Shen Ningyuan seemed to have noticed Guard Zhou's embarrassment and collapse.

Not only did he not show any sympathy or pity, but the corners of his lips curled up and his laughter was crisp and pleasant.

"Guard Zhou, you are loyal and dedicated to the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone has seen it. You will definitely not let me down, right?"

At this point, Shen Ningyuan changed the subject and his expression instantly darkened.

"If I find out that someone is betraying their own people, don't blame me for reporting it to Jingzhao Prefecture. There are always a few places in this world where you can seek justice, mother-in-law, don't you agree?"

Chen was called out of the blue and reflexively nodded.

After a few breaths, he finally realized the meaning of Shen Ningyuan's words.

The originally pampered and well-maintained wealthy face now became hideous and distorted, looking terrifying!

He glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely like a demon.

I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Shen Ningyuan was not afraid of such a look at all.

On the contrary, the smile on her face became more charming and ostentatious.

"Alright! It's late at night. Butler, send someone to clean up this place. Everyone else, just do what you need to do!"

After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back into the house in a cool manner.

The door slowly closed, blocking out the extremely complicated gazes from everyone.

She didn't walk far, but leaned against the door, listening attentively to the noise outside.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the people outside the house came to their senses.

No matter what he was thinking, he didn't show it on his face.

Everyone did their job and soon dispersed.

Under the housekeeper's arrangement, a servant quickly cleaned up the corpse and bloodstains at the door.

In less than a cup of tea, the outside of the door became completely silent.

Shen Ningyuan sneered, with countless mockery in his eyes.

As expected!

It takes another evildoer to deal with evildoers!

In this world, good people don't live long.

Only the wicked can fight their way out of this cannibalistic mansion!

And she, Shen Ningyuan, will be the worst among the worst.

Protect the people you want to protect.

Ensure their peaceful, prosperous and glorious life.

He walked slowly into the inner room, and the smile on his lips froze instantly.

Shen Ningyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

My good mood disappeared completely.

Xie Wanzhou was seen sitting at the table leisurely and contentedly.

It was as if he was the owner of this room.

The slender and powerful palm was stroking the handle of the big knife that was shining with a cold light.

The candlelight on the table shone on his face, half hidden in the darkness and half in the dim light.

The whole person is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, or like a terrifying beast that is suppressing its bloodthirstiness but can suddenly attack and eat people at any time.

When Shen Ningyuan saw the frightening aura emanating from him, for some reason, she suddenly felt her throat dry.

With his eyes slightly lowered, his mood was dark and difficult to discern.

Fortunately, these inexplicable emotions come quickly and go away even faster.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ningyuan adjusted her mentality, walked to the table calmly, and sat down opposite him.

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of cold tea.

She picked up the teacup with her delicate hands, tilted her head back and took a big gulp.

Finally relieved the dryness in my throat.

Shen Ningyuan played with the teacup in her hand and spoke nonchalantly.

"How come you're here so timely tonight?"

It's a test and I want an answer.

The timing of Xie Wanzhou's appearance was just perfect.

If Shen Ningyuan didn't know him well, it would be difficult for her not to doubt the purpose of his appearance here.

Cooperation requires openness and honesty.

If either party deceives others, the cooperation will naturally not be able to continue.

Another reason why she asked so directly was that until now, she had not seen Yi Ge, Lan Yin and others.

Not to mention the secret guards who are protecting in the dark.

Where are they now?

Life or death?

There were too many questions lingering in Shen Ningyuan's mind.

And she inexplicably had a hunch that Xie Wanzhou must know something?

Just now, after the noise in the yard completely died down, she searched the entire Xiyuanju almost thoroughly, but didn't see those people at all.

This is really abnormal!

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be another hidden story.

Xie Wanzhou slowly raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him intently.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he could see directly into the depths of her soul.

Shen Ningyuan stared at the pressing gaze, her brows slightly furrowed.

I don't understand why he is staring at me so closely.

"But I doubt you. It's really because the timing of your appearance is too coincidental..."

There is no need to say the rest, everyone knows it.

Xie Wanzhou suddenly laughed.

He was born with a pair of passionate and romantic eyes.

At this moment, the smile faded, the coldness in the eyes gradually dissipated, and was replaced by spring.

"Chen Ningyuan."

He called her softly, gently and affectionately.

There is an unbreakable deep affection in the depths of his eyes, as well as a hint of indescribable darkness.

For some reason, Chen Ningyuan suddenly felt her throat become even more thirsty, just like the dry land that had not received a drop of water for three years, so thirsty that it was about to smoke.

She looked away somewhat unnaturally, avoiding his deep and dark gaze.

She bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, her eyes wandering. "You, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? The timing of your appearance is indeed a bit coincidental."
