eddled...""Geo-Estate belongs to the Leng Group, and the future heir of the Leng Group is my older brother. Geo-Estate naturally belongs to him as well. I will fight alongside my older brother; there'..."Cough—cough—" Les coughed painfully, waving his hand. "You, you don't need to worry, you have Leng Yechen's order, they, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

"When you gave me the 'Five Emperors Gate' protection contract, did you already anticipate that I would be in danger sooner or later" Qin Nianxia asked calmly.

Les then turned his gaze away, falling silent.

"Why would you know I'd be in danger" Qin Nianxia questioned again.

"I sighed and started making excuses. 'You know, I run a bar. In a place like that, all sorts of whispers and rumors make their way to my ears.'"

"Do you know who I am" Qin Nianxia's brow furrowed instantly.

"Le Si slowly lowered her eyelids: 'I don't know what your identity is in the underworld. I only know that when you were in Country Y, I received news that someone wanted to arrest you. As for the reason, I haven't found out. Dy, who have you offended'"

"Let's find a way to get out of here!" Qin Nianxia helped Les stand up.

The room's door was already locked. Qin Nianxia helped Les stand steady, then took out tools from her small backpack and began to pick the lock.

Les was utterly astonished, staring at Qin Nianxia. He exclaimed incredulously, "Dy, when did you start working as a thief"

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a thief!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Nianxia's hand holding the tools froze.

She remembered that Leng Yanchen had also once said she was a thief...

"Shall we go out like this then" Les continued.

Qin Nianxia came back to her senses and continued picking the lock, replying: "There's no one guarding outside, and besides, this is a cruise ship. The whole ship is full of passengers."

Suddenly, the grandfather clock in the room chimed.

Qin Nianxia only felt a chill run down her spine.

She instinctively turned, but saw Reese holding a dagger and lunging towards her.

At the crucial moment, she nimbly dodged and leaped to Les's side, grabbing his wrist with both hands as he clutched a dagger tightly.

She anxiously asked, "Reese! What's wrong"

"I'll kill you! I want your blood!" Reese said emotionlessly, his eyes hollow and vacant, like a walking corpse.

Only then did Qin Nianxia realize that Le Si had been poisoned by Mr. Mo's bloodthirsty gu.

The sound of the clock pendulum just now, was his "hypnotic point"!

To wake Lars, the clock must chime again, which will be in an hour.

"I'm going to kill you and take your blood!" Reese suddenly threw her off with force.

Qin Nianxia, due to her inertia, stumbled into the corner of the table and then fell to the ground.

She could only feel a sharp pain in her abdomen, and before she could recover, Reese had already pounced on her, raising his dagger again.

Seeing Les was about to stab down, she grabbed Les's wrist again, struggling to stop him, and tried to wake him up: "Les, wake up! It's dy!"

And at this moment, Les was sitting on her, just pressing down on the spot where her abdomen hurt.

Qin Nianxia began to sweat, her hands gripping Les's tightly and trembling slightly.

Her strength was not as great as Les's, the dagger slowly descending.

Just then, a man's voice came from outside the door: "Little girl, Mr. Mo said that since you don't keep your word and have called in people from the 'Five Emperors Gate,' then Mr. Mo will have all these people on this ship accompany you to your grave for your breach of faith!"

"I'm not a liar!" Qin Nianxia roared hysterically, "Don't hurt the innocent!"

But there was no more sound outside the door.

Les struck, and she nimbly shifted her shoulders, dodging the blade.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom," and the entire room began to shake. Immediately afterward, the floor started to tilt.

The furniture inside the room started to slide, and the grandfather clock tipping over caused its pendulum to swing wildly with a loud "clong".

The next second, Les suddenly woke up, seeing that he was holding a dagger in his hand and sitting on Qin Nianxia's body. Startled, he hurriedly threw the dagger away and scrambled off her.

However, he hadn't stood firm and slid down with the sloping floor.

Qin Nianxia climbed up again, opened the door, and a chorus of cries for help from men and women, as well as children's cries, came from outside.

Just when she thought the ship was going to sink, the room was slowly returning to balance.

