They walked from the tunnel all the way back to the cell where they were held. The road seemed to be much longer than when they walked.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not speak the entire way. The silence made Yan Kuan’s heart ache for her.
He really should not have brought her to see those dirty things, but he did not expect Ouyang Tian to treat An Ning like that.
In fact, his feelings for An Ning were very complicated.
They did have a blood relationship, but Yan Kuan always felt that An Ning was a little disgusting. It wasn’t because of her background that she couldn’t choose, but because some of her actions were exactly the same as the Ouyang family’s.
Sure enough, growing up in that place, she would be brought up by that place.
Just now, Shen Xiaoxiao asked him if he wanted to save An Ning. In fact, he really wanted to say… Why? Why should he save her? Was she pitiful? No, he didn’t think she was pitiful.
Since An Ning had enjoyed the wealth and comfortable life brought by the Ouyang family, then she had to give everything she could for the Ouyang family. Wasn’t that the right thing to do? Where in the world was there a free lunch?
Moreover, he felt that it might not be what they had seen. An Ning might have done it voluntarily!
After all, the Ouyang family could not be measured by ordinary people’s thinking.
The narrow and long tunnel slowly turned pitch black.
They knew that they had to return to that forbidden area again!
However, this time, they met Dark 1 halfway. Dark 1 must have been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the two of them coming over, Shen Xiaoxiao could feel the excitement in Dark 1’s tone.
“Master, you’re awake? That’s great. Dark 1 asks Mistress to forgive him. Dark 1 took advantage of your trust.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Dark 1 who was standing there with some thoughts in her heart. However, Dark 1’s motive was all for Yan Kuan, so she had nothing to fuss about. Moreover, she had to thank Dark 1. Otherwise, how could she have met Yan Kuan so quickly?
“You’re doing this for Yan Kuan’s sake. It’s nothing. However, as compensation, Dark 1, you have to bring out your skills tonight and prepare a big meal for your Miss. I just vomited all the food I had for lunch.”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s complaints and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as she did not mind eating, that was good. After all, she would not always think about those disgusting things when her attention was diverted.
“Eat well after we leave. It’s been hard on you all these days.”
“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for my negligence, my Lord would not have been…”
“Alright, Dark 1, you might be very busy next. Ouyang Tang will soon discover that the four paintings in his study have gone missing. As the commander of the Ouyang family’s guards, you will bear the brunt of the responsibility.”
Yan Kuan suddenly interrupted Dark 1’s words. Dark 1 was stunned at first, but he immediately understood that his Boss must have done something? He immediately nodded and said, “I understand.”
“Dark 1, can you help me do something today?”
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, causing Yan Kuan and Dark 1 to be stunned. What did this little thing want to do this time?
“You have to set a few fires in a few places today. Otherwise, I won’t be able to let go of this anger in my heart.”
Yan Kuan saw that this little guy was actually thinking about this matter and was delighted. Of course, even if she didn’t order him to set the fire, he would still order Dark 1 to do it.
Dark 1 didn’t know what they had encountered before, but when he heard that Shen Xiaoxiao was going to set the fire, he just thought that Miss wanted to take revenge.
Miss had suffered so much with her big belly and it was inevitable that she wanted to take revenge.
“May I know which places Miss would like to set on fire?”
“It would be best if it’s Ouyang Tian’s courtyard. However, I know that it’s very difficult, so I’ll burn An Ning’s courtyard. It’s too dirty.”
“I understand.”
“My Lord, those people tonight will…”
Dark 1 had just gone to the forbidden area to type the password, but there was no response for a long time. At that time, he had guessed that his Boss might have woken up, so he waited at the same place. He did not expect that he would really run into them. However, he had to report the news he wanted to bring to them in time, because those people tonight would make their Boss into a death warrior.
“You don’t have to worry about those people not being able to come tonight.”
Hearing Yan Kuan’s reply, Dark 1 was stunned again. Boss had really done something big? Was it arranged in such a short time?
“Oh right, Dark 1, where’s 19? Is 19 okay? You didn’t do anything to him?”
The last question made even Yan Kuan feel a little speechless. This little guy was really full of ideas. She could even ask Dark 1 about this.
Of course, Dark 1 also looked sullen. Why was his image so bad in the Miss’s heart?
“Miss, don’t worry. 19 is fine. 19 asked me to tell Miss something. He said that Third Uncle said: ‘The jujubes by the post this year are really bitter. If Miss wants to eat the jujube mud cake, she can only pick wild jujubes!’”
“What did you say? When did this happen? When did the news come?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. If this was really what Third Uncle said, then the man in black could not be Third Uncle.
But the eyes of that man in black were clearly very similar to Third Uncle’s. What was going on? Who was that man in black?
“The news was said when 19 contacted Third Uncle this morning. I was there at the time. There will definitely be no problem.”
“Where’s Grandma Lin? Did 19 talk to Grandma Lin?”
“Third Uncle said that Grandma Lin has contacted her overseas relatives and is staying with them temporarily. She will return to the country in a while.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not speak for a long time. This matter was really a mess. It was extremely messy!
After Shen Xiaoxiao heard the news, she did not speak anymore. She did not hear anything that Yan Kuan and Dark 1 had told her.
Her attention had already shifted to the man in black and Third Uncle. What was the connection between the man in black and Third Uncle? Her feeling was definitely not wrong. Why was there such a strange relationship between the two?
After Dark 1 left, Yan Kuan held her hand and slowly continued to walk forward in the tunnel.
After returning to the dark prison, Yan Kuan asked Shen Xiaoxiao, “What does the password between you and Third Uncle mean? Is it somewhere?”
“Previously, when I suspected that fake, I was worried that he would use Third Uncle to threaten me, so I used 19 to get Third Uncle to return to the country and hide. Only Third Uncle and I know the password, so it’s absolutely impossible for anyone to fake it. If 19 only got in touch with Third Uncle this morning, and the man in black is not Third Uncle, then I think it’s a little strange. Then who exactly is that man in black?”
Looking at Shen Xiaoxiao’s appearance, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. However, because the identity of the black man was only a hope, if Shen Xiaoxiao found out the truth one day, she should not panic and lose her mind!
“Xiaoxiao, do you still remember what I said to you? In this world, don’t believe anyone except yourself. Now, I still say the same thing to you. Remember, don’t believe anyone, including me.”
“Why? Why can’t I trust you?”
Yan Kuan felt uncomfortable when Shen Xiaoxiao couldn’t see him. However, he changed his tone too quickly and said to Shen Xiaoxiao: “Have you forgotten about that fake?”
