Chapter 20#
Western-style Building#
Ye Sheng’s attention was originally focused on the sudden bloody smell. Hearing Ning Weichen’s words, his brain almost didn’t turn around.
What does it mean who is his target tonight? He has no target tonight. He was just bored and wanted Wang Gaoyang and the other two to suffer the consequences of their own actions. But now he is too lazy to pay attention to those three people.
Ye Sheng threw the blue pill in his hand to Ning Weichen, his tone indifferent and disgusted: “Picked it up casually, here you go, do you want it?”
The transparent glass-like pill looked like the crystal blue hard candy on the market, drawing a blue stream of light in the air.
Ning Weichen reached out, took the Sapphire, thought for a while and smiled: “Ye Sheng, although I said I like everything you give me, giving me an aphrodisiac so bluntly really makes it easy for me to misunderstand.”
Ye Sheng rolled his eyes: “Ning Weichen, what can you get by taking advantage verbally?”
Ning Weichen chuckled and said lazily: “I don’t know either.”
Ye Sheng said: “Something happened in this Western-style building.”
He smelled that strange bloody smell, but didn’t want to intervene. Last time on the train it was a last resort, but now in the Qin family, it’s not his turn to be the savior.
“Hurry up and contact your butler or the Unnatural Bureau to come and deal with it.”
Ye Sheng pointed to the red Western-style building hidden by trees and wild vines in front, and said: “There are hundreds of people at this banquet. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will be.”
Ning Weichen only glanced at the front and withdrew his gaze, saying honestly: “Butler Li has already left first. As for the Unnatural Bureau, you overestimate my ability too much, I can’t invite them.”
Ye Sheng frowned: “There is a heresy here, won’t they come to deal with it?”
Ning Weichen: “The Unnatural Bureau only listens to Tianshu. They will only be dispatched when Tianshu detects excessively high supernatural values and issues an alarm. There are various heresies in every corner of the city. If they are dispatched for everything, there won’t be enough executors at all.”
Ye Sheng couldn’t believe it: “Do they ignore it even if people die?”
Ning Weichen said: “Low-level heresies generally can’t kill people.”
Ye Sheng was stunned.
Generally can’t kill people, what about special circumstances?
He suddenly thought of when he knocked down the two bodyguards. One’s arm was broken by him, and the other was also made difficult to walk by him. The two lost their ability to resist like this, lying in front of this weird and cold Western-style building.
He frowned, suppressing the irritability and disgust in his heart. He wanted to take revenge on those people, but didn’t want his hands to be stained with human lives, not even indirectly. Not letting his hands be stained with blood was a principle he had adhered to since childhood. It seemed that in this way, he could always stay awake in Yin Mountain and not be assimilated by sin.
Ye Sheng ignored Ning Weichen and walked forward.
Ning Weichen asked in confusion: “Didn’t something happen ahead? Why are you still going forward?”
“I’m happy to.” Ye Sheng said coldly: “If you are afraid of ghosts, don’t follow me.”
Ning Weichen said “Wow”, and caught up in a few steps.
The moonlight passed through the forest leaves, and the light and shadow shone half-bright and half-dark on his smiling face.
Ning Weichen’s eyes seemed to contain stars, and his smile was pure and serious: “But compared to being afraid of ghosts, I am more afraid of you going deep into danger alone.”
Ye Sheng just wanted to say, didn’t you pitifully say that you failed your primary mission before? What’s the use of you following.
But thinking that Ning Weichen’s primary mission was the A-level fetus girl, Ye Sheng swallowed these words back.
Ye Sheng walked two steps and also found something wrong.
“Ning Weichen, Qin Liushuang is your aunt. Shouldn’t you be responsible for dealing with the heresy that appeared at her birthday banquet?”
Ning Weichen smiled and said: “Oh, are you talking about my aunt whom I only met once?”
Ye Sheng: “…” Forget it.
Ye Sheng walked forward, walked to the original place, and found that the two bodyguards were gone. There were two obvious drag marks on the ground, leading to that lifeless Western-style building.
The dead branches and trunks were stepped on, leaving a string of footprints.
Not like a human, more like a beast.
But after Ye Sheng squatted down to look, he was horrified for a moment.
No, it’s a human! It’s a human crawling on all fours!
The door of the Western-style building was not locked, half open and half closed. It was rarely visited here, and the Qin family almost classified this place as a forbidden area. Few people would come to this side of the lake, so the walls of the Western-style building were covered with various vines, and the gaps in the steps were also full of moss.
Every window was painted black and sealed. You simply don’t know what is standing by the window in the house looking at you.
Ye Sheng asked: “Do you know who lived in this building before?”
Ning Weichen said lightly: “The old man of the Qin family. But he moved out thirty years ago.”
Ye Sheng: “Did he live here alone before?”
Ning Weichen smiled and said: “I don’t know about this.”
Ye Sheng didn’t know what kind of monster was in the building, but since the Unnatural Bureau was not alarmed, it meant it was a low-level heresy. He got up and walked inside.
Ning Weichen watched this scene with interest, but still kindly reached out to hold him, smiled brightly and said: “Believe it or not, once you go in, your stable life rhythm will completely collapse.”
Ye Sheng asked back: “If I don’t go in, won’t my life rhythm collapse?”
