Words cannot explain how frustrated Nana is at the moment. Her head was aching to the point of explosion and brain felt like it was deep fried when she thought of how slow Mei Ching was crawling earlier. Her tolerance reached the max when she saw how Mei Ching took her sweet time and even stopped to stare at the enemy's sleeping face. If it was an attractive man, then maybe she could understand even a little bit, but it was an overweight prickly mustached sleeping pig on the couch. Nana facepalmed repeatedly while feeling the urge to knock Mei Ching out so they could carry her, but reality hits hard when it's not a movie. In movies, the main characters always resolves the problem and escapes successfully, but now, she's stuck with Mei Ching in the attic trying to look for the loose brick area. If this was a movie, it'll definitely be one of the low budget planned ones.
If time could be reversed, she would go back and save Ya Nuo, but she can't. The minute Ya Nuo shoved Mei Ching to her, Nana knew that she was planning to sacrifice herself to stall them time.
'I won't let you sacrifice for nothing. Wait for me. I'll come back for you.' Nana said inwardly while knocking on different bricks.
It didn't take long for Nana to find the spot and started to pull out the bricks. Mei Ching didn't help at all and spaced out while Nana was doing all the work. If Ya Nuo didn't entrust Mei Ching to her, she would've left her and went back for Ya Nuo already. Nana looked at her bloody hands and chipped fingernails. She shook her head and pulled the last loose brick out of the wall.
"It's done. Get out." She said coldly and glared at Mei Ching with flames arising in her eyes.
After the living room incident, Nana couldn't trust Mei Ching anymore so she made her crawl out first to make sure that she wasn't distracted by something else again. Finally, they safely got out of Yang Mansion. Nana wanted to wait for Ya Nuo, but guards started patrolling around the neighborhood so she only had one option left; take Mei Ching back to her house and find help.
Nana had to drag her while running nonstop and push her into the taxi once they blended with the crowds in the streets. Nana was very exhausted and felt like she aged tremendously for the past hours. After they arrived at her house gates, the maid immediately informed everyone in the living room who was in the middle of their meeting that Nana is back.
Shi Xue called Chen Mu while Zhi Hei, Wei Wei, Zhen Qi and Huan Hei ran out to get Nana. When they got to the taxi, they paid the taxi driver for the car ride and helped Nana and Mei Ching out. Before anyone asked Nana for details, she told them where Ya Nuo is and to go help her.
Zhi Hei saw the thick bandages with dried blood on Nana's head and suggested to have her treated first, but she insisted on going back for Ya Nuo. At the end, Zhen Qi and Wei Wei managed to persuade Nana to stay home and treat her wounds while they figure out a way to rescue Ya Nuo. The reason they decided to not go back to Yang Mansion right away is because Nana is injured and they will most likely end up ruining the plan that they already had in mind if they acted rashly.
Zhi Hei noticed Huan Hei's frown and patted his shoulder, " Your plan will work. Get ready for it." Huan Hei nodded and followed them back to Huang Mansion. All along nobody really paid much attention to Mei Ching, until Nana told them who she was.
Meanwhile in Yang Mansion, Yang Qiu Rei crossed his arms and looked into Ya Nuo's determined eyes.
Yang Qiu Rei: "So? What do you think of the deal?" He said confidently because he believed that nobody in this world could deny the scent of fresh printed cash. He offered Ya Nuo a deal that if she agrees to marry the person who gave the highest benefits to him, then he will split the fortune 7:3. Of course, he is the one getting the bigger profit.
Ya Nuo: "It's too bad that you weren't born as an atm because you love cash more than anything. I don't understand you. You're already rich and married, what else do you want? People can't be too greedy or life will bite you back hard."
Yang Qiu Rei: I'm not asking for your opinion on my life and things that I do. If you go along with my plans then I will let your sweet friends live in peace. Alive. "
Ya Nuo: "Hah, and if I reject your so called best offer? What are you going to do? Hit me? Torture me? Don't forget, if any bruises or marks ends up on my body and my so called future husband sees them, he might cancel on the marriage."
Yang Qiu Rei tightened his grip as listened to her threats, "You scum!! Is this how you treat your father?! You think your little threats will really stop me or work on me?!"
His hand released the rest of the whip and he swung the whip harshly at Ya Nuo.
Her lips curved up to a cold smile, "This is what I was waiting for!"
With one hand, she caught the end of the whip and pulled it tightly with a strong grip towards her direction. Yang Qiu Rei almost lost his balance and is now pulling with two hands hoping to get the whip back.
"You!!!!! How dare you do this to your father?!!! Let go right now or-"
She cut him off, "Or what? You'll whip me like you did before? Or that you'll abuse me like the way you did all these years? Anyways, I'm here to make peace not stir more trouble. If you want to make more trouble then try me."
Yang Qiu Rei used all his strength and fell backwards with the whip flying back towards his face, "Ahhhh!!!!!!! My face!!!!! Face motherf*cking jerk!!!! My handsome flawless face!"
Ya Nuo walked to him, "Oh sorry, did that hurt? Since you liked whips so much, I figured you needed one. Let me tell you this, the greedier you get, the more pain and suffering will come your way. I'll never work with you to scheme against another's life because each life is precious."
"You useless trash!!! How dare you?!!" He repeatedly touched his face and looked at his hand to make sure that his skin didn't wasn't bleeding. While he concentrated on his face, Ya Nuo picked up the whip and was ready to collect the debt that he owed her for the years of abuse and pain he caused her.
"Didn't you care a lot about appearances? I wonder what it'll be like if your appearance is ruined and you're suffering from your worst judgement. Should we give this idea a try? You owe me."
