Chapter 8 Happiness Came Too Suddenly
A younger expert said helplessly:
"Miss Ning, if you really don't want to tell us, we won't force you."
"We are already extremely grateful that you handed over the Azure Jade."
"But... don't tease us like that..."
The older expert looked disappointed, but still maintained a gentle smile.
"Ms. Ning, we won't bother you any longer. On behalf of all our colleagues, we thank you again. Thank you."
The experts all bowed to her.
Ning Jinli was on the verge of tears, not knowing what else to say, so she could only return the bow.
The experts and a dozen or so escorts temporarily went outside the warehouse.
The middle-aged man leading the group took out his phone and glanced at it.
"Ms. Ning, the police have arrested your uncle, Ning Hai."
Ning Jinli's eyes lit up.
"Great! But, has He Kai, who directly stole the Azure Jade, been caught?"
The middle-aged man shook his head. "Not yet, but it should be soon. He can't escape."
Ning Jinli clenched her fists in righteous indignation, "He even robbed a national treasure, he should rot in jail!"
"Hahaha!" the middle-aged man laughed out loud. "Don't worry, don't worry, it's a must!"
He thought for a moment and prepared to tell Ning Jinli about the government's plan to reward her.
Da da da—
The sound of high heels rang out.
Suddenly a middle-aged woman walked in.
She was dressed in simple casual clothes, with a straight posture and a confident stride.
He had short, neat hair and wore large sunglasses on his thin face.
Ning Jinli couldn't help but look at it curiously.
What a beautiful and cool woman!
The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Weren't you in the Northwest region? How did you get here all of a sudden?"
The woman in sunglasses said, "I borrowed a fighter jet."
The middle-aged man showed no surprise; instead, he smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry, or do you want to test the fighter jet?"
"I think so," the woman in sunglasses said with a slight smile. "The latest models are really fast to drive."
The middle-aged man nodded. "Since you're here, I'll take my men and leave."
The woman in sunglasses faced Ning Jinli and extended her hand. "Hello, my surname is Shangguan, and my given name is Ying."
Ning Jinli politely shook hands with both of them, "Hello, Aunt Shangguan."
Shangguan Ying raised an eyebrow. "Am I old?"
Ning Jinli blushed deeply.
He had thought that even the middle-aged man in his fifties addressed her as "you," and since she looked to be no more than forty, he couldn't be rude.
That's why I called her Aunt Shangguan.
"Call me Sister Ying." Shangguan Ying squeezed Ning Jinli's hand.
Ning Jinli nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, Sister Ying."
Just then, Ning Jinli suddenly noticed that the vortex passage at the back door had reappeared.
Shangguan Ying was facing away from the back door.
Ning Jinli's heart jumped into her throat.
Although no one else could see the vortex except for her and Xiao Qidi, they could not pass through it.
But she didn't know who this Sister Ying was. She just let people see Xiao Qidi appear out of nowhere. Who knows what will happen?
The next second, Xiao Qidi staggered out.
Shangguan Ying heard a noise behind her and was about to turn around.
"Sister Ying!"
In a moment of panic, Ning Jinli grabbed her shoulders with both hands, "I... this warehouse is too messy, let me take you somewhere else."
Even through her sunglasses, Shangguan Ying could see that Ning Jinli's expression was off and that she was giving Ning Jinli meaningful glances behind her.
"This place is quite nice."
Shangguan Ying calmly brushed Ning Jinli's hand away.
He turned around and met Xiao Qidi's gaze.
"Wow, you're so tall..." Shangguan Ying said, looking up.
Xiao Qidi frowned slightly. "Who are you?"
Ning Jinli quickly pulled Xiao Qidi aside and whispered, "Don't talk, don't move, stand here."
Then, she walked up to Shangguan Ying and said, "Sister Ying, this is my friend. He likes to cosplay. Did he scare you? Hehe."
Shangguan Ying wore a meaningful, faint smile.
"Cosplay? You're actually pretty convincing. You guys have fun. I'm off."
She casually pulled out a business card and handed it to Ning Jinli, saying, "If you have any questions or need any help, call this number."
Ning Jinli took the business card and muttered, "I already have debt problems."
As Shangguan Ying sized up Xiao Qidi, she asked, "What debt?"
