Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: Thrown Away by
“Get away—” A voice rang out, just as she looked up, a bucket of cold water was splashed down upon her.
“Cough cough…” Jian Yufei ca to her senses, opening her blurry eyes.
Mo Lan was also splashed and drenched, that bodyguard had deliberately thrown the water at them.
Her identity was that of Qi Ruigang’s wife, his daring to splash water on her ant it was Qi Ruigang’s intention.
Mo Lan helped Jian Yufei up, asking with concern, “Are you alright?”
Jian Yufei looked around and saw three nacing bodyguards standing in the room.
Both she and Mo Lan were in a sorry state.
With a flick of her wet hair, Jian Yufei shook her head: “I’m fine. Mo Lan, how did you get caught by them too?”
“I stole Qi Ruigang’s chip but didn’t manage to escape. How about you?”
“At the banquet hall, soone drugged , and then I ended up here.” Jian Yufei gripped her hand, unable to resist asking: “Did you not get the chip?”
Mo Lan glanced at the surrounding bodyguards, staying silent.
Jian Yufei understood her aning; so things couldn’t be heard by them.
Just then, the room’s door was pushed open, and Qi Ruigang, having changed his clothes, strode in.
His expression was dark and fierce, his towering figure casting a huge shadow over them.
Jian Yufei noticed a piece of gauze on his forehead. Had soone hit him?
Qi Ruigang’s gloomy gaze shifted between the two of them, finally settling on Mo Lan.
“Lanlan, where did you hide the chip?” he asked coldly.
“I threw it away,” Mo Lan said indifferently.
“Lanlan, you said you would obediently listen to , that you wouldn’t betray ,” Qi Ruigang’s voice was emotionless, yet it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Mo Lan pursed her lips, eting his gaze defiantly: “You believed a lie?”
“You lied to ?!”
“You deserved it!”
The next second, Qi Ruigang fiercely gripped Mo Lan’s neck.
He yanked her body up.
“Mo Lan!” Jian Yufei scrambled to her feet, trying to save her, but as soon as she ca close, Qi Ruigang pushed her away with one hand.
Her balance lost, she fell to the ground once more.
Her legs under her dress collided, a hard object painfully striking the inner side of her right thigh.
A sense of hope rose in Jian Yufei’s eyes.
To prevent Qi Ruigang from hurting her again, she had strapped a handgun to the inner side of her thigh before attending the banquet.
The skirt she chose was a loose, long one specifically to conceal it.
Fortunately, they hadn’t searched her; otherwise, the gun would have been discovered.
Qi Ruigang continued to choke Mo Lan fiercely, his voice sinister: “I’ll give you one more chance. Just tell where the chip is, and I’ll forgive you this once, otherwise… you know the consequences.”
Mo Lan, grasping his hand, repeated the sa line: “I threw it away; it’s not on .”
“Where did you throw it?”
“Sowhere inside the villa, go find it yourself.”
“Tell the exact location.”
“How would I know? I was panicked and threw it in a hurry when you guys were about to catch .”
Qi Ruigang’s eyes narrowed, a sinister smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth: “Mo Lan, are you playing gas with ?”
The situation having escalated to this point, Mo Lan was ready to throw caution to the wind.
She wouldn’t hand over the chip, and if he wanted her life, she was prepared to face death.
“I’m not playing gas with you, search if you don’t believe .”
Qi Ruigang’s gaze grew even more piercing.
He hadn’t expected her to remain unyielding; only today did he realize he never truly understood this woman at all!
