"Whether you catch it or not is your business, I'm just providing you with ideas."
Li Nanke was a little dissatisfied with Shengtian's attitude. If the other party hadn't saved Sister Leng, he would have ignored her long ago.
A smile appeared on Yu Shengtian's always stern face, "I have already investigated Yuan Zhenzhen's case three years ago, but I didn't get much results."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. I wish you good luck."
Li Nanke smiled at Jiang Min and prepared to leave.
"but--"
Yu Shengtian suddenly whetted his appetite and said to Li Nanke, "The day before Yuan Zhenzhen was kidnapped three years ago, the Night Patrol Department lost a batch of red rain. This matter was suppressed by the General Secretary. And the suspects involved
, related to the concubine of the prefect Yuan Changxu."
Hearing this, a glint flashed across Li Nanke's eyes, "Master Yuan's concubine?"
"That's the mother of Yuan Zhenzhen and Yuan Xixi. Her name is Chu Yunxin."
Yu Shengtian said.
Yuan Xixi is the little monster girl who was killed by Li Nanke in the restaurant before.
Is it her? Li Nanke couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking of his uncle being impeached for harboring a serious criminal, a dark cloud appeared in his heart.
Is it possible that my uncle is really related to the Zhen Zhen case?
He wanted to ask something else, but Yu Shengtian left with Jiang Min.
Li Nanke lightly clenched his fists and looked up at the rather dazzling sun. He felt inexplicably heavy, as if there was an invisible thread pulling him into a closed silkworm chrysalis.
In the evening, Li Nanke went to Zuixiao Tower to prepare to meet Nie Ying.
The follower Meng Xiaotu naturally hangs on the back like a tail.
Looking at the familiar restaurant, the girl couldn't help but recall the first time Bai Buai brought them to have a drink.
At that time, the other party was standing in front of the railing on the second floor, throwing banknotes downwards, and shouting "I will never love you in this life". The scene was so dandy, arrogant, and emotional.
now……
Meng Xiaotu sighed.
Li Nanke noticed the girl's dejected mood and just shook her hand without saying anything.
Because of the deep impression left by the previous sponsor Bai Buai, the restaurant owner warmly welcomed Li Nanke into a familiar box and served him good wine and tea as soon as he saw him.
"Master Li, Mr. Bai is not here today?"
I haven't seen the donor who sent the money for several days in a row. The boss finally saw an acquaintance and naturally couldn't help but ask.
"He has returned to Beijing."
Li Nanke responded casually.
"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, the restaurant owner did not hide his disappointment at all.
"Let's have some side dishes first, I have to wait for a friend." Li Nanke said.
"Okay, you two wait a moment, we'll be ready soon."
The owner of the restaurant realized that he had lost his temper, smiled quickly, poured the tea himself, and exited the box.
When Li Nanke and the two entered the restaurant, a strong woman was staring at them quietly and secretly.
He is a subordinate of the Dragon Guard.
She watched Li Nanke and Meng Xiaotu enter the box, and then quietly exited the restaurant.
"Sir, do you want to take action?"
One of the men came forward and asked quietly.
The strong woman's eyes were cold, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The guard's intention is not to kill him yet, but he must be taught a lesson. If necessary, his companions can also deal with him!"
…
At around two o'clock in the morning, Nie Ying appeared on time.
Compared to the familiar outfit with short boots, Nie Ying was now wearing a purple silk shirt, which made her look less lonely and cold, and more gentle like an ordinary woman.
However, the woman still wore half a silver-white metal mask on her face, and the coldness from the inside out still radiated unconsciously.
"Nie Qianhu is so beautiful today."
Li Nanke nodded happily.
Nie Ying glanced at Meng Xiaotu, sat on a chair and said straight to the point: "I want to talk to you alone."
"Well……"
Li Nanke turned to look at Meng Xiaotu who was chewing a chicken leg.
The round-faced girl pursed her lips, gave Li Nanke a warning look, and walked out of the box.
"To make a long story short, I want to ask you a favor."
Nie Ying opened his mouth and said.
Li Nanke coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Nie Qianhu, our relationship hasn't reached that level yet. I remember when you left in Dongqi County, you said that we will be strangers from now on and will not look for me again.
Help, but now..."
"Now we know each other again, okay?" Nie Ying frowned.
Li Nanke was amused and stood up to pour tea for the other party. "Nie Qianhu, you are quite good at humor. Tell me what kind of help you need from me this time. I will decide whether to agree or not based on the situation."
