An Xiaoning felt nothing but empathy for her. She hugged her gently and patted her on her back. “This Nicole spent a lot of money to abduct him. I doubt she’s going to kill him immediately. If she’s really after No. 8’s life, she would have gotten her henchmen to kill him the moment they abducted him last night. She wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to take him overseas. We can hence deduce that No. 8 is safe for now.”

Her words had managed to give Mo Li some reassurance.

“Xiaoning, how do you plan to save No. 8? Wouldn’t it be harder to communicate with them since she’s a royal?”

“It’d indeed be difficult to negotiate with her, but so what if she’s royalty? Does her status give her the right to abduct others? I’ll think of a way to intervene. Aren’t you and No. 8 planning to get married? Have you registered your marriage yet?”

“Not yet, we’ve been planning to register it lately.”

An Xiaoning left Mo Li’s apartment and returned home. After much consideration, she decided to ask Byron for Nicole’s number and began communicating with her.

If the communication was to fail, she would have no choice but to make a trip to Y Nation.

She briefly explained the situation to Byron, who immediately sent her Nicole’s email address and mobile number.

An Xiaoning decided to try calling her first.

The call went through successfully.

“Who’s speaking?” a woman answered sluggishly.

An Xiaoning asked, “Are you Her Highness, Nicole?”

“Yes, who are you?”

“I’m An Xiaoning.”

After a moment of silence, Nicole asked, “What’s the matter?”

“What do you think? You abducted my bodyguard.”

“What evidence do you have to accuse me of that?”

“If I didn’t have any evidence, I wouldn’t have looked for you. Return my bodyguard to me and I’ll pretend that nothing has happened. If not, I’ll have no choice but to visit you personally in Y Nation.”

“Since you’ve said that, I’ll have to have a chat with you, then. Your bodyguard tried to assassinate me four years ago, and I have sufficient evidence to prove that he was the one, be it photos or the fingerprints he had left behind. There’s no way to deny that. Am I wrong to have spent a hefty sum of money to abduct him? Ms. An, would you like for him to die or to stay alive? If you want him to stay alive, then stay out of this. If you want him to die, you may try intervening. I’ll have no choice but to hand him over to the court and have him be punished by the law here. Attempting to assassinate a royal warrants a death sentence. What’s your decision?”

An Xiaoning remained silent. The situation turned out to be trickier than she had imagined. Assassinating a royal and leaving behind his thumbprints were indeed serious crimes.

“From the way I see it, you were not planning to hand him over to the law when you abducted him. Could you tell me your reason?”

“That... is my personal matter. I can’t divulge.”

“I’ll contact you again.” An Xiaoning ended the call.

She told Fan Shixin to get Sister Zhang’s mobile number from the Flying Tigers, after which she called Sister Zhang and asked, “Did No. 8 try to assassinate a member of the royal family of Y Nation, four years ago?”

“How did you know?”

“He was taken away by the person whom he had attempted to assassinate. How do you think I found out?” said An Xiaoning.

Sister Zhang gasped and said, “It’s over for him this time. Although he was just on a mission and was following orders, they definitely wouldn’t let him off now that he’s been caught.”

An Xiaoning ended the call without saying another word.

“Sis, No. 8 was taken away by the princess of Y Nation. Is anything going to happen to him?” No. 5 asked cautiously.

An Xiaoning looked at him and the other bodyguards before answering, “Four years ago, No. 8 tried to assassinate Princess Nicole when he was on a mission. They have his photos and his fingerprints that he had left behind. Princess Nicole said that I would have to stay out of this if I want him to live. If I intervene, she will hand him over to the law.”

“What do we do, then? We’re in such a difficult position,” said No. 5, who was filled with panic and anxiety.

“Let me think about it. There’ll definitely be a way out.”

However, she was extremely uncertain and lost deep down. After all, Princess Nicole had sufficient evidence against No. 8, and there was no way to justify his actions.

A City was a captivating city that came alive at night.

It had a beautiful and picturesque skyline.

Fang Erlan stood on the rooftop of her apartment and stared at the breathtaking view before her, an almost-empty can of beer in her hands.

She really did not want to go home to sleep, despite feeling a little weary.

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening, and she had no choice but to return to her apartment on the sixth floor.

To her astonishment, she was greeted with the strong odor of alcohol the moment she stepped foot inside the apartment.

Xiao Chenyang was chugging some liquor, despite already being drunk.

“Hey, why are you drinking so much?” she asked.

She stepped forward and snatched the bottle of liquor away from him. She placed the bottle onto the table and said, “Why are you drinking so much? Are you tired of living?”

“That won’t kill me,” he answered in a drunken stupor.

“Go to bed. Don’t you still have to travel tomorrow?”

“I can’t get up, give me a hand.”

“Sleep on the couch if you can’t get up.”

She turned around and headed inside the bedroom.

She grabbed a set of pajamas and proceeded to take a shower. By the time she was done, he was already sitting on the bed.

As soon as Fang Erlan walked toward him, he hugged her waist, giving her a great shock. “What are you doing!?!”

“Nan Chuang.”

Nan Chuang?

That was the exact same name he gave at the hospital. I thought it was just a casual name that he had made up, yet he’s calling it out loud again.

Did he mistake me for someone else?

Just as she was pondering over it, he again called, “Nan Chuang.”

“I’m not Nan Chuang,” said Fang Erlan, who then pushed him away with all her might, causing him to fall back onto the bed, perhaps because he was on the brink of losing his consciousness.

Fang Erlan adjusted his body into a comfortable position while she lay beside him.

Her initial weariness had now vanished without a trace.

Fang Erlan began to wonder if she resembled Nan Chuang and if that was the reason he had mistaken her for that other woman.

Will he leave once we clear the misunderstanding?

But he clearly knows my name.

He knows my name is not Nan Chuang.

Could it be...

She could not help but rack her brains for an answer. Despite knowing that we’re two separate individuals who look alike, he still...

Is he out of his mind?

Xiao Chenyang had a good night’s sleep while Fang Erlan suffered from insomnia for the rest of the night.

He alarmed her when he woke up in the morning.

“Who’s Nan Chuang?” she asked.

Xiao Chenyang asked in shock, “Why would you ask such a question?”

“Because you used that name when we were at the hospital and you even called that name out loud last night. Hence, I want to know who that is.”

“You really want to know?”

“Yes.”

“But it’s not the right time to tell you yet,” Xiao Chenyang refused. In fact, he simply did not want her to feel burdened by what happened in their past lives and he wanted her to fall in love with him once more while she still had no memory of the previous lifetime. He planned to only tell her about their previous lifetime after she falls in love with him again.

Fang Erlan asked, “She must be the woman whom you love the most, right? Do I resemble her greatly? Has she passed away? Is that why you’re treating me like I’m her? Did I guess correctly?”
