Chapter 249 To Become Strong
With a general direction of investigation, the following content is not what Ranran is good at.
Every profession has its own specialties, so leave professional matters to professionals.
It has been confirmed that the erotic transactions at the construction site and even the outrageous superstition of lucky beads are all related to the people who initially prevented Sun Zhiqiang from exposing the problems in the measurement data of Building 8.
As long as we follow this clue, we will find out who hired the construction team that was responsible for building the foundations of eight buildings and even digging the large pit underneath before the current construction team entered the Shengxiu Building.
Investigating Sun Zhiqiang’s mobile phone communication records and chat records is the most direct entry point.
These tasks are Zhang Wei's expertise, so Ranran and the others don't need to get involved.
Shen Dinghai contacted Shen Dingchuan as soon as Ranran came to the conclusion.
As the person in charge of the Shen Group, Shen Dingchuan would naturally not miss such a major opportunity to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes. He has stated that he will do his utmost to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau and provide all the information and details on the project contracting.
Although the problem was caused by the contractor of the project, it happened under the project that Shen Group was going to develop.
If such matters are handled well, it can restore the company's reputation. If they are not handled well, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the Shen Group.
"Cousin, what should we do next? Can we go home now? It seems that everything that happens next is within the scope of the Public Security Bureau's work."
Ranran dipped his hands in the clear water brought by Shen Dinghai. The originally dry soil instantly became moist and dissolved in the water, turning the basin of clear water muddy.
"Nephew, I..." She pursed her lips, "I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Shen Dinghai was shocked. "What's wrong? Are you tired from helping to dig up the body just now?"
“No…” Ranran lowered her head, and the gradually turbid water reflected her swaying figure.
Ran Ran looked at herself in the water, and suddenly she felt a surge of self-loathing in her heart.
"I feel uncomfortable."
"I have power, but what can I do... I can't change anything at all. Evil cannot be eradicated, so what is the meaning of my existence..."
Shen Dinghai was shocked and stuttered, "How can it be meaningless! What you do must be meaningful!"
Ran Ran turned her head to look at him, her eyes slightly red, filled with a kind of urgent need for recognition.
Shen Dinghai felt a pain in his heart when he saw this, he knew that Ranran was confused.
No matter how old or experienced a person is, he or she will get confused, let alone someone like Ranran who is young but shoulders power and responsibility.
She has been living with mountain spirits since she was young, with no one to teach her and she grew up indiscriminately. The code of conduct she has always followed is the Taoist principles passed down to her by her parents who have been in seclusion.
Caring for all people.
But no one taught her how to care about the people and to what extent she should do so.
Shen Dinghai didn't know how to start to comfort Ranran. His lips opened and closed, and he stuttered for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
Ning Wu, who was standing aside, lowered his eyes.
So... he really doesn't want to see such a scene. What's the good of such a useless thing as feelings... it should be completely stripped away.
There was a dark light flashing in Ning Wu's eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"You are confused because you are not strong enough. If you were strong enough to master the rules, or even make the rules, everything and everyone in this world would be at your mercy."
Ning Wu's voice was soft, but full of alluring magic.
Ran Ran looked up at him and felt that this scene seemed familiar.
"Powerful enough?"
Ning Wu looked at her without blinking, "By then, what can you not get if you want? What can you not do if you want to do?" Ning Wu curved his eyes and said gently.
"It is all acceptable."
Ning Wu still had that fair, pretty, yet extremely attractive look. The teardrop mole under the corner of her eye was like a drop of ink, dripping into her clear eyes.
Black gradually invades white, and becomes hazy.
"Just become powerful?"
"Yes." Ning Wu said softly, "As long as you become stronger."
Ran Ran's eyes gradually lost their luster, and he murmured, "What should I do?"
Ning Wu stretched out her white fingertips and touched the red mark between Ranran's eyebrows. It felt warm and cool, like a piece of white jade.
"You know what to do."
“I know…” “Yeah, you know, just like last time… whatever is holding you back, you have to untie it…”
The scene in front of Ranran's eyes became blurred, and everything in her sight became distorted, like an oil painting that had been wiped carelessly with a wet cloth.
"Unlock it and you will become stronger..."
Ning Wu leaned over and put his mouth close to Ran Ran's ear, his breath moist and intimate, "You know the feeling of being powerful, you have experienced it, right..."
"As long as you are strong, you can do anything you want..."
In his eyes, the light spots in Ranran's body had begun to flicker and became more and more dazzling.
Ning Wu smiled with satisfaction. That was it… gradually becoming brighter until it broke…
Seeing that Ran Ran was not in a good state, Shen Dinghai shouted, "Ning Wu, what are you whispering to your cousin?!"
The sound obviously disrupted the progress of the magic. Ranran shook, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Ning Wu's face turned cold and he looked at Shen Dinghai, which made Shen Dinghai feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
Shen Dinghai's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Too scary... scarier than anything he had seen before... Ning Wu... Who on earth is Ning Wu...
He was shaking all over and had difficulty breathing.
Seeing that the struggle in Ranran's eyes was becoming more and more intense because of Shen Dinghai, Ning Wu stretched out his hands and held her in his arms.
He leaned down and gently embraced Ran Ran with his body. His voice was cold, completely unlike Ning Wu's, but his tone was gentle.
Unprecedented tenderness.
"Be good, don't struggle."
"Do you know what you will get after breaking the seal? Greater power. Not only that, your heart will also become stronger."
“You will no longer feel those boring and useless emotions, sympathy and pity, and you will truly become a strong person.”
Ning Wu reached out and gently patted Ranran's back, as if he was coaxing her to sleep softly.
He glanced at the corpse in the distance, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Things like today that make you feel powerless and even self-loathing will never happen again."
"Follow the power in your body, don't resist it, let it lead you to break free from those constraints..."
"Break through the second seal."
Ning Wu looked at Ranran, who was gradually losing strength, and smiled with satisfaction.
If his cat could do this, he would never have such troubles again...
Shen Dinghai still couldn't stop shaking, there was nothing he could do...
There is absolutely no way to resist this fear!
What should he do, he must do something!
Shen Dinghai suppressed his trembling fear and pulled out his fingernail violently. In an instant, the pain seemed to break through some kind of restraint.
He seized the opportunity and forced himself to make a sound.
"Cousin! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Don't become that person! You won't allow yourself to become that person!"
"Remember what you told me? You have to protect this world. Without those feelings, you won't be able to do that!"
Shen Dinghai yelled until he was hoarse.
But Ranran's eyes were completely closed, as if she was trapped in an extremely long dream.
A dark, endless world with nothing but water.
She could only keep sinking in the water.
Dimly, she seemed to hear Shen Dinghai's voice coming from far away.
Second nephew…it was the second nephew who called her…
Ran Ran rolled his eyes and made a faint sound.
"My second nephew..."
Ning Wu's eyes turned cold and he looked at Shen Dinghai expressionlessly.
"You want to die, don't you?"
