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

Nangong Xianyue did not blame her, but asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Uh..." The girl glanced at Qiaoisha and said nothing.

"Just say it directly." Nangong Xianyue ignored her gaze and gave the order directly.

The girl opened the black file bag in her hand, took out a stack of A4 paper and handed it to Nangong Xianyue, "Master, I have found some clues about the island you asked me to investigate."

Nangong Xianyue read through them one by one and nodded, "What do you mean?"

"This island is called Yezhu Island, but it is more famous by another name, Hell City. Hell City is a large casino and underground trading place. All the guests there are desperate criminals and bandits, or people who are not worthy of being seen in public. In short, it is a place full of demons. As for the actual controller, we only know that it is a woman."

Joysa was listening at the side and felt it was novel. She thought that there were such places in the world and she was really uninformed.

Nangong Xianyue flicked the paper and asked, "Woman?"

"Yes, it is said that no one has seen her, but a few people know her code name, which is 'Wisteria'. They call her Madam Wisteria."

Some people think that wisteria is an ambitious flower. It grows quickly, has strong vitality, and is good at clinging to surrounding supports, expanding its growth range as quickly as possible.

Of course, these meanings are anthropomorphic, and plants have no real intentions, they just reproduce naturally.

But the code name chosen by the so-called Madam Wisteria was obviously creative and well-thought-out.

“You’re quite ambitious.” Nangong Xianyue said with a smile.

"This Hell City is not well-known. Among the guests, besides the people I mentioned earlier, there is another kind of..." She stopped here.

"what?"

"Among them are members of the royal families and nobles from the five continents of East, West, South, North and Center."

"The obstacles we encountered during our investigation were unprecedented. I'm afraid the other party's background is not simple."

Nangong Xianyue nodded, placed the information in her hand on the table, and tapped it lightly with her fingers.

"Master, are you interested in that Hell Island?" The girl smiled.

Nangong Xianyue showed an interested look, "Unfortunately, I can't go there in person."

Hell Island is not under the jurisdiction of Xizhou. It is located between Xizhou and Nanzhou. To be more precise, it is closer to Nanzhou.

As the ruler of a country, Nangong Xianyue certainly cannot go to these places. His previous hobbies as the patriarch of the Nangong family, he now has to abandon them one by one. Now that he is in this position, he must take on the responsibilities that come with it.

"I'll look around for you and bring you back any new stuff I find." The girl smiled.

Qiao Yisha on the side couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart at their tacit understanding. With just one glance, the girl could tell that Nangong Xianyue was interested in Hell Island, and she joked so easily, saying that she would bring him some new toys.

"Please stop investigating for now and don't go there for now."

"Okay, sir. Do you have any other instructions?"

"Go back and rest first. I'll tell you if there's anything else."

The girl nodded, but did not leave. She looked at Qiao Yisha and said, "Master, this is..."

"She is Isa, you can call her Madam..." Nangong Xianyue hadn't finished speaking when he saw Qiao Isa frowning. He continued, "Or Miss Isa."

"Ah... OK, OK," the girl nodded blankly, "Hello, Miss Isa, my name is Baiquan."

"Hello." Joysa nodded indifferently.

"Then I'll withdraw first." Bai Quan said to Nangong Xianyue.

"Ah."

Bai Quan turned around and went out. Just before he disappeared at the door, he turned his head to look at Qiaoisha with an indescribable emotion in his eyes, or at least in Qiaoisha's eyes, it was cold.

But she didn't take it to heart. After dinner, she went downstairs by herself and took a walk to promote digestion.

Outside the back door downstairs is the garden, which is magnificent in scale, with all kinds of flowers competing for beauty, like a gorgeous painting.

In the center of the garden is a clear fountain with splashing water that is crystal clear.

The fountain is surrounded by a circle of green lawns, like emeralds inlaid on the ground. Not far away, three or two servants are taking care of the flowers and plants. It is like a peaceful and beautiful landscape painting.

However, the tranquility was soon broken. A slight sound slowly approached. Joysa turned her head and saw a girl in a white long dress walking over. The back of her skirt brushed the grass under her feet. Her steps were slow and her posture was proud.

If Joysa hadn't seen this girl not long ago, she would have thought she was a princess.

"Ms. Isa, do you mind taking a walk together?" The person who came was Bai Quan, and she asked Qiao Isa with a casual smile.

"If I say it's inconvenient, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for you? After all, you came here specifically to see me." She knew it very well.

Baiquan did not refute.

The two of them walked on the lawn together. Baiquan led her around and introduced the places to her when they arrived at a place. It was obvious that he knew the place very well.

Qiaosha just nodded in response, not showing much interest.

"By the way..." Baiquan looked at her, "Aren't you curious about me?"

"What are you curious about?"

"We look a bit alike, don't we? Especially now, we're both wearing white dresses that cover our faces and hair, it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing. I don't know if I look like you, or like..." Bai Quan smiled and didn't continue.

“True and false, false and true. The real cannot become false, and the false cannot become true. It is similar, but it is not the same.”

"You're quite open-minded, that's good." Bai Quan nodded and continued walking with his arm around her.

Joysa noticed a bunch of red flowers, which were gorgeous and seductive. There was nothing unusual about that. The key point was that the flowers were very large, with buds as big as a human head, rhizomes thicker than fingers, and vines entwined around the fence. Among the green leaves, the red flowers were dazzling.

Baiquan saw her staring at the flowers, smiled and explained, "This flower blooms once every three years, but it can bloom for a week at a time. The gardener likes it very much and takes special care of these vines."

"It's really beautiful," said Joysa.

"Originally, the vine that occupies this plot of land was a vine with purple flowers, but unfortunately, it was killed by the new servant. The gardener was very sad, so he found a second choice, a vine with red flowers. He said that although it was inferior, it could replace the purple vine, so as not to waste this fertile soil."

Qiao Yisha heard the implication in her words and sneered, "It can be replaced so easily, it seems that I didn't like it that much in the first place."

"It's empty anyway, so we can't just waste this piece of land. I think the gardener will remove these red flower vines when he has a better choice in the future."

"The vine is unlucky to have such a ruthless gardener. If it were me, I should quickly climb and spread to other places while the gardener is not paying attention, to try to survive, rather than waiting to die in comfort. But unfortunately, plants are plants, and they can't think like humans."

Baiquan chuckled, her voice clear and crisp, "Ms. Isa, you are so interesting. I really can't argue with you. You are very smart." She restrained her smile, "But if you understand what I mean, you should know what to do."
