Chapter 193 Ferryman's Dungeon (16)
The monster's snoring was so loud that the house seemed to be shaking slightly with the sound like thunder.
It blocked the door of the house tightly, and Ning Hanqi could not get in from here, but fortunately there were windows in the house.
Ning Hanqi was just about to open the window and climb in when she suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her. She immediately withdrew her hand and looked up at the sky behind her.
There were mostly some Chaofeng beasts squatting on the corners of the eaves of this house. Their eyes were always staring at everything that happened in the house, and those windows were under the surveillance of the Chaofeng beasts. If she opened the windows like this, it would definitely attract the attention of those Chaofeng beasts!
This shows that this house is indeed special. Simply opening the window and climbing in will easily alert the group of wind-mocking beasts, so one must find a way to cover up the abnormality caused by one's actions.
"Come on, tell me what you did and who ordered you to do it." Xia Yingnuan patted the man's swollen face. "Then choose between prison and graveyard."
"Prison! Please call the police, please!" It seemed that only the police could bring him more sense of security now.
"Prison? Um... are you in trouble?" Xia Yingnuan seemed a little unhappy. She pulled a knife from her pocket and pressed the sharp blade against the man's face. "What if you turn the tables again? Or should I just get rid of you? You chose a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, what a great spot!"
"No, I won't!" The man shook his head vigorously. "I swear!"
[Host, something's happening with the male protagonist.] The system discovered that Long Chendong's coordinates had changed.
Xia Yingnuan paused, loosened her grip, and let the man's head hit the ground. The knife then happened to get stuck in the ground next to his ear. Although he was not injured, he was frightened to faint.
"Come out?" Ning Hanqi let him go so easily?
No way? Based on Xia Yingnuan's understanding of Ning Hanqi, Long Chendong and Zhao Guangxu had conspired to plot against her sister, and skinning those two was a minor offense.
Could it be that... Ning Hanqi has already started planning to kill Long Chendong? After all, in order to kill him, Long Chendong must be outside. The more Xia Yingnuan thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high.
It doesn’t matter whether Long Chendong is dead or alive, but Ning Hanqi must be alive, preferably alive with clean hands. It’s not worth getting your hands dirty for that thing.
She thought about it and considered taking the initiative, such as beating Long Chendong into a vegetable in the middle of the night. This way, her plan could be implemented and Ning Hanqi could vent his anger, and maybe he would not want to kill him anymore.
But what should she do with the person under her feet? Xia Yingnuan kicked the unconscious person twice, but the other person didn't move.
"Well, that old man seems to be almost 110 years old." Mr. Shan twirled his beard and made an inference based on what his old friend had casually mentioned.
"110 years old?!" Shan Yun used her limited historical knowledge to make an estimate. "Wasn't that master born during the Republic of China?"
Wow, is this a humanoid antique?
But... at this age, can the old man's body really handle such difficult tasks?
Hearing his granddaughter's doubts, Grandpa Shan snorted, "That old man is in great shape and can even run around the mountain twice a day. Unlike you? You were asked to accompany Grandpa for morning exercises, but after only a few hundred meters you clung to a tree and refused to move!"
Having her weakness exposed, Shan Yun chuckled a little embarrassedly and said, "That old man is quite amazing. He's almost become an immortal, right?"
"The old man will be here in the next two days. Before that, I'll trouble you to take care of it." The old man expressed his gratitude to Ning Hanqi again.
"It's not a trouble. My boyfriend is Sister Shan's friend, so it's my duty to help." Ning Hanqi waved his hand.
"Oh, so that's how it is." The old man then understood the relationship between the younger generations. He never thought that his silly little granddaughter would be so lucky.
As she was talking, her boyfriend walked in from outside. Xia Yingnuan casually threw the blood-stained hammer, the broken mirror and a blood-stained shirt onto the coffee table.
Except for Ning Hanqi, everyone's expression changed.
There was nothing wrong inside the Shan family's old house, but there was a small hill behind the house, which was developed into a leisure park many years ago. Since the hill was not facing the old house, it did not violate the feng shui taboo, but Xia Yingnuan felt something was weird when looking at the hill.
If someone wants to do something here, but can't do anything inside, wouldn't there be arrangements outside?
So Xia Yingnuan thought about it and decided to go to the mountain to take a look. As expected, she found the trick. On the side of the mountain top facing the old house, she felt evil spirits. When she dug in the problematic land, she dug out these three things.
Hammer and bloody clothes...
Shan Yun suddenly remembered a murder that happened not far from here a few years ago. That murder remains unsolved to this day. The murderer, the murder weapon, and the skirt of the deceased have all disappeared without a trace...
"Ms. Shan Yun, have you thought of anything?" Ning Hanqi felt that Shan Yun looked like she had remembered something.
Shan Yun spoke of the murder case with a serious expression. Did someone use the murder weapon and the deceased's clothes to target her family, or was this murder case designed to target her family from the very beginning?
