Chapter 426: Chapter 426 - The Secret of Nangong Wu Revealed_1

Nangong Wu failed to hit her mark, she continued to attack, fluttering towards Zhang Xian like a butterfly. Her slender jade hand aimed straight for Zhang Xian’s throat, her first move a killing one.

"Damn..."

Zhang Xian quickly retreated and asked angrily, "Nangong Wu, what are you doing?"

"Die..."

Nangong Wu did not pause, she continued to attack.

Zhang Xian was a bit vexed and continued to dodge.

At this moment, he saw a glint of red in Nangong Wu’s eyes, as enchanting as a red gemstone.

Upon noticing this, he suddenly stepped forward, pivoting around Nangong Wu and blocked her delicate waist with one hand, pressing the other against her back, he sent a surge of spiritual energy through her.

The flicker of red light in Nangong Wu’s eyes indicated that she was under someone’s control. This occurrence would suggest that the trench-coat man had some kind of control over her.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, Nangong Wu came to her senses and appeared a bit astonished, "I...how am I here?"

"You were brought here by someone."

Zhang Xian said, "However, I arrived in time and rescued you."

"Hmm, thank you!"

Nangong Wu was aware of her previous encounter with the trench-coat man, so she did not doubt his explanation. But she was clueless about what happened after she had fainted.

Feeling something unusual on her chest, she glances down and quickly straightens her body. Her cheek slightly reddening, she asked, "What... what on earth are you touching?"

"Er..."

Zhang Xian froze for a moment, then hurriedly explained with a smile, "Well, you were just controlled by the trench-coat guy and attacked me. In the heat of the moment, I grabbed hold of you. It was completely unintentional, don’t be angry."

After taking a glance at Zhang Xian, Nangong Wu nodded.

Seeing that Nangong Wu was not angry, Zhang Xian let out a sigh of relief and suggested, "Let’s go back! Li Peichi must be very worried."

"Yeah..."

Nangong Wu took out her phone and said, "I’ll just give her a call."

Zhang Xian watched Nangong Wu walk out while making her call, and after scanning the room, he curiously approached a black bag and picked it up.

There were quite a few items in it, all used for refining zombies. Among them, a black flower caught his attention.

"Seems like I have good luck."

Zhang Xian chuckled and tucked the flower away. After burning the rest of the items in the bag, he left the room.

"Where is that guy who was trying to capture me?"

Nangong Wu, standing by the BMW, asked when Zhang Xian came out, "Don’t tell me he escaped again."

"Is that possible?"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "He won’t bother you again. But the main problem is not the young man in the trench coat. The real headache is Ximen Chuifeng. Recently, you should stay in a bit more! Your pure Yin energy is very strong now and is easily sensed by those on the cusp of breaking through to innate from post-acquired peak."

"No...no way?"

Nangong Wu complained, "If I can’t go out, what’s left to live for?"

"It’s just temporary."

Zhang Xian said, "Besides, I’m not saying you can’t go out, just try to go out less, so others won’t discover you. Most of the time, I will accompany you."

"Um, Zhang Xian, thank you! I suddenly feel that you are really not that bad."

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, "Sister Wu, why do I feel a bit uncomfortable with your words? What do you mean, ’I’m really not that bad’?"

"I didn’t understand you before, right?"

Nangong Wu gently pushed back her hair with an elegant gesture, "Let’s go home! Peichi and the others are waiting for us!"

Zhang Xian nodded and climbed into the BMW.

...

Yanjing, Tiannan Group headquarters.

When Li Peichi heard that Nangong Wu was okay, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Previously after seeing Nangong Wu being captured, she had immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Tiannan Group to find Mo Shaoyun and Xiao Nan.

"Zhang Xian really is..."

Mo Shaoyun voiced her displeasure, "How could he joke around with Sister Wu’s safety like that? Thankfully nothing happened this time. If anything happened to Sister Wu, he would be entirely to blame."

Xiao Nan forced a smile and said, "That’s hard to say, isn’t Zhang Xian trying to solve the problem? If it wasn’t for this, would that guy come out?"

"Why wouldn’t he come out?"

Li Peichi argued, "If Zhang Xian had waited for us there today, Sister Wu wouldn’t have been captured. With Zhang Xian’s ability, he could have dealt with that guy."

"But can you guarantee that the trench coat man does not have accomplices?"

Xiao Nan explained, "Zhang Xian intentionally let that guy capture Sister Wu in order to wipe them all out at once, once and for all."

Li Peichi pouted, "Sister Nan, why are you always defending Zhang Xian now? Did you fall for him?"

"I’m not defending Zhang Xian, but I feel you have all misunderstood him."

Xiao Nan chuckled and responded, "Right now, Zhang Xian is willing to help you all, but you have to understand, he has no obligation to do so. What would you do if he really didn’t want to help?"

"I..." Li Peichi was speechless.

Before, she hadn’t given it much consideration, was feeling dissatisfied with Zhang Xian in many ways. Then when Xiao Nan explained, she suddenly realized a serious problem.

