Chapter 143: Alright, Then Climb Into the Car Yourself?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan took out something about the size of a jelly bean from her pocket and casually tossed it into the large hole on the roof.
The “jelly bean” landed on the ground, silently shattering upon impact due to the height.
A wisp of smoke emerged from the cracks and drifted upward.
Titan and his men hadn’t noticed anything unusual and had already inhaled the smoke.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. Their vision darkened one by one, and with a thud, they all collapsed to the ground.
Once they were all down, Nan Yan jumped down from the roof, landing with a bent knee to absorb the impact.
Standing up, she walked over to Shen Junqing, removed the cloth gag from his mouth, and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Cough…”
Shen Junqing coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The internal injuries had caused blood to accumulate within his chest, and it was finally being expelled now that there was a way out.
Once he had expelled most of the stagnant blood, Nan Yan retrieved a porcelain bottle from her pocket, poured out a pill, and put it in his mouth.
Shen Junqing hadn’t inhaled too much of the toxic fumes.
The toxic smoke had leaked out and risen directly upwards. His lying position had actually prevented him from being affected by the poison.
But due to the beating and internal injuries, he had fallen into a semi-conscious state.
After taking the pill Nan Yan offered, he quickly regained consciousness.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a stunningly beautiful young girl squatting beside him, holding a needle and about to prick him.
“Yan… Yan Yan?”
Was he seeing things?
How could she be here!
“Don’t move.” Nan Yan glanced at him indifferently, her movements uninterrupted.
He had suffered severe internal iniuries, so she wanted to stabilize his
condition first. The rest could be handled once they reached the hospital.
Shen Junqing truly stayed still, allowing her to prick him with the thin, long needles.
Although he couldn’t move his body, his mouth was still functional.
“Sis, why are you here?”
“If I hadn’t come, would you be content to die here?”
Nan Yan’s words were far from polite.
“I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you, so easily manipulated.”
“Don’t blame me for this!” Shen Junqing felt wronged, “I was knocked out and ambushed by them!”
He usually pretended to be a playboy, so he often hung out with those unruly friends.
Who would have thought Jiang Haobo would still plot against him? He had brought the Titan group here.
He had been drinking with those friends at the time, and he had no idea why he had suddenly been drugged and captured.
Even if he faced Titan and his group head-on, he might not necessarily lose, even against seven or eight of them!
Nan Yan needled him with her words, “That’s because you weren’t cautious enough, too arrogant. Otherwise, how could you have been outsmarted?”
Shen Junqing:
Indeed.
It was his own fault.
He had been acting as a playboy, and he had actually started thinking of himself as one. He deserved to be outsmarted.
This incident had taught him a lesson. In the future, he had to be careful and cautious in whatever he did.
After finishing the acupuncture on Shen Junqing, Nan Yan approached Titan’s group.
She found a rope and tied up the unconscious men.
After securing them, she turned to Shen Junqing, “Third Brother, what do you want to do with them?”
They had harmed him; they couldn’t just let them go.
Shen Junqing leaned against the dirty wall in a somewhat pitiable state, his mind clearer now.
Seeing the men that Nan Yan was easily dealing with, he couldn’t help but be curious, “Yan Yan, how did they pass out?”
“They were poisoned a little.” Nan Yan’s tone was casual, “They’ll probably need another two hours before waking up.”
“Then I’ll have my men take them away.”
“Alright.”
“Little sis, um, could you hand me my phone?”
He was currently in a very undignified state.
Nan Yan took Shen Junqing’s phone from Titan’s hand and gave it to him.
Shen Junqing took the phone and called his people.
Within half an hour, his subordinates arrived in a hurry.
Seeing Shen Junqing’s pitiful appearance, Tang Cheng swallowed his saliva and asked instinctively, “Third Young Master, are you alright?”
Shen Junqing gritted his teeth, “I’m not dead yet.”
As Nan Yan removed the silver needles from him, she stood by Titan’s men.
With silent agreement, the men bundled up Shen Junqing’s attackers and carried them away.
Although Shen Junqing was hesitant to accept Nan Yan’s offer, he eventually agreed, “Yeah, I’ll go with you, Third Brother.”
“Then you go back first.”
“Okay…”
Only then did Tang Cheng notice Nan Yan’s presence. He sneakily glanced at her and was instantly struck by her stunning beauty.
No wonder the Third Young Master doted on this non-blood-related, adopted sister so much!
This sister was really too attractive!
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also the first one by the Third Young Master’s side when danger arose.
There was definitely a reason for the Third Young Master’s affection towards her…
Tang Cheng mumbled to himself in his mind, then discreetly left without being a bother.
Once Tang Cheng had left, Nan Yan walked over to Shen Junqing and raised an eyebrow, “Can you walk on your own?”
“Of course!”
Shen Junqing tried to appear strong, but as he took his first step, his legs gave way, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.
Quick to react, Nan Yan supported him, saying in a slow and deliberate manner, “Don’t act tough. Lean on me.”
She was shorter than Shen Junqing by about a head, so he had to look up at her.
However, despite her appearance, her tone and expression didn’t reveal any softness; instead, they exuded an icy detachment.
Shen Junqing hesitated at her suggestion, “But, won’t that weigh you down and make you shorter?”
“Sure.”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, “Are you suggesting that you climb into the car yourself?”
Shen Junqing:
He would rather not!
“In that case, be gentle.”
He cautiously shifted his weight onto the girl’s slender shoulders.
He was wary, fearing that his weight might be too much for her to bear and they might both fall over.
However, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
Nan Yan supported him steadily, walking slowly towards her car.
Once inside the car, Shen Junqing buckled his seatbelt with great care, enduring the discomfort in his chest. He turned to the side and asked, “Yan Yan, where are we going? Your house?”
“We’re going to the hospital first to have your injuries treated.”
“You have a few fractures on your body, and it’s not advisable to treat them here.”
Shen Junqing looked puzzled.
How did she know more about his injuries than he did?
Did she have medical skills?
