"Is something strange downstairs?" Xin Ning opened the door, leaned against it lightly, and frowned. "If something's strange downstairs, go check it yourself. Why are you telling me?"
"No, I need to report the situation to my husband first."
"Go ahead."
“No, someone has to go downstairs to check. We can’t let them get away,” he continued. “If anything goes wrong with this, none of us can escape responsibility.”
Xin Ning then became serious and subconsciously straightened up.
He's right. Now that the master has entrusted these people to her and Xie Er, they will naturally be involved if anything happens.
Thinking of this, she immediately replied, "I'll go downstairs and take a look."
Before she went, she made a point of bringing Xie Er with her.
With a toothbrush in his mouth, Xie Erge looked at Xin Ning with surprise. "You wouldn't come here without a reason, would you? What brings you here?"
"Why are you brushing your teeth in the middle of the day?" Xin Ning asked with a look of disgust.
"My teeth aren't good, so I have to rinse my mouth after eating even a little bit, otherwise I'll get cavities." Second Brother Xie turned around and went into the room, spitting out the foam from his mouth.
Xin Ning frowned, walked in, grabbed her hand, and pulled her out.
"How dare you say that! Do you even know you've made a huge blunder?!"
Xie Erge looked completely bewildered.
As Xinning walked, he told her what he had just heard.
Xie Erge was even more confused. "You suspect that one of them broke free from the hypnosis and woke up?"
Xin Ning calmly analyzed, "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone here is helping them, trying to rescue them."
Of course, nothing is set in stone yet.
Basement level 2.
Yun stood in front of the surveillance camera.
However, he looked blank, raised his hand and looked at it, as if he didn't remember anything.
Brother Xie breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Judging from this, the hypnotic effect is probably not stable enough and may need to be reinforced."
Xin Ning carefully examined the lens, glanced around, and saw a small stone nearby.
She picked it up. "Xie Er, you actually let them bring this kind of thing in."
Xie Erge rolled his eyes inwardly. This girl was someone they had all been watching over, yet she was now pushing all the responsibility onto him.
"You didn't even check it carefully yourself, yet you have the nerve to blame me."
"Alright, the most important thing now is to solve the problem." Xin Ning pointed at Yun. "His attempt to retaliate is your responsibility, isn't it?"
Xie Erge finally shut up, walked up to Yun, and activated his supernatural power.
He withdrew his hand after a moment.
"Alright, I've reinforced it a bit. I'll lock him up for now and wait for the master to make a decision."
Xin Ning said, "I told you long ago, it took you a year to subdue that old man up there, how could you possibly control these few in just a few days?"
She said with a mocking smile, "Serves you right for being so arrogant. You messed things up, didn't you? Now you won't even be able to claim credit."
Xie Erge looked displeased, but he really had nothing to refute about this point, so he could only swallow his anger.
Yin had just finished listening to everything when Xin Ning and the others arrived.
Yin turned to look at the two of them. "Have you found out? What exactly happened?"
He sat there, without any extra expressions or movements, exuding an imposing presence without anger.
Xin Ning forced herself to speak, "When we got down there, Yun was standing there. I guess Xie Er's hypnosis wasn't strong enough, or the time was too short, so the effect didn't meet expectations."
Yin didn't speak, but just looked at them calmly.
Second Brother Xie stepped forward to admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, sir..."
Have your brains atrophied?
Xie Erge turned around and exchanged a glance with Xin Ning.
Neither of them quite understood what Yin meant by saying that; they were being called stupid for no reason.
Yin leaned forward, prompting, "Have you checked every room?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically.
They hadn't thought that far ahead; they just saw Yun standing outside and subconsciously felt that the answer to the question was obvious, and there was no need to look up anything else.
"What if it's not Yun that has a problem, but rather a traitor among you? Have you investigated this risk?"
"I failed in my duty." Xin Ning quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake, and then subconsciously wanted to go back to the second basement level to check.
Yin called out to her, "Fool! With that kind of effort, they would have escaped long ago. Do you think they would wait for you to come back?"
A thin layer of anger crossed his face as he scolded again, "Xin Ning, is it because I relied on you too much that you've become so arrogant and haven't even learned to use your brain?"
At this moment, Xin Ning connected all the events in her mind and analyzed them clearly.
First, the elevator and the surveillance cameras on the first basement level were damaged due to a strange conflict between the two people. Then, the surveillance cameras on the second basement level were also destroyed.
Looking at it from a detached perspective, the simultaneous occurrence of these two events seems rather strange.
The most likely explanation is that someone is going to rescue them.
Who is that?
Xin Ning quickly set his sights on one person.
The third son.
There was no one else but her.
The others had been living in the villa for some time and had no interaction with these newcomers at all!
Only the third brother, who entered the military region at the same time as them, although they didn't usually have much interaction, at least knew each other.
After Xin Ning figured it out, she said to Yin Dao, "I was confused. I'll go to the basement level to investigate and find the person who damaged the surveillance cameras as soon as possible."
Yin smiled but not into her eyes. After Xin Ning left, Xie Erge also planned to follow.
Do you think she can find that person?
Brother Xie paused, turned around, and said, "Sir, what do you mean..."
"Where is the evidence? Even if you dig up this whole area and search it all, she won't find anything in the end."
“But everyone knows who sabotaged the elevator and the surveillance cameras on the basement level. The culprit might be one of those two,” Xie Erge retorted.
"The two of them?" Yin scoffed. "If you were to save them, would you do something so stupid? Leaving evidence against them, as if you're afraid no one will know it was you who did it."
Brother Xie realized, "Is someone using them to do things?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?"
"Who could it be?" Xie Erge thought for a long time, and finally his idea came to the same conclusion as Xin Ning's.
Could it be the third child?
Of all the people here, only the third sister knows them. But that shouldn't be the case, because apart from fighting, she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business at all.
Moreover, they barely interacted with each other in the military region, and several of those people disliked her.
The third brother didn't need to do such a thing!
After all, he was one of his most trusted lieutenants, and Xie Erge felt as if he were a lone boat adrift on a turbulent sea, extremely uneasy.
But he kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.
