Tangning sat in front of the computer blankly, the words she had just heard still echoing in her ears.
Uncle Mu. Du Feng.
These two people, whom he had never associated with each other, were suddenly put together. His heart was beating violently, and every beat was like a countdown to death.
In the document about corpse-carrying in western Hunan, Du Feng's list was completely blank.
Why would a Miao person drive corpses
What if that person was originally related to a corpse driver
The chill crept up Tang Ning's body, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his palms. The person sitting next to him was too calm, and there was deathly silence. Tang Ning didn't know what Du Feng was saying. Du Feng should have heard it too, right
These days, when everyone gets together to watch videos, they often mention Uncle Mu. Now that I think about it, from the beginning to now, Du Feng has never responded to any topic related to Uncle Mu.
Du Feng was saved by him and has a relationship with Uncle Mu, so he is the real snake?!
The sound of his heartbeat was so loud that Tangning couldn't hear what he was saying in the video. Du Feng was still quiet, but that silence gave Tangning an infinite sense of oppression.
It was like a docile big dog that suddenly shed its tamed outer skin, revealing its vicious nature that wanted to devour anyone.
"What's wrong?"
A strange male voice with a thick accent.
Tang Ning would rather Du Feng never speak again than to be by his side, so she whispered into his right ear.
Tang Ning held onto her left hand tightly with her right hand. She had to hold onto the ring tightly to hold onto that tiny bit of security.
The slightly chilly air seemed to be stagnant, and every breath became extremely difficult. Tang Ning was like some kind of old robot. He slowly and stiffly turned his head and looked at Du Feng who was so close.
The faint light from the screen shone on Du Feng's right eye, while his left eye was dark and dull. Under the dim light, this dark and handsome face seemed to be integrated with endless darkness. He looked at Tang Ning, his right eye was like a hungry wolf, and his left eye was like a cold and poisonous snake.
Tang Ning felt cold from the tip of his toes to the top of his head.
Du Feng turned his head slightly and glanced at the computer that was still playing the video with an ambiguous look. He spoke slowly in Mandarin with a strange accent.
"Uncle Mu recommended it?"
His voice was much louder than Tangning's in the video. The other players also heard the keyword "Uncle Mu". They all turned their eyes to Tangning, asking excitedly, "What's wrong with Uncle Mu?!" "Did you spot Uncle Mu?" "Which video?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Du Feng's expression was no different from usual. He still stared at Tangning, even though Tangning stayed by his side and could not escape. "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me?"
When Tang Ning heard Du Feng say this in a nonchalant tone, fear could not help but show on his face. The intense fear spread wildly from his heart, blocking his throat and unable to vent it, so his body was filled with oppression.
"Tang Ning, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yun asked worriedly when she came over to their side.
His dark pupils were fixed on Tang Ning. In the eyes of the players, Du Feng's performance was exactly the same as usual. After all, Du Feng could only see Tang Ning in the past.
Tang Ning was almost pinned to the spot by this gaze. He raised his head tremblingly and shook his head at Lin Yun who was approaching. The advice to "run away" turned into a vague whimpering sound coming out from between Tang Ning's lips.
Lin Yun looked around warily, but didn't see any danger. He continued to move towards Tang Ning in confusion. Not only Lin Yun, but other players also came to Du Feng's side at once.
"Have you found any clues?" Chen Yan asked.
Surrounded by the crowd, Du Feng reached out and adjusted the video to the beginning. In the video, Tang Ning had a brilliant look. He was wearing the traditional costume of the Miao ethnic group. The dazzling silver ornaments on his body kept shaking, making a crisp and pleasant sound when he walked. Tang Ning was like a happy bird in the mountains. He said to everyone, "We can now go find Miao Du Feng recommended by Uncle Mu~"
The players in front of the screen were all dead silent, as if the pause button had been pressed by an invisible hand.
Only Du Feng looked different. He sat on the chair with his long legs crossed, looking a little lazy. He looked at Tangning in the video, then at the shocked real Tangning. Du Feng wrinkled his nose and reached out to grab a handful of his braided curly hair. "Can you please explain to me why Uncle Mu recommended me?"
Du Feng asked confidently.
Tang Ning was stunned.
Not only Tang Ning, but the other players around her who were facing a formidable enemy were also a little confused.
However, Du Feng looked even more puzzled than them. Not only was he bewildered, but he was also a little irritable, as if he felt that he was associated with something unclear.
"Don't you know this Uncle Mu?" Lin Yun asked.
Du Feng nodded as a matter of course, "Why should I know him?"
"Then why did he recommend you?" Chen Yan asked curiously.
Du Feng was also puzzled, "How should I know? What did he tell you? Why did you come to me?"
The players looked at each other.
