Chapter 43 A Bad Premonition
Unfortunately.
Chu Ning ultimately failed to stop the woman from dying.
The woman failed to pull out the dagger, but she grabbed the handle of the dagger and stabbed it hard in the chest.
Before he died, his eyes looked at Chu Ning as if he was looking at a dead person.
Is this woman coming for me? Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat. But, had he ever offended her?
One thing is certain, I have never seen this woman. She is quite pretty, and if I had seen her I would definitely have an impression of her.
Were the relatives of those he had killed come to seek revenge on him? While thinking quickly, Chu Ning did not stand still, but instead searched the three people for a while.
Both the woman and the middle-aged man had several banknotes on them.
But this time he was not searching the corpses for wealth. When he searched the body of the dude, Chu Ning's eyes lit up.
There was a jade plaque on the dandy's waist.
He touched the corpse because he wanted to know the origins of these three people.
There are three words engraved on the jade plate: Wushuangmen.
Is the martial arts sect mentioned by Tang Ruowei a gang? Chu Ning had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that it was a martial arts sect. How could a gang let a strong man close to a general be a guard?
"Mr. Chu, what's going on?"
Behind him, Ruan Jinqiang's shocked voice was heard.
Chu Ning silently put the jade token into his sleeve, turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Ruan, where did you go just now?"
As Huang Xuan's bodyguard, Ruan Jinqiang was not with Huang Xuan, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
"I just ran into someone I know and stepped away for a bit."
Ruan Jinqiang squatted down and helped Huang Xuan up: "Is it the young master who was injured by these people?"
Chu Ning stared at Ruan Jinqiang carefully for a while. The self-blame on his face was genuine. Then he said, "Xiaoxuan had been knocked unconscious when I arrived. By the way, these people seem to be from Wushuang Sect."
"Wushuangmen?"
Ruan Jinqiang's expression changed instantly, and he ran out the door: "Mr. Chu, please take care of the young master first, and seal off the second floor. Don't let anyone know what happened here."
Looking at Ruan Jinqiang's hurriedly leaving back, Chu Ning's heart was filled with a layer of haze. He saw clearly the expression on Ruan Jinqiang's face when he heard the three words "Wushuangmen".
The expression was one of shock and fear.
Chu Ning, with a sullen face, patted Jin Le to wake him up. When Jin Le opened his eyes, his face was filled with anger at first, but when he saw clearly that it was Chu Ning, his expression returned to normal.
"Take a breath first."
It was easy to get out of breath if he spoke immediately after fainting, but fortunately Jin Le was a warrior, and he recovered after taking a few deep breaths.
"Chu Ning, those people were looking for trouble on purpose. They were in the box opposite, but the woman knew Xiaoxuan and came in to talk for a while. Who would have thought that a man would come in angrily a little while later and started fighting as soon as he came in. He first injured Xiaoxuan's guard..."
After listening to Jin Le's story, Chu Ning understood what was going on.
Jin Le and Huang Xuan had booked this private room in advance, but the woman who had committed suicide came knocking on the door. Huang Xuan called her sister, which meant that the woman was also from the Huang family and of the same generation as Huang Xuan.
The woman entered the box, exchanged a few words with Huang Xuan and then left. Unexpectedly, a man came in angrily a few minutes later and started fighting without saying a word.
The first to be knocked down were the three guards, followed by Huang Xuan. When Jin Le saw Huang Xuan being knocked down, he stepped forward to help, but ended up being knocked down as well.
Chu Ning pondered for a moment and asked Jin Le, "Can you walk now?"
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
Jin Le tried to stand up, with a look of pain on his face, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Go to the capital city to find my teacher and tell him what happened here. These people are from a sect called Wushuang Sect."
The teacher is not in Daning County these days, but has gone to the Chen family in the provincial capital with his wife.
"Okay, I'll go now. How about here?"
"Leave this to me, just follow me first."
Chu Ning took Jin Le to the window facing the backyard, then grabbed Jin Le's arm and landed on the backyard along the wall like a gecko.
"Go through the backyard and try not to alarm anyone else."
Jin Le's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chu Ning's serious expression, but he didn't ask why. Instead, he nodded heavily and said, "Chu Ning, I promise to inform Instructor Liu as quickly as possible."
After watching Jin Le leave, Chu Ning jumped back to the second floor. He didn't rush to wake Huang Xuan up, but walked out of the box, leaned against the railing and said to the downstairs: "It's not a big deal. Someone got drunk and caused trouble. It's been resolved."
When the guests sitting in the lobby heard Chu Ning say this, many of them who were looking towards the second floor withdrew their gazes.
It is only natural for people to drink and cause trouble.
Lord Chu can definitely get it done if he takes action.

"Call the manager of your Yihongyuan." Chu Ning shouted at the waiter who was about to go upstairs.
After a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties came over gracefully.
"Lord Chu!"
Swoosh! Chu Ning placed his long sword directly on the opponent's shoulder.
"If you dare to tell a lie, your head will be moved."
The madam was trembling with fear, and she almost couldn't stand still. She stammered, "Chu... Lord Chu, it has nothing to do with me. Someone just found me and said that they were going to hold an event to select an oiran. They gave our Yihongyuan 100 taels. The silver note in the invitation was also given by that person."
"Go on!"
"No...nothing. That person said that he actually wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with you, Master Chu, and then arrange for the Oiran to accompany you."
Chu Ning frowned and retracted the knife. The madam could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground like a pile of mud.
Is it really targeting him? Huang Xuan was just caught in the trap?
wrong.
Chu Ning shook his head. If they were targeting him, why would they make such a fuss? Would a police chief like him need to spend so much money? "Who knew that those people in the next room were here?"
"This...this...this I don't know. I was busy entertaining guests all day and didn't pay attention to these."
"Stand here and don't let anyone else come up to the second floor."
Knowing that he could not get any more useful information from the madam, Chu Ning gave up asking and asked the madam to guard the stairs to the second floor. Fortunately, the Yihongyuan in this town was small, with only two private rooms on the entire second floor, so no one else would show up at this moment.
The two boxes were facing each other across the lobby below, with staircases on both sides. But precisely because there were only two boxes, it meant that no matter which box had an accident, the people in the other box would be the biggest suspects.
Chu Ning turned around and pinched Huang Xuan's philtrum to wake him up.
"Brother Chu!"
When Huang Xuan woke up, he saw the joy on Chu Ning's face. But when he saw the few people who had died in the box, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Brother Chu, this... this person is my cousin."
Huang Xuan pointed at the woman who committed suicide, with a complicated expression: "She...she is the daughter of Uncle Zhongxing, born to Uncle Zhongxing's aunt..."
"Sir, you're awake."
Ruan Jinqiang happened to appear at this time, and also climbed out of the window from the backyard wall, holding a corpse in his hand, and interrupted Huang Xuan's words.