The woman lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and looked at the other person with shining eyes. There seemed to be fireworks in her pupils like paint: "I have a case about myself, and I would like to ask you to help investigate."
"Well, let's talk about it." Li Nanke sat upright.
As a shadow guard officer, Nie Ying has a lot of conveniences when trying to investigate the case. But she can't find it out, which shows that this case is not simple.
Although Li Nanke has a good impression of her, he won't spend too much energy to help.
Nie Ying bit her pale lips lightly and said softly: "It's about my life experience, I -"
call out--
While the woman was speaking, a scream suddenly sounded.
Nie Ying's pretty face changed, and she slammed the table with her jade hand. The thick round table flipped over and blocked the side of her and Li Nanke, facing the window.
Then there was a "ding-ding" sound, and countless darts were inserted into the table like raindrops.
"What's wrong?"
Li Nanke realized it at this moment and quickly stood up.
The next moment, he was pulled over by Nie Ying, and his face was firmly pressed against the woman's chest.
"There's an assassin!"
Nie Ying half hugged Li Nanke and backed away.
Boom! The round table was torn into pieces, and a bright sharp knife struck, shining with a cold and dazzling light.
The entire box was filled with strong murderous intent.
Whoosh!
Li Nanke immediately drew his sword.
The sword light rushed out like a bright arc of the moon, as if a large silvery wave of snow-breaking swords suddenly appeared, knocking away the stabbing knife, but there was no one holding the knife.
But the flying knife broke into several pieces as if by magic, and continued to fly towards Li Nanke and the two of them under the tug. Some of them could even turn around automatically and change the direction of attack.
Nie Ying led Li Nanke back "deng deng deng", pulled down the gauze curtain next to it, and swung it around.
All the sharp objects that were stabbed were instantly involved, and then the woman swung hard, and the broken blades stabbed out in the opposite direction, and the window in the room was completely broken.
"Stay still!"
Nie Ying left Li Nanke behind, stepped on the stool with her toes, slipped out of the broken window, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Little bunny!
Li Nanke wanted to chase after him, but suddenly remembered that Meng Xiaotu was still outside and hurriedly opened the box door.
As soon as I went out, I met Meng Xiaotu head-on.
"I heard there seemed to be fighting inside, what happened?" The girl's face was full of worry, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Nanke standing in front of her intact.
Li Nanke didn't answer, but retreated to the box, took out a bottle of Hongyu and drank it.
When the red rain energy appears, he immediately activates the time pause.
For an instant, everything stood still.
Li Nanke jumped out of the broken window and landed lightly on the street outside the restaurant.
Pedestrians on the street, hawker stall owners, and even the big yellow dog peeing in the corner... all maintained their own postures.
People's expressions are also different, some are confused and some are panic.
Li Nanke found Nie Ying.
The other party had a stern look on his face, holding a fragment of a teacup in his hand, and his beautiful cold eyes were exploring the surroundings.
But judging from the woman's expression, she hasn't found the attacker yet.
So Li Nanke took advantage of the time pause and began to search.
Because time was limited, he could only observe everyone on the street as quickly as possible.
Soon his eyes fixed on an acquaintance.
It was the subordinate of the Dragon Guard, the strong woman named Zhao.
The opponent's tank was half-hidden around the corner, staring coldly at Nie Ying as he glanced down from the window.
Was she carrying out a sneak attack just now?
Li Nanke secretly guessed.
Seeing the countdown start, Li Nanke didn't have time to think too much. He injected the red rain energy into the dragon-shaped mark on his right palm. As the golden light bloomed, a golden ring flew up.
A golden ring was wrapped around the strong woman's wrist.
"Huh? Just stab her wrist?"
Li Nanke was a little disappointed.
Previously, I used the dragon-shaped jade pendant to kill the monster girl while time was suspended. I thought this thing could kill any monster or person at will.
Unexpectedly, when encountering human masters, they can only deal damage.
do not care!
Teach this woman a lesson first!
Li Nanke pulled out his sword and slashed towards the ring.
Just like when slashing a monster, the blade passed through the woman's wrist and there was no bleeding.
Soon, the ticking countdown began.
It indicates that the time pause is coming to an end.
Li Nanke was waiting to go back when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and vaguely caught a figure that seemed a bit familiar. But before he could take a closer look, his eyes suddenly went dark.
As time returned to normal, Li Nanke returned to the box.
His head was violently dizzy and he immediately started retching while holding on to the stool.
