Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Zhou Nan withdrew his gaze from the scrutinizing figure and looked at Li Lian, "What happened?"

"These people were trying to kidnap Dr. Lan. I don't know who instructed them, but they spared one of his lives, and they're about to take him back for interrogation."

Li Lian kicked the unconscious man lying on the ground, signaling to Zhou Nan.

"hijack?"

"It seems someone has become suspicious of His Highness's legs."

Li Lian was about to step forward and lift the man up when he suddenly staggered two steps, seemingly quite seriously injured.

Zhou Nan helped the man up, glanced at his injuries, and said, "Let me do it."

He bent down, exerted force with his arm, and just as he lifted the person on the ground, with a hiss, a dagger pierced through his side, leaving only his hand outside. His hand loosened its grip, and he didn't have time to pull the knife out, so he could only raise his elbow to attack. Li Lian blocked with his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger spun inside his body before being quickly pulled out and slashed across his neck.

Zhou Nan collapsed to the ground, clutching the wound on his neck with one hand, staring at the expressionless person before him with utter disbelief. "Why?"

His voice was muffled due to a ruptured trachea, but Li Lian could guess what he wanted to say and didn't answer. Li Lian kicked the man aside and threw the assassin into the carriage himself.

Blood gushed out, and his breath grew weaker. Once it was confirmed that Zhou Nan was no longer alive, Li Lian looked at Jiang Heng and said, "This man has become suspicious; we can't keep him alive."

Jiang Heng nodded; Zhou Nan's gaze had already explained everything. Just then, the sound of hooves approached. Thinking the newcomers were the same group from before, the two quickly turned to be on guard. They saw the person they hadn't seen for several days riding the lead black horse.

Jiang Heng hurried forward, and Dong Tinglan tightened the reins and dismounted. Jiang Heng wanted to throw herself into his arms, but thinking about her current appearance, which was somewhat embarrassing, she stood still. Unexpectedly, Dong Tinglan stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace.

Only after confirming with his own eyes that Jiang Heng was alright did his anxiety subside slightly. Heaven knows how panicked he was when he heard the guards say that Jiang Heng had left the city and was being followed. Although he knew that Jiang Heng had many ways to protect herself, what if something happened?

"Alright, alright, I'm fine." Jiang Heng gently patted his back. "There are still some things to resolve."

Dong Tinglan finally released him, but his hand remained tightly clenched. Jiang Heng tried to break free but couldn't. Seriously, doesn't he consider how others perceive this?

Li Lian stared in shock as the two embraced and held hands, dumbfounded and somewhat at a loss. His master and Doctor Lan were actually... Never mind, he refused to think any further.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Heng didn't argue. He had no intention of revealing his disguise to Li Lian.

"master."

When he came to his senses, Li Lian stepped forward to bow to Dong Tinglan, but was stopped by him.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years."

“It’s not bitter, it’s all worth it.” Li Lian looked into the carriage. “These people intended to take Lan, Doctor Lan, hostage. They left one alive. Should we hand him over to you for disposal?”

“I’ve taken him away. When I get back, I’ll tell Dongling Yu that Lan Heng has been kidnapped. He’ll find out the rest himself.”

Li Lian didn't ask why. He picked up the dagger beside him and slashed himself several times with his backhand. Dong Tinglan gave him an approving look, and he smiled slightly, but quickly suppressed it.

The guards behind Dong Tinglan dragged the person out of the carriage, and Jiang Heng handed him a packet of medicine powder, "Let him smell it, it will make him faint more completely."

Without saying a word, the guard stepped forward, took the package, opened it, and held it under the man's nose. Sure enough, the man's breathing became longer and more even.

Dong Tinglan gave Li Lian a few more instructions, then led Jiang Heng to his horse and said, "Get on."

Jiang Heng mounted the horse. Once he was settled, Dong Tinglan took off his outer robe and handed it to Jiang Heng before mounting behind him.

Seeing this, the other guards also mounted their horses.

“Cover your face. From now on, there will be no Lan Heng in this world.”

Jiang Heng sensed the coldness in the other person's words and felt a pang of guilt. She obediently pulled her outer robe over her head; the robe was so large it almost completely covered her body. Dong Tinglan curled his lips into a smile; he was behaving himself now.

Before leaving, Dong Tinglan looked at Li Lian and said in a gentle and sincere tone, "Li Lian, take care of yourself. We'll wait for you to come back."

Li Lian's eyes reddened, he nodded vigorously, then looked at the other brothers on horseback, grinned, waved to them, and stepped aside to watch the group leave.

Through the gap in his outer robe, Jiang Heng saw the unrestrained smile on Li Lian's face; his eyes shone brightly in the sunlight. So this was his true self, not the always cold-faced guard Li.

As the horse picked up speed, Jiang Heng felt a bit uncomfortable from the jolting. She grabbed Dong Tinglan's arm for support and slowly adjusted her posture. She thought she heard a muffled groan from above, but it was carried away by the wind and not very clear.

He continued to shift his position, when suddenly his waist tightened. In his line of sight, he saw Dong Tinglan's hand with bulging veins. He couldn't help but trace the veins with one finger, and his waist movements became even more intense.

Through his robes, Dong Tinglan leaned close to his ear and said, "Young Master, don't provoke me here."

Jiang Heng was puzzled, then suddenly realized. A blush rose to the tips of his ears, then he moved back a few steps. Feeling the breathing behind him deepen, he smiled mischievously and nestled into the other person's arms without moving.

Dong Tinglan lowered his eyes to examine the person in his arms, his gaze dark and unfathomable. Did the young prince think he was too easy to bully? He chuckled softly, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped even faster.

886 looked at the two of them with a satisfied expression. How could this not be considered horseback riding play?

After dismounting, Jiang Heng lifted her outer robe and saw that they had not returned to the prince's residence, but had arrived at an unfamiliar place.

"This is where?"

“A private residence of Mo Wu.”

Dong Tinglan led the person to a courtyard and asked someone to prepare clothes and hot water. After the fight in the suburbs, Jiang Heng was covered in dust.

While waiting for the hot water, Jiang Heng turned his back to Dong Tinglan and pretended to wash off the disguise on his face with water. After all, it was inconvenient for him to get close to Dong Tinglan with his current face, as it would be unsightly.

Once Jiang Heng had returned to normal, he snuggled up to Dong Tinglan, almost squeezing him off the bed. Dong Tinglan was amused by his antics and pulled him onto his lap, not caring that his clothes were covered in dust. He'd have to wash them anyway.

Jiang Heng really liked her current sitting posture; with her arms around his neck, she could easily rest her head on his shoulder with just a slight tilt of her head. In every sense of the word.

As darkness fell, Jiang Heng was released. He regretted it; he shouldn't have provoked Dong Tinglan so much on horseback. He felt like he was soaking wet. If 886 hadn't been locked up in the dark room and heard Jiang Heng's thoughts, it would have added for him: "You'll dare to do it again next time."

Dong Tinglan gently patted his back until he recovered. Suddenly, his gaze swept over the loose hairband on his head. Thinking that others had been tying Jiang Heng's hair for the past few days, his brows furrowed. He tore the hairband off and threw it on the ground, then rolled over and pressed it down.

Jiang Heng didn't understand why Dong Tinglan had suddenly turned against her again until she finally fell asleep. She had clearly said that this was the end of the day.
