Chapter 1691: 1691: Isn’t it easy to capture with one’s hands?
Upon hearing this, Zhan Beiye was speechless.
He figured as much, how could someone who had been so severely injured remain comatose for so many days without waking up even once… However, he had woken up once.
But ever since that time, Xiang Qiyan had never woken up again.
So, it’s ninety percent certain that An Jiuyue had a hand in this, Xiang Qiyan is currently being kept in an induced coma, and he should be able to wake up if he takes the antidote, right?
“Beiye, keep an eye on those people,” Qian Jiyun instructed.
“Them?”
Zhan Beiye raised his eyebrows.
The others were quite well-behaved, mindful of their roles within their group, except for that self-righteous woman, Gu Qingyu.
“Are you afraid one of them will approach those foolish guards?”
He almost said the one who wanted to approach the guards was Gu Qingyu.
“Those guards are nothing to be concerned about, but what I fear is… someone might target someone they shouldn’t,” said Qian Jiyun.
“What kind of person shouldn’t they target? Could it be that foolish woman has the audacity to target Xiang Qiyan… Hmm.” Zhan Beiye suddenly choked up when a thought crossed his mind.
“You don’t think that woman is so despicable and shameless, do you? Qiyan is still comatose!”
“It’s precisely because he’s comatose that he can’t resist,” Qian Jiyun reminded him.
“Tsk, tsk.”
Zhan Beiye clicked his tongue a couple of times.
He had not noticed that Gu Qingyu had managed to set her sights on Xiang Qiyan.
“Su Tang is over there, nothing will go wrong,” he said.
Despite his words, he couldn’t help thinking, even if Gu Qingyu wanted to do something to Qiyan, what could she possibly do to a person who’s unconscious?
“Don’t be careless, Su Tang won’t let anything happen to Qiyan, but that doesn’t mean he can keep his subordinates under control,” said Qian Jiyun.
“Hmm.”
Zhan Beiye was momentarily choked by his words.
Hadn’t those guards been instigated by Gu Qingyu before? Su Tang couldn’t keep them from gossiping.
“I will give Su Tang the instructions.”
“You should also be vigilant, Su Tang can’t always be by Qiyan’s side,” Qian Jiyun said.
Zhan Beiye: “…”
Could it be that woman plans to force herself on Xiang Qiyan while he is still in a coma?
If that’s really the case, then Gu Qingyu’s skin must be thick indeed, and they would have to be on guard. It was necessary to protect Xiang Qiyan.
Not that they were afraid of Gu Qingyu, but if Qiyan were to be touched by such a woman, he would probably find it disgusting; even killing her probably wouldn’t be satisfying.
“I will be careful. Just focus on An Jiuyue,” he nodded to Qian Jiyun, indicating he understood.
…
Inside a room, a woman held a delicate box in her hands. Seeing that no one was in the room, she nervously opened the lid to check the contents.
“With this, whether he’s King Xiang or King Qian, they’re both easy prey,” she said, her lips curling into a smile of determination.
She eyed the two Gu Insects inside the box, originally prepared for Qian Jiyun but never had the chance to use them.
Now that everyone had settled down and she was unable to make a move on Qian Jiyun, was she worried about a comatose Xiang Qiyan slipping through her fingers?
