The old man’s gloved hand moved.

  It was the gesture Ning Yuan had made with the police.

  Ning Yuan had already tampered with the real-time surveillance cameras in the car. There was a five-minute delay, which meant that she now had five minutes to communicate with that ‘old man’.

  Ning Yuan pushed open the door and got out of the car quickly.

  “Hello, this is the topographic map of their territory that I hacked into the other party’s computer system!” Ning Yuan handed a thumb drive to the old man.

  The old man looked up at Ning Yuan.

  Meeting his deep dark eyes, Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment.

  “T-Second Prince?” Ning Yuan widened her eyes slightly in disbelief.

  Was she seeing things? If not, why would she meet Ye Yu here?

  Although he had disguised himself very well, she would not mistake that pair of dark eyes!

  Ye Yu took the thumb drive from Ning Yuan and looked at her with a complicated gaze.

  He did not expect that she would hack into the other party’s system and get advantageous information.

  He did not talk nonsense with her and said in a deep and cold voice, “Be careful.”


  Ning Yuan saw the complicated look in his eyes and her heart skipped a beat.

  Was he concerned about her?

  But she did not have time to think about it and nodded at him. “I will.”


  She did not know why, but his sudden appearance here made her feel a sense of security.

  He was the Second Prince of their country and regarded the people very important. This was his usual view.

  Support our newn0vel(0rg)

  Like the other people, she trusted him!

  “I’ll bring you and Zuo Xin back safely.”


  Ning Yuan’s eyes turned slightly red and she nodded at him. “I believe you.”


  Five minutes was almost up. Ning Yuan turned around and returned to the car.

  Ye Yu drove the car to an inconspicuous place. Not long after, a car came to pick Ning Yuan up.

  She was escorted into the car by two men.

  Her eyes were covered by a black cloth and Ning Yuan could not see the road outside, but she was not panicked.

  The car drove for nearly an hour before stopping in front of an old building.

  Ning Yuan was pushed into the house.

  The black cloth was pulled away and Ning Yuan saw a fierce-looking bald man sitting on a leather chair, looking at her with narrowed eyes.

  “Not bad.” The man waved his hand. “Take her to wash up.”


  Ning Yuan looked at the bald man and met his murderous eyes. “Where’s my colleague?”


  “As long as I’m satisfied with your performance, I will let her go!”


  Ning Yuan was forced into a bathroom.

  A fat middle-aged woman walked in and pointed at the shower head. “Go and take a bath.”


  After showering, the middle-aged woman gave Ning Yuan a dress that local women wore.

  After Ning Yuan wore it, she looked different.

  The woman brought another bowl over. “Drink this.”


  Ning Yuan shook her head.

  “It’s not poison. It’s something to liven things up. Our boss will only be satisfied if you drink it.” The woman looked at Ning Yuan fiercely. “If you don’t drink it, your colleague will…”


  The woman showed Ning Yuan a video of a sharp dagger appearing on Zuo Xin’s neck.

  It seemed like if she shook her head again, the sharp blade would cut through!

  Ning Yuan took the bowl from the woman, looked up slightly and downed it.

  The woman pulled Ning Yuan to a bedroom.

  As if not worried that she would run away, the woman left after pushing her onto the bed.

  Ning Yuan leaned against the head of the bed, her legs starting to turn weak.

  Before long, the door was pushed open.

  That tall bald man strode into the room.

  Looking at Ning Yuan, who was leaning against the head of the bed, her face red and wearing their unique dress, his throat moved.

  This woman was really a stunner!

  He walked towards Ning Yuan impatiently. Ning Yuan’s consciousness was a little blurry and she could feel the man approaching. She started to panic and be nervous.

  If Ye Yu did not arrive in time, wouldn’t she…


  Ning Yuan’s fingers dug into her palms, wanting to keep herself awake, but she was weak and could not pinch herself at all.

  The bald man’s gaze became more heated and obscene, and Ning Yuan’s heart clenched tightly.

  “Little beauty, don’t be afraid. Relax…”


  Two rough fingers pinched Ning Yuan’s chin and Ning Yuan’s long eyelashes fluttered.

  The disgusting breath of the bald man was getting closer and closer to her. Just as he was about to kiss her, his eyes suddenly widened and he froze.

  A few seconds later, she fell onto the bed.

  Ning Yuan noticed that his neck had been hit by a tranquilizer gun.

  Ning Yuan closed her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

  A tall black figure jumped in from the window.

  Ning Yuan’s suspended heart relaxed when she saw the man’s handsome face.

  “How’s the situation outside?”


  “The topographic map you gave me was very useful. We found Zuo Xin and the others were subdued.”


  Ning Yuan nodded with red eyes.

  Ye Yu stared at Ning Yuan for a few seconds. “Are you injured anywhere?”


  Ning Yuan tried to ignore the strange feeling in her body and shook her head. “I’m fine.”


  “Alright.” Ye Yu straightened up and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”


  Ning Yuan forced herself to stand up from the bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she fell to the ground weakly!

  A long and strong arm reached over and wrapped around her slender waist.

  “I don’t think I have the strength to walk out…” Ning Yuan’s voice was uncontrollably hoarse.

  Ye Yu soon noticed that something was wrong with Ning Yuan. Her eyes were dazed, her cheeks red and her skin hot.

  He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Reaching out his long arms, he picked her up.

  Ning Yuan leaned against his firm and broad shoulders, smelling the fresh and pleasant masculine scent on him and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat…


  She longed for something, but her remaining rationality was warning her.

  No!

  Ning Yuan bit her lip hard to keep herself awake.

  Back in the Capital, she had rejected his request. If she went up to him now, her dignity would really be worthless!

  Ye Yu strode out.

  He could feel the heat of the woman in his arms. She must be feeling terrible.

  But she did not show any discomfort, gritting her teeth and not saying a word.

  He said in a deep voice, “I’ll take you to the hospital…”


  Ning Yuan nodded.

  Ye Yu carried Ning Yuan into the car and called Assistant Su.

  Knowing that it would take an hour to drive to the nearest hospital, Ye Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, “Bear with it.”


  Ning Yuan sat at the back, curling up and trying not to look at Ye Yu. She hummed with trembling lips.

  To a girl, enduring such pain and abnormality was undoubtedly torture.

  Ning Yuan’s lips were bitten by herself and the hands holding her shoulders scratched her skin, her breathing getting heavier.
