Chapter 681: Eldest Senior Brother Has a Strong Backstory (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It turned out that the girl wasn’t ordinary. When the motorcycle was about to hit her, she jumped up and kicked Leo off the bike, causing him to be seriously injured.
Ultimately, it was Leo who provoked her first.
Duke Joshur only thought this way because of Nan Yan’s connection to Bo Xijue.
If it had been an ordinary person, he wouldn’t have let Nan Yan off the hook.
In his eyes, his son’s life was precious, far above that of commoners.
If his son had hit someone and they died, it would have been their own fault.
As it stood, his son was still in the emergency room, fighting for his life.
If Leo had died, even if he wanted to cooperate with Bo Xijue, he would still seek justice for his son!
For now, he would wait…
Night fell.
Nan Yan quietly changed into a black tracksuit for easy movement.
Song Ye, being very cooperative, had also dressed early in black night gear, ready to go with her.
Just as they were about to set off, Bo Xijue blocked their way.
“Junior Sister, where are you planning to go this late at night?”
“Senior Brother, didn’t you say you had something to do tonight and had guests to entertain?”
“Yes, but meeting the guests only takes a moment. My assistant handles the rest; I don’t need to stay there all the time.” Bo Xijue explained, smiling. “Besides, with you here, Junior Sister, how could I spend time with anyone else and not you?”
“But seriously, you two dressed like this, what mischief are you planning?”
Bo Xijue hadn’t asked why Nan Yan came to Yasuo Principality.
After all, it was her personal business, and he respected her privacy.
If she wanted to tell him, he would be happy to listen.
If she didn’t want to say, he wouldn’t force her.
So he made his comment in a joking tone, not putting any pressure on her.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment before choosing to be honest. “Senior Brother, I’m here to find someone. I came here for him.”
“Is he important to you?”
Bo Xijue had a feeling that this “he” was a man.
“Yes, he’s the one I love.” Nan Yan admitted openly.
Her master and senior brothers knew about her relationship with Qin Lu, so she couldn’t hide it from the senior brother who cared for her the most.
Bo Xijue was a bit surprised.
He had thought that with Nan Yan’s personality, she might end up alone for life.
After all, she focused all her energy on research, wasn’t very sociable, was too independent, and very capable. Being with her could be stressful for any man.
He hadn’t expected there to be a man brave enough to pursue Junior Sister.
He must be quite bold!
“Where are we going to find him? I’ll go with you.”
He was curious about his future brother-in-law.
A man who could win over Junior Sister must be quite a warrior. He had to show his admiration in person.
Nan Yan: “To Duke Holtz’s mansion.”
Bo Xijue: “Oh…”
He felt like he might have discovered something…
But whether his suspicion was correct would be revealed soon enough.
“Let’s take the car. I’ll drive you there.”
“Great!”
Nan Yan cheerfully abandoned her plan to sneak into Duke Holtz’s mansion and got into Bo Xijue’s luxury car.
There was no need for sneaking over walls or avoiding guards; Bo Xijue confidently brought them straight into Duke Holtz’s mansion.
Duke Holtz even warmly came out to greet them.
“Mr. Bo, what a rare guest! What brings you here tonight?”
Duke Holtz was a handsome man in his late forties.
Well-maintained, and with an air of nobility, he was quite the elegant figure.
Beside him was a beautiful, seductive woman—his wife.
“Forgive the abrupt visit, Duke Holtz and Lady Carl.”
Bo Xijue’s words were polite, but his detached tone showed neither much respect nor even perfunctory courtesy.
However, the Holtz couple did not find this inappropriate. Instead, they became even more enthusiastic.
Nan Yan had never accompanied her senior brother to meet others before. Her visits were always brief, and now she realized she didn’t really know what her senior brother’s identity was.
If he were just a businessman, how could he casually visit the top duke of Yasuo Principality?
Moreover, the Duke and Duchess’s attitude toward her senior brother carried an unspoken respect and a hint of excitement.
It seemed as though they considered it an honor for him to be there.
It became clear to her that her senior brother was someone who kept his true capabilities well hidden.
