Ning Mu froze, a strange light suddenly emanating from his eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse, "You... just... what did you just say?"

Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Mu's reaction and sneered, "What are you still pretending?"

"You clearly knew about this outcome a few days ago. Why did you make a fuss at this moment? Aren't you deliberately trying to cover it up for her?"

Shen Jingyi simply didn't believe that Ning Mu didn't know about this.

But at this moment, a hint of surprise appeared on Ning Mu's face.

"She... is still alive? Sister is still alive!"

Ning Mu murmured and slumped to the ground.

After seeing Ning Mu's reaction, Shen Jingyi frowned again, "It will be boring if I continue acting?"

But Ning Mu seemed not to hear what Shen Jingyi said, muttering "still alive.", "still alive.", and then kept grinning foolishly.

Ever since Ning Mu learned that her elder sister died in the dungeon and no remains were found, she lost the will to live, which is why she deliberately tried to provoke Shen Jingyi.

To Ning Mu, Ning Wan is his everything.

Although his elder sister hated him, he didn't think she had done anything wrong.

The fact is that he killed his mother.

If it weren't for him, his elder sister would have been happily serving as the Princess of Anping. It was he who messed it all up.

He couldn't protect his own elder sister, so how could he have the face to live in this world, especially in such a miserable way.

But he didn't expect Shen Jingyi to bring him such great news.

He didn't want to die anymore. His elder sister would need him. He was his sister's only support. He couldn't let her down, absolutely not.

Shen Jingyi didn't care about Ning Mu's reaction and waved.

The guards behind him suddenly rushed in and began to search the room extensively.

Table, screen, bed, wardrobe...

No place where people could hide was left untouched.

During this period, Ning Mu did not make any move to stop the group of people.

A stick of incense passed quickly, and Shen Jingyi's expression became worse and worse.

Until the guards came one by one to report that they had not found the person, Shen Jingyi's face became extremely bad.

Except for Ning Mu, who was still smiling, everyone else on the ground had a look of despair on their faces.

But Shen Jingyi didn't seem to have any intention of killing anyone now. He just looked around and turned away in a hurry.

"Hahaha, my sister isn't here with me. You won't be able to find her even if you try hard."

Ning Mu sneered at Shen Jingyi who returned disappointed after failing to find anyone.

He had long disliked Shen Jingyi.

If it wasn't for his elder sister wanting him to be a prince consort, he wouldn't agree.

Ning Mu thought that his elder sister had escaped, but he didn't expect that his elder sister was sleeping on Shen Jingyi's bed.

At this moment, Ning Wan, who was far away in the bedroom, suddenly sneezed. She subconsciously raised her hand to rub it, and then shrank a little deeper into the quilt.

Then there was another burst of electronic sound, but Ning Wan, who was in her dream, completely ignored it.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Wan suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming towards her.

She opened her eyes dazedly, but was frightened and jumped up suddenly by Shen Jingyi who was sitting at the head of the bed.

Shen Jingyi raised his hand, and Ning Wan shrank back.

"What are you hiding from?"

Shen Jingyi withdrew his hand and adjusted his sleeves a few times, as if he didn't see the vigilance in Ning Wan's eyes.

It was only then that Ning Wan realized that the man in front of her was the target of her mission, and she was still in his bed.

Wait, something seems off. Why did she use such a metaphorical phrase to describe their relationship?

"I think you're dirty, okay?"

Ning Wan's voice was a little trembling and stuttering, and her eyes were darting around, but she didn't look at Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi chuckled as if he had heard a joke, "Which one is dirty?"

Shen Jingyi asked very seriously, even implying that Ning Wan would have no chance of escaping if she couldn't give an answer.

Ning Wan's neck stiffened, and then she raised her finger and pointed at Shen Jingyi's feet, "If you don't believe me, look for yourself."

I saw that the hem of Shen Jingyi's dark clothes had become a little darker, and the edge of his shoes was stained with bright blood.

Ning Wan knew without further ado that the man must have just returned from a crime scene. Adding to the look he'd just given her, she reasonably assumed this was the scene of her crime.

Thinking of this, Ning Wan's hand unconsciously pulled the quilt closer.

I don’t know if my death would be considered a work-related injury?

[Host, please note that if you die before completing your mission, you will be truly dead and will not be able to return to the real world.]

Xiao Qi, who was always paying attention to Ning Wan, noticed the host's negative emotions and quickly reminded him.

“Is this dirty?”

"Have you, Princess, forgotten what you did before?"

"Your hands are stained with as much blood as mine."

While talking, Shen Jingyi kept paying attention to the changes in Ning Wan's face.

He wanted to see how much of the princess's memories this wild ghost had inherited.

"That's what they deserve."

At the critical moment, a panel popped out again.

There was only a hint on the panel.

Please say it in a haughty, contemptuous manner with a hint of fear.

She understands the previous one, but is afraid? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?

But Ning Wan didn't worry too much about it. After all, she was acting, but whether Shen Jingyi could see it or not was none of her business.

Shen Jingyi looked at the wild ghost who couldn't even say a harsh word and stretched out his hand again.

But this time Ning Wan didn't dodge it.

He rubbed Ning Wan's head, and with another sudden move, he grabbed Ning Wan's jaw.

"Tell me, where did you go just now?"

The person who changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book is probably Shen Jingyi.

Ning Wan took a breath and glared at Shen Jingyi.

I really don't understand where this habit of threatening others when angry comes from. Haven't you heard that a gentleman does not show his emotions on his face or express his feelings in words?

Unfortunately, Shen Jingyi believed that everything was nothing in the face of absolute force, and he would never engage in verbal disputes if he could take action.

"Don't tell me you've been here all the time." Shen Jingyi said as he increased the strength in his hands.

He looked at Ning Wan, who had no ability to resist, without feeling any sympathy.

She could hide without anyone noticing and make herself untraceable, and she could also lie in bed and wait for him to come back as if nothing had happened.

What is out of control should be destroyed.

Ning Wan naturally couldn't let Shen Jingyi strangle her to death, and after struggling for several times, she finally broke free from Shen Jingyi's hand.

Ning Wan looked at Shen Jingyi, who was brimming with murderous intent, and said unhappily, "I'm taking a shower! Taking a shower! Taking a shower! Do you understand?"

After saying that, Ning Wan glared at Shen Jingyi fiercely again.

Shen Jingyi looked at the angry Ning Wan and said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry."
