Chapter 446 - 448: The Best Time to Steal the Medicine 2
Just as she was about to pull it out, Nangong Yaoling moved slightly, causing Xia Xiaonuan to tremble in fear and almost fall to the ground.Fortunately, Nangong Yaoling merely shifted and then continued to sleep soundly.
Finally, Xia Xiaonuan successfully retrieved the keys.
She quickly sifted through the keys. Nangong Yaoling usually carried only the house and office keys, which she could easily identify. Among the remaining ones was one shaped like a pentagram.
It was quite special, with several blue diamonds embedded on it.
The key to the secret room downstairs must be this one!
Xia Xiaonuan thought excitedly.
...
Qin Yi’s car raced wildly down the highway.
Finding Nangong Yaoling was different, after all, he knew all the places Nangong Yaoling frequented.
But Nangong Zhongli, with her typically aloof personality, was impossible for him to predict.
So he could only search famous bars in the city one by one.
Fortunately, given Nangong Zhongli’s status, she would definitely go to upscale bars.
This helped narrow down the places he needed to search.
Finally, in one bar, he spotted Nangong Zhongli.
However, the scene he witnessed left him flabbergasted.
Several men were pestering Nangong Zhongli to play with them. Nangong Zhongli swiftly kicked one of them where it hurts most.
The man screamed in pain as others rushed up.
In the blink of an eye, Nangong Zhongli nimbly took them all down.
In an instant, they were all on the ground, crying out in agony.
Nangong Zhongli staggered a bit as she walked, pointing at the men on the ground: "You lot dare mess with me!"
The men immediately scrambled up and fled.
Seeing that Nangong Zhongli was safe, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly pushed through the crowd and approached. Nangong Zhongli raised a glass of red wine and chugged it all down.
"Miss Zhong Li, stop drinking!" Qin Yi rushed forward to grab the glass from her.
But just as he reached out, a fist flashed before his eyes and struck him in the face.
Qin Yi groaned in pain, instantly getting a black eye.
Nangong Zhongli grabbed his arm, ready to hit him again.
Qin Yi quickly shouted, "Miss Zhong Li, it’s me!"
The usually cold-blooded assassin had never appeared so helpless.
Nangong Zhongli’s fist hung in the air, not coming down.
Her eyes, blurry with intoxication, stared at Qin Yi.
"Qin... Mr. Qin?"
Qin Yi was overjoyed; thankfully, Nangong Zhongli recognized him!
If he had known her drunken state made her so formidable, he wouldn’t have been worried when he arrived!
Nangong Zhongli’s expression brightened, and she quickly pulled Qin Yi to sit beside her.
"You came just in time, drink... drink with me!" Nangong Zhongli said, pouring a glass of red wine and handing it to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Miss Zhong Li... I don’t drink!"
As Nangong Yaoling’s dedicated protector and bodyguard, he had to be constantly vigilant, abstaining from alcohol.
But Nangong Zhongli insisted, placing the glass beside him: "No, you must drink! Not drinking means... you look down on me!"
"Miss Zhong Li, let me take you home!" Qin Yi stood up, but was pushed back into the chair forcefully by Nangong Zhongli.
Nangong Zhongli looked at him, her eyes instantly reddening.
"Even you hate me..." her voice choked up suddenly.
Qin Yi shuddered, nervously stammering: "Miss Zhong Li... I... I didn’t mean that..."
