Chapter 180 Xu Guining
As agreed by everyone, Yu Yao did not go out the next day.
Anyone who comes to trade is directly received by Dongfang Jin.
Luo Mei took the ginseng and black jade to the trading area. It was said that there were many interesting things in the trading area.
I didn’t have time to watch it all yesterday, so I’m going to spend some time watching it today.
After she left, Yu Yao, Jiang Yi and others watched TV on the sofa.
After watching about half of a movie, Luo Mei returned to the villa with a gloomy expression.
Then she pursed her lips and looked at Qi Xian.
"Third brother, I just bought a few paintings, take a look."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xian’s eyelids twitched.
"painting?"
Yu Yao's expression also changed.
painting?
Luo Mei was a little hesitant, but still took out a few scrolls from the space.
"I found some paintings in the official trading area. They were drawn using supernatural powers. After activating the supernatural powers, the objects in the paintings can become real for a short period of time."
Qi Xian seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly took the scroll from Luo Mei's hand.
The moment I opened it and saw the paintings, my body began to tremble violently.
"Where is it? Where is the man selling paintings?"
Luo Mei pursed her lips and shook her head, "Someone traded with the government and it was sold by the government. I can't ask the seller."
"I'll go ask!" Qi Xian said, put away the scroll and ran out.
Dongfang Jin held him back, "Don't be impulsive, have you forgotten the note? This is probably a scam targeting you!"
Qi Xian said the same thing: "I know, but I have to go! What if this painting is really from her hand! She must be living a bad life!"
After saying that, he pulled his arm away and strode away.
The others were worried that he might get into trouble due to his impulsiveness, so they quickly chased after him.
Yu Yao, who was the last one to come, knew without a second thought who had drawn these paintings, and she also chased after them.
But as soon as they ran out of the villa, they saw a person outside the gate.
A middle-aged man who was obviously fat in the past but has now lost weight, with loose and dry skin and cloudy eyes.
Qi Xian gritted his teeth and looked at him.
"Yes! You!!!"
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It's me. I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."
"Where's Ningning?"
The middle-aged man ignored Qi Xian's rage and danger, and said with a smile: "If you agree to my conditions, protect me, and give me the crystal core, I will tell you the whereabouts of Xu Guining!"
Qi Xian grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, his tone full of murderous intent.
"You still dare to make conditions to me? Are you worthy?"
The middle-aged man blushed, but did not forget to provoke him.
"I am not worthy, but Xu Guining is my wife after all, and she is pregnant with my child! If you want her, you can only agree to my conditions! I tell you, I have awakened the ability of empathy, and I am connected to Xu Guining. Everything I have experienced, she has also endured! If I die, she will not survive!"
Qi Xian's pupils shrank, and he quickly put him down, withdrew his hand and took several steps back.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man covered his neck and smiled triumphantly.
"Hahahaha~ You two are really in love."
Qi Xian looked at him as if he were a dead man.
"Where is Ningning?"
"Do you agree to my terms?"
Qi Xian gritted his teeth and said, "I promise."
"Okay, okay~ Come on, I'll take you to find her."
With the ability of empathy, the middle-aged man was not afraid that Qi Xian would go back on his word.
He looked at the person behind Qi Xian again.
"I think it's best if you come with me yourself."
Dongfang Jin: “…”
The abacus beads all popped out!
Qi Xian and several teammates looked at each other, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
After that, he followed the man who was satisfied with his answer and walked in one direction.
Although Luo Mei and the others did not catch up, their mental power always followed Qi Xian.
Yu Yao's Sky-peeping Mirror was also kept open, watching his situation.
......
After Qi Xian left, Luo Mei saw Yu Yao lowering her eyes and not saying anything, and thought that she didn't know who that person was talking about, so she quickly explained: "Ayao, have you heard of the genius painter Qingdeng?"
Yu Yao nodded.
Qingdeng, once hailed as the most gifted and talented painter in China, swept almost all awards, big and small, a few years ago.
At the age of 20, he was able to hold his own art exhibition, and any of his paintings could be sold at a sky-high price.
The original owner had heard a lot about her and admired her intelligence and spirit.
Could it be...Xu Guining is actually Qingdeng?
Luo Mei explained: "Qing Deng, formerly known as Xu Guining. She is... Third Brother's ex-girlfriend."
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow.
ah? ? ? ? ?
"I haven't heard you mention it!"
This news came too suddenly!
Luo Mei said: "That is a taboo. There is no way to mention it, and... I don't know how to mention it."
After that, she took a breath and continued, "Third brother almost retired because of her. But just before Sister Gui Ning was about to take Third brother to meet her parents, something happened to the Xu family and the capital chain was broken. In order to revive, the Xu couple knocked Sister Gui Ning unconscious... and sent her to the bed of a powerful old man!"
Having said that, Luo Mei gritted her teeth, obviously angry!
Qingdeng's paintings are valuable, but they are in the face of an abyss-like debt.
Not worth mentioning.
Yu Yao: “!!!!”
She never knew that Xu Guining had such a past!
