The prince is very cruel

Chapter 401

"Keep your voice down and don't attract anyone."

"What are you afraid of? No one dares to come over. Besides, your second brother is not in the house. He hasn't found out for all these years. He still thinks Chang'er is his child!"

“Hahaha… come on!”

Hearing this, Guan Ning, who was eavesdropping at the stairs, exploded and stood there in a daze, feeling so shocked that he was soft inside and soft on the outside!

This is just... too messy, right?

It took Guan Ning a long time to come back to his senses and smooth his hair.

The man was Zheng Congwu, the third son of the Zheng family, and the woman was his second sister-in-law, the wife of Zheng Congwen, the second son of the Zheng family. The two were having an affair.

He couldn't help but look up curiously. The man was a burly man in his early thirties with an average appearance.

The woman was indeed still charming, with fair skin and good looks, but she was the type who had an affair and was shameless.

That scene is so disgusting!

Nobles, what a mess!

Guan Ning despised them from the bottom of his heart. He had come here to scout the place, but accidentally ran into the scandal within the Zheng family. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and a plan came to his mind.

Looking at the two people having a secret love affair, Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sly smile. Then he took away an embroidered shoe scattered on the stairs and finally retreated quietly.

Of course, he did not leave the Tower of Longevity directly, but went up from another road, wanting to look for the clues he wanted.

The higher you go, the more different the scenes become.

In some places, a large number of stone tablets are erected, in some places, there are countless incense sticks, and some floors even place various ancient books that are worthy of being recorded in history. They are treasures of ancient farming and industry, and are more like collection rooms.

These things are priceless, but Guan Ning has no interest in them.

What he wanted was to bring disgrace to the entire Zheng family, or to find some evidence that could be used. He couldn't bring down the Zheng family, but there was always someone who could!

He had planned to visit all 32 floors, but unfortunately, just when he reached the twelfth floor, the patrolman came back!

Guan Ning was almost discovered, and the thrill was no less than a desperate escape!

Finally, he relied on his ability to hang on the wall, hid above his head, and narrowly avoided the patrol officers, thus escaping.

Not long after, he chose to leave.

After all, I'm a newcomer and I'm not familiar with the place yet. If I go too deep and alert the enemy, it will be troublesome.

It was already late at night when we returned to the inn.

"call."

Guan Ning climbed in through the window, exhaled a long breath, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a big gulp, before he calmed down.

"Damn, that was too dangerous just now."

"If you react even a second slower, you'll be discovered."

Then he narrowed his eyes. "Oh, with watchtowers, trap stakes, patrols, hunting dogs, and many experts stationed there, and the Tower of Immortality, what kind of secret is the Zheng family trying to hide?"

He talked to himself. Although he didn't find anything, he already felt that the Tower of Longevity was not simple.

Then, he took out the embroidered shoe from his arms, thought of the scene he had accidentally witnessed, and gradually came up with a plan for his next step.

Just when he was about to take a shower and go to bed, suddenly.

Bang bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the inn without any warning.

Guan Ning's whole body tensed up instantly, and he reached for the knife at his waist almost reflexively. He didn't know anyone in Xingyang except Yan Qing. Who could it be at this late hour?

He didn't make a sound, but locked the door, and the air seemed to be suffocating!

"Hey, sir, I just heard some noise. I know you're not asleep. Don't be afraid. I'm from the inn, not a bad person."

"Excuse me, could you please open the door so I can come in and talk?" asked the person at the door.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes and recognized the voice. It was the waiter who greeted him during the day.

"It's so late, what are we talking about?" He slowly put the knife down and relaxed a little.

"Sir, please open the door first, and you will know it naturally after opening it." The waiter said with an ambiguous smile.

Guan Ning hesitated for a moment, but still chose to open the door.

The person standing at the door was the waiter from the daytime, with a smile on his face and no ill intentions. He held up a lamp and looked around at the dark corridor like a thief.
