Chapter 217 Abandoned Villa

In the following narration, Xu Nian finally understood the truth from his wife's mouth, and the haze in his heart completely dissipated.

Thinking of the day when he reluctantly killed Little Baseball in the body of a demigod, he finally felt less guilty.

In fact, in a sense, the son who was sleeping soundly in front of him was the reincarnation of Little Baseball.

While thinking, the switch of the shop outside rang.

Xu Nian was stunned, but still got up and walked out of the inner room and pulled the switch.

It was Zuo Qiuyue, whom he had not seen for a day.

Zuo Qiuyue smiled after seeing Xu Nian: "How was your rest?"

Xu Nian rolled his eyes, made her a cup of tea, sat on the sofa, and said: "Just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Zuo Qiuyue moved a chair and sat down, took a sip of the teacup, and sighed: "Good tea!"

Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry, Xu Nian was naturally less anxious, and lit a cigarette and smoked it.

The pungent smell of nicotine slowly emerged in the shop.

Smoke rings floated in the air one after another.

Zuoqiu Yue seemed to be unable to bear it. She coughed a few times and couldn't help but said, "Xu Nian, why do you want to resign?"

This is something she couldn't understand!

Since solving the crisis of Crystal City, Xu Nian has made great contributions. Originally, the superiors had given Xu Nian the opportunity to speak freely, but Xu Nian suddenly proposed to use his contributions to exchange for the termination of the contract.

No one knows why this is the case, but what is even more bizarre is that the eldest lady actually overcame all objections and made the General Hospital agree to Xu Nian's request.

However, as a price, Xu Nian's every move began to be closely monitored by the hospital.

"Nothing, I'm tired!"

Xu Nian blew out a smoke ring again and said calmly.

"This time, the Crystal City Research Institute incident has a huge impact on the entire city wall, and it is beyond the hospital's expectations. There are still many things to deal with in the follow-up... But anyway, if you are not here this time, I don't know what will happen..."

Zuoqiu Yue looked at Xu Nian with a serious face, even puzzled.

Obviously, he has made great contributions. Not to mention the appreciation, the rewards he received are enough to make people excited, but at this time, the man in front of him chose to leave!

It wasn't just her who didn't understand. Almost no one in the entire hospital, except the eldest lady, could understand.

She even heard that Team Leader Gu Shan had a special argument with the eldest lady, although it ended in vain.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

After Xu Nian put out the cigarette, he smiled at Zuo Qiuyue.

Zuo Qiuyue saw that Xu Nian didn't want to talk about this matter, so she sighed and took out a key from her pocket.

"The eldest lady told me to give this thing to you and to tell you something. She can only do this much."

Xu Nian took a deep breath, took the key and looked at it for a while, then put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "Thank the eldest lady for me."

Zuo Qiuyue rolled his eyes: "Okay, since the matter has been done, I won't bother you anymore. Anyway, thanks to your blessing, I am now a full member of the special operations team!"

Xu Nian smiled slightly: "Congratulations, and don't worry, I will not forget what I promised you. I will definitely help you find the murderer who killed your father."

Zuo Qiuyue looked at Xu Nian for a while, then said nothing more and got up and left.

Xu Nian watched the other party leave until a long time later, and then took out the key in his pocket again.

Late at night, Xu Nian came to an abandoned courtyard in the southern suburbs, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

The satellite coordinates engraved on the key given to him by the eldest lady are here. Although it is strange that there is an abandoned courtyard in this place, thinking of the agreement with the eldest lady, he believes that the eldest lady will not lie to him.

That's right!

The reason why he chose to leave Sunset Mental Hospital at this time was certainly not because he hated the life there. After all, he had finally made great achievements and the hot life had arrived. How could he choose to retire to the city?

Everything was the eldest lady's secret mission!

Or, it was a secret deal that Xu Nian could not refuse!

He agreed to leave the hospital in this way and secretly investigate something for the eldest lady. In return, the eldest lady gave him a clue, which could help him thoroughly understand everything about his father-in-law.

And this clue was this abandoned courtyard.

It was better to say that it was an old courtyard than a courtyard. The heavy wooden door had not been opened for a long time, and the seal on it had fallen off.

He pushed the door open with a little force, and what came into view was a dilapidated lawn.

In front of the lawn, on the left and right were wooden houses, and the doors were also sealed.

Because he didn't know what the eldest lady's so-called clue was, he had to cross the lawn cautiously and then enter the lobby of the courtyard first.

The neat but worn-out Chinese furniture was covered with dust. In the center of the lobby hung an ancient scroll, showing a beautiful woman in ancient costume. However, because it was from the back, her face could not be seen clearly. However, judging from her slender figure, she was definitely a rare beauty in ancient times.

He walked around but found nothing. Even when he used his spiritual power to sense it, he did not find anything unusual.

So, he left the lobby and walked into the wing room on the left.

However, what he didn't notice was that the moment he turned to leave the lobby, the woman in the garden turned around and revealed a strange face.

The wing room on the left seemed to be a woman's boudoir. He saw an ancient bronze mirror, warm-colored bed curtains that only women would use, and even women's clothes in the closet.

"Still nothing!"

After checking and finding nothing, Xu Nian prepared to leave.

However, just after he turned around,

a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Sir, can you help me comb my hair?"

Xu Nian's body froze in place, and he was sweating profusely.

"Sir, don't be nervous, I won't hurt you!"

As the soft female voice sounded again, Xu Nian took a deep breath and turned around slowly, but his pupils shrank rapidly.

He saw a woman in ancient costume wearing only gauze. If it was just that, it would be fine, but the problem was that the back of this woman was exactly the same as the woman in the painting he had just seen in the lobby.

Is it a human or a ghost?

The spiritual power in Xu Nian's body almost instinctively probed forward, but it was bounced back as if it encountered a barrier.

"Sir, can you help me comb my hair?"

The woman in ancient costume picked up a wooden comb from the table and pointed the bronze mirror in front of her at her face.

Xu Nian, who was standing not far behind her, took a breath of cold air.

Because, through the mirror, he saw a white face without facial features.
