Chapter 46 

Tuan Tuan stayed at Zong Ye’s house, and Jian Ning visited him every afternoon after class, returning to the dormitory in the evening. Terry, in the same class, kept an eye on Allen, noticing that he was unusually quiet after that night, completely unlike his usual style.

Terry privately whispered to Jian Ning, advising him to be cautious when meeting Tuan Tuan, so as not to be discovered by Allen.

One day, after class ended early, Jian Ning went to the villa again. When she entered, there was already a guest in the living room, Prince Lan Nuo.

Lan Nuo looked at Tuan Tuan playing with a yarn ball on the sofa, pulling the butler aside and asked with curiosity, “Second Uncle has dated so many people, and finally got a cub. Who is the cub’s father? Did he leave the cub to Second uncle, take money and leave, or demand Second Uncle to marry into our family?”

Because Tuan Tuan didn’t eat the candy-like pills that could disguise his form in the Zong family, his pure white fur clearly indicated his Zong family lineage.

Abel, annoyed by his questions, quickly let Jian Ning sit on the sofa and went to the kitchen to prepare the fruit juice she liked.

Seeing Jian Ning, Lan Nuo was surprised, staring with round eyes. Tuan Tuan dropped the yarn ball, affectionately nestled in his arms, and ran to the kitchen to ask Abel, “Is he the cub’s father? But he has connections with Eldest Uncle. How can he also have connections with Second Uncle ?!”

When they reached a secluded grove with no one around, Jian Ning was stopped by someone.

“Brother, didn’t expect to see you here,” Fang Tian blocked Jian Ning, speaking softly.

Jian Ning didn’t expect Fang Tian to find out so quickly. He pondered how Fang Tian discovered it and casually said, “You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t know you.”

Fang Tian frowned, looking at him. “Brother, the stationed chief has been removed. Weiss and his family’s past deeds have been exposed. Weiss is no longer a threat. You don’t need to worry about being recognized, and there’s no need to continue pretending.”

Jian Ning coldly looked at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” After saying that, he tried to leave, but Fang Tian grabbed his wrist.

“Brother, there’s no one else here. You don’t need to pretend not to know me. When you see me here, don’t you want to ask about how Mom and Dad are, why I came to Emperor Star?” Fang Tian held onto him, his voice gradually resentful. “Because of you, our family has nothing left. I should have been studying here, but Weiss’s family vented their anger on us because of you, making me lose the opportunity to enter the academy. But here you are, studying as if nothing happened. Can you justify the years of nurturing from Mom and Dad?”

Jian Ning’s throat moved. He really wanted to tell him that if it wasn’t for his mother’s twisted intentions, for money, destroying the locks in their home, allowing Weiss to enter their home at midnight, none of this would have happened. The so-called nurturing disappeared the night the original owner was driven out of the house and died.

“Enough talking?” He said nothing more, just coldly staring.

However, Fang Tian still held onto his wrist. Jian Ning vaguely sensed something wrong; he felt his wrist becoming numb, and the numbness was slowly spreading to his body.

He struggled, but Fang Tian suddenly lunged forward and tightly embraced him.

His body began to lose sensation, unable to move his hands and feet, unable to speak, with only his mind remaining clear. Jian Ning gritted his teeth, wondering what Fang Tian was up to.

Lan Nuo watched from a distance as the two seemed to be arguing. Thinking it was just a disagreement between classmates, he had initially planned to ignore it and find Xue Lei. However, he saw Fang Tian holding onto Jian Ning without letting go.

What’s going on with Jian Ning? He already has a child with his uncle, why is he so intimate with someone else? Lan Nuo felt a bit uneasy, walking towards them and shouting, “Jian Ning, what are you doing?”

Seeing that Jian Ning couldn’t move, Fang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He messaged Allen and Carter, then held onto Jian Ning’s arm, pretending that he was drunk. The plan was to wait for Allen and Carter to arrive and take Jian Ning out of the academy together. When Lan Nuo approached, Fang Tian was startled, and his grip on Jian Ning stiffened.

Jian Ning, however, felt a glimmer of hope. He moved his eyes slightly, signaling for help from Lan Nuo.

“Why are your eyes twitching?” Lan Nuo, oblivious to the situation, didn’t notice and casually asked Fang Tian, “Who are you, and why were you hugging him just now?”

Fang Tian’s palms were sweating, and he forced a calm tone, “I’m his younger brother, here to take him back to the dorm.”

“Younger brother?” Jian Ning has a younger brother in the academy? Lan Nuo was puzzled, noticing Jian Ning’s strange posture, he asked, “Why does he look like he’s drunk?”

Realizing something was wrong, Lan Nuo frowned and questioned Fang Tian, “What did you do to him?” He then pulled Jian Ning away from Fang Tian, and as footsteps approached from behind, Lan Nuo turned, only to be sprayed in the face with mist.

