Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Brother Has Muscles_1

Jiang Ning closed her eyes for a moment. Once her eyes adapted to the dim light below, she saw a large bed with a pink canopy not far from her.

The curtain fell around the bed, faintly showing that someone was lying on it.

Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi said, “I checked. There are two women on the bed, unconscious. They cannot be woken up – they may have been drugged.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning confidently stepped forward and pulled the curtain aside.

As expected, there were two young women on the bed. By their looks, they shouldn’t be more than twenty years old. Both had black hair and red lips, quite beautiful.

However, both of them seemed to be undressed, with only a thin blanket covering their bodies, revealing their shoulders.

No wonder Jiang Yi was standing far away, reluctant to come closer.

He had a well-known reputation as a playboy, handsome and stylish, yet was more timid than anyone; he always treated women with respect, never daring to get too close.

Seeing his proper etiquette, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but wonder about the kind of woman that could make Jiang Yi treasure her belongings.

But now was not the time to investigate these matters. Jiang Ning cleared her thoughts, briefly examined the two women and said, “Most likely they were given a Knockout Drug. Were they drugged to prevent them from escaping? Who knows where these two girls were taken from. That old baldy should be damned.”

Jiang Yi also looked serious, “Jieming, this old swindler, feigns the image of a righteous monk on the surface, yet indulges in luxury and debauchery in private – a total betrayal of his sacred trust. We should take these two women with us.”

“No we can’t.”

Jiang Ning stopped him, “This is Jieming’s turf, how can we, unarmed and alone, take away two adult women?”

“Don’t underestimate your brother, I know a few tricks…” Jiang Yi tried to demonstrate his capability to his sister, even lifting his arm in a muscle-flexing gesture.

But under his loose clothing, nothing could be seen.

Jiang Ning said calmly, “Brother, let me tell you the truth, even Gucheng wouldn’t be able to get away unnoticed. I wouldn’t allow it, no matter what.”

“Why not?”

“If we take them away, we lose the evidence. How then do we prosecute the old monk?”

“But these two women are the witnesses.”

“Who could prove that they had been here if we take them away? Based solely on our accusations, do you think we could tarnish the reputation of such a renowned monk? Not to mention the emperor, even his disciples, and followers wouldn’t let us off the hook.”

Jiang Ning’s words left Jiang Yi speechless.

“Of course, leaving them here is not without risks,” Jiang Ning continued, “If he discovers that someone was here, there’s a chance he might kill to silence them.”

Jiang Yi gave a bitter smile, “So we can’t do this, nor that. It’s tough indeed.”

“Regardless, let’s retreat first, before the old monk returns.” Jiang Ning lowered the curtain and decisively pulled Jiang Yi back.

Jiang Yi was even quicker. He helped her back up, climbed up himself in a few swift movements, and made sure everything was just as it was before they descended.

The siblings had just left Jieming’s courtyard when they saw Jieming accompanied by several disciples on their way.

Unable to avoid them, they braced themselves to meet him face on.

“Greetings, Master.”

Jiang Yi greeted him first.

The old monk raised his eyes, glanced at him, and then his gaze rested on Jiang Ning’s face, who hadn’t had the time to put on her veil.
