Jiang Ning woke up to find herself transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a年代文 (chronicle novel)...
Chapter 465 Meeting Shen Mo
Jiang Ning thought about it carefully. She had only been in Hong Kong for a few days and hadn't offended anyone.
Suddenly she thought of something, and upon reflection, she realized that she hadn't been without offending anyone.
The Qiao family's location in Hong Kong is sensitive, and she has been staying there recently, which suggests that someone might have designs on her.
I just don't know if this is directed at her or the Qiao family.
Wang Hong said, "They're not following us closely, sister-in-law, don't worry, we'll protect you."
Jiang Ning nodded. She would be able to return to the capital in two days. She planned to stay at the Qiao family home and not go anywhere else until she finished the last course of treatment for Mr. Qiao before returning to the capital.
That evening, Jiang Ning was invited by Mr. Qiao to a restaurant for dinner.
After several days of treatment, Qiaoyunshan's father's condition was much better than on the first day.
While eating, Mr. Qiao asked slowly, "Dr. Jiang, have you settled in well these past few days in Hong Kong? Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Jiang Ning replied with a smile, "I don't need anything, and I've already bothered you these past few days."
"Dr. Jiang, please don't say such things. Our relationship is mutual. Dr. Jiang saved me, and I will always remember this kindness," said Mr. Qiao.
After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Ning put down her utensils and asked, "Dr. Jiang, are you finished eating?"
Jiang Ning nodded and picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "Dr. Jiang, you've finished eating. Come with me to the living room. I have a gift for you."
Upon hearing about the gift, Jiang Ning instinctively wanted to refuse, but Qiao's father quickly said, "Dr. Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to refuse? Why don't you come with me to see what the gift is?"
The other party insisted.
Fine, I'll go take a look. Whether she accepts it or not is up to her.
Upon entering the magnificent living room, Mr. Qiao gently gestured for Jiang Ning to sit down on a single sofa.
"Dr. Jiang, please have a seat."
Jiang Ning sat down on the single sofa, and Li Yue, Wang Hao, and the other six stood behind her.
After sitting down, Mr. Qiao slowly poured Jiang Ning a cup of tea.
After finishing his tea and putting down his teacup, he suddenly clapped his hands.
"Go in."
As the clapping subsided, several bodyguards from the Qiao family escorted two people in.
The two men who were brought in looked unwilling, and even when the bodyguards forced them to kneel down, they still looked disdainful.
The gentleness on Mr. Qiao's face had vanished, replaced by the aura of a superior.
He waved his hand, and the bodyguards holding the men kicked the two men in the back of the knees without hesitation.
The two men who were unwilling to kneel down suddenly felt a pain in their knees, their legs went weak, and they knelt on the ground.
Mr. Qiao's gaze softened slightly as he looked at Jiang Ning. "Dr. Jiang, my people discovered you were being followed. It was these two. Are you satisfied with this gift?"
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
After she came to her senses, she looked at Mr. Qiao and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao."
Mr. Qiao waved his hand, "Hey, Dr. Jiang, why are you thanking me? Dr. Jiang treated my illness, so of course I have to ensure Dr. Jiang's safety. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I will feel guilty, and Yunshan will make a huge scene with me."
The two men kneeling on the ground glared angrily at Mr. Qiao and threatened him fiercely, "Mr. Qiao, we are from the Bu Li Society. If you arrest us, you can forget about cooperating with our society in the future."
As soon as the other party spoke, Jiang Ning knew what country they were from.
Mr. Qiao sneered, "Who wants to cooperate with you? I have never had the thought of doing business with the Japanese. Don't think I don't know about the dirty things you've done with other gangs."
After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Ning and asked, "Dr. Jiang, what do you want to do with these two people?"
Jiang Ning sighed, "This is truly a port city of this era."
Talking about disciplining people is as easy as drinking water.
"I'll ask them a few questions first."
Mr. Qiao raised his hand, "Dr. Jiang, please feel free to do as you please."
Jiang Ning looked up at the two men and asked, "Why are you following me? Who sent you? What is your purpose?"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's question, they snorted coldly and turned their heads away, looking as if they were ready to die, without uttering a word.
"You won't tell me?"
The other person still didn't look at her directly.
Jiang Ning got up and was about to walk over when Qiao's father stopped her and said, "Dr. Jiang, do you want to ask these questions?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
Mr. Qiao said, “Dr. Jiang, you don’t need to do it yourself. My people are the best at questioning. Let them handle it, or let my people take them to get some disciplined. If they’re willing to talk, then you can come and question them, Dr. Jiang.”
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded, and out of politeness, she thanked him, "Mr. Qiao, thank you."
It would take time for Qiao's father's men to deal with the person, so Jiang Ning went back upstairs. About two hours later, a servant from the Qiao family came to call her downstairs.
Jiang Ning arrived in the living room, where the two men who had been following her were already waiting.
This time, however, they didn't stand or kneel; instead, they lay on the ground like a dead dog that had fallen into the water.
Judging from his appearance, he still had a breath left.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, they struggled to get up, looking at her excitedly and saying, "I'll tell you everything, what do you want to know?"
"Who sent you to follow me?" Jiang Ning asked.
The man said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was President Mitsuda who ordered us to follow you."
Jiang Ning stared at them coldly, "Why are you following me? What is your purpose?"
The man quickly said, "President Mitsuda said that your medical skills are very impressive and he would like to invite you to visit our company. We have no ill intentions."
The two of them had just suffered greatly and dared not tell the truth. The president meant that he wanted to take Dr. Jiang back to China.
Mr. Qiao sneered, "Instead of coming to invite guests openly and honestly, you resort to such underhanded tactics. Is this your fine tradition?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Dr. Jiang, I don't think they're telling the truth. Should I have someone take them to get some repairs?"
Jiang Ning had already guessed Mitsuda Hisaki's purpose, and she wouldn't get anything out of him by asking any further questions.
She has achieved her goal in coming to Hong Kong. She was the one who would suffer if she went head-to-head with the people from Japan. Others will take care of these people.
“I’ve finished asking my questions, Mr. Qiao. Can you handle them?” Jiang Ning asked.
Mr. Qiao said with a smile, "It's just dealing with two people. The people behind them won't dare to do anything to me."
After thanking her, Jiang Ning went upstairs.
That night, Jiang Ning's room was pitch black. She was fast asleep when she inexplicably felt a shadowy figure moving beside her bed.
Sleeping outside of home isn't actually that good.
Something gently stroked her head, and Jiang Ning woke up with a start.
She instinctively tried to scream, but her mouth was covered. "Wife, it's me."
A man's voice came from behind her, and Jiang Ning raised her misty eyes to look over.
With a click, the bedside lamp turned on, and in the dim light, Jiang Ning could make out the outline of the man's face.
