Chapter 274: Making Her Angry
At this moment, Xie Wanzhou truly felt the cold murderous aura emanating from Shen Ningyuan.
He also realized very clearly that if there was anything wrong with what he said next, today would not end well.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanzhou's brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to explain to Shen Ningyuan.
He really didn't mean what happened today.
Who could have thought that it would be such a coincidence that I would run into her bathing as soon as I arrived at Xiyuanju.
What is this?
Chen Ningyuan's eyes looked as if he was the shameless playboy.
It's like he's done something unforgivable.
But in fact, he was more wronged than Dou E.
Not only did he do nothing, he was even looked down upon by his loved ones.
Xie Wanzhou was literally in tears.
Fortunately, he had excellent self-control and did not show any abnormality on his face.
Shen Ningyuan stared at him without blinking, as if she wanted to stare two holes in his face.
Xie Wanzhou knew that he was the one who was at fault in today's incident.
If you continue to worry about it, you will definitely suffer the consequences.
His sight was erratic, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Ningyuan at all.
Xie Wanzhou cleared his throat and spoke as if nothing had happened.
"You asked me to meet you to ask about the transfer of the token, right?"
In his opinion, the best way was to just brush the matter aside.
If we continue this topic, both of us will be embarrassed.
It is natural to feel restrained when getting along with each other.
Shen Ningyuan knew what he was thinking.
The look in her eyes became increasingly cold and dark, and her delicate and charming little face was tense.
The whole person was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, exuding a chilling aura.
Shen Ningyuan glared at him fiercely.
Thinking of the embarrassing thing that just happened, I felt a little indignant.
Fortunately, I still have some rationality.
They didn't fall out in public.
It was just because of this that she remembered that Xie Wanzhou had visited her bedroom at night several times before.
But I have never encountered such an embarrassing thing.
I think this was probably an accident.
This is a confusing account in the first place. No matter how you calculate it, you will suffer losses.
Besides, it was I who made the appointment with him.
Shen Ningyuan could only suppress the anger in her heart.
He nodded with an indifferent look.
"How did Ji Yunchuan transfer the things?"
The An Ning Marquis Mansion was basically under her complete control, and the servants in the mansion did not dare to betray her.
Shen Ningyuan was really puzzled.
But she also knew that Xie Wanzhou would never deceive her about this matter.
When it comes to dealing with the An Ning Marquis Mansion, the two people stand on the same front.
As the saying goes, when one suffers, all suffer; when one prospers, all prosper.
Both of them knew this very well.
Xie Wanzhou understood her anxiety and did not keep her in suspense, so he spoke directly.
"Two days ago, I received news that someone was secretly selling the treasures of the An Ning Marquis's Mansion, and the white jade Guanyin statue was among them."
Shen Ningyuan widened her eyes in disbelief.
I couldn't believe what I heard.
My head was buzzing and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
this……
How is this possible?
Who would be so bold?
Who is actually betraying his own people?
If she finds out, she will definitely make him live a life worse than death!
However, before Shen Ningyuan had digested the news, she heard Xie Wanzhou continue.
"When I first received the news, I didn't believe it, but after sending someone to investigate secretly, I found out that it was Ji Yunchuan who did it."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan suddenly remembered Ji Yunchuan’s abnormal behavior a few days ago.
No wonder, when Ji Yunchuan returned to the mansion, he didn't come to trouble her immediately, but stayed quiet for a few days.
So this is where the problem lies.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't stop regretting.
Why was she so cautious, waiting for Ji Yunchuan to reveal his true colors?
As a result, her caution caused a big mistake.
Shen Ningyuan closed her eyes tightly, trying to calm herself down.
The fingertips pinched hard into the palm, leaving one crescent-shaped mark after another.
He clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from showing any fear.
It took her a while to adjust her mood.
He raised his head, looked at Xie Wanzhou with sharp eyes, and asked word by word.
"From the looks of you, it seems you haven't found the white jade Guanyin statue."
Xie Wanzhou was not surprised by her intelligence.
Although it's embarrassing to admit it, it's the truth.
He smiled helplessly and nodded in acknowledgement.
"After the white jade Guanyin statue passed through several hands, I finally found out about it, but it was too late. Someone had moved it away in advance."
Shen Ningyuan's long eyelashes drooped, and after pondering for a moment, she moved her gaze to his face, raised her eyebrows, and asked.
"So what should we do next? We must get the white jade Guanyin statue. Otherwise, we have to go through the trouble of looking for other evidence."
But in that case, it wouldn't be a big problem to bring down the entire Ji family.
It’s just that everything the Ji family has done over the years, one by one, is simply too numerous to list.
It is not difficult to find substantial evidence.
But the difficulty is that if you want to follow the clues and eliminate the person behind the Ji family, it will be absolutely as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Xie Wanzhou understood her subtext and felt sad.
"I will continue to send people to look for the white jade Guanyin statue, but I guess the chances of finding it are slim. It's probably been destroyed."
Hatred surged in Shen Ningyuan's heart.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Said bitterly.
"You have finished what you wanted to say, it's late, I want to go to bed!"
This is an order to expel you.
How could Xie Wanzhou not hear it?
There are so many words stuck in my throat, but I don't know how to express them.
In the end, all the words came down to one sentence: "The next few days will not be peaceful, so don't get involved in this mess."
When Xie Wanzhou turned around and was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by outside the window out of the corner of his eye.
His face suddenly froze.
He turned back suddenly, and his eyes were staring out the window like a hawk.
He exudes a strong aura of oppression.
Shen Ningyuan noticed his abnormality and frowned slightly, not understanding what was going on?
Does it always make him look as if he is facing a formidable enemy?
Confused, I just asked directly, "What's wrong?"
The clear and gentle voice gradually melted away the cold aura surrounding Xie Wanzhou.
"Just now a dark shadow flashed by. You wait here. I will be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Wanzhou jumped out of the window.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the thick night.
Shen Ningyuan naturally knew that what he had just said was definitely not groundless.
A blessing suddenly came to his mind, and his face suddenly turned as cold as ice.
Shen Ningyuan walked quickly to the window, stuck her head out and looked around.
But all I saw was the cool night wind blowing the leaves in front of the corridor, making a rustling sound.
Apart from this, there is nothing unusual.
"Someone come."
However, after calling for a long time, there was no response.
Unless the secret guards' lives are in danger, they will never leave their posts without permission.
And since no one responded for such a long time, he must have been led away on purpose.
