Chapter 217: Wei Liao and Xu Ning
“It’s all up to you now, Wei Liao,” Xu Ning said, recalling that he would need Wei Liao’s help later on, going forward to pat Wei Liao on the shoulder.
Wei Liao looked as if he was overwhelmed by the action, happily going to the door and taking out a wire, as if he was performing a trick. In just a few moves, he managed to get the door open.
Xu Ning’s face turned serious and the group of people entered the house silently. It was completely dark, yet it wasn’t a challenge for an ability user like Xu Ning.
It was slightly blurry, but he could see everything. He made a hand gesture and Wei Liao took out a candle from his bag. Then, Xu Ning moved his hand and a little flame appeared, lighting the candle.
Just as they were about to make a move, they suddenly heard a rustling noise.
Xu Ning’s thick brows furrowed, wondering, ‘What’s going on? There must be someone in the living room!’
Xu Ning gave Wei Liao a look and Wei Liao took out a cleaver as he followed behind Xu Ning, moving towards the noise.
When they got closer, they realized a small person huddled in the corner. She seemed to have seen the candlelight, her small body trembling.
“Who are you and why are you in my house?” Xu Ning questioned, ready to form a fireball with his hand at any time.
“Ah, don’t hit me, don’t hit me!” the little person said in a clear and pleasant voice.
Xu Ning’s hand moved slightly, and he gave Wei Liao a look. After Wei Liao received Xu Ning’s signal, he went forward and squatted, then said gently, “Don’t be afraid, nobody is going to harm you. We are good people.”
Hearing this, Qin Yi’s mouth twitched. ‘The leader of a group of murderers calling himself a good person? Does he really think I’m an ignorant young girl?’
Qin Yi had that thought in her mind, but when she raised her little face, she looked as pure and innocent as ever. She looked at this fair teenager before her, tilted her head, and asked meekly, “Big brother, is this true? You guys won’t bully Jiaojiao?”
When Xu Ning and Wei Liao saw that face, they couldn’t help but gasp. The young girl’s face was covered in dirt, but it couldn’t conceal her beautiful features, those stunning phoenix eyes appearing to be the most beautiful gems on earth.
Xu Ning swallowed and sized up Qin Yi’s stunning hour-glass figure with a nefarious look. This young lady was simply too beautiful. If they offered her to Boss, he would definitely be able to rise up in rank.
“Hehe, little girl, of course it’s true! We’re good people, why would we bully you? You’re Jiaojiao, right? Why are you here?” Xu Ning tried his best to give a friendly smile, not knowing how sinister he looked.
Qin Yi hesitated for a moment and snuck a careful glance at Xu Ning, her watery eyes like a little deer’s – adorable and making one take pity on her.
The young lady twiddled her fingers uneasily, her watery eyes glancing at Xu Ning once more before she said softly, “I am Jiaojiao, I wanted to go to Z-City with my mother to look for my father, but a group of people abducted me. After that, I came to this place with them. I ate a lot and they hated that, so they left me here.”
Xu Ning knitted his brows and his voice got louder as he asked, “You’re saying that a group of people were here before? They had already left?”
Qin Yi was frightened by Xu Ning’s voice and immediately curled up again, her back facing Xu Ning.
When Wei Liao saw this, his heart ached and he grumbled slightly, “Big brother Ning, you’re too loud! You’ve scared her.”
Xu Ning rolled his eyes at Wei Liao and leaned over to whisper in his ear, “You better not be tempted. This chick is going to be dedicated to Boss, so I suggest that you give up on any idea you had. Snatching a woman from Boss – are you courting death?”
