Luo Nan's words were effective in most situations, especially with the amplification effect of Manager Sha. A few seconds later, everyone had entered the elevator. However, as the elevator doors closed, the atmosphere in the enclosed car tilted towards awkwardness at a visible speed.
The one with the most abnormal behavior was Ji Qiong.
As a C-list celebrity with a bit of fame in the company, she was quite familiar with Director Sha. With the advantage of being a woman, she was good at dealing with people.
However, after entering the elevator, she stopped fiddling with her hair. She let the thick curtain of hair fall down and cover half of her face. She stood in the corner on the right front of the elevator car, looking down at the metal wall. Her body was tense, making one suspect that once the elevator door opened, she would immediately rush out and get as far away from some people in the elevator as possible.
Supervisor Sha knew that there was a problem, but he knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Therefore, he just played dumb and kept his mouth shut.
Fortunately, Luo Nan had no intention of opening his mouth. He stood in the rear left corner of the sedan. He Yueyin and Cat Eyes were at his side, while Gao De and Si Guosheng formed a simple human wall in front of him. They separated him from the other people in the elevator.
Because it was an exclusive elevator, it didn't stop at the middle floor and soon reached the exclusive passage at the bottom floor. With a "ding", the elevator door opened. Ji Qiong was indeed the first to exit the elevator. She walked forward with her head down.
However, even if Luo Nan and the others wanted to go to the underground parking lot, they still needed to travel with her in this half-sealed passageway.
Supervisor Sha was rather dissatisfied with Ji Qiong's performance. Even if she was afraid, who was she trying to make it so obvious? He was worried that Luo Nan would be dissatisfied, so he pretended to reprimand the staff member next to him. He supported Luo Nan and said, "Little You, your time management is far too amateurish. She's so anxious. What was she doing earlier!?"
The employee with the surname You didn't say much. He just laughed and blocked the elevator sensors with Manager Sha, inviting Luo Nan's group to go first.
After exiting the elevator, He Yueyin ordered Gaud and Si Guosheng, "Go start the cars, two of them."
As she spoke, she tossed out two small access keys. Gaud and Si Guoxing caught them firmly. They looked at each other and left quickly without saying anything.
The two burly men walked like the wind and quickly overtook Ji Qiong. Ji Qiong was startled. She walked too quickly and sprained her ankle. She hurriedly held onto the side wall of the tunnel and finally slowed down.
Luo Nan remained silent in the elevator for a few dozen seconds. It was as if his mind had wandered off to another world. He had no reaction to the little details that happened before his eyes. He followed He Yueyin and Cat Eyes as they walked forward.
However, just as he walked 20 meters away, he stopped without warning.
Cat Eyes turned her head. "What's wrong?"
"I forgot something."
Cat Eyes snorted, "You're so forgetful... Don't bother with small toys."
"The Flowstone Kit I bought for my sister. I left it at room 5621. I haven't touched it."
Cat Eyes whistled. "Tycoon! But I think my share is pretty good. It's worth it. "
Manager Sha came over just in time. "It's fine, it's fine … Little You, you can make another trip. It's not a big deal anyway."
Xiaoyou was obviously taken aback.
Luo Nan's gaze swept over. He shook his head and said, "No need to trouble yourself … …"
"It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. The elevator hasn't even gone up yet!"
Manager Sha maintained a fawning smile on his face, but he was already quite unhappy with Xiaoyou's hesitation. Youngsters these days can't even keep their eyes peeled. How can they get a promotion and pay raise in the future!?
Xiaoyou faced Manager Sha's icy gaze, and he finally understood the social truth that an arm cannot twist a thigh. He revealed a smile and said, "I'll be right back." Then he hurried to the elevator twenty meters away. He was still carrying two large bags on his back, but there was no one here to help him.
Manager Sha hated that he couldn't bring out a chair and invite Luo Nan to sit down and rest. His smile grew even more brilliant. "Just wait a moment, sir … …"
Ji Qiong rubbed her ankle before he could finish speaking. She whispered, "Xiaoyou, leave my bag behind."
Xiaoyou instinctively went, "Oh." He walked back and handed one of the bags to Ji Qiong. Only then did he leave under Manager Sha's cold gaze.
Ji Qiong couldn't care less about Manager Sha's thoughts. She spoke softly, "It's almost time for the rehearsal. I'll go backstage first."
Manager Sha's gaze swept between her and Luo Nan's body. It was better to have less trouble than less trouble, so he responded, "...... Fine. Don't be in too much of a hurry. It wouldn't be good if you get hurt and delay the performance."
Ji Qiong let out a breath of relief after obtaining Manager Sha's permission. She was just about to turn around and leave when a voice suddenly rang out by her ear. It was extremely close. "I want to ask you about something."
Ji Qiong jumped in fright. She turned around in fright, her hair flying up and sweeping across Luo Nan's face. The eyes of the other person narrowed, and they fell into Ji Qiong's eyes. She only felt that the glow in those eyes was growing more and more treacherous.
