Chapter 682: Eldest Senior Brother Has a Strong Backstory (3)



“Yan Yan, I have some business to discuss with Duke Holtz. If you find it boring, feel free to wander around outside,” Bo Xijue said, giving Nan Yan a legitimate reason to explore the duke’s mansion, saving her the trouble of sneaking around.

As expected, Duke Holtz, not wanting to neglect an important guest brought by Bo Xijue, quickly arranged for someone to accompany Nan Yan.

However, Nan Yan declined, “I’ll just wander around on my own. I don’t want anyone following me.”

“Alright, if you need anything, feel free to ask,” Duke Holtz said kindly, then instructed his wife, “Darling, go see what Euphemia is doing. If she’s free, have her come and keep this young lady company.”

“Alright, I’ll go right away.”

Lady Carl, who didn’t want to intrude on her husband’s conversation with Bo Xijue, went to find Euphemia, intending to have her entertain the girl Bo Xijue brought along.

In their eyes, since Nan Yan was brought by Bo Xijue, she must have a special relationship with him.

They were eager to curry favor with Bo Xijue, but his attitude had always been cold and indifferent, keeping himself politically neutral.

Now, with Bo Xijue visiting their home, it seemed like he was extending a goodwill gesture.

They might be the first family to receive such an honor and needed to ensure they treated him well!

Nan Yan didn’t concern herself with what Bo Xijue was doing and walked outside with Song Ye.

Once they reached Yasuo City, Nan Yan had checked Qin Lu’s exact location again.

Now, without anyone telling her, she knew which house in the Duke’s mansion Qin Lu was being held in.

Although she hadn’t asked Duke Holtz to send anyone to follow her, the mansion was still heavily guarded with patrolling security and secret guards.

“Miss Nan, how are we going to find Mr. Qin?” Song Ye asked, a bit worried after seeing the security.

Honestly, seeing the security in this mansion, he felt a bit troubled.

Moreover, since they had entered so openly, it seemed harder to move around unnoticed compared to sneaking in before.

After all, they were being watched by many eyes; if they suddenly disappeared, it would draw more attention.

Nan Yan calmly replied, “What’s the rush? Let’s wander around first. We’ll see him when we get to the right place.”

“Oh…”

Song Ye scratched his head, feeling that Miss Nan was a bit too confident.

But since she said so, she must have a plan.

Song Ye obediently played the role of a follower.

Nan Yan didn’t head straight for where Qin Lu was being held. Instead, she leisurely strolled around the garden with Song Ye, seemingly wandering aimlessly but actually keeping an eye out.

When they reached the locked door, Nan Yan raised an eyebrow.

This was the place.

She took out her phone and saw that it had no signal.

The outside area was heavily jammed, so it was safe to assume the signal blocking inside this small courtyard was even more intense.

No wonder they couldn’t locate Qin Lu using conventional methods.

Nan Yan licked her lips and whispered, “Wait here. If anyone asks, tell them I went to the restroom. If no one asks, just pretend you’re waiting for me.”

Song Ye: “Oh…”

So, Miss Nan didn’t plan to take him in. She intended to see Mr. Qin alone?

It made sense. Someone had to stay behind to cover for her.

If they both disappeared, Duke Holtz’s people would quickly realize where they had gone.

He followed her instructions and cooperated fully.

Nan Yan was still wearing her dark casual clothes, with a few added accessories to make her look more formal.

This didn’t hinder her movements.

Finding a blind spot in the surveillance and the guards’ patrol, she ran a few steps and swiftly climbed the three-meter-high wall.

She made no sound and paused for less than a second on the wall before jumping down.

The guards in this courtyard were armed with real guns. If discovered, she might be riddled with bullets.

But they wouldn’t get that chance.

After landing, Nan Yan pressed her body against the wall, avoiding the surveillance cameras. Her dark clothes blended with the wall and environment, making her nearly invisible to the cameras.

When the camera passed, Nan Yan observed the distribution of the surrounding guards and then slipped into the inner room like a ghost.

“Who’s there?”

Wu Yue heard the noise and instinctively cried out, his eyes widening as he looked towards the source of the sound.

Nan Yan walked in unhurriedly. Seeing Wu Yue’s ghost-like expression, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “Wu Yue, where is your young master?”

“Miss… Miss Nan?” Wu Yue was stunned for three seconds before he reacted. “Wait, Miss Nan, how did you know the young master was here?”
