Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

The dim room was filled with a foul smell. The man in the corner was tied up like a crab and could only lie on the ground.

Two waiters came in, covering their noses, walked quickly to the man, and each of them picked up the man and walked out.

As the night deepened, Gouyue Tower had long been closed, but the backyard was still brightly lit.

Yan Sheng also raised his hand and leaned sideways on the stone table, while Song Xu beside him held Lihua and slowly combed her fur.

After all, it is autumn, and the night wind carries a hint of chill.

Being thrown onto the cold bluestone ground, Ning Zhen's dizzy mind finally came to.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the two people sitting in front of him. His dry and cracked lips trembled and uttered two vague words.
".Ning Xu."

Yan Sheng also snorted softly, stood up, and walked lightly to Ning Zhen.

The tip of his shoe lightly lifted up Ning Zhen's embarrassed face, and Yan Sheng also looked down at him and sneered.
"Ning Zhen, a capable subordinate of Wulin leader Ning Xiong. Tell me, what are you doing in Wuyang Town?"

Ning Zhen stared at the strange woman in front of her with wide eyes. She wanted to struggle but she was powerless. Her futile struggle only made the rough rope tighter and tighter around her body.

"say."
Yan Shengyi kicked the man's shoulder hard with his toes, and the man was thrown face up.

Ning Zhen kept her mouth shut and said nothing, but couldn't help looking in the direction of Song Xu. However, Yan Shengyi had already noticed and blocked Song Xu completely.

"You don't have to say it, waiter, bring me my dagger."
Raising his hand to call a waiter, Yan Shengyi squatted directly in front of Ning Zhen, pinched his nose with some disgust, and looked at his face with a critical eye.

Ning Zhen felt panic surge in his heart at that look. He swallowed the non-existent saliva, but still forced himself not to speak.

The waiter handed the dagger to Yan Shengyi with both hands. The sharp and bright blade reflected a cold white light under the illumination of the surrounding fire.

With a casual effort, he inserted the dagger into the gap between the bluestone bricks. The half-finger-wide blade was right next to Ning Zhen's face. The wind created by the blade cut off a section of his messy hair, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

But Yan Shengyi still looked at her with a smile and said softly:
"Tell the truth or die, choose one."

She has a beautiful smile but cold eyes. The woman in front of him is the King of Hell who is coming to take his life.

Ning Zhen's pupils constricted, and his haggard and embarrassed face suddenly looked gray.

"Ok?"
Yan Sheng also drew out the dagger, flicked it with his fingers, and the handle jumped lightly in his hand. The cold blade light tore at Ning Zhen's face, carrying the threat of death.

"Sound."
Song Xu walked over with the cat in her arms, her eyes casually sweeping across the man's pale and desperate face, then paused at Yan Shengyi's hand that was playing with the knife, before looking at Yan Shengyi.

"No need to ask, Ning Xiong must have sent him to find out about me."

The dark eyes looked even deeper in the thick night. Song Xu tilted his head and said casually:
"There's no point in keeping this person. Why not just get rid of him? What do you think, Shengsheng?"

"Okay."
Yan Sheng also smiled brightly, stood up neatly, put the short knife behind him, waved to the waiters standing around, kicked Ning Zhen away, and said nonchalantly:
"Drag the man down to the bottom of the cliff and bury him alive."

"Got it!"
The waiters who received the order were eager to fight and went forward to pick up the man. Ning Zhen looked at the cold expressions of the two men and realized that they were serious. He hesitated for a while, but the desire to survive finally overcame his loyalty to Ning Xiong.

When he was being escorted out of the side door, he quickly spoke out and shouted desperately:
"Ms. Ning Xu, I'll tell you, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

Hearing Ning Zhen's shout, Yan Sheng also smiled, gave Song Xu a pair of thumbs up, and then said softly:
"Bring people here."

The waiter brought the man over and threw him to the ground with a "plop". He then lay there like a crab.

Yan Shengyi folded his hands and looked at him coldly, "Go ahead."

Ning Zhen took several breaths with great effort before looking up at the two of them. She shrank her head in fear and said:
"Ms. Ning, she hasn't returned since she left on the mission. The leader didn't pay much attention to it at first, until someone sent him a letter of protest."

He swallowed hard, his dry throat seemed to be torn, swallowed down the bitter taste, and said:
"The leader then realized that the young lady's life or death was uncertain, so he sent his subordinates to look for her."

Song Xu listened without saying anything.
The reason why Ning Xiong sent Ning Zhen to find the original owner was because he didn't believe that the original owner would die, and he was reluctant to part with the sharp knife in his hand. As for his worry about the original owner, I'm afraid he didn't even have a little worry.

Yan Sheng was not easy to fool, he gently kicked Ning Zhen's head with the tip of his shoe and said bluntly:
"Go on, tell me how you found this place?"

Ning Zhen tilted her head and continued:
"I, I got the news by lurking beside the enemy. Then I saw your jade pendant at the place where you were injured and fell into the water, but I didn't see anyone. So I thought it was not a body, but maybe the young lady was seriously injured and floated down the river. That's why I found my way here."

Song Xu handed the cat to Yan Shengyi's arms, then looked at Ning Zhen expressionlessly.
"Does anyone else know about your coming here?"

"No, no, absolutely not."
Ning Zhen shook her head desperately and assured her again and again: "Miss, please believe me. I came here on impulse and did not inform the leader. Everything I said is true! Miss, please spare my life for the sake of the leader!"

"Spare your life? That's wishful thinking!"
Yan Shengyi held the cat in his hands, stepped forward and kicked the man, knocking him over.
"Let me ask you, where is Ah Xu's jade pendant?"

Song Xu tilted his head and looked at her in surprise, and saw that she was full of anger, but it was just for a jade pendant.

Song Xu, who knew her well, of course knew why she was so angry. But now that she thought about it, she and Shengsheng had known each other for so long in this world, but she seemed to have never given her a gift. It was such a mistake.

The jade pendant of the original owner was just a symbol of the Ning family's identity. Moreover, in memory, the jade pendant had been broken when the original owner was fighting with his opponent.

But even if the jade pendant was not broken, Song Xu didn't want to give such a thing to Yan Shengyi. But what should he give?

Yan Shengyi did not notice that Song Xu beside him had been distracted for a long time. His beautiful eyes were shining coldly at this time, staring at Ning Zhen.

Ning Zhen lay on the ground with her back facing up, wanting to cry but unable to cry. Her hands and feet were bound so tightly by thick ropes that she had no strength at all and could only lie in this uncomfortable position.

Receiving Yan Shengyi's glare, he sighed resignedly and said:
"The young lady's jade pendant has been broken, and I didn't pick it up."

Hearing this, Yan Shengyi's eyes turned even colder. Song Xu, who had come to his senses, pulled her and said softly:
"Forget it, Shengsheng. That jade pendant is not a good thing. Let's let him go today and lock him up in the back."

"it is good."
Yan Shengyi looked at Song Xu's serious eyes, and finally nodded and agreed.
