
She sent a message to Nan Wan, and then went to the airport with her assistant.
At this moment, Nan Wan had just woken up. Morning sickness was tormenting her, and she was vomiting until her throat was dry and sore, and her stomach felt empty.
Tang Ling came in carrying her nutritious breakfast, patted her back gently, and handed her a glass of warm water.
"Here, take a sip."
A short while later, Nan Wan came out, her face deathly pale.
"Come on, eat something quickly. If you vomit all this, your stomach will feel terrible. Have some porridge first."
Tang Ling took meticulous care of her.
"I want to drink lemonade," Nan Wan said.
Tang Ling was overjoyed. "Want something sour? Wanwan, you might be carrying a son."
Nanwan was speechless for a moment. "I want to eat spicy food and sweet food, but I don't want to eat salty food."
Tang Ling paused for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll prepare all the flavors for you at noon."
Nan Wan laughed, picked up a spoon, took a sip of porridge, and then rushed to the toilet to vomit.
Tang Ling was extremely anxious. "This won't do. If you can't eat, the baby won't get any nutrition. I'll go to the hospital later to get you some anti-nausea candy."
When Nan Wan came out again, her eyes were very red.
At that moment, she really wanted to eat chestnut cake, from the one in the south of the city.
She rested for a while, then picked up a glass of milk and went outside, trying to distract herself.
When we arrived at the backyard, we saw Grandpa Chen carrying a large basket and a small bamboo pole, standing around an orange tree.
Seeing the bright yellow oranges on the tree, Nan Wan swallowed hard.
"Miss, you're up. Let me pick a few oranges for you to try."
"Grandpa Chen, don't move." Nan Wan walked over and suddenly called out, "Yang Yi."
Yang Yi appeared out of nowhere, like an elf.
"Miss Nan."
"Go up the tree and pick some oranges, pick a lot, so the brothers can have some too."
"Okay, Miss Nan."
Yang Yi leaped up the tree in a few quick movements, and soon, oranges were thrown down one by one, each landing precisely in the basket...
At noon, it was practically an orange feast, with four dishes made with oranges. It was the first time Nanwan had ever enjoyed such a delicious meal.
They even specially arranged two seats for the brothers, and everyone was very happy.
They had only eaten half of the meal when Yang Yi came over and whispered something in Nan Wan's ear.
Nan Wan's face suddenly darkened, and she put down her chopsticks.
He told Tang Ling, "Auntie, an important client has come to Rongcheng. I'll go and entertain him."
"Okay, then take it easy and absolutely do not make a move," Tang Ling instructed.
"Don't worry, I'll come back for your sour fish soup tonight." Nan Wan smiled and turned to leave the restaurant.
Yang Yi quickly followed, and Nan Wan lowered her voice and said, "Leave a few people to guard this place."
"Yes." Yang Yi went to the door, assigned the men, and left six people to guard the Tang residence.
The rest of the people got into four luxury cars and drove towards a port.
The sea breeze, carrying the salty, rusty smell, rushed towards me.
Four black luxury cars stopped in front of an abandoned dock at the old port of Rongcheng, and the doors opened simultaneously.
Nan Wan, dressed in a fitted black outfit that accentuated her slender figure, stepped out of the car. The cold wind ruffled her long hair, and her sharp eyes seemed to pierce through everything.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was almost no extra conversation.
Gunfire shattered the tranquility of the harbor.
Yang Yi led his men down the mountain like tigers, their movements swift and decisive. In just a few minutes, all the scattered guards outside had fallen to the ground, silent and still.
With a loud "boom".
The iron gate of a huge warehouse was violently pushed open, and Nan Wan walked in expressionlessly, stepping over the mess on the ground.
The warehouse was brightly lit, and in the center stood a fierce-looking man, Lei Bao.
When he saw Nan Wan, he even smiled and adopted a very humble attitude.
"Sister Nan, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Nan Wan looked around, her gaze finally settling on his face, a cold smile curving her lips.
“Lei Bao, it’s been five years. I spared your life back then, but I never expected you to come here to die.”
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of pressure.
"Are you tired of living?"
Lei Bao's facial muscles twitched slightly, but his smile remained unchanged.
"Sister Nan, you're too kind. I just missed you. Now that I'm in Rongcheng, I should at least say hello to you, my host."
"Enough with the nonsense." Nan Wan was impatient. "I won't let you leave this warehouse alive today."
Lei Bao clapped his hands.
"Sister Nan is still so impatient. I've prepared a big gift for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, several henchmen pushed out a bound man from the shadows.
The man's hair was somewhat disheveled, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, but even so, it could not hide his tall figure and handsome face.
He raised his head, his deep eyes looking directly at Nan Wan.
It is Lu Qinglin.
Lei Bao walked triumphantly to Lu Qinglin's side and patted his face.
"Nan Wan, do you still want your man?"
Nan Wan was completely stunned.
Then, as if she had heard the funniest joke, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"Lei Bao, have you lost your mind?"
Her laughter was full of sarcasm.
"You're using my enemy to threaten me? Fine, then you're truly a great hero to me."
Nan Wan took two steps forward, her chin slightly raised, her eyes full of contempt.
"Please, take care of him for me now, immediately."
