Chapter 163 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World
"Sister, don't panic, let me break one of his legs."
The tiger owl raised its sword high and swung it down without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere turned tense and deadly!
"No, no!" the man in black pleaded, "I really don't know, I don't know!"
"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, please don't kill me!"
The owl's longsword came to a steady stop just inches from his leg.
He rolled his eyes at the man in black who hadn't said a word.
When she looked at Yan Nanfei again, her gaze turned to that of a cute puppy (*′▽｀*).
“Sister, it seems he really doesn’t know.” Tiger Owl said, kicking him again, stomping heavily. “But I was once an assassin too. Your so-called ‘having elderly parents and young children’ is a survival tactic only a low-level assassin would use. You think you can fool me? You’re dreaming!”
Those who can become assassins are all people without family or friends.
There are only a few exceptions: people send their own children to be assassins!
But the tiger owl is the exception!
If it weren't for not wanting Yan Nanfei to face a bloody scene, Tiger Owl would have chopped him into eight pieces.
Yan Nanfei frowned and said to Tiger Owl, "Take him away, take him far away."
Yan Nanfei wasn't stupid; he knew this man in black wouldn't leave him alive.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Upon hearing this, the tiger owl became excited: "Sister, I will!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" the man in black begged for mercy, but the tiger owl kicked him on the head, and the world went silent.
The tiger owl carried the person and used its light-footed skills to leave from behind the house.
This scene completely stunned Yan Nanfei and everyone else!
What the hell!
Yan Nanfei's eyes widened. This tiger owl can fly?!
She wants to fly too!
But right now, the most important thing is the purpose of the Oriental Pearl Tower.
"Yaoyao, Linfeng drank half a pot of wine yesterday. We had a doctor check it out, and they did add some drugs that make people drunk easily." Yan Nanfei reminded Liu Yunyao last night, but he didn't know if she would investigate.
As she spoke of this, Liu Yunyao's expression grew even more somber: "I also had the doctor examine the wine, and it is indeed problematic."
"But why would Mingzhu investigate whether you have a secret room?" Liu Yunyao couldn't understand it at all. Yan Nanfei was just an ordinary citizen, so why would Dongfang Mingzhu target him?
They even sent assassins to her house to investigate…
Yan Nanfei lowered his gaze. In times of turmoil, the ancients believed in the will of Heaven. Gods descended to earth to buy rice and investigate secret rooms.
All these combinations, could it be...?
A bold guess emerged in Yan Nanfei's mind.
Whoever buys the rice, whether human or god, will be executed as a warning to others.
After all, the emperor's jade seal had been in his possession for decades. Even if it was fake, over the years it would become real, and no one would doubt it.
Therefore, I probably won't risk looking for it.
Therefore, it can only be about a deity descending to earth to buy rice.
After all, the country depends on grain. If someone buys a large amount of grain, coupled with the mythological embellishment, the emperor is most afraid of divine punishment.
It seems Yan Nanfei needs to set up a scheme to get this matter out of the way.
"I don't know either..." Yan Nanfei decided to play dumb: "I haven't known her for long, and my family doesn't have any treasures. She can't possibly be after my little house, can she?"
The matter was of great importance, and Yan Nanfei had no way of telling Liu Yunyao.
Otherwise, one more person will know about what's going on in the space.
"Besides, what secret room could my house possibly have? It's a place where you can see everything at a glance." Yan Nanfei feigned annoyance. "Actually, I can guess Miss Dongfang's true identity. To be honest, they're of noble status. If they wanted to kill me, it would be easier than crushing an ant..."
Liu Yunyao was not surprised. Yan Nanfei was a smart man, and given the impressive presence of the Oriental Pearl Tower, it was not surprising that he could guess her true identity.
"Nanfei, I'm going to ask Mingzhu." Liu Yunyao was about to leave when Yan Nanfei quickly stopped her: "Yaoyao, you can't ask her directly."
“With that assassin dealt with, Dongfang Mingzhu must have some suspicions.” Yan Nanfei lowered his eyes. “We can’t act rashly. Let’s pretend we don’t know anything about this and haven’t seen the assassin. Let’s treat her normally and let her discover step by step that my house doesn’t actually have a secret room, that there’s nothing there, and that my family is just an ordinary family.”
After hearing Yan Nanfei's words, Liu Yunyao realized that she had really acted impulsively.
"Nanfei, what are you planning to do?" Liu Yunyao held Yan Nanfei's hand tightly, looking very worried.
At the same time, Liu Yunyao was also curious as to why the Oriental Pearl Tower had become like this.
Is the Oriental Pearl Tower under any threat?
If the investigation fails, will she be punished?
They were both her friends, and she didn't want to see either of them get hurt...
But now, they've become rivals...
It's not that I'm overly compassionate and don't consider Yan Nanfei a friend.
Rather, she really had a headache.
A childhood friend, a close friend—if you were in their shoes, you'd be confused and unsure what to do.
"The best way to prove that my house doesn't have a secret room is to tear it down and rebuild it." Yan Nanfei understood the importance of this house, as it was a memento left by the original owner's parents.
But which is more important, life or longing?
In any case, Yan Nanfei would choose life.
When Feng Shan heard that the houses were to be demolished, his heart skipped a beat. Although he felt sad and reluctant, he was deeply saddened.
But as Yan Nanfei thought, what could be more important than life?
His life is unimportant, but it is important when it concerns Yan Nanfei.
Liu Yunyao nodded in agreement; this method was indeed the fastest and most effective.
"Nanfei, when do you plan to start construction?"
“No rush, wait a few days.” Yan Nanfei looked at the changing weather and could tell that a heavy rainstorm was coming. “We need a legitimate reason. If it’s too sudden, it will arouse more suspicion from Oriental Pearl.”
"Yes, if you need any help, just let me know." All Liu Yunyao could do was cooperate with Yan Nanfei.
"Yaoyao, you just need to forget everything that happened today, pretend it never happened." At this point, Yan Nanfei asked her, "Does the Oriental Pearl Tower know you've come out?"
"Don't worry, she didn't send anyone to follow me," Liu Yunyao said. "Mingzhu was very drunk last night, and she probably won't wake up until noon this afternoon."
"Nanfei, don't worry, once I leave this room, I'll erase today's events from my mind and heart." Liu Yunyao patted Yan Nanfei's hand: "Then I won't stay any longer. I'll head back early so that the Oriental Pearl won't be lost."
"Okay, be careful." Yan Nanfei had watched too many TV dramas; bad guys wouldn't show mercy to their own people. "If you sense anything's wrong, leave immediately, go..."
Yan Nanfei was halfway through his sentence when he whispered in Liu Yunyao's ear. Liu Yunyao looked up in surprise at Yan Nanfei, and said with gratitude, "Nanfei, thank you for telling me. I believe Mingzhu won't harm me. You all need to protect yourselves..."
