"Where's that person?! Where did he go? He was clearly here just now."
"Keep looking! She can't have gotten so far!"
Jiang Nuan and Chen Yi were separated by the pursuers. She hid alone in the bushes, holding her breath and not daring to make the slightest sound.
"Bang, bang."
Two dull and short sounds were heard, which did not attract anyone's attention, but Jiang Nuan heard it.
She carefully pushed aside the leaves and looked down.
"Brother Qi'an?"
Cheng Qian'an also heard Jiang Nuan's voice and immediately looked up.
"Brother Qi'an! It's really you! Why are you here too?"
Jiang Nuan waved excitedly to Cheng Qian'an with a smile on her face, but her feet suddenly slipped and she lost her balance and fell down.
Cheng Qian was so frightened that he immediately threw the silenced gun in his hand to his subordinate beside him, and reached out to catch the falling Jiang Nuan steadily.
"Is your arm okay?"
Jiang Nuan hurriedly wanted Cheng Qi'an, who was holding her in a princess hug, to put her down, fearing that Cheng Qi'an's arm would be broken.
After all, her weight plus the force of falling from a tree of a certain height is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Cheng Qian'an was afraid that Jiang Nuan would fall again while struggling, so he quickly and carefully put her down.
"Are you okay?"
When Jiang Nuan heard Cheng Qian'an ask a question similar to the one she had just asked, she was stunned for a second, then she reacted and shook her head and asked.
"Why are you here?"
"I had a feeling that what my father asked you to do wouldn't be that simple, and I was worried you might be in danger, so I came. Now it seems my hunch was right, and I'm glad I came."
After Cheng Qian'an finished speaking, he paused, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a low and slightly hoarse voice.
"Last time you were in danger on a business trip to Country M, I failed to protect you and I blame myself. But I won't do that again in the future. I will protect you, please trust me."
Cheng Qi'an's expression was serious and pious, like a believer who was about to protect his lifelong faith. He walked up to Jiang Nuan with an unbreakable determination.
The wind blew through the leaves, and the rusty smell accompanied by blood penetrated into Jiang Nuan's nostrils without any explanation. Jiang Nuan couldn't help but sneeze.
"I believe Brother Qi'an will protect me! Just like a brother protects his sister!"
After saying this, Jiang Nuan smiled brightly, tilted her head to look at the people brought by Cheng Qian'an, and asked Cheng Qian'an curiously.
"Are they your people, Brother Qi'an? Or did you bring them from your godfather?"
Since Jiang Nuan started dating Fu Yanci, her understanding of love between men and women has made a qualitative leap. She clearly knows what Cheng Qi'an meant by these words.
But she already has Yan Ci, and her heart is very small, so small that it can only hold one person, so she can only apologize to Cheng Qian'an.
Cheng Qian'an naturally heard Jiang Nuan's tactful refusal. The light in his eyes dimmed a little, and he turned to Jiang Nuan to introduce the members of the organization he founded.
"Let's talk while we walk, so that those people won't catch up with us later."
"I don't know how Chen Yi and Feng Li are doing now."
"Don't worry about them, let's go."
Cheng Qian'an brought Jiang Nuan to an inconspicuous small house. Cheng Qian'an stood at the door and knocked on the door three times long and twice short.
The person inside came out quickly to open the door. She was a kind-looking and amiable old lady.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Where the flowers bloom on the road, I search for my destined partner."
"Come in, come in."
Jiang Nuan blinked her eyes as she listened to Cheng Qian'an and the old lady exchanging secret signals. When she walked into the house, she found that Chen Yi and Feng Li were already sitting on the sofa. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Jiang Nuan and Cheng Qian'an, they stood up and greeted them.
"Master Cheng, Miss, you are back."
"Chen Yi? Feng Li? So you guys had discussed this with Brother Cheng Qian'an. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been worried about you for a long time. No wonder Brother Qian'an just told me not to worry about you!"
Chen Yi and Feng Li smiled and said nothing. Instead, they looked at Cheng Qian'an quietly, silently asking them what they should do next.
But before Cheng Qian'an could say anything, the landline in the living room rang.
Cheng Qian'an walked over quickly and answered the phone. It must be his father calling.
"Pray for peace."
"It's me, father."
"Are you planning to take Xiao Nuan back home?"
Father?
Hearing Cheng Qian'an calling the person on the other end of the phone "father", Jiang Nuan had already come to a definite conclusion about the identity of the person on the other end of the phone, but she did not rashly snatch the phone from Cheng Qian'an. Instead, she quietly looked at Cheng Qian'an who was talking to Cheng Shuqiao.
I don’t know what Cheng Shuqiao said to Cheng Qian’an, but I saw that Cheng Qian’an suddenly became excited, but he was very restrained and patient in arguing with Cheng Shuqiao.
"Father, isn't it a bit too dangerous to let Nuannuan stay? I don't think even Uncle Lu and the others would want to see Nuannuan risk her life for them."
"...How about this, you give the phone to Xiao Nuan and let her decide for herself."
"Father, you know that Nuannuan will not refuse your request..."
Cheng Qian'an wanted to say something, but Jiang Nuan keenly noticed that Cheng Shuqiao wanted to talk to her, so she snatched the phone from Cheng Qian'an.
"Master! Xiao Nuan misses you so much~"
"Hehehe, Master misses you too."
Cheng Shuqiao's deep and joyful laughter came from the receiver. Before Jiang Nuan could say the next words to express her missing him, Cheng Shuqiao's voice sounded again.
"Xiao Nuan, don't come back so early, and don't hide. Go out more often, otherwise they won't be able to find you and will come to bother me again."
"Damn old man! Are you planning to open a dyeing shop just because I gave you some colors?"
It would have been fine if Cheng Shuqiao didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Nuan remembered the thrilling experience at the venue not long ago where she almost lost her life. Jiang Nuan was so angry that she threw away the deep relationship between master and disciple and called out the familiar name Cheng Shuqiao.
"Oh my, I'm old and useless. I don't even want my apprentice to do me a little favor!"
“…”
Facing the rogue Cheng Shuqiao, Jiang Nuan had no way to deal with it.
"Where are you now? Are you safe? When will you be home?"
"Don't worry! Your master is such a powerful person. Others may not know it, but how could you not know it?"
"That's why I'm worried about you! Whose master is as unreliable as you."
"Alright, alright, that's it! Give the phone back to your brother Qi'an. The master still has something to tell him."
"snort."
Jiang Nuan snorted and returned the phone to Cheng Qian'an.
"Father......"
I don’t know what Cheng Shuqiao and Cheng Qian’an said, but when Cheng Qian’an spoke again, he was no longer as sharp as before.
"I understand, father. I will protect Nuannuan. Okay."
