"No reason, I just don't want you to get involved in the affairs of my Ning Family Manor! Especially my daughter Ning Xue!" Ning Changfeng's voice was calm, but there was a hint of unhappiness in it. He said, "Since you can make it out alive, you are still lucky. I won't make it difficult for you. Go away. From now on, you are not allowed to enter Ning Family Manor. Stay away from Ning Xue!"
Eviction order?
I frowned. If it weren't for the fact that he was Ning Xue's father, I might have burst into tears. However, reason told me that I couldn't do that. If I just walked away like that, Ning Xue would always be kept in the dark by Ning Changfeng. Although I didn't know what had happened that made Ning Changfeng hate me so much, for Ning Xue's sake, I had to intervene.
I said stubbornly, "This is about Ning Xue, how can I just walk away?"
Ning Changfeng shot me a hawk-like gaze: "Ning Xue is my child, what the hell is it to you?"
I was furious. I slammed the table, stood up, and shouted, "Do you think I'm willing to care about your family's mess? If Ning Xue wasn't my friend, I wouldn't even bother with you!"
Ning Changfeng looked at me in surprise, and even the guests nearby looked at me curiously. The elderly men beside me were even more shocked, obviously finding it hard to believe what I said and did.
Peng Shengyue had long disliked me, and upon hearing what I said, he called a few bodyguards to drag me out. Ning Xue stormed over and blocked their way.
Just as things were getting worse, Ning Changfeng suddenly received a call. His expression suddenly changed, and he left the table in a panic. We had no idea what was going on, so Ning Xue took my hand and said to Peng Shengyue and the others, "Remember this: his name is Xu Fei, and he's my boyfriend. If any of you dare to touch him, I'll never forgive you, Xi family!"
After saying this, Ning Xue turned her head and took me away. Huo Liang, Zhao Xi, and Man Yuanyi also hurriedly followed with dark faces.
Following Ning Changfeng's Rolls-Royce, we returned to Ningjiazhuang. As soon as we entered the door, we saw a horrifying scene.
An elderly man was hanging from the beam of the gate with a thick rope. His eyes were wide open, his tongue was hanging out, and his limbs were stiff. He had been strangled to death!
"This is Butler Li..." Ning Xue covered her mouth with her hands, extremely surprised.
Butler Li? He should be the butler who invited me to the restaurant for dinner that day, right?
"What happened?" Ning Changfeng walked over and asked someone to take down the body of Butler Li, and then asked the servants and nannies who were surrounding him.
One of the old nannies said in horror: "We don't know what happened. By the time we found out, Butler Li had already hanged himself!"
Ning Changfeng frowned and said, "Although Steward Li is old, he has always been in good health and has no history of epilepsy or mental illness. How could he have hanged himself?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Su Xiaoniu asked me to check the body. I walked over to Butler Li's body. Ning Changfeng asked me what I was doing. I said I was checking the cause of Butler Li's death. Ning Changfeng didn't seem to believe me. At this time, Man Yuanyi came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Ning Changfeng then stepped aside.
I don't know what Man Yuanyi said to him, but I don't want to know. I squatted down and examined Butler Li's body. His eyes were white, his body was stiff, and there was a cold feeling on his dark and yellow wrinkled skin. There was nothing in his mouth. On the surface, there was nothing strange about it. It was not much different from a normal suicide by hanging.
I opened my wisdom eyes. Since I couldn't tell the cause of death from the outside, I could only look inside. My wisdom eyes penetrated Butler Li's flesh like a torch, looking straight into his internal organs and tendons. I took a quick look and didn't see anything strange.
Huh? Wait!
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Butler Li's chest and was shocked to discover that his heart was nowhere to be found!
Why did Butler Li’s heart disappear?
I was so shocked that I sat down on the ground with my scalp tingling.
Su Xiaoniu said in a voice as soft as a silver bell, "Without damaging the body, the heart disappeared... This method is quite clever, but it also reveals the murderer's purpose."
I frowned and asked, "Have you found out who the murderer is?"
Su Xiaoniu said, "No, but we can guess that Butler Li did not hang himself to death. Instead, the murderer took out Butler Li's heart and then forced his body to hang himself, thus creating the illusion that Butler Li had hanged himself."
I was stunned. If it was just as Su Xiaoniu said, then the murderer was incredible! He could take the heart from the air and even control the corpse to hang itself?
Oh shit, that’s scary!
Then Su Xiaoniu said something that made my hair stand on end: "The murderer may not be a human. It's most likely a ghost, and a ghost that needs a heart. Why don't you ask Ning Changfeng if anyone in Ningjiazhuang has ever died by having their heart dug out?"
At this time, Ning Changfeng asked me if I had found out the cause.
I stood up and said, "Butler Li didn't hang himself to death. Someone dug out his heart and killed him. He no longer had a heart in his body."
Ning Changfeng and the others were shocked when they heard this. Man Yuanyi walked over and took off Butler Li's shirt, then asked curiously, "But Butler Li's chest doesn't show any signs of being dissected. How could his heart have been taken out?"
My eyes narrowed. "Because the one who dug out their heart wasn't a human, but a ghost." Then I looked at Ning Changfeng and asked, "Has anyone in Ningjiazhuang ever died from having their heart dug out?"
When Ning Changfeng heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Ning Xue suddenly frowned and said, "It seems like this has happened a few times before. The autopsies couldn't find any cause, only that the heart was gone. However, the previous times were all outside guests, and the deceased were all men. Butler Li has been in my Ning Family Manor for decades, so this shouldn't be right."