It seems that the plot against their family started a long time ago. Unfortunately, the old Feng Shui master was still alive at that time, so the real culprit behind the scenes did not succeed. However, the other party was also capable and remained dormant until the old Feng Shui master died without being discovered by the other party.
Ning Hanqi looked at Xia Yingnuan and asked, "Nuannuan, did you see anything else on that mountain?"
The ghost of the person who died tragically is likely to be wandering around. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party's resentment is so great that it attracted the attention of the game, and then absorbed it into the copy.
"No, apart from these three things, the mountain is very clean." Xia Yingnuan shook her head.
"I didn't expect... our family's affairs might involve a life." The old man was so angry that he kept coughing and could no longer speak calmly.
"Grandpa, please go back and rest first. Leave this to us." Shan Yun was afraid that Grandpa would suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease if he continued listening, so she wanted to help him back to the room.
"Everyone, go back and rest. We won't get anywhere if we gather here now. We might as well wait until they arrive tomorrow to test the other party." Xia Yingnuan said, "I'll pack these three things and throw them in the corner. Be careful not to let anyone else touch them."
"Okay, the little girl doesn't look well, she should go to bed early." Old Master Shan no longer insisted. He stood up with the help of his crutches and asked Shan Jun to entertain the guests well. He then went back to his room.
The guest room had been cleaned up long ago, and Shan Yun was pushed back to her room by the nanny. After Shan Yun brought the guest to the guest room, she did not disturb him too much. Knowing the relationship between the one person and the ghost, they did not bother to arrange two rooms. Ning Hanqi sat on the soft quilt. After a day of running around, people who were not in good health were inevitably a little tired.
But she still didn't rest immediately. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and logged into the forum to read the latest information about the ghost and god copy.
Although the Ghost and God copy does not have a large amount of information pouring into the forum every day like the ordinary copy, news is still refreshed occasionally. The main reason is that the death rate of the Ghost and God copy is too high. When they were in the sea amusement park before, it was the Sea God who released a sea of water at the end, but others were not so lucky.
Ning Hanqi had heard of the bosses of other ghost and god copies, including the administrators mentioned above. They also had their own copies, but their levels were already in line with the rules, so whether they opened a copy or not was entirely up to them.
After eliminating the copies of those administrators, there are not many ghost-level copies left, and there are also a few bosses whose strength Ning Hanqi knows and can be eliminated.
Xia Yingnuan kicked him twice in disgust, completely forgetting that she was the one who scared him unconscious.
Xia Yingnuan picked up the other person's phone with the screen turned off, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and then took pictures of all the messages between him and the "mysterious man". Ning Hanqi had to be aware of this matter and couldn't let other random people take advantage of the opportunity to get close to Ning Yutian.
As for this person, it would be a pity to just discard him. Why not reuse the waste?
——————
Long Chendong was finally released from the detention center. His secretary hurriedly drove to pick him up, wanting him to return to the company to take charge of the situation, but his boss gave him another address - the best teahouse in the city.
The secretary was left outside, and Long Chendong asked the waiter
He didn't want to rush up to deliver the message to Ning Hanqi. He wanted to keep Ning Hanqi hanging, but before he came out, the only major project the company was carrying out had problems. It was obvious that this was a warning from Ning Hanqi, and no matter how much he hated it, Long Chendong could only endure it.
In the past, the Song and Ning families combined were no match for his Long family! Unlike now, he still had to rely on others for a while! Ultimately, if it weren't for Song Qinuan, how could he have ended up like this!
Long Chendong, who had just entered the teahouse, stepped out again and said to the confused secretary, "Go contact some of the best masters in the industry, no matter how much it costs."
Master? Even though Long Chendong's secretary was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still a little confused by the boss's request. "Is he... a master of Feng Shui?"
"Anything that can catch ghosts will do. Go to the warm queue now." Although Song Qinuan's "ghost" hadn't appeared again, she was a thorn in Long Chendong's heart. So he wanted to find someone to destroy Song Qinuan's tomb and scatter her soul so that even if she became a ghost, she wouldn't be able to cause trouble to him! Then he also needed to buy some ghost-proof items.
President Long is really a little bit abnormal! The secretary was worried, but for the sake of his own job, he still followed his boss's orders and went to find those powerful masters.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Long Chendong came to the tea room reserved by Ning Hanqi. The other party had already been sitting inside waiting for him. He sat directly opposite Ning Hanqi, picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it all, and then put it heavily on the table.
"Ning Hanqi, you are despicable and shameless!"
"I just reminded Mr. Long not to forget the transaction." How could Ning Hanqi not realize what a wicked person Long Chendong was? He was just predicting his prediction.
"...Don't forget, the answer you want can only be given by me, Yingdao." Long Chendong felt that he had the bargaining chip to negotiate with Ning Hanqi on an equal footing.
"Song Qinuan is already dead. I want to get the answer, but that doesn't mean I have to get it. Don't threaten the wrong person." Ning Hanqi's eyes were filled with obvious contempt.
