Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face was extremely gloomy, and a terrible chill came over him.
"Second...Second brother..."
She stabilized her mind, clenched the eyebrow trimmer in her hand, and was ready to attack at any time.
Ning Chengen looked cold and asked again: "Why are you on the top floor if you don't sleep at night? Did I tell you last time that you must abide by the rules?"
"I...I couldn't sleep. I just heard a noise on the top floor, so I came up to take a look. I was about to go back when you came."
She swallowed and changed the subject: "Why is the second brother at the old house? It's so late and he's still wearing military uniform..."
Ning Chengen's expression didn't change: "There are tasks in the bureau that have to be completed. Tomorrow is your return banquet, which will be held at the old house, so I will go back to the old house to rest tonight."
"Oh, okay, thank you for your hard work, brother." She lowered her head and had a respectful attitude.
Ning Chengen had no expression and his tone was very cold, "Go back to your room and rest."
"yes."
Zhou Xiaoqing nodded, remembering the sound of chains just now, but unwilling to give in, "Second brother, mother really lives on the top floor? Just now I heard the sound of chains dragging on the ground, is it mother?"
"Mother has gone to bed, you heard wrong." There was no emotion on his cold face.
"But..." Zhou Xiaoqing insisted, "I heard it right. There was really the sound of chains just now. If only mother lives on the top floor, did you lock her up?"
Ning Chengen narrowed his phoenix eyes and stared at her coldly, without saying anything.
"Second brother, I will also be a part of the family in the future. I hope we can be more honest with each other. I have the right to know the secrets of the Ning family."
"You're overthinking it. There won't be any ulterior secrets in the Ning family. I'll say it again, go back to sleep."
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't move, "I'm not sleepy now. Can second brother open the lock? I want to go in and see my mother."
Ning Chengen didn't think about it at all, "No, mother is already asleep, you will disturb her."
No matter what you say, it won't work. Oil and salt won't come in.
Zhou Xiaoqing was speechless.
"Good boy, tomorrow is your homecoming party. You will have a lot of things to do. Go to bed quickly." He coaxed in a soft tone and took the eyebrow trimmer from her hand.
"All right."
Ning Chengen was here. She wanted to check the attic quietly, but it was impossible. She could only look at it later.
She walked around Ning Chengen and prepared to go down the stairs.
There was a muffled thud, and a hand knife struck her hard on the back of the head.
Severe pain came, and her consciousness suddenly fell into a trance, and her whole body fell into darkness.
In the long and deep corridor on the top floor, a dark wind blew.
Ning Chengen held her up while she fainted. Although he was wearing an upright military uniform, his face was like a dark ghost.
"You are so curious about the attic, how could I not help you."
...
Return party the next day.
Before dinner, because Shengge and Ji Yuting had to attend at the same time, Si Nian and Rong Xiaoxia were called to Yu Sheng Xiaozhu again to help Yu mother take care of the babies.
Before setting off to the Ning family's old house, Shengge and Ji Yuting first went to find Lu Hua, met with him, and went together.
On the road, Lu Hua, who was sitting in a stretched luxury car, felt a little restless and his lower forehead was slightly stiff.
Shengge felt his nervousness and said, "Third brother, please relax and treat her calmly. Today is a good day for Xiaoqing. You can be together in the future."
