Chapter 44 When did she become a landlord? Impossible!

Although Ning Jinli's two bodyguards were in the car, they kept a close eye on her.

Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately got out of the car and rushed over to help.

One of them pried Zhao Bin's arm off and pushed him away, while the other quickly shielded Ning Jinli.

Zhao Bin staggered and almost fell.

"Miss Ning, are you alright?" the bodyguard asked with concern.

Ning Jinli rubbed her shoulder, which was sore from Zhao Bin's grip, and said, "It's alright... there's nothing seriously wrong."

Zhao Bin glanced at the two ordinary-looking but muscular men and sneered inwardly.

Ha, the old man who's keeping Ning Jinli is really going all out.

I bought her a luxury car not long ago, and now I've even arranged for bodyguards.

etc……

Could it be because he anonymously hired someone online a few days ago to deal with her, and that got discovered?

So Ning Jinli's sugar daddy sent people to protect her?

No wonder it's been five days and I still haven't received what I wanted. Ning Jinli is also fine and doesn't seem to have been raped at all.

Damn it, are those guys even any good...?

Zhao Bin pondered to himself for a while.

He couldn't find concrete evidence that Ning Jinli was being kept by someone, but he was unwilling to accept that he hadn't been able to sleep with her after four years of persistent pursuit, while she had given herself to a rich older man.

That's why he secretly used this method to retaliate and humiliate her.

“Sir,” the bodyguard said sternly, “Miss Ning is here to talk to you about business. Please show her some respect.”

Zhao Bin was furious. He remembered how he had been pushed away by the bodyguard and almost fell, looking quite pathetic. Enraged, he lunged at the bodyguard.

We can't let others bully us right at our own doorstep!

Bodyguards are not thugs, after all. They need to consider Miss Ning's safety, but they also cannot use excessive force against someone who is unarmed.

Otherwise, it would turn into a fight, which would cause unnecessary trouble for Miss Ning.

So the bodyguards tried to hold back their punches and kicks, only parrying, and then looked for an opportunity to subdue the other party.

However, Zhao Bin's wild, uncontrolled punches caused him to lose his balance, trip over his own feet, and fall flat on his face.

The two bodyguards looked at each other in bewilderment.

This guy looks young and is quite tall, but I didn't expect him to be so weak...

Zhao Bin scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth with a face full of resentment.

How embarrassing! So incredibly embarrassing!

But I can't win a fight...

I can't swallow this!

He suddenly had a bright idea and angrily shouted, "Well done, Ning Jinli! You dare to bring people to my doorstep to beat me up in broad daylight! I'm calling the police!"

The bodyguard quickly said, "We didn't lay a hand on you, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Bin sneered, "You didn't lay a hand on me? Then why is my mouth covered in blood? It's because you guys beat me up!"

"You..." The bodyguard was a little confused. "Miss Ning, this kid is being a scoundrel."

Ning Jinli waved her hand, a look of disdain for a clown appearing in her eyes.

Zhao Bin took out his phone, pretending to call the police, and said, "Ning Jinli, this is serious, I'm telling you! Breaking into a private residence and assaulting someone, you'll see how the police deal with you!"

Ning Jinli crossed her arms and asked with a half-smile, "Are you really going to call the police?"

"Scared?" Zhao Bin's bleeding lips curled into a victorious smile. "If you don't want me to call the police, then kneel down and say sorry to Brother Bin, and then pay me 100,000 or 200,000 yuan for medical expenses and mental distress."

Ning Jinli chuckled. "Then you should call the police."

Since the clown was in such a hurry to perform, she reluctantly watched it, hoping to relax and have some fun after a long period of hard work.

Zhao Bin's smile vanished, his eyes turning sinister. "Fine, I'll grant your wish."

When several police officers arrived, Zhao Bin preemptively played the victim and made a false accusation, exaggerating and twisting the truth to portray Ning Jinli as a thug who broke into his house and committed violence.

He was injured and looked disheveled; he really looked like he had been given a good beating.

In addition, Ning Jinli brought two bodyguards who were tall, strong, and somewhat intimidating in appearance.

Several police officers initially believed Zhao Bin's words to some extent, but still insisted on taking a statement first to understand the situation in detail.

"Mr. Zhao, you said you're a homeowner here, right?"

An officer looked up and around, then pointed to the security camera above the door. “Please show us the surveillance footage. That way, the situation will be clear.”

Zhao Bin said without changing his expression, "I'm sorry, the surveillance camera is broken."

"Really?" Ning Jinli smirked. "How conveniently bad."

