Chapter 54: Jiang Ning, I Hate You
Following the police was Jiang Ning’s Uncle Sui Mao.
He saw his own daughter covered in mud stains all over her body, with a big gash on her forehead, and instantly his eyes turned red with heartache.
“Tang Tang, Dad came late, you’ve suffered, come to Daddy for a hug!”
He opened his arms forward, but Sui Tang pushed him away and ran toward Jiang Ning: “Wah wah wah, Cousin, are you okay? You scared me to death.”
The moment Sui Mao saw Jiang Ning, his facial expression changed, and his voice involuntarily rose several tones: “Ning Ning? Why are you here too?!”
He had received a notification from the police that his daughter had been kidnapped by the murderer.
He had nearly fainted from fear and didn’t dare tell the elders at home or Sui Tang’s mother, otherwise the two elders would be anxious enough to have a heart attack.
All the way, he silently chanted Amitabha Buddha, and fortunately his daughter only had minor injuries, but Jiang Ning’s blood-soaked sleeve told him that Jiang Ning’s injuries were more serious than Sui Tang’s.
Sui Tang cried nonstop: “Dad, it was Cousin who saved me. Without her, I would have died long ago. Wah wah, she’s badly injured too. What to do.”
Jiang Ning felt a bit embarrassed. This injury was just a cut, probably because she pressed down on the murderer too hard, causing more bleeding, but it actually wasn’t serious.
She quickly waved her hand: “I’m fine, Uncle. Can you please not tell my mom about this? I don’t want her to worry.”
Sui Mao’s expression was complicated. Normally, he only knew this niece of his liked to fool around and do evil outside. Usually, let alone getting injured, even if bitten by a mosquito, she would whine and complain to her mother.
Now she was actually afraid of worrying Madam Jiang about her injury.
Thinking of his sister’s sensitive and vulnerable mental issues, he sighed with some headache: “Uncle knows. This matter won’t be told to your mother.”
The murderer was subdued and handcuffed with silver handcuffs.
As he passed by Jiang Ning, he gave her a creepy smile: “You’ll die, I guarantee it.”
The police escorting him scolded sternly: “Shut up. If you want to talk, save it for the station where you can talk all you want.”
As for his injuries, the police pretended not to see them. For such societal scum, stabbing him a few more times would feel good.
Besides the little girl from Seventh Middle School whom he killed, he was responsible for a total of seven lives. His arrest was already a dead end.
Jiang Ning smirked at him: “Talk about it after you get out alive.”
The murderer’s eyes turned cold for an instant.
Later, Jiang Ning and Sui Tang were sent to the hospital.
Jiang Ning’s arm was stitched up, and she looked at the centipede-like scar, finding it somewhat unbearable to see.
Sui Tang felt guilty beside her and kept shedding tears. Her forehead was also wrapped in gauze, and she had changed into a clean set of clothes.
She sat by Jiang Ning’s side, chattering: “Cousin, just in that instant, I figured it out. I’ll listen to you. I’ll study hard, become outstanding. I don’t need others to like me. I just need you to be okay. I don’t care about Zhou Yuchu or Chen Yuchu anymore. I won’t pay attention to them.”
Jiang Ning nodded happily: “Yes, no men in the heart, draw the sword naturally divine. No one can harm you.”
Sui Tang nodded obediently, then changed the subject: “But… your skills were so cool. Where did you learn them?”
She was a bit puzzled.
She grew up with Jiang Ning since childhood. Didn’t she know what she could do?
Jiang Ning: “…”
Oh no, in her haste to save the person, she forgot to hide her abilities.
Jiang Ning suddenly patted Sui Tang’s shoulder earnestly: “If I say I learned it in a dream, would you believe me? Because I was so afraid something would happen to you, I awakened my potential. It might be the only time in my life!”
Sui Tang was somewhat shocked, her mouth agape in surprise. Seeing Jiang Ning’s serious expression, she believed it.
“Cousin, you’re amazing. Why didn’t I have such a dream? Damn it.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
This sweet and naive girl.
She coughed lightly and brushed it off: “Maybe I’m the chosen one. Don’t dwell on it. How am I supposed to go home later? How about I stay at your house for one night?”
Sui Tang looked troubled at her tightly wrapped left hand: “Do you think if we go back like this, my grandparents won’t notice anything unusual?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She had wanted to beg Sui Mao to lie and take her to stay at the Sui Family for one night, but instead of the Sui Family’s car, Madam Jiang arrived with eyes red and swollen from crying.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s arm wrapped in white gauze, Madam Jiang’s tears flowed again: “Ning Ning, my baby, how could you not tell Mom about such a big incident? Do you want to worry me to death?”
Jiang Ning looked at Sui Mao, who was half a step behind Madam Jiang. He smiled awkwardly and then looked away.
Very well, she had trusted this uncle too much.
Jiang Ning immediately used her uninjured hand to comfort Madam Jiang: “Mom, look, I’m perfectly fine. If I hadn’t gone to save Tang Tang, she would have died tonight. Using one of my hands to exchange for her life, I think it’s worth it.”
Jiang Ning grinned, trying to lighten the mood.
Madam Jiang naturally knew, but she just felt heartbroken for her child.
Sui Mao stepped forward: “Alright, Ning Ning did a good deed for the city this time. You should be happy for her.”
Madam Jiang wanted to smile but couldn’t: “If possible, I hope she never stands out for good deeds her whole life. Big Brother, Ning Ning is my life.”
Jiang Ning felt warm inside, yet also sour and uncomfortable.
She really envied the original body for having family who loved her so much.
She was like a thief, guarding everything that didn’t belong to her.
She reached out her right hand and hugged Madam Jiang tightly: “Mom, I promise you, I won’t get into trouble.”
Thunder and rain started outside.
The luxury car carrying Jiang Ning slowly drove into the manor.
A thin figure with a straight back was kneeling at the entrance.
His back was whipped full of blood traces, the rainwater diluted them, and the heavy rain soaked him completely.
Jiang Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively looked at Madam Jiang’s indifferent facial expression.
A servant came to hold an umbrella for Madam Jiang and Jiang Ning.
Madam Jiang didn’t even lift her eyes as she passed by Jiang Yan, whose face was pale.
“Ning Ning, come in quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold from the rain.”
Jiang Ning stopped by Jiang Yan’s side: “Mom… Jiang Yan he…”
Madam Jiang’s brows were cold: “I’ve said the Jiang Family doesn’t keep idlers. I told him to protect you well, but he came back first, causing you to get hurt. Ning Ning, he’s just an unrelated person. Don’t pity him. He should be grateful you’re okay. If something happened to you, I would kill him.”
“But…”
“Ning Ning! Come in.”
Madam Jiang’s gentle brows turned serious.
She walked inside first.
Jiang Ning took the umbrella from the servant with her right hand and stood by Jiang Yan’s side, shielding him from half the wind and rain.
But Jiang Yan was innocent.
It was she who told him to go back first.
Sui Tang’s matter was just an accident.
Who would have known such a thing would happen.
The clothes on Jiang Yan’s back were whipped to shreds, exposing skin turned pale by the rainwater.
He looked up, and Jiang Ning couldn’t tell if the water on his face was rain or tears.
His voice was hoarse, filled with weary hopelessness: “Jiang Ning, I hate you.”
