Chapter 398 None of them will go back

The whiteboard listed the three sides of the attack, along with names, including the names of the two brothers-in-law, Huo Shenyuan, and Lu Qinglin. Nan Wan stayed in Qingcheng, only lending people to the city and not engaging in battle; her mission was to guard herself.

There was also a big Venom and a question mark written on the whiteboard.

The attack will take place at 9 PM two days later.

Suddenly, Huo Shenyuan seemed to sense something was amiss behind him, and he turned around to look towards the second floor.

Qingning disappeared in an instant.

After returning to her room, Qingning couldn't fall asleep again. She stood by the window, looking at the entire garden.

Thinking of that attack map, even if she were stupid, she would guess that they were going to attack the island.

Venom and his accomplices are entrenched on the island.

Ever since Venom kidnapped Xiao Yuyu, a feud has been brewing between them and the Fu family.

A full-scale attack on the island requires taking down Venom, otherwise, endless troubles will follow.

If we fail to capture it, the casualties will be heavy and lives will be hanging by a thread.

Of the four men, two are her brother-in-laws, one is Nanwan's sister's support, and the other is her beloved.

Losing either one is unbearable.

Qingning dared not think any further.

She stood there for a long time until she heard footsteps outside the door, then she quickly lay down on the bed.

Then the door opened, and Huo Shenyuan returned. He went into the bathroom to take a shower, and the sound of water could be heard.

Not long after, she felt the mattress sink behind her. The man behind her lay down, but he didn't immediately get into bed, afraid that the cold would chill her. He simply reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling the blanket and the blanket into his embrace.

Qingning closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, when Qingning woke up, the man beside her was gone.

After she finished washing up and went downstairs, she saw Nanwan and her aunt sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

"Awake?" Nan Wan smiled at her and called out, "Chen Ma, bring up Miss Qingning's breakfast."

"Yes, Miss." A moment later, Chen Ma brought up the exquisite meal.

Qingning took a look and thought it was too exquisite, made like a flower.

Tang Ling said, "This was specially prepared by a nutritionist. Wanwan said you're trying to conceive, so we'll prepare special meals for you in the future."

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Sister Nan."

Qingning was deeply moved, and she said something to Nanwan.

"Sister Nan, please eat with me. There's too much food; we can't finish it all."

Nan Wan smiled and said, "I'm not having children, so I don't need to be pampered like that."

"Sister Nan, let me take your pulse. You don't look too well," Qingning suddenly said.

"You can even take a pulse?" Nan Wan smiled and sat down.

"Of course." Qingning smiled and seriously felt her pulse, the essence of traditional Chinese medicine was already in his mind.

It was indeed a slippery pulse, smooth and flowing, like pearls rolling on a plate.

"Tsk tsk, Sister Nan." Qingning looked surprised.

Tang Ling quickly spoke up, looking anxious, "What's wrong?"

Qingning spoke up, "Sister Nanwan, you used to fight a lot, which damaged your health. You also often drink and stay up late, so you're too weak."

Have you been feeling particularly sleepy lately, and also in a bad mood?

"It seems so." Nan Wan nodded. She was indeed feeling a bit weak, and her period had stopped.

She remembered that when she first took over the Southern Gang, she was fighting every day and had to practice boxing. She didn't have her period for four months. The doctor said that her body was deficient in qi and blood and that she had stopped menstruating. She had to stop and recuperate for half a year before she slowly returned to normal.

"Sister Nan, you can't touch cigarettes or alcohol anymore, and you have to go to bed by 10 p.m. every night, otherwise..." Qingning paused and sighed softly.

"Otherwise what?" Nan Wan frowned slightly.

"Otherwise, it might affect your fertility later on, unless you don't plan to have children..."

"Of course she has to have a baby." Tang Ling interrupted her directly, "Qingning, what do you think we can do to help her adjust? I'll supervise her."

"Who would I have a child with?" Nan Wan smiled. "I don't plan to get married anyway."

"Shut up!" Tang Ling yelled.

"Quit smoking and drinking, adjust your sleep schedule, and eat nutritious meals. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later; it won't work if you drink alcohol." After Qingning finished speaking, she looked at Tang Ling, "Can Auntie supervise her?"

"Okay, leave it to me. You go ahead and have breakfast."

After breakfast, Qingning took out three large boxes of specially made nutritional supplements from the box and handed them to Nanwan.

Tell her to eat the amount specified above; these are all prenatal nutrients specially customized for her by Huo Shenyuan.

"If your period doesn't come, it can cause endocrine disorders and ovarian function to decline," Qingning added, trying to make her take it seriously.

Tang Ling gave her a look, and Nan Wan quickly took over, saying, "I will eat on time."

Qingning smiled.

A short while later, Nan Wan went out.

Qingning locked herself in her room and dialed Gu Xingnian's number.

It was quiet on the other end of the phone. She chatted about everyday things for a while, then suddenly changed the subject.

Is my brother-in-law next to you?

A light laugh came from Gu Xingnian's end.

"I went on a business trip to country A. Something happened at the branch office there, and I probably won't be back for a few days."

"Okay, then take good care of yourself."

Qingning hung up the phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and called Sheng Weiwei again.

When asked about her brother-in-law's whereabouts, Sheng Weiwei gave a similar answer.

“He went to Country F. There’s a project there that’s preparing to go public, and he has to go there to keep an eye on it.”

Qingning ended the call, and the phone screen went dark.

She found out.

Both brothers-in-law were lying; they came secretly.

There were still two hours until lunchtime.

She walked to the door and locked it from the inside with a click.

The next second, he vanished into thin air.

