C271 Right Under My Nose

Hai Xiaomin's heart tightened slightly and she replied with a smile without batting an eyelid, hoping that it was her misconception. . .

"The phone is here. " Kuan Xiang walked a few steps to the bedside and took out the phone from under the pillow and handed it to Hai Xiaomin.

Hai Xiaomin took it and curiously turned it over and sized it up. "Ms Kuan, the phone you use is very special. What brand is it? It is very rare to see it on the market. "

Ms Kuan did not mind and smiled. "It is a domestic brand. Hai Xiaomin has not seen it before. It is very normal. "

"There's a lock. " Hai Xiaomin pressed on the light screen and found that there was a lock screen.

Ms Kuan came over and first entered the password and then used her fingerprint heat to unlock, "It's done. "

For most people, as long as there was a lock, it would be enough. Kuan Xiang seemed to be particularly concerned about her privacy but this was understandable as everyone had their own habits.

Hai Xiaomin took a few steps towards the balcony with her phone and hesitantly pressed a number in her heart. When she saw the number displayed, she was slightly stunned. She did not even bother to add this number as she did not expect that after looking at it many times, she could already memorize it. . .

The dial rang for a long time. No one answered that call.

Was he not beside the phone?

She made another call. This time, no one answered for a long time. Just as she was about to give up, the call was picked up. A familiar male voice came from the other end, but the tone was especially low: "Hello?"

"It's me. " Hai Xiaomin replied.

". . . "" The person on the other end was clearly stunned. After a long while, he cried out in panic, Hai Xiaomin!? Why, why are you using this number?"

Only then did Hai Xiaomin react. Previously, his tone was suppressed so low, but in reality, he was nervous.

Of course, it could not be a random unfamiliar phone number that could make Du Qing nervous to this extent. It could make him wait and be ready for battle.

"Because. . . " From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ms Kuan who was waiting for her in the room. Hai Xiaomin looked at the sky in melancholy and her heart was hard to describe, "I am now with the owner of this number. "

"You must leave that place immediately!" Du Qing's tone was like ice as he tried his best to suppress his surging emotions.

Hai Xiaomin hung up the phone and stood on the balcony without moving for a long time. She needed to adjust her complicated emotions.

"Are you done calling?" Kuan Xiang walked towards her with a profound smile on her face.

"Yes, thank you. " Hai Xiaomin turned around and prepared to return the phone to Kuan Xiang. At this moment, another ringtone sounded from her body - Kuan Xiang's phone settings, apart from a few special numbers, rejected all calls. Du Qing could not get through to this number and called Hai Xiaomin's phone again.

The two women seemed to have stopped and only the ringtone could be heard in the room.

Kuan Xiang stopped walking forward to pick up the phone and stood where she was. She looked at Hai Xiaomin and revealed a cold smile that could see through her disguise.

At this moment, there was no longer any need to continue pretending.

"Ms Kuan, is it really you?" Hai Xiaomin stared at the woman in front of her and knitted her brows tightly. There was a look of confusion in her eyes. The spy of LY and the higher ups of the drug lords were actually right under her nose!

If she had told Ling Yao about the incident when she first found out about it, would it not have been the case where the LY was involved in the drug case and Ling Yao was taken away by the police for investigation?

"Didn't you confirm it?" Ms Kuan's cold gaze swept across the phone in Hai Xiaomin's hand. From the moment the other party requested to borrow her phone, she had already guessed the other party's intention.

Hai Xiaomin swallowed her saliva and felt that her mouth was somewhat dry. Her palms were covered in cold sweat. If living in the same room with such a dangerous person was not enough to make her vigilant, then the other party's fearless attitude was enough for her to feel that something was wrong.

Hai Xiaomin suddenly turned around and rushed towards the door!

Kuan Xiang had already expected this and chased after. She flipped her over with great force and crossed her arms. She placed her hand on the door handle and guarded the only exit to leave the room.

"Since you know that you should not know, do you think I will let you leave alive?" Kuan Xiang's pretty face was as cold as ice. She said coldly, revealing a completely different aura from usual. It was the bloodthirsty side of a drug lord who licked blood on the tip of a knife.

Yes, from the moment she agreed to Hai Xiaomin's request to borrow her phone, she was already mentally prepared to expose herself. And the only chance Hai Xiaomin had to leave unharmed was before she entered this room!2

Unfortunately, she missed it.

"Ms Kuan!" Hai Xiaomin's small face was pale and her breathing was heavy. She tried her best to remain calm and deal with the other party, "You have already been exposed. This is Star Gazing Manor and you should know who I am. Do you think that you will be able to escape if I disappear?"

Even if it was just to stall for time and make the other party hesitate to kill her, it was still a rare opportunity for her!

"But even if I let you go, I won't be able to escape either. " Kuan Xiang did not know that she pulled out a cold dagger from behind her waist and approached Hai Xiaomin step by step. Her face was as calm as a demon. She had only seen that kind of calmness on Ling Yao and Jess's faces.

"Ms Kuan, don't be stubborn. You have made a mistake again and again. Killing me won't do you any good. It will only force you to have no way to retreat!"

Hai Xiaomin stepped back step by step but in such a small room, where could she retreat to? The other party had already shown his knife and there was no benefit in fighting head on. She could only use soft, emotional and reasonable methods to try to convince the other party.

"I know very well what kind of punishment I will face for committing a crime. Even if it is not a death sentence, I am afraid that I will only be able to live in prison for the rest of my life. Killing you or not killing you is actually not a loss to me. " Kuan Xiang's voice paused and she stopped walking, "Why don't we make a deal?"

. . . "What deal?"

Was she trying to use letting her go as a bargaining chip in exchange for keeping her mouth shut about what happened today so that the other party would have enough time to escape?

Kuan Xiang opened her mouth and was just about to make a sound when suddenly there was a bang and the balcony glass shattered. Hai Xiaomin softly cried out and before she could react, she saw Kuan Xiang clutching her right shoulder and fell to the ground in pain!

Between her fingers, blood flowed like a fountain.

What happened?

Hai Xiaomin's face was pale as she looked at the scene in front of her.

Immediately after, the door was violently knocked open and two fully armed special police rushed in. "Police! Don't move! Squat down! Hold your hands behind your head!"

Hai Xiaomin's heart was filled with fear. She raised her hand and was about to do as she was told. At this moment, a lone figure broke through the formation of the special police and rushed in. He nervously grabbed Hai Xiaomin's shoulders and shot her up and down. "Are you alright? Ah?"

"Du, Du Qing. . . " Hai Xiaomin widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him, still in a state of shock.

Seeing that there were no traces of injuries on her body, Du Qing hugged her and let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear. "It's alright, it's good that you're alright. . . "

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, suddenly, he heard Hai Xiaomin's cold voice by his ear. "Why did you come?"

Or should she ask why he came in such a timely manner?

Du Qing's heart tightened again.
