Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Bringing Her Home to Keep as a Mistress
After sending Bai Wenjing away, Ningwan said, "He must know something and is deliberately concealing it."
Zhan Hanjue lowered his voice and said, "Wu has already sent someone to follow him."
Ningwan curved her lips, "Smart."
"However, someone doesn’t want you to stay in Tong City. Who could it be?" Ningwan asked again.
The man looked at her with deep eyes.
Ningwan immediately raised her hand and said, "I can swear, it’s definitely not Xie Mingyu this time. Xie Mingyu told me to get lost and doesn’t want to see me now, let alone care about whether you stay here."
"Why did he suddenly tell you to get lost?" the man asked curiously.
Ningwan chuckled awkwardly.
After all, it involved Xie Mingyu’s privacy. Even though he was Zhan Hanjue, she couldn’t reveal it casually.
Must have medical ethics.
"Just a little accident happened, so we fell out. Now I’m homeless. What should I do, Mr. Zhan, would you be willing to take me in?"
Ningwan winked at Zhan Hanjue.
The man curved his lips and pulled her over, pressing her onto the bed, and said, "Continue, and I’ll take you in."
After speaking, he leaned down and kissed her.

Bai Wenjing left the hotel and immediately took out his phone to make a call, furiously demanding, "Where are you right now?"
"Bro, why are you so angry? I’m busy."
"You’re busy, my ass. Busy researching Chasing Silk to harm people?"
Bai Wenjing, who is usually so refined, couldn’t help but curse.
The person on the other end was obviously surprised that his usually refined and kind-hearted brother could actually swear.
After a moment of shock, he laughed and said, "Bro, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"Bai Qishu, don’t play dumb with me. You know what I mean." Bai Wenjing scolded again.
Bai Qishu’s attitude turned serious and he calmly said, "Bro, I really don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m not playing dumb. I’ve been working seriously all this time. The formula for Chasing Silk was destroyed long ago, and the only poison was also destroyed. I’m a liberal arts student, how could I research a new formula?"
"Bai Qishu, it better not be you. The person poisoned is not an ordinary person. If it really turns out to be you, I can’t protect you." Bai Wenjing angrily hung up the phone.
On the other side, a fair-skinned, delicate-looking man heard the "beep beep beep" on the phone, knowing the call was hung up, sighed softly, and disdainfully threw the phone aside.
He was in a basement.
The basement was filled with various bottles and jars, clearly a place for research.
Moreover, there was a pungent smell, indicating it was a place for drug research.
He had been there for over a month, but there was little progress.
The next day, a beautiful woman walked in.
Bai Qishu’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the beautiful woman, smiling broadly as he walked towards her.
"What are you doing here? This place smells so bad; you should hurry upstairs."
"How’s the research going?" the woman asked.
Bai Qishu said, "Still researching."
The woman frowned unhappily, "Does it have to take so long?"
Bai Qishu explained, "It’s not that I’m incapable; it’s that your requirements are too high. You want it colorless and tasteless; that’s something out of a fantasy novel. Ordinary drugs can’t be colorless and tasteless. Once drugs are mixed in, even if there’s no color, there must be a taste. Most people can’t smell it, but she is Bai Zhi, she will surely detect it. Moreover, I’ve heard she grew up around medicine, so ordinary drugs don’t affect her because of her strong resistance. Researching something colorless, tasteless, and potent is extremely difficult."
"Precisely because it’s difficult, we came to you. Otherwise, why would I come to you?" the beautiful woman said displeasedly.
Bai Qishu was thrilled, taking her comments as a compliment.
Confidently and passionately, he swore, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely work hard on the research. Our Bai Family is a family of poison makers. If our ancestors could do it, I can too, for you."
The woman curved her lips, looking at his confident demeanor, lightly placing a hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "I knew I didn’t choose wrongly. You can definitely do it. Keep it up."
"Yes, keep it up."
Watching the woman’s enchanting figure as she left, Bai Qishu felt invigorated and quickly returned to his research.
After the woman went up, a girl ran over to her side, softly reporting, "Zhan Hanjue went back to Jiangcheng, but he took Ningwan with him."
"What? Ningwan went back too? How is that possible? Would Xie Mingyu agree to let her go?"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately frowned.
The girl said, "I don’t know how it happened, but they went back together. Right now, Ningwan is staying in an apartment downtown."
"Old Mrs. Zhan doesn’t know about this yet, does she?" the woman asked coldly.
The girl said, "She definitely doesn’t know, or there would be a commotion by now."
"Then let her know," the woman said. "It’s better if things get messy. Let’s see what Zhan Hanjue chooses between a woman and his family."
In the afternoon, Old Mrs. Zhan learned about Ningwan’s return.
The information was leaked by Mrs. Leng.
Mrs. Leng came over, sarcastically revealing how Zhan Hanjue brought Ningwan back and kept her hidden in luxury.
"Your grandson is truly well-educated by you. Two-faced, capable of anything. I thought he was indifferent to me as his aunt, but to even defy your wishes shows that you’ve raised a real ingrate, just like his birth mother."
Old Mrs. Zhan was so angry she was shaking all over.
After Mrs. Leng left, she immediately scolded Mrs. Chen, "What about Old Chen who was supposed to follow Hanjue? How come such a big thing wasn’t reported? Investigate, hurry up, I want to know where that woman is immediately."
Mrs. Chen trembled with fear and quickly nodded.
While calling Old Chen, she also sent someone to find Ningwan’s address.
After getting through to Old Chen, she scolded him fiercely.
Old Chen felt wronged, "The Young Master ordered me not to leak it, you know his temperament. Defying his wishes wouldn’t be good for me either."
Mrs. Chen couldn’t continue scolding.
True, neither this grandson nor that grandfather is easy to serve.
Comparatively, the old lady here is easier to deal with.
"Alright, alright, I know, it’s difficult for you in front of the Young Master too. Don’t worry, the old lady surely won’t have you follow the Young Master anymore."
Mrs. Chen hung up the call.
Soon, the address where Ningwan was staying was found out as well.
After informing Old Mrs. Zhan, she immediately gathered people and angrily went over.
Jin Yingzi happened to come over, intending to give Old Mrs. Zhan a massage.
Old Mrs. Zhan, with no mood for a massage, left with a sullen face leading people away.
"What’s going on?" Jin Yingzi asked, grabbing a servant.
The servant whispered, "The old lady found out that the Young Master brought Young Madam... Miss Ye back, and she’s furious, leading people to find Miss Ye."
Jin Yingzi frowned.
Letting go of the servant, she took out her phone and sent a text message.
