Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 587: Not Buying This Trick

Gucheng reacted extremely quickly. The moment the man appeared, he had already blocked in front of Jiang Ning, coldly staring at the man.

Jiang Ning grabbed Gucheng’s sleeve and peeked halfway out, looking at the man opposite, asking, “Who are you?”

“Who I am is not important.” The man casually walked over with his hands behind his back, “What’s important is what clues you guys have found.”

Jiang Ning looked him up and down: “What does it have to do with you if we find something?”

At first, she thought the other person was Mu Jian, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

It was true that Mu Jian had been dead drunk, and with the Jiang brothers watching him, it was impossible for him to return back under their watchful eyes.

This man in front of her…

Jiang Ning really wanted to see his face clearly.

But a dark cloud had obscured the moonlight, leaving only a few dim stars.

The surrounding area was pitch-black and silent.

The other party was completely shrouded in darkness, even his eyes were barely visible, making it difficult to see clearly.

His voice was even stranger, as if he was deliberately concealing his normal tone.

If it weren’t for his tall stature, it would be impossible to tell whether he was male or female, or how old he was.

From their tone, Jiang Ning could only tell that he didn’t have much hostility toward her.

The man stood still: “Of course it’s related, since everyone who sees it has a share.”

“Don’t make me laugh. If you want something, go find it yourself!”

“Oh, what would happen if I started shouting now?” The man said nonchalantly.

“Up! To! You!”

Jiang Ning really wasn’t intimidated by his threats. She grabbed Gucheng’s arm and said, “Let’s go.”

The man seemed to be taken aback by her resoluteness.

In just a moment, Gucheng had already leapt up with her and landed on the roof.

The man slowly looked up at them, seeming to have no intention of pursuing them.

Jiang Ning was suspicious and looked down at the man-

Just then, the dark cloud moved away, revealing moonlight.

Under the bright moonlight, Jiang Ning could clearly see that the man had taken out a small, shiny gong from somewhere and was holding it in his hand.

It seemed that he glanced at her, took out the gong beater leisurely-

Bang!

The loud gong sound was unbearably piercing in the night.

Jiang Ning’s body shook, her hand loosened, and she fell straight down from the roof.

Gucheng’s pupils shrank as he dove down to catch her.

Jiang Ning fell at an extreme speed.

However, the man on the ground who was striking the gong was even faster!

With one hand holding the gong, he leaped up with a single bound, caught Jiang Ning in mid-air with his other hand, and stopped her from falling.

The cloth covering Jiang Ning’s face was blown away.

The man looked down at Jiang Ning, expecting to see a flustered and helpless expression on her face, but instead saw a sly gleam in her eyes.

The man had a sinking feeling.

True enough, Jiang Ning suddenly reached out to grab the cloth on the man’s face.

It seemed that the man had been prepared, he simply tilted his head and easily avoided her hand.

Her right hand reached around his head, while her left hand grabbed the gong he was holding, swung it up to his ear, and struck it hard!

The loud bang resonated right next to the man’s ear.

The intense sound made the man’s head numb, almost losing all sensation in his five senses.

Taking advantage of this slight distraction, Jiang Ning threw the gong away, turned around in his arms, hugged his neck with one hand, and swiftly pulled off his cloth with the other!

The handsome yet slightly gloomy face was revealed in the moonlight without a doubt!

Jiang Ning laughed triumphantly: “Li Hongyuan, it’s really you!”
