"The elevator is broken," Xiao He said expressionlessly.
"Oh..."
Xia Xiaonuan took a couple more steps with him, feeling something was off.
She turned around to leave, but the man rushed forward, grabbed her neck from behind, and pressed a knife to her throat. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Mrs. Nangong, you are really lucky. Since you're here, come with me!"
Saying this, the man began to lead Xia Xiaonuan downstairs.
But after only a few steps, a group of bodyguards came charging up.
"Let her go!" One of the bodyguards pointed a gun at him and said.
"She is my safety guarantee; do you think I would let her go?" Xiao He smiled insidiously. "Put the gun down!"
...
Qin Yi was walking towards Xiao He's office with Nangong Yaoling when his phone suddenly rang.
"What?" Qin Yi's face changed as he listened to the other end. "Where are you? We're coming over immediately! Don't let him hurt the young lady!"
Qin Yi hung up the phone after speaking.
