Chapter 60: Because I Want To See You
Jiang Ning lied about having a belly ache and wanting to go to the hospital, so the security guard opened the door for her.
The security guard recognized Jiang Ning and let her go without suspicion.
Jiang Ning took a taxi to Zero Degree.
Along the way, she asked Little Honey: “What’s the situation now? Is there this plot in the original book?”
Little Honey was also confused: [I don’t know either…]
Jiang Ning: “…”
“What’s the use of you?”
Little Honey huffed: [I’m just a system, not an encyclopedia that knows everything. Some hidden plots are glossed over by the author of this book, or it could be retribution from this world because you messed up the plot.]
Jiang Ning: “…”
Fine.
She could accept being made into a vicious female supporting character.
But being a brainless fangirl lapdog, she would really thank you.
She couldn’t do it at all.
“Whatever pits there are, I’ll fill them all.”
Little Honey: […]
It really wanted to teach Jiang Ning a lesson.
But seeing the 65% progress, forget it, big shot’s happiness comes first.
Jiang Ning’s right hand touched the wound on her left hand, her expression troubled.
What if she had to fight later and her wound burst open.
The other party was probably an enemy and knew her, from that tone treating her like a toy for amusement.
The other party was also from the Capital City.
Unable to think of anything reasonable, Jiang Ning called Father Jiang.
Ever since he had a big fight with Madam Jiang yesterday, he was now sleeping directly at the company.
The other side quickly picked up, and Father Jiang’s doting voice came through: “Baby daughter, did you miss Dad?”
“No.” Jiang Ning’s answer was concise and clear.
Father Jiang: “…”
Heartbroken.
Clearly, his daughter used to stick to him all the time.
Ever since her grandmother came, his daughter started to distance herself.
Father Jiang sighed sourly.
Then his tone turned serious: “Then why did you call Dad? Out of pocket money? Ning Ning, although our family has money, you can’t be too extravagant. You have to spend frugally. I can only give you 100,000 in pocket money each month. No more if you want extra.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Boo hoo hoo, 100,000 a month, she already felt 100% happiness, and Madam Jiang would randomly transfer her money from time to time.
The joy of a second generation rich was just that simple and crude.
She cleared her throat and decided to get to the point: “I’m not calling you for money. I want to ask, besides my missing sister, and me and my younger brother, do you have any illegitimate children outside?”
“Pfft cough cough cough.”
The sound of a teacup being knocked over came from the other side, mixed with Father Jiang’s violent coughing.
“What the hell?!” He suddenly raised his voice sharply.
Jiang Ning found it a bit piercing and quickly moved the phone away from her ear.
“Illegitimate child? What nonsense are you spouting! I don’t have any of those messy kids.” Father Jiang hurriedly denied.
He only had three children.
Now at his age, he had no interest in that aspect and wasn’t planning to have more.
“Is that so?” Jiang Ning expressed doubt.
Father Jiang felt like he was about to have a heart attack: “You don’t even believe your own dad?”
Jiang Ning laughed awkwardly twice. Who could blame Father Jiang for his history? It wasn’t impossible for him to have an illegitimate child.
“I’m just asking. Don’t get agitated, Dad. Isn’t it possible that someone had a child behind your back?”
Father Jiang: “…”
A vein throbbed at his temple: “Jiang Ning! If you dare say this in front of your mom, I’ll beat you to death!”
Madam Jiang’s spirit was already unstable, beating her own child without blinking. If there really was an illegitimate child, Father Jiang didn’t dare imagine how crazy she could get.
“Cough, I’m just asking you one thing, Dad. You really don’t have any?”
Father Jiang swore that if Jiang Ning were in front of him, he would definitely beat this brat hard.
He gritted his teeth: “No! I wouldn’t leave a hidden danger by my side, and… there were reasons for what happened back then. I let your mom down. Don’t mention this again.”
Father Jiang hung up after speaking.
Otherwise, he would be pissed off to death by Jiang Ning.
Having received a definite answer, Jiang Ning ruled out the illegitimate child option.
So it was a business enemy?
But… why didn’t this enemy go after her dad, but vent on her younger brother?
He was beaten just yesterday, his wounds not fully healed, and now beaten again today.
Jiang Ning tsked inwardly, hoping that kid was still breathing. If he was dead, she could only turn back.
The taxi stopped outside Zero Degree Bar.
This bar was huge, a full five stories tall.
Besides the lively dance floor and deafening DJ music on the first floor, the upper floors had entertainment poker rooms, private rooms, karaoke, male models, young girls, and suites for sleeping on the top floor. It had everything. If you got drunk here, you could even open a room at the front desk.
But the room rates were frighteningly expensive, 1888 a night.
Jiang Ning looked up at the flashing neon sign.
She walked inside following the room number Chen Shuyan left her.
Third Floor, 301 private room.
She took the elevator and found that this floor had been cleared.
Two bodyguards in black were guarding the entrance.
Seeing Jiang Ning arrive.
They checked the photograph in their hands, which matched Jiang Ning completely, before stepping aside to let her in.
Jiang Ning pushed open the private room door. The light inside was very dim, mixed with a foul bloody smell.
Jiang Ning immediately saw Chen Shuyan curled up in the corner, beaten badly.
Seeing Jiang Ning really come, her tears streamed down.
She wasn’t heartbroken for Jiang Ning’s upcoming ordeal. She just knew she could escape from this hellish place.
Jiang Ning’s gaze shifted and saw Jiang Yan.
He was sprawled on the ground. Jiang Ning saw his body rising and falling slightly and knew he wasn’t dead yet.
Finally, she turned her gaze to the person sitting in the middle of the sofa.
She thought it would be some very mature man, but it turned out to be a youth who looked about her age.
He was dressed all in black, with eyes like a hawk. His face wasn’t ugly, but not very handsome either—very ordinary. But his exceptionally sharp aura made people feel he was not to be provoked.
There were also two thugs in the room. Seeing Jiang Ning enter, they showed malicious grins.
Jiang Ning tilted her head slightly, red lips parting: “Who are you?”
The youth chuckled roughly: “I’m Huo Chengxuan, from the Capital City. I heard you’re very bad, which interests me, so I want to test how tough your bones are.”
His tone was contemptuous, treating Jiang Ning no different from a plaything.
Huo Chengxuan?
Jiang Ning had no impression.
She straightened her back: “I don’t care where you’re from. Since you came to Jin Cheng, you should have heard of the Jiang Family. Aren’t you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself by causing trouble on our turf?”
After Jiang Ning spoke, Huo Chengxuan laughed and slapped his thigh hard, his expression and manner somewhat manic.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, judging inwardly that this person was definitely psychologically abnormal and very bloodthirsty.
Because he held a bloodstained knife, and at his feet was Chen Shuyan’s little finger.
“Bring trouble? Do you know why I came to Jin Cheng?” Huo Chengxuan stopped laughing, his expression crazily sinister: “Because I gouged out a second generation rich kid’s eye in the Capital Circle and cut off his lifeline. My grandfather sent me out of the Capital City to lie low for a year, and I chose Jin Cheng because I wanted to see you.”
