Chapter 922 - A Close Call (1/2)

Shangguan Wan stared at the figure standing beside the bed. Her heart was beating faster now, as she was utterly flabbergasted. “Bo Yan? Are you really Bo Yan?”

The man nodded.

He knew that Shangguan Wan must be very shocked to see him come back to life.

However, he didn’t have time to explain too much to her and he hurriedly took out a security uniform that was the same as he was wearing. “Is your leg alright? Can you endure the pain and walk out with me?”

Seeing that Bo Yan was speaking, his att.i.tude and tone the same as a normal person, Shangguan Wan did not let her mind wander, only nodding in response to his question. “I can endure it!”

She was a soldier, and had a determination that normal people didn’t have. She wasn’t even afraid of dying, not to mention enduring the pain in her leg and walking!

“Good. Go and change quickly and leave with me.” When Bo Yan was done speaking, he left the bedroom to go to the living room.

Shangguan Wan knew there was not much time. Pulling off her robes, she changed as quickly as she could, before she tied her hair up and wore the hat.

Seeing that Shangguan Wan was done, Bo Yan said, “There’s a car here that will go out to the shops every week. I’ve already arranged for the driver to be one of our men. I’ll bring you there later and you leave with the car.”

Shangguan Wan was very confused, but she held onto the urge to ask anything. She merely said, “Alright.”

Her current condition was not suitable to fight with them. Staying here would only burden them.

It was clear that Bo Yan was already familiar with the place as he led Shangguan Wan out of the castle from the back door.

The two of them walked one after another. It was already late at night, so it was rather quiet around them.

After they walked out from the back door and was about to go into a small alley, a deep and energetic voice trailed over suddenly. “Stop there!”

Shangguan Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

This voice sounded like that of the main butler!

The main butler had woken up from his sleep. Now that he was older, he slept less, so he went to walk around. He didn’t expect to see two figures at the back door.

Bo Yan and Shangguan Wan appeared to be very calm, their backs upright.

“What are the two of you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Bo Yan lowered his voice as he said, “On patrol.”

The main butler walked towards them, his furrowed eyebrows easing when he saw that they were wearing the base’s security uniform. “There are twelve people on the patrol team, why are there only you two?”

The main butler was getting closer to them.

Shangguan Wan’s hands that were resting by her side slowly clenched into fists.

“Turn around, the two of you!”

Bo Yan turned around first, looking down as he made a hand gesture to Shangguan Wan.

Shangguan Wan immediately moved away and Bo Yan took out a silenced gun from his waist, aiming it accurately at the main butler.

The two of them worked together to tie the main butler up, pus.h.i.+ng something into his mouth to silence him before they threw him in some quiet corner.

When they were done, Bo Yan noted that Shangguan Wan’s face was a little pale, and he asked quietly, “Are you okay?”

“I can still hold on.”

Bo Yan nodded as he brought Shangguan Wan to a large lorry hurriedly.

“Leave quickly and don’t turn back!”

Shangguan Wan sat on the car as directed. Staring at Bo Yan, who was bracing himself for a fight, she asked with furrowed eyebrows, “All of you have to come back safe!”

Bo Yan nodded.

The lorry started its engine. Shangguan Wan poked her head out of the window. Staring at Bo Yan’s straight figure, she thought about Ye Yanfeng. Countless scenes flashed in her mind and her eyes were slowly covered with a layer of moisture. Her lips trembled, before she said two more words to Bo Yan. “Him too.”

The vehicle slowly drove away.

Shangguan Wan’s tears that were swirling in her eyes finally fell as her eyes fluttered shut.
