What kind of scheme is he plotting in Chapter 194?
After getting into the car, Wu Shiyu crossed her arms and remained silent. Gu Jiaxi, who was driving, wanted to say a few words to her but couldn't bring himself to speak because of her expression.
The only sound inside the quiet car was their breathing.
It wasn't until Wu Shiyu realized that the car wasn't heading towards the police station.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What, where are you taking me?"
"I'm sorry, although it is indeed someone from the Security Bureau who wants to see you, it's not at the Security Bureau," Gu Jiaxi explained. "Don't worry, I guarantee you won't be in any danger."
With a cold laugh, Wu Shiyu calmly withdrew her gaze.
It doesn't matter, she won't worry about any danger anyway.
after all……
She touched the pocket on her chest, where a talisman had been slipped into her pocket by Wu Zhao when she left.
With the protection of his ancestors, Wu Shiyu felt that he was now full of power.
The car drove into a very secluded villa area.
After Gu Jiaxi stopped the car, Wu Shiyu keenly noticed several hidden gazes around the villa.
"This is it." Gu Jiaxi opened the car door. "You can go in by yourself. I'll wait for you outside."
Wu Shiyu nodded indifferently to him and walked straight into the villa.
I could vaguely sense some fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Her fingers twitched slightly.
It looks like... a barrier?
Sure enough, once we entered the villa's courtyard, the noise outside became much quieter.
The people in the villa seemed to know she was coming and were already standing outside the door waiting for her.
Upon seeing that person, Wu Shiyu raised an eyebrow in surprise: "...A member of the Nie family?"
The other person had a very young face and was wearing the disciple's robes of the Nie family.
"Young Master Wu, my master has been waiting for a long time." The man smiled slightly at her and stepped aside.
Master? Wu Shiyu muttered to herself: Could it be that the head of the Nie family has arrived?
She walked into the villa and saw a stranger sitting on the sofa and... Nie Wu, whose face was somewhat pale.
"Nie Wu?! It's you!" Wu Shiyu immediately became alert.
Nie Wu curled her lips and said to the person beside her, "She is the young master of the Wu family, but is she the person you are looking for?"
"According to our agreement, when will you fulfill your promise to me?"
Her expression seemed very urgent as she stared intently at the unfamiliar man.
"No rush." The man said, a faint smile appearing on his handsome, otherworldly face. "Young Master Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am... Xuan Jing."
Wu Shiyu remained expressionless: "I don't know you, and I have no interest in getting to know you. Are you from the Garrison Command? What do you mean by using the Garrison Command as a pretext to see me?"
The man named Xuanjing was somewhat surprised by Wu Shiyu's reaction.
He carefully examined Wu Shiyu's appearance, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
"You don't know my name? Or... do you have no other thoughts about my name?"
What could he possibly be thinking? Wu Shiyu felt a surge of irritation towards this person who started speaking in riddles the moment they met.
She scoffed, "These days, people still use names to stage accidents? I said I don't know you, and that's final."
Nie Wu laughed, glancing at Xuan Jing with a hint of schadenfreude, and said, "Looks like she's not the person you're looking for."
Xuan Jing glanced at her coldly, his usually nonchalant expression tightening slightly.
His suspicious gaze swept over Wu Shiyu, and his tone became somewhat uncertain: "Don't you recognize me...? You don't remember me...? How is that possible...?"
Could he have really mistaken someone for someone else?!
Or did that person lie to him?
Xuan Jing stood up, his expression turning cold: "Since you've admitted your mistake, leave here immediately."
Wu Shiyu felt a sense of absurdity.
“No, what if she leaves and tells the other members of the Wu family about me being here?” Nie Wu retorted. “Even if she’s not the person you’re looking for, we can’t let her leave so easily now.”
"It's fine, do as you please. Our deal won't be completed until I find her." Xuan Jing turned and left without a care in the world, saying as he went, "Don't dirty my place."
Nie Wu was relieved. She looked at Wu Shiyu and said, "I'm really sorry, but I can only ask you to stay here temporarily before I leave the capital."
"If you want to keep me here, we'll see if you have the ability!" Wu Shiyu clenched her fist. "I've long heard that Nie Wu of the Nie family is a genius. Today, I'll see how powerful you are."
The hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by Gu Jiaxi's voice, interrupted the standoff between the two.
"Young Master Wu, are you alright?!" Gu Jiaxi rushed in.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nie Wu and Wu Shiyu after entering and realized that the two of them did not seem to have made a move.
"What are you doing here?" Wu Shiyu frowned and looked at Gu Jiaxi with some disdain.
Gu Jiaxi saw from the outside that the villa was suddenly emitting strange light, and thinking that something had happened inside, she rushed in without thinking.
Seeing that Wu Shiyu was alright, he realized he had been too nervous, so he touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was worried, so I came in to check on you."
"If there's nothing else, shall I take you back?"
The address for this small villa was given to him by a high-ranking officer in the garrison command, and he didn't know who lived there.
Hearing his words, Nie Wu's gaze towards the two of them became somewhat complicated.
“She can’t leave now, so you came in… to keep her company?” Nie Wu smiled knowingly, and her fingers behind her back twitched.
Something unseen drifted away from her fingertips.
"Are you going to illegally detain us?" Gu Jiaxi pressed her hand to her side, standing in front of Wu Shiyu.
Is this guy poisonous? Wu Shiyu stared at his back.
Is Nie Wuke someone an ordinary person can handle? He's still standing right in front of her, is he afraid she won't have time to make a move?
"Excuse me, I'm just inviting you to stay as guests, not to keep you here."
As she spoke, she silently took a few steps back.
A strange fragrance filled the air, and Gu Jiaxi's vision went black as she lost consciousness.
Seeing him suddenly fall down, Wu Shiyu grabbed him to prevent him from falling too hard.
"Now that you're carrying a burden, it'll be hard for you to walk, won't it?" Nie Wu looked at her with ill intent. "Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, I won't do anything to him."
Wu Shiyu clenched his fist, and suddenly a faint voice came to his ear.
"Stay, your master will come."
The voice was unfamiliar, but Wu Shiyu did not sense any malice in his words.
And what about the master he mentioned... could it be the ancestor?
Wu Shiyu was pleasantly surprised, but she quickly concealed her excitement.
After pretending to ponder for a moment, he finally spoke, "Fine, I'd like to see what you plan to do with me here."
Nie Wu only glanced at her and Gu Jiaxi, who was lying on the ground.
Her gaze became somewhat unfocused, as if she were lost in some kind of memory.
A faint, sweet smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"You just need to remain silent until I leave."
"If I can bring him back to life, I'll leave immediately..."
