Chapter 242 Am I hard to pursue?
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Xie Li was completely bewildered.
Last night, Qi Yuan looked like he wanted to kill Noah right away, but tonight they've made up?
Is this how dating is?
When your partner gets angry, you can just coax them and it will be fine?
Shirley had never been in a relationship, so he didn't know if this was the case for all women.
The reason he was able to appear here today and save Qi Yuan is that during his escape, he discovered that Qi Yuan had been taken away by others, and he followed them out of curiosity.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Qi Yuan being led away with his hands tied at gunpoint. He had originally planned to follow him quietly with his men to see what the other party wanted to do to Qi Yuan, and then do Qi Yuan a favor.
Xie Li still hoped that Qi Yuan could become their ally, as Qi Yuan possessed the most information sources of any person he had ever met.
However, Xie Li couldn't figure out what kind of person Qi Yuan was, given his personality and behavior. In the conversation just now, Xie Li had gained some understanding of Qi Yuan.
If Qi Yuan wants to kill them, he can tell Noah.
However, it seems from his words that Noah already knows his identity but has not made a move. Also, Qi Yuan's words also imply that Noah wants to change the entire Northern Continent.
Sherley didn't know whether these words were true or false; in any case, he could only take it one step at a time.
He took Qi Yuan to the hospital.
The hospital's reputation in Juecheng meant that when the nurses saw him come for treatment, they immediately arranged for the hospital's best doctor to examine and bandage Qi Yuan's wounds.
Qi Yuan's injury is not serious; it's just a mild concussion, and he'll be fine after a few days of rest.
While Qi Yuan was receiving medical treatment, Xie Li and the other members of Darkfire had already left, and instead, Asa and Nick came to pick him up.
Because of her sensitive identity, Shelly didn't dare to contact the Davis family to pick up Qi Yuan. Instead, she asked Nick to come and get him. Nick was most familiar with Asa in the Davis family, so she asked Asa to come and pick up Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan, with bandages wrapped around his head, took a car home.
Sitting in the car, Qi Yuan asked Asha, "Asha, what was the situation inside the hotel when you left?"
“I’m sorry, Mr. Qi Yuan. My main task was to protect you. After we got separated, I immediately started looking for you everywhere and didn’t know what happened behind the hotel. However, when I was running away, I saw that the President and Mr. Dunlop had both been shot and were lying on the ground.”
Qi Yuan also saw the footage of the president being shot, but he didn't see that Dunlop was also shot.
Could someone survive being shot in such a chaotic scene?
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan frowned deeply.
"Where is Noah?"
"The patriarch is fine, I can guarantee that."
Hearing that Noah was alright, Qi Yuan finally felt relieved.
"Nick, go and investigate who caused the chaos tonight."
Nick hesitated, "Boss Qi, I'm the leader of an assassin organization, not an intelligence organization..."
"Shelly said that tonight's attack was not caused by Blackfire; he only went to poison people tonight and did not plan the attack."
Knowing why Nick was unwilling to investigate, Qi Yuan shut Nick up with a single sentence.
Upon hearing that it had nothing to do with Darkfire, Nick immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go investigate in a bit."
Qi Yuan didn't say anything more, and lay back in the chair with his eyes closed for a short rest.
The car returned to Davis's house.
Qi originally intended to hold on until Noah returned, but perhaps the painkillers he took had a sedative effect, and he fell asleep while sitting for a while.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside the window, and he was being held in a pair of strong and powerful arms.
Qi Yuan looked up and saw who was holding him. He didn't say anything, but gently leaned into the other person's embrace like a cat.
Noah was still trapped. After sensing Qi Yuan's movements, he reached out and hugged him even tighter.
Qi Yuan slept quietly in his arms for a while. About half an hour later, Noah finally woke up. He opened his eyes and met Qi Yuan's dark eyes staring at him. He gave him a bright smile and said, "Baby, you're finally awake."
"who are you?"
As soon as the three words were uttered, Noah was suddenly stunned. His azure eyes widened to their maximum, and he stared at Qi Yuan, speechless for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Qi Yuan's mischievous impulse rekindled, and he asked, "Who are you?"
He pretended to be meeting the other person for the first time and had no idea who they were.
Noah finally realized what was happening and exclaimed excitedly, "My darling, I'm your husband! Your most, most, most beloved person!"
Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow in displeasure. "Who are you trying to fool? You're a man, and I'm a man too. How could you possibly be my husband? Who are you? Why are you lying next to me? If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you."
As he spoke, Qi Yuan pretended to be fierce and grabbed Noah's neck with one hand.
