There was a sweet ripple in Shangguan Wan Ning's heart, and the complaints that had been left in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"Thank you." Shangguan Wanning took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the child, touched his head and said, "Please help my sister wait here. A young lady with a windmill will come over soon. You can
Tell her to wait for me here."
The child quickly stuffed the money into his ragged clothes and nodded heavily.
Shangguan Wan Ning walked straight to the back, muttering silently in her heart: "Let you leave me alone and see how I deal with you."
She looked around at the entrance of the alley, and suddenly found that this place was strangely quiet.
Although this place is relatively remote, it is close to a bustling street. Why is there no one there in broad daylight?
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly remembered that it was not Mu Jingrui's style to ask her to meet in this way.
What's more, he had just walked away, so it was impossible for him to calm down so quickly.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan Ning felt a little uneasy and turned around to leave.
Suddenly her vision went dark, and a sack covered her from head to toe.
She immediately struggled desperately, only to feel a pain in the back of her neck and completely lost consciousness.
Shangguan Wanning didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She felt like there were people walking around her in a daze.
The memory before she fainted flashed in her mind. She didn't dare to open her eyes, so she could only continue to pretend to be comatose and listen to the sounds around her with her ears raised.
"How's it going? Did you arrest the wrong person?"
"No, don't worry, Mr. Xue. Don't you still trust how many of our brothers can do things? We know the power of the Prime Minister's Office."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that these people would dare to kidnap her even though they knew her identity.
What on earth are they going to do?
Before Shangguan Wan Ning could figure it out, the sack was taken away, and the sudden light made her frown subconsciously.
"Miss Shangguan, there's no need to pretend, I know you're awake."
Shangguan Wan Ning knew she couldn't pretend anymore, so she just opened her eyes and stood up.
She glanced around and saw that this was a very simply furnished room, probably an inn or restaurant.
There were a total of five people standing in the room. Among them, the person called "Master Xue" had bright eyes, with shrewdness and cunning in his eyes.
"You know who I am, yet you come here to arrest me. It seems that your background is not simple either."
Shangguan Wan Ning calmly flicked the dust off her clothes and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Master Xue didn't expect that Shangguan Wan Ning, who was raised in a boudoir, would have such courage, so he couldn't help but clapped his hands.
"As expected of the granddaughter of Marquis Yiyong, she looks a bit like a child of a martial arts family." Mr. Xue smiled softly and said, "It's very simple. I just want to know the list and names of the names that Miss Shangguan brought Mu Jingrui back from the border.
Where is the evidence?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was startled and suddenly realized.
"So, you are from Li Dahai?" Shangguan Wanning said calmly, "Didn't my third uncle tell you that those things have been burned?"
"Really?" Mr. Xue didn't seem very sure.
After all, the stakes were high and they had to make sure those things would never show up again.
Shangguan Wan Ning understands their concerns. "If I still have it, do you think... you can still stand here?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's face darkened, and the anger in her heart was ignited.
It was this incident that caused the estrangement between her and Mu Jingrui, and she didn't know if it would lead to the trajectory she tried to correct in her previous life.
Mr. Xue thought carefully and it seemed that Shangguan Wan Ning was not lying.
In fact, they also felt that the evidence had been burned, and they asked Shangguan Wan Ning to confirm it just in case.
"I've already said what you want to ask, you can let me go." Shangguan Wan Ning asked.
Mr. Xue said with a faint smile: "Of course. Miss Shangguan, please."
Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, Shangguan Wanning felt a little more wary.
She cautiously took a few steps forward, her eyes staring at Master Xue's hand from beginning to end.
"By the way, I heard that Miss Shangguan has a photographic memory. Is it true?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that she couldn't leave.
She pinched herself secretly to calm down and said casually: "Rumors are always exaggerated, just to give my father face."
“You are very smart.” There was a bright light in Mr.
Nip it in the bud. Miss Shangguan, if you want to blame, blame Mu Jingrui."
"If he hadn't dragged you into the water, you would still be at home doing embroidery and flapping butterflies with peace of mind. Why bother to take a trip into this muddy water?"
Shangguan Wan Ning held her breath and stepped back. The way behind was blocked by two sturdy men.
"How dare you!" Shangguan Wan Ning scolded sternly.
Master Xue did not take this trick, and stabbed Shangguan Wan Ning in the lower abdomen with the dagger.
Shangguan Wan Ning's eyes showed a bit of fear.
There was a "dang" sound, and at the critical moment, a flying knife penetrated the door and window and knocked off Mr. Xue's dagger.
A figure flashed past, picked up Shangguan Wan Ning and jumped to the side.
"Third uncle?" Shangguan Wan Ning grabbed Zheng Bingrong's sleeve nervously, breathing a little quickly.
He arrived a step too late to collect her body.
"What are you going to do?" Mr. Xue stared at Zheng Bingrong fiercely.
"You said you wanted to confirm whether Ning'er had any intentions. Now that you know it, why do you still want to kill her?"
Zheng Bingrong was secretly glad to have followed the man named Xue all the way, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
"You know better than me how smart your niece is. Although you burned the list and the evidence, she remembered the people on the list. With her around for a day, we are like a thorn in the back, and we have no peace."
The man named Xue looked ferocious and said viciously: "So, she must die. Since you have the heart to burn her to death, let me do it for you."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at Zheng Bingrong in surprise.
It turned out that the fire was going to burn not only the evidence and the list, but also her.
"Ning'er, you don't have to be afraid. Third uncle won't let anything happen to you."
Zheng Bingrong really didn't want the bad things he had done to be exposed. But he still had a conscience. He couldn't do it if he were asked to trade Shangguan Wanning's life for his own miserable existence.
"Since you refuse to let go, then I will send you to die together."
As soon as the man named Xue finished speaking, he hit him with a palm.
Zheng Bingrong pushed Shangguan Wan Ning away, took Shangguan Wan Ning's hand, and then jumped out of the window with Shangguan Wan Ning.
