Yan Guang’s thoughts were instantly interrupted when Yu Ning blocked Ji Mingxia. He frowned slightly and was just about to say something when his gaze was suddenly drawn to Yu Ning.
Yan Guang was stunned after seeing Yu Ning’s appearance. His eyes almost widened in astonishment and then couldn’t wait to observe Yu Ning in detail.
On the contrary, Pei Yuan, who was at the side, heard Yu Ning’s query and gave Ji Mingxia a look.
Seeing the panic on Ji Mingxia’s face, Pei Yuan asked, “You didn’t find a chance to say it?”
“I …… “ Ji Mingxia was in panic as soon as he heard Pei Yuan’s introduction and he was a little flustered when he heard that the man was from the same department as Pei Yuan.
At this moment, Ji Mingxia could only shake his head in a panic when he heard Pei Yuan’s question.
He had only found out yesterday that Yu Ning might be contaminated, and had been torn up about it. He originally thought that he would find an opportunity to tell Yu Ning about it after everyone had returned to the hotel and had a good rest.
It had never occurred to him that they would meet Pei Yuan’s colleagues just after leaving the forest!
This was the equivalent of Yu Ning being a suspected criminal, and as a family member, he had just learned of the news and hadn’t had time to digest it or tell Yu Ning when the police came to his door!
Ji Mingxia was instantly remorseful. He should have said something last night, and he had now caused everyone to be so passive.
Bao Guangyuan looked at Yan Guang, looked at Yu Ning, then looked at Pei Yuan who had a serious face. He finally turned to Ji Mingxia who was at a loss for words, and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the situation, did something happen?”
From their encounter at the Love Mountain Spring, he had been with Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning the whole time. They had only met Pei Yuan yesterday, and he had been present the whole time.
But everyone’s reactions today simply made him feel as if he had slept all day and missed out on a lot of important things.
Pei Yuan said: “The Yan and Pei families are family friends. Yan Guang calls my father his elder brother, so he is my nominal senior uncle though we are of similar age and are now colleagues in the same department. Yan Guang was born with a special physique and his eyes can see energy that is invisible to ordinary people. I came to Quanzhuang with the intention of rendezvousing with Yan Guang.”
“I lost contact with him after entering the forest so Yan Guang found this place based on my last GPS location. We plan to return to the capital headquarters together.”
Bao Guangyuan nodded, “So that’s how it is ……”
He couldn’t help but look at Yan Guang. He only felt that Yan Guang’s eyes were bright and clear before, but after listening to Pei Yuan’s words, he looked at Yan Guang again and he really didn’t look like an ordinary person at first glance.
Bao Guangyuan was already used to seeing Pei Yuan, and he was now full of curiosity about Yan Guang.
However, Yan Guang obviously had no interest in him. His eyes were fixed on Yu Ning the whole time, as if he could not wait to look inside Yu Ning’s body.
Bao Guangyuan saw Yan Guang like this, and he couldn’t help but look at Pei Yuan again, “So he is now ……”
Why was he staring at Yu Ning?
Pei Yuan said, “My bronze bell has a keen sense and it rang as soon as it saw you. I suspected that among you, someone had a mysterious item and was contaminated.”
“Contaminated?” Bao Guangyuan asked in confusion.
However, Yan Guang interrupted on hearing Pei Yuan’s words and he immediately asked Yu Ning, “You really do have mysterious items on you, how many? Two? Three?”
“Three.” Yu Ning said and looked at Ji Mingxia, “You know all of this?”
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning uneasily, “Pei Yuan said it to me yesterday ……”
The matter had come to this, so there was no use in hiding and delaying it. He immediately told Yu Ning what Pei Yuan had said to him yesterday.
Bao Guangyuan stood to the side and listened with ears pricked up. When he finished listening, he looked at Yu Ning with wide eyes.
He felt that Yu Ning was a dangerous person from the first moment he saw him.
After spending so many days together, he gradually accepted Yu Ning’s abilities and even found him cool and handsome, only to find out that he was now possibly contaminated?
Sure enough, superpowers were not something that ordinary people could afford to consume.
Either they would be contaminated and die early, or like Pei Yuan, be fine in the short term, but would not live long.
Earlier, he thought that it was very cool to be able to use mysterious items, but at this moment, Bao Guangyuan could not help but be glad that he was an ordinary person.
He had managed to survive the forest and he just wanted to live a long and healthy life, never to deal with ghosts and monsters again!
In contrast to Bao Guangyuan, whose emotions were all written on his face, Yu Ning, as the person in question, was very calm after listening to Ji Mingxia’s words.
However, the calmer Yu Ning was, the more worried Ji Mingxia became and on seeing Yu Ning look at him in silence, Ji Mingxia guiltily lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry ……”
Everything Yu Ning knew about mysterious items came from him.
If he had known that mysterious items would bring so much trouble, he would not have told Yu Ning about them. As long as the two had not gone to the classroom to lure the ghost to appear, the first ring would not have fallen into Yu Ning’s hands, causing the plot to drift and everything to develop in an unforeseen direction.
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and Ji Mingxia simply couldn’t imagine how Yu Ning was feeling at this moment.
Yu Ning said, “So, you dismissed my suspicions and chose to believe him because of this matter?”
“Yes.” Ji Mingxia replied with his head bowed, not daring to face Yu Ning.
“You kept talking to him last night because you were discussing this matter?” Yu Ning asked again.
“Mm.” Ji Mingxia nodded his head, already prepared for Yu Ning’s blame.
However, instead of blame, Ji Mingxia heard Yu Ning say, “Fine, I’ll go back with him to do the test.”
Ji Mingxia was stunned, almost thinking he had heard wrong. He jerked his head up only to see Yu Ning looking at him with slightly downcast eyes. The look in his eyes was calm and gentle.
The tuft of hair that had been blown up by the wind was still gently swaying and Yu Ning’s entire person looked very calm, completely devoid of the resentment and anger that Ji Mingxia had expected.
“Yu Ning ……” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but remind, “Pei Yuan said that people with serious contamination could die.”
“I’ll die even if I don’t go.” Yu Ning said, surprisingly calm in the face of his own life and death.
“No, not necessarily.” Ji Mingxia could barely resist warning, “In case you’re more special, as someone who is heavily contaminated but can’t die, then…“
Ji Mingxia was just halfway through his sentence when Yan Guang’s voice suddenly interjected, “Hey hey, what are you two getting at? There’s no need to make our department sound so horrible.”
Ji Mingxia’s words were interrupted and he couldn’t help but look at Yan Guang.
Yan Guang felt everyone’s eyes on him and he looked at Yu Ning and said, “Yu Ning, right? I see that you are fine, there is no sign of contamination.”
Everyone was shocked, and Ji Mingxia was wide-eyed as he turned to Pei Yuan.
It’s definitely Ji Mingxia. I’m invested)
Oh boy, it’s probably Ji Ji that’s contaminated, or Pei Yuan just made the whole thing up đź’€
