The phone itself was too bulky to hide, so I only took out the SIM. I don’t know if it still works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope it still works.” Ning Zhe took the items. Feng Yushu smoothed her skirt and sat beside him, puzzled: “Why are you investigating this security guard named Tian? He’s already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To find out who’s behind the strange incident at Bishuiwan Estate,” Ning Zhe replied. “You saw Tian Chengyun’s TV interview—the estate’s supernatural events were covered up as an electrical leak. He said the same thing on camera. I want to know who made him change his story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it Yu Ziqian?” Feng Yushu frowned. Wasn’t Yu Ziqian the one chasing the Bishuiwan survivors? He’s dead now—what’s left to investigate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Yu Ziqian chased the survivors, but he didn’t release the ghosts to kill people at Bishuiwan,” Ning Zhe denied. “Use your head before you speak. Why did Yu Ziqian chase you, your daughter, and the other survivors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For Te Rang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Ziqian was dying—he was close to death. He needed Te Rang’s rules to extend his life. So he couldn’t have been the one releasing ghosts at Bishuiwan. How could he let his lifeline go out to bind others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So someone else released the ghosts at Bishuiwan—a Transcendent known as ‘Fen Wu.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe leaned back in his chair and turned his head to look at Feng Yushu, dressed in elaborate finery: “Think, Auntie. Think. Yu Ziqian chased you to get Te Rang. What did Fen Wu want by releasing ghosts to kill people in the estate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yushu’s red lips parted slightly—she finally understood: “Fen Wu… was after you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More precisely, after the ghost on you,” Ning Zhe sighed. “It might be Tai Yi. It might be Zhao You. Most likely Zhao You. Fen Wu wants Zhao You. He wants to kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Yu was just a hired hand. He was paid to seal off Bishuiwan Estate, Taoyuan City, and now Yunmengze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fen Wu is the seller of Te Rang—he’s the one who released the ghosts to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know who Fen Wu is, but he’s been lurking in the shadows, watching me. He wants to kill me and take the ghost from my corpse. He hasn’t moved yet—maybe because I’ve hidden well enough that he can’t find me quickly, or maybe he’s waiting to understand what rules I control before acting… Either way, I don’t have much time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before Fen Wu kills me, I need to uncover his identity. At the very least, I need to gather some information about him—so I won’t be completely blind when the time comes… And the closest lead I have to Fen Wu is right in front of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Chengyun, a survivor of Bishuiwan Estate, lied on camera—someone silenced him. That person is most likely Fen Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether through money or rules, the clue lies in Tian Chengyun’s memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe pinched the small SIM card between his fingers, studying it closely: “This is the key to accessing Tian Chengyun’s identity and memories.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding the “Unseeable God” and investigating the hidden Fen Wu—these are Ning Zhe’s two highest-priority tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you need me to help you with anything?” Feng Yushu asked anxiously. After surviving Yu Ziqian’s pursuit, she understood how dangerous it was to oppose a Transcendent—no room for carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet,” Ning Zhe put the SIM card in his pocket. “I’m still in the investigation phase. If I later find a lead and confirm his identity—or if I’m unlucky enough to face Fen Wu directly… then Auntie, I need you to kill him for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you. I need you to do something that will very likely get you killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Yi and Zhao You aren’t powerful enough to cause instant death, and the simulated Te Rang and Ye Yao aren’t sufficient to fight real Transcendents. Whether now or later, Ning Zhe must keep Feng Yushu tightly in his grip—she is his killing blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this blade has lost its most vital quality—the ability to remain hidden… Fen Wu once possessed Te Rang. He understands its rules. He may understand Ye Yao too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally faces Fen Wu, Feng Yushu could die at any moment—Ning Zhe’s blade could snap. So he needs two more safeguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe turned his head, locking eyes with Feng Yushu. Instantly, his pale, slender, handsome face shifted seamlessly into Yu Ziqian’s. This face, more sexually charged than Ning Zhe’s bookish student looks, was unmistakably Yu Ziqian’s—the quintessential player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Yu Ziqian’s identity, Ning Zhe deepened the mental imprint already carved into Feng Yushu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imprint’s message: “I must obey Ning Zhe without question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, Ning Zhe stood up from the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you leaving already?” Feng Yushu rose quickly, anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe turned to her: “What? You want me to stay and have dinner with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, if you’d like,” Feng Yushu nodded eagerly, staring at his unfamiliar face. “Ning Zhe, this is your first time in Yundu, right? I know several good restaurants in this mall. If you’re not too picky, I’ll treat you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not picky—but I won’t go,” Ning Zhe shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why?” Feng Yushu felt a pang of disappointment and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Book_bar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe raised his hand silently, pointing at Feng Yushu’s crimson lace-trimmed corset dress, the milky jade bracelet on her left wrist, the pearl necklace at her collarbone, the pearl earrings, the gold hairpin, the white rose diamond ring on her left ring finger, the purple crystal heels…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This outfit is too flashy. You might not notice, but earlier, several people—especially women—were sneaking glances at you. They recognize the value of your designer pieces. Being seen with you is too conspicuous,” Ning Zhe lowered his hand and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yushu’s expression stiffened slightly. She forced a smile: “Then… I’ll dress more plainly next time? Is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would be best,” Ning Zhe said, turning to leave. “See you next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him turn away without hesitation, not even a minute to spare for her, Feng Yushu bit her lip. Thick, complex emotions piled up in her chest, leaving her speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I’ll give you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t walked far when Ning Zhe suddenly remembered something and turned back. He pulled a square string of copper coins from his chest and held them out to Feng Yushu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A friend from Yundu gave me these. I’ll give you a few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Shiwen had bought the God of Wealth’s life but hadn’t spent all the coins in the coffin—he’d given Ning Zhe thirty-six coins at Ji Bochang’s funeral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhe counted out three and placed them in Feng Yushu’s palm: “These are extremely valuable. Keep them safe. Carry them on your person. Don’t let anyone see them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Feng Yushu carefully slipped the three coins into the side pocket of her waistband, storing them with great care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving Patra Mall to retrieve Tian Chengyun’s identity, Ning Zhe gave Feng Yushu another task:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you get home, find out what your husband was doing during the time you were in Gubizhen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-20T06:29:21.893Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bbe51cbec8faaf0459bc2b2f997717d65e043419dcf38460989c8bf2cd246466","survival-guide-in-a-mysterious-world-chapter-100","survival-guide-in-a-mysterious-world-chapter-98",353,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurvival-guide-in-a-mysterious-world-cover.jpg"]
