Chapter 277: Smoke
In the few short moments since she woke up, Shen Ningyuan had already adapted to the darkness in the room.
The outline of Xie Wanzhou could be vaguely seen beside the bed.
Shen Ningyuan's beautiful eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire as she glared at Xie Wanzhou fiercely.
And in the next moment, the hair with a cool breath brushed across the cheek and ear.
Shen Ningyuan reacted immediately, and Xie Wanzhou suddenly leaned closer to her.
Before she made any move, she felt a burning breath spreading to her cheeks.
For some reason, at this moment, Shen Ningyuan felt that her whole body was numb.
My brain is completely blank.
There is absolutely no way to think.
And that warm breath slowly brushed across my cheek and reached my ear.
The tingling sensation gradually spread from the face to the whole body.
I don't know when, a blush quietly crept onto my cheek.
The temperature on my face suddenly increased, as if it could fry an egg.
Just as her thoughts were in a mess, Xie Wanzhou whispered slowly into her ear.
"Don't make any noise, someone is releasing smoke from outside."
Hearing these words, Shen Ningyuan, who had originally run away from home, instantly returned to her senses.
The indescribable emotion in my heart disappeared in an instant.
It's as if it had never appeared.
Shen Ningyuan nodded gently, indicating that she already knew.
There is no need to imprison her anymore.
At the same time, I subconsciously held my breath.
After all, if smoke comes in and is inhaled, it is definitely not a good thing.
Once you lose consciousness, you will become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Xie Wanzhou noticed her subtle movement, and then he felt relieved a little, and then slowly moved his hands away.
In the thick darkness of the night, Shen Ningyuan seemed to have noticed something and stared at Xie Wanzhou's face.
Just because just now, she seemed to feel that the look in Xie Wanzhou's eyes when he looked at her was full of darkness and depth.
But the room was pitch black and there was no way to explore.
Seeing that she couldn't find anything unusual, Shen Ningyuan simply turned her head away slightly and looked towards the door.
With the faint moonlight coming through the window lattice, I saw a thin bamboo tube extending in from the crack in the door, with wisps of green smoke coming out of the tube.
Just at this moment, a low voice was heard coming from outside the door.
"After such a long time, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Soon, another slightly shrill voice appeared.
"I think it should be about right. This drug is a rare treasure in the martial arts world. It is of top quality."
"Or, let's wait a little longer. To be on the safe side, we don't mind a little more time." This was said by the first person who spoke.
After a while, there was a rustling sound at the door.
Shen Ningyuan immediately recognized that this was definitely someone outside, using a sharp weapon to pry the bolt.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a creaking sound was heard, and the originally closed door was slowly pushed open.
A burly man rushed in with a big knife in his hand.
But just as he entered the door, for some reason, his body staggered uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the room was pitch black and the people behind him could not see anything unusual.
However, in just a moment, a strong smell of blood spread.
The two strong men who had not yet entered the door realized that something was wrong.
The two men turned around and ran away as soon as they realized something was wrong, but they were still a step too late.
There was a sudden chill at the neck, where a dagger was pressing tightly against it.
Faced with this life-threatening situation, the two strong men naturally did not dare to act rashly.
What followed was the heavy sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"Don't move, be quiet!" Shen Ningyuan's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.
"Mercy... please let me go..."
One of them could not resist the fear in his heart and begged for mercy directly.
Even his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand steadily.
He was obviously frightened.
Xie Wanzhou held a big knife in his hand.
It was snatched from the hands of the burly man who broke in first.
The moment the burly man rushed in, he was strangled by Xie Wanzhou.
At this point, he was dead beyond death.
He has already reported to the King of Hell.
In the thick darkness of the night, the words spoken by Xie Wanzhou were even colder than the ice that had existed for thousands of years.
"Tell me, who sent you here? Was it Ji Yunchuan?"
Shen Ningyuan was not concerned about this matter. What she was more worried about was the secret guards hiding in the dark of Xiyuanju?
What about Yi Ge, Lan Yin and others who are guarding outside?
Where did they all go?
What is the current situation?
Is your life in danger?
There are too many questions in my mind.
But he did not interrupt Xie Wanzhou's question rashly.
In fact, Shen Ningyuan was confused about everything that happened tonight.
But one thing that is beyond doubt is that what happened today was most likely caused by Ji Yunchuan.
There would be no one else except him.
The two people who were held hostage were terrified.
After all, your life depends on other people's thoughts.
The feeling of being controlled by others is really terrifying!
The man held hostage by Xie Wanzhou did not dare to hesitate at all. He swallowed hard, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his voice was intermittent when he spoke.
"Hero, spare me...you...what did you say? I don't understand..."
Xie Wanzhou didn't expect that even when he was about to die, he would still be so stubborn.
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Because of his anger, the aura he exuded was even more intimidating.
His voice was more fierce and cold than ever before.
"You won't cry until you see the coffin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the big knife in Xie Wanzhou's hand moved closer to the sturdy man's neck.
In an instant, blood gushed out from his neck.
Tiny and dense beads of blood oozed out.
"We really don't know... We are just looking for money... No one is instructing us..."
Shen Ningyuan's patience has run out.
Don't want to waste any more time.
Logically speaking, with such a big thing happening in Xiyuanju, there shouldn't be any movement in the entire marquis' mansion.
Where have all the secret guards who were guarding in the dark gone?
Shen Ningyuan's eyes flashed, and the dagger in his hand instantly stabbed the sturdy man's thigh.
The strong man was so stimulated by the sudden pain in his legs that he kept wailing.
Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Veins bulged on his face, and it was obvious that he was in extreme pain.
Shen Ningyuan had no mercy on this.
A pair of pitch-black eyes emitted a chilling light in the night.
The tone was icy cold.
"Why don't you tell the truth? Then I'll send you to hell!"
There was a murderous intent on his body.
One cannot even doubt that what she said at this moment was false in the slightest.
"Who sent you? Is it Ji Yunchuan?"
The strong man burst into tears.
Enduring the unbearable pain of life.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally revealed some specific information.
