[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Jiang Zhao woke up from his coma and nudged Bai Lan, who was still unconscious: "Wake up, Lan, wake up."

Bai Lan slowly awoke from her coma, only to find desolation and the wreckage of cars all around her.

Looking at the large truck still billowing black smoke beside her, she rubbed her forehead, which was still a little dizzy from the impact, and asked, "What happened? Who attacked us?"

Jiang Zhao shook his head, unable to think of anyone who would attack them.

He hadn't seen a single important person since he woke up: "Where's that male concubine?"

Bai Lan narrowed her eyes and looked around with Jiang Zhao, seeing that the overturned car was not in the cage.

"Did he get away?"

She stood up and was about to go look for it when she was pulled to the ground.

Bai Lan then realized that she was locked up. She looked down at herself and found that she had been kicked. It must have been the work of that male concubine.

She said bitterly, "They got away. Damn it."

Jiang Zhao seemed to be trying to be rational and even tried to persuade Bai Lan not to be so anxious, but when he discovered that his pants were gone, he lost all rationality.

His expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

Bai Lan noticed this and asked hesitantly, with a hint of disbelief, "Where...where are your pants?"

Jiang Zhao said through gritted teeth, his face dark, "It must have been done by his male concubine."

Bai Lan frowned: "If I see him again, I will definitely beat him to death."

At this moment, the car, which was emitting black smoke, suddenly caught fire somewhere, and the flames suddenly flared up.

The two were quite frightened. Jiang Zhao said anxiously, "Get away from here quickly, or this place might explode in a moment."

Bai Lan nodded blankly, then subconsciously groped her body for the key to the chain.

Jiang Zhao said, "Don't bother looking for it, that brat must have thrown it away."

As he spoke, he went to untangle the chain that was tangled up. While struggling to untangle it, he said to Bai Lan, "Untangle the chain first, and then we'll remove the shackles when we get back to Alan."

Bai Lan quickly got to work, but the flames rose higher and higher, making her a little anxious.

At the critical moment, the two finally managed to untie themselves and ran together, their reaction speed was incredibly fast.

But then the car exploded.

Bai Lan bravely shielded Jiang Zhao, who wasn't wearing pants, with her body.

The heatwave from the explosion knocked both people over, leaving them both injured to varying degrees, but fortunately, no vital organs were damaged.

Bai Lan protected Jiang Zhao's head, while keeping her own eyes tightly closed.

After everything had completely stopped, Jiang Zhao crawled out of Bai Lan's arms, looked Bai Lan over, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Bai Lan said, "It's nothing."

The two helped each other up.

Based on his grim expression, Jiang Zhao guessed who was behind it. He then said to Bai Lan, "I'm afraid our scheme has already been exposed by Cangming."

"We need to be prepared to go head-to-head with her."

Bai Lan patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder and said optimistically, "It's okay, we might not be able to beat her."

“She’s been at the top for a long time. It’s time to pull her down.”

Jiang Zhao was greatly encouraged and said, "Yes, I believe you can do it."

Then, looking at his bare lower body, he said with concern, "How am I supposed to get back like this?"

Bai Lan thought for a moment, then took off her own coat and Jiang Zhao's shirt, wrapping them around him from front to back, saying, "This will cover you up for now."

Jiang Zhao's shrewd, narrow eyes were filled with helplessness: "This is the only way."

Bai Lan used her communication device to send a message to Ya Lan, asking someone to come and pick them up.

The two walked towards Aran, thinking they would eventually run into them, but they didn't see anyone who came to rescue them until they reached Aran.

Jiang Zhao sensed something was wrong and tried to pull Bai Lan away, but the guards discovered them.

They were being held at gunpoint.

Bai Lan was furious. She was already angry because she had walked all the way here, and now her own underlings were pointing a gun at her.

He rushed forward, intending to beat the person to the ground, while cursing, "Do you want to die?"

Jiang Zhao stopped her, telling her not to act rashly, because they were unarmed and even if they were skilled in martial arts, they were still afraid of someone with a gun.

The guards ignored their angry stares.

They simply pushed the two of them inside, realizing they couldn't escape, and could only deal with the situation as it came.

They were chained together, so the guards didn't need to put any more chains on them.

The circular fortress had its tent flaps opened on both sides, revealing Chen Siqi standing outside.

A dark light flashed in Jiang Zhao's eyes as he said, "It really is you."

Chen Siqi smiled and gestured for them to come inside. Bai Lan, however, only wanted to slap his fake face, but Jiang Zhao stopped her firmly.

And then there were people behind them holding guns and pushing them inside.

When Bai Lan entered, she found someone sitting on her throne.

Bai Lan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she said, her lips almost biting raw, "Ruan Qian'an!"

He propped his chin on his hand, crossed his legs, and looked at them with a half-smile, saying indifferently, "Not dead?"

He said with a sigh, "She's very lucky to be alive."

Jiang Zhao stared straight at Ruan Qian'an, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Cangming, for sparing my life."

Jiang Zhao probably knew that he and Bai Lan were able to survive thanks to that male concubine. He also said this to mock Ruan Qian'an, who was willing to use even someone with whom she had physical intimacy in order to achieve her own goals.

Ruan Qian'an chuckled, her clear voice as melodious as a silver bell, showing no sign of being offended.

Jiang Zhao thought that his boss was using Huo Jingmo to take them down, but that wasn't the case. Ruan Qian'an was using them to humiliate Huo Jingmo, and they were just dealt with incidentally.

Normally, the boss wouldn't bother dealing with these overconfident people himself.

Jiang Zhao thought Ruan Qian'an just wanted to give them a warning, so he tried to save face by saying, "Lord Cangming, it's a bit impolite of you to come here, but it is indeed our fault for being so negligent. So please wait a moment while we prepare your meal."

Ruan Qian'an, propping her cheek up with her hand, said, "Still pretending to be stupid."

Ruan Qian'an stood up and descended the steps from her high seat, asking, "Where are my people?"

Jiang Zhao took a step back, speechless. He knew that Cangming didn't just want to warn them, but wanted to take their lives.

Ruan Qian'an's smile widened as she looked at Jiang Zhao and Bai Lan and said, "Is it alright for me to come in and look around?"

Bai Lan looked at Jiang Zhao, whose face was pale, and stared fiercely at Ruan Qian'an: "You won, I admit defeat."

Ruan Qian'an, as if she had heard something amusing, said, "Admit defeat? How do you intend to admit defeat?"

Bai Lan: "This place is yours. Let us go. We won't fight you for anything."

Ruan Qian'an shook her index finger: "No, no."

"What bargaining chips do you have to make demands of me now? And why should I let you go?"

Bai Lan was about to say something when Ruan Qian'an raised her hand to interrupt her.

Ruan Qian'an picked up her phone and looked at it.

Then, without even glancing at Bai Lan and Jiang Zhao, he walked outside.

He said to Chen Siqi, "These two are your responsibility. The boss wants me to go there ahead of time."

Chen Si frowned: "What happened, Kun?"

Ruan Qian'an said, "It's a secret."

Then he walked straight away.
