Chapter 275: Don’t act rashly

Shen Ningyuan lowered her eyebrows slightly, hiding the flash of cold light.

It seems that their conversation just now was indeed overheard by someone.

But in the An Ning Marquis Mansion, who would be so bold and presumptuous?

Dare you come to visit Xiyuanju at night?

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

Shen Ningyuan murmured, "Ji Yunchuan was beaten up and his body was seriously injured. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for a few days. It shouldn't be him..."

Although he was muttering to himself, he had a vague idea of the answer in his heart.

In this mansion, apart from Ji Yunchuan, there would be no one else who would do such a despicable thing.

Just as her thoughts were in a mess, a figure quickly approached from afar in the thick night.

Shen Ningyuan's face was stern. He drew out the self-defense dagger from his waist and looked ahead vigilantly.

After a few breaths, the figure gradually approached and revealed its true face.

It turned out to be Yi Ge.

Shen Ningyuan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows, "Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Ji Yunchuan?"

Yi Ge's face was tense, he lowered his head and said with a look of shame.

"Please punish me, young lady. I have been tricked into leaving the mountain..."

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's head exploded.

The whole person felt dizzy.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but they disappeared so quickly that I couldn't grasp anything.

Chen Ningyuan stared at Yi Ge without blinking, and the words he said were unprecedentedly cold and piercing.

"What did you say? Lure the tiger away from the mountain? Is Ji Yunchuan no longer in the mansion?"

A series of rhetorical questions made Yi Ge turn extremely pale in an instant.

He hummed in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Shen Ningyuan's body shook uncontrollably for a few times, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Just at this moment, Xie Wanzhou appeared in the field of vision with rapid breathing.

"Ning Yuan, are you okay? Did anyone break in?"

After the initial chaos, Shen Ningyuan has now calmed down.

She pursed her lips and nodded slightly at Xie Wanzhou.

"Fortunately," Shen Ningyuan seemed to suddenly remember something when he said this, and asked hurriedly, "By the way, have you found the person who was spying in secret?"

As he spoke, there was a glimmer of hope in his pupils.

Under her expectant gaze, Xie Wanzhou shook his head dejectedly.

"That person was very aware of the surrounding situation. After chasing for a hundred meters, his figure completely disappeared."

It's more than just knowing it like the back of your hand, it's just like strolling in your own back garden.

The person who was secretly spying was very familiar with everything about Xiyuanju. He dodged left and right, circled a few times, and disappeared into a rockery.

Xie Wanzhou searched the rockery pavilion for a long time but did not find any clues.

I seriously suspect there is a secret passage leading outside.

Xie Wanzhou did not hide anything about this and directly told everyone his guess.

After Shen Ningyuan heard this, her heart was still unsettled for a long time.

His fingertips grasped the window frame tightly, with a hint of cold hatred in his eyes.

Apart from Ji Yunchuan, who else would be so familiar with the area around Xiyuanju.

"No need to look for him anymore, that person must be Ji Yunchuan."

I just don’t know how he managed to escape when he was seriously injured.

Shen Ningyuan shook her head, throwing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

Xie Wanzhou was shocked and his breathing slowed down a lot. How...how could this be him?

Ji Yunchuan is just a playboy with a glamorous appearance but rotten inside, how could he have such ability?

Or is it that someone behind the scenes is interfering?

Xie Wanzhou suddenly remembered that Ji Yunchuan had been the eldest son of Marquis An Ning for many years, so it made sense if he was the one spying secretly.

"He is not..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Ningyuan interrupted him.

"It was him, Yi Ge. Tell me, what happened before? Why did he escape your surveillance?"

When his name was called suddenly, Yi Ge was panicked for a moment.

Coupled with the two pressing gazes, Yi Ge felt his whole body suddenly go cold.

Yi Ge swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, and told everyone what he had just experienced.

She had been secretly monitoring Ji Yunchuan's every move without slacking off at all.

But two quarters of an hour ago, in the courtyard where Ji Yunchuan lived, a maid was so bold as to climb onto the bed and was caught by Chen's personal nanny.

A scream broke the silence of the night and threw the entire courtyard into chaos.

The nanny beat the maid who climbed onto the bed to death with thundering means, and also let all the servants in the yard watch the execution.

From beginning to end, Ji Yunchuan never spoke a word or showed his face.

When Yi Ge realized something was wrong, he broke into Ji Yunchuan's dormitory through the window, but found that there was no one on the bed.

He immediately summoned the guards in the palace to search for his whereabouts.

But the person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

There was no trace left.

Afterwards, Yi Ge was at a loss and could only report the matter to Chen Ningyuan.

After listening to her narration, Shen Ningyuan and Xie Wanzhou fell into deep silence.

It seems that they underestimated the enemy!

Otherwise, Ji Yunchuan would not have come to Xiyuanju without anyone noticing and eavesdrop on their conversation.

If you want to find someone now, you definitely won’t be able to find him.

I guess he has already escaped and is hiding in that corner.

But that person was like a poisonous snake in the dark, and you never knew when he would deliver a fatal blow.

Since ancient times, there are only people who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

After that, there was no peace in the An Ning Marquis Mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ningyuan took the lead in breaking the silence.

"It's already come to this, and there's no point dwelling on regrets."

Xie Wanzhou nodded in agreement, his fingertips unconsciously turning the ring on his hand.

"I will send another group of secret guards here. You should not leave the mansion for the next few days."

Shen Ningyuan did not comment on this.

Instead, he sneered and spoke in a cold tone.

"Ji Yunchuan has suffered such a huge loss this time, and has endured so much suffering, he will never let it go. And I am his first target."

It is impossible to live a peaceful life.

Ji Yunchuan knew every tree and blade of grass in Marquis An Ning's mansion very well and would definitely kill them in secret.

But if you leave the mansion in disgrace, it will not be so easy to kill your enemy later.

In a flash, Shen Ningyuan had already made a decision in his mind.

He raised his eyes and said firmly.

"Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. The more muddy the water, the better, so that you can fish in troubled waters."

Having said that, Xie Wanzhou disagreed with doing so.

It’s because the person behind Ji Yunchuan has not been investigated yet.

At present, the evidence we have about Ji Yunchuan's treason is still incomplete.

If you start prematurely, you may fail.

We have already laid out ninety-nine steps, only the last one is left. How can we be so rash in this way?

"No, this matter should be considered in the long run."
