The fake daughter returns, and the villain cannon fodder becomes the group's favorite

The four of them stood in the corridor near the stairs without moving.

A gust of wind came from the opposite side and blew the window at the end of the corridor half open.

Xie Tingyun's body trembled. He looked at the other three people, and seeing that they didn't react, he stood up straighter and seemed less panicked.

"Nian Ke only told us to go to the second floor, but didn't tell us the room number." Lu Xinyan said.

Shen Ci Nian nodded. He looked at the rooms in the corridor. There were six doors in total, and the distance between each door was one meter.

"I have the key. You'll know if you open it." Xie Tingyun said as he took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.

The first door near the stairs was opened. Xie Tingyun pushed the door open and took a step back. After the door was fully opened, several people walked in.

The room was very clean, everything was in place and there was no sign that anyone had been there.

Several people checked inside one by one before coming out.

"No one." Lu Xinyan said, "I didn't see any message left by Nian Ke."

Like the others, Xie Tingyun walked to the second door and opened it.

The room was still clean and tidy with no signs that anyone had been there.

Then came the third, the fourth...

Until the sixth door was opened, there was no sign of Jiang Nianke and the drunk woman.

All six rooms were clean and tidy, with no signs of anyone having been there.

The four of them stood in the corridor outside the last door, each with a look of confusion on their face.

Xie Tingyun closed the window and wondered, "How could that be? We checked all six rooms and couldn't even see their shadows."

"Could it be that Miss Jiang sent the wrong message?" Fu Jizhou looked at Shen Cinian and said.

Shen Qinian thought for a second and shook his head, "No, using talisman paper to send a message must be a difficult matter so he needs to do this."

Lu Xinyan also folded her hands, lowered her head and thought, stepping back and forth.

"It's a little weird."

The three of them looked at her, their eyes asking what she meant by that.

Lu Xinyan stopped and looked up at them. "According to Nian Ke's style, if there really was an accident, she wouldn't ask us to come over. What's more, she would definitely not ask us to come over if it was something that even she couldn't handle."

Shen Qinian immediately understood what she meant, "You mean, the message was not sent by her?"

Lu Xinyan nodded with a serious face.

Fu Jizhou and Xie Tingyun tried hard to keep up with their pace.

Fu Jizhou: "If she didn't send it, is there anyone else who would know this method?"

Xie Tingyun: "And what is that person's purpose? Just to get us away?"

Shen Ci Nian was startled when he heard his last sentence, turned around and walked downstairs.

Lu Xinyan and Fu Jizhou, who had reacted, also ran after them. Xie Tingyun hadn't figured it out yet, but when he saw them running, he followed them too.

……

The four of them arrived at the hall. The banquet was almost over and many people were saying goodbye to Xie Sinan and preparing to leave.

They immediately spotted Xie Sinan in the crowd, and Fu Moyan and the others were not far away.

The four people walked up to them, and Jiang Haoyu didn't see Jiang Nian, so he asked hurriedly.

"Where's Nian Ke?"

Shen Qinian: "We went to the second floor and checked all the rooms upstairs, but we didn't see her."

Shen Youning exclaimed, "How could it be? Didn't Nian tell us to go to the second floor?"

Lu Xinyan: "We suspect that the person who sent the message was not Jiang Nianke."

They repeated their analysis and what happened on the second floor.

Jiang Zexi sat on the sofa with a stern expression, "Nian Ke wouldn't joke around. If the message was sent by her, then it must be on the second floor. If it was sent by someone else, how did he know that Nian Ke would use this method to send us a message?"

Jiang Siyuan also nodded, "Now we can rule out the possibility that the other party is Xie Xiong and his group. The other party must be someone we have never seen before."

Jiang Mingcheng: "Could it be that woman? Her target is Nian Ke."

The others nodded after thinking about it. They were now facing two problems. One was that the banquet was over and it was time to decide Xie Sinan’s fate. The other was that Jiang Nian Ke was missing.

These two issues are the most important at the moment. If Xie Sinan dies, it will produce a butterfly effect, and Fu Moyan, Fu Jizhou, Xie Tingyun and others who follow him will not be able to escape.

The contact is even greater if Jiang Nianke is missing, and now it is unknown whether her life is in danger.

"If that person's target was Nian Ke, why did he use talisman paper to send us to the second floor? And there is nothing on the second floor." Tang Yihang said.

Jiang Haoyu: "Can we think of it this way? The talisman and its contents can be sent out by chanting, but we went to the second floor and couldn't see anything. Could it be some kind of sleight of hand? In fact, they have always been there, but we just can't see them."

He felt that this possibility was very high. Jiang Nian was different from other people. Maybe other people could also do what she could do?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case, but they couldn't verify it. Even if they ran to the second floor and shouted, there might not be a response. Did they have to peel off the wall?

After seeing off the guests, Xie Sinan came to them. Seeing their serious expressions, he asked them and found out the reason.

Then his expression also became serious.

"Have you seen Xie Xiong and the others?" Fu Moyan said.

Xie Sinan shook his head, "I haven't seen them since they left."

……

In the dark room, Jiang Nianke lay on the sofa and opened his eyes.

Her eyes are very clean and clear, and she can see the surrounding environment clearly even in the dark.

She moved slightly, her hands were tied behind her back.

[As expected, he was tied up. 】

As early as when she was bumped into, she could smell the faint scent of perfume on the woman's body, a kind of incense.

The scent is somewhat covered by the perfume and the smell is not that strong.

She could see that the woman had bumped into her on purpose, and she felt someone was staring at her the moment she entered.

She thought it was Fu Jizhou, and after she greeted him, the intense gaze still did not disappear.

Coincidentally, when the woman bumped into him, the oppressive gaze disappeared.

She simply followed their plan and when she went upstairs, she put her hands behind her back and quickly drew symbols to convey information to them.

As soon as the message was transmitted, the fragrance became stronger, although it had no effect on her.

As early as in the previous life, the old Taoist priest had used various medicinal herbs and poisonous insects to refine them for her, making her immune to all poisons.

After she came here, she never tested whether her physical condition came with her. After all, who would be so good as to feed herself poison for no reason?

If he comes along, it’s fine. If he doesn’t, I’ll have to open it again.

She understood as soon as she smelled the scent of the powder. She wanted to see what tricks the other party was trying to play. She closed her eyes and took a nap, and this is what she saw.

[Well, although they are tied up, it’s not a big problem. But where is this place? I don’t know if they have seen the message. ]

As Jiang Nian was thinking this, the door creaked open.

There was no one in the room when she woke up, she was sure of that.

Now that the door is ringing, it seems that the woman is just a helper.

ps: There should be one more chapter, which will be posted before seven o'clock.
