C84 The Human Heart Is Unfathomable
Because of Yin Lan's protection, Ning Shen successfully escaped from the fountain. He looked back and wiped the water off his face. Thinking of Ning Ou's previous instructions, he was full of doubts. At the same time, thinking of Yin Lan's situation, he did not dare to delay and hurried to the other side.
He walked around the corridor and arrived at the lounge specially prepared for Ning Family. From afar, he saw a row of solemn bodyguards guarding the door. His heart skipped a beat. Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately turned invisible.
What happened tonight?
It was clearly Mr. Zeng who asked him to wait in that room. Why was Yin Lan here? Moreover, why was the room Ning Ou was resting in guarded by a group of bodyguards? And who were those people who tried to assassinate him? Or were those people trying to assassinate Yin Lan?
Things had far exceeded his imagination. He needed to calm down.
But if he calmed down, he would not be able to explain the entire matter. At the moment, Yin Lan was still fighting with the other party and it was hard to tell if she was dead or alive. Thinking of this, he walked out from the dark and walked towards Ning Ou.
The people guarding outside were very surprised when they saw Ning Shen walk over, but no one stopped him.
The people above ordered that they could enter and not leave.
When Ning Shen saw no one stopping him, he pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the spacious and elegant room, the lights were warm and golden all over the ground. Ning Ou sat on the sofa that could be seen by pushing open the door. His expression was arrogant and his brows were unruly. The moment he saw the door open, he swept his gaze over it and raised his eyebrows when he saw Ning Shen's sorry state.
"How did you end up like this?"
Ning Shen ignored the doubt in Ning Ou's eyes and rushed forward. He looked around and did not see anyone else lowering their voice. "We were plotted against. The one who went to see me was not Mister Zeng."
"I know."
He wanted to continue but was stopped by Ning Ou's indifferent words. Ning Shen looked at Ning Ou in shock. "How did you know?"
Ning Ou curled his lips. He was as handsome as a statue, and his sharp and piercing face was full of ice. "Because I know about the relationship between Hua Jingsheng and that distinguished guest, and Hua Jingsheng saw through my identity."
"If that's the case, why did Mister Zeng ask me to go?" Ning Shen did not know that Ning Ou and Hua Jingsheng had already fallen out with each other. He just thought that the two families might have a chance to cooperate.
However, what Ning Ou said next overturned his guess and shattered his pursuit of balance.
"Because they want to borrow a knife to kill."
Borrowing a knife to kill people!
Ning Shen was shocked. "Why?"
Ning Shen had been contributing to the construction and development of Nanxing City all these years. It could be said that one third of the economy of Nanxing City was supported by Ning Family. No matter how stupid Mr. Zeng was, he could not make this decision. Besides, With the fall of Ning Family, he wouldn't be the mayor for long.
Since that was the case, why would he do something that would harm others and not benefit himself?
"The person who wanted to kill you isn't Mr. Zeng. It's the man behind Mr. Zeng, or he wants to take another man's life with you." Ning Ou saw Ning Shen's shocked expression. His smile was gentle, but the sarcasm in his eyes and Ling Ran were like needles stabbing at him. "Do you think he doesn't know the consequences of killing you? Do you think he really wants to kill you? "
"But didn't you say..." Ning Shen had been out of the business circle for a long time now, and his estimation of the human heart was becoming more and more deviant. That was why he could not understand the current situation.
When Ning Ou saw Ning Shen's look of disbelief, he said with a cold smile, "Do you think that the current world is still the same as when you paid the price back then? The Ning Family is a big family in Nanxing City and a corporate power. They are the reliance of the government. However, at the same time, they have a monopoly and centralization of power. They are the bombs of the government. If one day the Ning Family has ulterior motives or is dissatisfied with the current mayor, how will he protect himself? "
"So he's trying to shake the mountain and shake the tiger?" Hearing Ning Ou's explanation, Ning Shen's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Yes, no one in power wants a situation that he can't control to happen. That's why the Ning Family's power surprised him and made him worry."
"But why didn't he do something to the Ning Family before? Why wait until now?"
"Because now is the best time." The Ning Family had deep roots in Nanxing City and had great power. With their strength and their relationship with the Zhang family, the mayor didn't dare to act rashly. However, as Faang Yuanxi and Hua Jingsheng appeared, he saw the peace on the surface of Nanxing City was broken. More and more people were alarmed. The situation was getting bigger and bigger, and he had a chance to take advantage of it.
In this chaotic battle, even if the economy of Nanxing had some impact, it was still very small. After all, everyone's background could make the higher-ups keep quiet.
This storm would gradually become more intense tonight, and at the same time, it would disappear without a trace tonight.
It would depend on who could protect themselves!
"How did you know?" Ning Shen was shocked by the calmness. He did not know what was going on, but he did not know what was going on. If Yin Lan did not show up, he would not have thought about the consequences.
"Don't forget what kind of existence the Eagle Sect is. It is just a sleeping lion, not a corpse that has already collapsed." Ning Ou harrumphed coldly. His tone was full of killing intent.
