Chapter 55 Cao Jinxian's Trail



At lunchtime, team leader Gu Xiangyang announced that Shen Mu Ning had earned sixteen work points that morning, which shocked all the male members of the team.

As for Cao Guofu and other young comrades who had previously wanted to compete with Shen Muling in strength, they looked relieved.

Fortunately, Chu Mingxu had poured cold water on their enthusiasm earlier, saying that Shen Mu Ning was a woman and couldn't compete with them in strength.

Otherwise, if they were to compete against Shen Mu Ning, they would be utterly crushed.

Although she lost the last competition, Shen Mu Ning probably didn't perform at her full potential then, and didn't surpass them by much.

But this time, Shen Mu Ning earned the same number of work points in one morning as the strongest laborer in the brigade.

If we start work this afternoon, won't we break their Johor Bahru team's record?

Shen Mu Ning was working with male colleagues this time, so she could go back with Chu Mingxu and Zhu Yang, who were in the same team.

On the way back to the educated youth settlement, Shen Mu Ning noticed that many people in a small group were bragging about themselves to others.

They lavished praise on themselves, recounting all of Shen Mu Ning's achievements that morning.

This drew gasps of amazement from the other teams. If they encountered Shen Mu Ning, they would observe her closely to see how she could be so capable.

Throughout the journey, Shen Mu Ning was constantly being pointed at and whispered about by the group, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to quicken his pace and urge Chu Mingxu and the other man to keep up.

"You two hurry up, or you'll miss dinner if you go back later."

Chu Mingxu and Zhu Yang both noticed Shen Mu Ning's awkwardness and exchanged a smile.

He didn't expose her, but simply followed Shen Mu Ning back quickly.

Finally, Shen Mu Ning and her group left the area where the large group of people lived, and were still some distance away from the educated youth settlement.

The original owner of the educated youth compound wanted a quieter environment, which is why the compound was built far away.

Later, the villagers no longer wanted to build houses, and instead started to spread outwards from their own homes to the surrounding areas of their settlement.

So over the years, as the brigade has developed, the closest houses to the educated youth settlements are now two or three hundred meters away.

This stretch of road was usually only used by educated youth, so Shen Mu Ning slowed down.

Just as we were about to return to the educated youth settlement, a person suddenly appeared from a side path.

Shen Mu Ning had already determined from five or six meters away that there was breathing behind the small bamboo grove.

She used her mental power to confirm that there was someone standing there, and Shen Mu Ning remained on guard.

Logically speaking, people from the brigade usually wouldn't come to their educated youth settlement, let alone someone they'd never seen before who was just standing there motionless.

Shen Mu Ning approached the bamboo grove without making a sound. Just as Shen Mu Ning was about to walk past, the person suddenly jumped out and tried to bump into Shen Mu Ning.

Shen Mu Ning had been watching him closely, so she wasn't about to wait for him to bump into her. She quickly took a step back.

At this moment, Chu Mingxu, who was walking behind Shen Muning, realized that something was wrong and, disregarding his own politeness, quickly grabbed Shen Muning's wrist.

In a split second, he switched places with Shen Mu Ning and kicked the man as he rushed out.

Shen Mu Ning stood behind Chu Ming Xu and pulled her wrist out of Chu Ming Xu's hand.

Fortunately, ever since I came into this world, I have been reminding myself that this is not the end of the world.

There aren't that many dangers here, and I might be the only one cultivating superpowers.

So for more than a month after she came into this world, she was training herself to control her stress response.

Otherwise, when Chu Mingxu grabbed him just now, his mental energy might have rushed straight into Chu Mingxu's brain.

However, Chu Mingxu's reaction speed is quite fast. No wonder he is described in the novel as someone who can make his family's rival families wary of him just by relying on his military achievements.

However, if we follow the ending of the novel, he ended up moving overseas, which is such a pity.

Chu Mingxu had nowhere to display his talents, and the country lost an excellent soldier.

"Ah." "Bang." One scream and the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground drew Shen Mu Ning's attention back.

Shen Mu Ning quickly followed Chu Ming Xu to the man and asked, "Who are you?"

Only after Chu Mingxu asked him a question did Zhu Yang come back to his senses from the sudden turn of events.

Zhu Yang walked closer and looked at him. He seemed to recognize the man. "This person looks like someone from the brigade, right?"

Shen Mu Ning looked puzzled. She had been in the Xinshan brigade for more than ten days and had never seen this person before.

Seeing that Chu Mingxu didn't seem to recognize the man either, Zhu Yang immediately introduced him to the two of them.

"This person is called Cao Jin." Zhu Yang wouldn't reveal to Cao Jin that everyone at the educated youth settlement was very familiar with him.

Shen Mu Ning immediately understood, "Cao Jin? Never heard of him. I've been here for so long and I've never seen his face before."

Before this, Shen Mu Ning realized that she had never seen this person before in Xinshan Brigade, so she roughly guessed his identity.

You should know that when Shen Mu Ning first arrived, she would use her mental power to scan the people working around her every time she started work.

Although her mental power couldn't cover everyone, she managed to cover a lot of people's faces by changing tasks over the past few days and memorizing them on her way home from work.

It can be said that Shen Mu Ning has memorized 80% to 90% of the people in the team.

Even though she didn't know his name, she knew he was from the brigade just by looking at his face.

Shen Mu Ning had never known what Cao Jin looked like, and he just happened to appear on this road, so Shen Mu Ning didn't think much of it.

When Cao Jin on the ground heard his name called, his wails finally subsided.

"I am Cao Jin. I was just passing by. Why did you start a fight?"

Cao Jin's target today was Shen Mu Ning. He had heard Wang Cheng say before that Shen Mu Ning usually left work alone.
