Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 208 Discovery
In the darkness, Su Ning's face was grim; he had not yet fully recovered from the scene he had witnessed.

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, he simply nodded in agreement.

"Ning Baogai, are you alright?"

Noticing her unease, Luo Shuangshuang immediately suppressed her smile. "Are you worried about what that beast Wei Junjie might do?"

"No, I was just thinking about something."

Patting the back of her hand, Su Ning glanced at the sky and said, "Xiyou, you should go back first. Uncle Luo and the others will be worried later."

He dropped someone off in a ten-minute trip and ended up losing his way. If he doesn't go back soon, Luo Wu will probably have to go out and look for him again.

After watching her walk through the gate, he and Zhang Qi turned back.

……

Several snowfalls have occurred in the mountains since the beginning of winter, but the city has yet to experience its first snowfall.

The air was just more humid and colder than usual, and it felt a bit chilly and refreshing when you breathed it in.

However, by 8 or 9 o'clock, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, and the only sound along the long street was the rhythmic footsteps of two people.

The Z compound in the city is not far from the street. When the two walked back to the gate of the small courtyard, the gate was half open and the lights in the courtyard were on. The two elderly people were sitting on the porch, waiting anxiously in the cold wind.

"Dad, Mom, why aren't you coming inside?"

"Yes, godfather and godmother, it's so cold outside!"

After closing the courtyard gate, the two quickly walked up to them, each helping one of them up and leading them into the house.

Unlike in the village, where every household in the city has a brazier in the kitchen, where families gather around the fire for dinner to warm themselves and chat, and then soak their feet in the fire before going to bed, the houses in the city are much warmer.

The only way to keep warm here is by burning coal briquettes or charcoal in a small stove.

After leading the person to the main room, Su Ning went to the kitchen to light a fire and burn some charcoal. Only after the black smoke from the charcoal had subsided did she lift the stove and return to the room.

Zhang Qi had already given a general account of the situation, including Secretary Luo's attitude and the chance encounter with Wei Junjie.

"Serves him right! Giving him only a beating is too lenient!"

The couple were practically grinding their back teeth to powder. Zhang Fu especially regretted not going with them, otherwise he could have kicked that beast a few times and collected more interest.

She wiped away the tears that had involuntarily welled up in the corners of her eyes, and saw that Su Ning had just put down the stove and was about to pick up the thermos to boil water.

Hu Yingtao quickly took her hand and made her sit down next to her. "Ningning, don't bother, your little hands are so cold."

It was also her fault. She should have finished these things before the two of them came back, but she was absent-minded the whole time. She only made a simple dinner and then put Xiao Qiu to sleep while she was waiting for the two of them to come back.

The stove wasn't lit, and the water wasn't boiled.

Running back and forth in this freezing weather, you must be frostbitten.

"Godmother, I'm not cold at all; I'm wearing a lot of clothes."

Seeing the self-reproach and regret in her eyes, Su Ning obediently put down the thermos and sat down next to her, letting her warm her hands over the stove.

Turning to look at Zhang Fu and Zhang Qi, who had suddenly fallen silent, he said, "Godfather, elder brother, Zhang Ge and I are going out tomorrow morning."

"Ningning, you don't need to go. I'll go with Brother Zhang Ze."

Zhang Qiqiang gathered his thoughts and knew that she said this to prepare to collect evidence against Wei Junjie. There were still men in the house, so how could he let her do such a dangerous thing?

“I’m just helping to keep watch outside. With Brother Zhang’s skills, he can handle it all by himself. But you have other more important things to do, Brother.”

"what's up?"

"Go and keep watch."

……

The conversation lasted for a long time, until late at night before everyone dispersed to rest.

The next morning, Su Ning hurriedly left home despite the drizzling rain. After meeting with Zhang Ze and explaining the situation, the two quickly went to the house that Wei Junjie had bought.

Fortunately, Zhang Ze had thoroughly investigated these matters during his initial investigation, which saved him some unnecessary trouble and prevented him from wasting time and energy.

This residential area is located on the outskirts of the ancient city and near the national highway, so it is relatively scattered and not concentrated.

Wei Junjie certainly knows how to pick a location. The bungalow he bought has a unique geographical location, with the Qianwan River flowing into Lishui in front and a mountain cliff behind.

There was no village or shop in sight, and with two-meter-high brick walls and not even a gate, no matter how loudly the people inside shouted, they couldn't summon even a ghost.

However, Su Ning, who had glimpsed his future, knew that the place Zhang Ze had investigated was only used by Wei Junjie to detain and discipline the kidnapped people in the first few days.

