190: Chapter 190 Xia Ning, have you regressed to your ancestral form?

The car started slowly.

Qin Xun tilted his head and looked at Ye Lan, the corner of his mouth curling into a dangerous arc.

"Ms. Ye Lan, you rarely encounter perverts in your life, right!"

Ye Lan felt a chill run down her spine, yet she felt even more thrilled. She looked down at the hand gripping her neck and smiled.

"Mr. Qin really is a veteran in the romance scene; your methods of taking advantage of others are truly unique."

"This is the first time my neck has been touched by a man!"

Qin Xun looked at the oblivious Ye Lan and said slowly.

"If you have any final words, you should quickly tell your assistant!"

Ye Lan was dumbfounded and twisted her neck, wanting to loosen it up.

But she heard Qin Xun start counting.

"3"

"2"

"1"

As soon as he finished speaking, she felt the hand on her neck tighten abruptly.

In an instant, her face turned red, she could barely breathe, and she let out a strange whimper.

The car braked to a stop immediately.

The two bodyguards stared fixedly at Qin Xun, their eyes like hawks, looking for an opportunity to incapacitate the enemy in one strike.

The neck is a vital point. If Qin Xun were truly ruthless, he could tear a large chunk of flesh from Ye Lan's neck or even crush her throat.

A singer getting disfigured or injuring their throat is a massive safety incident, one they couldn't afford to pay for even if they went bankrupt.

Ye Lan's assistant, Wang Cui, poked her head out from the passenger seat, her face deathly pale.

"Mr. Qin, please calm down."

"This is intentional assault, and you will go to jail."

"If anything happens to Ms. Ye Lan, your bright future will be over."

Wang Cui was almost in tears, her voice trembling.

"You are still young, you have a long road ahead of you, please don't do anything rash."

"As long as you let go, we can pretend nothing happened."

Qin Xun sneered.

"Now you know how to educate me on the law?"

"When you dragged me into the car and held me illegally just now, where was your legal awareness?"

Wang Cui was speechless.

How could that count as illegal detention? Whoever was pulled into a car and saw it was the big star Ye Lan would be screaming with excitement, right?

Moreover, it was to discuss a 3-million-dollar deal.

With such a huge opportunity falling into one's lap, who would care if the actions taken to "invite" them were a bit rough?

Wang Cui pleaded, her voice choked with tears.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin."

"We have stopped the car now, and the locks are open. Please let go of Ms. Ye Lan!"

Qin Xun turned to look at Ye Lan and found her face flushed red, her eyes slightly bloodshot, so he loosened his grip a little.

"Did you see the person chasing behind..."

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Xia Ning climbing a landscaping tree.

"..."

"Did you see that woman climbing the tree behind us?"

"Turn around immediately and take me back to her."

The driver, Master Wu, said, "This is a one-way street."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cui punched the driver on the shoulder.

"Master Wu, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"Turn around, now!"

The car turned around quickly.

Xia Ning was climbing the tree. When she had climbed to nearly two meters high, she saw a commercial vehicle slowly stop by the side of the road.

She looked closely and was stunned. Isn't this the one she was chasing?

The car window rolled down slowly. Qin Xun was holding a beautiful woman by the neck and turned her face toward the window.

"Ye Lan, do you see that?"

"That agile woman on the tree is my assistant. Look at her appearance."

"You aren't even worth a single hair of hers."

He let go and patted her face lightly.

"Who the hell wants to touch your neck?"

"An arrogant, average woman, you're such a turn-off!"

Ye Lan bent over, clutching her chest, gasping for air. For a moment there, she really thought she was going to die. She couldn't help but cry softly.

"Wuwuwu..."

Qin Xun didn't even look at Ye Lan, opened the door, and got out. The car sped away.

Qin Xun stood under the tree, looking up at Xia Ning who was hugging the tree, and laughed.

"Little Xia, do you have to be so silly?"

"Chasing the car barefoot is one thing, but climbing a tree too? Have you reverted to a primal state?"

Xia Ning carefully slid down from the tree. When her feet were half a meter from the ground, she let go and jumped down, but landed in Qin Xun's arms, who held her waist tightly.

Xia Ning: "???"

She struggled to get down.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Xun used the sole of his shoe to sweep away the gravel on the ground before slowly putting her down, letting her stand on the slightly cleaner spot.

"You really are reckless; can you jump barefoot?"

"How many pebbles are on the ground?"

Xia Ning's face flushed slightly.

Qin Xun smiled at her and turned to run back.

Xia Ning: "???"

She thought Qin Xun was playing a prank, leaving a barefoot girl on the side of the road, but when she turned to look, she happened to see Qin Xun picking up the slippers she had lost while running.

In a little while, Qin Xun came over with the two shoes and crouched down, placing them by her feet.

"Lift your feet, I'll brush the little sand off your feet before putting them back on."

Xia Ning looked down at Qin Xun, her ears burning, and she was so embarrassed that her toes curled up, digging deep into the ground.

She subconsciously lifted one foot, but seeing Qin Xun's hands about to grab it, she quickly dodged back and wiped it quickly on her pant leg.

"I'll just wipe it off myself."

Suddenly! A pair of large hands grabbed her foot firmly, then immediately loosened the grip slightly, as if afraid of hurting her.

Qin Xun lifted her foot slightly and looked at the sole, his voice low and cold.

"The soles of your feet are bleeding!"

Hearing this, Xia Ning reached out to steady herself against the tree, lifted her foot, and sure enough, there was a small cut with some blood.

But it wasn't big; it was something a bandage could fix.

Having just heard Qin Xun's cold voice, with enough resentment to summon the Zombie King, she thought the soles of her feet had been worn through!

She smiled.

"It's nothing, just a small wound."

But she saw Qin Xun crouching on the ground, gently wiping the sole of her foot with his fingers, making her feel a tingling sensation all over her body.

"Don't... don't do that!"

"It's..." She swallowed the word "ticklish" and changed it to, "Uncomfortable!"

Qin Xun put the slippers on her.

Xia Ning quickly lifted her other foot, took a tissue out of her pocket, wiped it carefully, and put the slipper on as well.

Qin Xun stood up and looked coldly at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning met this cold gaze, and inexplicably, a feeling of having done something wrong rose in her heart, so she lowered her head slightly.

Qin Xun's tone was reproachful.

"Xia Ning, do you think you can catch up to a car?"

"You insisted on running after it, and then you played monkey climbing a tree?"

Xia Ning raised her head, snorted coldly, and her face returned to its cool expression.

"I just wanted to see the direction the car was heading. There is a fork in the road ahead, and I could provide more accurate information to the police, making it easier to find you."

Qin Xun sneered.

"The police will check the surveillance cameras. How many seconds faster could your bit of information make it?"

Xia Ning was a bit unconvinced.

"A second faster is still a second."

"For kidney harvesting, twenty seconds is enough to cut you open."

"If they wanted your life, three seconds is enough to stop your breathing."

Qin Xun watched the slightly angry Xia Ning quietly, without saying a word.

Xia Ning avoided his gaze and said in a deep voice,

"You were attacked with a knife on the street a few days ago, and today you were abducted into a car again. You should hire some bodyguards."

She turned her head and looked into Qin Xun's eyes.

"Or, should I teach you Taekwondo?"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, smiled, and was about to answer.

Suddenly! A car stopped abruptly on the side of the road, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Qin Xun took a look and found it was that commercial vehicle again.

He crouched down, picked up a stone from the ground, stood in front of Xia Ning, and whispered,

"Little Xia, you run first!"

"I'll fight them to the death!"
