Chapter 404 406 Found

Several soldiers brought a stretcher and placed Lan Shuang on it. Xiao Jin lowered her head, her hands trembling a little. She wanted to scream and shout, and wanted to use that man's blood to vent her hatred, but she couldn't. She was no match for them. She didn't even dare to look up, pretending to accept that the young lady died of illness. She couldn't let them see her resentful eyes.

After Ning Qingtian sent someone to take Lan Shuang away, the banquet continued, but the atmosphere was very different from before. The people on the scene spoke in lower tones, and their movements were somewhat restrained. When they looked furtively in the direction of Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun, their expressions were full of inquiry and curiosity.

Rong Xianxian and the others knew each other before and had traveled together. Although this woman's team had few people, all of them were masters. In addition, she was good at refining pills and making talismans, and seemed to have some relationship with the leader of the large force. So even though they knew that she was recruiting people and threatening the stability of their respective teams, they still kept their distance from her and did not dare to provoke her easily.

Now it seems that it is fortunate that they did not provoke her rashly. The extraordinary man sitting next to Dr. Rong claimed to be her husband, and Dr. Rong did not refute him. The man who had previously raised his hand and injured an officer also spoke rudely to Chief of Staff Wen. Although the chief of staff looked unhappy, he did not do anything to him. As for Captain Ning on the mercenary side, he was even more afraid of him, and seemed to look at him cautiously.

Yang Chao originally thought that Ning Qingtian must have cared about Lan Shuang because she sought medical treatment and medicine for her. However, Ning Qingtian seemed to be indifferent to Lan Shuang's physical condition at this time. After Lan Shuang was taken away from the scene, Ning Qingtian continued to drink and chat, without any sign of sadness, let alone whether she would hold a grudge against Rong Xianxian.

He really didn't expect that Ning Qingyun would suddenly appear at the scene. Ning Qingyun's identity as an illegitimate child made the Ning family's orthodox lineage regard him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. This was because he was not a good person.

Yang Chao had previously learned about the relationship between Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun from the people on the Ning family's red list, and had received the Ning family's promise to marry their daughter to him, so he agreed to use his own resources to help Qian Rufeng and others hide their tracks. But now Ning Qingyun actually came here. I wonder if something will happen to Qian Rufeng?

Yang Chao greeted Wen Qingming absentmindedly, asked to go and look after the subordinate who was injured by Ning Qingyun, and left.

"Chief of Staff, if we just stand by and watch what happened today, will Captain Yang Chao have any objection to you for this?" Wen Qingming's confidant whispered in his ear.

"It doesn't matter whether he has an opinion or not. Do I have to act according to his mood?" Wen Qingming snorted unhappily.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that, after all, he is working under you now. If you don't help him, won't the others feel insecure? Will this affect your prestige?" said the confidant worriedly.

"Yang Chao secretly set up a trap to plot against the guests I invited. Do you think I still have any prestige in his eyes? We will be arriving in the capital soon, and they will all return to their respective regiments. I will also have to return to the General Staff Headquarters. I will not be able to control their evaluations in the future. Everyone should go back to their own homes. In that case, why should I care so much?" Wen Qingming sneered. Although he had a high rank, he belonged to a different department from Yang Chao and others, and they would not have much overlap in work in the future.

"These are just some guesses. Besides, Captain Yang Chao has done his best along the way and has done nothing wrong..."

"That's why I gave him some face. If the officers under him had not been injured, would I have let him off so easily if he hadn't made such a small move at my banquet?" Wen Qingming said with a stern face.

"I think that Mr. Ning Qi's attitude towards you..." Wen Qingming's confidant looked in the direction of Ning Qingyun with an uneasy expression.

"Okay, I know you feel unfair for me, but we do have to take some responsibility for what happened today. Besides, Ning Qingyun is someone Minister Yan likes and he has always wanted to recruit him under his command. Moreover, Ning Qingyun has extremely high combat power and is not someone who can be easily provoked. We are in the wrong now, so don't worry about these little things." Wen Qingming patted his subordinate on the shoulder and said.

"Boss, the maid next to Miss Lan must hate Madam and us. She was very emotional just now." He Wen looked at Xiao Jin who was leaving the banquet room with her head lowered, and whispered to Ning Qingyun.

"Go back and tell Huo Ye to find someone to kill her as soon as possible." Ning Qingyun responded.

After the banquet, Ning Qingyun and Zi Ting followed Rong Xianxian out of the military compound. Seeing that there were no outsiders nearby, he was about to go up to talk to her, but he saw He Wen, who had just left, running to Ning Qingyun.

"Boss Huo said that the two missing team members have been found, but they are already dead." He Wen said directly without caring that Rong Xianxian was not far away.

"Where did you find it? What's going on?" Ning Qingyun asked with a grim expression.

"We found it in an abandoned cellar. Judging from the condition of the body, he was probably strangled to death and then pushed down. Also, two more members of Team 3 led by An Xuhui are missing." He Wen said with a worried look on her face.

Ning Qingyun's face had turned ashen.

"Has the scope of disappearance of the two latest missing persons been determined?" Ning Qingyun asked.

"It's confirmed. They disappeared in the area near where the bodies of the two team members were found." He Wen replied, and handed a map of the area near the scene of the incident to Ning Qingyun.

"Then what are we waiting for? Pass the order down. Search the scene inch by inch. Send all our people there. Act as a group. Don't be left alone." Ning Qingyun said coldly without looking at the map carefully.

"Captain, I'm afraid that's not possible." Zi Ting saw the map that He Wen brought with his sharp eyes.

"With too many people, it's easy to reveal our whereabouts. Besides, there is a pharmaceutical factory, a high-end residential area, and a soilless planting center nearby, all of which are heavily guarded. It's easy for our people to get in, but it would be dangerous if we are discovered. According to the relevant regulations of the safe zone, those places can deal with intruders on their own if they find them." Zi Ting said, pointing to the map in Ning Qingyun's hand.

Their team arrived two months earlier than Ning Qingyun and were very familiar with every area in the safe zone. He only took a quick glance and saw the special features around this location.

"Then let's go back and discuss countermeasures now. At worst, I can take a few people to turn the place upside down." Ning Qingyun was thinking that if the defenses were really tight, he could turn those places upside down by himself.

Ning Qingyun secretly made up his mind and walked up to say goodbye to Rong Xianxian and leave.