She reflexively lowered her head to avoid the gaze. She said, "I'm sorry," but she didn't receive a response from Luo Nan. She raised her head again, and she saw the young man in front of her staring fixedly at her.
"What in the world does this person mean?"
Ji Qiong was a bit flustered, but there was still a bit of restlessness in the depths of her heart. In this short period of time, her secret relationship with He Donglou had been exposed by this young man and a few others. She still remembered He Donglou's helpless appearance after he left the house in disappointment. There was no doubt that this sixteen or seventeen year old so-called Boss Luo had an extremely high status. It was so high that even He Donglou, this super-rich young master, had to be fearful of him.
Of course, she felt restless from the bottom of her heart to be targeted by such a character. But if the reason for his extraordinary attention was because he fancied her beauty, then it would be a better result. It didn't matter whether she was caught in the act or not. In any case, as long as he wanted to make a move, she wouldn't have the slightest ability to resist.
If … … If she could develop such a young and high status client, then it would be a blessing in disguise.
However, she thought about it further. The well-known dance instructor of the city, Cat Eyes, had a deep relationship with this person. And there was also that Sister Yueyin, whose words carried a lot of weight. She wasn't inferior to Ji Qiong in terms of appearance and figure … … It couldn't be that this young man was a little mischievous. He was experienced in this path, seeking excitement, and liked this sort of style.
While she was letting her imagination run wild, Luo Nan extended his hand without any warning. He pulled a strand of hair from her shoulder and twirled it between his fingers.
Ji Qiong was stupefied on the spot.
Even though she was naturally bold and unrestrained, she couldn't help blushing in this kind of situation. And the cold and clear gazes of the two people of the same gender made her heart palpitate with guilt.
However, what made her restless the most was still Luo Nan's eyes.
With her hair pulled, she was forced to look at Luo Nan face to face at a close distance. She saw that this young man was probably wearing contact lenses. The excessively bright reflections covered most of the information, but she couldn't see the lust and greed that she was most familiar with.
The corresponding expression and gaze were like that of a child playing with a new toy, revealing a feeling of curiosity and satisfaction like "so it's like this".
Ji Qiong had never seen this type of person before, but she had heard of him. He was simply a type of pervert who didn't treat people as people. He was someone who could torment people to the extreme … … If he was someone like that, she would hide as far away as she could.
"Teacher Ji." Luo Nan opened his mouth once more.
Ji Qiong shuddered. She really couldn't bear such an overly polite and lofty form of address: "You don't deserve it. You don't deserve it … …"
Luo Nan didn't care about Ji Qiong's reaction. From his perspective, the "educational video" he watched in the morning had gone through several hours of filtering. The deepest impression left behind was actually Ji Qiong's long hair, which was like thick smoke.
After taking the opportunity to touch it and play with it, it could also be considered a wish.
He went straight to the point. "There's something very important that I want to ask you. This is a private matter, but I hope you can understand … "
The more polite Luo Nan was, the more worried Ji Qiong became. She looked at Manager Sha for help. The latter was also confused, but no matter what, he did not dare to offend Boss Luo. He could only pretend not to see and clumsily turned his head away.
A strand of Ji Qiong's hair was still in his grasp. There was nowhere to hide. Luo Nan probed a few times, but Luo Nan still wouldn't let go. He could only respond helplessly, "Boss Luo, you've said your goodbyes..."
She had already prepared herself to be embarrassed, but no matter how much she maintained her mental defenses, the words that came out of Luo Nan's mouth still stupefied her in the first instant:
"How many women have you had sex with recently? Who are they? "
Ji Qiong was tongue-tied. Her face turned from red to white, then from white to red. Her head was filled with the dizziness brought about by the blood rushing to her head. Something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't force it out no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing this, Luo Nan expressed his understanding: "I'm sorry. My question was too broad. Tell me, how long have you been in a relationship with Lan Lin? What about He Donglou? "
"......"
"I know that you had sex with Lan Lin in room 5627 this morning, and your relationship with He Donglou was broken off. But before today, did the two of you have any contact? Do you have any understanding of Lan Lin's relationships inside and outside the company? Can you name a few of them? It would be best if they were within the circle... "
"Are you crazy!?"
Five or six questions came smashing over like a barrage of cannons, directly smashing Ji Qiong's mental defenses. She suddenly moved back, not caring about the strands of hair that were torn. The pain made her lose her composure. Emotions of fear and shame rushed to her head. Her brain heated up, and she fiercely slapped Luo Nan.
Luo Nan's fingers, which had been fiddling with his hair a moment ago, firmly grabbed Ji Qiong's wrist before her slap could reach his face. Compared to the slap, Luo Nan didn't use much strength, but the corresponding symbol of restraint and control gave Ji Qiong an excessive psychological impact.
