Chapter 291 Frankness
Chapter 291 Frankness
......
"It was them, the Wang family, who killed you, so you hate them so much, right?"
Gu Changgeng's voice was very cold. When he thought of that scene, his heart ached terribly.
Shen Ning nodded, "In my previous life, Wang Baozhu took over my job, and I was forced to go to the countryside. Later... I was sold to her nephew by Wang Aihua...
I tried to run away, but my legs were broken...
In the end, I was beaten to death by them and my body was left exposed in the wilderness..."
Shen Ning clenched her fists. What happened in her previous life was like a rotten sore that could never heal. She spoke slowly and concisely...
But Gu Changgeng felt that his heart was broken. He couldn't imagine what Shen Ning had experienced in his previous life...
Gu Changgeng looked at her distressedly, but did not dare to ask any more questions. He just comforted her softly, "It's all over, Ningning...
If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it…”
Shen Ning took a deep breath and smiled casually, "It's okay, I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time. Maybe the underworld doesn't accept ghosts who died in vain.
After I died, I was in a daze and my mind was not very clear. I wandered around in the world for a few more years.
It wasn't until I saw Wang Baozhu again that I suddenly came to my senses and tried my best to attack her.
But I didn’t expect to be wrapped in the relics left by my mother, and when I opened my eyes again, I was back to before I went to the countryside…”
Gu Changgeng noticed that Shen Ning unconsciously touched the blood-colored jade bead on his wrist, and then asked, "Then...what happened just now?
How can you transform things out of thin air, and where does that clear spring come from?"
“It’s a jade bead left by my mother. It should be a space in a ring where you can store items. There is a clear spring inside.
You already know the function of that spring water..."
Gu Changgeng's throat tightened, and he suddenly grabbed Shen Ning's arm and asked, "I was seriously injured before, and you fed me spiritual spring water while I was unconscious, so I was able to wake up, right?
The tonic soup that was sent to me later also contained spiritual spring water, so I was able to recover so well, right?"
Shen Ning nodded, "Yes..."
Gu Changgeng suddenly felt his eyes a little sore. This silly girl had done so much for him, but she didn't say anything. If it weren't for the unexpected incident today, would she have planned to keep it a secret from him forever...
But he was not good at speaking. He stared at Shen Ning for a long time and held her in his arms. "Ningning, keep this to yourself from now on. Unless it concerns your own life,
Otherwise, don’t show it in front of others, and don’t tell anyone about it anymore.”
Shen Ning nodded slightly, but Gu Changgeng was still dissatisfied. He straightened her body, stared into her eyes, and warned her word by word, "No matter who asks, you must not admit your secrets, and don't reveal them in front of others. Remember!"
Shen Ning nodded immediately. If it weren't for the life-and-death situation today, she would never reveal the secret of the space.
Gu Changgeng saw Shen Ning's serious expression and knew that she was not a reckless person. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Besides me, who else knows?"
"No, I kept it well hidden and never told anyone..."
Gu Changgeng's heart was still tense when he heard Shen Ning muttering, "But... Wang Baozhu might know..."
Gu Changgeng's nerves immediately tensed up, and Shen Ning explained, "Wang Baozhu's style of doing things is very different from before. I suspect she may have been reborn.
This jade bead was snatched away by her in the previous life, but I don’t know whether she has figured out the secret of this jade bead. Of course, this is just my guess…”
Gu Changgeng's expression was very solemn. "I understand. Before this matter is resolved, you cannot leave anyone by your side, and you are not allowed to be alone. Everything is based on your safety..."
......
On the other side, just as Gu Jichuan returned home, Mao Lin came to greet him, "How is it, does Chang Geng's girlfriend like the gift you sent? Did she accept it?"
Gu Jichuan chuckled, "Of course I like it, this thing was carefully selected by you and me.
Besides, a gift from an elder cannot be declined…”
Mao Lin chuckled, "I'm glad you like it. I hope you didn't let it slip.
I just help you guys out because I see that you guys don’t understand these things. If Chang Geng knew about this, he might get angry again. I’ve failed you. That’s not good…”
Gu Jichuan hugged his beloved wife distressedly, "Don't worry, I didn't say it. I know I have wronged you over the years..."
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Gu Jichuan's words, "Who is it? Why are you knocking so urgently? What's the matter?"
When Gu Jichuan opened the door, he saw two fully armed civil servants standing outside, followed by several people carrying heavy machines. Everyone was wearing protective clothing, covering themselves tightly...
Gu Jichuan was a little dazed. When Mao Lin saw this scene, she was so scared that her legs went weak and her face changed drastically.
How...how is this possible? Wasn't this thing just sent out? How did it get exposed?
Gu Jichuan frowned, "What's going on?"
The leading staff member stepped forward and said, "Minister Gu, radioactive substances were detected in the Eight Treasure Compass that you gave to Comrade Shen Ning.
We are going to investigate you according to the law, and we ask for your cooperation..."
Gu Jichuan's face darkened instantly. "What? Radioactive material? This... How is this possible?"
One of the staff members who was somewhat acquainted with Gu Jichuan said, "This kind of thing is strictly controlled and generally unlikely to be leaked.
At present, we cannot rule out the possibility of malicious deployment by enemy agents. This case is still under investigation. You should go to the hospital for a physical examination first, and you will have to cooperate with the questioning later..."
