Chapter 1937: A Girl With A Superpower

Sze Lingyun’s eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils constricted.

What did her idol mean?

“Please retrieve it for me.”

Nangong Nuannuan was her savior. Nuannuan had even said ‘please’, so Sze Lingyun could not care less that the Nuannuan had seen through her superpower. With a flip of her hand, a brocade box appeared in Sze Lingyun’s hand.

Wu Jingzhong’s arrest was a huge blow to Elder Wu, so he only had time to say a few words to Nangong Nuannuan.

Although Wu Pingting was standing beside Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang, it was because of her uncle. She wanted to know how her uncle was doing, but his attention was fixated on her grandfather.

Therefore, only Chi Yang heard Nangong Nuannuan’s words. He was the only one who saw the brocade box appear in Sze Lingyun’s hand after his wife made her request.

Chi Yang glanced at Sze Lingyun, then at the room on the second floor.

Although he could use his special ability to control objects, he could only manipulate objects that he could see. Sze Lingyun likely did not have X-ray vision, but she was able to manipulate objects far outside her field of vision with minimal effort. Without even having to think, Chi Yang realized Sze Lingyun was a girl with a superpower.

“Put it in your bag. Don’t take it out.”

“Okay.” Sze Lingyun nodded. Knowing that this thing probably concerned Wu Jingzhong’s reputation and future, she hurriedly hid the brocade box in her bag.

“Elder Wu, let’s go and see what they found during their search.”

Elder Wu was still discussing Wu Jingzhong’s matter with his children and grandchildren when he heard Nangong Nuannuan call out for him. She wanted him to go inside and take a look at the situation. Noticing the sardonic smile on Nangong Nuannuan’s lips, Elder Wu knew that something must have happened inside.

His son was doing well. He had a net worth of ten billion, though could not spend most of his money. He often supported children from the mountainous areas and did charity work. He could not possibly have done what they had accused him of. Thus, Elder Wu knew that Nangong Nuannuan was definitely not mocking the Wu family—she was mocking the police.

“Let’s go.”

Without thinking, Elder Wu called his son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter into the villa.

Nangong Nuannuan went up to the second floor and straight to the third room facing the south lawn.

The captain of the police, Zhou Wei, and his two subordinates were standing in the room with unsightly expressions.

This was a study, though it would perhaps be better described as a sundry room. It not only contained many types of books, but also a piano, calligraphy tools, and paintings. There were dozens of children’s toys scattered around, too.

The room had been rudely ransacked by the three police officers. The entire room was extremely messy. Even its two bookshelves had been completely removed.

Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan was the first to enter, Zhou Wei coughed awkwardly until he saw Elder Wu enter behind her. Only then did he speak. “Elder Wu, can you explain why there’s a secret compartment under the floor of your bookshelf? And why is there nothing in this secret compartment?”

Old Wu’s eyes narrowed when he saw the secret compartment, but his expressionless face did not betray any emotion.

He did not answer. Instead, he asked, “Police officer, my house covers an area of 80 acres and includes three separate buildings. One of them is the main house, which you’re currently searching, and the other two are secondary buildings.”
