Chapter 1253 The Returnee's Notes 327
Black Egg, like Wang Ze, couldn't jump up, but jumping off such a high wall was no problem for it. So, after Xie Ning climbed the wall, it landed lightly first.
Originally, no one was supposed to come to this corner that Xie Ning had chosen, but Xue Li was so angry that he wandered around the yard and ended up coming face to face with Xie Ning.
"you......"
Xue Li's eyes widened. He recognized Xie Ning, although the current Xie Ning was different from the one at school. She wore a topknot and a black robe that looked like a round-necked gown.
The two exchanged glances. Seeing Xie Ning's slightly cold gaze, Xue Li felt a chill run down his spine and quickly whispered, "I won't expose you."
He knew Xie Ning was the person Chen Qi wanted to kill before. Not only that, he also knew that Xie Ning had connections with special departments... The more Xue Li thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He believed that Xie Ning was sent by them to deal with that old man, and perhaps he could get out through Xie Ning.
Xue Li glanced outside, then at Xie Ning, whose expression remained calm, and guessed that there must be a large crowd outside, and the old man was about to die!
Otherwise, Xie Ning wouldn't have dared to come in so boldly; he must have come to scout ahead first.
Xie Ning put away the needles in her hand and nodded slightly.
"Go in first."
Seeing Xie Ning go to open the small door, Xue Li quickly followed, "This door is..." locked.
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Ning opened the door with just a wire.
Inside was a small corridor. Although it was daytime, the house had few windows, so it would be quite dark inside if the lights weren't on.
The two entered the storage room that Xue Li had mentioned.
"This place is well-hidden. I... may I ask which department you're from? Are the police here too? Why are you the only one who came in...?"
Xue Li had many questions he wanted to ask, but at first he only picked a few that he most wanted to know.
Just as Xue Li looked at Xie Ning expectantly, Xie Ning did not answer his question directly. Instead, she lowered her eyes to meet Xue Li's gaze and said, "There is a trapping formation outside."
Before Xue Li could answer, he asked again, "Who are you?"
Xie Ning knew that Xue Li was probably an outsider and not one of the people in the courtyard, but she didn't know why he was there.
"I....."
Xue Li was somewhat displeased, but he still answered Xie Ning's question first.
He briefly mentioned Chen Qi, but of course, he didn't reveal Chen Qi's name or any other information. He only said that they had come seeking medical treatment and hadn't expected there to be a trap inside.
There's no news about Chen Qi right now, and he wants to go and investigate with Xie Ning.
What Xue Li didn't mention was that he originally wanted to run away, but Xie Ning said there was a trap outside, which must have been set up by that old man Yue.
It would be better to tear this place down with Xie Ning. Since it's clear the other party doesn't want to let us go, there's no point in just cowering and waiting to die. He can still walk freely in the yard now, so it's probably not time yet.
He's afraid of bullets, but he can still do bad things in secret. At worst, if he gets caught, he can just blame Xie Ning. It's like the saying goes, "Better to die for your friend than for yourself."
Xie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly, then asked if there were any security cameras in the house. After getting a general idea, she walked closer and heard a voice outside, "Someone's here."
Xue Li was startled and looked towards the door. In that instant, Xie Ning's hand chopped down, and Xue Li fainted.
Even a hand chop requires skill. Xie Ning was able to knock someone unconscious because she had just aimed at Xue Li's carotid sinus on the side of his neck. There are pressure receptors inside that can sense the stimulation of the blood vessel walls when blood pressure rises, and then send signals to the brain, causing the internal organs to dilate blood vessels, slow down the heart rate, and lower blood pressure.
For example, some people with low blood pressure are prone to dizziness, and stimulation of the carotid sinus can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can make people feel dizzy or faint quickly.
Xie Ning knew how to use force, so Xue Li only fainted from the shock. To be on the safe side, Xie Ning gave him some sleeping pills to make him sleep longer.
How could she possibly trust Xue Li, a complete stranger, especially one who was connected to the person who had tried to kill her?
Xie Ning could see Xue Li's fear of this place. Perhaps Xue Li really wanted to cooperate with her and could provide greater assistance, but she didn't need to right now and was unwilling to take the risk of being betrayed.