If those two bodyguards died here, everyone saw him walking to this side of the lake at that time. No matter what, he would be taken for investigation.
Ning Weichen let go of his hand obediently.
Ye Sheng turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked inside following the footprints on the ground. These footprints were very small, like a child who just learned to crawl, dark, one after another, densely packed.
Not just one, but many children. They worked together to drag the two bodyguards in.
Ye Sheng pushed open this old door, and dust fell rustlingly with the creaking sound. The strong light of the flashlight shone on a painting standing on the wall in the center of the hall. Rich people always become superstitious about Feng Shui when they get old, and put everything at home, but this was the first time Ye Sheng saw someone hanging a portrait of Guanyin Sending Children on the wall.
The Guanyin in the portrait held a pure vase in one hand and a baby in the other, with cinnabar between the eyebrows, smiling compassionately.
Ye Sheng just felt weird.
The Qin family’s offspring were not so thin that they needed to believe in Guanyin Sending Children.
On the contrary, Old Master Qin’s generation had seven brothers and sisters. Even Old Master Qin himself got married, divorced, and remarried successively, married five wives, and left countless offspring.
The Qin family is huge, and the stories of power struggles within the wealthy family can be gossiped about for three days and three nights in Huaicheng.
“Is this Guanyin Sending Children?” Ye Sheng was afraid that he hadn’t seen the collections of rich families, so he specifically asked Ning Weichen.
Ning Weichen followed him in and glanced at the painting on the wall: “Mn.”
Ye Sheng nodded, shone the light on the ground, and found that the black footprints disappeared after he entered this Western-style house.
The Western-style building where Old Master Qin lived before was luxuriously decorated and occupied a wide area. It had four floors vertically, and the horizontal size was unknown.
Time was tight, Ye Sheng said in a deep voice: “Ning Weichen, help me find two people.”
Ning Weichen was ordered to do things for the first time, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled and said: “You say.”
Ye Sheng said: “Find two bodyguards, they were dragged in by the heresy.”
Ning Weichen asked casually: “What are they to you.”
Ye Sheng said coldly: “Enemies.”
“The enemies who fed you Sapphire?”
Ye Sheng was stunned, frowned and didn’t speak.
Ning Weichen expected it but still laughed out loud. He raised his hand holding the blue pill, the smile in his peach blossom eyes floating and sinking with frost: “Are you sure you want me to help find them?”
“Brother, they tried to give you this kind of medicine. I’m very angry. Falling into my hands might be worse than dying in the belly of a heresy.”
Ye Sheng didn’t even think about it: “Then kill them after you find them.” He just didn’t want to be directly or indirectly stained with human lives, which didn’t mean he really had much compassion for his enemies.
Ning Weichen smiled lightly and gave a “Mn”.
Ye Sheng said: “You look in the rooms on the first floor, I’ll go upstairs.”
Ning Weichen said in the darkness: “Can’t I look with you?”
Ye Sheng: “It’s faster to look separately.”
Ning Weichen said seemingly helplessly: “Okay.”
Ye Sheng took his phone and walked directly upstairs. He was looking down at the stairs the whole time.
On the layers of old bricks, some black footprints appeared occasionally.
Two young strong men were dragged in all the way, inevitably leaving some dirt and filth.
But this house was too old. No one had lived in it for thirty years, and the dust was thick.
Ye Sheng couldn’t distinguish what was from before and what was from now.
After glancing casually a few times, he didn’t look anymore, but searched for Old Master Qin’s personal information on his phone.
He was not interested in the Qin family before coming here. All the news he knew was forced into him by Huang Yiyue in the car.
He opened his phone and found that Old Master Qin’s romantic history was quite rich. Just the romantic history alone could support the sky of the Huaicheng entertainment gossip forum.
He was a playboy when he was young, lingering in sensual places every day. Later, forced by his family to marry a lady from a prominent family, he restrained himself a little. As a result, less than two years later, the two divorced without leaving a child. That lady’s family was in a coastal island city, far away from Huaicheng. The news was blocked, and the reason for the divorce had always been a mystery.
Then came Old Master Qin’s second wife. Old Master Qin’s second wife was a charming little star, but less than a year after they got married, the little star passed away. Died on… the delivery bed.
Ye Sheng was stunned and found that this little star died in Cheng’en Gynecological Hospital.
Cheng’en Gynecological Hospital. When he was checking the information of the Xie family, he learned that nearly five private hospitals in Huaicheng were controlled by the Xie family.
If he remembered correctly, this Cheng’en Gynecological Hospital was the property of the Xie family.
The news on the Internet was that the little star died of amniotic fluid embolism. During delivery, amniotic fluid entered the blood circulation, the onset was sudden and preventable.
Afterwards, Cheng’en Hospital paid a large sum of money to the little star’s family, but a private hospital having such an incident, and the deceased was a VIP guest, its reputation among the people dropped steadily, and it closed down within a few years.
Ye Sheng frowned.
Don’t know why, he had a bad premonition when he saw Cheng’en Gynecological Hospital.
That little star was pregnant with Old Master Qin’s first child and died in the Xie family’s hospital. The first child died with the mother like this, and the Qin family actually didn’t trouble the Xie family.
Too strange.
