A piercing scream nearly cut through the entire corridor.
Song Taishan and his colleagues were startled, hastily exiting just before the elevator door closed.
"What’s that sound, what happened?"
Song Taishan approached Jiangli with a puzzled look and asked.
Jiangli smiled mysteriously, "Why not go and listen for yourself?"
At the sight of Jiangli’s smile, Song Taishan felt a chill down his spine, his intuition telling him that whenever the Abbot smiled like that, it could only mean trouble.
Song Taishan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, pressed his lips downward, kept his composure, raised his alertness, and led the others to Shen Miao’s home.
Seeing them head over, Xia Xin asked Jiangli in a low voice while following beside him, "Ancestor, shall we go and have a look too?"
Jiangli raised an eyebrow: "Of course, it’s a waste not to watch when there is excitement."
He felt that the Ancestor’s only two hobbies were one, eating, and two, watching the commotion.
Every time it came to watching the excitement, the Ancestor became particularly spirited.
Xia Xin was also curious about what happened at Shen Miao’s house.
So he followed closely by Jiangli and Fu Shiyan towards Shen Miao’s home.
As they approached Shen Miao’s home, they could hear Shen Miao’s horrifying, sobbing, and trembling voice continuously coming from inside the room.
"Ning, Ning Mu, how could you be here..."
Shen Miao looked at the suddenly appearing Ning Mu in front of him, got scared, flipped over to the couch, and stared at Ning Mu from afar over the couch, his face pale with fright, his pupils almost falling out.
He was just talking with Shang Junxiao, and upon looking up, saw Ning Mu walking in from the door.
He watched with his own eyes as Ning Mu walked straight through the tightly closed door.
Ning Mu was already dead.
This he was certain of.
And Ning Mu had come in through the door, so what on earth was going on...
Shen Miao suddenly understood.
Linking this to what Shang Junxiao had just said, Shen Miao was so scared that his heart almost leaped out of his chest.
His intuition told him that Ning Mu was here for vengeance.
Under the influence of Rhinoceros Horn Incense, Shang Junxiao also saw Ning Mu. He moved to the side and stealthily signaled Ning Mu with his eyes, "Ning Mu, tell me, was it him who killed you?"
Ning Mu looked at Shen Miao and saw his familiar yet strange face, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He opened his mouth, "Shen Miao..."
Upon hearing his own name, Shen Miao couldn’t help but cover his ears, bent over and curled himself as much as possible and started screaming, "Don’t, don’t, Ning Mu, don’t come over! I, I know I wronged you, I harmed you, it’s all my fault, but there’s nothing I can do now..."
"Ning Mu, you know, I’m not young anymore. It’s been so difficult to get a chance to climb up. If I don’t seize this opportunity, my life is over, I can’t go on , I just want to fulfill our shared dream, would, would you forgive me this once please..."
Shen Miao looked at Ning Mu with a pleading gaze, almost wanting to kneel before him.
Seeing him with snot and tears, Ning Mu’s heart grew sour, and he almost turned and walked away.
But at this moment, Jiangli’s voice suddenly entered his ears.
"Don’t forget what you promised me."
Ning Mu paused, and biting his teeth while looking at Shen Miao’s face, he still asked, "Just for that, you wanted to kill me? Shen Miao, don’t you have any regrets? Is it really worth killing me for that?"
Shen Miao cried: "I, I was drunk at that time... I didn’t want to kill you. I just wanted you to leave, wanted you to go away. But you never agreed, I, I really had no other way... It was so hard for Wang Ge to give me a chance. If I don’t seize this opportunity, I really can only return to my hometown, I can’t go back..."
