Chapter 248: His Reproach
It was pitch-black, and the tip of her nose seemed to be able to smell the musty damp air around him. Where was this place, and why was it here again?
Eh? The person lying on the bed was Yan Kuan? Wasn’t he rescued? But why was he lying in this pitch-black room?
And those people, what were those people injecting him with? d.a.m.n it, what kind of drug were they injecting him with? Don’t touch him, don’t touch him, get lost, get lost…
Waving her arms, large beads of sweat dropped from her forehead. It was a dream, she was dreaming. How could it be like this? How could she dream about these things? Could it be that this was what Yan Kuan had experienced in the Ouyang family?
He lay there motionlessly, she still remembered the doctor said that Yan Kuan had been drugged with a large amount of knockout drugs, so he slept for three days before waking up. Could it be that it was the same as in the dream, that he had been injected with drugs? Was that so? But why was her heart suddenly feeling uncomfortable and why did she feel so uneasy?
Knock, knock, knock!
“Miss, are you alright?”
It was 19. Shen Xiaoxiao casually put on a coat and opened the door. 19 looked at her anxiously. Perhaps it was because the noise from the nightmare was too loud, so 19, who was in the next room, was alarmed.
“It’s nothing. I had a nightmare. 19, why aren’t you resting? Why aren’t you changing?”
It was already three o’clock in the morning. 19 was still wearing his training clothes. Why was he going to training so late at night? That couldn’t be right, right? Could it be that 19 wanted to visit the Ouyang family at night?
“19, don’t tell me you want to visit the Ouyang family at night?”
19 was shocked. He looked at his clothes. If he hadn’t heard the sound coming from the Miss’ room when he was about to leave, he wouldn’t have rushed over without changing his clothes. Now that Miss had exposed him, he didn’t know what to do.
Shen Xiaoxiao sighed. She thought that 19 did not say anything and acted as if nothing had happened. He would not be too worried. It seemed that she had really underestimated 19’s feelings for Dark 1.
“Miss, I am worried about him.”
“Your Boss will not ignore him. Tomorrow, I will ask when he will arrange for people to rescue those trapped brothers. Those people are in trouble to save him. He will not sit idly by.”
Similarly, Shen Xiaoxiao would not ignore 19 because 19 was her person. If she did not protect her own people, who else could she rely on?
Shen Xiaoxiao thought that 19 would definitely be very happy and excited when she said this, but he did not. 19’s expression seemed to be even worse. He lowered his head and did not say anything for a long time.
Shen Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling. Seeing 19’s appearance, she actually asked timidly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
19 was silent for a long time. Perhaps it was because he was struggling violently that his face was full of constipation. He looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with an extremely troubled expression and said, “Miss, you don’t have to look for Boss. Boss said that he won’t rescue those brothers for the time being.”
“What?”
Really?
“Why? When did he say that? Why didn’t I know?”
Why didn’t anyone inform her of this news? How could Yan Kuan do this?
“When Dark 2 went to look for Boss this afternoon, he asked what arrangements Boss would make. Boss said that the Ouyang family is heavily guarded and has many traps. It is definitely not easy to save people. It is very easy to lose more people.”
“Also, there are those brothers who have been imprisoned. Boss said that the chances of surviving are very low. Rather than going through so much trouble for some dead people, it is better not to save them. We will investigate when we find a suitable opportunity.”
“Are you sure? Is it really what your Boss said?”
Shen Xiaoxiao could not believe it. Yan Kuan actually had moments of fear? How could these words be said? 50 people, but all of them had done it to save him. If he said that he would not save them, then he would not save them? When did he become so cold-blooded?
“Dark 2 and the other brothers are feeling very uncomfortable. This matter is indeed true. That’s why I want to investigate it tonight.”
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. After a while, she looked at 19 and said:
“Go back to your room and rest immediately. You’re not allowed to go out tonight. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow after I’ve clarified everything. Those brothers are all from our Dark Empire. How can we not save them? Even if Yan Kuan doesn’t save them, I’ll save them. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
19 glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao and then at her stomach. He did not dare to argue with her. The Internet said that pregnant women should not be angry, so he should not provoke her. Moreover, according to Miss’ temper, she had already discovered that he wanted to go tonight, she could also come up with 100 ways to make him unable to leave the house.
Sure enough, when 19 opened the door to exercise the next day, he found himself locked in the room. Well, did Miss need to do it so obviously?
Of course, this was a topic for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.
Shen Xiaoxiao sent 19 away and walked to the window alone. The white curtain rose faintly, and the wind would blow here at night.
Why did Yan Kuan do this? Wasn’t he afraid of losing the hearts of the people by doing this? This was really opening the front ranks of the Dark Empire. Wasn’t he never afraid before? Wasn’t he fearless? Why did the Ouyang family shut him down once and turn him into a fool?
Her hand touched the ring that seemed to be locked on her finger. Could the so-called Obsidian Star really not be removed? If it really was, then what was going on with Yan Kuan?
The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao woke up early in the morning and tidied up. Then, she personally opened the door to room 19 that was locked. This 19 looked like a resentful woman. She looked him and wanted to laugh:
“19, did you sleep well last night? A young man must rest well. Don’t stay up all night just because you’re young.”
19 would definitely not say anything. It was because this young lady’s kung fu was too good at arguing sometimes. If even the Boss could not be provoked, how could he be a match for her?
“Miss, I’ll go prepare breakfast for you.”
“Mm, go ahead. I know that you’re anxious to find your Boss. Alright, we’ll go after we finish eating. It’s really like your Little Master hasn’t eaten his fill all day. He wants to eat all the time.”
What a powerful reason. 19 was speechless.
In fact, Yan Kuan’s injuries were really superficial. However, Yan Kuan himself was unwilling to be discharged, so Shen Xiaoxiao naturally did not want him to be discharged immediately. Moreover, she had been having nightmares for the past few days. She felt that something was wrong. However, she could not tell what exactly was wrong.
The moment Shen Xiaoxiao arrived at the base, this guard looked at her with a strange gaze. 19 immediately became alert after following behind Shen Xiaoxiao. Could there be anything wrong?
“Miss, could there be anything wrong?”
“I don’t know. Let’s talk about it after we go in. Who knows, maybe some woman came looking for us. They’re feeling sorry for your Miss, hmph!”
She had seen many of these looks in her previous life and was filled with sympathy. Shen Xiaoxiao led 19 straight to the door of the room.
She opened the door directly. As expected, Ouyang Le came to visit the sick Yan Kuan again. However, before Shen Xiaoxiao could say anything, Ouyang Le took the initiative and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “It seems that Miss Shen doesn’t like to knock.”
Ouyang Le said with a smile, and it was in her own territory. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her and didn’t say anything, but Yan Kuan suddenly said, “Yes, Xiaoxiao, why don’t you knock? Don’t you know how to be polite at least?”