On the street, Nie Ying was trying hard to search for the assassin.
Suddenly a scream pierced the long street.
Nie Ying immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where the screams came from. When he arrived in front of him, he saw a familiar strong woman covering her hands and screaming in pain. She couldn't help being shocked, "Master Zhao?"
She looked down and took a breath.
I saw a severed hand lying quietly on the ground!
The strong woman's face was pale, her face was almost twisted in pain, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat as big as a soybean.
The blood dripped onto the ground, which was horrifying.
"Master Zhao, what is going on?" Nie Ying was extremely suspicious.
The men following the strong woman were equally at a loss.
Everything was fine, but the boss's hand suddenly broke off. This was really terrifying.
At this time, Li Nanke arrived late. Looking at the scene in front of him, he pretended to be shocked, "What's going on? What's going on? Why is Mr. Zhao's hand missing? Who did this to Grandma?"
of!"
While talking, Li Nanke looked around, but he didn't notice the familiar figure just now but couldn't remember who it was.
Nie Ying subconsciously stared at Li Nanke, her eyes floating.
But soon, her doubts about the man were eliminated.
After all, the other party has been in the private room of the restaurant, so even if he wants to hurt someone, he is not that capable.
"Step aside!"
Several guards hurried over to separate and drive away the crowd who came to watch.
The dragon guard walked quickly to the strong woman, looked at the severed hand on the ground, his pupils shrank slightly, and stared coldly at the men behind him, "Who was injured?"
The subordinate was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He shook his head and said, "Sir, I did not see the attacker."
did not see?
The dragon guard's face turned ugly.
These guards were top-notch masters. They didn't even see them, which meant that the attackers were super masters.
"You didn't see it either?"
The dragon guard turned his eyes to the strong woman with the severed hand.
The strong woman took the elixir handed over by her subordinates and drank it. When the blood from the wound stopped, she shook her head with a pale face and said, "Sir, I did not see the attacker in this humble position."
The Dragon Guard's fists clenched loudly.
A small cloud city actually hides so many masters.
"what about you?"
The dragon guard turned to stare at Nie Ying and Li Nanke.
Nie Ying saluted and said, "Sir, we were just discussing something in Zuixiao Tower when we were suddenly assassinated. But I don't know who it was. Not long after I chased him down, I heard Master Zhao's screams."
The dragon guard did not ask Li Nanke.
Because he knew that asking would be in vain.
Li Nanke took the initiative and said enthusiastically: "Master Long, Master Zhao, the murderer dared to commit murder in broad daylight, which shows that his cultivation level is extremely high, and even Master Long is no match for him.
The most important thing is that he seems to hate you to the core.
I think it’s best for you, Mr. Long, to stay at the inn these days, lest we have to help order the coffin. Of course, I’m doing this purely out of good intentions.”
Hearing Li Nanke's taunt, the murderous intent in Long Guard's eyes was like a real knife, and he stabbed him.
But Nie Ying took the initiative to stand in front of the man.
She said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Master Long, I think we should let the government investigate first. The assassin who attacked us and the one who cut off Master Zhao's hand should be the same group. Maybe -"
"Walk!"
Before Nie Ying could finish speaking, the dragon guard left with the strong woman and her group.
Li Nanke shouted at his back, "Master Long, I will order a coffin for you first. If you need anything, just come and pick it up."
"You shouldn't mess with him."
Nie Ying wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and reminded Li Nanke.
Li Nanke twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered nonchalantly: "I'm not a coward. If he has the ability, just touch me and I will let him die."
"This is not like you. I feel like you are deliberately irritating him."
After all, Nie Ying was not a stupid woman like Little Rabbit, and she could see Li Nanke's purpose.
Li Nanke just smiled without explaining. After the onlookers dispersed, he asked: "Do you think the person who attacked us just now is Mr. Zhao?"
"I'm not sure, she has that ability." Nie Ying analyzed, "But in this downtown area, it is unlikely that she would take action. In short, I can't judge."
"It's really haunting."
Li Nanke patted his head, thinking of He Panjun's deal with him, and murmured, "The time is almost here, I really have to help him order a coffin."
"Don't mess around!"
Nie Ying warned again, "Not to mention that his cultivation level is much better than yours, even if you have Ye Yaoyao's help, once you kill him, you will all get into big trouble."
"knew."
Li Nanke just nodded perfunctorily.
Seeing that the woman was still nagging, he quickly asked: "By the way, you said in the box just now that you wanted me to investigate your life experience?"