Noah looked as if the sky had fallen, his face filled with sorrow. "Baby, have you really forgotten who I am? No! Baby, do you know how hard you are to win over? I don't want to start from scratch to win you over. I still want to do this and that with you!"
Qi Yuan frowned: "Am I hard to pursue?"
"Yeah, she's easy to talk to but hard to talk to, and it takes her a lot of time to win you over."
Noah almost blurted out what he was thinking, but quickly changed his mind.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan slapped him on the forehead, "So you're admitting that you used deception to pursue her?"
"Huh? Honey, you haven't lost your memory?"
Noah suddenly realized what was happening.
Qi Yuan said, "It's a mild concussion, not to the point of amnesia. But do you really think I'm hard to pursue?"
"Hehe, it's not hard. Once you've won her over, it's not hard at all."
Noah, still shaken, pulled the person into his arms. Although he said he wasn't afraid to chase after them again, he was actually still scared inside.
Qi Yuan didn't speak, burying his face in his chest.
Noah asked, "Baby, how did you get hurt?"
“It was that mayor of Gangdia who did it,” Qi Yuan said. “I don’t know who colluded with him, but that guy actually tried to take me away and keep me for himself. I strangled him while he was driving.”
As he spoke, Qi Yuan raised his hand.
The marks from the rope still remained on her wrists.
When Qi Yuan restrained the mayor, he used so much force that his wrists were chafed raw by the rope.
Noah looked at the wound on Qi Yuan's wrist with heartache, then took it and gently kissed it.
"My darling has suffered. I know there are some fearless guys who want you, but how dare they take you away from me!"
A sinister glint flashed in Noah's eyes.
Qi Yuan said, "The situation was so chaotic last night. If I hadn't resisted and had been captured by that guy, it might have been very difficult for you to find me."
These words made Noah feel a little scared.
Last night's situation was chaotic and messy. When the attack occurred, he saw Qi Yuan and A Sha heading to a safe place, so he led the hunting dogs to fight back.
In fact, he deliberately made the scene more chaotic last night in order to 'accidentally' injure Bartlett in that attack.
Although Bartlett was old, his years of naval experience had taught him how to avoid danger, which is why he survived the chaos of last night.
After the chaos subsided, he began to count the casualties. Mayor Gangdia's death was unexpected; no one knew why he died on the street, nor did anyone know why he was strangled.
Noah also ordered an investigation, but now Qi Yuan says he only just learned how the other party died.
But as Qi Yuan said, if Mayor Gangdia hadn't died and had taken Qi Yuan away and hidden him, he might not have been able to find him for a while.
After all, he would suspect Darkfire, Ryan, and Bartlett, but they wouldn't suspect a mere mayor of Gangdia.
"Luckily, my baby is strong and wasn't taken away by that pig," Noah said with a sigh of relief.
Qi Yuan said, "That mayor said that he doesn't belong to Darkfire or Ryan's camp. He's allied with a third-party camp. Just how powerful is this third-party camp that he dares to take me away?"
After saying that, Qi Yuan looked up at Noah.
Noah already had a general idea of what Qi Yuan wanted to ask: "I'm also investigating the identities of those guys. They're a bit strange; they don't look like people from the Northern Continent. Their skin color is rather dark, almost black."
Hearing Noah's address to those people, Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Dark-skinned?"
"Yes, their weapons are somewhat different from ours. They are also agile and well-trained, likely having undergone years of assassin training. Their purpose is clear: to kill the president first."
Qi Yuan asked in confusion, "The Federation's president is dead, so what should the Federation do next?"
"A temporary acting president will be elected to manage federal affairs until the new president takes office next spring and takes over the position. Currently, Bartlett is the most powerful person in the federal government, so he has a high probability of becoming the acting president."
"Were those assassins from out of town brought by Bartlett?" Qi Yuan asked.
Noah nodded slightly: "It's highly likely that it was him. His sudden arrival in Jue City, and the fact that those people came from other continents, matches my previous guess that he used naval ships to go to other continents and paid mercenaries there to carry out the murders. I think he came to Jue City to become the acting president."
"Why does he want to be the acting president? He's only in charge for about a month. What can he possibly do?" Qi Yuan asked, puzzled.
Noah said, "He probably doesn't want me to be president. He wants to find a way to seize power in the federal government before I become president, or he wants to kill me."
"Can't we strike first?"
Noah sighed, "His status is a bit different now. We couldn't just kill him when he was in the Navy, but now that he's the acting president, killing him is tantamount to declaring war on the Federation. Besides, it's not just the Davis family that can't be killed; the other three families have to follow suit. However, Dunlop is dead. His death was too sudden, and the next head of the Leopold family hasn't been decided yet, so things might get chaotic."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression turned grim.
