Chapter 136: Letting the Wolf In
As soon as Tong Yangyang finished speaking, Ling Hanmu slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching sharply against the road.
Ling Hanmu glared back at her with a dark expression, “Please, just shut up!”
Tong Yangyang looked innocent, “That’s my freedom, no one can restrict me.”
Xia Chenge frowned, wanting to get out of the car and away from Tong Yangyang.
“Little brother, don’t mind her.” Ling Hanmu keenly noticed Xia Chenge’s expression was off and quickly tried to appease her, “My relationship with her isn’t what you think.”
“What do you mean, ‘not what I think’? It’s exactly like that, this is just trying to cover up what’s already obvious.” Tong Yangyang, fearing no chaos, fanned the flames, “Chenge, don’t believe men, they’re all big liars.”
Ling Hanmu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing through them, “Is that so? I think it’s necessary to relay that to someone, or tell someone that you’re in Country A!”
Hearing this, Xia Chenge suddenly felt something was off. She slightly turned her head to glance at Tong Yangyang.
“Hey, hey, just kidding, Brother Mu, don’t take it seriously.” Tong Yangyang’s expression changed faster than flipping a book.
“Don’t! Call! Me! Brother! Mu!” Ling Hanmu gritted his teeth, “Can you have some dignity, Miss Ning Xia? How dare you call someone who is a few years younger than you ‘brother’?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Chenge’s eyes widened in disbelief: Ning Xia? Tong Yangyang is Ning Xia? Was she hallucinating?
“Isn’t it popular to call people ‘little brother’ nowadays? Calling you ‘little brother’ just proves you’re good-looking.” Tong Yangyang rolled her eyes.
She paused, then looked at Xia Chenge seriously and extended her hand, “Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Ning Xia, from Country Z.”
Xia Chenge dazedly shook her hand, still finding it unbelievable, “Ning Xia, the Young Lady of Ye Group from Country Z?”
“It’s me.” Tong Yangyang, no, Ning Xia, nodded with a smile.
“The Ye family and the Meng family are both looking for you…”
“They don’t know I’m in Country Z. I hope this remains a secret for you too.”
Xia Chenge really wanted to ask why, but she caught a fleeting glimpse of pain in Ning Xia’s eyes and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
“I asked her to come help.” Ling Hanmu said calmly, “It just so happens she also needs to come to Haicheng to investigate some matters.”
“I don’t think I quite understand what you’re trying to say!” Xia Chenge was confused. Ning Xia had been missing for three years and hadn’t contacted anyone from Country Z, yet she suddenly appeared at the Ling family’s. Was there some big secret involved?
“Little brother, you just need to cooperate with Sister Ning at school, you don’t need to interfere with anything else.” Ling Hanmu explained.
“Your fiancée is very smart, there’s no need to hide it from her.” Ning Xia glanced at him sideways, then seriously told Xia Chenge the purpose of her visit.
Ning Xia’s arrival in Haicheng was for a secret mission. They had investigated and found that a certain force in Haicheng was closely involved with an international terrorist organization, and suspected that this force was the main base of that terrorist organization.
Furthermore, they had also discovered that this force seemed to be related to the Ling family. Thus, Ning Xia came to the Ling family under the guise of Tong Yangyang to secretly investigate which members of the Ling family were in contact with that organization.
After hearing Ning Xia’s words, Xia Chenge suddenly thought of the laboratory hidden deep in the mountains in the suburbs of Haicheng.
Unfortunately, the police had completely destroyed that laboratory to avoid public panic, leaving no trace behind.
“Besides attending Yan Sheng High School, I have another identity.” Ning Xia said, “However, this identity might require your cooperation.”
“Is there something I need to do?” Xia Chenge asked.
“How about we form a duo and debut?” Ning Xia said with a smile.
“Debut?” Xia Chenge felt she couldn’t keep up with Ning Xia’s jumping thoughts.
