Chapter 1396: Chapter 1413: The Young Mistress Is Missing (Part 3)

"Young Master... I... I am innocent, everything was instructed by Miss Zhong Li! Young Master..."

Nangong Yaoling suddenly stood up, stepped forward, and fiercely stomped his black leather shoe on the man’s chest.

The man’s face turned ashen instantly, looking at Nangong Yaoling with terror.

"Will you handle it yourself, or should I assist you?" Nangong Yaoling stomped on his face, and the man’s mouth immediately spurted blood.

"Young Master... please spare me... Young Master..." The man stared wide-eyed in horror and pleaded desperately: "It was Nangong Zhongli... it was her... it was her..."

Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath and looked at the man.

"If you owned up to everything today, I might have spared your worthless life. But now... you aren’t even fit to be a loyal dog!"

After speaking, Nangong Yaoling withdrew his leg.

With disgust, he seemed unwilling to look at the man any further, and turned around.

"Dispose of him." A cold voice, as if it came from hell, said.

"... Yes!"

Qin Yi looked at the man before him, slightly shocked inside.

His figure was tall and imposing, emanating an ominous and chilling presence that seemed to instantly obliterate anyone near him.

Qin Yi knew, this time the Young Master was truly utterly furious.

Or rather, it was not just anger, but more a mix of disappointment and heartbreak.

The sister he had adored since childhood actually stabbed him in the back, taking the child he had longed for...

Inner turmoil stirred Qin Yi, engulfing him in strong unease.

After following Nangong Yaoling for so many years, his instinct told him... this time with Nangong Zhongli, it seemed no one could save her...

The mistake she made was too grave.

Qin Yi wanted to speak up but felt unable to articulate.

One was his most respected and admired master, the other... the woman he loved in his heart.

And yet he was powerless.

Two bodyguards came forward, dragging the man who was nearly paralyzed from fear out.

Soon, a muffled scream and then a "bang—" sound of a gunshot came from outside the door.

Everything eventually returned to silence.

Qin Yi stood at the doorway, looking at the figure, sighed helplessly, and closed his eyes.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached.

"What happened?" Qin Yi looked up and asked.

A bodyguard whispered something in his ear.

Qin Yi’s face changed.

He couldn’t help but step forward: "Young Master... there’s trouble."

Nangong Yaoling’s body trembled.

He turned sharply and looked at Qin Yi.

"The young lady... she’s missing... the bodyguard followed her to the supermarket, waited outside, but after an hour the young lady was nowhere to be seen, and when they went in to look, they found no sign of her in the supermarket!"

Nangong Yaoling’s face turned slightly pale; instinctively, he took out his phone and dialed that number.

Unable to connect...

Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath.

He called several more times, still unable to reach her.

Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath.

Under normal circumstances, Xiaonuan’s phone was rarely unreachable. Unless she didn’t hear it, but then it would just be a case of no one answering.

His mind went blank for a few seconds, then he looked at Qin Yi, his eyes red with fury and shouted: "Why aren’t you searching already!"

"Yes!"

******

Half an hour earlier.

Xiaonuan was holding a lemon in her hand when she heard someone calling her, surprised to see that standing before her was the old butler of the Nangong Family.
