His hand missed its target. Zhan Nanting watched as Rong Shang's figure swept past him and headed straight for Zhan Minglei.
In an instant, his amber pupils contracted, and Zhan Nanting quickly reached out his hand, but his fingertips brushed against her sleeve.
"Su Yuanchu".
The deep, seductive voice had just called out her name when Zhan Minglei turned his head to look at her. As a result, Rong Shang grabbed his arm that was holding the wooden box.
Enraged, Zhan Minglei yelled, "Get out!"
As his furious shout subsided, a sharp "slap" resounded as Rong Shang delivered a powerful slap to his face.
This slap drew everyone's attention, including Zhan Minglei's men.
A mere woman slapped him in front of so many people, and Zhan Minglei's face instantly darkened. His men raised their guns, pointing them directly at Rong Shang's head.
Watching that scene from behind, Zhan Nanting's heart clenched.
But before he could make a move, Zhan Minglei suddenly let out a miserable scream.
No one saw how she made her move; they only saw Rong Shang grab the man's long arm and twist it forcefully. The speed was so fast that by the time they reacted, Zhan Minglei had already been grabbed by the neck by Rong Shang.
"Master Lei!"
This scene made the men in the reception room tremble.
Zhan Nanting frowned, thinking of the night she attacked him, and the scene the next day when she was in the car but suddenly appeared in front of him and saved him.
"You think you can fool us with an empty box?"
With a cold laugh, Rong Shang gave Zhan Minglei a sinister look before slowly uttering these words.
Zhan Minglei's flushed face changed, and a hint of panic and fear flashed in his dark, deep eyes.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
"Whether I'm lying or not, just look and you'll see."
With a swift movement, Rong Shang kicked the wooden box out of Zhan Minglei's hand with a "smack."
She tightened her grip on his neck, and Zhan Minglei felt suffocated. When he saw the eerie, dark smile on the woman's face, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This was the first time in Zhan Minglei's life that he had felt this way.
Of course, at this moment, she was carrying Zhan Nanting on her back, and the man didn't see this scene at all.
Just then, Cheng Qi, who had come from behind, picked up the wooden box on the ground. After opening it, he shouted to Zhan Nanting, "Second Master, there is indeed nothing inside."
Because Rong Shang discovered halfway through that he had already hidden the spirit pearl, Zhan Minglei's escape plan was immediately interrupted.
"You bastard Zhan Minglei, you dare to play me for a fool?"
He strode over and pressed the pistol against Zhan Minglei's temple.
"Where is the Spirit Pearl!?"
From his cold and sinister gaze, Rong Shang knew that his patience had reached its limit.
"Tch." It was the first time he had ever seen this man so angry. Zhan Minglei seemed to feel quite accomplished, and he chuckled as he smiled. "The Spirit Pearl isn't with me."
It seems unlikely that he will say anything.
"Heh." Zhan Nanting sneered. "Cheng Qi, give the orders."
"Search them all!"
"Even if we have to turn this place upside down, we will find the Spirit Pearl for me."
Zhan Nanting was truly enraged by the so-called spirit pearl.
This puzzled Rong Chang greatly; what exactly was that legendary spirit pearl?
Just as she frowned and inadvertently made eye contact with Zhan Minglei for a second or two, she raised her lips and let out another sinister laugh.
