While riding my motorcycle, my sleeve got accidentally scratched,\" Gu Xinuo glanced nonchalantly at the torn sleeve and laughed it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Chen’s eyebrows knitted together, \"Are you hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I shook them off and then came back.\" As she spoke, Gu Xinuo took off her jacket and walked toward the wardrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same people have been tracking me since I was in S-city.

As he approached, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the black hired car across the street, with a playful smile flickering through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the rats still taking the bait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they want to follow, then let them follow well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn opened the car door and bent down to sit inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the door and started the engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver sports car zipped away with a whoosh, fast as a phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black sedan across the street immediately followed, maintaining a steady speed behind the silver sports car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn glanced at the car mirror and curled his lips into a cold smile, They’re so eager to follow already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached for his phone and dialed Ji Mingqian’s cell phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soothing light music filled the car, soon to be replaced by the voice of Ji Mingqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calling me at this time, are you inviting me for a meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, all you know is eating; are you a pig or what.\" Burn laughed and cursed. \"There’s a situation here; get ready quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A situation?\" Ji Mingqian sprang up from the couch, putting on his shoes as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m on the road now, there’s a car following me. I’ll lead them over,\" Burn explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. Head to the place we agreed on before. Don’t drive too fast; I’m coming to find you,\" Ji Mingqian said as he walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and searched for a black backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn asked, \"How long will it take you to get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About ten minutes,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I got it.\" Burn slowed down the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Ji Mingqian grabbed the backpack and rushed into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came out, his rugged handsome face had changed, a plain face that would disappear into the crowd without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, Ji Mingqian put on the mask exclusive to Leng Yi. Only after preparing everything did he take the car keys and leave the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Burn, afraid of arousing suspicion from those following him, didn’t intentionally lead them through twists and turns. He stopped by a restaurant to take out dinner in the middle of the drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind rose, filling the sky with the pale yellow flowers of the plane trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver sports car drove past the large plane trees and finally stopped in the open space in front of the white house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn got out of the car, holding the takeout dinner from the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped up the stairs and knocked on the door, his gaze sliding slyly behind him, his lips curving slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smart enough to park the car farther away, dumb, but not completely brainless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and a silver mask shone with a cold light in the dim night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh come on, Leng Yi, why are you wearing a mask at home? It’s pretty stupid,\" Burn’s hearty voice carried playfully with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the crap and come in,\" Ji Mingqian and Burn exchanged a look, his voice low and husky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change your shoes first; I’m a neat freak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he tossed out a pair of slippers, then took away the dinner in Burn’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While changing shoes, Burn asked, \"So, have you finally opened that iron box?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have,\" Ji Mingqian replied. \"Come in and see for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see what treasured goods you’ve hidden so well,\" Burn said as he followed inside after changing shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door closed, a cold breeze blew, and the plane leaves rustled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, two dark figures flashed, disappearing into the night in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the living room, Ji Mingqian pulled back a corner of the curtain, his lips thinning into a slight smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the fish has taken the bait; they’ll probably start looking tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withdrawing his hand, he walked back to the couch where Burn had already opened a beer and started drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still smart enough to bring your young master dinner,\" Ji Mingqian pulled the tab off a beer can, his mouth not missing the chance to insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skip the thanks; just get me Jiang Yisheng’s latest autographed album,\" Burn said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1356,"2026-05-30T05:19:11.335Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","f61969713bd45804dc128f1755f056c4fac8b694055e9340851428ca6662ffa9","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-694","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-692",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