Ji Qiong recovered a bit of her ability to think at this time, but the little bit of resources she had was invaded by fear and humiliation. Right now, Luo Nan's side was calm and callous. Manager Sha's face was stiff. Even Xiaoyou, who was in front of the elevator, turned his head to look back.
Five pairs of eyes stared directly at Ji Qiong. It was as if the bright and beautiful clothes that Ji Qiong was used to were stripped bare in an instant. The face and dignity attached to it were torn to the ground, and then they were ruthlessly trampled on.
Ji Qiong's legs went soft. She could no longer stand, but she subconsciously struggled to save herself. She faced Manager Sha, who she was most familiar with, and screamed, "He's talking nonsense! He's talking nonsense! Hurry up and call for help! Manager Sha! Hurry up and save me!"
No matter how much Ji Qiong struggled, Luo Nan's hand remained extremely steady. There was no difference between his hair and his wrist. Luo Nan tried to reason with Ji Qiong, who was excited to the point of insanity. "I know that I wasn't very polite just now, but this information cannot be hidden. Otherwise, it will cause a disaster."
Ji Qiong didn't care about a disaster. Right now, she was a hundred percent disaster. She struggled and cried, and her volume was ten streets louder than Luo Nan's.
Luo Nan frowned.
Cat Eyes coughed and reminded him, "You can ask in a more private place."
Luo Nan shook his head. "The answer must be made public. Let others hear it."
Luo Nan's gaze shifted as he spoke.
The elevator door twenty meters away had already opened. Little You, who should be running errands, did not go in. Instead, he jogged back. "Hey! You guys are going too far!"
"Little You!" Even though Manager Sha approved of Luo Nan's actions a hundred percent in his heart, he was worried that the situation would get out of control and cause an even worse accident. Therefore, he shouted at Luo Nan to stop.
Little You didn't pay attention to him at all. He ran faster and faster.
Luo Nan gazed at this young man who was filled with righteous indignation. He suddenly spoke, "Go back. Everyone mind their own business."
Little You continued to speed up. "Are you taking care of others when you do this …."
"Bang!"
The special gun barrel produced electric currents and sound disturbances. The metal bullet was accelerated by electromagnetism before it shot out. It pierced straight through Little You's shoulder, and flesh and blood splattered violently in an instant.
Little You suddenly staggered and leaned to the side. He half-knelt on the ground, groaning miserably.
"Oh no!" Manager Sha cried out in alarm. His volume was not much lower than Ji Qiong's. Half a second later, Manager Sha's screams and his thoughts were both interrupted. He did not understand at all why the situation had suddenly turned out like this.
Luo Nan grabbed the stupefied Ji Qiong with one hand while his other hand maintained a firing stance. The electromagnetic gun's muzzle moved down slightly. This time, he locked onto the vital point of Little You's back.
He Yueyin stepped forward without a sound. She used her shoulder to block the muzzle and her figure. She spoke softly.
"Get back."
At the same time she spoke, Little You's low groan came from ten meters away. His syllables gradually turned clearer. "You're really going too far …. Good genes and bad genes are handled by different groups. They're arranged well. But to run into an unreasonable target like you is really bothersome! "
Though Luo Nan's line of sight was blocked, his senses on the mental plane were more intuitive than his eyes to a certain degree. He listened to the strange sound coming from not too far away. He searched for deeper veins in the surroundings and spoke in passing.
"Am I good or bad?"
"Then you really are asking the wrong person. I'm afraid my answer isn't objective!"
Before his voice faded away, He Yueyin suddenly charged forward from above the long corridor. Luo Nan instantly expanded his field of vision, but he still could not see Little You's figure. This was because he and He Yueyin had collided together in the first instant.
It was unknown when, but a cold light flashed in He Yueyin's hand. A sharp blade tore through the air, but it did not hit its target. Instead, the shockwave of sonic boom that followed caused the corridor to distort.
The shockwave was far too fierce. The density of the air was seriously out of balance.
He Yueyin and Little You entered a state of close combat. Back at Frost River Reality, He Yueyin had used the move Kill in Ten Steps to instantly kill an Oblatum Knight of the Order of Justice, Ghost Thunder's Arc Light Blade. Unexpectedly, it was completely useless. After four consecutive collisions, the sonic boom grew higher and higher. In the end, it turned into a distorted and strange sonic boom that scraped against one's eardrums in pain.
Manager Sha and Ji Qiong fell limply to the ground. They did not even make it through the first wave of impact. It was as if a heavy fist had bombarded their ears.
"Hurry up and leave!" Cat Eyes pulled Luo Nan to retreat. His opponent's fleshly side ability was at least B rank. The aftermath of the impact possessed sufficient lethality. It was best for them, the mental side, to put some distance between them.
Luo Nan did not move. He shook his head and said, "It's over … for now."
He Yueyin returned to Luo Nan's side as soon as she finished speaking. She withdrew her Arc Light Blade, but her drooping hands were trembling slightly.
