Previous life, Jiang Ning's whole family were cannon fodder in a novel about the protagonists' rise to fame and success, living as a contrasting background to them. Under the crushing press...
Jiang Ning stopped the car, got out, leaned on the car door, and looked at them.
"Who are you? Bring out your boss!"
With her imposing presence, she stopped the group from approaching the vehicle.
"Wow, this woman's got some nerve, daring to talk to us like that."
The leader was a burly man with a thick beard.
After realizing that it was just two women who had come, he waved his hand and ordered his men to surround the car.
Jiang Ning glanced at Wang Meizhu and nodded slightly, knowing that a fight was inevitable.
Before the bearded man could get close, she quickly got into the car and started the engine.
Wang Meizhu got out of the car, ready to fight.
She'd run them over if they dared to make a move.
Hearing the roar of the engine, the bearded man stepped aside.
Wang Meizhu opened the car door, got in, and drove inside.
When they arrived at the dock, they found that the gantry cranes on the dock were loading other people's containers.
She went directly to the person in charge of the dock.
The person in charge, with typical bureaucratic mannerisms, remained indifferent and cold when they entered.
Upon learning their purpose, he snorted:
“I’m just following orders. If you’re so capable, go find our leaders! They’re part of a corporate alliance and have priority. They’re not someone I, a lowly manager, can control.”
This trip was Jiang Ning's first time visiting the dock and her first time getting up close to their work process.
"Brother, could you do me a favor and tell me how long it will take before our goods can be loaded?"
Jiang Ning suppressed her nausea and gave the person in charge a pack of cigarettes and two hundred yuan.
The person in charge then told them that someone had deliberately delayed their shipment.
"Did you offend someone from the corporate alliance? They sent people to keep an eye on things at the dock. As soon as your goods are loaded, someone comes out to stop them. Our people can't do anything about it. We don't know what kind of backing they have."
Jiang Ning was furious. Who was behind all this underhanded stuff?
The goods can't be loaded onto the ship these next two days, so we'll have to wait for the next one.
It seems she has to meet with those people, otherwise the others won't show up.
Jiang Ning brought Wang Meizhu back to the entrance, drove the car directly in front of the bearded man, and forced him to move aside.
With nowhere to retreat, he was forced to stand in front of a wall.
"You woman, you're really something! Do you know who's backing me? How dare you do this!"
The bearded man jumped into the car and stared at her through the glass.
Jiang Ning grabbed reverse, stepped on the gas, and reversed sharply, then drifted, throwing off his beard.
She opened the door and got out of the car without any fear.
"I have no grudge against you, so there's no need for us to become enemies. All I need is for you to tell me who the mastermind is?"
As she spoke, she took out a wad of cash from her pocket and placed it on the car, essentially paying for the information.
Just as the two were locked in a fierce struggle, a Jeep sped up, leaving a trail of dust behind it, and stopped beside her car.
The next second, Jack got out of the car wearing large sunglasses.
"Jiang Ning, it's been a long time!"
He took off his sunglasses, revealing a wicked smile.
Jiang Ning snorted, "Who do we have here? Oh, it's you. Not bad, you've got a new car."
Seeing that Jiang Ning showed no surprise or fear upon seeing him, his facial muscles twitched, and he said with a hint of displeasure:
"Jiang Ning, you first caused me to be exposed in front of my wife, and then you made my wife restricted from entering the country. Do you think I'll let you get away with this?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, giving instructions to the bearded man.
"Hit him! I'll pay for it if you break it!"
Jiang Ning never expected Jack to be so ruthless, starting a group fight in broad daylight, but she didn't back down and, together with Wang Meizhu, began to fight back against them.
When she was depressed in her previous life, Lin Chen took her to boxing to improve her health, so she still had some skills.
Wang Meizhu also had impressive explosive power; she quickly made those people realize her strength and dared not approach her.
After playing for a while, both of them felt exhausted and had to change their strategy.
“Target, Jack,” Jiang Ning gestured to Wang Meizhu.
The two then attacked Jack.
Jack backed away, and the men stood guard beside him.
Jiang Ning and Wang Meizhu's fists couldn't penetrate his body.
In order to get rid of the little rascals next to her, she took out a packet of itching powder from her spatial storage and sprinkled it on them.
Those people were careless, not expecting her to suddenly pull out something like this. They all fell for it, and their fighting ability was greatly reduced due to the itching.
Jiang Ning approached Jack and slapped him across the face.
Wang Meizhu broke through the encirclement, approached Jack, and punched him in the nose, causing him to bleed profusely.
After the two men subdued Jack, no one dared to approach him again.
"Jiang Ning, what are you doing? I'm from the US, don't do anything reckless."
Jack still couldn't hide his arrogance.
Jiang Ning sneered: "You know you're a foreigner, huh? You dare to trick me? You're tired of living, aren't you? Believe it or not, I can make you disappear without a trace!"
Jack was already under their control and had no choice but to lower his stance.
"I believe, I trust..."
Unexpectedly, he pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Jiang Ning with deadly intent.
When Wang Meizhu saw this, she pushed her away, but unexpectedly, her own arm was cut by the knife.
Bright red blood gushed out from the clothes.
"Mei-joo!"
Jiang Ning quickly helped her up.
They couldn't linger any longer, so she quickly helped her back to the car and drove away.
Jack is a foreigner; even if he killed someone, he might be fine as long as he's extradited back.
She couldn't confront him directly here.
Seeing Wang Meizhu clutching her arm and enduring the pain, Jiang Ning drove to the hospital with mixed feelings.
By the time Wang Meizhu's wound was bandaged, it was already past 7 p.m.
"I'm going to buy some food."
Jiang Ning told her to rest first and left the ward.
Instead of going to buy anything right away, she called Lin Chen.
When Lin Chen heard that Wang Meizhu was injured, he hurriedly asked her if she was alright.
Jiang Ning said it was fine, but he still decided to come to Jinshi.
After calling Lin Chen, she called Ross, but the phone at Ross Hotel rang for a long time without anyone answering.
Maybe he's on a business trip to another country.
All she could do was call Robert.
Robert told her not to rush, that he would ask about the situation, and that if Jack dared to do such a thing on his own, he would definitely not let him off the hook.
After making the phone call, Jiang Ning went to a restaurant, bought food, and returned to her ward.
The thought that if anything happened to her, she could at least turn to Lin Chen, and that she would have a group of people who would stand up for her, filled her with a pang of sadness.
Wang Meizhu was all alone in the capital city. When something happened, she didn't even have a relative she could contact.
She even stood up for herself, which is really admirable.
"Miju, dinner's ready."
She shook Wang Meizhu awake, who was resting with her eyes closed.
Wang Meizhu sat up and smiled.
"Oh dear, I'm starving! What's good to eat?"
