Chapter 393 Deep Virtual Reality 221
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Xie Ning had just reminded Zhan Lin about the Alibo family when she saw Henry, the second son of the Alibo family, at the door of Zong Ren's ward diagonally across the street.
"Ms. Xie, what a coincidence."
Xie Ning extended her hand to shake hands before the other party prepared to kiss her hand.
"Mr. Henry, what are you doing here?" The question that had been on Henry's mind was asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Henry smiled and shook hands with Shening, then shrugged and said, "I've come to visit a friend."
Actually, that's not the case. Zong Ren isn't qualified to be his friend yet. It's just that he happens to be nearby, and the matter of the Black Blood Leech Mother has caused quite a stir.
So his father specifically asked him to come and see the security captain who had participated in the battle, since he was one of their men.
Unfortunately, not only did Captain Zong fail to obtain anything of value, he also lost a leg, diminishing his own worth. It was a complete loss.
"So Mr. Henry and Captain Zong are friends," Xie Ning said with a smile.
"How is Captain Zong now? Is he feeling alright?"
"Not bad. Tomorrow we'll assemble the new prosthesis, which is Huarui's latest product."
Although it's not very useful now, it was at least used to carry out their orders. Getting a prosthetic limb is all that's needed, it won't cost much.
"I haven't asked Ms. Xie yet. Are you here to visit a friend as well?" Henry asked tentatively, looking at Xie Ning with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Yes, after all, I'm nearby too, aren't I?"
Xie Ning also attended the Shen family's dinner party. Henry nodded upon hearing this, "That's true. I wonder which of Ms. Xie's friends is it? Introduce her to me sometime. Having more friends means having more options."
Xie Ning smiled faintly and remained silent. Then Henry rolled his eyes and began to probe again, "Since Ms. Xie is in this area, and you're so capable, didn't you go to the beach?"
That's a new type of matrix, with extremely high research value. Henry said the last sentence in a low voice.
"Mr. Henry overestimates me. That Matrix is about to use the Constant Bullet. How could I possibly defeat it? Several of the Awakened Ones we sent have already died. If I go up there, wouldn't that be suicide?"
Shening didn't say whether she went or not, but slowly changed the subject. As a result, they talked for so long that by the time they were about to part ways, Henry hadn't managed to get a single useful piece of information out of them.
"A cunning woman." Henry only realized what was happening after Xie Ning had gotten into the car, and he gave a cold snort.
The driver sat silently in the driver's seat, and after a while asked, "Second Young Master, are we still going to the Emperor's Club?"
"I'm not going. I don't have the time or inclination. I'll go directly to Puyang District. I've heard they have a lot of affordable and good medicine there. I'd like to check it out. If it's really both cheap and good..."
Of course, he would eat it. He never expected that someone would dare to do something like this, disrupting the market, even in the city controlled by the Alibo family. They must have a death wish.
After thinking for a moment, Henry said to his assistant, "Contact Deputy Director Joe and arrange a restaurant...no alcohol." He didn't like drinking, nor did he like to compromise himself for others.
Xie Ning was unaware that the Alibo family was about to come knocking on her door; at that moment, she was on her way to the hotel booked by the Langley family.
Two sets of materials were prepared: one was given to Professor Yun Jing in exchange for profit, and the other was kept for Ruila to study.
She was actually more looking forward to Professor Yun Jing's research results, since they had specialized in studying alien creatures and were more experienced.
The rain gradually subsided, and a ray of sunlight fell.
People went on with another busy day, unaware that beneath their feet lay a monstrous creature capable of dragging them to hell.
No one knew that a wisp of human consciousness had stopped the black tentacles from reaching the ground.
Xie Ning returned to Xutai Street. Compared to the evening, there were fewer people on Xutai Street in the morning. The only people there were busy office workers who bought breakfast from a breakfast stall and ran to the waiting hall.
At home, Grandma Tian and Tian Xixi stayed up all night packing luggage, ready to send it out.
Xie Ning said the sooner they moved out, the better, so Grandma Tian and Tian Xixi didn't dare to delay and packed up overnight. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xie Ning come back.
Although Xie Ning had reported that she was safe, the presence of the alien creature nearby filled them with fear and worry for Xie Ning, who was away.
Actually, Grandma Tian wanted to persuade Xie Ning to stay at home, since it was too dangerous outside and it would be better to leave it to the security bureau.
But Xie Ning is an Awakened One, and his superpowers seem quite powerful. Moreover, the two have only just recognized each other. No matter how worried Grandma Tian is, she doesn't want Xie Ning to feel like she's being controlled.
The children are grown up and have their own ideas. She's just an old woman and can't think about all that.
Tian Xixi didn't think too much about it. Although she was worried, in her eyes, this older sister was an incredibly awesome person, and all she needed to do was cheer her on from behind.
