Qiao Nian blinked, and struck out as fast as lightning, swinging his hand and slashing across the side of Dowell's neck. Before Dowell opened his eyes wide and fell into a coma, he said in a slightly apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't poison you."
Dowell: “…”
Before he could say anything, he fell straight down.
This time, Qiao Nian dragged the man to the last compartment with ease, and used some small tools to lock the compartment from the outside. The people outside could not push the door open, and he could go out by himself when he woke up.
…
upstairs.
Ye Wangchuan was flipping through the numerous documents on the bookshelf.
He pulled out a cowhide bag with his slender hands, untied the knot that sealed it, took out the document inside and looked down.
It contains a confidential document recording major events that occurred during 2005.
He quickly scanned the general content, then sealed the document and put it back in its original place, then took out the next file bag. He looked through about 20 file bags in this way, but still didn't find what he was looking for.
Just as he was opening the latest document, the door lock clicked open.
Ye Wangchuan raised his head and saw the woman coming in from outside.
Elena's long hair was curled into romantic waves and draped on the side, revealing her slender neck, high nose bridge, and a pair of brown eyes with curled eyelashes, bright and charming.
She pushed the door open and walked in naturally. She stopped when she reached Ye Wangchuan. Noticing the man's cold gaze, Elena lifted her hair.
"Aunt Lan asked me to find you."
Ye Wangchuan lowered his eyes and continued to look at the document in his hand, acting as if she did not exist, and was extremely indifferent and ignored.
"..." Elena's self-esteem was hurt, and her clenched fingers turned a little blue due to excessive force. She immediately adjusted her mentality and spoke to the other party again as if talking to herself: "Aunt Lan said that what you are looking for is in the next room." The man finally responded.
Ye Wangchuan paused while flipping through the documents. His hands were like carefully carved jade, with distinct knuckles and smooth skin, and every detail showed elegance and strength.
Elena was attracted by his hand and couldn't help but look at it.
Before she could see clearly.
Ye Wangchuan seemed to notice her gaze. He closed the papers in his hand, stuffed them all into the file bag and sealed it back.
Then he looked at her straight in the eye: "You know what I'm looking for?"
Elena shook her head: "I don't know."
"But Aunt Lan asked me to tell you, and you are the protagonist tonight, and you have been away for too long. In fact, no matter what you are looking for, there is no need to rush. You can go down and get to know everyone first... You should meet Grandma Ying and my aunt, and greet them as elders. They will be your helpers in the future, not your enemies."
Ye Wangchuan interrupted, "Are you done? You can leave now."
Elena's fair face flushed red, and she pinched her palm and clenched it tightly to stimulate her reason. Her eyes, which looked like Qiao Nian's, stared at the man in front of her without blinking, and said forcefully: "Young Master Ye, as long as you still want the Seron family, the marriage between our two families is imperative!"
Ye Wangchuan turned his back to her and took out a new file bag from a row of bookshelves. He said indifferently, "Go out and close the door."
Snapped-
An invisible slapping sound came from the air, slapping Elena loudly in the face.
No matter how much she was interested in this man, her years of proud upbringing would not allow her to stay here and pester him. (End of this chapter)
