Chapter 214 Action
When Wu Han learned that the person he had gone to great lengths to send had not received the punishment he deserved, and that all his loved ones were dead and he had no one left to care about, he completely let go of everything and began his revenge.

Although the scenes of tormenting Wei Junjie are extremely satisfying, it comes at the cost of his own life, making it hard to say whether it was worth it.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

For Wu Han, as a son and brother, there's probably no question of whether it's worth it or not.

She shook her head and couldn't help but sigh at the fate of those who should have had such bright futures. Fortunately, things had already deviated from their original course, and the Wu family would surely change their predetermined ending.

"what…"

Hearing the noise behind her, Su Ning immediately snapped out of her thoughts, grabbed the flashlight on the table, turned it on, and quickly walked out of bed.

The person in their sleep had their forehead covered in fine sweat, and their two curved willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly furrowed, making them look very uncomfortable.

Its slightly open mouth, though free of dead skin, was still colorless, and it was now uttering unconscious murmurs.

"Sister Wu Meng, Sister Wu Meng!"

As if hearing a call, Wu Meng struggled to open her eyes, her pupils suddenly trembling, instinctively revealing fear and dread.

She raised her hand to touch her forehead and cheeks; they weren't hot. Relieved, Su Ning carefully sat down and gently took her hand. "Don't be afraid, Sister Wu Meng, you're safe now."

“Su…Su…”

"It's me, I'm here."

Holding her hand back and feeling the warmth between her fingers, Wu Meng felt a sense of reality: she had truly been rescued and had truly escaped that hellhole.

Noticing that she had adjusted to the light, Su Ning tugged on the light cord on the wall not far from the bed.

The warm yellow light instantly brightened the entire room and dispelled the unease brought by the darkness.

"Sister Wu Meng, wait a moment, I'll go get you some food, it'll be ready soon."

Being locked underground, she didn't know how often that beast would feed her, which made her so thin that she was just skin and bones, and you could count the ribs in her chest and abdomen.

There was a bowl of millet porridge kept warm on the small stove in the kitchen, so that she could eat it as soon as she woke up.

Millet porridge is light and good for the stomach, and it's easy to digest even if you eat it at night.

Suning strode into the kitchen, took a small bowl from the cupboard, filled it with millet porridge, grabbed a small wooden spoon, and hurriedly turned back into the house.

First, I placed the bowl on the wooden stool by the bedside and then used another pillow to support her back. "Sister Wu Meng, let me help you."

He gently helped her sit up and lean against the pillow behind her, then began to feed her porridge spoonful by spoonful.

After she finished eating, I applied the medicine all over her again. By the time I finished all that, it was almost dawn.

……

As people get older, they need less sleep and have shallow sleep. Because of their great emotional fluctuations, Zhang Fu and Hu Yingtao slept even more restlessly and got up early.

They thought they were early enough, but when they arrived in the yard, they found the kitchen lights were on and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"Ning Ning?"

"Godfather and godmother, you're awake."

"You little rascal, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Seeing her fair face, her nose red from the cold, and a noticeable dark circle under her eye, Hu Yingtao stepped forward and snatched the shovel from her hand. "I'll do it, you take a rest."

"Ningning, why don't you come to our room and keep Xiaoqiu company for a while? You can't stay up all night."

Zhang Fu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but speak up, his reproachful tone revealing his deep concern.

He understands that the girl he rescued needs to take care of him, but he can't neglect his own health.

Seeing that it was just getting light, Xiao Qiu could still sleep for an hour or two without being disturbed.

"I just dozed off for a bit and don't need to sleep anymore. I feel pretty good, so don't worry, godfather and godmother."

"Such a stubborn little ox!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Zhang Fu shook his head and couldn't help but laugh and curse. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Ultimately, it was because of them that she ended up like this.

"Mom and Dad, Ningning, why are you up so early?"

"Big brother, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"If I have something on my mind and can't sleep well, I just get up."

