Chapter 513
The room.
Only subtle sounds of breathing.
Very tense.
An Nuan kept her body taut, feeling the footsteps gradually approaching.
Her heartbeat was also racing, getting more and more frantic.
A pair of black leather boots stopped right beside An Nuan.
The footsteps only needed to move slightly to touch An Nuan.
An Nuan dared not move.
Yet she was so tense that her body was trembling.
If she were truly discovered, she would be shot in the head in the next second.
In her previous life, even when persecuted to the extreme, she had never encountered such a heart-pounding situation, at most she was stabbed to death by Gu Yansheng.
However, in this life.
She had been threatened with guns repeatedly.
If this continued, she could not guarantee that her sanity would not be driven to madness.
Time ticked by, second by second.
In the dark room, the four people seemed to have found nothing.
Yet they could not leave either.
An Nuan suddenly heard a man's muffled voice say into the transmitter, "Find the switch."
Once the lights were turned on.
An Nuan did not know where Qin Jiang and Hu Feng were hiding, but she would undoubtedly be killed.
She bit her lip, controlling her heart rate and trying to calmly think of how to escape.
At that moment.
A loud sound suddenly erupted in the room. Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
A vase was shattered on the floor not far away.
At the same time, the four scattered people instantly rushed towards the sound.
An Nuan saw a figure swiftly fleeing from the room.
The other four people were frantically giving chase.
Before An Nuan could catch her breath, she was abruptly grabbed by someone.
"It's me, Madam," Hu Feng's hurried and rapid voice.
An Nuan was nearly scared to death.
"Mr. Qin has gone to lure them away, I'll take you out first, and then they'll realize we're distracting them." Hu Feng pulled her by the arm, heading outside.
An Nuan didn't care that she wasn't wearing shoes or winter clothes, she just ran out with Hu Feng.
The two dared not take the elevator.
An Nuan just stood by, watching Qin Jiang.
Watching him in so much pain that his whole body was contorted, yet he kept his mouth shut, gritting his teeth without a word.
Hu Feng quickly found the first aid kit and began removing the bullet from Qin Jiang.
"Turn around," Qin Jiang said to An Nuan.
An Nuan was taken aback.
Was her fear so apparent?!
"I'm afraid Jinghuai will scold me later for scaring you," Qin Jiang joked through the pain.
An Nuan pursed her lips, then turned around.
It wasn't fear.
Or perhaps there was some fear.
But it definitely wasn't the main reason.
She was simply respecting their way of life.
Perhaps Qin Jiang didn't want anyone to see him in such a wretched state.
From behind, she only heard muffled groans.
An Nuan wondered.
Why, even though they were all scions of wealthy families, even though they were all privileged young masters, why had their lives been so different from others?
After about half an hour.
Qin Jiang's bullet was removed, and his wound was dressed.
He slumped on the sofa, in so much pain he seemed faint, eyes closed as if letting himself recover.
"There are rooms upstairs," Qin Jiang said with his eyes closed. "An Nuan, you go rest for a while."
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'll sit here for a bit first. Don't worry, since this is our hideout, there will definitely be enough room for us to rest."
Qin Jiang thought she was worried there wouldn't be a place for him to sleep if she took a room.
But she had already surveyed the place after arriving.
This so-called private room was actually a hidden house, with a living room and kitchen downstairs, and it appeared there were 3 or 4 bedrooms upstairs.
"If you're not going to sleep, I'd like to talk to you for a bit," An Nuan sat down beside Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang looked at An Nuan squarely and said bluntly, "I won't say anything, if you have something to ask, go ask Jinghuai."
"I won't make you say anything," An Nuan was a little exasperated - this guy was so guarded.
She had thought Qin Jiang seemed unreliable and flippant.
But in fact, he was far more rigorous than most people.
"I just want to talk to you about the case involving Ye Jinghuai."
"Hmm." Qin Jiang nodded in agreement.
"As soon as we arrived in Jiang City, we were ambushed and almost assassinated. This shows that Ye Jinghuai must have been framed, because they are afraid we'll find evidence, so they want to silence us and eliminate potential trouble," An Nuan returned to the main topic.
"What nonsense!" Qin Jiang said scornfully. "My brother has such upright character, he would never embezzle that little bit of money! The money he casually gives to women is way more than that!"
