C284 The Person Behind Him
"Master Jing!" Yin Lan heard Hua Jingsheng's forceful words and stared at him with pain and disappointment.
Hua Jingsheng let go of her hand and suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with ice, "I gave you a chance. Whether you want it or not, you decide."
Yin Lan watched him walk out. She did not dare to think too much about it. She immediately shouted, "I'll marry! I'll marry you!"
At the end, his voice was tinged with tears.
Hearing her painful voice, Hua Jingsheng, who had his back to her, closed his eyes and endured the discomfort in his heart. He said indifferently, "I'll give him two days. These two days, I promise I won't make things difficult for him. Once these two days are over, I'll give the order to kill him, no matter where he is. " And two days later, it will be the day you marry me. "
After saying that, he left.
When Yin Lan heard these words, her entire body seemed to have been seriously injured. She fell to the ground and could not stand up again.
When the three people outside who were eavesdropping saw that Hua Jingsheng was about to come out, they all ran out. When they saw that Hua Jingsheng was far away, they carefully came out.
"So, it will be our feast in two days?" Saul looked at the other two with a surprised expression.
Morsen also thought it was a good thing, but when he saw Wu Sheng's serious expression, he felt something was wrong. "Sheng," he said. Don't you think that's a good thing?
Wu Sheng sighed heavily. "I don't know. I believe in Master Jing's decision, but I don't know what this decision will bring in the end."
"Why are you so worried? Lan used to be the boss's woman. What's wrong with being the boss's wife now?" Morsen did not know what kind of relationship Yin Lan and Ning Ou had. He only knew that Yin Lan had been willful recently, and the boss had always been tolerant. The two of them were very close.
"Yes, I think it's good." Saul also agreed. Yin Lan had been by his side for a long time and his boss also liked her. The two of them could be considered to have gotten along well. Although something had happened before, it was not a big deal.
When Wu Sheng heard what the two of them said, he just felt helpless. It seemed that he was the only one who knew the inside story.
"It's alright now. Let's go and rest."
"I haven't had a good rest for a long time. I have to hurry up now. Otherwise, I will be busy from tomorrow onwards." Saul touched his forehead, which was still wrapped in gauze. He smiled and left.
"I will go back to my side," Saul said. Morsen patted Wu Sheng. "If you are still worried, you can go and take a look. After all, among us, she is closer to you."
Wu Sheng did not answer. He looked into the brightly lit room and nodded slowly.
After Morsen left, Wu Sheng stood outside the door for a while. When he stepped into the hall, he stood still again.
At this time, Yin Lan must be very depressed. She must be very aggressive and could easily get the opposite effect. He thought about it and left.
Yin Lan, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the empty hall. She stared at the light in her eyes but her heart was walking step by step towards despair.
In the end, she still had to leave Ning Ou.
The next morning, she sat on the ground for the whole night before slowly coming back to her senses. She got up and sat back on the sofa. Just as she sat down, Wu Sheng walked in with the breakfast he had prepared. He looked at her, who was sitting on the sofa with an even paler face. His gaze became deeper as he walked over.
Yin Lan leaned her head on the sofa. After a night of calm, her mood had become much more stable. The truth was already unacceptable. Now, she could only resign herself to fate.
She could not force Ning Ou to risk his life to save her. She only had one life. Once she lost it, she could not turn back. Otherwise, she would not be willing to be tricked like this.
There were many things that had already been decided. If Ning Ou was a little stronger now, if she had been a little more determined back then, perhaps things would not be like today.
"Yin, have some breakfast." Wu Sheng sat beside her. He looked at her bandaged and bleeding hands and said softly.
Yin Lan opened her eyes and looked at Wu Sheng beside her. She forced a smile. Am I in a bad shape like this?"
Wu Sheng had seen breakfast pushed to her hand but did not answer her. He sighed heavily and said, "Master Jing is also in a bad shape."
When Hua Jingsheng was mentioned, Yin Lan's smile disappeared. Instead, she was replaced by an emotion that was neither hatred nor sorrow.
"I have followed Master Jing for twenty years. He was by his side when he was young. I have experienced many things with him. " Let's not talk about life and death, but at least I have seen through people's hearts. I thought Master Jing wouldn't be trapped by personal feelings for the rest of his life. But the reality was like this, always giving a person the most unexpected surprise when he was the most arrogant. You turned the tables for Ning Ou. Even when you were willing to make Master Jing your enemy, Master Jing was trying hard to convince himself. "Don't be angry with you. Don't use your power to restrain you. However, the results showed that You've all embarked on the path you least want to walk."
Yin Lan heard his words and lightly lowered her brows as she said in a low voice. "Fifth brother, there are some things that can be repeated but there are also some things that can be missed and will not come back. I cannot be like before and follow by his side."
"Perhaps I said those words very ruthlessly, but I still want to say it. As long as you stay here, there will be a day when you will be moved by the endless time in the future. " Wu Sheng insisted on his opinion.
"So in your opinion, Master Jing is the one who suits me?" Yin Lan had a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were dark.
