Xiao Longzhan looked puzzled, and Jiang Nian'an also looked up at Shen Nanxing with curiosity.
"Because I've smelled this scent before."
Shen Nanxing remained calm, a stark contrast to Jiang Nian'an, who nearly vomited from the stench and looked terrible.
"You've smelled it? Where have you smelled it?"
Jiang Nian'an and the other person became even more curious.
"The year my older brother was kidnapped."
Thinking of what happened back then, Shen Nanxing's gaze suddenly deepened. "This is the smell of bone-dissolving water."
"Bone-dissolving water?"
Jiang Nian'an's eyes widened suddenly. "Isn't that something that only exists in the world of martial arts?"
She remembered that this kind of potion was mentioned in the martial arts novels she had read before.
The villainous second female lead even used this stuff to dissolve the righteous character's corpse.
"The six families have a history of thousands of years, and perhaps they have experienced the martial arts world that An'an mentioned."
Shen Nanxing couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke Jiang Nian'an's nose, laughing as he said, "So, besides post-apocalyptic novels, An'an also reads martial arts novels."
Hehe~
Jiang Nian'an raised her chin with a hint of pride, then straightened her expression and quietly asked Shen Nanxing, "Brother Shen, what you just said was that your six families have bone-dissolving water?"
Mentioning the Bone-Dissolving Water, Shen Nanxing's eyes turned cold again. "To be precise, it belongs to the Jiufang family."
"Huh? Doesn't that mean the kidnapping of your brother back then was related to the Jiu Fang family..."
"not necessarily."
Shen Nanxing's dark eyes remained cold as he shook his head slightly.
"Although the Jiufang family is not likable, they would not do such a thing. Moreover, the Shen family has no enmity with them, and even has been kind to them."
"Then...could it be that the Lin family stole the Jiufang family's Bone-Dissolving Water and wanted to frame the Jiufang family for kidnapping your brother?"
Jiang Nian'an stroked her chin, pondering.
"The Jiufang family's defenses are not bad, so they shouldn't be able to be attacked, but whether there is an inside traitor is unknown."
Shen Nanxing's eyes darkened as he recalled a conversation he had once had with his grandfather.
He told his grandfather about smelling the bone-dissolving liquid, but his grandfather only said he knew and forbade him to tell anyone else, saying that he had other plans.
Later, he kept it to himself.
If he hadn't smelled that scent on that dead rabbit again today, he would have almost forgotten about it.
So, what arrangements did Grandpa make later...?
Shen Nanxing tried hard to recall, but could only remember being thrown into the Shen family training camp and participating in grueling training.
It seems I really need to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
'Beep beep—'
Just as Shen Nanxing was pondering to himself, a car horn sounded at the entrance of the village, along with Luo Yi's loud voice.
"Shen Nanxing, An'an, Xiao Longzhan, where are you?!"
"It's Brother Luo Yi!"
Xiao Longzhan turned around and looked towards the village entrance, where Luo Yi and his group came into view.
"An'an, Xiao Zhanzhan, don't tell them about the bone-dissolving water beforehand."
After Shen Nanxing finished speaking, he raised his hand, and with a flash of lightning, the dead rabbit turned into ashes.
The wind blew, carrying away all traces.
If Luo Yi knows, it means that Old Master Luo will know.
Grandpa Luo was an overly rigid old man.
If he knew that the bone-dissolving water, which should have been stored in the Jiufang family ancestral hall, had appeared at the place where his elder brother was kidnapped, he would definitely confront Old Master Jiufang immediately.
That would alert the enemy.
