The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Action

After finally coaxing Lu Qingrang, who was crying so hard that his eyes were red and the tip of his nose was red, like a beautiful cat that had been wronged, Xu Wen felt uncomfortable all over because of the panic of running away and the tense nerves. After settling Lu Qingrang, he hurriedly got into the small bathroom.

The warm water washed away the dirt and fatigue, but it could not completely wash away the remaining fear in my heart.

Xu Wen walked out of the bathroom with steaming heat and water vapor all over his body. While stroking his wet hair with a towel, he said habitually, with a thought-provoking tone: “I’ll go out again in the evening.”

When he finished speaking, he didn’t get the expected response.

Lu Qingrang sat quietly by the bed, as if he didn’t hear the second half of his announcement of being alone. He just raised his peach blossom eyes that had just been washed by tears and looked particularly moist. His gaze fell on Xu Wen’s gauze-wrapped hand and asked softly: “Did your hand touch the water?”

“Ah? Oh, no, I’m paying attention.” Xu Wen replied subconsciously, and then brought the topic back to his own track, his tone still a little nonchalant, “I have to go and do some business, get an ID card and a phone card.” He paused, and then added: “When I ran back, I happened to see a store that seemed to be able to do this. I went to explore.”

Lu Qingrang still didn’t speak or stop him.He just turned his head slightly and looked at Xu Wen quietly and momentarily with his beautiful eyes.

“…”

Xu Wen was a little confused by this silent and stubborn gaze, and all the prepared words of “Stay behind if there is danger outside” were stuck in his throat.

He opened his mouth, wanting to struggle again, but Lu Qingrang’s watery eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all his thoughts, clearly reflecting the attempts in his heart to get through.

It’s over, I can’t get past it.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face after being seen through, and he raised his hand to touch the back of his neck unnaturally. The original disapproving aura was instantly released.

He sighed, with a bit of helplessness, mixed with resignation and compromise, and changed his words:

“Uh… okay, I got it.” He avoided Lu Qingrang’s gaze and said in a dry tone, “… let’s go together.”

Hearing these words, Lu Qing let the invisible layer of persistence in his eyes melt away like ice and snow, tinged with a faint warmth.

“Yes.” He responded in a low voice, stood up, took the initiative to walk to Xu Wen, took the towel that had been used indiscriminately in his hand, and gently wiped his hair that was still dripping with water. His fingertips occasionally brushed the ends of his hair inadvertently, with a kind of silent comfort and confirmation.

Xu Wen stiffened his neck and felt the gentle force on his head. The slight irritation in his heart caused by the interruption of his plan also quietly dissipated in this silent warmth.

“Sit down and let me blow dry you.” Lu Qingrang’s voice was gentle but unquestionable. He gently pushed him to the bed and sat down. He turned around and took out the old hair dryer from the drawer.

Xu Wen was a little confused and a little surprised.He looked at Lu Qingrang plugging in the power and adjusting the wind power, and he muttered secretly in his heart: “The hard life is not in vain, the porcelain doll knows how to hurt people…” The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly.

“Hey, I’ll thank Brother Lu first!” He responded with a playful smile, lowered his head in cooperation, and leaned his head obediently.

Lu Qingrang ignored his talk, and just gently played with his half-dried hair with her slender fingers.

A buzzing noise sounded in the small room, and the warm wind flowed over his scalp, dispersing the humidity brought by the bathroom, and seemed to have blown away a little of all the previous fears, arguments, and tears.

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes comfortably, like a large dog with a smooth coat.

—————

On the other side of the city, on the top floor of the skyscraper that overlooked everyone, the atmosphere was extremely cold.

Nangong Chen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Next to the expensive Italian handmade leather shoes, there was a custom-made mobile phone that had been smashed into pieces.He had just received a frightened report from his subordinate and had lost track of him.In that dark alley where fish and dragons were mixed, he lost his trace.

“Trash!”

A low growl of suppressed rage was squeezed out from between his teeth, echoing in the empty and luxurious office.He turned around suddenly, his eyes scanning sinisterly at the men in black who were in front of him with their heads lowered and afraid to speak out.

“Two big living people!One is a piece of trash that was knocked into the mud, and the other is a kid who appears out of nowhere!Nangong Chen’s voice was not high, but it was filled with a biting chill, “My people were used on my territory, and you told me that they entered a dark alley and then disappeared?””

He walked slowly up to the leader and looked down at the other person’s body that was trembling slightly with fear.

“So, it’s me, Nangong Chen, who has raised a bunch of losers who can’t even catch loaches?Or is there someone in the dark alley who dares to guarantee me?He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowered, full of threats, “Give me an explanation that will allow me to remain patient.””

“Chen, Master Chen…” The leader was sweating coldly, “Our people are following closely, but it’s too chaotic inside. They… they seem to be very familiar with the terrain. After turning a few corners, we are already checking the surveillance, and we have also arranged people to guard a few exits…”

“Monitoring?”Nangong Chen seemed to have heard some big joke, and the corner of his mouth raised a cruel arc, “Surveillance in that kind of place?Did you think of it on your knees?!”

He straightened up, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying his best to control the urge to smash the men as well.

Lu Qing asked the ant to be thrown into hell with his own hands, and the ant that was supposed to disappear silently actually ran away!And with a helper of unknown origin!For him, this is an absolute shame and a majestic provocation!

What made him even more inexplicably irritated was that, based on the fragmentary information, the boy named Xu Wen seemed to be defending Lu Qingrang in an almost stupid way.What is the relationship between them?

This feeling of being out of control made him extremely uncomfortable, and there was even a hint of offended jealousy that even he didn’t want to admit.

“Get out.He turned his back and his voice returned to a cold calmness, but it was even more frightening than the rage just now. “Use all available resources and dig three feet into the ground to dig them out.”Especially that Xu Wen… I want to know all the details about him.”

“yes!Mr. Chen!”The subordinates almost rolled out of the office as if they had been granted amnesty.

Nangong Chen turned his gaze again to the bright but cold city night view outside the window, and his gloomy and twisted face at the moment was vaguely reflected on the glass.

“Lu Qingrang…” He whispered the name with disgust and cruelty, “Do you think you can escape?And that kid who doesn’t know how to live or die.”

He picked up the intercom phone on his desk and connected to another number. His tone was an unquestionable command:

“Get me the Darknet guy.Price is not an issue, I want the fastest results.”

After hanging up the phone, the last trace of warmth in his eyes disappeared.The hunt has just begun.And this hunt, because of the successful escape of the prey and the nameless evil fire in his heart, is destined to be more cruel and unscrupulous.
