Chapter 360: Ning Tan knows

Ning sighed and looked at the cloak.

According to her upbringing, Meng Xiyan's cloak belonged to a foreign man and she shouldn't touch it even if she caught a cold.

Meng Xiyan was so frank that if I didn't accept it, I would seem pretentious and guilty.

Besides, after these years of experience, she has figured out a lot of things.

Nothing is better than living a good life.

She was about to reach out to take the cloak, but Wen Yan took the cloak first and put it on Ning Tan.

"It's freezing cold, and you'll suffer a lot if you get frozen. Besides, we're all family here, so we won't leak any information."

Wen Yan looked at the others: "Brothers, is that right?"

The others nodded repeatedly and raised their hands to swear that they would never let a single word leak out.

Ning Tan pursed his lips and smiled, then bowed to everyone: "Thank you very much."

Wen Yan asked Chen Twelve to look after Ning Tan for a while. She winked at Meng Xiyan and walked aside.

Meng Xiyan also followed.

Wen Yan kicked the bandit at his feet and asked Meng Xiyan: "Is there anyone alive?"

Meng Xiyan: "Of course we keep them. Their lair hasn't been destroyed yet, so they still have great use for it!"

Wen Yan whispered to Meng Xiyan, "I always feel that there is something fishy going on here. Those bandits have been lurking around Miss Ning for a long time, so it's clear they came prepared.

Moreover, I have been observing them along the way and found that although they are bandits, they are well-trained.

If they are real bandits, they could become a serious problem over time."

Of course, there is an even more terrifying situation, but Wen Yan did not mention it.

However, given Meng Xiyan's level of vigilance, he should be able to imagine it.

"Also, among those who survived, are there any with a Cangzhou accent?"

Meng Xiyan waved his hand, and the servant in charge of the interrogation came over. After a while, he brought two people dressed as bandits.

They were said to be dressed like bandits because they had delicate skin and tender flesh, and it was obvious that they had never suffered hardship, and they did not look like bandits at all.

Wen Yan said to Meng Xiyan, "Can you help me interrogate them? Find out who is behind them?"

"Can it be done?" Meng Xiyan glanced at the servant.

"Just give me a quarter of an hour."

The servant carried the two bandits aside.

Soon, screams were heard from the dark woods.

The sudden sound scared Wen Yan.

Meng Xiyan: "Are you scared?"

Before Wen Yan could reply, the servant came running to report: "He has spoken out."

"So unethical!" Wen Yan sneered and followed the servant over.

Arrived at the interrogation place.

A man was beaten to a pulp and fell to the ground, unconscious and dying.

The outstretched hands were almost smashed into mud.

The other man collapsed to the ground, trembling with fear. His crotch was wet and smelled of urine.

Wen Yan moved aside in disgust: "Tell me, who is your master."

The man didn't even dare to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "It's...it's the Qian family."

Qian family.

Ning Tan’s fiancé’s surname is Qian.

It seems that the people who want to ruin her reputation and destroy the Ning family are indeed the Qian family.

Ning Tan took care of the widow and also took care of her fiancé Ling. As a fiancée, she had done well enough.

Why did the Qian family want to kill them all?

It's a start.

The following words are not difficult to say.

He poured out everything he knew, like spilling beans.

"Is this what Patriarch Qian meant? How are they going to deal with Miss Ning?"

"No...it wasn't the Qian family head's idea, it was the Qian family's second wife's idea. She told us...she told us to team up with the bandits here, rape her first and then kill her, and then throw her to a crowded place at the foot of the Big Buddha Temple. She wanted to...she wanted her to be ruined, to be condemned by thousands of people, and to be spit upon by everyone."

Wen Yan asked again, "The second wife of the Qian family? Is she the biological mother of Miss Ning's fiancé?"

"yes……"

Wen Yan stole a glance at Meng Xiyan.

Although his face was expressionless, his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.

He must be very angry.

But Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's get rid of them. To prevent future troubles." Meng Xiyan looked calm, but his words were ruthless.

"Sir, I'm still young and I don't want to die. Please, spare me this time." The man pleaded and rushed over, trying to hug their thighs and beg.

"When you accepted this mission, did you ever think about Miss Ning's life or death?

Since you have caused this, you will have to taste the consequences." Wen Yan was so angry that he wanted to kick her a few times, but he was afraid of dirtying the soles of his shoes.

"Let's go, stop looking, it's polluting your eyes." Meng Xiyan kicked the bandit away and left with Wen Yan.

The two of them turned around at the same time, and unexpectedly bumped into Ning Tan.

Wen Yan panicked: "Sister Ning... Tan, you..."

"Yanyan." Ning Tan called gently.

"You... heard everything?" Wen Yan walked to her side, worried that she would be upset.

Ning Tan gave Wen Yan a wry smile: "I heard everything. The result is just as I expected."

"I...this..." Wen Yan wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to start.

He could only pick at his fingers in frustration: "Actually... this may not be a bad thing. The sooner we recognize their true colors, the sooner we can escape from this suffering."

Ning Tan smiled and nodded: "You are right, with this incident as evidence, I can completely break off all ties with the Qian family.

My mother's family doesn't need to be affected by their bad luck."

After five years of dealing with the Qian family, she had long seen through Qian's mother's true colors.

The Qian family became more and more anxious about her.

This time I returned to Beijing not only to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, but also to see if I could find a way to save myself.

Ning Tan was too calm.

It was as if everything happening before her eyes was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her.

She looked at the two 'bandits' and said, "Can you give these two to me? I'll need them."

Meng Xiyan said: "After we go down the mountain, I will send it to your house."

"No need to send them back to the Ning family. Could you please ask General Meng to keep them for me for a while? I can come back and take them away when I need them."

"Sure, it's just a piece of cake." Meng Xiyan didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Thank you very much, General Meng." Ning Tan nodded at him to show his gratitude.

After Wen Yan took Ning Tan’s arm and left.

Meng Xiyan then ordered his men: "Remove the jaws. Don't let them die before Miss Ning brings them back."

Four servants were assigned to guard Xuan Ruoshan, while the two half-brothers and Chen Shiyi went to the location of Ning Tan's carriage to check for any survivors.

Wen Yan remembered that in her previous life, a maid fled back to the city to seek help with her last breath, and finally saved Ning Tan.

However, the maid died from her injuries.

She hoped that such a loyal servant could be discovered and treated as soon as possible.

After arranging things here, Wen Yan and his party went down the mountain and returned to the city first.

It started snowing heavily again.

When they arrived at the city gate, it happened to be opened.

With Meng Xiyan's face, they quickly jumped the queue and entered the city.

fork in the road.

Wen Yan and Meng Xiyan walked away separately.

Meng Xiyan went back to ask for permission and to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits.

Meng Xiyan couldn't help but glance at Ning Tan: "Take good care of her."

Wen Yan said: "Don't worry, Brother Xi Yan, I will take good care of Sister Ning Tan."

Only then did Meng Xiyan pull the reins and separate from them.

Wen Yan looked at Ning Tan: "Sister Ning Tan, in your current state, should I send you back to the Ning family directly?"

Ning Tan looked at his own disheveled appearance and said with a blush, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sister Liu to take me to clean up."

Wen Yan said, "How about this? You come back to my place with me to adjust for a day, and I'll personally take you home tomorrow. Also, from now on, just call me Wen Yan, just like everyone else."

"Then listen to Sister Yan's arrangements."

Wen Yan ordered Chen Twelve, who was driving, "Little Twelve, take us back to Qingfeng Xiaolou."