They had been very picky while Zhang Xian was helping them for free, but what if Zhang Xian didn’t help? Would they be able to handle everything as easily? There seemed to be many things which Zhang Xian alone could help with.

Mo Shaoyun also realized this, which perfectly illustrated the phrase ’those involved are blinded, while the bystanders can see clearly’.

From a different perspective, she definitely would have thought of this. Being in the middle of the situation, her mode of thinking was different, and she hadn’t really considered this aspect.

"Ding Ling Ling..."

Suddenly, Xiao Nan’s mobile phone rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was Zhang Xian who had called. She hurriedly answered, asking, "How did it go?"

"Problem resolved! You can come down now! I’m at the outside of your company."

"Oh! Okay."

Xiao Nan smiled, hung up the phone, and said, "Zhang Xian is already downstairs, let’s go meet him."

Mo Shaoyun nodded, "Okay, let’s go."

Li Peichi and Xiao Nan shared a smile, then exited the office with Mo Shaoyun.

When they arrived downstairs and saw Nangong Wu, they looked her over from top to bottom and from left to right, ensuring she was fine before they relaxed.

"Do you not trust me?"

Zhang Xian said with a bitter smile, "Didn’t I already say that Sister Wu is fine? As long as I’m here, can she get hurt?"

"Stop blowing your own trumpet."

Li Peichi rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, "Next time, discuss with us first. No one can act unilaterally. We are all good sisters, no one can have an accident."

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and said, "Fine, will I discuss with you all next time?"

Upon hearing this Li Peichi smiled.

Even though Zhang Xian was helping out of goodwill, they were all friends, and Zhang Xian was a loyal person, so her occasional outbursts of temper were excusable.

Women, after all, have certain privileges in front of men, so why not take full advantage of them?

"By the way, I just remembered something."

Nangong Wu suddenly looked at Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Liu Changfeng’s sixtieth birthday is coming up the day after tomorrow, will you be there, Shaoyun?"

Mo Shaoyun responded, "I probably won’t go, right? Isn’t my dad going?"

"You should go too!"

Nangong Wu said, "Your dad will be there, but I’ve only got myself. After all, I’m still in Yanjing, and given that Liu family is the largest family in Yanjing, I can’t not attend!"

"So, let’s go together!"

Zhang Xian said, "If Sister Wu is going, I’m definitely going as well. If Mo Shaoyun doesn’t go, I guess I’ll have to split myself in half."

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Shaoyun nodded, "Okay, I’ll go with you."

"Alright..."

Nangong Wu smiled and said, "That’s settled then."

...

In Yanjing, in the Presidential Suite of a certain luxury hotel.

Ximen Chuifeng was reclining in a chair, a lighter spinning nonstop between his fingers.

Next to him, a middle-aged man in a suit stood respectfully, hands crossed over his chest, his head bowed showing deep respect to Ximen Chuifeng.

"Has everything been checked out?"

After a long pause, Ximen Chuifeng asked, "Who is Nangong Wu?"

"The master, Nangong Wu’s background, might surprise you."

The middle-aged man said, "She is precisely the young girl from the Nangong Family who ran away from home about fifteen years ago; she has just changed her name."

"Really?" Ximen Chuifeng seemed surprised.

He had heard about a girl from the Nangong Family who ran away from home years ago, but he didn’t know the details. He had only heard rumors and wasn’t interested in prying too deeply.

Upon hearing that Nangong Wu was actually from the Nangong Family, he was indeed a bit surprised.

This trip to Yanjing was to represent his family in wishing Liu Changfeng, the head of the Liu family, a happy sixtieth birthday. Knowing now that Nangong Wu was of a Pure Yin Body was merely a coincidence, but had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble.

Though Nangong Wu had run away from home more than a decade ago, she was technically part of the Nangong Family. He could use this fact to his advantage.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man nodded, and said, "Actually, this information would be considered confidential now. But it seems I’ve found the right person who happened to know about this."

"Are you sure?" Ximen Chuifeng asked.

The middle-aged man hesitated, then said, "Not 100%, but there’s a 90% chance. The person told me in great detail. I don’t think it could be a lie."

"Ha ha! Excellent."

Ximen Chuifeng stood up, laughed and said, "So Nangong Wu doesn’t want to agree, but there’s a little guy who’s putting on airs? I’ll have the Nangong Family intervene. Nangong Wu shouldn’t have the courage to resist, right? And if this plan goes well, why not kill two birds with one stone? While I get Nangong Wu, I can also use the Nangong Family’s influence to get rid of that bastard."

"Master, are you saying that you want to propose marriage to the Nangong Family, so they can force Nangong Wu to marry?"

Ximen Chuifeng chuckled and said, "Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "The plan seems good, but I’m not sure the Nangong Family would cooperate that easily!"

Ximen Chuifeng said, "Everyone has weaknesses, including the Nangong family. As long as we offer enough benefits, would the Nangong family refuse? For a Pure Yin Body like Nangong Wu, even if the Nangong family drives a hard bargain, we wouldn’t be at a loss! If we can succeed in cultivating Nangong Wu, then whatever the Nangong family takes from us now, they’d have to repay double in the future."
