Chapter 13 The Mastermind



The three of them arrived at the Zijin Club, where Han Zhengyu and Lu Zifan were already waiting in the box.

Jiang Luoning saw the two people on the sofa staring at each other for a moment, then remembered their identities and called out, "Brother Zhengyu, Brother Zifan, long time no see."

"Ningning, you can still recognize us brothers after not seeing us for a few years. Come and sit down. I've prepared your favorite snacks and peach juice for you." Han Zhengyu made room in the middle of the sofa and pushed all the food on the table in front of Jiang Luoning. Jiang Luoning smiled slightly and prepared to sit down without any other greetings.

Thinking of what Fu Linxiao had just said, he looked at Fu Linxiao and his elder brother and asked, "What were you talking about with the brakes?"

Fu Linxiao did not hide it from the little girl and said, "The brakes of your brother and I have been tampered with, and trackers have been installed under the car." As he said that, he threw the two damaged trackers on the table.

The four of them all looked cold, and Han Zhengyu said slowly: "It seems that they can't hold it back anymore and are ready to attack together?" Jiang Luoning didn't understand who she was referring to, so he looked at his eldest brother in confusion and asked.

Jiang Linghao understood what Jiang Luoning was asking him. After a moment's thought, he finally spoke out, "Ningning, now that things have come to this, there are some things I should tell you. You were kidnapped at the age of 12. We've been investigating this matter and have discovered that a reclusive family, the Helian family, is behind it. This family left the imperial capital long ago when my grandfather was still the head of the family. I don't know why they suddenly attacked you. It's been so long since then, and it's difficult to investigate. All information about this family has disappeared without a trace. Now that they've reappeared, the imperial capital won't be peaceful in the coming years."

The Helian family? I'd never heard of this family in my previous life. The current trajectory of events was completely different from my previous life. Perhaps my rebirth had affected their previous life's plans. Now it was clear that the Dong family was merely a pawn. Could it be that the Helian family was the one truly seeking to control the imperial capital's aristocratic families? But after all these years of retreat, why would they suddenly reappear?

"So what did you find out?" Jiang Luoning couldn't understand.

All four of them had sad expressions on their faces and shook their heads.

Jiang Luoning looked at the four people with low spirits and said frankly: "Brother, maybe you can start with the Dong family."

Aside from Fu Linxiao, the other three all frowned and looked at Jiang Luoning, puzzled. Fu Linxiao, however, agreed, "Ning'er and I agree. Kidnapping, drowning, Dong family secret guards, bracelet monitoring—there's no such coincidence."

Han Zhengyu was about to say something when the door was pushed open and Lin Ming rushed into the room in a hurry. "Master, Yingyi has lost his memory!"

Fu Linxiao was already looking displeased, about to reprimand him, when he heard Lin Ming's words, his deep eyes suddenly filled with coldness. He stood up and nodded to the others, signaling that he was leaving first. Jiang Luoning felt his blood freeze when he heard about the amnesia. Suddenly, the Dong siblings appeared before him. He rushed out of the private room, chasing Fu Linxiao and wanting to go together, ignoring Jiang Linghao's cries behind him.

Jiang Luoning, who was resting with his eyes closed and reviewing everything in the car, suddenly sat up straight and asked Lin Ming who was driving: "Was that bracelet checked by Yingyi?" Lin Ming was confused by the sudden question and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Luoning's eyes turned red with murderous intent after hearing the answer. Fu Linxiao, after listening to their conversation, felt the murderous aura emanating from Jiang Luoning. He pulled up her clenched fists and gently massaged the backs of her hands, signaling her not to hurt herself. He didn't say anything, waiting for Jiang Luoning to calm down.

Jiang Luoning picked up her phone and dialed Ah Xing's number. Her voice trembled, "Take your things and go to the address I sent you, now." She hung up without saying anything more. She was now trying her best to be patient and control her emotions. It turned out that the amnesia in her previous life was not accidental, but intentional. Could she be forgiven then? As she thought about it, Jiang Luoning's eyes reddened slightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Lin Ming raised the baffle, fearing that he would accidentally see something he shouldn't see and his master would make him waste his eyesight again.

Fu Linxiao looked at the little girl beside him, shaking with tears, his eyes filled with heartache. He didn't know what she had been through to become like this, worried about gains and losses, full of resentment. He hugged Jiang Luoning tightly to comfort her, to let her know that he was always there.

"Brother Lin Xiao,...can...I...be...forgiven? If...I did something wrong, will...you...hate me...leave...me, or even...don't want me?" Jiang Luoning spoke slowly in a trembling voice, full of anxiety and fear.

Upon hearing this, Fu Linxiao held her hand tighter and coaxed her warmly, "No, nothing like that will happen. Ning'er can't be wrong. Even if she is wrong, it's Brother Linxiao's fault."

"No, Brother Linxiao. It's Ning'er's fault. It's Ning'er's fault! Everything is Ning'er's fault. Ning'er deserves to die..." Before Jiang Luoning could finish her words, Fu Linxiao's angry voice rang out: "Jiang Luoning, listen to me! No matter what happens, you will always have me, your big brother, and your family who love and care about you by your side! If you let me hear the word... the word... death... from you again, you will see how I punish you."

Fu Linxiao's words brought the sobbing Jiang Luoning back to reality. Yes, she was reborn. In her previous life, she died in Fu Linxiao's arms. This could never happen again in this life. She would catch the mastermind hiding in the shadows and avenge herself and her brothers. She slowly calmed down, and when the car stopped, she looked normal except for the slightly red eyes.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Ah Xing squatting at the door with a big schoolbag on his back. Two people from Wuyingtang were standing next to him, staring at him. Seeing the person coming, Ah Xing stood up and rushed to Jiang Luoning, grabbed Jiang Luoning's hand, shook it coquettishly and complained with a wronged look: "Sister Ning, they bullied me!..." He wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt the hairs on his body stand up, as if they were silently shouting at him to shut up and save his life. Ah Xing then saw the evil spirit Fu Linxiao hiding in the darkness behind Jiang Luoning. Having been with Jiang Luoning for so many years, he naturally knew about the relationship between Fu Linxiao and his sister Ning's childhood sweetheart. So he said to save his life: "Brother-in-law! Your men bullied me! And they wanted to throw me out!"

Fu Linxiao, who was originally furious and wanted to tear the boy into pieces, suddenly felt refreshed when he heard the word "brother-in-law" and looked at Jiang Luoning to ask. Jiang Luoning didn't care what Ah Xing called Fu Linxiao. After all, Fu Linxiao could only be hers in this life, so there was nothing wrong with calling him brother-in-law. Facing Fu Linxiao's question, Jiang Luoning thought for a moment and finally told the truth: "An Ye, Nan Xing..."

Hearing the name of the person, Lin Ming, who had just parked his car, was shocked again. Nan Xing! Nan Xing, the medical prodigy who could snatch people from the clutches of the dead!

Fu Linxiao nodded and smiled, introducing himself simply and clearly as "Fu Linxiao." He then looked at the stunned bodyguards standing at the door and said in a deep voice, "Take your punishment, 10 lashes each." Ah Xing heard this and stopped him, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I was just kidding. It's not that serious. Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, isn't this their job?"

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Jiang Luoning was afraid that if Ah Xing continued to talk too much, he would end up staging a big drama of the year, so he immediately stopped her.
