"Robbery? It was clearly you who broke into the house and I caught you, and now you're trying to turn the tables on me." Lu Ning said as she directly opened He Xiran's bag.

The next second, I saw a palm-sized metal box inside.

The moment He Xiran saw Lu Ning take out the box, he broke down and screamed.

She shouted that it was her stuff and no one else was allowed to touch it.

Lu Ning didn't seem to have the habit of indulging others. She was annoyed by the noise and simply covered He Xiran's mouth.

"Let's go and find a quiet place to talk." Lu Ning put the box away and turned to look at Lu Qing and Ji Qianxu beside them.

Just in case, Lu Ning specially paid Ji Qianxu five times the overtime pay before inviting him.

According to Ji Qianxu's charging standards, he would be charged extra for every extra minute.

Lu Ning didn't intend to go far away, so she simply pulled He Xiran back to Room 302.

The moment the lights came on, He Xiran subconsciously closed his eyes.

Lu Ning pulled a chair over from the side and asked He Xiran to sit down.

"Ms. He, could you please explain what this is?" Lu Ning stood in front of He Xiran. This place hadn't been cleaned for a while, so there was really no place to sit.

When Ji Qianxu pulled Lu Qing in, she saw Lu Ning standing there. She looked around and found that there was nowhere to stand, so she had to find a relatively clean place to stand.

She had originally planned to leave after finishing her business, but now she wanted to stay and get first-hand gossip.

After all, Lu Ning's behavior might bring some unexpected gains, and she could report it to Boss Xie and make another fortune.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianxu didn't care about the environment and just stood aside and watched the show.

Lu Ning waved the box in front of He Xiran, and He Xiran's eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

He Xiran: “Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”

Lu Ning frowned, almost forgetting that He Xiran's mouth had been blocked by her.

“现在可以说了。”路柠将贺希然放开,却看到她表情僵了一瞬。

He Xiran's eyes were all on the box in Lu Ning's hand. After a while, he finally spoke, "Give it back to me."

"But you took this out of my house, how do you prove it's yours?" Lu Ning moved closer, and under the light, Lu Ning's shadow covered He Xiran.

He Xiran suddenly felt a little scared.

It was the first time she looked at Lu Ning from this angle. Although there was a smile on his face, he gave her an invisible pressure.

He Xiran was trembling, but the box contained her things.

Cannot be discovered by others.

What should I do?

Cold sweat had already seeped out of He Xiran's forehead. In just a moment, there was only one thought left in her mind, which was to get the things back and not let anyone else see them.

Thinking of this, He Xiran suddenly struggled and moved.

She was tied to a chair, but suddenly she stood up with the chair.

The next second, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Lu Ning's wrist.

Lu Ning pulled back the hand holding the box, and at the same time stretched out her other hand to hold down He Xiran who had suddenly gone crazy.

"Lu Ning, hold her down, I think something's wrong with her." Ji Qianxu, who was still watching melons, stepped forward immediately upon seeing this.

Just at that moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of emptiness in He Xiran's eyes. That was not the reaction a normal person would have.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning held He Xiran down tightly, and only turned He Xiran's face around when Ji Qianxu approached.

After a few minutes, He Xiran gradually calmed down. Her consciousness was a little scattered, but it was much better than when she was crazy just now.

Lu Ning stared at He Xiran in front of him and suddenly frowned, "Doctor Ji, He Xiran was also hypnotized?"

Ji Qianxu withdrew his hand and took a deep breath. "It is, but her hint is not fatal. It is much simpler than Mr. Lu's."

Lu Qing, who was suddenly mentioned, came over when he heard the voice.

His feelings towards He Xiran had changed, but he still couldn't help feeling a little bit sorry when he saw her like this.

"Will she..." Lu Qing started to speak, but suddenly stopped.

He can't be stubborn any longer.

He Xiran has just been using him.

From beginning to end, he was being used.

If he still had a glimmer of hope before that He Xiran had nothing to do with He Suoyi who hypnotized him, then everything that happened tonight was enough to prove that He Xiran knew everything all along.

She knew the gardenia-scented incense in his room, and even knew how to give him hypnotic suggestions.

Lu Qing clenched his fists and told him to step away silently.

If it weren’t for Lu Ning, he still wouldn’t be able to see all this clearly!

Suddenly, there was a ding sound in Lu Ning's ear.

Then, the system's voice suddenly appeared.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest and saving the infatuated male partner. The side quest rewards have been issued and the lottery system has been opened——]

Lu Ning was about to pull He Xiran up and ask: "..."

It was a bit sudden.

Lu Ning didn’t know what happened in Lu Qing’s mind in just a few minutes, or maybe he suddenly figured it out, got enlightened, and completely got rid of the influence of the heroine’s halo on him?

No matter which one it was, for Lu Ning her mission was accomplished.

Although I really want to try the lottery system, it is obviously not the right time yet.

Lu Ning signaled the system to leave first, and then she pulled He Xiran up and let her sit back on the chair.

She held the metal box and asked while He Xiran was distracted, "What's in this box?"

Lu Ning tried to open the box just now, but there was a lock on it, a very sophisticated one, and Lu Ning was unable to open it for a while.

He Xiran stared at the box and finally let out a sob.

Lu Ning: “…” What’s going on with the heroine?

"There is evidence in there... He was the one who killed my parents, and I will make him pay the price!" He Xiran's voice suddenly rose, and then it twitched violently.

Seeing this, Ji Qianxu hurriedly held Lu Ning down, signaling her not to go forward.

"Her condition is a little dangerous. We can't ask any more questions." After saying this, Ji Qianxu stepped forward to help He Xiran up and whispered something.

A few minutes later, He Xiran fainted completely.

Lu Ning held the box and originally wanted to ask He Xiran how to open it, but now she had to give up.

……

When he woke up again, He Xiran found himself lying in the hospital.

"You finally woke up. I thought I had to look for a new assistant." Li Che's voice suddenly came from the side.

He Xiran frowned, wondering why he was still here.

"Why am I in the hospital?"

Li Che stood up and walked to He Xiran, pointing to the phone beside him, "Someone called me and said you fainted. I guess I postponed a cocktail party and rushed over."

"Where is Lu Ning? My things are still in her hands!" After regaining consciousness, He Xiran immediately remembered what happened before.

She remembered that she found the thing placed in Room 302, but unfortunately it was snatched away by Lu Ning before she could open it.

If He Suoyi had not been arrested, she would not have had the chance to find out where that thing was hidden, but now her plans were ruined.