Since you know everything, then Yin Lan's appearance was arranged by you? "
"Yin Lan?" Ning Ou was surprised that Yin Lan appeared at the scene. Didn't he tell Zhang Xunmo to save her?
Ning Shenshen saw Ning Ou frown and guessed that Yin Lan's appearance was an accident. He thought something was wrong, "The person who came to see me is not Mister Zeng. It wasn't Hua Jingsheng, but Yin Lan. In order to protect me, she was still fighting with those people. "Quickly go and save her!"
Ning Ou's indifferent expression cracked. Even his hand unconsciously clenched on the armrest. But soon, he calmed down. "Don't worry. She will be fine. After all, she is Hua Jingsheng's subordinate."
"But the person who came isn't Hua Jingsheng. Those people don't seem to know her. If it wasn't for her skill..."
"Enough!"
Ning Ou didn't want to listen to Ning Shen anymore. He shouted and interrupted, "Yin Lan is very skilled. Nothing will happen to her. Tonight, the situation has changed. It was not easy for us to gain the upper hand, so we should not get involved. After tonight, Nanxing will definitely be reshuffled. If we are not careful, Ning Family will be doomed."
Ning Ou's words were right. Ning Shen had nothing to refute. He was not willing to let him destroy the empire that he had sacrificed for himself. But when he thought of Yin Lan, he was afraid that... Ning Ou would regret it.
"Ou, you can look at the overall situation and analyze the situation rationally. I know that you must have a plan to retreat safely. So I want to tell you that although the human heart is unpredictable, it is enough to destroy one's heart by just watching from the side."
After saying that, Ning Shen turned around and walked into the room. He was in a sorry state and needed to be cleaned up. Ning Ou also needed time alone to think about his sincerity.
Ning Ou had always scoffed at Ning Shen's words, but tonight, his heart was touched by Ning Shen's last sentence. It was enough to destroy his heart and watch from the side.
Back then, he had felt a chill in his heart because of Ning Shen's indifference, but what about Yin Lan?
Why did she hate Xu Family so much?
Did she really want to do it?
The fireworks above her head were gorgeous and beautiful, but they were fleeting. But in order to pierce through the darkness, they bravely bloomed their lives and used their short lives to summon light.
This kind of lone battle made Yin Lan, who had always been hostile to many people in the attic, empathize with them.
The gun had no bullets and she changed into a scalpel. After she made a clean move, she pushed back one enemy after another. The others seemed to be frightened by her skills and hesitated, not willing to go forward.
She smiled and took a step forward. They retreated in fear and fear, but they did not dare to escape. Both sides were in a deadlock.
Yin Lan looked at them and was about to say something when a figure rushed over from outside the door. The figure was extremely tall. He kicked with his long legs and swept across the sky.
She raised her arms and formed a right angle in front of her chest. Although she had used all her strength to tighten her muscles, she was still pushed back by the natural physical strength of the other party.
Only when she retreated to the wall did she lean against the wall and stand still.
"Yo! How capable are you?"
With a smile, he wiped away the sharp air and instantly caused the atmosphere to become even more tense, almost suffocating.
However, this tone made Yin Lan feel familiar.
When she noticed that the other party had attacked again, she shouted, "Seiffer, it's me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a hurricane stop on her face.
"Girl!" Seiffer's voice could not hide his shock. He walked closer to take a closer look.1
The light in the room was weak. In addition to the previous fight, the room was in a mess. Yin Lan was standing in a mess barefooted. Her legs and body were stained with blood. She looked like a doll that had been messed with.
After confirming that it was Yin Lan, Seiffer turned his head and said to the people waiting outside, "Boss, it's a girl."
The word "boss" made Yin Lan's heart jump. It was as if she had done something wrong and had been caught red-handed.
Suddenly, she felt like she had made a mistake again.
Sure enough, as Seiffer's voice came to a stop, a steady sound of footsteps came from the door, accompanying it. There was another series of rapid footsteps.
Yin Lan was at a loss when she heard the footsteps approaching from a distance.
A black shadow rushed close from the door. Wherever it passed, the moonlight would hide and the dark light would shine brightly. He slowly walked over in the darkness. Every step he took made Yin Lan feel a wave of unease that was about to burst.
"Master Jing, I..."
Slap!
An extremely loud slap was heard. At the same time, the slap caused half of her face to burn and hurt.
What followed was another extremely gloomy and sinister question.
"Yin Lan, do you know what you are doing?"
Yin Lan covered her face and gritted her teeth to hold back the blood in her mouth. She looked up at Hua Jingsheng, who was as tall as a mountain. She was confused and uneasy.
"Master Jing, I did nothing."
Hua Jingsheng's deep brows and eyes were filled with darkness. Even his usually icy-blue eyes were pierced into the night. The strange and deathly silence made her panic.
"Girl, how can you betray Master Jing?"
Another question made Yin Lan's heart want to break and her breathing want to stop.