“Yes, those people aren’t stupid. I need to divert their attention elsewhere. Otherwise, if they become suspicious, the Ling family will also suffer. It’s already a risky endeavor, I can’t let the Ling family share my risk.” Ning Xia said seriously.
“Moreover, I’ve observed you. Your combat skills are very impressive, probably the only opponent I’ve encountered so far. Also, the Xia family doesn’t attract as much attention as the Ling family, so they won’t suspect the Xia family. Therefore, you and the Xia family are safe.”
Xia Chenge gave a wry smile, “I’m afraid I’m more dangerous than the Ling family.”
Too many people wanted to kill her. Ning Xia wouldn’t implicate her; rather, she might implicate Ning Xia and expose Ning Xia’s identity.
“Chenge, isn’t dealing with scum easier than eating?” Ning Xia chuckled lightly, proudly stating, “The only thing that can kill me is natural disaster; man-made disasters are impossible!”
Xia Chenge looked at her, as if seeing her past self during the Apocalypse, confident and flamboyant.
It seemed that after her rebirth, she had too many things to worry about and hadn’t truly been herself.
She was the Young Lady of the Xia family, and also the number one genius girl of the Apocalypse, Xia Chenge!
“Okay!” Xia Chenge agreed with a smile.
“So, driver little brother, can we continue to school now?” Ning Xia teased Ling Hanmu, who had been silent.
Ling Hanmu raised an eyebrow, “I’m warning you, don’t bully my little brother, don’t take advantage of my little brother, or I’ll tell Meng Beichen that you’re in Haicheng, Country A.”
Ning Xia hid the pain in her eyes, then looked at Xia Chenge with a helpless expression, “Chenge, why is your fiancé so fussy?”
Xia Chenge spread her hands, “I don’t know either, maybe it’s deep love?”
“Little brother, muah, I’m glad you understand my feelings.” Ling Hanmu, filled with joy, gave Xia Chenge a kiss.
Seeing this, Ning Xia’s face immediately fell, “Before, I was the one who had to witness others showing affection. Now the tables have turned, do you want to eat your dog food? Organization, I request a mission to Africa!”
Ling Hanmu felt a sense of pride in winning, “Go on, call out! Shout your lungs out, you’ll still be forced to eat dog food. This is called retribution.”
“Chenge, your fiancé is bullying me.” Ning Xia simply hugged Xia Chenge’s arm and acted spoiled.
“Ning Xia, let go of your claws, don’t touch my little brother! I haven’t even hugged her to act spoiled, and you dare to take my place, I’m not done with you!” Ling Hanmu saw Ning Xia’s action in the rearview mirror and was furious with jealousy.
After all, Ning Xia was the national husband to countless girls in Country Z, having swayed the hearts of many. What if she swayed his future wife? Who would he cry to then?
Cut off this kind of thing at the source!
“What, afraid Chenge will fall in love with me?” Ning Xia deliberately provoked him, tilting her head and blinking her eyes at Xia Chenge, “Chenge, do you like me?”
Even though Xia Chenge was a girl, she was almost electrocuted by Ning Xia’s charming gaze, her heart rate accelerating.
“I do.” Xia Chenge nodded. Strong individuals always admired each other, and she was no exception.
“I don’t want to live anymore!” Ling Hanmu’s eyes welled up with tears. Had he brought a wolf into his house? “How can you steal my wife, Sister Ning!”
How could my Xia give Senior Meng a whole green grassland? Little cuties who guessed wrong, quickly throw your recommendation tickets.
Ning Xia: *Sniffle sniffle*, I’m on a mission, and this pot fell from the sky. Senior Meng, believe me, I haven’t betrayed you!
Meng Beichen: Xia Xia, where are you? Are you still alive?
Ling Hanmu: Meng Beichen, stop blabbering and take your wife away quickly, she’s trying to steal my wife!
Xia Chenge: Ling Hanmu, you dare to betray Sister Ning’s whereabouts, are you looking for death?
Ling Hanmu: Little brother, you’re protecting her, have you really been swayed? I’m about to go berserk!
