Chapter 437
As soon as she returned to the villa, the feeling of her plan falling apart at the last minute made Qian Ying so mad she almost slammed the table. She fixed Ning Qi with a dissatisfied look and said: "If it weren’t for you arriving late, Qian Ye would have been captured by now. But now, he has escaped."
Ning Qi lowered her head on one side, she did not dare to meet Qian Ying’s eyes. She was shivering slightly. She didn’t want things to end up like this either, but Gu Fan was just too crafty.
Qian Ying took several deep breaths to suppress her dissatisfaction, before saying: "Twice, twice that little girl has ruined my plans. Do you know who she is?"
At this, Ning Qi shook her head. She did not recall Gu Fan having a young girl among his companions.
"It doesn’t matter. The priority now is for you, Ning Qi, to immediately move the other two sleeping pods," Qian Ying grew a bit worried, her unease growing. "After two such encounters, Second Elder Sister must have wised up. She might even take the initiative to confront me. We have to be extra careful from now on."
Ning Qi nodded: "I understand. I will send people to investigate Gu Fan’s movements right away," she said, before setting off into action.
In the past, Qian Ying would have harshly punished such an incompetent subordinate, but things were different now. With manpower critically short, Qian Ying still had many uses for Ning Qi and couldn’t offend her too much.
Ning Qi hadn’t left for long when Qian Ying began to feel sleepy. Confident she hadn’t been followed, she decided to go to bed early.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when she was jolted awake from a deep sleep. Feeling refreshed, she even stretched lazily, but was shocked by the sudden voice: "You’re finally awake."
