The planning for the past few days was about to come to nothing, so she looked extremely serious and whispered to Xi Nian: "Don't worry, open the door."
Just as Si Nian was about to turn the door handle, the crisp sound of a bullet being loaded came.
Ning Chengen stood two meters away, holding a gun, pointing it coldly at Xi Nian's head, and threatened in a sinister tone:
"Ji Si Nian, you led troops to break into my Ning family's old house and showed off your power in my house. Don't think that I don't dare to touch you because of Ji Yu Ting!"
"If you dare to open this door and disturb my mother's rest, I will kill you immediately."
After all, Ning Chengen was the superior, and Si Nian could only let go in frustration.
Shengge stepped forward, blocked the muzzle of the gun, and protected Si Nian behind him. He looked at Ning Chengen and explained: "Master En, my crystal earrings were stolen at the tea party. All the ladies who attended the tea party have been checked. It's a routine matter for Si Nian.
That’s all, there’s no need to use the gun, right?”
Ning Chengen did not put down his raised hand, and a cold breath floated around.
"Mrs. Ji, I heard the bodyguard explain this matter when I came in. Since you suspected that my seventh sister had stolen the earrings, you should ask her for it instead of searching my Ning family."
Shengge's expression remained unchanged, "But Jingxuan is not at home. I don't know where she went. What if, she just stole my earrings? She was afraid of taking responsibility, so she deliberately went back to Ning's house and hid the earrings.
Go out and hide."
Ning Chengen narrowed his eyes sinisterly, "I will investigate this matter and ask Qimei to give you an explanation. If she really steals your earrings, I will pay three times the compensation and I will also interrupt her unclean behavior."
Hands and feet, I will personally bring her to you and give you an explanation."
Shengge frowned almost inaudibly, "Ning Chengen..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ning Chengen interrupted her: "It's late at night, please Mrs. Ji and take all your people away from the Ning family."
This unceremonious order to expel guests left no room for rebuttal.
Si Nian looked at Shengge uneasily, but Shengge didn't say anything.
The atmosphere in the corridor is a bit tense.
Ning Chengen is back. As the head of the Ning family and the deputy bureau of the National Bureau of Investigation, his official position is higher than that of Si Nian. His words cover everything. Shengge and Si Nian have no room to continue the search.
"Okay, if I, Mrs. Ji, are not welcome to be my guest, I will just leave." Shengge smiled slightly.
Ning Chengen put down his gun and explained calmly: "I don't mean not to welcome Mrs. Ji. My fifth sister is sick and my mother is not in good health. The Ning family does not allow guests at night."
Hearing him take the initiative to talk about Ning Xiaoqing, Shengge took over the conversation.
"I heard you say that Xiaoqing was sick last time. It was just a common cold. Why hasn't she recovered yet? The announcement has been delayed for a long time. What is her illness?"
Ning Chengen said in a good-natured way: "The seasons have changed recently and she has an influenza virus, which is a bit serious and contagious, so I sealed off the Ning family's old house and stopped visitors because I was afraid that the guests would be infected."
He took two steps back, leaned against the wall, cleared the aisle, and politely extended his hand toward Shengge in a gesture of invitation.
Shengge didn't want to leave, but had to bite the bullet and leave with Si Nian.
Just after taking two steps, the right rear, which had been closed and quiet, heard the sound of iron chains striking, and the sound was very rhythmic and clear.
Shengge stopped and turned around to ask Ning Chengen: "Master En, was there any sound just now?"
Si Nian immediately echoed: "Sister-in-law, I heard it too. It seemed like the sound of iron chains. How could there be such a sound on the top floor of the Ning family's old house? Could it be that... someone is imprisoned inside?"
"Ji Si Nian!" Ning Chengen's eyes were sinister, and he called him again through gritted teeth, "This is my Ning family's family matter, and it's not your turn to comment. The sound just now was not from the iron chain, but from the window in the room being left open.
Just blowing the bead curtain."
Shengge glanced coldly at the closed door at the rear right.
The difference between the sound of the bead curtain and the sound of the iron chain is so obvious, who is he trying to fool?
It took a lot of effort to come here. If Xiaoqing's condition cannot be determined, Ning Chengen will only be more vigilant in the future, and it may be even harder next time.
Shengge was unwilling to declare that the plan failed and returned home.
