Chapter 1815 - 1815 Old Liang Family Residence, the Victim

1815 Old Liang Family Residence, the Victim

The game ended, and the red handkerchief was still in Lu Ningwens hand. Lu Ningwens mind went blank.

Except for Chi Shuyan, everyone looked at each other and heaved sighs of relief. Du Zhong stared at the red handkerchief in Lu Ningwens hand and heaved a sigh of relief. That had been close this handkerchief might have fallen into his hands.

Fortunately, his luck was better than Lu Ningwens.

Du Zhong was glad, and his face flushed red with excitement.

The others were happy and relieved, but some couldnt be happy, like Qi Hao, Fang Yu and Lu Wenjing, who were on good terms with Lu Ningwen. Lu Wenjing wanted to say something to Lu Ningwen, but didnt know what.

As for Fang Yu, he couldnt believe that Lu Ningwen would be so unlucky. He stared at the red handkerchief in Lu Ningwens hand, and his left eyelid twitched. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

Although he and Lu Ningwen only had an average relations.h.i.+p before this, the two of them had been practically inseparable these past few days, and their relations.h.i.+p had improved steadily. At the thought that something might happen to Lu Ningwen tonight, how could Fang Yu sit still?

Qi Hao also couldnt sit still, and he hurriedly looked at his sister-in-law. Unfortunately, his sister-in-law didnt say a word, so he couldnt help but feel a little anxious.

At that moment, Du Zhong said to Director Huang, Director Huang, can everyone go back to their rooms now that the game is over?

Director Huang was stunned for a moment and was about to say yes, when Du Zhong quickly turned to ask the Chi girl instead.

She didnt have a good impression of Du Zhong, but as the saying went, one shouldnt slap a laughing face. She nodded indifferently and said, Of course!

Du Zhong actually wanted to curry favor with Celestial Master Chi, but unfortunately, her face was too cold and she didnt look like she was in the mood to chat. Du Zhong couldnt step forward, for fear that he would offend her again.

Besides, he was really a little tired now. He thanked her gratefully and immediately turned around to go back to his room. However, thinking about how strange this place was, he couldnt help but be a little afraid, and he called Lu Wenjing and Song Yanru to go along.

It wasnt that Song Yanru didnt want to curry favor with Celestial Master Chi, but there were too many people around, and there were some things that werent good to say, so she could only go back with Du Zhong.

In short, even if something really happened tonight, it wouldnt be to her. Thinking this, she heaved a sigh of relief.

When they all went back to their rooms, only Chi Shuyan, Qi Hao, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were left in the courtyard. Fang Yu really couldnt help but burst into tears. He said anxiously, Celestial Master Celestial Master Chi, nothing will happen to my Brother Lu tonight, right?

Thinking of what happened to He Liuqing in the morning, Fang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Fang Yu wasnt the only one who felt cold all over. No matter how calm Lu Ningwen was, he couldnt calm down at that moment. His face was filled with panic and fear. His fingers tightened around the red handkerchief. He pursed his lips tightly and wanted to say something, but he couldnt utter a word for a long time. As time pa.s.sed, his face grew paler and his eyes turned red. He swayed, and Qi Hao and Fang Yu hurriedly supported him.

Qi Hao really couldnt help but comfort Lu Ningwen as he hurriedly asked his sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, will Brother Lu be fine?

Sister-in-law, Brother Lu will definitely be fine, right? Sister-in-law, youre especially capable and youve killed dozens or hundreds of monsters. Why dont we let Brother Lu stay in our room tonight? Sister-in-law? Qi Hao probed anxiously, and the corners of Chi Shuyans mouth twitched.

Qi Haos words ignited some hope in Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen, and they looked at her expectantly and carefully. Chi Shuyan didnt keep them in suspense and refused. Men and women are different. Im afraid Mr. Lu cant stay in our room.

Qi Hao obviously didnt expect his sister-in-law to refuse so decisively. If it were any other time, he definitely wouldnt let another man spend the night in the same room as his sister-in-law. If his cousin found out, wouldnt he be courting death?

But this was a matter of life and death, and Qi Hao didnt think much of it. He had a good impression of Lu Ningwen, so he naturally couldnt bear to watch something happen to him. Qi Hao hurriedly pleaded, Sister-in-law, I beg you, can Brother Lu sleep on the couch in our room? Sister-in-law, Brother Lu is really good. Hes really good. Sister-in-law, can you agree?

As soon as Qi Hao finished speaking, Fang Yu immediately pleaded, Celestial Master Chi, Brother Qi is right. Ningwen can sleep in the living room. Ningwen is especially, especially good!

Lu Ningwen didnt show it on the surface, but he actually had a lot of self-esteem. At that moment, he wasnt willing to beg or have someone humbly beg for him. He did want to refuse, but when he thought of He Liuqings tragic death, he couldnt say a word, and his face grew even more helpless, stiff and desperate.

Chi Shuyans head hurt a little when she saw Haozi and Fang Yu begging her. She was also a bit surprised that Haozi, who had only known Lu Ningwen for a few days, could beg her so humbly on his behalf; it could be seen how charismatic Lu Ningwen was.

Seeing that Haozi was about to cry if she didnt agree, she hurriedly said, Mr. Lu will be fine tonight. What are you begging me for?

As soon as she said that, everyone thought they had misheard and were stupefied and in disbelief. Halfway through his pleading, Qi Hao stuttered and hurriedly corrected himself. Sister Sister-in-law, what did you say?

In particular, Lu Ningwens eyes turned red when he heard this. He gritted his teeth in disbelief and confusion.

Chi Shuyan took in their expressions, and her lips curved up in a gentle smile. Seeing that Lu Ningwens face was still stiff, she also knew that the other party had probably misunderstood her refusal just now. It was rare for her to be so patient as she explained to the other party, Its fine; nothing will happen to Mr. Lu tonight, dont worry. As for the reason why we cant stay together, its indeed because men and women are different; plus, Im married. Of course, it would be different if it were a special situation, but Mr. Lu will be fine tonight, so theres no need for him to stay with us. Okay, its about time. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest early!
