Chapter 1714: You Killed My Xiao Lan!
“I’ll go with you.” When 795 noticed Ning Shu sneaking around, he immediately said this to her.
Ning Shu nodded. She went into the hall and then to the grandmother’s room. The room was pitch black and damp, with a musty smell. There was a small window where the curtains had not been pulled open.
When Ning Shu pulled the curtains open, light shone into the room, illuminating the insides.
“Hurry and see if there’s any secret passage mechanism,” said Ning Shu said to 795. She herself started searching in the bedside closet and the worn-out paintings hanging on the wall.
“They’re in the courtyard. We need to go,” said 795.
Ning Shu had also heard the footsteps. She went out of the room, closing the door behind her.
The old woman’s cloudy eyes were streaming with tears as she shouted, “Get out of my house right now. You killed my Xiao Lan! Xiao Lan was just a blind child. Why did you do this to her? Leave my house! Get out…”
Zhang Jiasen sneered and said, “We will leave in time. We can’t leave now.”
“You guys are shameless.” The old woman was trembling with anger. “Are you trying to take over the house now? This is my home!”
Zhang Jiasen walked close to the old woman. He abruptly turned over her collar and saw a black thread hanging on her neck. He directly ripped off the pendant.
Ning Shu was a little surprised that the old woman also had this kind of stone.
“Who are you to take my things? Give it back to me!” The old woman stretched out her hand to snatch back the pendant, but her aging body was no match for the young and powerful Zhang Jiasen.
Zhang Jiasen kicked the old woman’s chest, sending her to the ground. She covered her heart for half a day before getting up. Her face was white as a sheet of paper.
“Aigoo, he’s trying to kill me…” the old lady covered her heart and cried.
“Wang Jie, you…”
Everyone else stared blankly at Zhang Jiansen. They obviously did not expect Zhang Jiansen to strike so hard. Besides, the other party was an old woman.
Zhang Jiasen put the spirit stone in his pocket. At the same time, he cast a stealthy glance at the uncle, who looked indifferent. His emotions couldn’t be read from his face.
“This grandmother and granddaughter are murderers,” said Zhang Jiasen.
“That can’t possibly be right…”
“Why would they want to kill us…”
“They’re an old lady and a blind girl. It’s not easy for them to take us down…”
“Isn’t the blind girl dead now?”
Zhang Jiasen didn’t explain too much. He reached into his pocket and held the pendant tightly.
When Ning Shu saw Zhang Jiasen so concerned about this stone, her heart was itching with curiosity. What was the benefit of this thing? Why would Zhang Jiasen be so reckless to get it?
“How about we secretly attack him?” whispered Ning Shu to 795.
795 said, “Are you sure? We’re carrying out the task now. What if we get eliminated?”
“Then, forget it.” Ning Shu stared at Zhang Jiasen’s pocket. She really couldn’t bring herself to accept that thing falling into Zhang Jiasen’s hands.
The old lady stood up with difficulty with the help of her cane. She bowed and hunched, and her eyes swept the crowd with a sinister look. “You will not end well.”
She then went to the room and closed the door behind her.
How did things end up going in such a different direction?
Earlier, it was obviously a murder, but now, it had changed into a treasure hunt?
The cold wind howled as the crowd entered the hall.
“Advisor, what should we do now?” Lu Shanshan asked the uncle, “Is it still not finished?”
Lu Shanshan was trying to ask how exactly this task was considered to be completed.
Ning Shu stared at Zhang Jiasen, who was standing far away from the uncle. He was clearly afraid that the uncle would snatch his stuff again.
Ning Shu pondered for a moment, then took a shovel from the yard. She started digging the soil from the ground.
