Prosperity Tower.
As the headquarters of the Prosperity Group, thousands of white-collar workers usually work here. However, since today is Sunday, there aren't many people around.
Only a few workaholics are working overtime...
Ning Wangshu cast a Concealment Incantation on himself and silently infiltrated Prosperity Tower.
When he reached the office with the "Deputy General Manager" sign, he sensed carefully and found that no one was inside.
Although Ning Wangshu couldn't extend his Divine Sense, his ability to perceive his surroundings was still intact. It was clear whether someone was inside or not with just a bit of sensing.
"Today is Sunday, so it seems that guy didn't come to the office. But it doesn't matter. I'll find an opportunity to see if anyone in this company is alone, and then use the Soul-Searching Technique on them to find out what Xu Yiming looks like..."
Ning Wangshu thought to himself.
He waited patiently on the side.
***
After some time had passed.
When he saw a bald, overweight man coming out of an office, seemingly heading to the toilet, Ning Wangshu quickly followed.
Moments later.
Seeing the man indeed enter the toilet, and with no one else inside, Ning Wangshu immediately formed an incantation and placed his hand on the man's head!
A deep, mysterious glow flashed through Ning Wangshu's palm.
The man's expression instantly became dazed and vacant...
Before long.
Ning Wangshu withdrew his hand, a hint of joy in his eyes. "I didn't expect this guy to be an executive at Prosperity Group, and he often visits a clubhouse with that Xu. Later, I can try my luck at that clubhouse to see if Xu is there. If not, I'll have to come back tomorrow to see if he shows up at the office..."
With that thought, Ning Wangshu quietly left Prosperity Tower...
***
About ten minutes later.
Ning Wangshu arrived at the entrance of the Yundian Clubhouse, where Xu Yiming frequently visited.
With the Concealment Incantation still active, Ning Wangshu entered the clubhouse unnoticed by anyone.
Since he wasn't sure if Xu Yiming was there, he had to explore around, following waiters into private rooms one by one...
However, after spending over two hours at the Yundian Clubhouse, Ning Wangshu had almost checked all the private rooms but still hadn't found any trace of Xu Yiming.
Just as he was about to give up and leave, planning to return to Prosperity Tower tomorrow to see if he could encounter Xu Yiming, he suddenly caught sight of a 'familiar' figure walking down the corridor ahead.
That person looked exactly like Xu Yiming, whom he had 'seen' through the Soul-Searching Technique from the memory of the Prosperity Group executive!
However, to ensure he wasn't mistaken, Ning Wangshu didn't act immediately.
Moreover, in Ning Wangshu's view, if this person was indeed Xu Yiming, killing him silently would be too easy on him...
So, Ning Wangshu followed behind the man and entered a private room with him.
"Young Master Xu, would you like us to bring you something first?"
A waiter beside them asked respectfully.
Xu Yiming waved his hand, "No rush, I'll order when my friend arrives..."
"Alright, alright. Then... Young Master Xu, please have a seat. I'll bring you a pot of tea. If you need anything, just call me!"
The waiter said.
"Mm."
Xu Yiming nodded indifferently.
After the waiter left, Ning Wangshu suddenly lifted the Concealment Incantation, revealing himself, and spoke, "Xu Yiming?"
Hearing someone call his name suddenly, Xu Yiming was startled and instinctively turned his head.
When he saw someone sitting next to him, he was shocked, "You... who are you? When did you come in? How come I didn't see you just now?"
Xu Yiming looked at Ning Wangshu with a face full of suspicion and uncertainty.
He even wondered if he had seen a ghost, as he hadn't seen anyone when he entered. Moreover, if someone had indeed been inside, the waiter at Yundian Clubhouse wouldn't have led him to this private room.
And after he entered, until the waiter left, he hadn't seen anyone else come in. The door hadn't opened again except when he entered and the waiter left.
But where did this person come from?
The more he thought about it, the more fearful Xu Yiming became, wondering if he had truly encountered a ghost.
Seeing Xu Yiming's suspicious and somewhat panicked expression, Ning Wangshu smiled faintly, "It seems I didn't mistake you for someone else. You are indeed Xu Yiming."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiming forced himself to calm down, staring at Ning Wangshu, "Are you... a human or a ghost?"
Ning Wangshu glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "What, are you afraid of ghosts? Have you done too many bad things and are afraid of ghosts coming for you?"
Hearing Ning Wangshu's tone, Xu Yiming felt slightly more at ease, realizing he might not be a ghost.
But then, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, and where did you come from? I don't seem to know you, do I?"
"Heh, you don't know me. But I think the names Zhang Lanfang and Ning Ruoxuan shouldn't be too unfamiliar to you, right?"
Ning Wangshu said unhurriedly.
Xu Yiming was taken aback, looking puzzled, as if he didn't recognize the names Ning Wangshu mentioned.
But soon, he seemed to remember something, suddenly exclaiming, "Are you talking about the woman and her daughter I hit and killed that day? What do you have to do with them?"