She remembered clearly that the original owner had said that the villa was very well maintained and that there was not a single old or broken part of it.

"It's broken, it's broken!" Zhao Bin said matter-of-factly. "Don't I know my home security camera is malfunctioning?"

He then said to the police officers, "You all saw it, she and her thugs entered my house! And I'm injured like this, why would I need to look at the surveillance footage? The facts are right in front of us."

He's unlikely to provide the surveillance footage.

Firstly, giving it to him would prove he was lying.

Secondly, the surveillance cameras must have caught him bringing other girls over today, and he hasn't had time to delete them yet. If his rich girlfriend sees them later, he'll be in big trouble.

“In that case…” a younger officer said, “Please come with us for a detailed questioning and investigation.”

“I know your superiors,” Zhao Bin reminded him, “and we’ve even had dinner together a few times before.”

The young police officer frowned slightly.

But one of the older officers smiled and said, "Oh, I remember now, our superior is a friend of your girlfriend. I've seen both of you before."

The younger officer was about to say something when the older officer lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "These kinds of disputes are very troublesome to argue about. It's better to avoid trouble. Besides... it wouldn't be good if we offended our superiors."

"Alright, here's what we'll do." The older officer looked at Ning Jinli. "Please come with us, all three of you. If you don't want to go, you can choose to apologize, offer compensation, and try to reach a settlement. Hitting someone is never right."

Zhao Bin's eyes gleamed with smugness. "Ning Jinli, you're the one who told me to call the police."

"I'm giving you one last chance to tell the truth and hand over the surveillance footage." Ning Jinli said, casually unzipping her backpack.

Zhao Bin sneered, "Aren't you kidding me? I'm just stating the facts, and I already said the security cameras are broken! What, you think you can break into my house to look for me? Who do you think you are?"

"I am the owner of this house." Ning Jinli took out the property certificate and handed it to the police officer with a smile. "Please take a look."

Zhao Bin was stunned for a moment.

When did she become a landlord?

impossible!

"Huh? This house... it really is yours." The officer asked in surprise after inspecting it. "What exactly happened?"

"It's fake!" Zhao Bin blurted out in a panic, "She, she... she must have forged a property certificate!"

In Zhao Bin's view, no matter how absurd it may seem, this is the only reasonable explanation.

Even if the sugar daddy who's keeping Ning Jinli can buy her a luxury car worth two million and provide her with bodyguards, he would never buy her a villa in Lanyue Manor!

One set costs over 100 million!

No matter how beautiful Ning Jinli is, she could never hook up with such a wealthy man!

"Forging a property certificate?" Ning Jinli was both amused and exasperated. "How could you even think of that? What would I gain from it?"

"I don't care what you're after!" Zhao Bin refused to believe it, stubbornly insisting, "Anyway... this is a fake!"

Ning Jinli casually pulled out the rental agreement he signed with the previous landlord as well, "You can't deny this, can you?"

Zhao Bin took a look and his face turned pale instantly.

He froze, as if struck by lightning from head to toe.

He froze for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "You...you actually stole the landlord's rental agreement! What are you trying to do!"

Everyone else, including the police officers, was speechless.

"I understand!" Zhao Bin suddenly threw the contract on the ground, his face contorted in rage. "Ning Jinli! I've just realized how cunning you are!"

"I don't know what methods you used to find out I rented this villa, and then... and then you wanted to expose me, you wanted to humiliate me to my face! You came here today just for this, didn't you! You're so despicable!"

Although his conjectures were full of errors and could not withstand scrutiny.

But he had already gotten himself into a rut and couldn't accept reality, so he forced himself to find an explanation that he thought was reasonable.

"Fine, you've got guts," Zhao Bin said, veins bulging on his forehead, gripping his phone. "I'll call the landlord right now and expose your tricks! Forging property certificates and stealing rental contracts—you're going to jail!"

The call was answered quickly.

Zhao Bin, as if grasping at a last straw, hurriedly explained the situation.

However, the reply was that the landlord had sold the villa, and the buyer was Ning Jinli.

Snap—

Zhao Bin's phone fell to the ground.

He was stunned for two seconds, then roared at his phone with the shattered screen, "Why didn't you tell me you were selling the house!"

"Why should I tell you? Do I need your permission to buy my house? You're crazy." The person on the other end hung up immediately after saying that.

At that moment, Zhao Bin felt as if his soul had been ripped from his body, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Ning Jinli said to the police officers, "As the owner of this house, I am entitled to provide you with the surveillance footage, right?"

