Chapter 271 273 Drawing a Clear Line
"Mr. Nine, don't scare me. My eldest brother is very smart. They will be fine. Besides, I didn't do anything. Protecting Sister Rong and the others is the mission I received. I am loyal to my duties, follow my heart, and have a clear conscience." Wang Lin said stubbornly.
"You, don't play dumb with me. Qian Rufeng's people have looked for you so many times. Do you think you can pretend you know nothing by avoiding them? Can they do nothing to you? To be honest, the clan doesn't care at all whether you help Qian Rufeng and the others complete the task or not. They mainly care about your eldest brother's position. If you stubbornly stay with Rong Xianxian and the others, it will inevitably affect the clan's view of your eldest brother. Brother Rui has some power now, but it is far from being able to compete with the power of the aristocratic families. Sooner or later you will drag down your eldest brother if you go on like this." Ning Qingtian said to Wang Lin seriously. Mainly because he was also afraid. Wang Rui was a brother-con. If Wang Lin really refused to reform and went all the way to the end, it would be so dangerous around Rong Xianxian. If Wang Lin was killed by someone then, Wang Rui would probably go crazy.
"Xiao Linzi, do you still remember the incident where Dr. Rong was framed for murder?" Ning Qingtian asked, changing the subject.
"Of course I remember. What's wrong? Have you found out the real murderer?" Wang Lin asked with some confusion.
"The crime scene is gone, where can we investigate? Who has the patience to investigate? The relatives of the deceased made trouble several times later. However, judging from the evidence at the time, Ji Cunxi, who had a grudge against Dr. Rong before, was a suspect. He wanted to frame Dr. Rong, but he handled the case too crudely and the forged evidence was too far-fetched, so Dr. Rong saw through it. Of course, the most important thing was that he didn't expect that the military doctor and, cough, me, would stand on Dr. Rong's side, which made his plan fail." Even if Ning Qingtian remained neutral between the family and Ning Qingyun, she certainly didn't want outsiders to bully them and their son!
“Hehe, I knew that Young Master Ninth, you couldn’t ignore Sister Rong and the others.” Wang Lin said with a silly smile.
"Look, if you leave her and join my team, you can still protect her in secret, right?" Ning Qingtian said seductively.
“No, Master Jiu, you are treating me like a three-year-old kid. There are many rules in the army, and I won’t suffer them!” Wang Lin refused. It’s not like he hasn’t been in the army before. He had to report to his superiors if he took one more step, and he also had to guard in secret. What was he thinking?
Ning Qingtian was so angry when she saw Wang Lin. The brat was so stubborn. Forget it. Anyway, Rong Xianxian and the others were planning to follow their troops back to Beijing. There shouldn't be any danger for a while. Just let him go! At worst, I can knock him out and take him away when we are almost in Beijing. Ning Qingtian made up her mind and calmed down again.
"Then remember to remind Doctor Rong to be careful. Ji Cunxi is a capable man. The unit he joins belongs to the military, and I have no control over it. Although his backer Yang Chao is only a company commander at the moment, he will definitely be promoted after this mission. Moreover, he has some background in the military and is highly valued by the higher-ups." Ning Qingtian explained to Wang Lin.
"He's just a company commander. Don't you have a good relationship with their chief of staff? Can't you think of a way to assign Ji Cunxi a more difficult task?" Wang Lin complained.
"It's easy for you to say that. I'm not on Ning Qingyun's side. It's good enough that I can tell you to remind her. Why should I help her? In fact, no matter how fast Ji Cunxi gets promoted, she is just a small role. The real danger is still to come. I say you should quickly draw a line between you and her." Ning Qingtian came to persuade Wang Lin and Rong Xianxian to draw a line between them, not to protect Rong Xianxian.
"Mr. Nine, you're here again. Okay, okay, I know what you told me. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." When Wang Lin heard Ning Qingtian bring the topic back, he stood up and interrupted him impatiently.
"Stop, take this and take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, you never know what your brother will do." Ning Qingtian threw over something similar to a bulletproof vest. It was a small ball, cold and smooth, and no one knew what it was made of.
"What is this thing?" Wang Lin grabbed it and asked Ning Qingtian in confusion.
"Hurry up and put on the protective clothing developed by the research institute using new materials." Ning Qingtian urged.
"I don't need it. I have protective clothing. You can keep it for yourself." I'm safe. I also have the Vajra Talisman, but I can't tell you.
"Just change it when I told you to. Why are you talking nonsense?" Ning Qingtian glared at him.
"Mr. Nine, this thing of yours doesn't have any positioning or tracking functions, does it?" Wang Lin said with a frown in embarrassment.
"You're asking for a lesson, aren't you? I won't give it to you if it can locate you. This thing provides better protection than a bulletproof vest. I only got two in total. If you break it, I'll go back to Beijing and ask your brother to compensate me with a new one. Put it on quickly." Ning Qingtian urged again.
Wang Lin knew that Ning Qingtian meant well and it was difficult for him to refuse. He took off his coat and put on a vest, then put on his coat again. It turned out that this vest felt cool to the touch and was very comfortable in this hot summer.
After Wang Lin opened the door and left, another person appeared in the room. "Mingyin, since you are so worried, just go find Rong Xianxian and join them. I'm not stopping you." Ning Qingtian said coldly.
"..." Mingyin lowered her head in silence, neither refuting nor making excuses.
Ning Qingtian was furious when she saw how submissive he was, but she didn't say anything in the end.
"Yuege, look at these clothes. They are so beautiful. This brand of clothes suits me best. Let's buy a few more. The prices are almost free." Shang Yuege went to the official exchange to exchange gasoline. When he came out and passed by the private exchange, Zhang Xiaoxiao pulled Shang Yuege hard and stood in front of a clothing stall and refused to move.
Shang Yuege took a look at the fancy thin clothes on the stalls, lace, chiffon, organza, and even silk pajamas. This was really Zhang Xiaoxiao's style of dressing.
"It's up to you. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Shang Yuege urged coldly.
Zhang Xiaoxiao seemed to be used to it and didn't care. She quickly negotiated the price with the boss. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rong Xianxian and a man walking past on the street next door.
Shang Yuege had already taken a step forward. Zhang Xiaoxiao picked up the clothes in her hands, took two quick steps, and caught up with him.
Early in the morning of the seventh day when the mercenary convoy entered the city, a team of city defense troops cleared the way and the city gates were opened wide. The mercenary convoy, which had been resting here for a week, set off again.