Luo Mei sighed and continued, "After the incident, Sister Guining became pregnant. So she quickly married that man and cut off all contact with the third brother. The third brother went to find her like crazy, tried to rob her of the marriage, beat her up, and even almost killed the old man. But Sister Guining refused to go with him, and she and the third brother had a quarrel because she protected that man.
Later... Third Brother would go to see her every once in a while and found that she was actually doing well. Although the child was not saved in the end and the old man was old and ugly, he was rich and powerful and took good care of Sister Guining. "
Of course, no one knew that Xu Guining was not living a good life.
That person was too good at pretending, and Xu Guining didn't want to delay Qi Xian any longer, so he just let him act.
This resulted in Qi Xian not realizing at all what kind of life Xu Guining lived every day.
Luo Mei continued, "After returning that time, Third Brother accepted a mission to go to the war zone as a mercenary. As a result, he was injured and unconscious for nearly half a year. After waking up, he never went to see Sister Gui Ning again, nor did he hear her name from Third Brother once. It was as if he had really let it go."
But they all knew that he hadn't let it go.
He threw away all of Xu Guining's belongings, but he still secretly kept a photo of Xu Guining in the pendant hanging on his chest.
Luo Mei and the others initially felt some resentment towards Xu Guining, because in their opinion... no matter what, it was Xu Guining who gave up on Qi Xian.
As long as she doesn't give up, Qi Xian has plenty of ways to take her away!
It was not until recently that they unexpectedly learned that everything Xu Guining had experienced back then was because of Qi Xian.
The people behind the scenes are foreign forces whose good deeds were ruined by Qi Xian.
They manipulated everything with their own hands, destroyed the Xu family, and destroyed Xu Guining.
They just wanted to see Qi Xian suffer!
They even issued a global kill order through the dark web, offering a reward of 1 billion US dollars for Qi Xian's head.
The reason why Xu Guining stayed with the old man was because he... had the ability to cancel the wanted order!
She sacrificed herself so that Qi Xian could live.
The other party might not have expected that the man not only did not vent his anger on Qi Xian because his woman was thinking about someone else.
Instead, it actually helped him cancel the wanted warrant.
All we can say is that Zhou Zhijing at that time had status, ability, and was high up.
In his eyes, Xu Guining was like a toy.
For him, at that time, he was new to Xu Guining, so he could help her protect her lover, make her stay by his side willingly, and allow him to take whatever he wanted and ravage her at will.
Xu Guining is not new now...
He can also throw it away at any time and replace it with what he needs.
It's a pity... when Luo Mei and the others knew the truth... it was too late...
Luo Mei originally wanted to check on Zhou Zhijing after completing the escort mission, but the end of the world came first.
Therefore, they still dare not tell everything to the protagonist Qi Xian...for fear that he...
Why......
They thought they would never have any contact with Xu Guining again in their lives, but Luo Mei accidentally saw Xu Guining's paintings in the trading area.
There is no doubt that the painting style and brushstrokes are both Xu Guining's.
But those paintings no longer show the aura and vitality that once belonged to Qingdeng.
It gives people a feeling of being more craftsmanship and mechanical.
Just like Qi Xian said just now, she was not living well.
Yu Yao lowered her eyes and used a sky-peeping mirror to follow the middle-aged man and Qi Xian to an apartment building. She watched them climb to the seventh floor and push open a door.
"Gui Ning! Xu Gui Ning! Come out quickly, your beloved lover is here to pick you up!"
The middle-aged man shouted as he entered the room.
But there was clearly no one inside.
......
Xu Guining is missing.
There were only two bodies of psychics left in the house.
One was in the bathroom, with a sharpened pencil deeply inserted into the neck; the other was in the room, with many scratches, bites and lacerations on its body.
All that was left was a cold and quiet room filled with painting materials.
There was still a lingering smell of superpower suppressants in the air.
Qi Xian looked at everything in the room with red eyes, then glared at the embarrassed and panicked middle-aged man.
“What…what’s going on!!!”
The original intention was to lure Qi Xian over, control him with the inhibitor in the air, and steal the Suzaku Bow.
But......
Who can tell him what happened?
As soon as this happened, Chi Heng and his companions showed up.
Qi Xian no longer looked at Zhou Zhijing, but only begged Luo Mei and Yu Yao: "Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, please help me find her!"
"Um."
Luo Mei nodded intently, and her mental power quickly spread out, searching for Xu Guining's figure within the range.
Yu Yao also immediately used the map and the Sky-peeping Mirror to conduct a carpet search of the base.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
......
One hour...
Inner city, middle city, outer city, and the outer perimeter of the base city wall.
No trace.
"She...is not in the base." Yu Yao said.
Luo Mei also nodded, her expression solemn.
Qi Xian’s whole body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Chi Heng supported him and asked the man who was already in a panic.
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"Yesterday...Yesterday, before I went out to look for you, she was still at home!"
He has been following Yu Yao since she went to Lin's house yesterday.
Then he hid in the dark and followed them for a long time, until today when he was sure that Luo Mei had returned home with the scroll, and then he showed up.
At that time, Xu Guining should have been tied up at home by him!
