Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

Chapter 290 Are Still Alive

In the mysterious and solemn castle, a handsome man woke up from his big bed, his open nightgown revealed his muscular chest, which was heaving violently.

In his dream, he saw Joysa falling off a cliff, and Joysa's screams from the abyss seemed to still linger in his ears.

Nangong Xianyue took the phone and dialed it. A moment later Qiu Yi walked in.

"Master, you just fell asleep, why did you wake up so soon?"

Nangong Xianyue's narrow eyes were bloodshot as she answered the question irrelevantly: "How is the situation in Hell City?"

Qiu Yi shook his head: "It is still under a complete blockade, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and all the private planes sent over have been intercepted. It's not just our Nangong family, the nobles and royal families of other continents are treated the same way. They are not afraid of offending anyone."

The purpose of their doing this is just to trap Joysa. What is her current identity?

"How's the investigation into Isa's background going?"

"I was just about to report this to you. Frank has been following your orders recently and is focusing on investigating the South Continent. It is possible that Sister Isa has a relationship with the South Continent royal family, but it has not yet been confirmed."

"Send a message to the royal family of Nanzhou and tell them that the Nangong family will visit soon."

"Yes."

-

"what--"

Qiaosha screamed in mid-air. As she fell, her desire to survive made her keep reaching out, trying to grab some life-saving straw. Chi Yuan beside her had already disappeared without a trace.

She broke vine after vine, and her body was cut by the tangled branches and rocks. She even felt that her soul was no longer in this body, and she was numb from the pain.

She didn't know whether she was still alive or how she landed.

When she opened her eyes, it was no longer dark and she could see everything around her clearly. She was at the bottom of the cliff.

She was amazed at her luck as she didn't die.

She lay flat on the ground and tried to move, which caused the wounds all over her body to rip, making her scream in pain.

His chest heaved violently and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Since I am not dead, what about Natsuko and Ikehara?

She could clearly feel the wounds on her body bleeding. Her mind was foggy due to excessive blood loss and her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. She could only force herself not to fall asleep.

After a while, she turned around and saw the bag she had carried out of the villa. It was still there, not far from her.

Joysa was delighted. She endured the severe pain, struggled to get up, hunched over, limped over, sat down on the ground, leaned her back against the rock, took the backpack, unzipped it and looked for the medicine inside.

The backpack is of very good quality. Apart from being covered in mud, the items inside are well protected.

Her arms and legs were already bloody and she screamed in pain during the disinfection. Veins on her temples bulged and cold sweat covered her jaw.

After roughly disinfecting and bandaging the area, Joysa was almost out of strength. She leaned against the rock, gasping for breath, with her eyes half closed.

After resting for a few minutes, I took out the water from the backpack, unscrewed the lid with great effort, tilted my head back and drank half of the bottle to replenish my energy.

He picked up a thick branch to use as a crutch and limped to find an exit.

Less than ten meters out, I saw a black windbreaker hanging on a tree branch in the sky. It was the same type that Natsuko and Ikehara were wearing.

Qiaosha immediately started looking around, holding on to a glimmer of hope, maybe it was Xia Zi, maybe she was lucky enough to survive like herself.

After walking a few steps forward, Joysa opened her eyes wide and saw a short-haired woman lying under a tree with her eyes closed. Her clothes were as tattered as Joysa's, and one of her legs was folded in a strange posture.

Qiaoisha walked over quickly, leaning on a branch, and knelt beside Xia Zi, reaching out to feel her pulse.

"Still alive..." Qiaoisha forced a weak smile, with light flashing in her eyes.

She took off her backpack, took out some water from it, helped Xia Zi up and poured it into her mouth.

Then he took out the medicines, stopped Xia Zi's bleeding, disinfected and bandaged her.

After treating the skin injuries, Qiao Yisha carefully bent Xia Zi's broken leg back and fixed it with branches and cloth strips.

After doing everything, Qiaoisha was already out of breath. She leaned against the rock and looked down at Xia Zi lying on her legs.

"Be strong and wake up. We can definitely get out."

Although she didn't know why Xia Zi went against Ikehara for her, it still helped her, so she naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

When Xia Zi hurt Nangong Xianyue, she really hated Xia Zi to the core and wanted to kill her immediately to vent her anger, but now...

After going through so much, she couldn't bear to be cruel to Xia Zi.

Qiao Yisha closed her eyes and rested. Thinking of Nangong Xianyue, her nose felt sore. She almost... almost broke her promise and never saw him again.

Before I could feel sad for too long, my stomach suddenly started growling.

Joysa lifted Xia Zi's head up, replaced her legs with the backpack for her to use as a pillow, stood up and looked around, walked a distance and found that there was nothing here except mud, vines, rocks and branches.

She looked back at Xia Zi and didn't dare to go far, for fear that she would be attacked by wild beasts.

After thinking about it, he turned back and let Xia Zi lie on his lap again. He rummaged through the bag and found a few chocolates and biscuits inside.

Joysa opened the package, broke off a piece, and put the rest back. She didn't know how long she would have to stay here before she could go out, so she had to use it sparingly.

After eating the chocolate, Qiaosha fell asleep in a daze.

In her sleep, she felt her legs move. She immediately opened her eyes and found that Xia Zi was awake.

"Xia Zi, you're awake, how are you?"

Xia Zi's eyes were half open, she felt drowsy, and was in great pain all over, especially her legs. She was completely unable to move. She lowered her eyes and looked around, and found that her body was bandaged in many places and her legs were fixed.

"All this..." She said in a weak and hoarse voice, "You did all this."

Qiao Yisha took out some water and fed it to her. "Could there be a third person here?"

Xia Zi swallowed the water and looked up at her with great effort, "Don't expect me to thank you."

"Okay, shut up," Joysa rolled her eyes at her, "If you weren't still angry, I would have left a long time ago."

Xia Zi was silent for a while. Qiao Yisha thought she would not speak anymore. She suddenly said softly, "You still have time to leave now. I didn't plan to survive."

"Aren't you very strong-willed? Why are you acting so abnormally today? You actually attacked your subordinates just for me."

"I'm not doing this for you, I really want him to die." Xia Zi's voice trembled as she thought of something.

"what happened?"

"During the time when I was locked up by you, he killed my parents. If you hadn't taken my brother away, perhaps he would have also..." Xia Zi closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"What? Isn't he your subordinate? How dare you?"

"Of course he didn't dare, so he instigated discord in front of our master, and she believed it - no, whether she believed it or not, she didn't need a reason to kill people, so she ordered Chi Yuan, the man just now, to kill my parents."
