However, after dialing the phone five or six times, it was not connected. Qi Nuan only heard a mechanical response: the call cannot be connected at the moment.
She was a little discouraged.
Didn't they say they'd assigned someone to her? If there was real danger, what good would such a quick reaction be?
She raised her wrist to check the time and saw the watch face she didn't like, and Qi Nuan immediately became angry again.
So what if the price is higher? If you don't like something, you don't like it.
The broken watch could have been repaired, but Gu Hui deliberately stepped on her Breguet until it was broken into pieces. Even the most skilled craftsman would not be able to restore it.
He thought it was just a second-hand watch that Lu Yin bought for her, but he didn't know that it was originally hers.
He destroyed the watch his mother gave him and threatened her with her reputation?
Qi Nuan's lowered eyes were filled with anger. She had originally been uninterested in the dispute over the Gu family's inheritance, but from this moment on, she was no longer prepared to just watch from the sidelines.
Although she had temporarily escaped the threat of Gu Hui, it was already late at night, so Qi Nuan cheered herself up and prepared to take a taxi home.
She just raised her phone and it vibrated with an incoming call whose phone number was also not displayed.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Nuan chose to answer the call and put the receiver to her ear.
"Hello, hello, I'm..."
"Isn't it because it's urgent that you keep calling? Why are you taking so long to answer?"
Before she could finish her greeting, the other party barged in with two questions.
This man really has the potential to make people angry.
Qi Nuan pursed her lips, trying to calm her anger.
"If you're calling as a husband worried about his wife, please show me your number first. Society is so dangerous, who knows if it's a prank call."
Knowing that the call was not made using the contact information that both of us have saved, you still have the nerve to blame her for being slow to answer?
“…”
Lu Yin on the other side was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again in a much calmer tone: "That phone is temporarily in Zhao Yu's care. He told me that you called him many times in a row."
You don’t even carry your smartphone with you. Are you trying to do something very secretive?
It was not easy to hear Mr. Lu's patient explanation, so Qi Nuan chose not to be aggressive anymore, and the question behind it disappeared into her heart.
"I just met Gu Hui." She paused and continued, "He said that the lawyer died of overwork."
"Okay, I see."
She wondered what information Lu Yin had that she didn't know, but his tone revealed a hint of relief that a mystery had been solved.
"Are you still in front of Xinyang Department Store?"
Qi Nuan had no reason to hide it: "I walked a distance, but not very far."
"Want to meet?"
The voice on the other end was a little deep and approachable, which was unusual.
"Yeah." Qi Nuan responded, "That's why I kept calling you."
The other side seemed to chuckle, but also seemed not to.
A car horn sounded, and Qi Nuan turned her head to look around, and saw an ordinary black car behind her flashing its lights at her.
She turned and walked over, and before her finger tapping could land on the driver's window, the back door opened for her with a click.
Qi Nuan leaned over to take a look first, and only sat down after confirming that it was Lu Yin's special assistant Zhao.
"Hello, I'll take you to the boss."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After the simple pleasantries, Qi Nuan looked down and found that the phone call had been hung up by the other party at some point.
The car did not leave immediately. Special Assistant Zhao turned around and handed over a blindfold.
"What?" Qi Nuan took a look and didn't answer. "I don't need this."
Special Assistant Zhao turned his upper body to the side, tilted his face, and extended his arm to push the blindfold forward.
"I don't care whether you insist on wearing it or not. But the boss said that if you saw the movement route and someone with ulterior motives found out, they could capture you and torture you, which would only put you in greater danger."
This person still had a blank expression on his face, and spoke in a way that was not at all like that of an "ordinary office worker."
It was the first time they spoke from this angle that Qi Nuan noticed the scar between his chin and neck.
“…”
She still had a lot of things to do, and she didn't want to joke with her own safety at all.
Qi Nuan took the blindfold and put it on his head. The thick black cloth completely blocked his vision.
She heard Special Assistant Zhao say, "We're leaving now. Please sit tight."
Then the car started to move forward with a slight shake.
Qi Nuan also thought about secretly pulling the edge to look out the window through the gap and note some route features.
But the threatening look in Zhao Yu's eyes when he spoke just now was so serious that she quickly gave up the idea.
There’s a different kind of dizziness that comes from sitting in a fast-moving car with your eyes blindfolded.
In addition, the slim-fitting cashmere coat was a bit uncomfortable, so Qi Nuan simply took it off, turned sideways, put his legs on the other side of the back seat, and lay down with the coat covering him.
It was swaying and vibrating slightly, and the seat under me was not very comfortable against my back. It felt like I was sleeping in a high-speed train berth.
Qi Nuan laughed at himself amid the rumbling sound of the car, thinking about all sorts of trivial things, and actually fell asleep in such an unstable environment.
Maybe it was because he didn’t have enough energy because he didn’t eat dinner, or maybe it was the sudden relaxation after the tension, but Qi Nuan slept very soundly.
When she opened her eyes again, she heard a voice calling her from the front.
"Madam! Miss Qi! Wake up, we're here!"
Qi Nuan woke up instantly, pulled down his eye mask, and was immediately stimulated by the bright lights on the roof of the car, closing his eyes and frowning.
"Are you awake?" Special Assistant Zhao turned around and pressed a button on the console.
