Chapter 574 The building is empty
Gu Yuanqiong followed Ning Fengzhe's instructions and pretended to have dinner first and then set off. During the journey, he said goodbye to Ning Yunxi in code, and then knocked her out with just the right amount of force.
In her sleep, Ning Yunxi dreamed that Gu Yuanqiong took off his mask. Before she could see his appearance clearly, the dream turned pitch black.
When she woke up, Chongyixuan was silent, as if she was the only one left.
"Big brother? Big brother!"
She called out softly or shouted loudly, but Gu Yuanqiong did not respond.
Suddenly she felt panicky, she sat up, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and wanted to go find her older brother.
At this time, Ning Fengzhe ran in in panic.
"Xi'er, are you okay?"
Gu Yuanqiong's words were still ringing in her ears. Ning Yunxi subconsciously shrank back in fear and moved away from Ning Fengzhe.
"Big brother, you...how did you know I was here?"
"What do you want to do?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were like water, looking at you intently.
"Xi'er, don't be afraid. I tried my best to find you."
"You know, my brother has been looking for you for so long that he has lost his appetite and gradually became thinner. Fortunately, God helps those who work hard."
"I already know what happened in the past few days."
"You misunderstood me because you met a liar. I understand and I don't blame you."
Before she could feel sorry for her brother, Ning Yunxi was shocked and filled with disbelief when she heard the bad news.
"What? Liar?"
Ning Fengzhe told the truth in a firm and resolute voice.
"He lied and said that I hurt you. In fact, he hired someone to pretend to be me, lured you into the trap, and gained your trust by pretending to have saved your life."
Ning Yunxi shook her head, unable to bear it for a moment.
"No...why would he bully me?"
Seeing that his sister trusted others but not him, Ning Fengzhe felt discouraged and lost, and expressed some true feelings.
"Xi'er, you are so cold-hearted. I have treated you with such kindness for so many years, is your affection not as good as that of a person I met by chance for a few days?"
"If he didn't bully you, then I was bullying you?"
Hearing the infinite grief implied in his words, Ning Yunxi couldn't bear it and hurried to explain.
"Big brother, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"I want to ask, how do you know that?"
Ning Fengzhe's acting expression was just right, without a trace of guilt or cowardice.
"This man is so wise that I can't see through him."
"At first, when I found out where you were, I thought he had saved you. It wasn't until I heard the conversation between the master and the servant that I realized you were trapped."
The change happened so suddenly that Ning Yunxi couldn't accept it at all.
"But I have nothing, what's his purpose?"
Ning Fengzhe had already thought of his words, and he handled the situation with ease and without any panic.
"It's for wealth."
"You are going to give him the Penglai Apricot Jade, right?"
Ning Yunxi was in a panic. She took out the jade lock and purse and showed them to him.
“We give gifts to each other.”
"Brother, please look, this is the heart-shaped jade locket he gave me."
"Besides, there is also a gift for meeting you. Look, it's a lot of silver."
"He's definitely not after money."
Gu Yuanqiong's provocation was right before his eyes, but Ning Fengzhe suppressed his anger and calmly implemented his plan.
"They're all fake, can't you see?"
When Ning Yunxi first heard it, she didn't understand it at all.
"These things can be faked?"
Ning Fengzhe looked worried and spoke sorrowfully, giving earnest advice.
"Anything can be faked, my silly sister."
"If he doesn't create something fake, how can he get your treasure?"
What came to mind was the relaxing and comfortable time they had spent together over the past few days. Ning Yunxi was sad and didn't want to leave.
"Where is he now? I will ask him myself."
Ning Fengzhe's tenderness exudes a sense of justice.
"I have written a complaint and sent it to the Yinsitai. Mr. Xie, the Yinsi Zhongcheng, is in charge of hearing this case."
"All criminals, escort them to Yin Sitai for trial. I just sent you all off respectfully."
Ning Yunxi was startled.
"Yin Sitai?"
"Is he from an aristocratic family?"
Ning Fengzhe told the story as if it were true and spoke in a relaxed manner.
"Well, I didn't know. First I reported it to Tinghetai, and then I received their reply, saying that I should report it to Yinsitai."
Ning Yunxi was reluctant to leave and couldn't help but show concern.
"What's his name and where does he live?"
Ning Fengzhe showed some helplessness.
"I didn't ask his name, I just heard that his father was a local official."
Ning Yunxi made a quick decision.
"I'll go to Yinsitai and ask."
Ning Fengzhe spoke out to stop them with convincing arguments.
"I filed a lawsuit on the grounds that my personal belongings were lost, so I am the victim."
"You are neither a relative nor a victim, so why would you care? I guess you can't even get through the gate of Yinsitai."
Ning Yunxi had no choice but to sit back on the edge of the bed. The curtains were sparse, and she seemed lonely.
"Then please help me ask..."
Hearing her constant words of nostalgia, Ning Fengzhe could no longer contain his anger and interrupted her angrily.
"Xier!"
"He's nothing but a liar, what's there for you to miss?"
"Will you be satisfied only if I leave Beijing with him, become his accomplice, and do fraud together with him?"
The mood was like a gust of wind and long rain, which suddenly swept over Ning Yunxi, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"me……"
Ning Fengzhe felt extremely jealous when he saw this.
"Why are you crying?"
"What can he do when I'm here?"
"You only care about him, not me?"
"Don't forget your last name. Think carefully about who your oldest brother is."
Ning Yunxi stood up silently and knelt heavily.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Afraid of hurting his sister's knees, Ning Fengzhe quickly caught her, but he was exhausted from being hungry for days and his hands were dropped to the ground by her knees.
There was a sharp pain, as strong as thunder, and he cried out in pain.
"what!"
Ning Yunxi reacted quickly, took a half step back, leaned over, held his hands, and comforted them gently.
"Brother, are you okay?"
She was extremely worried and cast a warm look at him from time to time. Ning Fengzhe's anger completely disappeared, leaving only a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.
"If you're okay, I'm okay."
"Have you ever comforted that big brother like this?"
Ning Yunxi answered honestly.
"Never."
There was a sweet taste on Ning Fengzhe's lips, and in an instant, it filled his entire heart.
"Xi'er is so good."
"Brother knows I was wrong. I shouldn't have gotten angry a few days ago, and I shouldn't have said those words to you. Are you willing to forgive me?"
Ning Yunxi felt deeply guilty as she gradually remembered her elder brother's love for her.
"My brother did nothing wrong. It's all my fault. I only cared about my mother's feelings and not you."
"I beg you, big brother, to forgive me."
Ning Fengzhe just smiled and passed it off.
"Xi'er did nothing wrong, no need to apologize."
Thinking about what Gu Yuanqiong said, "We siblings have a much closer relationship than you siblings," he came up with an idea.
"This is all a test. After going through this, we will definitely be more friendly and respectful to each other than before, and even slowly become famous all over the world. Let's work hard together and become a pair of brother and sister praised by the world, okay?"
First, spread rumors to boost momentum, then use strategies to solidify the situation. Ning Fengzhe secretly made up his mind to fight back against Gu Yuanqiong and would not stop until he was furious.
Ning Yunxi was unaware and nodded in agreement.
"it is good."
Ning Fengzhe instructed softly.
"Give me all the jade lock and silver. They are evidence. I will send them to Yin Sitai."
Ning Yunxi handed it over respectfully.
"Yes."
