Chapter 625: Chapter 623 Design 7_1

The next day, Xia Ningxing was still immersed in deep thought, preparing to recover the ancient prescription.

Her rosy lips murmured softly, "...Scarlet Grass is too fierce and not suitable, Orchid Heart Grass is cool in nature..."

She held a pen in hand, surrounded by many discarded prescriptions, crumpled into a ball.

While writing, Xia Ningxing yawned and fell asleep, exhausted.

Deep into the night, silence reigned.

However, from the hot spring pool emerged several men carrying weapons, unnoticed and silent.

They were well-trained, dressed in black and masked, moving more quietly than the sound of a needle dropping.

One of them approached the bedside and raised his hand to knock Xia Ningxing out.

But Xia Ningxing, as if a "start button" had been pressed, suddenly opened her eyes and immediately counterattacked.

The intruders were naturally no match for her.

But then...

"Don’t move!"

The rest pointed their dark, ominous weapons at Xia Ningxing, encircling her. If she dared to make a wrong move, she would be shot into a sieve.

Xia Ningxing felt a sudden toothache coming on.

Damn it, not only were they attacking in greater numbers, but they were also equipped with such lethal weapons.

It was just too bullying!

"What men you are, how can you bully a young girl like this!" Xia Ningxing tried to stall for time as she thought of ways to escape.

As for fighting?

She was indeed capable of fighting and could easily beat them into submission, but could she dodge so many guns?

If any one of them pulled the trigger, she would be done for.

Yet even so, Xia Ningxing was unnaturally calm.

"Miss Xia has such impressive skills, how could we confront you without weapons?" the leader replied with a feigned smile.

They had investigated her thoroughly before coming and were well aware of her abilities.

Xia Ningxing could neither confirm nor deny this.

"What do you want?" She could tell they didn’t intend to take her life; otherwise, she would have already been shot into a sieve.

So Xia Ningxing tried to negotiate with them.

"Miss Xia, don’t be afraid. We mean no harm. We just want to invite you to come with us for a small experiment," they replied.

Although they had agreed to Ning Mo’s father to dispose of Xia Ningxing, their leader had ordered them to take her alive.

Because Xia Ningxing was intelligent, having her alive was of use to him.

"..."

This was what they called no malice?

Xia Ningxing’s fingers pinched until her knuckles cracked.

"Miss Xia, you’d better be sensible!" Seeing her ready to fight, the man’s fingertips curved slightly as if preparing to attack.

"If you don’t go with us willingly, we’ll have no choice but to cripple you before taking you away!" they threatened.

That’s just bloody ruthless!

Xia Ningxing rolled her eyes at them and waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

"Why so sudden?" Seeing her relent so quickly, they frowned, suspiciously eyeing her, fearing a trick.

"I’m not stupid. I can take you down, but not the guns in your hands!" Xia Ningxing shrugged, seeming somewhat helpless.

But only she knew that her willingness to go with them stemmed from a premonition that not only would she not be in danger, but there might also be a great surprise awaiting her.

The theft of the Ning Family’s medical prescription must be related to them.

Otherwise, if she tried hard enough, there was still a possibility of escaping, but she might end up cripple, so perhaps it was best not to.

However...

Xia Ningxing had a question, "Can you tell me who’s behind this?"

"Ning Jian," the man replied.

Xia Ningxing had not expected them to reveal the information so willingly, supposing that they must feel she had no chance of returning alive or escaping from their den, so they didn’t mind letting her know.

Sigh.

Such arrogance was not a good habit, Xia Ningxing thought to herself.

As for Ning Jian.

Mentioning this person, Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes.

He is Ning Mo’s father, the elder brother of Mrs. Xia Ning, born to a different mother.

Normally, he acts all high and mighty, a hypocrite just like Ning Mo.

Xia Ningxing wasn’t surprised that it was his doing; after all, if she died, the headship of the Ning Family would go to his daughter, Ning Mo.

Tsk!

"Can you answer one more question for me? What did he offer you?" Xia Ningxing continued to ask.

She wanted to know how much her own life was worth.

The other party replied, "No money."

"How can you do it for free!" Xia Ningxing looked at them as if she were looking at ’idiots’.

The other party: "..."

Crazy!

"Favors." Annoyed by her, the other party dropped another two words.

After that, no matter what Xia Ningxing asked about the favor, the other party refused to say another word.

"Alright, time to go!"

Then, the villains directly covered Xia Ningxing’s mouth and nose with a towel soaked with drugs.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Rubbish, this kind of drug, I’m immune to it, okay!

Since they had come up from the hot spring, they also left from the outside of the hot spring.

Once they were outside, Xia Ningxing felt herself being pressed against a car; she was stuffed in the back seat with weapons pointed at her from both sides.

Not a second of relaxation!

Xia Ningxing could guarantee that if she dared to run, she would become a sieve!

Damn it!

Finally, the villains had some intelligence!

Why is there a sudden sense of relief?

Xia Ningxing quickly suppressed this bizarre thought at the bottom of her heart.

She must be insane!

At the same time.

A fire started in the Book Pavilion.

The raging flames illuminated half the sky, and the darkness momentarily turned into daylight.

"The water’s gone!"

"Quick, come put out the fire!"

"The Book Pavilion is on fire!"

"This is life-threatening!"

Black smoke billowed, and everyone shouted in alarm, rushing to put out the fire.

Mrs. Xia Ning suddenly woke up from a nightmare, her forehead covered in cold sweat. Hearing the cries of "The Book Pavilion is on fire" outside, her eyes instantly turned red with horror as she frantically crawled and rolled out of the room.

Xia Ningxing was still in the Book Pavilion!

"My girl! My girl!!"

At this moment, Mrs. Xia Ning lost all control, screaming uncontrollably. Luckily, no one else heard her.

By the time she arrived, Lu Tingli was already there.

At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the red veins spread like a spider web within his eyeballs, his whole body radiating despair and murderous intent, his handsome face so menacing it seemed to threaten destruction.

"Let me go!"

He roared lowly, like a wild beast.

But the surrounding guards held onto him tightly, refusing to let go.

"Bao’er!"

Mrs. Xia also arrived, her shrill and desperate cry slicing through the sky, startling the birds in the surrounding forest into frenzied flight.

"My daughter!"

Mrs. Xia’s cries were heart-wrenching.

Soon, the fire was finally put out.

However, the tragic part was...

After the fire was extinguished, a guard reported tremblingly, "We, we found a skeleton, the size and height are a perfect match with the Family Head."
