Chapter 249: Showing Weakness to the Enemy

After leaving the hospital, Ning Zhe met Lan Shiwen in the VIP lounge on the 12th floor of the Yunding Building. When he arrived, he saw an airship parked on the roof.

"Drinking tea?" Lan Shiwen sat by the coffee table, boiling water and washing cups.

Ning Zhe walked up and smelled it: "Your tea-brewing technique is much better than that unlucky daughter of Ji Bochang."

"This can't be considered praising me." The water boiled. Lan Shiwen scalded a pot of tea, poured half a cup for each of them, and said: "Tell me, what do you plan to do next."

Ning Zhe thought for a moment, spent a few seconds organizing his language, and said: "You know, Fen Wu and I have a grudge, a life-and-death grudge where only one can survive. Either he dies, or I perish. There is no other choice."

"So you plan to find Fen Wu and then kill him?" Lan Shiwen picked up the teacup and sipped: "Then I'm afraid I can't help. You've clashed with Fen Wu, you know better than me how difficult this person is to deal with."

"That's the worst strategy." Ning Zhe shook his head, put the teacup to his lips to blow it cool, and continued: "First of all, my condition is not very good now. Finding trouble with Fen Wu in this state is inevitably falling into a lower position. Secondly, even if my condition were good, I don't plan to be led by the nose by him."

"Your condition is not good?" Lan Shiwen frowned slightly. This didn't conform to common sense.

Ning Zhe had just harnessed a strange that could complement himself. The old defects had been compensated, and the new defects had not yet manifested. This was the time when a Gridder had the least worries. The further back, as the new defects increasingly manifested, the condition would only get worse.

"I can't tell you the details about this." Ning Zhe didn't say anything more: "In short, my condition is not very good now, and I won't take the initiative to find trouble with Fen Wu."

After harnessing Jueyuan, Taiyi's defects were compensated. Ning Zhe no longer had to worry about the impact and shaking of others' memories on his self-consciousness, but at the same time, he also lost the most important thing that allowed him to live until now.

That was reason.

Jueyuan would intensify people's emotions, extremize the things recognized, and make people become paranoid. This was the rule of the thought steel seal. This rule helped Ning Zhe anchor his self, and at the same time, it also made him lose the ability to think with absolute rational thinking to a certain extent. The pros and cons were hard to say.

"A Gridder who harnesses Jueyuan will become paranoid, and paranoia is the enemy of reason. I am very impulsive, irritable, and sensitive now, and it's hard to pull back ten cows once I've recognized something... This state is very dangerous, especially in the current environment."

Ning Zhe knew very well that what allowed him to survive until now in this world full of strange was that inhuman reason and indifference.

After losing these, what was left of him?

The paranoia in his heart made it difficult for him to think as calmly and rationally as before. This was fatal. Forcibly fighting with others in an irrational state was seeking death.

"Fen Wu is the Gridder closest to the path of ascension, perhaps without one." Ning Zhe took a sip of tea and continued: "His hard power is far stronger than mine, and I am in a very poor condition now. Forcibly showing off in a state of absolute weakness is the worst strategy."

"So what do you mean?"

"Show weakness to the enemy, avoid his edge." Ning Zhe put down the teacup and smiled: "Simply put, one word: run."

"Where do you want to go?" Lan Shiwen's expression became subtle.

"Wherever is far." Ning Zhe crossed his fingers and said: "Haven't you always wanted me to go to Europa to be a spy and kill people for you? I didn't want to go before, but now I've changed my mind."

Van Dai Ke, a powerful noble of the Europa Federation, a Marquis of the Dai Ke family—going for a walk in a foreign land in the identity of this person would surely yield quite a few benefits. Developing stealthily, waiting for the opportunity—this was what Ning Zhe was going to do next.

"Okay, I understand." Lan Shiwen nodded: "Van Dai Ke's Granted prop will be sent to me later. When do you plan to set off?"

"Today." Bidding farewell to Lan Shiwen, Ning Zhe left the Yunding Building and returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying in Yundu.

Opening the door, Xia Yubing was lying on the sofa with her phone, not knowing what she was tinkering with. Seeing him return, she hurriedly stood up and walked to Ning Zhe: "Are you done with your business?"

"Temporarily done." Ning Zhe glanced at her hand and asked: "What are you doing again?"

"Chatting with someone." Xia Yubing showed him the phone screen. On WeChat, there was a person remarked as 'Mrs. Shen': "Remember that deep-feeling brother? The one who went into Zuanju Town with me for a live broadcast, named Shen Qing."

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's just... Shen Qing died in Zuanju Town, right? He has old and young at home, and he was the pillar of the family. As a result, he folded in the strange event. His wife is pregnant, and the old people are also sick. Without a source of income, how will this family live in the future?"

Xia Yubing said, sliding the chat record between her and Mrs. Shen to him: "That live broadcast was originally a game set up by Jiang Han and the others to accompany me. Now that the person is dead, I feel a bit sorry, so I want to help out a bit, transferring some money to pay for medical expenses or something..."

"You're not bad." Ning Zhe looked at her with admiration, but reminded her: "You can dispose of your own money yourself, I won't interfere. But I want to remind you, even if you want to be kind and do good, it's best to transfer the money to the old people's account, or directly to the hospital, don't give it to his wife."

"Eh? Why?" Xia Yubing felt a bit confused.

Ning Zhe looked up at her clear and stupid eyes, sighed, and said: "In my hometown, there was a coal miner surnamed Li who unfortunately encountered a mine disaster. The person was gone. His wife was pregnant at the time, and the old people at home were also in poor health. The media reported this, and the coal boss paid a lot of compensation to his family."

"... Do you know what happened later?" Ning Zhe asked again.

Xia Yubing shook her head blankly.

"Later, his wife took all the compensation, aborted the child in her stomach, and ran away with the money, leaving the two old people sick and poor. His father is still a low-income household in the village until today, and his mother froze to death last winter." Ning Zhe's mouth curled slightly, his smile light and indifferent: "When his father dies, this family will be extinct."

Xia Yubing opened her eyes wide, dumbfounded: "How, how could she be like this..."

How could there be such a person in the world?

"Novels need reasonable plots, while reality doesn't need logic." Ning Zhe walked to the window and said softly: "I didn't say this to blame you for anything. Having a kind heart and wanting to do good deeds, I think this is very good, but it's best to pay attention to the method."

"Okay..." Xia Yubing nodded: "Then I'll transfer the money to his mother's bank card. By the way, you were in such a hurry to come to Yundu today, what are you going to do?"

Ning Zhe pointed out the window with his finger. Xia Yubing looked in the direction he pointed. On the roof of the Yunding Building in the distance, an airship was parked, printed with a rose crest with thorns.

That was the family crest of the Dai Ke family.

"Are you interested in going abroad for a honeymoon with me?" Ning Zhe asked.

"Yes, yes!" Xia Yubing smiled and hugged his shoulders, lowering her head and kissing Ning Zhe on the face: "Hmph, I thought you wouldn't be enlightened..."

Sure enough, you were still conquered by this lady's charm, right?
