Jiang Ning waved her sleeve to disperse the scent of the drug, then she loosened the handkerchief that was covering her nose.

“Xiaoman, come here,” she called for Xiaoman.

Xiaoman had been secretly following them from a distance, and hearing her call, she immediately ran over, chuckling, “Miss, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

“Stop your foolish laughter for now, get some rope, I need you to tie him up.”

“Alright!”

Without questioning why Wenren Zong suddenly fainted or how the Miss achieved that, Xiaoman obediently followed her instructions.

Soon, Xiaoman returned with a rope, easily tying up Wenren Zong.

“Don’t tie it too tightly,” Jiang Ning urged.

After all, Wenren Zong was just a scholar; they should be careful not to hurt him.

Once he was tied up, Xiaoman picked up Wenren Zong and with Jiang Ning, moved back to the entrance of the house.

!!..

This scene surprised everyone.

Lin Zizi was shocked, and the imperial guards waiting outside the door were even more stunned.

“Master Wenren!”

“You woman, what are you planning to do?”

The imperial guards shouted in unison, raising their swords, preparing to charge forward.

Xiaoman held Wenren Zong with one hand while in her other hand she held a knife to his neck.

Jiang Ning, pushing her wheelchair beside them, coolly warned, “If any of you dare to make a move, this knife has no eyes.”

The imperial guards looked at each other in astonishment.

Who would have thought that a petite, disabled girl would take Master Wenren hostage?

Lin Zizi approached Jiang Ning and whispered, “Ningning, you mustn’t behave recklessly. Kidnapping an Imperial Court official is no trivial matter.”

“Mother, given the current situation, this is not something we need to be concerned about,” Jiang Ning whispered back, “I heard from Wenren Zong earlier that the King of Chen staged a coup, and has imprisoned Father, Third Brother, and the other Court Officials. The King of Chen sent Wenren Zong here to take you to the Palace. This can’t be good. No matter what, I won’t let him take you away.”

Hearing this, Lin Zizi furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

So the King of Chen had been so audacious.

Had something happened to the Emperor?

A sense of unease surged within her heart.

Wenren Zong gradually regained consciousness and, looking down, he swiftly realized he had been tied up.

He turned to look at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning avoided his gaze.

She was afraid that if she looked at him, she might become soft-hearted.

Wenren Zong gave a wry smile in the darkness.

Held in high esteem as the best detective in Chang’an City, yet he had easily fallen into this woman’s hands.

Lust really could cloud wise judgment.

He began to understand the behavior of those infamous imbeciles who fell prey to women in history.

Although he wasn’t a Prince, when he was looking into her eyes, listening to her gentle and soft voice, he found himself completely defenseless.

If he were truly resolute, he would not have walked in here alone.

He had forgotten that he was in the Jiang family’s abode, where everyone was loyal to Jiang Ning.

No, he hadn’t forgotten. He had been bewitched.

Wenren Zong did nothing to struggle, nor did he waste breath in telling Jiang Ning to let him go.

Anyway, he didn’t want to take her family away, so he might as well remain tied up.

With him as a hostage, the Imperial guards did not dare to act rashly.

Jiang Ning loudly declared, “Now that Wenren Zong is in my hands, I’m going to close the door. If any of you dares to come in, I will kill Wenren Zong. You bear the consequences!”

She ordered the housekeeper to close the door.

The Imperial guards outside became frantic and shouted towards Wenren Zong, “Master, Master, what should we do now?”

Wenren Zong kept a stern face and reprimanded, “Didn’t you hear what the woman said? If any of you dare to act recklessly and this official gets hurt, I won’t let you go!”

The housekeeper quickly shut the door and bolted it..
