would have likely provoked public outrage for abandoning such an adorable girl.Seeing Wang Xiaoya crying more and more sadly, Xia Tian spoke again: "Ah, considering your earnest desire to be my wife,...Chapter 538: The Woman in the Gauze Curtain - Wuyou Chinese Network

"It's really that simple" Zhang Dan was a bit surprised.

"Miss Zhang, this matter wasn't complex to begin with. However, since you're an underling of Liang Yong and also Ning Jie's friend, I'm sure you are well aware of the current situation. Do you think there's anything exaggerated in what I said" Song Weimin spoke leisurely.

"Well, there isn't much that's exaggerated." Zhang Dan gave a forced smile; this person truly lived up to his reputation as a policeman, knowing everything about her too clearly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Dan couldn't help but ask again: "That is, Officer Song, you seem like just an ordinary cop. Liang Yong has power and influence, so how can you guarantee that Ning Jie will be safe"

"I dare to say this because I have the confidence to do it. Although Liang Yong has some money, in front of our Song family, their Liang family is nothing worth mentioning." A hint of disdain was evident in Song Weimin's tone as he said, "As for whether you believe me or not, that's up to you guys. I won't explain too much. You can get off the car now, but what will happen after getting off is clear to both of you. And if Ning Jie agrees to meet that person, I think you'll at least have a chance of survival. So, I advise you two to take this gamble, bet on my ability."

Zhang Dan leaned over to Ning Jie's ear and said softly, "I think what he said makes sense. Why don't we take a chance"

Ning Jie pondered for a moment before nodding her head. She had no real choice left; she might as well go see the person that Song Weimin mentioned. Her luck was already bad enough, could it possibly get worse

Seeing Ning Jie finally agree, Song Weimin heaved a small sigh of relief. If Ning Jie truly refused to go, he would have no choice but to resort to more forceful measures.

More than half an hour later, when Zhang Dan and Ning Jie saw the vast expanse of villas in front of them, they were already largely convinced by Song Weimin's words. Although that Liang Yong seemed to possess a few billion yuan worth of assets, they believed that just the area of villas they could see was worth more than all of Liang Yong’s wealth combined. It appeared that this Song Weimin really did have something to his name.

In the end, Zhang Dan stayed in one of the villas where someone from the Song family took care of her, while Ning Jie walked several kilometers under Song Weimin's guidance before arriving at a place somewhat incongruous with the villa complex: a row of bungalows and a large yard. The yard was very spacious, almost devoid of any objects.

"Miss, I have brought the person you wish to see," said Song Weimin as he approached one of the rooms' doors respectfully.

Seeing Song Weimin's respectful manner, Ning Jie found it rather strange. Who was inside

Suddenly, a cold yet incredibly pleasant voice came from within: "Let her in."

"Yes, miss," replied Song Weimin. He then turned to look at Ning Jie and said, "You can enter through that door."

“Oh, okay.” After a brief hesitation, she walked towards the door. However, for some reason, she felt an eerie chill, finding the atmosphere here unsettling, especially given how late it was, making her feel like she was in a horror movie.

The moment she stepped inside, she immediately felt a cold breeze hit her face. Even though it was still quite warm in Beijing in September, this place was surprisingly chilly, which struck her as odd. Ning Jie even had the urge to turn and run away.

Light suddenly filled the room as a lamp flickered on, but what made Ning Jie even more bewildered was that it was an oil lamp! In this day and age, who still used oil lamps

However, this oil lamp allowed Ning Jie to immediately see the situation inside the room. She saw a bed covered with a gauze canopy, and within it, she could vaguely make out someone sitting there, though she couldn’t clearly distinguish their appearance.

Suddenly, a black ribbon shot out from under the canopy and wrapped around Ning Jie's slender waist.

"Ah!" Ning Jie cried out in alarm, then found herself floating up into the air. The next moment, she realized that she was already sitting on the bed.

A delicate arm as white as jade suddenly extended to grasp Ning Jie’s hand; she felt a chill for an instant, but then the grip loosened and the hand withdrew. Simultaneously, a voice rang in her ear: "It's indeed spiritual energy!"

"What is spiritual energy" Ning Jie asked instinctively.

However, the woman under the canopy did not answer her question but continued to ask, "What’s your name"

"My name is Ning Jie." Ning Jie replied. For some reason, she found herself not wanting to defy this woman's words, so there was no hesitation in her answer.

"Do you know Xia Tian" the woman behind the gauze asked again.

"Yes, I do," Ning Jie answered once more.

"Xia Tian treated you today. Tell me everything about what happened then; be as detailed as possible." The woman continued to ask.

Ning Jie nodded and proceeded to recount the entire incident in detail, including all that she was aware of, such as the energy that had entered her body and the black sludge on her skin—she did not hide anything.

The woman behind the gauze listened quietly to Ning Jie's narrative. Although she couldn't see her expression, Ning Jie believed that the person inside was listening intently. She just didn’t understand why this woman was so interested in this matter. But there was one thing that Ning Jie had confirmed; being sought out by this woman was somehow related to that detestable Xia Tian.

"That damn guy is nothing but a curse!" Ning Jie thought to herself. Before she met Xia Tian, although she was unlucky, her life was still relatively stable without any major incidents. But since meeting Xia Tian, her life had become chaotic. Even though she has now become a beauty, it seems that she's even more unlucky than before.

After listening to Ning Jie's narration, the woman under the gauze curtain fell silent for quite some time, as if pondering over something.

Just when Ning Jie couldn't help but want to ask a question, the woman behind the gauze spoke again. However, she wasn't talking to Ning Jie; instead, she was muttering to herself in an odd voice: "I understand now, it's like this, no wonder, no wonder Yue Qingya would..."

The voice grew softer and softer until there was nothing left but silence, leaving Ning Jie utterly confused about what the words meant.

"Do you know why you suddenly became so strong" At that moment, the woman behind the gauze raised her voice to ask Ning Jie.

Ning Jie shook her head: "I don't know."ds the group of people from the Elite Club."Come on, come on, follow Big Brother Superman! After we win the game, we can split up the girls!" A group of guys without wives immediately lit up at this p...
