Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 230: Don’t Waste Time

Chen Zilong was so scared by her that he almost dropped the salted duck egg in his hand.

"Sis, do you want some? I’ll give you half."

Qian watched as her brother turned sideways. At the same split second, Yu Minglang also turned sideways, instantly positioning himself in Chen Zilong’s visual blind spot behind him.

The situation now was this, Yu Minglang’s back was against the hallway wall, Qian was leaning against the opposite wall, and Chen Zilong stood in the middle of them on a staircase barely a meter wide, the three of them forming a horizontal line.

Qian could see both of them, but Chen Zilong could only see Qian. The distance between Yu Minglang and Chen Zilong was less than 20 centimeters.

"Sis?" Chen Zilong felt something was off about his sister today.

"It’s nothing... you go back to your room quick!" Qian was about to be scared to death by Yu Minglang.

"Oh." Chen Zilong turned again, and Yu Minglang smoothly followed suit, with Chen Zilong completely unaware.

Chen Zilong walked in front, Qian walked in the middle, and Yu Minglang, like a ghost, walked at the back.

Qian couldn’t help but admire his ability to hide his presence. If she hadn’t known beforehand that Yu Minglang was right behind her, she really wouldn’t have sensed anyone there.

Chen Zilong had already reached his room’s door, Qian had also reached her door, and it looked like they were about to successfully sneak past.

Suddenly, Jia Xiufang’s door opened, and rubbing her eyes, Jia Xiufang came out of her room, yawning.

"What are you two siblings up to? It’s so late, and you’re still making noise..."

Qian felt her blood run cold, she was doomed now. Her mother had no blind spots from that angle, the presence behind Qian was about to be exposed!

As Jia Xiufang opened the door, Qian thought it was over, and simultaneously, Chen Zilong turned around.

Qian closed her eyes. How was she going to explain the man behind her?

Should she say there’s a ghost at home? Wonder if anyone would believe her...

"Qian’er, why are you closing your eyes? Sleepwalking?" Jia Xiufang walked over and waved her hand in front of Qian’s eyes.

Qian opened her eyes, determined to face the situation, and looked behind her. Eh, there was no one?

Where did Yu Minglang go?

"I’m fine, I just came out to take a look."

"Stop causing trouble and go to bed early. Dalong, did you find anything to eat?" Jia Xiufang asked her son.

Qian looked left and right.

Her mom and her brother looked over from different directions, there shouldn’t be any blind spots, did that guy just vanish into thin air?

"I found a salted duck egg, I guess I’ll make do with the scallions and steamed bun. Mom, I really smelled fried meat, and it had cumin too." Smelling that in the middle of the night made him so hungry.

"Nonsense, what meat, go to sleep." Jia Xiufang saw her son and daughter were fine and went back into her room too. As she closed the door, her nose twitched. There was indeed a smell of fried meat, and it did make her a bit hungry.

"My dear sister, you really don’t want to share this delicious egg with me?" Chen Zilong teased Qian before going into his room.

Qian kicked him, "Get lost as far as you can!"

Chen Zilong felt wronged even as he was kicked into the room.

"What’s with you, don’t praise me, but don’t be mean either..."

He couldn’t figure out where he had offended his sister!

Don’t guess, don’t guess, you won’t figure out what Qian is thinking.

All that’s on her mind now is, where did Xiaoqiang go?

She looked up, oh, now she knew.

The guy had climbed up the wall, using all his skills for this. It showed how versatile a person needed to be, always useful at critical moments. Xiaoqiang felt very confident in his abilities.
