C41 Supercilious Heart
"Yin Lan." Ning Ou's voice was low. His voice was hoarse.
After a while, everyone was stunned. Even Zhao Tianqing, who was on the roof, had come down. Yin Lan, who had fallen into the water, did not appear for a long time.
"Not good!" Zhang Xunmo looked at the surface of the water, which was full of rubbish, and said in a deep voice, "This place has been out of repair all year round. In addition, there is no one to manage it. The quality of the water is very poor, and weeds are everywhere. Yin Lan did not come up just like that. Could it be that she was entangled by the aquatic plants?"
After being reminded by Zhang Xunmo, Ning Ou rushed out of his mouth and said, "Quickly go down and save her!"
The last two words were almost shouted out loud. Zhao Tianqing and Zhang Xunmo were frightened by his momentum. They immediately ordered the people around them to go down and save her. They were afraid that Ning Ou would say something that would make them die with him in the next second.
The moment Yin Lan fell into the water, her four limbs stiffened. It was as if all of her strength had been sucked away and she had forgotten to struggle.
Seeing the dark water wrapping around her, her breathing stopped. Not long after, a feeling of swelling filled her chest, but she still could not move.
The sunlight was cut into pieces by the layers of rippling water. Her eyes silently looked up. The mottled light and shadow slid on her body, pulling out the hot air that belonged to her, making her feel as if she was in a world of ice and snow.
Her limbs, which were stiff as if they were tied up, did not move. Some unbearable memories began to flow into her mind.
"Yi'er, let's go! Go and find Grandpa!"
The Band-Aid on her face fell off after being soaked in water. The tingling pain woke up Yin Lan's most fearful memory. The swelling of her chest turned into burning pain. The pain on her face turned into the pain of having her bones gouged out. She opened her mouth to call for help but was stopped by the endless water.
The blue water in front of her turned into a glaring scarlet as it pressed down on her from all directions.
Suddenly, a burning pain woke her hazy consciousness. She opened her eyes slowly and saw a pair of eyes that were as heavy as the night and were in the shape of a furious jade.
"Very good, I'm finally willing to wake up." A cold voice that was thin and cold like water entered her ears.
Yin Lan looked and immediately woke up. She felt her face burning and instantly became angry. "Ning Ou, hit me!"
"Yes, I hit you." Ning Ou nodded indifferently and admitted generously.
Yin Lan looked at the people around her and became angry. She remembered that she had been put on the ground with her back against the wall. It was obvious that she had adjusted herself to Ning Ou's position so that he could attack her.
Thinking of this, she became even angrier and waved her hand.
Ning Ou's cold eyes instantly turned into a storm.
Zhang Xunmo and Zhao Tianqing were shocked by her actions. Their faces changed at the same time.
Just as they were about to stop, they saw Yin Lan restrain herself again.
"I will remember, I will remember!"
She gritted her teeth and said those words. She turned around angrily and left.
"Are we going to chase after them? This place is still quite a distance away from the city. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for her to get a car like this." Zhang Xunmo looked at Yin Lan's back and asked Ning Ou gently.
"Let her go." Ning Ou replied with a cold face.
Zhang Xunmo had no choice but to not mention it.
Zhao Tianqing saw that Ning Ou's expression was calm, but he had to ask today's question, "I thought we could make progress, but I didn't expect that he would let us miss it."
"Did you see Yin Lan fight with her before you went up?" Ning Ou's mind was diverted by Zhao Tianqing's topic.
"No, but I heard that the two of them seemed to have fought for a while."
"Ou, what do you think?" Ning Ou asked. Zhang Xunmo could tell something was wrong from Ning Ou's question.
Ning Ou did not answer immediately. His mind, which had just turned back, could not help jumping to another place because of Zhang Xunmo's words.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Xunmo and Zhao Tianqing looked at each other and did not interrupt.
Just when the two of them were about to suggest going back, Ning Ou spoke. What he said made their expressions change again.
"Do you guys think I should be engaged to Xu Qingya?"
The two of them knew very well that Ning Ou's wavering had a lot to do with Yin Lan.
Zhang Xunmo saw that the topic was too deep, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat to the other side of the warehouse.
There were only the three of them left in the back of the warehouse.
"Yin Lan is not simple, and we can't find anything suspicious about her background. Aren't you afraid that she is a chess piece planted by someone else beside you?" Zhao Tianqing was afraid that Ning Ou would be bewitched by Yin Lan, so he reminded her.
Zhang Xunmo agreed with Zhao Tianqing's words, "If our matters are known by outsiders, I am afraid that the entire Nanxing will no longer be our habitat."
"So what?" Ning Ou didn't care about the risks. "If Yin Lan is really a chess piece, she will judge the situation more than ordinary people and weigh the pros and cons. If Yin Lan is not a chess piece, So the problem is not whether Yin Lan is a chess piece or not. "
Zhang Xunmo and Zhao Tianqing could tell his confidence and arrogance from Ning Ou's calm words. At the same time, they could also tell that Yin Lan was different from the others.
Ning Ou was still the Ning Ou they were familiar with. It was just that the current Ning Ou wanted to try the so-called taboo.
And this result was something that they could control. Therefore, it was not worth mentioning.
"Alright then." Seeing Ning Ou so confident, Zhao Tianqing gave up on reminding him, "Speaking of which, I haven't touched a woman in a long time. I'll go and play some other day. Do you want to go?"
He was talking to Zhang Xunmo.