The items collected to satisfy special psychological fetishes, and the well-trained people, are all in the secret chambers built in the deep forest behind this mountain.

How can we lure Brother Zhang over there and coincidentally discover him?
"Ningning, you stay here, I'll go in and check." "Okay. Be careful, Brother Zhang. If anyone comes, I'll imitate a bird call."

Zhang Ze nodded, observed the surroundings for a while, and after selecting a location, he quietly moved closer.

This high wall might be quite difficult for others, but Zhang Ze did it with ease.

After confirming that there was no movement inside, I took a few big steps back, used the wall for leverage, and used my hands and feet to flip over and land safely.

The room inside was small, and there was nothing in the yard. The closer you got to the door, the more obvious the faint smell of blood became.

He tried pushing the door, but it wasn't locked. Zhang Ze's ears twitched as he listened intently, and he carefully stepped over the threshold, his brows furrowed and his back bent.

Sure enough, the cement floor inside the room was covered in the color of dried black and red blood.

A low shelf was placed against the wall, with various torture instruments on both the top and bottom shelves, and two chains were welded to the wall next to it.

He crouched down, picked up the handcuffs that had fallen to the ground, examined them carefully in the light behind him, and even brought them close to his nose to smell them.

After thoroughly searching the small room, inside and out, leaving no detail overlooked, he finally discovered the switch for the underground passage leading into the room.

Skilled and daring, Zhang Ze didn't hesitate and quickly entered the tunnel, closing the mechanism from inside before disappearing into the darkness.

……

Suning, who was waiting outside, glanced at his watch again, a hint of anxiety on his face.

Why hasn't Brother Zhang come out yet after being inside for so long?
That shouldn't be the case. He clearly touched her before he went in, and apart from the incident with Grandma Zhang, there were no other images shown.

"Ning Ning."

"Brother Zhang?"

I looked in the direction he came from, then looked back at the place he entered.

What's going on? Why did he come out from the opposite direction?
No, the courtyard wall didn't have a gate. Since they didn't come back the way they came, they must have found a way in.

"I've found the secret passage to get in."

it is as expected.

Nodding, understanding his gaze, Su Ning followed closely behind him without saying a word.

Following the direction he had just taken, the two of them climbed over the not-too-high hillside in front of them, one after the other.

Zhang Ze has an excellent sense of direction, and his ability to remember routes is exceptional. Even routes that look similar can be clearly memorized in just one trip.

Instead of choosing the small mountain path worn down by human feet, the wild path proved to be even more difficult to traverse.

As they ventured deeper into the dense forest, the surroundings became increasingly eerie, and the moisture in the air grew heavier.

When they arrived at that place, the hems of their clothes were covered with flat, round, thorny grass seeds, and their hair and shoulders were soaked.

"This is it. One of the secret passages leads into the courtyard, and there's an even more hidden one that leads here."

Fearing she would get impatient, Zhang Ze decided to return after reaching this point, without going in to investigate.

That bastard surnamed Wei is more like a spy than a regular agent; he's really good at hiding his tracks. He almost missed the clue here.

Silently giving a thumbs up, Suning couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Brother Zhang was!

Not long ago, she was still struggling with how to lure people this way, but he noticed something was wrong from the subtle details and came over in advance.

"Look, Brother Zhang!"

With a slight nod of his chin, Suning looked directly at one spot.

It was a huge tree that required several people to hold its trunk and encircle it, with a simple wooden hut built under its umbrella-shaped canopy.

As if sensing something unfamiliar, two or three large black dogs with glossy fur and strong, powerful limbs darted out.

Those big black dogs had a bloodshot, ferocious look in their eyes, resembling hungry wolves from the mountains, and were nothing like the silly, cute country dogs that humans raise.

Even though it spotted a stranger, it didn't bark; instead, it lunged at them as if to bite.

"Brother Zhang, use this!"

Without time to say more, Su Ning quickly pulled out two small porcelain bottles from her cotton coat pocket, which contained the mutated version of the sleeping potion she had initially developed.

I had witnessed the drug's effects firsthand before, and it was more than enough to take down these big black dogs.

It's so annoying being constantly reviewed and deleted. My family even belittled my writing of novels. I don't know how to describe this feeling. I'm lost. This is my last month on the list. If you have any monthly votes on the 30th, please save them for me. Just that one day, even a pear needs a ray of light, someone to hold an umbrella for it.

Please help me! At least let me show my family some good data so I can have a chance to refute it. Help!