These words caused a moment of silence. Realizing he had said something wrong, Zhang Qi secretly pinched his hand, lowered his eyes, and chuckled as he quickly changed the subject, "It smells so good! What did you make? I'm actually a little hungry."

……

After breakfast, Zhang Ze arrived just in time, handed Wu Meng over to Hu Yingtao for care, and the three of them went out together.

"Ningning, are you sure you'll be okay on your own?"

Zhang Ze stood at the intersection watching Zhang Qi leave first to head to City Z, then turned back to look at her with some unease.

If it weren't for the fact that Tao City is a five or six-hour drive from Gu City, and that finding the Wu family would take a lot of time and the road might not be safe, I would really like to switch places with her.

"I'm just keeping watch, Brother Zhang, don't worry. Maybe I'll get nothing like you did yesterday. Besides, I brought a secret weapon."

Patting her bag, Su Ning smiled knowingly and continued, "If something really happens, who knows who might be the unlucky one."

"Alright, if you find anything, don't act rashly. We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road, Brother Zhang."

He ruffled her hair and headed to the bus station with a sense of unease.

After parting ways with him, Su Ning didn't linger and went to the address Zhang Qi had learned from following her the day before.

The person keeping watch was Peng Yuyang, the brother-in-law of Yin Sheng, the head of the Yin family. He was around thirty years old and on the surface, a good-for-nothing playboy.

However, he secretly handles many matters that the Yin family cannot handle in public, far from being an ordinary person in the eyes of outsiders. He is a very useful tool in Yin Sheng's hands.

He was also in charge of all the meetings and transactions related to the smuggling of cultural relics.

As usual, after waking up and having breakfast outside, Peng Yuyang wandered around aimlessly, and soon gathered three or five friends around him.

Following at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, Su Ning showed no sign of anxiety.

As the day passed, the group either caused trouble out of boredom or flirted with any pretty women who happened to pass by.

As night fell, Peng Yuyang, slightly drunk from his feasting and drinking with everyone, staggered into his house.

Just when she thought she had gained nothing and wasted her time, the person who was unsteady on his feet a few seconds ago quietly came out again, now dressed in different clothes and showing no signs of drunkenness.

With a surge of energy, Su Ning knew that Zi Yu's good luck was still strong this time, and she had really managed to hold onto it!

Sure enough, Peng Yuyang tried his best to avoid crowds along the way, and even covered half of his face with a big hat.

Perhaps out of caution, Peng Yuyang took a long, winding road before finally arriving at his destination.

It was only then that she learned that there was a long-abandoned dock and a dilapidated warehouse downstream of Lishui.

Upon arriving at the destination, Peng Yuyang was no longer in a hurry. He took out a cigarette from his pocket in an open space, lit it, and quietly began to puff out smoke.

As time passed, he glanced at his watch and calmly stomped on the cigarette butt he had just thrown away.

Several furtive figures appeared at the shadowy intersection.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the two of them were carrying a wooden crate and heading directly to the back of the warehouse with remarkable familiarity.

"Brother Yang, this is the last batch of goods this time, it's all here!"

"You guys have worked hard. You'll definitely get a share of the profits once the goods are sold."

"Hahaha, needless to say, Brother Yang never mistreats his brothers."

While talking, he didn't stop carrying the box into a large reed bed behind the warehouse that was taller than a person.

……

Fearing that they would be discovered and unable to follow, Suning could only remain calm and quietly wait in place.

Half an hour passed, and the people who went in came out one after another, chatting and laughing as they left.

After squatting for a while to make sure no one came back, she went back to the place where they had entered.

"It's so cold today!"

"I heard it's snowed in many surrounding areas, so it'll probably snow in the city soon too!"

"Damn it, they're off enjoying themselves while the three of us are stuck here freezing in the wind. Just thinking about it makes me freak out!"

"Hey, we're taking turns, it'll only be two nights left, just hang in there!"

There are still people guarding it?

Hearing the voices coming from behind, Su Ning, who was engrossed in her search, was startled and quickly crouched down, hiding herself completely behind a reed.
