The slap stung Zhu Yichen's face, but he felt inexplicably excited.
His eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "That slap wasn't hard enough, let's do it again."
"..."
Song Ning was speechless. This Zhu Yichen seemed to have a bit of a masochistic streak. No, she'd better leave quickly.
Just then, the door opened. Zhu Meifen walked in and saw this scene as soon as she entered.
I saw that her son, Zhu Yichen, was sitting on Song Ning's lap with his arm around her. Zhu Yichen was sitting on the sofa.
"you……"
Zhu Meifen's mouth dropped open in surprise.
Zhu Yichen hadn't expected his mother to return so quickly. He quickly let go of Song Ning, who straightened up and walked to Song Meifen, somewhat embarrassed. "Godmother, it's not what you think."
"I hope it's not what I think. Song Ning, we're already married, we can't be two-timing each other."
Zhu Meifen looked at her with a hint of disbelief. She knew her son might like Song Ning, but if there really was something between them, she definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.
"Godmother is joking. How could I possibly be two-timing? My brother was just joking with me."
Zhu Yichen quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mom. My sister almost fell just now, and I helped her up, that's all."
Zhu Meifen then decided not to pursue the matter further. "Alright. Goddaughter, what brings you here?"
Song Ning quickly spoke up, "Godmother, I want you to help me find someone. It's very important to me."
“Sure, just ask Zhu Yichen. He’s in charge of all the client relationships and connections overseas. No, I’m too tired, I’m going to take a nap.” With that, Zhu Meifen yawned and headed towards the bedroom.
"Godmother..."
Song Ning tried to catch up, but Zhu Meifen had already closed the door and gone into the bedroom.
She turned to look at Zhu Yichen, only to see him shrug smugly.
Song Ning knew then that she couldn't get past this hurdle. If she wanted to find someone, she had to ask Zhu Yichen for help.
She had no choice but to turn around and step forward, preparing to beg Zhu Yichen once again.
"Brother, please help your sister this once, okay? I'm begging you."
Looking at her meek and submissive appearance, Zhu Yichen suddenly felt a pang of pity.
"Fine, I agree."
"Really?" Song Ning looked up at him in disbelief.
"Is this even real?"
"Then... how does brother want me to repay you? I won't agree to sell myself."
"I was just joking with you, did you really believe me?"
Zhu Yichen narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, looking at her with a playful expression.
It has to be said that teasing Song Ning is as cute as teasing a kitten.
Although he did like her, he didn't want to kick her when she was down.
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not his style.
"Huh? You're joking? That joke just now was way too much." Song Ning frowned.
I had a feeling that what happened just now wasn't a joke.
"You might not know me very well. I'm a bit of a quirky person."
Zhu Yichen sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and stared at her arrogantly before picking up a cigarette from the coffee table.
"Good sister, light a fire for me. I'll help you."
Song Ning had no choice but to step forward, pick up a lighter, and light his cigarette.
Zhu Yichen picked up a cigarette, took a deep drag, exhaled a ring of smoke, and his eyes were somewhat glazed.
"Tell me, the person you're looking for: name and photo."
Song Ning immediately took out a photo from her bag and handed it to him, "This is the person, Jin Keli."
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll get the person to you within a week."
After leaving the Zhu family, Song Ning looked up at the sun in the sky. The sky was clear, with fluffy white clouds drifting by.
It now seems that the dark clouds will eventually dissipate and the light will return.
After Song Ning left.
Zhu Yichen held the photo in his hand and played with it repeatedly.
After a long time, he finally picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Help me find someone."
After hanging up the phone, he picked up the half-smoked cigarette, put it to his lips, and took a deep drag...
One week later.
Song Ning received a call from Zhu Yichen.
"I've found the person you're looking for. Come to **."
Song Ning was very happy, so she took Huo Beian to the agreed location, an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
Upon entering, they found a person tied to a pillar with a rag stuffed in their mouth.
Because it's an abandoned factory, it's basically a perfect location for kidnapping people. The location is also desolate; you'd never expect it to happen here.
"My god-sister, god-brother-in-law, you've arrived."
Zhu Yichen stepped forward and said.
"Brother, thank you for helping us find this person. With this witness, we can convict Lian Sino."
"You're too kind. Please take a look."
Zhu Yichen pointed to the person tied to the pillar.
Huo Beian compared the photos and found that it was indeed the same person.
He removed the gag from his mouth. "Tell me who's in charge behind this."
Then I took out my phone and took a picture.
"yes……"
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out in the distance.
Everyone present was startled.
Huo Beian quickly pulled Song Ning into his arms.
Zhu Yichen immediately ordered his men, "Go and see who's causing trouble!"
Huo Beian quickly pulled Song Ning behind a pillar. Only after it was safe and there were no more gunshots did he release her.
Turning back, they found that the person tied to the pillar had already had his head blown off by a gunshot.
“This…” Huo Beian frowned.
That shot just now must have been fired by Lian Sino's men.
The purpose is to destroy evidence of crime.
Upon seeing the bloody scene before her, Song Ning felt a wave of nausea and immediately vomited.
"Honey, are you alright? There's danger, let's go quickly."
He quickly grabbed Song Ning's hand and left.
Zhu Yichen watched their departing figures, his eyes darkening.
...
Huo Beian drove Song Ning home.
Throughout the journey, Song Ning felt nauseous and vomited.
"Honey, are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"I'm fine, I just feel nauseous and have no appetite. I feel weak all over."
Huo Beian was a little anxious, after all, his wife had witnessed such a bloody thing.
As a result, after undergoing various tests at the hospital, Song Ning discovered that she wasn't sick at all, but rather pregnant.
"What? I'm pregnant?" Song Ning was stunned.
Huo Beian immediately beamed with joy. He grasped Song Ning's hand and said excitedly, "Wife, we're going to have a baby."
Song Ning also burst into tears of joy; a child… she was pregnant again…
In her previous life, she suffered a miscarriage and had twins in the book. Unexpectedly, in this life, the two not only got married, but also, by a twist of fate, she became pregnant again.
Hopefully, this pregnancy and childbirth will go smoothly... so she can spend more time with her child...
"That's wonderful!"
Song Ning was overjoyed.
