At noon, the sun was shining brightly outside.
Ever since she saw the Blood Spirit Pearl from the Minghua Cave appear here, Rong Chang frowned and became somewhat absent-minded.
Beside him, the man placed the spirit pearl back into the wooden box.
A moment after the car started, he turned his head slightly to look over.
The woman in sight looked somewhat lost and disoriented.
Surprised, Zhan Nanting raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"fine."
Shaking her head, Rong Shang slowly closed her eyes, only to have her jaw tighten as the man raised his hand and pinched her.
"Is something on your mind?"
Zhan Nanting originally had a lot of questions to ask her, but seeing that her expression was a bit unusual, he temporarily put aside his doubts.
"Zhan Nanting." She could feel the man's intense gaze fixed on her face. Rong Shang slowly raised her eyes, her rosy lips moving as if she was about to say something—
In the moving line of sight, a figure staggered out of a passageway, leaning on a cane.
With sharp eyes, Rong Shang noticed a pistol in Zhan Minglei's uninjured hand as he appeared in the bright sunlight.
In that instant, Rong Shang's bright eyes turned cold.
"Zhan Minglei has caught up! Get down quickly!"
Inside the car, her cold and domineering voice suddenly rang out. Zhan Nanting frowned, and then without a trace of doubt, he followed the woman beside him and lowered his head.
A few seconds later, with a "thud," the bullet hit the glass car window.
Zhan Minglei's shot missed its target, and he was so angry that his face turned black. He staggered out and chased after him.
But by then, the black Rolls-Royce had already sped away from them.
"Damn it!"
Unable to contain his anger, Zhan Minglei grabbed his cane and threw it forcefully.
With a few thuds, the cane rolled away, but unfortunately, it could no longer catch up with the several cars that drove off in succession.

"Besides being the eldest daughter of the Su family, what other identity have you been hiding from me?"
As the car slowly drove onto the main road in the south of the city, Zhan Nanting pinched the bridge of his nose and finally couldn't help but ask this question.
He held the high-end, exquisite wooden box tightly in his long, slender, and fair hands.
With a flicker in her eyes, Rong Shang turned her gaze away from the window, but did not look at Zhan Nanting. She simply smiled casually, "Didn't you already investigate me?"
I want you to tell me yourself.
Turning his head, Zhan Nanting moved closer, inhaling the woman's fragrance, his unfathomable gaze fixed on her exquisite profile.
"Or tell me, what could make you be in the car one second and then appear in front of me the next, push me away, and take that bullet for me?"
Rong Shang frowned, "..."
"What?" Zhan Nanting stared at her intently, recalling the events that had occurred in the days since he had known her.
Some strange things.
He listed them one by one, including the things that happened today.
Why was she able to find his location so quickly and know that he was in Zhan Minglei's reception room?
Why could she tell at a glance that there was nothing in the wooden box in Zhan Minglei's hand?
Why was she able to determine so quickly that the Spirit Pearl was on Zhan Minglei?
...
He asked all his questions, and Rong Shang didn't say a word during this time.
But soon, they arrived at the manor.
At this moment, Rong Shang finally turned her head to look at Zhan Nanting, but the next second, she reached out to open the car door.
When Zhan Nanting saw her actions, his face finally darkened.
