One minute…
Two minutes…
The once fair complexions of the two men now displayed a faint flush.
Sweat beads had formed on their foreheads.
Looking at their hands clasped together, the paleness had given way to a bluish tinge due to the excessive force, with blood circulation disrupted.
Nan Yan calmly sipped half of her milk tea and, seeing the two still locked in a contest of strength, spoke up:
“Enough already. You’re both grown-ups, don’t act so childish.”
The two men, unable to outdo each other, exchanged a resentful glance, and finally, under Nan Yan’s gaze, released their grip simultaneously.
Once they retrieved their hands, they discreetly rubbed them under the table, trying to alleviate the numbing pain in their palms.
After a couple of minutes, Shen Junqing’s complexion returned to normal. His mesmerizing peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled as he asked, “Nan Yan, how’s the taste?” “It’s quite good.”
Nan Yan had a liking for sweet treats.
Eating something sweet could elevate one’s mood and add a sense of happiness to life.
“If you like it, I’ll bring you here again in the future,” Shen Junqing said.
Bai Chen scoffed, “Nan Yan isn’t incapable of coming here on her own. Why wait for you to bring her?”
This low-level way of impressing a girl was laughable. Only Nan Yan could be swayed by it!
Nan Yan cast a disdainful glance at him and said to Shen Junqing, “Alright, if I want to drink it, I’ll look for you, Third Brother.”
Bai Chen looked at Nan Yan with a sense of grievance and complained, “Nan
Yan, you weren’t like this before!”
Nan Yan softly replied, “Then don’t be unreasonable.”
Bai Chen: ‘
Shen Junqing smirked on the side, his eyes holding a hint of provocation.
Who was really being unreasonable here?
Bai Chen turned his head away in anger, not wanting to pay any more attention to Nan Yan.
He had traveled all the way to Jin City to find her, and she was leaning toward an outsider!
How exasperating…
Seeing his sulky expression, Nan Yan thoughtfully asked, “Bai Chen, are you angry?”
Bai Chen took a deep breath and replied with two words, “Not really.”
He wasn’t that childish.
“Alright, tonight, Third Brother and I are going to the casino. Do you want to join us?”
“The casino?” Bai Chen was shocked. “You’re going to that kind of place again?”
Back then, she had been relentlessly pursued by all the underground casinos in M Country, determined to eliminate her. She appeared to have plenty of money now, so why was she returning to her old ways?
Nan Yan guessed what he was thinking and explained, “Just for fun, to pass time.”
Bai Chen stared at her for a while before sighing softly. “I thought you would never set foot in a casino again.”
“When did I ever say such a thing?”
“Well, you didn’t say it, but back in the day…”
Bai Chen stopped his sentence halfway, realizing that there were others present and didn’t continue. However, the meaning behind his words had already been understood by Nan Yan.
She smiled but remained silent.
Back then, the Dark Realm was not yet profitable and was in the stage of expansion and user acquisition.
She had only been involved in building the website and not its operation. The other aspects were managed by the three of them.
Without any profits, she couldn’t extract funds from it. To ensure that Xi Shijin’s laboratory could operate normally, she had to find ways to make money.
During that time, she had virtually raked in over a hundred billion from various major casinos. This amount had already alarmed the top executives of the casinos. Casinos couldn’t let someone walk away with so much money for free, so they sent skilled gamblers to confront her, hoping to win back the money she had taken.
However, they ended up losing even more. Of course, some casinos extended an olive branch to her, hoping she would work for them, but she flatly refused them all. This also made her enemies out of those casino owners, becoming a target they all wanted to blacklist.
Shen Junqing listened to their conversation on the side, unable to interject.
The relationship between Nan Yan and Bai Chen was even closer than he had thought.
This discovery left him feeling quite frustrated.
Bai Chen took a sip of his milk tea, placed it on the table with some disdain, and then said to Nan Yan, “I’ll go too.”
“Sure.”
Nan Yan called Old Master An and told him that she wouldn’t be coming home for dinner today. Instead, the three of them found a restaurant to have dinner.
After finishing their meal, they went to the casino…
In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.
Nan Yan messaged and called Qin Lu every day, but she couldn’t reach him a single time.
She didn’t mind for a day or two, but with so much time passing and no clue about his whereabouts, Nan Yan grew worried.
Seeing her glance at her phone from time to time, Shen Junqing raised an eyebrow and asked, “Yanyan, are you worried about Qin Lu?”
Nan Yan suddenly looked up. “Third Brother, do you know where he went?” “Yep,” Shen Junqing didn’t hide it. “I have some leads.”
His identity was not ordinary, and he had his own network of information. Due to their cooperation and Nan Yan’s relationship, he naturally paid more attention to Qin Lu.
Nan Yan asked directly, “Where did he go?”
“The latest lead places him in Eireng.”
Shen Junqing reassured her, “Eireng is currently experiencing an internal conflict, and the signal tower has been blown up. It’s impossible to receive calls and messages. It’s normal.”
He reached out to ruffle Nan Yan’s hair. “He’s Young Master Qin, who can harm him? Don’t overthink it.
Nan Yan didn’t reduce her worries despite his reassurance. If he was okay, why would he stay there and not come back? Why did he go there in the first place? Was there something he had to handle?
“I’m going to Eireng,” she declared.
Shen Junqing suddenly sat up straight. “Little missy, they’re currently at war over there. Why are you going there for fun?”
He regretted telling Nan Yan about this.
“He might be stuck there and unable to return, but he definitely knows how to ensure his own safety. Can’t you wait for him to come back in Jin city?”
“That’s true.” Nan Yan nodded. “Third Brother, I suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to. I’ll leave first.”
Bai Chen, who had been observing as a bystander, saw Nan Yan getting up, so he also stood up gracefully. “Mr. Shen, goodbye.”
Shen Junqing:
Why did he have a bad feeling about this?
As expected, in less than two hours, he received a message from Tang Cheng. Nan Yan had booked a ticket to Eireng.
He pinched his brow in frustration and instructed Tang Cheng, “Find a way to halt the flight to Eireng.”
Tang Cheng replied, “Third Young Master, are you kidding?”
While it was true that there was only one flight from Jin city to Eireng, and it was a small flight with not many passengers, it didn’t mean that they could simply stop it!
“What do you think?” Shen Junqing’s tone was subtle, carrying a sly undertone.
Tang Cheng hurriedly said, “I’ll get right on it! ”
Nan Yan had already packed her bags and was planning to have Bai Chen drive her to the airport. Her phone chimed with a message notification from the airline:
[Due to the unstable situation in Eireng, which may pose risks to passengers, our airline has decided to temporarily suspend flights to Eireng. The resumption of flights is pending. Please apply for ticket refunds. Thank you for your cooperation..]
