<h4>Chapter 578 - Prove her words to be reasonable.</h4>


    Back in her apartment, Feng Yi Lan turned to look at the wall clock and hurried her steps, "Yi Lan, girl, hurry up! Li Xue must have already reached the ce. If she gets to see that old hag before you get there, she will surely not be waiting for you. And then all your taken risk will simply go to waste". She mumbled to herself, slightly gripping onto the object in her long overcoat jacket.


    ''Only if my brotheres to know my audacity, he would not hesitate in ughtering me like sheep and cattle.'' She thought to herself, before breathing out a breath of deliberation and then again pacing her steps out from her home in a hurry. ''Anything for you, my friend! Be it cruel death or a meful life, I will take anything for you''.


    Taking the elevator, soon she was about to enter the lobby to get her car. But the moment the door of the elevator dinged open; it revealed a man outside. Her brows scrunched a little at his presence as she asked, "Director Qi what are you doing here?"


    Qi Shuai, who was equally surprised to find the woman going somewhere, smiled awkwardly. "Umm … LanLan, you are going somewhere?"


    Feng Yi Lan folded her arms over her c.h.e.s.t before giving him a warning look that was saying ''you better not show your dramatics here''.


    "Ah, I am not showing any dramatics. I am sincerely asking you if you are going anywhere where I can apany you" The man said, shrugging his shoulders back and looking at the woman with pressed lips of casualness.


    The woman rolled her eyes, simply replying to his words and then making her way past him. "Yes, I am going somewhere where you cannot apany me. So, kindly excuse me".


    Qi Shuai mouth opened to say something but before even he could convey a single word, the woman was already gone. Wasn''t she in quite a hurry to walk away from him? Where was she going? To find a man better than him? Not a chance!


    He at once turned around and ran to follow her. "Yi Lan, you should take me along, only that way your words from another day wille out to sound more reasonable," He said,ing to her front then continuing walking backwards matching her pace and steps.


    Feng Yi Lan was in a slight hurry, so only pausing herself for a few seconds, she said, "There is nothing that I need to prove reasonable, Director Qi. So, please you can go, I will manage my stuff and you won''t need to think of it".


    "No need to prove it reasonable? How can that be? Did you already forget what you said to your mother yesterday? She might not believe it if you stay so separated and distant from me. So, I am saying just let me apany you. I will be silent by your side in a way where you would not even feel that I am there" He said again but all his words were again brushed off as if they never reached the ears of Feng Yi Lan.


    "No need for anything such today. And about …" Feng Yi Lan was in an urgency to reach Li Xue and knowing her friend''s ns well for the day, she could not let the man tag along, especially after knowing that Li Xue wanted to hide these things from her brother.


    But as if the Devil always had ways to ruin the ns of the angel. She was about to make a cut movement in her steps to walk past the man and dodge him out her way when her footing stumbled someway to make her take the fall. Her eyes went closed, sensing theing pain before, as she prepared herself. The moment she thought that she would hit the ground, an arm came to wrap around her, preventing her from falling.


    "Are you okay?" Qi Shuai asked. His voice,ced with anxiousness.


    Feng Yi Lan nodded, opening her eyes to look at him. "Yep, I am alright. Thank you for helping me". She said before straightening herself to keep her pace ready to go. But just when she thought she was saved and would be able to slide off, a metallic nking sound hitting the floor paused everything around.


    She doesn''t need to see what it was that hit the floor. Just feeling theck of weight in her jacket''s pocket was letting her know that her secret was out to the eyes of Qi Shuai. Her eyes horridly looked at the man at the front and then followed her gaze towards the floor where thetest designed pistol was lying all barely on the show.


    Quickly bending down, she thought to lift it and run away, but the man was quicker than her. Before she could reach, the man seized the weapon into his hands.


    "LanLan, what is this? You are carrying a gun with you?" He asked. His voice suddenly got all firm, cold and serious, nothing like what he was sounding moments before. Just seeing his tone change, Yi Lan knew that jokes should now be kept apart.


    "I … I got this from …"


    "Yi Lan, I need not to know from where you got this. I am just asking you what is this doing with you?" Qi Shuai growled lowly, already at the edge to lose his patience. Just one look at the gun and he already knew that this was the weapon manufactured in their own armspany to provide the defence forces of the Feng family. What he wanted to know was the intention which has made her take the dangerous thing into her hands.

    At the same time, under the dazzling light of the casino club, Da – Xia announced with some excitement in her voice as her eyes caught the bulky silhouette of the man from the distance, "Sying, he is here. Mr Han is here. Be ready!"
