Chapter 143: Girlfriend
A low, husky male voice came from the walkie-talkie: “Mm, be careful, don’t expose yourselves, best to capture her alive, send her to Young Master Huo first, and after Young Master Huo has had his fun, throw her to Wei Jin.”
Scarface acknowledged, looking at Jiang Ning with eyes full of sympathy.
Who did she have to provoke, but she just had to provoke Huo Chengxuan.
Plus from their investigation, Wei Jin was very close to this little girl, even though Wei Jin had been very cautious lately, hiding information about his family and friends, they still traced it to Jiang Ning.
They were gangsters to begin with, Wei Jin dared to injure so many of them, he had to pay the price, and don’t talk to them about morality, they didn’t have that stuff, otherwise they wouldn’t commit crimes.
It was rare to catch her leaving Jin Cheng and running to such a remote small town, so they couldn’t be blamed.
……
Xie Jingyan brought Jiang Ning to a restaurant he used to frequent.
Compared to those in the city, this place was very rudimentary.
But it was an old shop that’s been open for over a decade, and the shop owner recognized Xie Jingyan at a glance.
He greeted him enthusiastically: “Xiao Yan is back.”
As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, Jiang Ning poked out from behind Xie Jingyan, urging him to hurry: “Go in quickly, it’s so cold with the strong wind outside.”
He looked at the unfamiliar little girl in surprise, seeing the two of them acting intimately and naturally.
He couldn’t help but tease: “Bringing a little girlfriend back to your hometown? What about that Wanyuan girl? Isn’t she with you?”
Of the three questions, Xie Jingyan only answered the last two: “I don’t know where Su Wanyuan is, we haven’t been in touch for a long time.”
The shop owner couldn’t help but tease: “Ah? I remember she used to be your little shadow, clamoring every day that she wanted to be your bride when she grew up.”
Xie Jingyan interrupted flatly: “Uncle, don’t mention that anymore.”
He then patted his head, forgetting he had brought his girlfriend, it wasn’t good to mention this in front of her, the shop owner looked at Jiang Ning, the little girl blinked her big eyes at him, she was very bright and striking, with full curiosity in her eyes, seemingly very interested in the topic they were chatting about.
“Haha, then take a look at what you want to eat today, I’ll go stir-fry.”
Xie Jingyan handed the menu on the table to Jiang Ning: “Order the dishes you like.”
Jiang Ning glanced at him: “You’re treating?”
He nodded: “I’m treating.”
Jiang Ning smiled with narrowed eyes: “How many dishes can I order.”
“Order whatever you want, but no wasting.” Xie Jingyan said.
The shop owner saw their interaction, feeling somewhat emotional and rueful, because the town was small, they basically knew all the kids around.
Plus Xie Jingyan was really born pretty.
As a child, he was delicately carved like jade, like a New Year picture doll, liked by many people.
Now grown up, he was even more cool and handsome, very appealing to little girls, in their impression, there was always a cute little girl with a round face by his side.
Now suddenly changed to an unfamiliar face, they were still a bit unaccustomed.
After ordering, Jiang Ning looked out the door from her seat, there weren’t many pedestrians, it seemed a bit desolate, but the pace of life here wasn’t as fast as in the city, actually quite suitable for retirement.
The next moment, a group of people came in from outside, all wearing hats, heads down, passing by Jiang Ning’s table.
Xie Jingyan’s hand sliding on the mobile phone screen paused.
He lightly raised his eyes, his gaze quickly locking onto these three people.
The next moment he withdrew his gaze.
The three sat at the table behind Jiang Ning.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but these three seemed odd.
Jiang Ning spoke to inquire: “Xie Jingyan, where are we staying later?”
Xie Jingyan replied: “I’ve already arranged it, after dinner we’ll go back to the hotel.”
Jiang Ning nodded.
The stir-frying was quick, Jiang Ning was very hungry, eating while calling out to Xie Jingyan.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Ning finally satisfiedly put down her chopsticks.
After Jiang Ning put down her chopsticks, the people at the table behind simultaneously put down their chopsticks.
Xie Jingyan furrowed his brows, his bad premonition growing.
He patted Jiang Ning’s shoulder: “Go pay the bill.”
Jiang Ning widened her eyes, looking at Xie Jingyan incredulously: “No way, how do you play this? You said you’d treat me before eating, and now after eating you tell me to pay! What do you mean?”
Xie Jingyan sighed: “Fine then, we’ll split the bill.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She looked at him with disdain: “I really misjudged you!”
Her favorable impression of Xie Jingyan dropped sharply.
What kind of person is this!
Going back on his word.
She could afford one meal.
She stormed toward the cashier.
Xie Jingyan didn’t care about her being angry, and hurriedly followed.
He grabbed her wrist, lowering his voice: “There are people watching you from behind, when we go out later, head straight to the police station, out this door, go straight 100 meters, turn left 500 meters, that’s the Xiao Ge Town police station.”
The anger in Jiang Ning’s heart stalled.
Only then did she sense the several malicious gazes from behind.
Her palm also slowly began to sweat.
So Xie Jingyan was trying to get her aside to tell her this?
Feeling someone approaching from behind, Xie Jingyan quickly said: “When we go out later, just go straight, don’t mind me, I’ll find a way to stall them.”
Jiang Ning suddenly felt some guilt in her heart, she seemed to have misunderstood him.
Xie Jingyan’s expression suddenly became conflicted, he touched his wallet, speaking to Jiang Ning awkwardly: “How about you pay it all? I seem to be out of money.”
Jiang Ning glared at him angrily: “No money and you still have the nerve to treat me to dinner, broke ass, get lost, don’t think about asking me out again! Pay it yourself, if you can’t, wash dishes here for a few days, disgusting.”
After cursing, she stormed out of the small restaurant.
So fast that the other two who were still eating didn’t react.
The two immediately dropped their chopsticks to chase, but were blocked by Xie Jingyan, he spoke pitifully: “Big brothers with money, can you lend me 100 bucks to pay for the meal? I left in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring it.”
Because of this delay, they were forced to stay in place for at least ten seconds.
The leader looked up, revealing the scar on his face, he shoved Xie Jingyan away: “Get lost.”
Xie Jingyan blocked them again: “But you haven’t paid either, where do you think you’re going?”
The commotion here quickly drew the shop owner who was busy in the back kitchen.
He lifted the curtain and came out, asking loudly: “What’s going on?”
Xie Jingyan blocked the entrance, not letting the three go out, pointing at them and complaining: “These three want to dine and dash without paying, good thing I stopped them for you, otherwise they would’ve really run.”
The shop owner, upon hearing this, immediately flew into a rage: “We’re just a small business, these stir-fries don’t cost much, if you gentlemen are really in a tough spot, just tell me, I’d treat you to a meal no problem, but how can you do something like dine and dash?”
Scarface wanted to get angry but didn’t dare speak, they couldn’t expose themselves, so he said: “We’ll pay.”
After saying that, he pulled out two hundred and slammed it on the table, glared viciously at Xie Jingyan, then said to the shop owner: “No change needed.”
After that, he took his two brothers out, identified the direction Jiang Ning left in, and chased after.
Chapter Two recommended to watch in half an hour.
