After she dismissed the servants, she returned and saw Nangong Yan walking towards her. He reached out his hands to hold her in his embrace and hugged her again. Gu Ruoyun was a little angry. She kicked out at him and Nangong Yan took a step back to avoid her attack.

"So ruthless?" Nangong Yan smiled. Seeing Gu Ruoyun's actions, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Her reaction and movements were obviously unlike those of normal women. If he was kicked, he wouldn't be able to sleep on the bed for at least three days.

"You don't want me to get angry, you'd better settle down." Gu Ruoyun said with a hint of anger. She hated it when people touched her the most. Nangong Yan stared straight into Gu Ruoyun's eyes. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he had indeed restrained himself quite a bit, but his heart was even more unbalanced. Looking at how she always kept a distance from him, he felt depressed.

"Please restrain the look in your eyes, I don't like it." Gu Ruoyun walked past him and returned to the chair to rest. She was not a man of God and had been out since last night. She hadn't had a good rest until now and had overworked herself in the middle.

Her mind kept replaying what had happened in the past few days. She thought about it carefully, but did not say anything as she continued to drink the red wine. Nangong Yan strode back to her side, moving the chair over and sitting beside her to look at her expression. In that instant, he had completely regarded her as a goddess.

"Alright, then let's get down to business. Do you think this has anything to do with what happened five years ago?" Nangong Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his handsome face red. He stared at Gu Ruoyun and his entire body began to heat up. This was a desire filled with lust for women, and yet at this moment, there was still such a feeling. It was clear that he desired her.

"If it doesn't matter, then you won't be running outside for the next two days." Gu Ruoyun said without any hesitation, as if what they were doing outside didn't escape her eyes.

After hearing Gu Ruoyun's words, Nangong Yan sat up straight again. His eyes stared at the red wine without saying a word. Gu Ruoyun calmed her mind down. She crossed her fingers in front of her, turned her head to the side, and rested for a while.

The two of them did not speak for half an hour. Gu Ruoyun's eyes were narrowed as she rested here, but half an hour later she had already fallen asleep. Nangong Yan did not wake her up, instead allowing her to sleep in front of him.

Half an hour later, Gu Ruoyun's phone rang. She almost fell off her chair as she grabbed her bag with her hand on the armrest. When she found her phone, she realized that it was a call from He Luo.

She glanced at Nangong Yan before standing up and walking to the window to answer the phone. After He Luo told her a few things, Gu Ruoyun briefly said a few things, but this was not the place for her to talk. She could only hang up.

"Is there any news?" Nangong Yan saw that after Gu Ruoyun hung up the phone, he went up to her and asked nervously. Seeing that Gu Ruoyun's expression was not too good, he was also a little worried.

His bodyguards had yet to bring back any news, even from Leng Lian city. Mr. Wan had left the country last night and had not come back yet. Although everything had been arranged, there was no news from him at all.

"Fortunately, this is my private matter." Gu Ruoyun clenched her fists. She did not intend to tell Nangong Yan about her matters. Previously, she had asked He Luo to help her investigate some of the matters related to Chen Taishang, but now, He Luo had called back and said that there was no news.

In other words, after Chen's car left that place, He Luo also caught up to him. The other party seemed to have noticed and deliberately made a detour, finally getting rid of him. How could an elite figure like He Luo be easily left behind? It was obvious that the other party was familiar with their abilities, which was why.

No matter what, Chen Duo had saved her life today. No matter what she came for, Gu Ruoyun should be grateful. But now that she couldn't find him, there was no need to even mention thanking him.

Nangong Yan still wanted to say something, but at this moment there was movement outside. It seemed that someone had returned. Gu Ruoyun turned around with him and saw that a group of bodyguards had returned.

Gu Ruoyun could tell at a glance that they were Nangong Yan's bodyguards. She had met some of them before. She looked at Nangong Yan, "Do you want me to leave?"

Gu Ruoyun didn't know why the other party had returned. She didn't know if there were some things she could listen to, but she wouldn't easily listen to other people's secrets.

"No need." Although the hall was a mess, there was still a luxurious and oppressive atmosphere. Gu Ruoyun stood there and watched as Nangong Yan's bodyguards left.

"How is it?" Nangong Yan asked in a deep voice. The six of them lined up in two rows in front of him. Everyone lowered their heads and stood with their hands behind their back.

"Boss, there's no news. We found that place and only found this item. It seems like it belongs to Miss Nangong Lan." At this moment, a bodyguard took out an item and handed it over to Nangong Yan. Gu Ruoyun also came in front of him, she also recognized that this item was indeed worn by Nangong Lan.

Nangong Yan took the thing in his hand and looked at it. He angrily looked at the bodyguards: What do you mean only discovering this thing? "Where is he?"

The bodyguards did not look too good. It was obvious that they did not complete the task, but they found that the clues had been cut off because of their appearance.

"Four of our brothers who went in died and two were injured. There was no one there, so it was obvious that they knew we were going to come. They made preparations in advance, so the clues were cut off." He knew that if this news was said, Nangong Yan would definitely be furious, but it was the truth. They would not lie, much less make up some lies to deceive him.

Nangong Yan stood there with his hands behind his back as he stood beside Gu Ruoyun. His expression was extremely ugly: "The clues stopped?"

What he cared about was not how many were dead or injured, but that the clues had been cut short. It took them two days to find that place, and now they didn't even have a clue.

Gu Ruoyun stood at the side and listened, she smiled lightly. When she asked him about it, he had never said it. She really thought that he had gone to drink, but she did not expect that his drinking was only a pretense. She did not know how many things he had actually done.

Gu Ruoyun had already felt things weren't so simple after they'd disappeared for a few days. Now it seemed that they had indeed gained something, but unfortunately, they were one step ahead of her.