"Of course, that goes without saying!" The young police officer nodded vigorously.

The older officer remained silent.

Ning Jinli's lips curled slightly. "Then I'd like to invite you all to take a good look at what Mr. Zhao just did. I'm going to sue him for indecent assault."

"Ning... Jinli..." Zhao Bin snapped out of his daze and scrambled to Ning Jinli's feet. "Don't do this, I... I apologize to you, okay?"

Ning Jinli looked down at his face, covered in cold sweat, and pleading in fear. She curled her lip and said, "If admitting your mistake is enough, what's the point of having police?"

"Jinli! I beg you!" Zhao Bin continued to plead, "I know I was wrong, I really am!"

Ning Jinli's eyes had turned cold as she said indifferently, "You don't know you're wrong, you just realize you're going to be punished and you're scared."

The surveillance video is solid evidence; it can not only prove that Zhao Bin injured himself, but also at the very least, charge him with indecent assault.

Ning Jinli said seriously to the police officers, "I am going to file a police report and I will not settle. He should be punished according to the law."

She then handed the surveillance footage over to the police officers.

After the police officers reviewed the document, they made a copy, then lifted Zhao Bin, who was limp as a rag doll, handcuffed him, and took him away in a police car.

"How long will I be sentenced to?" Zhao Bin stammered as he asked the police officer.

One officer replied, "Luckily you didn't do anything more outrageous. In fact, the bodyguard's intervention saved you. If you had actually forced yourself into sex, you'd be in jail for three to five years. But judging from the surveillance footage, your case is relatively minor; a period of administrative detention would be about right."

Zhao Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just detention, nothing to be afraid of.

If he says a few nice things to his rich girlfriend, she'll spend some money to bail him out.

The police car slowly started moving.

Zhao Bin turned to look out the window. Ning Jinli's figure grew farther and farther away, his eyes growing colder and colder. He silently thought, "You bitch...you just wait..."

...

Ning Jinli took a walk around the villa to get a feel for the living environment.

It's a large detached villa with beautiful landscaping and a lake nearby.

Having such a quiet place in the city, which is both convenient for going out and very livable, I believe Aunt Su will really like it.

Moreover, the property management in this villa area also keeps ornamental birds such as swans and peacocks.

From the front yard of the villa Ning Jinli bought, you can see swans with their cygnets playing in the lake.

She gazed at the fertile land covered with green plants and the swans frolicking on the water, and remembered Aunt Su saying that she hoped to return to the countryside when she got old, to plant some things and raise some chickens and ducks.

Perhaps every Chinese person, regardless of wealth or poverty, harbors this longing for rural life deep in their heart...

These are all concepts passed down from our ancestors and ingrained in our blood.

"Oh, right!" Ning Jinli looked at the beautiful scenery, her thoughts racing. "Although it hasn't rained in Linxian Village yet, the groundwater has basically solved their water problem. While it's still summer, I need to hurry and send them some crop seeds!"

"Hmm...and fertilizer!"

"How about we buy some more chickens, ducks, piglets, and lambs? Then we'll need to arrange for feed too..."

Ning Jinli immediately took action, grabbing her phone and starting to search for relevant manufacturers online.

...

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Outside Xitun Pass, yellow sand filled the sky and the setting sun was like blood.

The vast loess plain suddenly becomes rugged and uneven about 30 miles from Xitun Pass.

The bizarre and varied hills of earth and stone form a complex and intricate terrain, extending far westward to the north and south of Tunguan, eventually rising into towering mountains on both sides and around Linxian Village.

In the earthen and rocky hills, a drone took off and in the blink of an eye became a small black dot in the sky.

"Your Majesty, they're here!" The scout held up the remote control, showing Xiao Qidi the situation on the screen.

Just as Xiao Qidi judged based on the terrain reconnaissance by the drone, the 30,000 vanguard troops of the Yu Kingdom were marching in this direction.

This is a valley in a group of earthen and rocky hills, where the ground is relatively flat.

"General Li, have the gas cylinder explosives been buried?" Xiao Qidi asked.

Li Yao's eyes gleamed, "It's been buried for a while now, just waiting for those bastards to come!"

Xiao Qidi said, "Pass down the order: everyone must hide and await my command at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yao picked up the walkie-talkie at his waist and gave a few instructions. Immediately, all the more than a thousand Xuanjia soldiers in the valley hid themselves.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

The noisy hooves and footsteps of the Yu Kingdom's 30,000 elite troops grew closer, but they suddenly stopped at the entrance to this valley...