"Yes, although Ning Ou is the pillar of Eagle Sect," she said. However, the Eagle Sect had only been established for a short period of time, and there were too many enemies. Plus, he has countless connections with the Cheetah Family, which is currently plagued by negative emotions. Even if Master Jing doesn't make a move, he will still be able to deal with him. Even though Ning Ou was an intelligent man, he was still an intelligent man. However, this piece of land was no longer suitable for him to grow, unless he changed his position. However, how could Master Jing allow him to grow? Therefore, the reason why he came here was to find a force stronger than Master Jing as his backing. He had to wait for the right moment or give up on this path. No matter which path he took, it would be extremely difficult for him.
"Find someone stronger than Master Jing, and that person will definitely propose a deal. Those people in Ning Ou's hands don't like them, and Ning Ou might not be willing to give them what they want. If that was the case, which path was left? Ning Ou was proud and arrogant, so how could he accept it? "The result can be imagined!"
Ning Ou could give up everything he had for her, but he would never admit defeat because of Hua Jingsheng.
"Even so, he could not do anything about it. Master Jing's power and status are much higher than his now. It can only be said that he was born at a bad time." Wu Sheng sighed with emotion when he said this.
"That's why I have no other choice." Yin Lan smiled sadly and did not want to mention it again.
Wu Sheng saw Yin Lan's sad face and patted her shoulder. "The day after tomorrow is a big day for you and Master Jing. These two days should be very busy. Master Jing asked me to help you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. I will listen to whatever wedding dress you want, what jewelry you want, and how you want it to be held."
Yin Lan looked at him and begged in her voice, "Fifth brother, I want to see him again."
Wu Sheng's face darkened when he heard her request.
"One side, one side is good!" Yin Lan looked at him earnestly and begged earnestly, "I won't do anything. I just want the relationship between me and him to be complete."
"Why are you doing this? He might have heard about this matter!" Wu Sheng did not understand why Yin Lan always picked the difficult path. Could it be that she did not know what would happen if she went to see Ning Ou?
"This way, I feel at ease."
In the magnificent Cheetah Family, Faang Yuanxi agreed to let Ning Ou see Elder Lieh and personally led him to Elder Lieh's room. Ning Ou looked at the guards and the servants taking care of Elder Lieh's three meals a day. He couldn't help but chuckle. "I didn't know you took special care of him."
"After all, he's a senior." Faang Yuanxi smiled faintly. "Let's go in."
Ning Ou saw him stop outside the door. He nodded and walked in. The room was very big, and the lighting was very good. There were special oil paintings hanging on the four walls, and the outer hall was covered with dark carpet. On the other side of the wall, there was a small bookcase with some books that had already been turned over. Elder Lieh's life was better than he had thought. He had adapted to this kind of life in captivity far beyond Ning Ou's imagination. He even had the leisure to draw in an elegant manner.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Elder Lieh's wandering pen paused. He looked up and saw that the person who was walking towards him was Ning Ou. Although there were ripples in his eyes, he did not seem too surprised.
Ning Ou saw that Elder Lieh looked at him indifferently and continued to speak in his hand. He gently curled his lips. "Elder Lieh really has a good mood. He can be so happy even in the life of a bird in a cage."
"You came here to mock me. You can go now." Elder Lieh did not look at him and answered calmly.
"I don't think so." Ning Ou picked up the other brushes on the table and said coldly, "I'm just curious. How can a stone-hearted person like you have such a poetic feeling?"
Elder Lieh snorted and did not respond.
Ning Ou saw that Elder Lieh did not speak, so he looked around. He said in a low voice, Elder Lieh, do you have any other plans? Do you think this kind of life won't last long?"
This sentence made Elder Lieh stop writing again. He put down the pen and stared at Ning Ou with his eagle-like eyes. "Even if it's you, don't try to get anything out of me. " I'm just a lonely old man now. I'm just a chess piece waiting to be used. So, you don't have to test me anymore."
"A chess piece! This is indeed very suitable for you. A heartless and emotionless person like you isn't worthy of family. " Ning Ou looked at him with disdain. "Back then, in order to rope me in and make me work for you, you have repeatedly plotted against me. Now, you have become a chess piece is retribution. "Today, I will come. I came today not to see you make a fool of yourself, but to ask you something."
Elder Lieh was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't refute Ning Ou's scolding. However, Ning Ou's last sentence made him show a slightly fearful expression.
Ning Ou tightly locked his eyes and did not let go of any of the other people's subtle expressions. Then, he asked indifferently, "Who is the person behind you?"
Elder Lieh's eyes suddenly opened when he was asked this question. His expression was obscure and difficult to distinguish.
"The Cheetah Family was able to survive like this not only because of the foundation they accumulated in the past, but also because you did such a wicked thing behind your back. It is impossible for no one to clean up the mess for you. Moreover, even if you are imprisoned here, Faang Yuanxi would not dare to touch you easily. It must be related to the person behind you, right?"
Ning Ou's words were as sharp as a knife. The sharpness of his words made Elder Lieh almost unable to avoid it.2
