Chapter 508: Chapter 509: Imprisoned
Moreover, Ye Xinglan’s words were vague and his tone was not as calm as usual. he was clearly lying to her!
Thinking about Yu Nuo’s pale face, his shaking body, and his resistance to her approach, her heart felt painful as if it was being twisted.
Just how much torment did Yu Nuo have to endure to resist even her comfort?
She was enraged and heartbroken. Not waiting for Xueno and Yu Nuo to come find her, she went straight to the guards’ building.
When she arrived, Yu Nuo hadn’t finished his bath yet.
She waited a bit, and then Yu Nuo came out dressed in new clothes, his hair still wet.
He originally had a very handsome face, with delicate bone structure, snow-white skin, refined features, and appeared younger than his age, like a beautiful boy character from a manga.
He didn’t talk much, seeming somewhat aloof and eccentric.
But in reality, he was a very introverted and shy personality, very quiet, but very reliable, meticulous, and his combat power was off the charts.
Like Xueno, he was like Ye Xingbei’s right and left hand, hurting either would cause him pain.
While Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli were busy, Xueno and Yu Nuo were with Ye Xingbei every day.
Although the three of them were supposedly master and servants, they were all people starved for affection. Over the years, you could say they had been hostage to each other’s fate.
In Ye Xingbei’s heart, he considered Xueno and Yu Nuo his real brothers.
Seeing Yu Nuo in this condition, she felt nothing but heartache and anger.
She wished she could immediately drag out the culprit and give him a harsh whipping.
Yu Nuo stood in front of Ye Xingbei, his head down, water still dripping from his wet hair, he appeared as frail and thin as a child who had done something wrong.
Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, trying to soften her tone, “Yu Nuo, Brother Lan has already told me about your situation. Can you tell me, who kidnapped you?”
Yu Nuo appeared as if he was remembering something, his face turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color, his body shaking violently.
Ye Xingbei clenched her fists, walked up to him, and tried to grab his arm.
Yu Nuo abruptly shook her hand off. After coming back to his senses, his face turned even paler. He suddenly knelt down, “I’m… I’m sorry, Miss. I didn’t mean it…”
“I know,” said Ye Xingbei, kneeling down facing him, quietly looking at his face: “Yu Nuo, did Brother Lan warn you to keep a secret and tell you not to say anything to me?”
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Nuo nodded.
Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, and said slowly: “Yu Nuo, you’re my person, not Brother Lan’s. Do you think you should listen to me or to Brother Lan?”
Yu Nuo lowered his head even further: “I should listen to Miss.”
“Then can you tell me now?” Ye Xingbei asked, “Who kidnapped you and how were you hurt?”
Yu Nuo lowered his head and the tears began to fall heavily.
Ye Xingbei’s heart ached as if it was being wrung, but she didn’t want Yu Nuo to suffer in silence: “Yu Nuo, you must tell me because I am your master. Even if it’s Brother Lan’s order, it should be secondary to my command. Not listening to me means you are betraying me…”
“I’ll tell… I’ll tell!” Yu Nuo stammered: “It… it was Shi Qianying…”
Once the initial admission was out, the rest of the statement followed more naturally, “When I went to apply for a visa, I ran into Shi Qianying. She had her men capture me and take me back. She… she…”
Yu Nuo was shaking so hard he couldn’t get the words out. He hurriedly took off his shirt, exposing his thin chest.
