The car arrived at Changji Apartment. Looking at the magnificent community, Ma Yingbei whistled.
"This is the most luxurious apartment complex in Changjing City, the most splendid and extravagant. It's fully equipped, but the units are limited in number. Many wealthy people can't even afford one. So, Master, do you have assets here?"
Ma Yingbei's eyes sparkled, and the words "Rich woman, looking for support" were almost written on her face.
Wen Xi opened the door and got out of the car. "I'm here to look for someone. You can go back first."
Ma Yingbei rolled down the window and asked, "Master, are you going to be gone for a long time?"
"It should be soon."
"Then I'll wait for you here and take you home."
Ma Yingbei grinned and smiled ingratiatingly, adhering to the Ma family's spirit of persistence, he just didn't believe that he couldn't succeed in becoming a disciple!
Wen Xi thought, "Alright, then you wait for me at the door, I'll be back soon."
Thinking that it wouldn't be long and he could still go back and catch up on some sleep, Wen Xi let him wait.
When Wen Xi entered the community, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the roar of lightning made people feel uneasy.
Ma Yingbei glanced at the dark clouds that only covered the upper part of the community, frowned, and felt that something was strange.
The entire Changji Apartment complex is as beautiful as a resort, but it's very desolate. I walked for such a long time but didn't see a single person.
The tall security guard led Wen Xi inside and came to the bottom of Building 13. He swiped her card and opened the door.
He said enthusiastically, "Our complex is all sold out, with only Building 13 remaining vacant. This building belongs to our boss, and he lives there himself. He usually lives in Room 1001. You can go upstairs directly; they should all be there right now!"
"them?"
Wen Xi's eyes flashed, and after nodding and thanking him, he took the elevator all the way to the 10th floor.
I rang the doorbell of Room 1001 and heard footsteps after a while.
Soon, someone opened the door.
"Why is it you?"
The two men stared at each other with wide eyes and said in unison.
The gentle and elegant Nangong Jue smiled lightly, "Wen Xi, long time no see."
"Nangong Jue, why are you here too?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that Nangong Jue was also invited. What exactly does this Xiao family want to do?
"You were also invited by Uncle Xiao, right? Come in first and let's talk."
"good."
Wen Xi walked in and saw the minimalist duplex decoration in the apartment, and she felt the urge to buy a house here.
"Ajue, who's here?"
A low voice sounded, and Wen Xi looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a white coat meditating on the sofa. Although his face looked young, he had a head of gray hair.
"I'm a friend of mine, Wen Xi!"
Nangong Jue answered respectfully.
"Wen Xi?"
The man suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Wen Xi with a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes. The look in his eyes was mixed with coldness and hostility, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"This is my uncle, Nangong Wenzheng."
Nangong Jue stood in front of Wen Xi without leaving any trace and quietly introduced her.
"I don't know him well, do I?"
Is it necessary to look at her like this?
"Are you Wen Xi? You're the one who kidnapped Ajue and left Changjing City last time?"
This person seemed to have four ears and could hear her voice, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Huh? 'Kidnapped' isn't the right word."
Wen Xi calmly walked around Nangong Jue, slowly came to Nangong Wen Zheng, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and smiled at him.
Nangong Wenzheng frowned and said unhappily, "Is this how you treat your elders? Sit directly across from me?"
Wen Xi's eyes widened as she said cutely, "What's wrong? This sofa is placed here, isn't it for people to sit on? Is it for people to stand on? It's unbelievable."
"Sharp-tongued!"
“Thank you so much!”
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said, "Besides, what I said is the truth. Nangong Jue is such a grown man, how could I kidnap him? He is not a three-year-old baby who can be kidnapped so easily."
Nangong Wenzheng's eyes darkened. "Then you know that if Jue leaves Changjing City, his life will be in danger."
"I know, isn't it because of the curse?"
Wen Xi lifted the hair beside her ear and answered calmly.
Nangong Wenzheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pursed his lips and asked coldly, "When Jue first told me that you knew about this curse, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that you really knew about it?"
"Isn't this something that anyone with a discerning eye can see? But at the beginning, I didn't really understand Nangong Jue's curse. Now..."
"What do you know? Tell me now!"
Nangong Wen Zheng's tone of command.
"Ah ha? You are Nangong Jue's elder, not my elder. You asked me to speak, and I will speak? That would be too embarrassing."
Wen Xi tilted his head, a cunning look flashing in his eyes.
Nangong Wenzheng took a deep breath, "Aren't you Ajue's friend?"
"Even if I'm Nangong Jue's friend, I have no obligation to help other members of the Nangong family."
Wen Xi said in an enigmatic manner, "As far as I know, the curse carrier isn't just Nangong Jue, right?"
This one sentence made Nangong Wen Zheng's pupils tremble, and his expression, which was usually fearless in the face of danger, changed slightly.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?"
A mellow voice sounded, and as the door of the room opened, a slender figure walked out from inside, with a faint smile on his sharp face, breaking their stiff atmosphere.
"Happy? I don't think the topics we talked about were happy enough."
Wen Xi stared at him with scrutiny in her eyes.
"Are you Wen Xi?"
He raised his eyebrows, looking like he was smiling.
"Yes, I am Wen Xi! I am here to take the Devil's Hand!"
Wen Xi said bluntly.
"You want the Devil's Hand too?"
Nangong Wen Zheng frowned and lost the desire to meditate. He slowly stood up, holding a string of red beads in his hand, and slowly turned them.
"Oh? What? Are you planning to take over the Devil's Hand as well?"
Wen Xi looked at them unkindly, "The Devil's Hand is mine."
"Humph, the Devil's Hand still belongs to Mr. Xiao now, it has nothing to do with you."
"The devil's hand is only safe with me."
Wen Xi looked at Xiao Changji and said bluntly, "Mr. Xiao should have a deep understanding of this matter. This kind of strange item will bring bad luck to anyone who keeps it with them. I believe the Xiao family must have encountered this several times."
The smile on Xiao Changji's handsome face slowly faded. He walked to the bar, took a few tall wine glasses, and poured red wine into them one by one.
"Yes, we did encounter it, so I invited you all here."
Xiao Changji handed wine glasses to Nangong Wenzhen and Nangong Jue. The two felt embarrassed to refuse, so they took them but didn't drink.
