Chapter 11: My wife said she would give you a bath tonight
Ning Yan was wearing a bulletproof vest and was not seriously injured, but the impact damage to his shoulder blade caused by the bullet was not light.
The arm can still move, but it can no longer withstand the recoil generated by the sniper rifle.
He hid behind the bunker and waited for a long time. After seeing that no one was sniping, he began to quickly disassemble the gun.
"From the sound, you seem to be injured." Cheng Zhengze's voice did not sound concerned, but rather gloating.
"Shut up."
Ning Yan didn't expect that while the mantis was stalking the cicada, the oriole was behind it. According to his current status, it should be impossible for anyone to ambush him.
How would anyone know I'm here?
Moreover, why didn’t the other party choose to shoot in the head?
It didn't feel like they were going to kill him, but more like a warning and a threat.
Ning Yan quickly packed up his things, folded the sniper rifle into its original suitcase, changed his appearance as quickly as possible, hurried downstairs and threw his original outfit into the trash can.
The blonde was wearing a long skirt and white high heels, pulling a black suitcase and walking quickly through the busy streets. Almost no one paid attention to him.
Cheng Zhengze hadn't hung up the phone yet. He seemed to enjoy watching his embarrassed escape through the phone and deliberately asked, "Do you want to give me your two million dollars in person?"
Ning Yan had always been the one waiting behind the scenes. This was the first time he was treated like a mantis and collapsed. He felt so bad that it was hard to describe. He was in no mood to pay attention to his teasing and said coldly, "Your first priority now is to shut up."
"I heard that your 735 partners were carefully selected and know each other very well. Over time, their behaviors and personalities have become more and more similar."
"If you have to fart, just fart." Ning Yan said unhappily.
Compared to his previous smiling and frivolous self, Cheng Zhengze clearly preferred the current irritable and aloof version of him. He sarcastically said, "You said you and Yanyan have been partners for many years, but how come you don't have any of his strengths? You failed to act cool, so you took out your anger on your employer. This isn't the character of a good assassin."
Ning Yan didn't want to pay attention to him. He was really annoyed now.
He had been traveling around Continent M for so many years and had killed countless enemies, but no one had ever been able to shoot him in the back.
Who on earth is so capable that he can accurately predict his position in such a large sniper range?
Even that shot gave Ning Yan a sense of mockery.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the other party was teasing him.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Zhengze listened to the voice from his end and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The surrounding environment became increasingly noisy. This was not the way back to Ilok Manor. He could hear Ning Yan's heavy breathing as he ran.
Cheng Zhengze asked again: "Where are you going?"
Ning Yan did not answer. He saw the black-haired boy who had just been shot by him.
His left leg had been bandaged professionally and the bleeding had been successfully stopped, but it still affected his movements and he almost limped forward.
When I moved to the door of a flower shop, I seemed to be unable to walk anymore, so I stopped and sat down beside it to rest.
He didn't know that danger was approaching, and he reached out to touch the cat raised by the flower shop owner, gently scratching the little white cat's chin with his fingers.
Ning Yan pressed the communicator beside his ear and said to Cheng Zhengze, "Don't forget the two million dollars you promised me."
After saying that, she took out the gun hidden under her skirt and slowly approached the boy.
Just as he raised his gun to shoot, the boy seemed to smell danger and suddenly looked back.
Their eyes met, Ning Yan's eyes widened, and the hand holding the gun shook violently.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the boy's cold eyes lit up slightly, gleaming with indescribable excitement and joy: "Brother Ning?"
Ning Yan: "...Aze?"
Cheng Zhengze on the other end seemed to pause for a second and frowned slightly: "What did he call you?"
Ning Yan hung up the phone.
Half an hour later.
Inside the Ilok Manor, the servants were noisier than ever before, and the chattering around him was making Ning Yan's head hurt.
He sat on the sofa with a numb expression, so depressed that he was about to have a cigarette urge. He supported his head with one hand and suddenly regretted bringing the person back.
I should have found a hotel to hide him first.
However, given Cheng Zhengze's protective nature, it is not impossible for him to hire a killer again.
Bringing it back to the estate seemed like the best approach.
Aya didn't know he was distracted and was still trying to persuade him with great distress: "Madam! Before the husband comes back, please send him out quickly. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain. You can't do anything rash at this time, Madam."
The other servants nodded, almost begging him to send the man away quickly, and some even said that they could help keep him outside first.
Ning Yan almost felt numb when he heard this. He thought to himself, you guys are quite nice to me. After a long silence, he suddenly frowned and said, "Yu Chengbai is out?"
