Chapter 648: Playing God and Playing Ghost 1

Jin Wan'er raised her head, staring at her aunt in shock.

Ji Yingjie: "That's right, the bracelet is with me." She revealed the object in her palm; it was shiny, but she withdrew it before Jin Wan'er could see it clearly.

"After you return with me, I will give it back to you."

"Give it back to me, that is my thing."

Jin Wan'er wanted to go up and snatch it, but she was blocked by the guards before she could even get close, unable to approach.

Ji Yingjie turned back and sneered: "Having stayed outside for too long, you've even lost the mettle of the Clan. It's just a lousy bracelet given by a man, yet you treat it like a treasure. A real treasure is placed right in front of you, and you won't even take a look. It seems you need to be properly educated, lest the child you give birth to ends up as useless as you!"

"Oh, right! No one from the outside has searched their way here; the voice you heard was merely your hallucination."

"No!"

Jin Wan'er was streaming with tears, arguing loudly.

"What you said is wrong, I heard my husband's voice just now, truly and clearly. It was him who came to look for me, it couldn't possibly be a hallucination..."

How could it be a hallucination?

The voice just now was truly and clearly her husband calling her; she heard it very distinctly.

"Hmph!"

Ji Yingjie gave a cold snort: "Come back with me, you can have any kind of man you want; changing one every day is not a problem."

Jin Wan'er:...

Although the woman in front of her was an aunt with a blood relation, her views were truly too bizarre.

Jin Wan'er hated her now, especially hated her.

She did not want to believe a single word from that woman, even though she had a face similar to her own, and even though that woman was the relative she had been searching for but could never find.

But now, Jin Wan'er hated her!

What kind of lousy relative, it would be better to have none at all.

It would be better if she were a real kidnapper; at least a kidnapper wants money, and she believed that no matter how much was asked, her husband would pay to redeem her.

But Ji Yingjie did not want money, she only wanted the person!

Jin Wan'er did not want to be any Clan Leader, she only wanted to go back and reunite with her family.

Having finally managed to get out once and hang the bracelet on the reeds, this was her only remaining hope, but now even this bit of hope was gone. Jin Wan'er was in total despair, tears streaming down incessantly.

Ji Yingjie's room.

She was not as calm as she had appeared just now, but was pacing back and forth in the room.

Her face was anxious and furious.

"Bastards, useless things, trash!"

"When turning on the ventilation, you actually turned on the loudspeaker. What use do I have for you? It would be better to raise a dog!"

"Bang!"

The last piece of porcelain in the room was smashed, matching the mess on the floor.

When Jin Wan'er hung the bracelet, the surveillance did not capture it.

But when Jian Yining discovered the bracelet, it was captured by the surveillance!

She had made a timely remedy, preparing a similar bracelet, and it was actually put to use, making Jin Wan'er mistakenly believe her only hope was gone.

The servant who went out with Jin Wan'er was now kneeling on the floor, shivering.

The servant who managed the ventilation had already been dealt with.

And the servant who accompanied Jin Wan'er out had not yet been dealt with, because she was a long-time worker and usually enjoyed Ji Yingjie's trust, which was why she was given one chance to make amends—kneeling before the Clan Leader to beg for mercy.

"Clan Leader, please do not drive me away, I am willing to do anything to make up for my mistake."

Because when she accompanied the Young Master out, she did not discover the Young Master hanging the bracelet on the reeds, which was why it was discovered by Jian Yining. Now there was only Jian Yining alone up there, and most of the people had already left.

But leaving meant finding more people and using more tools to search for people here!

With just a few people, Ji Yingjie had the confidence to keep them from discovering the underground Architecture, but if there were many people, it would be hard to say.

The words they discussed in the Swamp just now were transmitted to Ji Yingjie through the surveillance without missing a single word.

She had poured too much of her heart and blood into this place; it absolutely must not be discovered by outsiders!

A flash of triumph crossed Ji Yingjie's face.

"Get up, don't kneel on the ground, it's damp here, not like at home." She gently helped the person kneeling on the ground up, and the servant shook even more violently than before.

The Clan Leader's methods were known to everyone in the Clan.

Now that she was suddenly gentle, it definitely meant nothing good.

She was scared to death.

Ji Yingjie said nonchalantly: "You said just now that you were willing to do anything for the Clan; were you serious or just saying it casually?"

"Clan Leader, please see clearly, I am serious. For the Clan, I am willing to do anything."

"Good, go out and scare those few people away, do it cleanly and efficiently."

Servant:...

She "thumped" and knelt on the ground again, crying and begging for mercy: "Clan Leader, I, I, I... I dare not!"

Ji Yingjie's face darkened: "You just said you were willing to do anything for the Clan, and now you aren't even willing to do this small thing. Since you can't do it, don't make promises. You know what kind of people I hate the most."

"Clan Leader, please don't be angry, it's not that I don't agree, I'm just afraid that I won't do well the thing you arranged, and you will drive me out!" The servant was trembling as if she were sifting chaff.

She had never had contact with people outside the Clan since she was born; now, being asked to face the men from Jiangzhou directly, she was indeed terrified.

"Alright, you go out, no need to say anything more. Don't appear in front of me again in the future, I don't want to see you again either."

Begging was useless. Seeing that she was about to be dragged out of the room, the servant finally made up her mind and shouted: "I agree, I will go, I will scare him away."

Ji Yingjie had people let her go and came before her: "You had better think it through before making a decision. You know I hate people who go back on their word and don't keep their promises the most."

……

Swamp.

The sky, which was clear and bright just a moment ago, is now overcast with dark clouds, as if it could rain at any time.

This place feels strange everywhere.

However, he is not discouraged; having found Wan'er's bracelet, Wan'er must be nearby.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, don't be afraid, I've come to save you. No matter where you are, I will definitely find you."

"Whoosh—"

The sound of wind?

A very strange sound of wind!

He looks up and sees a tornado blowing in from the distance, pitch black.

A tornado in the Swamp?

Jian Yining did not see wrong; it is indeed a tornado, and it is blowing specifically toward him alone!

If it were an ordinary person, seeing such a bizarre event, they would have run away in a heartbeat.

But Jian Yining stands still, not even dodging.

Mainly because there is nowhere to hide.

"Whoosh—" The wind blows past.

He discovers that while this wind looks very frightening, its actual power is not that great!

It seems just like a movie special effect.

Jian Yining laughs at himself for thinking this; he must be muddled from the anxiety of his wife going missing.

All sorts of strange and bizarre thoughts are popping up.

There isn't even a soul here, so how could anyone be filming a movie?

Jian Yining never dreamed that he had guessed correctly!

Fifty meters away from him, a woman is hiding sneakily in the reeds, operating a machine in her hands to control the direction of the wind.

Of course, such a large project is not something she could accomplish alone.

At her location, there is a wind power outlet, and everything is controlled from underground; she is merely mastering the direction of the tornado from the surface.

The first attempt failed, so she tries again.

Thus, Jian Yining miraculously discovers—the tornado has returned!
