The two exchanged glances and decided to go along with it.
A bodyguard emerged from the car ahead, tall, imposing, and with a serious expression.
He approached Xu Qian's car and tapped on her window.
Xu Qian, her expression unwavering, pressed the button to lower the window.
She tilted her chin slightly, mimicking the tone of the heavily made-up woman, and asked, "What is it?"
The bodyguard replied impassively, "Miss Shan, Young Master Lian requests your presence."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. Young Master Lian?
Few people were surnamed Lian, especially within the X Group.
Xu Qian had a vivid impression of him; he was not bad-looking, but he was heartless.
He was a high-ranking official in the X Group!
This was a trip she had to make.
Xu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly and said coquettishly, "I'm not going."
The bodyguard sneered, "It's not up to you to decide. We've already spoken to your father, and he is in full agreement."
Xu Qian's expression turned cold. No wonder they followed her back to District F; they had to inform her father before apprehending someone.
It seemed this Shan Keke held some sway.
Xu Qian looked up at him, her tone incredibly arrogant, "I'll go, but I'm bringing him along."
The bodyguard's expression contorted. She wanted to go see another man and bring her own man?
This cuckold was firmly established.
The bodyguard directly refused, "No, Young Master Lian specifically requested only you. If Miss Shan refuses, don't blame us for using force."
Following her to District F was already giving her father face. Now that her father agreed, there was no need to consider him.
Xu Qian's eyebrows shot up, and she yelled, "If I can't bring him, I won't go! You can't force me, I'll kill myself! See how you explain that to Young Master Lian!"
The bodyguard was rendered speechless by the defiant tomboy and finally agreed.
They could find a place to detain her later; after all, it was Young Master Lian's task.
No one dared to let this matter go awry.
No one wanted to bear Lian Du's wrath.
Seeing his agreement, the two exchanged glances and nodded.
Xu Qian's lips curled into a slight smile, and she suddenly flung open the door.
*Slam*
The door hit the bodyguard's thigh.
The bodyguard yelped in pain and couldn't help but glare at her.
A tomboy was still a tomboy. The person in charge of District F was like an ant that could be crushed at any moment in Young Master Lian's eyes.
"Miss Shan, please."
The two got into the same black car and began to head back.
Xu Qian expected them to return to District A, but to her surprise, the convoy stopped in front of a large prison in District C.
Two prominent characters were clearly written on it.
Prison.
The prison gate was very high, almost four stories tall. There wasn't a gap in the massive door; it was sealed shut.
The bodyguard exchanged greetings with the gatekeeper.
Only a small door at the bottom of the main gate opened, just wide enough to enter.
Their hands clasped tightly, Xu Qian could feel Xiang Jintian's hand was clammy with sweat; he was very nervous.
She gently patted the back of his hand with her other hand, offering reassurance.
Xiang Jintian knew she had many ways to protect herself, but he was still worried.
Who knew what they would do?
The bodyguard glanced at the two clinging to each other.
"Alright, I'll take you to see Young Master Lian alone." He pointed at Xiang Jintian. "You, come with my brother."
The bodyguard chuckled, "Just for one night, and your little girlfriend will be out."
Xiang Jintian's eyes gradually turned cold, his aura threatening to break free.
A faint smile spread across Xu Qian's eyes. It seemed this Young Master Lian had a "sexual" interest in her.
The young woman stepped forward, tiptoed, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She whispered, "I'll protect myself. Trust me, okay?"
The man's tense muscles relaxed slightly, and his voice deepened,
"Your life is the most important thing. Everything else... I don't care about."
