Chapter 401 403 A Scream
When Ning Qingyun first arrived at the Ning family, he was just about ten years old. He knew that he had no one to rely on, so he just wanted to live a quiet life in obscurity. He didn't want to get into trouble, so he acted very carefully. Unfortunately, there were people who didn't want him to live in peace. The young masters in the Ning family compound, led by Ning Qingjun, often took pleasure in bullying him.
Ning Qingyun did not receive careful care when he was a child, and was shorter than his peers. What's more, Ning Qingjun and others were a few years older than him. At first, Ning Qingyun would carefully avoid them and try not to have conflicts with them. Later, when he saw that he could not avoid them, he fought with them. Although Ning Qingyun was small in stature, he was born with great strength. He had stayed in an orphanage for two years and had rich experience in fighting. Ning Qingjun and others were beaten black and blue by him.
Ning Qingjun and his men have always been domineering and no one dared to provoke them. Unexpectedly, an illegitimate child with no legitimate reason would dare to fight back. The key point is that Ning Qingjun and his men suffered a loss. This time they really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Ning Qingyun's behavior angered the adults behind the child. They didn't care why their child was beaten. Anyway, their children could bully others but could not be bullied.
The adults provided their child with a professional bodyguard on the grounds that the child was being bullied. Since then, Ning Qingyun was always covered in injuries when he came home from school.
No one knows how scared and terrified a ten-year-old child is when being surrounded by a group of adults. They just want to see their children safe and sound.
Of course, there were people in the clan who couldn't stand it and reported the matter to Madam Ning San and Ning Zhici. Both of them just said a few perfunctory words. The bodyguards behind those children were all their people. They felt that those people were well-behaved and nothing serious would happen.
This situation lasted for nearly two years, until one day, Ning Qingyun hid a very heavy iron rod in a place where they often surrounded him. He hit Ning Qingjun's bodyguard with one stick, causing his brain to burst. The other two were also seriously injured and paralyzed. At that time, Ning Qingyun was less than twelve years old.
Ying Cai'e used the video footage of Ning Qingyun being beaten by bodyguards and Ning Qingjun and others watching the show to threaten the Ning family, threatening to accuse them of hiring someone to abuse the child.
In the end, no one knows how they negotiated, but the deaths and injuries caused by Ning Qingyun were settled by the Ning family, and Ning Qingyun continued to live in the Ning family.
It was just that Ning Qingyun was actually being bullied, and since this incident, he has been completely isolated.
Those people in the Ning family who had originally sympathized with his situation would also warn their children to stay away from him.
Ning Qingtian is one of them.
Ning Qingyun was rather secretive when delivering the task yesterday, and Ning Qingtian only realized at this moment that Ning Qingyun had actually come to Jindu.
Although Ning Qingyun moved out of the Ning family mansion when he was still a minor, no one could forget that incident.
Ning Qingtian huddled in the corner and didn't want to meet Ning Qingyun.
Lan Shuang appeared in the banquet hall wearing a fitted honey-colored cotton coat. There was an unhealthy pale color on her face, as if she was lacking blood. Obviously, she knew that her complexion was not good, so she put on some powder to cover it up and her hair was combed neatly.
She was tall and graceful, and when she walked, she looked like a supermodel attending the fashion week before the end of the world. She was somewhat out of place with the overall rough and noisy atmosphere in the banquet hall.
Lan Shuang looked around, and the noisy guests in the banquet hall couldn't help but quiet down. After a moment's silence, the banquet hall became even noisier. Someone whispered to his companions, "What does this woman do?"
“I don’t know!”
“She’s pretty good-looking!”
"How can she be pretty? She is as thin as a bamboo pole and looks like she will be blown away by a gust of wind!"
Lan Shuang felt a little uncomfortable under the undisguised gazes of these people. What kind of party was this? There were no gentlemen in formal dresses, only a group of rude and reckless men, with a few young officers occasionally mixed in, all of whom were familiar faces from the past.
Although Lan Shuang did not have an invitation, the banquet was held in the military compound where they lived. The soldiers standing guard at the door also knew her, and when they heard that she wanted to come and see Captain Ning Qingtian for something, they let her in.
The food at the banquet was placed in a public area for guests to take. Lan Shuang looked around but didn't find anything that interested her, nor did she find Ning Qingtian.
As she looked around for someone, she saw out of the corner of her eye that there was a bottle of her favorite red wine before the apocalypse on a table. This red wine tasted fresh, crisp and full of vitality. Of course, it was also quite expensive. The production of this wine was originally not high, and she had never drunk it again after the apocalypse. Unexpectedly, she found a bottle at this banquet.
Lan Shuang was feeling somewhat happy. She walked towards the table. After taking a few steps, she looked up and her face turned pale instantly.
"Ah" a high-pitched scream that seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums sounded, and there was a hint of neurotic fear in the voice.
Rong Xianxian looked in the direction of the voice and frowned slightly. Why was she here? The last time she saw her, she was almost mentally collapsed. Now she looked a little better than then.
Wen Qingming was originally talking to the captains who came to inquire about the military recruitment situation, while Ning Qingtian was hiding in the corner and didn't want to show up.
Lan Shuang's scream at this moment attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
"What's going on?" Yang Chao couldn't wait to stand up and ask.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Jin seemed to have heard Lan Shuang's voice and ran in like a gust of wind.
Behind her, a well-mannered, elegant man whose exact age could not be determined came forward.
"Ms. Lan Shuang, don't be afraid, relax. Can you tell me now why you screamed just now?" The man spoke slowly and in a low voice, with a reassuring and relaxing charm.
This is the hypnotist that Ning Qingtian found for Lan Shuang, his name is Wei Wei.
Lan Shuang had collapsed to the ground after screaming. Her body was shaking, and it seemed as if her teeth were chattering. She sat on the ground with her hands on her head. When she heard the hypnotist's voice, her emotions gradually stabilized. "I saw the murderer again. I'm so scared!"
"What murderer? Who did the murderer kill?" the hypnotist asked gently.
"She, she is a murderer. She killed me. She wanted to kill me. She will definitely kill me." Lan Shuang's fingers trembled and pointed in the direction of Rong Xianxian. Her expression was terrified and her words were incoherent.
Her originally pale complexion had now turned even paler, and even had a lifeless blue-gray tint in parts.
The guests present looked at Lan Shuang, then at Rong Xianxian, and talked a lot.