The cries from outside were no longer as loud as they had been.

At this time, several military green helicopters were hovering in the sky.

Qin Nianxia recognized the emblems on those helicopters, they were from the Special Operations Bureau!

Les threw down the dagger in his hand, staggered over, and grabbed Qin Nianxia's wrist, frowning: "Dy, you have to come with me. I'll take you to see someone who can protect you."

"I'm so sorry, Reese. You've been afflicted with the Bloodthirsty Worm. Whenever you hear the sound of a clock striking, you lose your reason and could endanger the lives of those around you at any moment."

"Me 'Blood-Devouring Worm,' did I just harm you"

"You haven't hurt me! But, now it's not time for you to leave with me, it's time for you to come with me. The poison in you, besides Mr. Mo, only my grandfather can cure!"

Just as Qin Nianxia finished speaking, she faintly heard a rhythmic sound of footsteps. She immediately shut the door and pulled Les towards the big bed.

"Take off all your clothes and shoes!"

"Why"

"It's too late, you quickly get out of here!"

Lester was still reeling when Qin Nianxia began pulling at his clothes.

Then, she pushed Reese onto the bed and tore at her own clothes, leaning down to embrace him.

Les was a little bit flustered.

Qin Nianxia had just placed her hands on her waist when the door slammed shut with a loud bang against the wall.

"Les, I love you. I want to go back to Y country with you." She blurted out those words immediately.

Les looked at Qin Nianxia in bewilderment.

If the master knew that dy had said to him, "I love you," he would surely dismember him a thousand pieces!

Less thinks back and feels a bit scared.

At this time, a tall figure strode forward in the afterglow, bringing with it a gust of cold wind laced with hostility.

His handsome face soon appeared in sight.

Lesston was tense.

Cold Yanchen effortlessly lifted Qin Nianxia from him.

Les felt that at this moment, Leng Yanchen was more "terrifying" than his master!

It even gave him the feeling of the end of the world.

Qin Nianxia used her hands and feet, pounding Cold Yanchen's chest while struggling: "Damn it! Let me go!"

"Take this suspect down!" Leng Yanchen ordered coldly.

Two warriors immediately came up and lifted Les from the bed.

"Dy, save me! I'm not a suspect!" Lester was close to tears.

Qin Nianxia glanced at Les, and anxiously shouted: "Leng Yanchen, let go of Les!"

"Take him away!" Leng Yanchen ignored her completely. With a single order, they took Les away and closed the door to his room.

"Help me!" Leth's cries for help faded with distance from outside the door.

Qin Nianxia anxiously continued to shove Leng Yanchen. As a result, she not only failed to push him away but also ended up falling onto the bed herself.

Leng Yanchen also took advantage of the situation to come closer, imprisoning her between his arms with no escape.

He swept his hand out, seizing her wrist and pulling it up to press against her forehead, shoving her down onto the bed. His other hand slipped under her blouse, reaching for the hidden clasp at her back.

"Looks like I didn't feed you enough, so you had to sneak out for a bite"

Qin Nianxia frowned and gritted her teeth, "I don't need you to 'feed' me, Les just 'fed' me!"

"Can you 'feed' while wearing clothes Come, let me show you how to 'feed'."

"Leng Yanchen..." Qin Nianxia suddenly blushed, feeling her clothes loosen. If she moved again, she was afraid she would truly become this domineering man's "delicacy."

Seeing the man about to kiss her, she became so flustered that she blurted out, "Leng Yanchen, will you please let me and Les be together I beg you..."

"Asking me" Leng Yanchen tightened his grip slightly. "Is this how you ask someone for a favor"

A throbbing pain came from her wrist. Qin Nianxia frowned and retorted, "Then tell me, how can I appease you How can you let me and Reese leave"

"Give birth to my child."

Qin Nianxia was taken aback, her heart instantly aching. She went hysterical: "You're with me just to have a child, aren't you"r outsiders, entering means walking a dead end. The hope of saving her is too slim."Don't worry though, you are Yingning's own sister, A-Shi wouldn't ignore you." Ji Yushan smiled wryly, turning in an...