"Sigh, over 70 million in bank loans," Ning Jinli said dejectedly.
Shangguan Ying smiled slightly. "Really? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true, I'll show you if you don't believe me."
Ning Jinli took out her phone, opened the bank app, and logged into the factory's financial account.
He flipped through the pages a couple of times, then froze. "Huh? Where's the loan? It's gone!"
Shangguan Ying casually said, "Why don't you take another look at your own account balance?"
Ning Jinli was completely confused and quickly logged into her bank account.
She was stunned when she saw that her balance had reached five million.
The factory's loan debt of over 70 million yuan—gone!
Personal bank card – five million in savings!
“This is all a reward for you,” Shangguan Ying said calmly. “You received a five million bonus from above, and I also helped you waive the factory’s debt.”
“Hiss…” Ning Jinli was stunned.
"I'm leaving, goodbye." Shangguan Ying turned and left.
Happiness came too suddenly, and Ning Jinli stood there stunned with a blank mind, forgetting to even ask Shangguan Ying what her identity was.
Thud—
Xiao Qidi, who was standing against the wall, suddenly collapsed heavily to the ground.
Ning Jinli came to her senses upon hearing the noise.
Oh my god, I almost forgot about him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Ning Jinli ran to Xiao Qidi's side.
Xiao Qidi could no longer hold on and fainted, his body emitting a bloody smell.
Ning Jinli immediately called an ambulance.
Before the ambulance arrived, they stripped off his tattered armor.
Fortunately, there was an emergency hospital near the factory.
When Xiao Qidi was brought to the hospital, the doctors were stunned and asked how he was injured like this.
Not only were there several knife wounds on his back, but there were even two arrowheads broken off inside his shoulder.
"He...he's a stuntman!"
Ning Jinli wiped away her cold sweat and made up an excuse, saying, "There was a little accident while filming an outdoor scene..."
"You call this just a minor accident?" the doctor sighed. "Sigh! This profession is really tough!"
Soon, Xiao Qidi was taken to the operating room.
During the process, a doctor informed Ning Jinli that he had lost too much blood and needed a blood transfusion.
The blood reserves here are insufficient, and more cannot be replenished in the short term.
I'd like to ask if there are any people with the right blood type in the film crew who can donate blood.
Ning Jinli asked, "What's his blood type?"
The doctor said it was blood type A.
Ning Jinli rolled up her sleeves. "I'm blood type A, so take mine!"
It was past 10 p.m.
Xiao Qidi was finally out of danger and lay in a deep sleep on his hospital bed.
Ning Jinli sat on the chair next to her, yawning incessantly.
She gave him a lot of blood, and her face turned pale.
"Hehe, who would have thought... that Emperor Xuanzu from more than two thousand years ago would have my blood flowing through his veins? I'm really awesome."
Ning Jinli fought off her sleepiness and lay by the hospital bed, grinning foolishly.
"Run...run...don't worry about me..." Xiao Qidi mumbled in his sleep.
Ning Jinli stared at his face, muttering to herself.
How did he suddenly turn out like this... Didn't he say that he had already killed all the bandits?
What exactly happened?
Oh, right!
Check historical data!
Ning Jinli roused herself, took out her phone, and started searching online...
But we couldn't find anything.
Due to the passage of time, historical records do not document what happened to Xiao Qidi around the age of eighteen.
Ning Jinli slapped her forehead.
"By the way, this hospital is less than a kilometer from my factory. I can just ask the people in Linxian Village, right?"
Anticipating that Xiao Qidi wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she immediately returned to the factory.
A luxury car was parked outside the factory gate.
As soon as Ning Jinli arrived, Wu Sanye, the owner of the antique shop, got out of his luxury car with a big smile on his face, "Miss Ning! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Hello, Third Master, what can I do for you?" she asked politely.
Master Wu lowered his head solemnly, "From now on, just call me Wu Laosan."
Ning Jinli looked surprised. "This won't do! You paid extra for my jade pendant, and I'm very grateful to you. How could I be so disrespectful?"
Mr. Wu's expression was complicated. He took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Miss Ning, I've come specifically to apologize to you and give you the money. I'm truly sorry; I shouldn't have cheated you!"
"Huh?" Ning Jinli was utterly astonished. "What do you mean?"