Ning Wangshu said softly, "The woman you hit and killed, Zhang Lanfang, is my mother, and Ning Ruoxuan is my sister. Now, do you know who I am?"
"So you're that woman's son. What do you want from me today? I advise you and your sister to obediently sign the Letter of Understanding for me, or else... hmph, you and your sister, I can't guarantee what will happen next!"
Knowing Ning Wangshu's identity, Xu Yiming was no longer afraid, even showing a rather arrogant attitude.
This was the Yundian Clubhouse, the top high-end clubhouse in Linchuan City, with countless security personnel outside. As long as he shouted, security would rush in immediately.
Therefore, he wasn't worried about what Ning Wangshu could do to him alone.
Unfortunately, he had no idea who he was facing at this moment!
And his arrogant attitude, especially the threats in his words, infuriated Ning Wangshu.
Ning Wangshu's gaze turned cold instantly.
At the same time.
A chilling coldness filled the entire private room almost instantly, making it feel like the depths of winter. The biting cold made Xu Yiming's whole body stiffen, unable to move a muscle!
"Even now, you dare to threaten me? You really are clueless about your impending doom!"
Ning Wangshu spoke coldly, "If it were just an ordinary car accident, and you showed some sincerity, apologized, admitted your mistakes, and served your sentence honestly."
Then, even if I harbored resentment, I wouldn't go so far as to do anything to you.
But unfortunately, you shouldn't have, you really shouldn't have, shown no remorse, and even threatened my sister, forcing her to sign a Letter of Understanding, and even called two thugs to try to assault her!"
As he spoke, Ning Wangshu sighed softly and continued in a soft voice, "Originally, I could have let you die silently, without awareness.
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
But I think that would be too easy on you, not letting you truly experience the fear of death approaching!
So, I revealed myself, letting you see me, telling you all this, just to make sure you understand clearly how you're going to die, why you're going to die, and when you're going to die!"
Hearing Ning Wangshu's words, Xu Yiming became agitated. He seemed to want to say something desperately, but found himself unable to move or make any sound.
This filled him with immense fear and panic.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Wangshu smiled faintly and said slowly, "Don't even think about moving or making any sound. Even without using Oppressive Might against you, just a wisp of my aura is enough to completely immobilize you, making you unable to move or make any sound!"
After speaking, Ning Wangshu suddenly stood up, slowly walked over to Xu Yiming, and then suddenly opened his palm.
In the next moment, a sword, about the size of a palm, radiating with flowing light, appeared in his palm, spinning around. It was none other than his Life-Bound Artifact—the Wangshu Sword!
Seeing such an unbelievable scene, Xu Yiming's eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief!
Ning Wangshu glanced at him and smiled faintly, "See this? It's called a Flying Sword! Seeing this, you should know I'm not an ordinary person.
Therefore, you shouldn't doubt my words. The reason I'm showing you this is because I want to tell you that in three days, you will die! Moreover, I will seal this memory of yours.
After I leave, you won't remember what happened just now.
Until... the Curse Seal I implanted in you is triggered, and at the moment of your death, this sealed memory will be restored.
At that time, you will recall everything that happened today, and then die in regret and pain..."
Ning Wangshu's words filled Xu Yiming with complete terror.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't believe Ning Wangshu's words, dismissing him as a lunatic.
But having witnessed the Flying Sword in Ning Wangshu's palm, and being unable to move or make a sound, he couldn't help but believe Ning Wangshu's words.
Seeing Xu Yiming's eyes filled with fear and pleading, Ning Wangshu laughed.
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
In the next moment, Ning Wangshu retracted the Flying Sword in his palm and, right in front of Xu Yiming, formed an incantation.
Instantly.
A mysterious Curse Seal, emitting a deep, eerie glow, appeared out of thin air in Ning Wangshu's palm...
"Watch closely! In three days, this Curse Seal will be the one to kill you! Once triggered, you will endure a pain like being devoured by a thousand ants, until you can't bear it anymore and die completely.
And no matter how much you struggle, you'll be just as immobilized as you are now, unable to make any sound, waiting for death to come in endless pain..."
As he spoke, Ning Wangshu slowly implanted the Curse Seal into Xu Yiming's body.
Watching the Curse Seal approach him and then silently enter his body, Xu Yiming's face was filled with pleading and terror, desperately trying to struggle.
But it was all in vain...
And Ning Wangshu simply smiled.
His smile, in Xu Yiming's eyes, was like the smile of a devil!
"Now, I will seal this memory of yours. Enjoy your last three days of 'ignorant' life.
In three days, you will recall all of this, and at the same time, your painful death will arrive..."
With those words, Ning Wangshu cast another incantation onto Xu Yiming's glabella!
In the next moment, Xu Yiming's body trembled, and a dazed look appeared in his eyes.
As for Ning Wangshu, he had already concealed himself again and silently left the private room...