Lei Bao's smile froze on his face.
He clearly hadn't expected this reaction.
"Sister Nan, don't you care? This is your former fiancé, now the head of Tiannan Group. Countless women want to get into his bed. Don't you feel any pity?"
"Feel sorry for him?" Nan Wan scoffed. "I wish he were dead. He was the one who ruined my Tang family, causing our destruction. You're so righteous, I should thank you."
Lei Bao's face darkened completely, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
He suddenly pulled out a gun.
Nan Wan's face remained expressionless, even showing a hint of impatience.
"Whatever. Let's deal with this nuisance first, and then we can settle our accounts later."
"Bang!"
Gunshots echoed through the empty warehouse, sending chills down people's spines.
The bullet struck Lu Qinglin's right arm with pinpoint accuracy.
A bloody hole appeared instantly, and blood gushed out, staining his white shirt red.
Nan Wan's heart skipped a beat.
The blinding red made her pupils constrict.
Lu Qinglin groaned, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but he didn't utter a sound. He just stared intently at Nan Wan with his sharp eyes, his gaze filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Lei Bao stared intently at Nan Wan's expression, but she remained unfazed.
He turned to look at Lu Qinglin and spat.
"Damn it, I really overestimated you! It seems you're nothing but a fart in Miss Nan's eyes!"
"Bang!"
Another shot.
This time, the blow landed on Lu Qinglin's left leg.
He could no longer hold on, his body swayed, and he knelt heavily on one knee.
Blood flowed down his trouser leg and pooled on the ground.
He never begged for mercy, nor did he utter a single cry of pain. He simply knelt there, his back still straight, his gaze fixed intently on Nan Wan.
As Nan Wan watched the ever-expanding crimson, her fists, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, causing a sharp pain, which allowed her to maintain a calm expression.
"Lei Bao, I told you, today is my day to settle the score with you."
Her voice was chillingly cold.
“Bringing these irrelevant people here is a complete waste of my time.”
"Wasting your time?" Lei Bao grinned maliciously. "Fine! Let's finish this quickly!"
He stepped forward, the dark muzzle of the gun pressed directly against Lu Qinglin's heart.
"Use the last bullet to finish him off!"
Nan Wan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Seeing her reaction, Lei Bao laughed even more wildly.
I'll count to three.
"If you don't speak up, I'll send him to his death! Sister Nan, don't regret it, there's no going back."
"one."
Nanwan's breathing stopped.
"two."
Her fingernails had already dug into her palm, and the smell of blood spread from there.
"three!"
Lei Bao pulled the safety latch, producing a crisp "click" sound.
"etc!"
Nanwan finally spoke up.
Those two words seemed to have taken all her strength.
Time stood still at this moment.
As Lu Qinglin knelt on the ground, a fleeting, almost imperceptible smugness flashed in his eyes.
This woman, in the end, still couldn't bear to see him die.
"Hahahaha!" Lei Bao burst into ear-piercing laughter. "I knew it! How could our Miss Nan possibly resist a handsome man!"
He put away his gun, a mocking look on his face.
"Give me the ring, and I'll return this man to you. I'll leave immediately with my men and won't disturb your lovey-dovey time."
Nan Wan took a deep breath and took out a ring from her pocket.
The ring is entirely black, with a deep black gemstone set in it.
This ring represents the highest authority of the Southern Gang.
"Lei Bao, you can't wear this ring securely."
"Then you don't need to worry, Miss Nan!" Lei Bao's eyes gleamed greedily. "Throw it over here! My patience is running out!"
Nan Wan flicked her wrist, and the ring drew a black arc in the air.
Lei Bao caught it precisely, and all his men behind him had a fanatical gleam in their eyes.
He couldn't wait to put the ring on his finger, held it up to show off, and his smugness was almost overflowing.
Suddenly, he swung his hand sharply!
More people suddenly emerged from every hidden corner of the warehouse, and the muzzles of more than a dozen guns were pointed at Nan Wan and the people she brought.
Lei Bao's smile turned ferocious, filled with a sense of vengeful pleasure.
"Nanwan! When I left the Nan Gang, you forced me to kowtow to you eighteen times in front of everyone!"
He spoke each word with gritted teeth.
"Today, you have to return these eighteen heads to me intact!"
"Otherwise, I'll riddle you and your men with bullets!"
Nan Wan looked at him coldly, without the slightest fear in her eyes, and uttered only three words.
"You're delusional."
Just then, Lu Qinglin, who had been kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up.
He brushed the dust off his knees, frowned, and looked at Lei Bao with displeasure in his voice.
"Why did you add this scene again? This wasn't in the script we agreed on."
Lei Bao immediately put on a fawning smile.
"Young Master Lu, you're truly brilliant! If it weren't for your self-inflicted injury, how could this woman have obediently handed over the power ring?"
"Don't worry, you can take her away after she finishes kowtowing."
Nan Wan's head buzzed.
She turned her head sharply and stared intently at the man who stood ramrod straight, still bleeding, but with no sign of pain on his face.
That damn man...
He actually conspired with Lei Bao to deceive her?
Just now, she was genuinely afraid he would be beaten to death; now, she was filled with unbearable regret…