When she reappeared, she was already in the main building of Rage Island, huddled in a dark corner where no one noticed her.

Not far away, a man in his fifties was speaking to an extremely handsome man with a respectful attitude.

"Mr. Mu, rest assured, this time it will be absolutely foolproof. If they dare to come, I guarantee they will not leave alive. The Palace Master has already laid a trap."

The speaker was Lei Zhanjun, the president of the Special Abilities Association.

That's right, he had already sided with Venom.

This time, he also brought five helpers for Venom. Although their abilities weren't top-tier, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

After all, Venom's two most capable fighters had their limbs crippled in Haicheng, so it's time to avenge them all at once.

Suddenly, Lei Zhanjun's phone rang.

He picked it up, glanced at it, and his expression instantly became humble. He answered the call without making a sound.

"Mr. Huo, hello."

"Oh, you've arrived in Qingcheng? What a coincidence, I'm nearby too."

"Okay, okay, I'll be there on time this afternoon."

Lei Zhanjun hung up the phone, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"The fish has taken the bait. I'll go report to the Palace Master first."

Mu Yanchen nodded expressionlessly.

Lei Zhanjun turned and walked into the house, going down to the basement.

He boarded a small underwater submarine and slipped away silently from the bottom of the water.

Qingning followed closely behind.

She saw many huge metal barrels lying in the waters near where the submarine had passed, and she didn't know if they were explosives or some kind of special device.

An hour later, Lei Zhanjun landed at a remote fishing village on the east side.

Good heavens, this is quite a clever trick. My brother-in-law had them surrounded on three sides, but he completely overlooked this inconspicuous little fishing village to the east.

After Lei Zhanjun went ashore, he went straight to a small building. The building was heavily guarded, and every guard had sharp eyes.

He was brought inside only after a thorough body search.

There was a person standing in the room, completely covered from head to toe in a black cloak.

That person is Venom.

The room was brightly lit, so bright it was dazzling, and there was nowhere for Qingning to hide.

Qingning simply went up to the rooftop, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.

As the surrounding noise gradually faded, the content of the conversation inside the room began to clearly enter her mind.

"Palace Master, everything is under control. Fu Beichen, Bai Yu, Huo Shenyuan, and the others have all arrived, along with government officials. They plan to besiege Nunu Island tomorrow night."

"Haha, then let them stay in the ocean forever, and none of them will ever be able to return." Venom's laughter was cold and dry.

"Our informants in Haicheng have also reported back; they've increased security for the Fu family and Gu Xingnian to the highest level. Mu Yanchen's move has indeed been incredibly effective." Lei Zhanjun laughed along. "Our people will make their move tomorrow morning and deliver the hostages to you tonight. They'll never expect us to use a feint."

“Good.” Venom was satisfied. “That Huo Shenyuan must be captured alive and brought to the island. Only with him will Helis obey. As for the others, leave no one alive.”

"Yes." Lei Zhanjun nodded emphatically. "Lord Palace Master, that Helis can breathe underwater. What if she drags you into the sea again this time? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"Hahaha, she couldn't withstand my ultrasound. She almost died at my hands last time. This time, I'm even more prepared."

Venom laughed wildly, having even prepared a makeshift underwater breathing apparatus for himself.

"So, it's still the Palace Master who's brilliant! By tying up Huo Shenyuan, you've forced her into the sea? Once she's in the sea, it's your territory, and she won't be able to cause any more trouble." Lei Zhanjun immediately gave a thumbs up and showered her with praise.

"This time I must seize Helis's energy stone. With her energy, I will be invincible."

Venom looked determined to win.

"Huo Shenyuan asked me to meet him this afternoon. I can test the waters a bit."

"Go! From now on, Qingcheng will be in your hands." Venom made a promise.

Before long, Lei Zhanjun walked through the small fishing village, took a 20-yuan ferry across the bay, and then took a car to Qingcheng.

Qingning followed for a while, then stopped and disappeared in a deserted place.

In an instant, he was back in his room, only to be caught red-handed by Huo Shenyuan, who was standing by the window smoking.

Huo Shenyuan stubbed out his cigarette, walked over, and hugged her tightly.

"Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was?"

Qingning leaned against his warm chest and whispered, "I just strolled around the neighborhood for a bit."

“You must stay with Nan Wan and not wander off. Otherwise, I will put your abilities into hibernation,” he warned.

Qingning reached out and hugged his waist, nodding obediently, "Yes, I understand."

"Will you come with me to go out this afternoon?"

Huo Shenyuan patted her head. "I made an appointment this afternoon. I'll come back tonight and have dinner with you."

"Okay, sure."

Qingning looked up at him and suddenly kissed his lips.

Huo Shenyuan was a little surprised by the girl's initiative. Had she thought about it?

Unexpectedly, at the last step, Qingning pushed him away.

"Don't do anything reckless, or the baby won't be able to get into bed." Qingning smiled.

"Little thing, are you playing with me?" Huo Shenyuan pinched her pretty face.

Qingning looked at the bracelet on his wrist, which had the two energy stones she had given him, and gently stroked it.

“I heard before that my brother-in-law has a very smart assistant. Can I meet him?”

Qingning suddenly asked a question.

"You're probably referring to Chen Sen. He's in Haicheng right now, so you can't see him." Huo Shenyuan smiled. "Your husband is also very smart. If there's anything you can't figure out, talk to me about it."

"Either I go back to Haicheng, or you send Chen Sen to me. It's one of the two options," Qingning said earnestly, looking at him.

Are you serious?

"Yes!" she nodded.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Huo Shenyuan hugged her and asked seriously.

"I saw Venom!"

Huo Shenyuan was startled...
