“But we still need to remove the needle in your ankle.”

“Once the swelling has gone down, you can pull it out yourself,” Nangong Nuannuan replied to Sze Lingyun.

“Oh, okay.”

After Sze Lingyun responded, Li Jingyan picked her up in his arms and promptly walked out of the hall with large strides.

Although the Shi family’s young miss had a domineering reputation, Li Jingyan believed that his sister-in-law would definitely not be intimidated.

After all, his sister-in-law’s reputation as a steely white rabbit was well known throughout the Eagle Special Forces.

Just a moment ago, Deputy Hall had been filled with people. Now, besides the few socialites watching from the corridors, only Nangong Nuannuan and Shi Yalin remained in the hall.

Shi Yalin, who always maintained a domineering and arrogant attitude, now shrank back. She did not even dare to look at Nangong Nuannuan. Even though she was aware that she was being watched by the socialites in the corridors, she could not muster the courage to stand up for herself.

Nangong Nuannuan walked towards Shi Yalin, stopping only when she was very, very, very close to her. She was so close that if she were to lean in just a little bit more, they would be touching. She asked in a low voice, “Miss Shi, how have you been?”

When Shi Yalin heard those sinister words, it frightened her so much that she fell onto the steps that led up to the piano. She looked at Nangong Nuannuan in horror.

“You… You… What are you going to do?”

Nangong Nuannuan smiled and bent down. She propped her hands up on the steps and looked deeply into Shi Yalin’s eyes.

Shi Yalin could no longer maintain her position. She slid down the steps to the ground. She looked miserable and pitiful as tears welled up in her eyes.

“Miss Shi, who cured you? Hmm?”

Shi Yalin’s face turned pale as she stuttered a response, “It’s… It was a master that my family f-found.”

“Oh!” Nangong Nuannuan nodded in understanding. “Your family is really amazing. They actually managed to find a master who could reverse the nerve agent I gave you. You’re really lucky.”

Nangong Nuannuan’s cold breath landed on Shi Yalin’s neck. It carried a faint fragrance, but it made the poisonous snake that lived in Shi Yalin’s body practically scream.

Everyone said that she was a poisonous snake, but at this moment, she felt as though she had a giant python wrapped around her neck. If she made even the slightest mistake, the python would squeeze around her and swallow her down whole.

The gentleness that Nuannuan was portraying made her truly afraid.

Although she knew that Nangong Nuannuan was facing Shi Yalin, she felt like Nangong Nuannuan’s dangerous aura was looking directly at who she really was.

She thought about the first time they met, when she had been at the peak of her strength and could still turn invisible, Nangong Nuannuan severely injured her then. Wen Wan’s heart filled with incomprehensible fear.

What if this woman did not play by the rules? What if she saw Shi Yalin as an eyesore and decided to kill her right here?

Even though under normal circumstances, such a thing would not happen, but the woman in front of her was Nangong Nuannuan, who could kill people without batting an eye and admired Queen for being able to kill people in so many different ways!

Shi Yalin was so terrified that tears began rolling down her face. She lowered her head, not even daring to look into Nangong Nuannuan’s eyes. She sobbed as she said, “M-Miss Nangong… I-I won’t say anything… P-please let me go. In the future… no matter where you are… I won’t come near you.”

“You won’t say anything? What do you want to say, hmm?” Nuannuan asked seriously.
