Chapter 212: How long has Lu Ningshuang been staring at you?
"No." Ji Yunshu said quickly, "You won't do anything to hurt me."
They replaced Lan Yin just to lure her out. If Zhao Shen wanted to do anything bad to her, he didn't need to do that.
She would suspect that Zhao Shen was hiding something from her, after all, he had a criminal record, but she didn't think Zhao Shen would hurt her.
Zhao Shen's expression finally eased a little. "Ever since I knew Lan Yin was taken away, I've been checking, but the guards said they didn't see anything unusual."
"Besides Lu Ningshuang, didn't they capture other prisoners alive? They didn't tell us either."
Zhao Shen nodded. "They are indeed tough guys. I've had people check, and none of them are under the control of drugs. Why do you think they are trusted?"
Ji Yunshu had no idea for a moment: "Whatever it is, it must be something more powerful than medicine."
As for loyalty, it’s not that Ji Yunshu doesn’t believe in it, but no one in a higher position would believe in absolute loyalty.
The two of them did not come to a conclusion until they returned to the house.
Lu Ru had already prepared dinner, but Ji Yunshu had no appetite at all. While stirring a bowl of soup with a spoon, he asked, "How's Lan Yin? Is she awake? Has she eaten anything?"
Lu Ru replied: "He woke up once, ate a bowl of porridge, and fell asleep again. Don't worry, someone is watching him, he will be fine."
Ji Yunshu, however, was still worried. If he could be replaced once, he could be replaced a second time.
Thinking of this, something suddenly flashed through her mind. Those people not only took Lan Yin out, but also brought someone in.
How did you manage to avoid being discovered?
You know, after she came, the security in this yard was tighter than anywhere else.
Not to mention bringing one person, even if a top master came in and out, it would be difficult not to be discovered.
She ate a few mouthfuls of food and suddenly stood up: "Let's go to the place where Lan Yin was knocked unconscious."
Zhao Shen had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and go with her.
Those people are so elusive. Since they can take Lan Yin away, who knows what they will do to Ji Yunshu?
The two men found a wing room and checked everywhere, but didn't find anything wrong.
Ji Yunshu thought that the Lu family's farm was right next door. It seemed very far away in terms of space, but in terms of straight-line distance, it was actually very close.
She thought about the various closed-room murders she had seen. Why did they always have to come in and out from outside?
"Can you find out if there is any secret passage in this room?"
She doesn't understand, but Zhao Shen must understand.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Zhao Shen immediately took action.
This room was for the servants to live in and was very simply furnished. He looked around and finally knocked over the floor tiles one by one.
Finally, I found that there was something wrong with a brick under the bed.
He asked someone to move the bed, lift up the brick and several surrounding bricks, and saw a pitch-black hole underneath.
Jingzhe gasped when he saw this: "How could this happen?"
There are many things hidden in this village, and they have always guarded it very strictly.
But now this cave was simply mocking them. Someone could come and go freely in this village without them noticing.
Zhao Shen's face also darkened.
Chao Qing said, "Let me see where this secret passage leads to."
Then he jumped down the secret passage.
Zhao Shen ordered the people around him: "Let the rest of the people go and look for other secret passages."
He didn't believe that this was the only reason. Lu Ningshuang might want to rely on these secret passages to save her life.
"Especially the dark cell, check it out for me."
Ji Yunshu hadn't expected there to be a secret passage. She asked with a shudder, "How long has Lu Ningshuang been staring at you?"
This secret passage cannot be dug in a day or two.
Whenever she thought that Lu Ningshuang might have come to this farm countless times without them knowing, she felt extremely nauseous.
This woman is really good at disgusting people.
She even felt a little sympathy for Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. After a while, there was a noise coming from outside.
Just as Ji Yunshu was about to go out to see what was going on, a guard ran in and said, "A group of assassins suddenly appeared in the dark cell. They're quite skilled, and our men are no match for them."
Zhao Shen sneered: "No wonder they are so fearless. Let Shen Qin take the men and kill them all without mercy."
He had finally figured out what kind of people Lu Ningshuang was. They would either die in battle or commit suicide. Even if they were captured alive, they would all be too stubborn to pry open their mouths.
In that case, let’s all die.
The people below quickly went to pass on the message.
Zhao Shenze took Ji Yunshu back to the main house. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask him, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Zhao Shen said: "If their purpose is to save Lu Ningshuang, then Shen Qin is more than capable of handling it. If there is still you and me, it is safest for me to stay by your side."
Ji Yunshu felt that it was probably both. Lu Ningshuang risked her life, so it was impossible that she would risk her life just to get stabbed by her.
Therefore, the person who comes to rescue her will definitely attack her.
Sure enough, while the two were talking, the sound of fighting was heard outside the house.
Someone broke in through the window. Zhao Shen pushed Ji Yunshu to the corner and went to meet him.
Ji Yunshu looked at the guards beside him, not understanding why Zhao Shen would do it himself.
But before she could figure it out, more people rushed in and waved their swords at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen's sword dance was impenetrable, with blood splattering between his sword movements, which looked surprisingly beautiful.
Ji Yunshu stared at Zhao Shen motionlessly. In a trance, he seemed to see Zhao Shen in Suzhou Zhou Mansion again, with bloodshot eyes and a murderous look.
At that time, he was seriously injured and fell in her arms, which made her feel an extra urge to protect him.
Even now, he didn't need to.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Shen had already killed all the people who broke in.
He walked up to Ji Yunshu and asked calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you scared?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head and carefully wiped the blood stains from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief.
His skin was too white, and even though the blood stains were wiped clean, the corners of his eyes were still slightly red from being rubbed.
“Why do you have to do it yourself?”
Zhao Shen has always protected her well. Knowing about the secret passage and knowing that someone might come tonight, the main house was surrounded by guards.
No one could get in front of him if he didn't want to.
Zhao Shen didn't answer her question, but looked into his eyes and asked again: "Are you scared?"
Ji Yunshu seemed to have seen a corner of his heart. It was not the always gentle and kind Zhao Shen, but the Zhao Shen who was full of hostility and whom even he himself hated.
In fact, if you think about how he survived all these years, what is there to not understand?
She didn't say anything, but stood on tiptoe, holding his face and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I will never be afraid of you."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and deepened the kiss. Between breaths, he said a little aggrievedly, "But you doubted me."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Why would this person be so sharp? Wouldn't he just have to live his life in confusion?