In the dense mist, he could only see a face covered with a mask. Losing consciousness, he collapsed onto Jian Ning.

This prince’s reaction is too slow, Jian Ning thought with some sarcasm before losing consciousness.

When he woke up again, it was in a damp and dim place, resembling a prison cell, with no visible exit.

Jian Ning lay on the ground, not knowing what potent substance Fang Tian had applied to his hands. Except for his head, the rest of his body couldn’t move. With the faint light from a few beads on the wall, he could see Lan Nuo lying not far from him, motionless and possibly still unconscious.

Fang Tian’s actions must have someone backing him. Although he didn’t know their motive for capturing him, Jian Ning couldn’t stay here. Taking advantage of the lack of guards, he needed to escape quickly.

Jian Ning struggled to move his fingers, sweating on his forehead. Finally, his fingers twitched. Over the next twenty minutes, most of his body regained mobility, and he managed to get up from the ground.

“Lan Nuo.” Jian Ning rubbed his somewhat numb right leg and staggered towards Lan Nuo, sitting beside him and trying to shake him awake. Perhaps due to the excessive amount of sprayed substance, Lan Nuo remained unresponsive.

Having no choice but to leave him behind for now, Jian Ning began searching for an exit.

After circling the area, Jian Ning realized that it was like a cave, and the exit was tightly sealed. There was only a small ventilation opening.

Time was of the essence; he had to get out immediately. Not knowing when those who captured them would return, Jian Ning anxiously looked for a way out in the cave. Suddenly, he noticed some cracks and small plants in the cave’s fissures and on the ground.

Because of the darkness without sunlight, the plants looked weak. Jian Ning found the two thickest ones, focused his mental energy, and made them grow, penetrating the ventilation opening and cracks.

The destructive power of plants was remarkable. Jian Ning commanded the two plants to grow along the ventilation opening and cracks. Soon, the cracks in the rock wall grew larger, and stones fell from the ventilation opening. Ten minutes later, the morning sunlight poured in.

Jian Ning felt rejuvenated and concentrated even harder, waiting until the rock wall had a gap large enough for him to pass through. He then stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and rushed to check on Lan Nuo. Finding him still unconscious, Jian Ning couldn’t leave him behind.

After some thought, he broke off a branch from one of the grown plants, tied one end to Lan Nuo’s legs, and held the other end in his hand. He dragged Lan Nuo through the opening.

The plant branch hadn’t withered yet, and Jian Ning could still control it to pull Lan Nuo. Although Lan Nuo was quite heavy, it didn’t take much effort to drag him.

Outside was a lush mountain forest, indicating it was probably just dawn. Dewdrops covered the grass and leaves. Jian Ning didn’t know where he was, so he relied on luck, choosing a direction and dragging Lan Nuo away as far as possible.

Lan Nuo woke up in confusion, and the first thing he saw was the leaves flickering above and the small birds perched on the branches. He mumbled, “Hmm, the scenery is quite nice.” The ground beneath him felt uncomfortably cold and uneven, with damp grass occasionally brushing against his cheeks. As the surroundings receded, he blinked, fully awakening to the realization that he was being dragged on the ground.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh,” he struggled to get up, only to discover in terror that he couldn’t move anything except his head. Unable to speak clearly, he could only utter vague cries.

Furious, Lan Nuo wondered, What on earth did that damn guy spray on me?! Smoke seemed to emanate from his frustration.

Upon hearing the “Ugh, ugh, ugh” behind him, Jian Ning turned around, saw Lan Nuo awake, and quickly stopped, squatting down to look at him. Expectantly, she asked, “Can you get up?”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh,” he lamented, unable to rise! Lan Nuo expressed his despair with a pained voice.

Jian Ning looked disappointed, turned her head to glance around, and without much hope, asked, “Do you know where we are?”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh,” Lan Nuo gestured with his eyes for Jian Ning to help him up. In his current position on the ground, even his own family wouldn’t recognize him.

Understanding his gaze, Jian Ning helped him up. Lan Nuo looked around and his eyes lit up. He had been to this place during his training.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh,” he acknowledged, crazy-eyed, towards Jian Ning.

“Which way to go?” After Jian Ning asked, and seeing Lan Nuo pointing to the right, he put him back on the ground and continued dragging him in that direction.

Lan Nuo stared at Jian Ning’s back, feeling utterly helpless. Unable to move and with Jian Ning’s petite frame unable to carry him, this was the best way to bring him along. Dragged on the uneven mountain path, enduring the painful rocks beneath him and the itchy grass occasionally brushing his nose, Lan Nuo gritted his teeth and vowed to kill the two guys who dared to capture him.