Zhang Xunmo waved his hand when he saw Zhao Tianqing looking for him. "I can't even handle a father and son right now. It will be a mess if I have more women."
Subconsciously, his gaze drifted in the direction where Yin Lan had left.
Ou had fallen for her. What about her?
Was it the same?
The sky was dark. The forest was quiet. Except for the occasional whimpers of the cold wind, there was not even the sound of a bird.
Yin Lan walked alone on the mountain road. Because she was angry, she forgot that this part of the road was far away from the city. In addition, there were few people and there was no way to take a taxi.
She called Wu Sheng and walked in the same direction as when she came. She did not want to meet Ning Ou and his group who had left.
She did not know that Ning Ou's car had been searching for her along the mountain road. She waited for an hour before leaving.
Ning Ou did not know that in order to avoid meeting him, Yin Lan had specially ordered Faang Yan to come to pick her up from another mountain road.
Sitting in the car, Yin Lan took out her phone and called Faang Yuanxi. She did not even make three calls before she had to give up. Just as she sat up, she saw Faang Yan looking at her from the rearview mirror.
She looked down at herself. "Isn't it embarrassing?"
Faang Yan turned on the air conditioner for her. "When we get back to the city, does Miss Yin want to go shopping first or go back to Huawei first?"
"I'll go back to my own place, Central Forest Road, Fulin District." Yin Lan temporarily did not want to go to Huawei.
"Okay."
The car soon arrived at the area that Yin Lan locked up. Although it was not as stylish as Huhao and was not as luxurious as the Golden Elegant Manor, it was quiet and quiet. It was considered a good boutique area outside the mansion.
Yin Lan opened the car door and went out. When Faang Yan was about to leave, she stopped him, "Tell Fifth Brother that I'm fine."
Faang Yan looked at Yin Lan, who was in a sorry state but also looked very strong. He smiled. "Okay. I will pass on the message to CEO Wu."
"Thank you." After Yin Lan thanked him, she turned around and went upstairs.
When she returned home, Yin Lan took a set of clothes and went to take a bath. The dirty smell and the shadow in her heart made her unable to take it. Putting the water in the bathtub, she restrained the resistance in her heart and sat inside. The various emotions that burst out from her heart were like a ignited bomb that instantly blew up her entire heart.
She laid down her heart and opened her eyes wide. She allowed the fear and suffocation to surround her.
Her inner demons were not controlled, and she was haunted by nightmares.
After fighting with the water for two hours, Yin Lan came out of the bathroom exhausted. She could swim freely in the pool in Italy, but why did she feel like she had recovered after she arrived in Nanxing?
And why did the man in black want to kill that gunman tonight? He was Faang Yuanxi's man. The two shooters were Fifth Brother's men. Other than working relationships, there had never been any underground connections between the Fang family and Hua Jingsheng. Could it be that there had been a change in Italy that she did not know about in the past three years?
She stood in front of the French window in the living room with a glass of wine in her hand. She looked at the neon street outside. The traffic was dim, and her face was full of thoughts.
As she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. She drank the wine in her glass in one gulp before walking over. However, when the string of numbers entered her eyes, she got up and walked away, continuing to pour her own drink.
Ning Ou, who was on the other side of the phone, saw that she did not answer his phone. His beautiful brows could not help but furrow as he looked at the phone thoughtfully.
Coincidentally, Levin came in and prepared the information for tomorrow for him. He took the information and fiddled with the phone in his hand for a while before asking him, "Levin, are you in love?"
Levin was caught off guard and asked this question. He was first stunned, then looked nervously at Ning Ou. "Director Ning, did I miss something?"
That was why Director Ning thought that he had been distracted by something.
When Ning Ou heard that he did not answer the question, he frowned even more. "Just answer the question I asked you."
Levin's breath tightened. He was even more nervous. "No... no."
"Then you can go out." Ning Ou sounded disappointed.
"Yes." Levin did not know why Ning Ou, who had ulterior motives, would ask him this question, but seeing that Ning Ou's expression did not change, he cautiously retreated.
That night, Yin Lan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
That night, Ning Ou was not sleepy at all.
When the sun rose from the horizon with unstoppable light, the night could only run without stopping.
Every day was a tug of war between day and night. At the same time, it was also a match between office workers and life.
Yin Lan only woke up when the office workers were running on the way to work.
When she just woke up, she felt a throbbing pain in her brain as if her brain had been cut. She sat up in a daze and found herself sleeping in the living room. Furthermore, it was embedded in the carpet between the sofa and the coffee table.
She pinched her fingers and calculated that it had been five or six years since she last had a hangover.
However, what was even more tragic was that she was still in her youth.
She walked to the bathroom with her bare feet rubbing her sleepy eyes and preparing to wash up. Suddenly, she remembered that she had been dismissed by Xu Jinsong. Now, she could be considered an idle person. There was no need for her to get up early.
But when she stared at the bloodshot eyes and pale face in the mirror with a strange look, she was suddenly shocked. She had been trained by Hua Jingsheng for many years and had experienced many life and death battles. How could she still lose control of herself?
If anything happened last night, she might not wake up at all!
If Hua Jingsheng knew that he was not able to control himself, he would probably throw her on the uninhabited island again.
Just thinking about the consequences made him feel scared.
After washing up, she remembered that she still had to make a trip to Huhao today, so she tied her hair up and applied powder on her cheeks to cover her paleness.
Just as she was busy, someone knocked on the door.
