CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 341: KNOCKING HIM OUT FOR RESEARCH

"Zhan Hanjue’s body must have a problem," Ningwan asserted firmly after being taken away.

Ye Shao asked, "Did you notice something wrong?"

Ningwan shook her head, "He recognizes me, so he probably doesn’t have amnesia, but he suddenly has a headache, which indicates a problem with his head. Could it be caused by a Gu Worm? Or a curse?"

"This isn’t a martial arts movie, there’s no such thing as curses," Wu Taotao commented.

Ningwan said, "The world is vast and full of wonders. China has thousands of years of history. Do you think everything portrayed in dramas is made up? Miao Clan’s Gu Worms have existed since ancient times. Although many have been lost over time, there’s no guarantee some haven’t remained. No, I must investigate this matter thoroughly."

"So what do you plan to do?" Wu Taotao asked.

Ningwan pondered, "I must see Zhan Hanjue again, preferably knock him out so I can thoroughly examine him."

When they heard the word "examine," Ye Shao and Wu Taotao felt she was planning something experimental, feeling a sense of danger.

However, neither of them said anything.

Ningwan thought for a moment and then asked Wu Taotao to find two people at school for her.

"Can you trust them?" Wu Taotao asked.

Ningwan said, "I don’t know about Jin Yingzi, but Wen Jianan is trustworthy. However, if you seek out Wen Jianan, Jin Yingzi will surely find out. So it’s better to notify both of them, lest Jin Yingzi overthinks and causes trouble."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Wu Taotao quickly went to school to find Leng Ziqing and Jin Yingzi.

When she told them she knew where Ningwan was.

Both were surprised and asked, "Do you really know where she is?"

Wu Taotao replied solemnly, "If you intend to betray her and hand her over to the families searching for her, I would rather die than tell you her exact location."

Wen Jianan immediately said, "What kind of person do you think I am? I’m not familiar with those people, and I’ve been searching for Ningwan, too. No matter what, she’s my mother’s disciple, and now that she’s in trouble, I can’t just ignore her. I’ll only help her, certainly not betray her."

"What about you?" Wu Taotao asked, looking at Jin Yingzi, "You’re one of Zhan Hanjue’s minions, won’t you betray Ningwan for him?"

Jin Yingzi replied, "I haven’t seen Mr. Zhan in a long time. I used to help Old Mrs. Zhan with massages. But now that Old Mrs. Zhan is unconscious, and the Zhan Family doesn’t allow me to go anymore, I’m no longer associated with Mr. Zhan, you can be assured of that."

"Okay, I’ll trust you this once, don’t let me down."

Wu Taotao personally took them to meet Ningwan.

Of course, she didn’t take them to Ningwan’s residence but to the forest wetland park instead.

This place was big and open. If they tried any tricks, it would be easily noticeable.

From the moment they entered the park, Ye Shao followed them with a drone, monitoring their actions and checking if anyone else was following them.

Fortunately, only the three of them came in.

Ningwan was waiting for them by the pavilion.

Seeing Ningwan, Jin Yingzi and Wen Jianan were both excited.

"Finally seeing you safe and sound," Wen Jianan said.

Jin Yingzi, being more meticulous than the others, asked Ningwan, "What do you want us to help with?"

Ningwan gave Wu Taotao a look, signaling her to leave.

Then she had Jin Yingzi and Wen Jianan sit down.

She explained her suspicions and plans to them, then suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly, "I want to ask for your help with this matter. I know it’s a bit demanding, but apart from you, I can’t think of anyone else who can help me."

Jin Yingzi quickly got up and helped Ningwan straighten up, "Miss Ye, don’t be like that. You’ve helped us so many times before, it’s only right that we help you now. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll help."

Then she looked at Wen Jianan, "Jianan, what do you say?"

Wen Jianan said, "Of course, I’ll help. You’re my mother’s disciple. I never got to see my mother, and if I can’t even take care of her disciple, how can I face her in the future?"

"Thank you!" Ningwan was beyond grateful.

Wen Jianan said, "But how can we approach Zhan Hanjue? He’s hard to get close to. I’ve specifically checked his reports, and he always has several bodyguards with him, as if he’s afraid of being kidnapped, exceptionally cautious."

Jin Yingzi also said, "I went to see him once after Mr. Zhan returned, but was stopped at the door by the Zhan Family. I saw that even the housekeeper had been replaced, and it wasn’t Housekeeper Wu. I couldn’t see Mrs. Chen either. I had someone send a message inside, and Mrs. Chen said not to come again. Anyway, Old Mrs. Zhan doesn’t need me, and it seems they intentionally don’t want me entering the Zhan Family."

"Such tight security, there must be something fishy," Ningwan bit her lip, more convinced of her suspicions.

Jin Yingzi said, "I thought the same, but I haven’t found a good way to verify it."

"We’ll have to wait for an opportunity," Ningwan said, "I wanted to tell you this first. Since you’re willing to help me, we’ll wait together. No rush, I have plenty of time; a chance for him to be alone will eventually come."

Jin Yingzi and Wen Jianan nodded.

After waiting for more than ten days, Ningwan finally got the chance.

Wen Jianan called Ningwan, saying Zhan Hanjue had made an appointment with their family hospital, planning to visit the hospital.

Ningwan was overjoyed to receive this call.

"Can you manage to get Zhan Hanjue alone?"

"Of course I can, once he’s in our hospital, I’ll surely find a way to separate him."

"Great, let’s plan well."

Two days later, Zhan Hanjue arrived at the hospital with a woman.

It was then that Ningwan realized it wasn’t Zhan Hanjue who needed medical attention, but the woman he brought.

The woman was none other than Feng Qianru.

She’d seen pictures of Feng Qianru before, but when she saw her in person, she realized how beautiful she was.

Feng Qianru’s beauty was entirely different from hers; she was vibrant and flamboyant, drawing attention.

However, Feng Qianru was like the spring waters of the Jiangnan, delicate, slender, and graceful, easily evoking a strong sense of protection. Her soft and pure face made it difficult for anyone to harbor any ill will.

Ningwan, from a hidden corner, looked at Feng Qianru with a complex expression.

Even as a woman, seeing Feng Qianru’s pitiful appearance, it was hard not to feel protective, let alone a man.

Wen Jianan was also surprised, "So this is what Feng Qianru looks like. She’s thirty, isn’t she? But she still looks like a girl in her twenties. Ningwan, I feel like you’ve lost this round, not in terms of looks, but..."

"Shut up and let’s act quickly," Ningwan scolded with a stern expression.

Wen Jianan shrugged.

Since there was no prior notice about who needed medical attention or any symptoms.

So, Wen Jianan initially went to receive Zhan Hanjue.
