Slipping into the study, the moonlight shines through the window paper, casting a pale glow, illuminating the room which is still messy yet full of mysterious temptation.
Number 20 walked straight towards the secret compartment. Based on the location of the mechanism that he had memorized from a sneak peek a few days ago, he groped and pressed the secret compartment with trembling hands.
With a few muffled "clicks", the secret compartment slowly opened, and a mysterious and ancient atmosphere filled the air.
His eyes lit up and he could not wait to reach in and pull out all the scrolls and ancient books. He did not care how valuable the items were and just flipped through and tore them apart. The sound of paper cracking was particularly harsh in the silent night.
Number 20 was flipping through the pages with great interest when suddenly, there was a slight noise at the door.
His heart tightened, thinking that the guards were patrolling here. In a panic, he tried to find a place to hide, but accidentally knocked over the candlestick on the desk.
"Bang!" The sound was like thunder in the quiet night.
Before he could react, the door was pushed open with great force.
Feng Chenning was seen standing at the door with a calm expression, followed by a group of guards. Under the candlelight, his cold eyes looked as if he wanted to cut No. 20 into pieces.
Number 20 collapsed to the ground in fear, still clutching half of the torn scroll in his hand. His face was as pale as paper. His usual cunningness had all turned into endless fear. He begged for mercy, stammering, "I... I was wrong, spare my life..."
Feng Chenning snorted coldly and waved his hand. The guards stepped forward and restrained number 20 like a chicken.
He lowered his head, his steps were unsteady, and he had lost all his previous arrogance. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled, and his face was still stained with tears of panic and covered in dust.
Feeling the murderous aura around Feng Chenning, No. 20 fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Girl, please spare me, I was blinded by greed, it's my fault..."
Feng Chenning walked slowly in front of No. 20 with lotus steps, looking down at him, her skirt rustling with her movements, just like dark clouds surging in the dark night, carrying with it the anger that was about to pour down.
After a long while, Feng Chenning sneered, "You capricious villain, repaying kindness with grievances, do you think I'm a compassionate place?"
Number 20 burst into tears and tried to defend herself: "I... I just want to know the truth. I want to know why the girl can stay young. I also want to change my fate. I am afraid of being bullied again. I think I can turn things around if I have a secret. Girl, please give me another chance!"
Feng Chenning laughed out of anger after hearing this, and her tone was full of naked contempt: "You still want a chance? Do you really think I'm easy to deceive? An everlasting face and a lifespan of a hundred years? This is not something you can covet..."
After saying that, Feng Chenning slowly squatted down, picked up a torn scroll at his feet, and his eyes fell on the blurry portrait, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
She then looked at No. 20, her eyes becoming colder: "Do you know how important these things are to me? Just because of your greed and recklessness, you really don't deserve to die."
Number 20 looked at the torn scroll in the heroine's hand, feeling remorseful but not daring to say anything. He could only kowtow and confess his guilt, and his forehead soon became red, swollen and cracked.
Feng Chenning stood up and turned away in disgust, no longer looking at his pitiful appearance, and ordered the guards:
"Drag him away and keep him under strict guard. When Feng Li comes back, interrogate him thoroughly. Don't show any mercy."
Although her voice was soft, the chill in her words seemed to frost the air around them.
Number 20 was shaking more and more violently, but she still didn't give up. She raised her hand and wiped her face randomly, trying to make herself look less embarrassed. She continued stumblingly, "Girl, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Feng Chenning kicked the overturned chair beside him fiercely. The chair flew far away with a clang, and wood chips flew everywhere. Number 20 was so frightened that he shut up instantly and huddled up.
Feng Chenning took a few steps forward at lightning speed, grabbed No. 20 by the collar, and lifted him up from the ground. No. 20's feet were off the ground, dangling in the air, his face full of fear, not daring to breathe.
Feng Chenning's eyes were cold and sharp, piercing straight into No. 20's evasive eyes, as if to uproot the dirty thoughts in his heart:
"You have been snooping into other people's privacy, breaking your promise, and wantonly trampling on the life I gave you. Now you are still trying to beg for forgiveness. You are really shameless."
Number 20's face turned red from being strangled by the collar. He gasped with difficulty, his eyeballs bulged out, and he struggled desperately but didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of angering Feng Chenning. He could only squeeze out a few words intermittently: "Girl... I was wrong..."
Feng Chenning sneered and threw No. 20 to the ground. No. 20 fell flat on his face and lay in the waste paper in a mess.
Before he could recover, Feng Chenning kicked him in the lower back again. With a dull sound, No. 20 cried out in pain: "Ah——!"
Number 20 rolled over on the ground in pain, holding his lower back with both hands, tears streaming down his face, wailing:
"Girl, I was really obsessed... Please give me another chance, I am willing to work like a slave to atone for my sins... I, I was really obsessed at the time, when I saw those mysterious objects in the secret compartment and thought of you, girl... I was so excited that I didn't care about anything else."
Feng Chenning sighed and pinched his brows helplessly, "Are you done?"
Number 20 collapsed to the ground with a dejected look on his face. His eyes were empty but still filled with a trace of unwillingness. He muttered softly, "But...but the girl's secret is too tempting. If it were someone else, they might do the same as me..."
Feng Chenning stood aside, frowning slightly, thinking secretly that after this incident, he was afraid that there would be no peace in the Holy Land in the future.
The secret that was discovered by No. 20 was undoubtedly like a time bomb, which would cause a huge storm again at any time and make him restless.
The guard at the side turned to look at Feng Chenning, asking what she meant. Feng Chenning shook her head slightly with a stern expression, indicating that she should proceed according to the original plan.
After No. 20 was dragged away and the crying and shouting gradually weakened, Feng Chenning made a stern phone call.
The call was connected within two minutes, and Feng Chenning said in a deep voice: "Number 20 cannot be let off easily. Imprisonment in the dungeon is only a minor punishment. You still need to interrogate him carefully to prevent him from leaking what he has seen and heard."
Feng Li nodded slightly on the other end of the phone: "What the Saint said is very true. The secret hidden in the secret compartment is extremely important. Even if a clue is revealed, it may bring disaster. During the interrogation, I will definitely use some special methods to make him dare not hide anything."
"Yeah." Feng Chenning responded softly and then hung up the phone.
She stood in the middle of the study, slowly closed her eyes, and secretly thought about the various situations that might arise and how to deal with them.
This person really deserves to die. I almost couldn't help but do it...