Tangning, who was in a state of high tension, calmed down a little. He touched the diamond ring on his finger and typed tremblingly, "He should have told us that you can drive corpses. We want to ask you about the secret of driving corpses. Can you tell us?"
Du Feng shook his head, "This is my secret."
Having been rejected once, being rejected by Du Feng was also expected.
But no one expected that Du Feng was recommended by Uncle Mu. It seemed that Du Feng didn’t know this Uncle Mu. Did Du Feng really not know him, or did he deliberately hide something
Although the players still have some doubts about Du Feng's attitude, Du Feng doesn't want to talk about it, and the players can't put a knife to Du Feng's neck to force him to speak.
After the series of shocks that Tang Ning had experienced this afternoon, he was extremely exhausted and did not have the energy to watch the video anymore. Not only was he physically sleepy, but he also felt oppressed by Du Feng who was sitting next to him.
Tang Ning told the other players that he needed to rest, and then he sent a message to Geng Xi, asking him to drive over to pick him up.
Although it was impossible to determine who was the real snake between Gengxi and Dufeng, the prince was sure it was between the two of them.
Tang Ning did not feel safe when she was alone with either of these two people. Only when they were together could Tang Ning barely feel that little sense of security.
After he sent the message, Geng Xi quickly replied: "Okay, ten minutes."
Ten minutes. If Gengxi was at home now, it would definitely take more than ten minutes. Gengxi said he had something to do in the afternoon, so what was he going to do? Why was Gengxi able to be by his side so quickly when he was in danger? Was it because of the ring
A series of questions popped up in his mind, but Tang Ning was really too tired. He had never been this tired before. He was thinking about these questions in the last second, but the next moment his mind became a mess and he forgot what he was thinking just now. He had to stop and spend more than ten seconds to think carefully before he could think about these difficult questions intermittently.
"Go take a nap if you're sleepy." Du Feng looked at Tang Ning, who was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes, and said with concern.
Tang Ning was startled by Du Feng's sudden voice and regained consciousness briefly. He didn't dare to look at Du Feng. He rubbed his cheeks and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
As soon as the ten minutes were up, Geng Xi arrived at the company, timing himself perfectly. He went straight to Tang Ning's seat as soon as he entered the office. Seeing Tang Ning's pale face, with dark red powder all over her body and face, Geng Xi felt very distressed. He took out a wet towel and quickly and gently wiped Tang Ning's face.
Tears welled up in Tang Ning's eyes, tears of sleepiness. He squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and yawned like a cat.
"Do you want to sleep?" Geng Xi asked softly.
Tangning nodded.
Geng Xi gently held Tangning in his arms, "Go to sleep."
Since Du Feng and Geng Xi were both present, Tang Ning didn't have to force himself to stay awake. He fell asleep in Geng Xi's arms.
There is a word called soft as if without bones, and there is another word called warm and soft jade arms. Tang Ning who was sleeping in Gengxi's arms was probably like this. One arm slipped out of Gengxi's arms softly, and her two legs swayed slightly with the amplitude of Gengxi's movement.
Geng Xi walked slowly and steadily so as not to wake up the person in his arms.
Du Feng stood beside Geng Xi. He looked at Tang Ning who had fallen asleep in less than a minute. Her snow-white face was flushed with a sickly red color, which came from her skin. Her lips were also red. Her beautiful sleeping face almost made Du Feng jealous. He couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Let me hug him too."
Geng Xi raised his eyelids and glanced at Du Feng, "Don't you have a wife?"
This sentence easily angered Du Feng. Du Feng was concerned about Tang Ning's sleep. His chest kept rising and falling. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. Every word he said was squeezed out from between his teeth, full of murderous intent. "Don't call him my wife."
Geng Xi ignored Du Feng and lowered his head to kiss Tang Ning's forehead.
A hand tied with a cloth strip blocked his way. Under Geng Xi's gaze, the hand was clenched into a fist, as if the fist would hit Geng Xi's face hard in the next second.
"You are a Gu user, you are not worthy to touch him!" Du Feng said in a rough voice, his voice rising slightly due to his excitement. Tang Ning in Gengxi's arms frowned.
The two people who were originally on edge suddenly quieted down and looked at Tangning. Tangning buried her face in Gengxi's arms, adjusted her posture, and continued to sleep in a daze.
Geng Xi looked at Du Feng coldly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were like looking at a fly that disturbed Tang Ning's rest.
Du Feng took several deep breaths before he suppressed his desire to kill Geng Xi. He lowered his voice again and said, "Take the Gu off him."
Geng Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Feng with a strange look.
Du Feng said in a hoarse voice: "If you are still a man, take off the Gu and fight with me uprightly, I will still look up to you."
Their heights were similar, but at this moment, Du Feng felt that Geng Xi was looking down at him. The man in front of him raised his lips with contempt and mockery, but his voice was gentle: "I'll fight with you."
"You deserve it?"
