She doesn't deserve this wealthy wife.

Chapter 153 Secret
At first, Ning Jiao thought she was trapped in a fantasy similar to "ghost beating a wall".

Now Ning Jiao realized that there was quicksand.

Ning Jiao said bitterly, "My intuition tells me it's here, but there is nothing here. If this temperature continues, we may be dried out in the sun."

Ling Xiao said with some fear, "We have come so far. The sky is still the same and the desert is the same. It's really scary here."

Ling Xiao sat there with his eyes closed and meditated, and Ning Jiao also stopped.

After about ten minutes, Ling Xiao said helplessly, "So how long do you think the food you brought is enough for us?"

"Probably just enough for a week."

Ling Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, it was his problem, a simple desert trapped them.

"No, if there is the sun, we can definitely tell the direction, because there is an angle between a person's shadow and his body. Based on the angle, we can calculate the time and general direction."

"But here, we have no shadow."

Ning Jiao lowered her head and saw that there was no trace of the two of them.

The stronger the light, the more obvious the shadow will be in this desert.

The sun is high in the sky, so their shadows should be extremely clear.

"So, the only place we want to find it is underground."

The two looked at each other and began to dig at the sand.
The surrounding sand slowly sank, and immediately the two of them fell directly into the underground river.

"Well, now that we've encountered water, we won't die of thirst at last."

Ning Jiao took a few sips of water. Ling Xiao looked at Ning Jiao in shock, "Why did you just drink it? Aren't you afraid that there is something wrong with the water?"

Ning Jiao said indifferently, "Look at the desert above, which is enough to trap anyone to death. How can there be any problem with the water?"

"This underground river space is so wide, it should be filled up. Why didn't those grains of sand fall down?"

Ning Jiao explained, "The sand may be falling all the time, but the underground river is extremely fast and will not let anything stay in one place."

The two of them were groping along the underground river, and suddenly Ling Xiao let out a pain.

Ning Jiao instantly pulled him back to a big rock, and then discovered that his left ankle was bitten by a piranha.

Ling Xiao endured the pain and took out a lighter to bake it before controlling the piranha to let go of its mouth.

He then threw the piranha aside, and the piranha, which lost water, was still repeating the action just now.

Ling Xiao said helplessly, "The water in this underground river is indeed very clean, and there are actually piranhas in it."

"Don't worry, you're seriously injured. I'll find a way to bandage it for you."

Before Ning Jiao finished speaking, Ling Xiao fell back directly, and soon he felt the loss of his strength.

Ning Jiao's eyes were full of fear, and she quickly supported him, "Hey, Xie Juanliu hasn't been found yet, you can't die first!"

Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Miss Ning, if the eldest young master and Qi Zhou fight, who will you help?"

Ning Jiao was confused. What is going on? Is this part of the script included?

She frowned and said, "How could the two of them fight?"

"Just tell me who you are helping?"

Ning Jiao opened her mouth and finally said helplessly, "I must be helping Mr. Xie, Qi Zhou is just an idiot."

Ling Xiao frowned and said, "It's okay. I just want to know why. You looked at Qizhou as if you were possessed by a poison."

Ning Jiao's eyes flashed with inexplicable light and she said with a sense of loss and helplessness, "I don't know, I don't even remember what happened before."

Ling Xiao looked at Ning Jiao in surprise, "Miss Ning, have you lost your memory?"

Ning Jiao shook her head, "I haven't completely lost my memory. I didn't believe this kind of thing originally, but recently many fragments have entered my memory." Ling Xiao felt that he had eaten something shocking, and subconsciously opened his mouth.

Then, he asked, "Miss Ning, you can actually leave the entertainment industry and find a place to live again."

"It's not necessary, I'm not at the point where I need to support myself in old age."

Ling Xiao was silent for a while and said, "Miss Ning, actually you and I used to be very similar. It's just that I made the wrong choice. I ruined everything."

Ning Jiao comforted, "You still have this past, but don't be too sad. There are many injustices in the world. The decisions we make may not be correct, but they must be the best for the situation at that time."

"You really think so?"

Ning Jiao smiled and said, "We have been together for such a long time, and I still understand your character. To be able to make you regret it so much shows how complicated and critical the situation was at that time.

Ling Xiao looked at Ning Jiao steadily, "You are a bit too smart."

Ning Jiao shrugged, "That's just my guess. Since you're fine, let's go find Mr. Xie first."

"Well, okay!"

The two continued walking down the underground river and finally found the exit.

And as soon as she went out, Ning Jiao discovered that someone had set up a tent here.

Moreover, there are men in black guarding the place with guns. It seems that a large-scale transaction is going on here.

Ning Jiao froze in place, not daring to move at all.

She and Ling Xiao lurked in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity.

After a while, several cars drove slowly over.

A large group of men in black ran out of the tent as if to greet someone important.

Ning Jiao's lower body was soaked in the water, feeling very uncomfortable, but she did not dare to move.

Then, she saw a middle-aged man in his 50s walking out of the car.

His face was resolute, with a hint of sinisterness, and there was a chilling air between his brows.

Ning Jiao's heart was shaken, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Next, she saw Xie Juanliu appear in her field of vision.

He was still wearing the silver-gray suit he had worn in the morning, making him look extremely cold.

There is even more dignity that cannot be concealed in every gesture.

The group of men in black nodded and bowed to the middle-aged man, and then Xie Juanliu also entered the tent with him.

Seeing this, Ning Jiao was completely panicked.

Something is wrong. Why did Xie Juanliu follow him in?

She grabbed Ling Xiao's collar and asked, "Ling Xiao, who is that middle-aged man?"

Ling Xiao's expression was a little unnatural, obviously he didn't want to tell Ning Jiao.

"If you don't tell me, I will rush over right away. By then, neither you nor I will be able to get out alive."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao's temples twitched and he quickly grabbed Ning Jiao, "Oh, my eldest lady, you are really hot-tempered. It's better to live than die."

Ning Jiao snorted coldly, "Tell me, who is that person?"

Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth.

"This is the second master, the previous head of the Xie family. Because something happened, everyone thought he was dead."
