Chapter 245: Chapter 245: He Actually Outmaneuvered Me (Double Chapter)

Lin Chengsheng’s face showed shock, his brain had stopped functioning, and all he could think of was the four words "return to the original owner."

"You..."

"Her belongings should be returned." Ji Ning suddenly said.

Her?

Lin Chengsheng’s shocked mind cleared a bit with the word "her."

"Are you the descendant of the Commander?" He suppressed his excitement, looking Ji Ning up and down, trying to confirm her specific identity.

But Ji Ning did not admit it, instead extending a hand to him, "No, just give me the item."

Lin Chengsheng showed a complicated expression, suppressing his emotions, "My grandfather instructed before his death that unless the Commander or their descendants come in person, it must not be given."

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded, but did not retract the extended hand.

Lin Chengsheng took a deep breath, uncertain if she acknowledged it or not, but considering she knew the secret of this villa, knew about the Commander’s relics in the Lin Family, his inner balance tipped towards her.

Perhaps she had some reason that prevented her from revealing her identity.

Thinking this, Lin Chengsheng sighed and said, "Come with me."

Ji Ning followed Lin Chengsheng out of the secret room and came to the room on the first floor of the villa, which was said to be dedicated to the ancestors of the Lin Family.

Inside the room, there were indeed several black-and-white photos, and in front of the photos were offerings and an incense burner.

Lin Chengsheng walked to the desk, lit an incense stick, and bowed respectfully, then got up and turned a button under the desk.

The desk holding the photo frames suddenly rotated, and the white wall behind the desk also rotated at this moment, revealing a safe in the recess of the wall.

The safe’s combination required Lin Chengsheng’s retina, fingerprints, and voice; if even one element was incorrect, the contents of the safe would automatically destroy themselves.

Luckily, she did not hastily take them out.

Ji Ning stood behind him watching.

"This is the item left by my grandfather. Only the Commander and their descendants can take it away." Lin Chengsheng took out a black box, holding it up for Ji Ning to inspect.

The black box was made of a special metal with fine lines on the surface, dustproof, fireproof, waterproof, without a trace of change for over a hundred years, as if brand new.

Seeing that Lin Chengsheng was holding the box and not giving it to her, Ji Ning flicked her fingers.

Lin Chengsheng’s arm suddenly became weak, and the black box in his hand fell down, which Ji Ning caught steadily.

"You person..."

Ji Ning took the black box, replied with, "Thanks."

Then she opened the door to the room with ease and walked out.

The recovered Lin Chengsheng hurriedly chased out, "Wait a minute, you can’t just take it like that."

"Wah— Wah—"

The cries of babies echoed in the living room.

Ji Ning paused slightly, seeing a middle-aged man with a mask appear in front of her.

Behind him was the wide living room.

Old Madam Lin and the nursemaids were holding and coaxing two soft, cute children.

"You can’t stop me." Ji Ning glanced at them, then calmly looked at the man before her, speaking softly.

Seeing this person blocking Ji Ning, Lin Chengsheng did not relax at all; instead, a sense of alertness rose in his eyes.

He quickly walked to Ji Ning’s side, seemingly explaining to the man, "She is my son’s friend, with no ill intent, just joking..."

He always knew that this powerful person who had joined the Lin Family was sent by another force to monitor the Lin Family, so he was always wary of him. The man was also sensible, remaining discreet after coming to the Lin Family’s old mansion, rarely showing up in front of the Lin Family members.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he gave the black box to Ji Ning, this man appeared.

It was clear that his purpose for coming to the Lin Family was also this black box.

Damn it, wasn’t this matter only known to the Commander and the Lin Family?

Why does someone else know the item is at his home?

Lin Chengsheng was tense to the extreme, afraid that the man would use his mother and the children behind him as leverage.

He steadied his voice, pretending not to notice his intention, turned to Ji Ning and said, "You young girl, making jokes with Uncle, you should know your limits..."

The words had yet to finish when the middle-aged man already made his move against Ji Ning.

Ji Ning, holding the black box with one hand, formed a fist with the other hand to hit against the man’s palm.

The restrained energy of both individuals flipped Lin Chengsheng across the ground, causing him to land heavily at the base of the wall.

At the same time, Ji Ning borrowed the man’s force to flip over his head and land behind him.

A formless energy wall firmly blocked the energy leading to the living room.

The man was somewhat surprised, and the danger level of Ji Ning in his mind increased by several degrees.

After distancing himself from Ji Ning, sharp ice spikes emerged from his fingertips, rapidly shooting towards Ji Ning.