Long Chendong felt that his self-esteem was seriously hurt, and his face turned pale in an instant. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false.
"Don't believe it?" Ning Hanqi knew what Long Chendong was thinking from the look in his eyes. She chuckled, suddenly stood up and said, "If that's the case, then the deal is void."
As soon as Ning Hanqi finished speaking, Long Chendong's phone rang. He glanced at Ning Hanqi and answered it directly. The panicked voice on the other end made his face change drastically.
The big project he was working on was directly stopped, and someone came to his company to check the accounts. There was also something about the Nuanquan environmental protection not meeting the standards. Anyway, the company was already in chaos.
The culprit is now leisurely pouring a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
Long Chendong hung up the phone and stared at Ning Hanqi with a sinister look.
Ning Hanqi didn't take him seriously and made a move to leave after drinking his tea.
Long Chendong was anxious. He couldn't let Ning Hanqi ruin the good situation he had worked so hard to create. Seeing Ning Hanqi about to grab her bag and leave, he hurriedly said, "Don't you like Song Qinuan? Don't you want to know what she thinks?"
Ning Hanqi paused slightly. She stood beside Long Chendong, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"When did I say I like Song Qinuan?" Ning Hanqi's tone was cold, as if he was talking about an unimportant person.
What Long Chendong wanted to say was stuck in his throat. His plan was based on the fact that Ning Hanqi liked Song Qinuan, but the other party overturned this foundation with just one sentence.
"You, you don't like her?"
"Why should I like her?"
Long Chendong couldn't find any flaws in her expression. Did Ning Hanqi not like Song Qinuan? So it was just Song Qinuan's unrequited love in the past?
He was shocked. So that crazy woman Song Qinuan was willing to bet everything on a secret crush she had for an unrequited love?
"Ha...haha..." Long Chendong suddenly burst into laughter, because he found that the one who suffered the most was not himself, but Song Qinuan, who lost both his money and his life, and only got a word "I don't like it" from the other party.
"What are you laughing at?" Ning Hanqi frowned.
"I just feel sorry for Song Qinuan. She gave up her self-respect and family property for the person she loved, and sacrificed everything she had. Even after she died and became a ghost, she would still protect that person. But the other person didn't like her at all. Isn't it pitiful?" Long Chendong looked up at Ning Hanqi's face, which was still as calm as water, without any sign of wavering.
Now he was sure that Ning Hanqi really didn't like the other person.
Without his support, Long Chendong's spirit collapsed. Facing Ning Hanqi, he had no choice but to compromise and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
What Ning Hanqi wanted to ask was simply about what she felt was a little strange about Song Qinuan, but what the other party had just said had almost solved half of the mystery for her.
Song Qinuan...likes me?
Ning Hanqi was not as calm as Long Chendong thought, but she was more patient than ordinary people and tried not to reveal any flaws in front of the enemy. But even so, she was almost exposed at that moment. Perhaps she was too shocked, so her expression did not change in time.
She never thought that Song Qinuan would like her.
"When my father was still alive, the Song and Ning families combined were no match for my Long family. Your position as heir was already shaken. Song Qinuan had no choice but to cut off the source of your support if she wanted to protect you. Not only did she deceive me, she also instigated me to send my father to a mental hospital."
Everything she did was for Ning Hanqi.
"Zhao Guangxu, who passed the message to you, was arranged by her. She used the Song family as bait to drag the Long family into the water, which led to your current position, but you forced her into a desperate situation!" Long Chendong thought that the other party did not know the cause of Song Qinuan's death, so he wanted to find even a trace of guilt or regret in Ning Hanqi's expression, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Song Qinuan is a crazy woman, and Ning Hanqi is as cold-blooded and ruthless as her father. In a sense, these two people are really a good match.
But in this case, Song Qinuan is not so important anymore. Long Chendong, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more things, had to give up. He told most of what Ning Hanqi asked as long as it did not harm his own interests.
In exchange, Ning Hanqi sent a text message to "resolve" the Long family's crisis.
"I really should let you see how Song Qinuan acted like a grandson and a dog in front of me for you." After Long Chendong received a clear reply from the company, he snorted coldly, stood up, turned around and left, slamming the door.
"Cough cough..." Ning Hanqi supported herself on the tea tray with one hand. She felt a strong smell of blood spreading in her mouth, and her vision was blackening.
Before the ghost boy knew what was happening, he found himself seeing his own body falling down. Upon closer inspection, he found that his head and the box had fallen into the hands of a strange female ghost in red!
For it, whether it was unfamiliar or not was secondary. The most important thing was that the terrifying aura of the red-clothed female ghost made its soul tremble. Soon it discovered that the other party's power was exactly the same as that of the blood python that almost destroyed its master's Dharma image!
Help!!!
Without waiting for Xia Yingnuan to say anything, the ghost boy slid down to his knees and begged for mercy.
