Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 28

Nan Yue and Nan Chenghui sat facing each other in the CEO office of Nan Group.

"Dad, where is Qiao Lin? I want to see her," Nan Yue asked.

Nan Chenghui was a little nervous when Ye Chenxi mentioned Chen Xiao. His tone was not very good: "Be obedient and she will be fine."

Nan Yue stood up and said, "I do care about Qiao Lin. She has accompanied me for many years and is one of my few friends.

But what makes you think I would sacrifice my life for her?

If you don't tell me where she is, I won't continue acting in this play with you!"

Nan Chenghui revealed a smug smile and said, "What if I tell you she is your biological sister? How would you choose then?

I loved your mother, but I have to admit I made mistakes too.

I arranged for Qiao Lin to be by your side so that you sisters could accompany each other."

Nan Yue lived a lonely life since childhood. The lack of parental love made her crave affection.

So a sister carried a lot of weight.

Nan Chenghui observed the subtle changes in Nan Yue's expression.

That was enough.

He, Nan Chenghui, had been in the business world for decades and was confident handling a woman was as simple as crushing an ant.

But what he heard was, "Dad, you're so funny. Do you think blood relations are some great invention?

That as soon as they appear, people willingly become disciples?

If it was so important, would you plot against your own daughter like this?!"

Nan Chenghui's face stiffened and he was speechless for a moment.

Nan Yue went on, "Before you said she was my sister, I still cared about Qiao Lin. But from now on, she's just a competitor for the inheritance!"

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration came to Nan Chenghui's mind. He grasped the key point of Nan Yue's remarks!

No wonder she left so decisively but came back the day her bank card was frozen.

Qiao Lin was just an excuse. What Nan Yue really cared about was the property!

Of course, after 28 years of living the rich life, how could she go be poor with Qin Zhao!

Thinking he had guessed Nan Yue's mindset, Nan Chenghui laughed and said, "Good, let's not mention your sister anymore. As long as you stay, I guarantee you will be the only heir to Nan Group!"

Nan Yue didn't continue the conversation. Her goal was achieved.

Letting Nan Chenghui mistakenly think she cared about money would at least keep Qiao Lin from being used as a bargaining chip, and temporarily keep her safe.

Nan Yue's joy on her face was not obvious. It was clear she was intentionally hiding it. This further convinced Nan Chenghui of his guess.

Knock knock!

The door was knocked.

Nan Chenghui said, "Yue'er, go back first and think carefully about dad's words. As long as you obey, dad won't shortchange you."

After Nan Yue left, a bespectacled man in a suit came in and handed Nan Chenghui a tablet, saying, "Mr. Nan, that person's location has been confirmed. He's in this place called Liu Village."

He pointed to the map on the tablet screen.

Nan Chenghui looked at the flashing red dot and said solemnly, "Send someone there immediately to get rid of him on the spot. Dispose of the body cleanly."

The bespectacled man was frightened by the ruthlessness in Nan Chenghui's expression. A chill went down his spine as he replied, "Okay, Mr. Nan, I'll send someone right away!"

He turned and left.

Watching his back, Nan Chenghui was suddenly worried. What if they got the wrong person? So he called out, "Wait, I'm going too."

The bespectacled man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Everything is up to you, Mr. Nan."

...

The ride-hailing car Qin Zhao was in had gotten on the highway, still over 200 km from the destination.

She boredly looked out the window when suddenly the system said, "Host, Nan Chenghui is coming too!"

Qin Zhao's eyelid twitched but she had no other reaction.

The system was more anxious than her: "What should we do, host? The situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Both of them brought people but you're alone."

Qin Zhao yawned and replied, "It's fine, exciting. Qin Zhao wins in close quarters."

502 was blinded by Qin Zhao's confidence and said, "Okay, be careful host."

Qin Zhao patted the driver's seat. "Sister driver, can you drive faster?"

Lost in being called "sister", the driver readily agreed, "Sure!"

The car then rushed out like lightning!

The driver's skills were great, fast yet steady, not disturbing Qin Zhao's nap at all.

She fell asleep after closing her eyes for a while.

...

"Miss, miss wake up. We've arrived at Tang Mountain," the driver woke Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao opened her eyes, rubbed them and said, "Thank you, sister."

Seeing the desolate scenery outside, the driver asked worriedly, "Little girl, are you visiting family or what? Going up the mountain so late may be unsafe. Want to stay at a hotel at the foot of the mountain first?"

"Thanks for your concern. I'm going up to see an old friend and will be careful," Qin Zhao said.

Perhaps because Qin Zhao was pretty and gave a friendly vibe, the driver added, "How long will you be there? I can wait for you here."

"No need..." Qin Zhao stopped mid-sentence.

She did need a car to take someone away.

She changed her words, "Then thank you, sister."

After Qin Zhao paid the fare, she gave the driver an extra 2,000 yuan.

The driver refused at first, thinking it was too much. But after some persuasion she accepted it.

They agreed the driver would rest at a hotel first. When Qin Zhao called, she would come to pick her up.

Watching the car leave, Qin Zhao hoped inwardly the driver would keep her word.

The way up the mountain was a winding path.

The soil was loose after the recent rain, easily leaving footprints.

Qin Zhao abandoned taking that path and ran into the woods instead.

The system dutifully planned her a shortcut.

The self-defense hunting knife she brought was just right for clearing the way.

The night vision goggles she prepared earlier also came in handy, allowing her to move forward in the dark.

Using a flashlight would not only expose her location but also potentially attract wild animals.

Qin Zhao advanced steadily, trying her best to avoid being scratched by thorns.

"Host, the male lead will arrive at the mountain foot in about ten minutes," the system reported.

It then exclaimed in shock, "Host, the helicopter Nan Chenghui is in has taken off from the nearest airport!"

This meant Nan Chenghui didn't need to hike and could directly land in the mountain village where Chen Xiao was!

Qin Zhao was also surprised. She didn't expect Nan Chenghui to be in such a hurry!

"Report Nan Chenghui's movements in real time," Qin Zhao told the system.

502: "Okay."

Qin Zhao had to quicken her pace and swiftly move through the woods, no longer caring if her body got hurt.

Luckily she was wearing long sleeves and pants so the scratches wouldn't be too bad.

Half an hour later, the sky had completely darkened.

The only accompaniment in the darkness was the sound of insects and her own breathing.

In the quiet environment, the sound of clothes and plants rubbing was very clear.

Thus the soft conversation between several men easily reached Qin Zhao's ears.

She immediately dodged into the bushes!

"Is the satellite location accurate or not? Why are we getting more off track the more we walk!"

"This is the shortest route to the village. It wouldn't be off if it wasn't accurate."

"Boss, you didn't say the road was so hard to walk before you came! Gotta add more money for this, right? See..."

A familiar voice sounded. Ye Chenxi said, "As long as you complete the task, money is negotiable."

"Alright! Leave it to us three brothers. We've been wandering south and north for years and never failed!"

"Brother Two, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

The voices were getting closer to Qin Zhao. She slowed her breathing, trying her best not to let them notice her.

It wasn't that she was afraid.

This kind of unnecessary fighting would only waste time.

Her legs were a little numb from squatting. Qin Zhao gently shifted her weight from her right to left leg.

Right then, she stepped on something that let out a crack!

At the same time, an angry shout came from nearby: "Who's there!"
