Dashing Student-Chapter 451 - , Chen Nan Gets Captured

At three o’clock in the early morning, Chen Nan slowly arrived at the Three Immortals Mountain scenic area.

At this time, the world seemed to be enveloped by a layer of tranquil gauze, utterly silent.

The gate of the scenic area, against the dim night, appeared extraordinarily solemn and dignified, with the carvings on the pillars faintly revealing an antique charm under the weak starlight.

Chen Nan parked the car, opened the door, and stepped out.

The sky was full of stars that shone like dazzling jewels embedded in the vast, boundless heavens, twinkling bright and dim, gathering and scattering.

Some stars hung high in the sky like bright lanterns, so bright and dazzling that they seemed to light up the dark night sky.

Others resembled finely ground diamond dust, densely clustered together, twinkling with faint light and weaving into mysterious and beautiful patterns.

The Milky Way stretched overhead like a river flowing with star sand, ethereal and majestic, with countless stars within.

They reflected off each other, making the entire Milky Way appear like a band emitting a faint blue glow, piercing the entire night sky and adding endless depth and mystery to this profound universe.

Under the reflection of the stars, Three Immortals Mountain’s outline appeared even more majestic and mysterious.

The trees on the mountain were lush, gently swaying in the breeze and making rustling sounds as if whispering to the stars.

The lake at the foot of the mountain resembled a giant mirror, its calm surface reflecting the stars in the sky and the dark silhouettes of surrounding mountains, blurring together where water meets sky, indistinguishable whether it was sky or water.

Occasionally, a night bird flew overhead, breaking the silence of the night sky, its dark shadow flashed under the starlight and then disappeared into the distant woods.

Amidst this starry sky and landscape, Chen Nan’s worries did not dissipate, but the natural grandeur provided some solace.

He took a deep breath of the cold, pure air, the cool sensation flowing through his respiratory tract straight to his heart, invigorating his spirit.

Immediately, he walked with determined and firm steps towards the Luming Inn, situated halfway up the mountain.

Just then, without warning, two figures flashed in the darkness.

The two men were quite thin, with cold and sharp eyes, radiating a robust aura of vigor; their eyes conveyed a menacing smile, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Ha, I really didn’t expect you to have the guts to come here; I underestimated you!" one of the men said with a smirk, sizing up Chen Nan from head to toe, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Lead the way ahead!" Chen Nan’s expression remained calm, his face showing no waves.

"Hold on, don’t hurry!" the man drawled, then slowly rummaged in his chest and pulled out a shiny pair of handcuffs.

At the same time, the other man quickly took out a heavy set of leg irons from his side, their metal clanging coldly and clearly.

Seeing this, Chen Nan’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face: "Doesn’t seem necessary to make such a big fuss, does it?"

"Why not?" The man retorted nonchalantly, sarcastically remarking, "Your strength shouldn’t be underestimated. We brothers have to guard against unforeseen circumstances. If you try any tricks along the way, we can’t handle it!"

The other man, with a sycophantic smile on his face, stepped forward and persuasively said with a grin, "Mr. Chen, just obediently put on the handcuffs and leg irons. Otherwise, you won’t get to see Chu Qi."

Chen Nan’s gaze instantly turned as cold as a knife, a tangible oppressive aura radiating from him: "Do you think such trinkets can trap me?"

The two men were slightly shaken by Chen Nan’s aura, but still forced themselves to appear calm.

The man holding the handcuffs snorted coldly: "Chen Nan, stop being stubborn here. This is an order from above. If you don’t cooperate today, don’t expect to have it easy."

Chen Nan curled the corners of his mouth with a mocking arc: "From above? You mean the hiders of the Suoming Sect?"

As he spoke, he slowly stepped forward. The step appeared gentle, but it seemed to make the ground slightly tremble.

The two men, seeing this, gripped the torture instruments in their hands nervously, as if facing a great enemy.

Another man shouted, "Don’t mess around, otherwise we will notify our superiors now, and make Chu Qi’s life worse than death!"

Chen Nan stopped in his tracks, his fists silently clenching at his sides, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His heart burned with rage, but he couldn’t help but concern for Chu Qi’s safety.

After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hands: "Fine, I’ll cooperate with you temporarily, but you better ensure Chu Qi is unharmed. Otherwise, I will make the entire Suoming Sect pay a painful price."

The two men sighed in relief, cautiously approaching Chen Nan, fearful he might suddenly change his mind. They quickly put the handcuffs and shackles on Chen Nan, and only relaxed a bit after confirming they were secure.

"Let’s go, stop dawdling," the man pushed Chen Nan.

They continued along the winding mountain path, and after half an hour,

A quaint building hidden deep in the forest appeared up ahead—this was their destination: Luming Inn.

The silhouette of the building under the dim starlight seemed gloomy and mysterious, with a pervading sense of oppression.

Arriving at the entrance of Luming Inn, the two men stopped, and one of them stepped forward to knock on the door.

The heavy knocks echoed through the silent night.

After a moment, the door slowly opened, a dim yellow light shone out, landing on Chen Nan.

"Bring him in," a woman’s cold voice came from inside.

Chen Nan was pushed and shoved into the room; he quickly scanned around, noticing the interior was simply decorated yet exuded an aura of authority.

His gaze moved and landed on a woman in her thirties sitting in the center.

She was dressed in a tight black Cheongsam that accentuated her curvaceous figure.

The neckline opened just right, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white skin.

Her collarbones were delicate and distinct, like a pair of elegant butterfly wings, shimmering in the light with enchanting shadows.

Her face was like a carefully crafted work of art, with eyebrows like distant daubs, long and slightly upturned, and deep, bright eyes that seemed to hold endless stories and allure.

Her eyes lazily exuded seductiveness, and beneath her high nose bridge were luscious red lips.

Her slightly upturned lips held a hint of a smile that made one feel an impulse to bite.

Her long, black and glossy hair cascaded down her shoulders smoothly, with a few playful curls brushing over her cheeks as smooth as mutton fat jade.

She sat elegantly with her legs crossed, her shapely legs wrapped by the Cheongsam, adding an extra touch of mystery and allure.

Chen Nan looked at her calmly: "Where is Chu Qi?"
