After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum-Chapter 997 - 996: She Is Also a Pawn Ready to Be Sacrificed at Any Time

Chapter 996: She is also a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time

Di Ding looked at Nan Mingzhu helplessly and said to Gu Dongxing, "I have already recognized Lady Nan as my master."

The implication was, if Nan Mingzhu leaves, he leaves; if Nan Mingzhu doesn’t leave, he cannot leave.

And it was clear that Nan Mingzhu did not want to leave.

Mengyu knew that in the Nan Family, a Hidden Guard who recognized a master cannot betray the master under any circumstances; however, they could terminate the contract in the presence of the Family Head, but at a great cost.

When Nan Mingzhu mentioned interceding with the person and that she only needed to break up with Gu Dongxing to spare his life, Mengyu understood that her guess was correct, and the person behind Nan Ming was indeed this Nan Gong.

It seemed he was not surnamed Nan Gong, but his name was Nan Gong, and he must have been a direct member of the Nan Family from the Immortal Sect!

Although it seemed unbelievable, Mengyu was sure that this Nan Gong was the real mastermind behind her tragic previous life and the ordeals of this life!

Even though he harmed her, Gu Dongxing, and the Leng Family with schemes before,

She was confident that once Nan Gong returned, she and Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe wouldn’t escape, and their lives would surely be lost.

Therefore, even if Feng Dongcheng didn’t leave, she must take Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe away. She couldn’t allow her lover and brother to pay with their lives because of her.

As soon as the last Feng Dongcheng boarded the Five Elements Fan, she completely ignored Nan Mingzhu and immediately rode the Five Elements Fan down towards the sinkhole — she just wanted to stay as far away from Nan Gong as possible.

Nan Mingzhu suddenly shouted, "Wait, I want to leave too."

But Mengyu completely ignored her and continued riding the Five Elements Fan downward.

"No, you cannot just leave us. We discovered this sinkhole together, and you can’t abandon us!"

As everyone left, leaving her alone to face the mysterious figure, Nan Mingzhu suddenly felt afraid.

Nan Mingzhu was actually a bit scared of Nan Gong.

Although Nan Ming had said before to call that person in case of trouble, after she called the person this time, he indeed arranged Gu Dongxing to investigate the vampire case in Shanbei Village.

Moreover, following her request, he allowed her to join the Dragon Team’s training with Gu Dongxing, creating opportunities for them.

But she hadn’t forgotten the previous incident with the Yin Evil Silk. If Mengyu hadn’t seized the Yin Evil Bottle, she would have been consumed by Yin Evil Silk along with everyone else, being annihilated.

It’s evident that this mysterious Nan Gong wasn’t going to be her protector like Nan Ming claimed.

On the contrary, she had a feeling that she was merely a pawn that he could sacrifice at any time.

Previously, it was easy for him to send her to death, and she couldn’t guarantee that after everyone left, he wouldn’t spare her life when she faced him alone.

Especially, she knew things unknown to others, such as the fact that this Dragon Team operation was actually orchestrated by that person, meaning that the demon cultivator might very well be colluding with Nan Gong.

She couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t silence her.

Mengyu, at most, would make things difficult for her but wouldn’t kill her, so after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to follow Mengyu.

Feng Dongcheng looked at Mengyu, "Alright, let them come down."

After all, they were brought here by him, and indeed this sinkhole was discovered by Nan Mingzhu and her servant.

Of course, he was more worried that leaving them behind might lead to unforeseen events causing unnecessary trouble for everyone; it would be better to leave together.

Mengyu understood Captain Feng’s concern, and she reluctantly opened the array and shouted upwards, "Jump down yourself."