Seeing that he finally showed some interest in Yu Chengbai, Aya's eyes lit up instantly and she quickly said, "Yes, yes, my husband left this morning. He said that if you ask, just say he has to go to the company for something and will be back before 2pm."
Ning Yan blinked in surprise.
It wasn't a surprise that Yu Chengbai went out, but it was a surprise that he could actually wake up in the morning.
If I remember correctly, he used a lot of force when he knocked Yu Chengbai unconscious yesterday.
Even if he used that much force to knock himself out, he would have to sleep until noon. Yu Chengbai actually woke up in the morning?
"He..." Ning Yan frowned and thought for a moment, weighing his words before looking at Aya, whose face was gradually becoming more and more excited. He hesitated and said, "Did he say anything when he woke up?"
Ning Yan had no choice but to knock Yu Chengbai unconscious last night. It was because he was sleeping in his bed in the middle of the night without making a sound. It just so happened that he had completely removed the soy sauce-colored clothes and even his hair had returned to pink.
Yu Chengbai should be thankful that he didn't turn on the light, otherwise Ning Yan would have done more than just knock him out.
He had to consider strangling him with a rope.
When Aya saw him asking about Yu Chengbai, she was as happy as a chick pecking at food: "I said, I'll find you as soon as I wake up and ask you where you've been."
Ever since Ning Yan admitted that he was Evie a few weeks ago, he had been able to enter and leave the manor freely. No one would stop him, and no one would ask about his whereabouts.
At most, when they saw him going out, they would remind him to call back if he got lost, and they would ask the driver to go out and look for him.
Aya explained that the reason they went to look for him instead of picking him up was that before he lost his memory, he was a person with poor direction and often got lost and couldn't tell where he was. As long as he called the manor, dozens of drivers from the manor would drive all over the city to look for him.
Ning Yan was shocked when he first heard it, because he never gets lost.
After a trip to a new city, I can generate a 3D map in my mind. If I go there again three years later, I can generate the best escape route in just ten seconds.
He didn't think he could get lost like that.
"Did he say anything else besides asking me where I was going? What was his expression at that time?" Ning Yan frowned.
Aya thought about it carefully and shook her head gently. "Mr. didn't say anything. He ate breakfast and sent Miss Beibei to school. On his way out, he suddenly turned around and told me that if you asked him, he should just say he went to the company and would be back before 2 p.m. He used to be like this too. No matter where he went, he would always let you know and always come back on time."
Ning Yan lowered his head and remained silent.
He wasn't angry, but he didn't seem very sad either. Could it be that I didn't hit him too hard yesterday instead of hitting him too lightly?
Just chop down with a knife, causing Yu Chengbai to suffer temporary amnesia?
Is he that fragile?
"Mrs!"
The maid who had just led Lan Ze upstairs to take a bath suddenly came running down the stairs. Before she even arrived, her aggrieved and angry voice came like a loudspeaker, shouting so loudly that the entire manor shook: "Madam! He doesn't want Dubi and me to wash him! He thinks we are ugly! He wants you to wash him!"
Before Ning Yan opened his mouth, he felt resentful looks coming from all directions, especially Aya's, which was the most resentful.
Aya said sourly, "Madam, you have never bathed your husband."
Ning Yan was completely convinced by these girls. He covered his face with one hand, sighed deeply, and said perfunctorily with a somewhat awkward smile: "Wash, wash, can't I wash it? I'll wash him tonight-"
Before he could even finish the words "clean the pot", his uncovered eye happened to look up.
A tall and graceful figure broke through the light and shadow and fell into his eyes. Before he could see the face clearly, Ning Yan's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to make amends, the virgin Aya suddenly threw herself out. Blushing, she shouted towards the door, "Sir, the mistress said she wants to give you a bath tonight! She said she wants to give you a bath!"
There was complete silence all around.
In the silence, Yu Chengbai, who was walking steadily and peacefully, suddenly stumbled.

PS:
New character unlocked: Lan Ze, nicknamed Aze, has black hair, is aloof, and a childish child who loves binge-watching TV series. Whenever he sees a character he hates, he gets so angry he throws a flying knife into their forehead. When his anger subsides, he pulls the knife back with a cold expression. He's obsessed with looks, and they have a potential partner, but they don't have a romantic connection.
The love story between Ning Yan and Yu Chengbai can be explained by a joke from the game Honor of Kings: a jungler ranked in the top 50 in the national server went to a bronze league to fish, only to find that he couldn't predict the opponent's movement at all, because the opponent was too weak, and he didn't even move at all, so he just took the opponent by surprise and made a move wherever he wanted!
