Chapter 176 - His Story
Just as Ning Fei expected, Cheng's mother agreed and was even willing to go to her son, but Cheng Mengxiao still made excuses.
Ning Fei was too lazy to force it, so he packed up Cheng's mother and took her away. Before leaving, Cheng's mother wanted to go to a familiar tailor shop to order two new sets of winter clothes for Cheng Lingqi, but Cheng Mengxiao, who was in charge of the accounts, couldn't raise enough money at the moment. When he was in trouble, it was Ning Fei who paid the money.
Ning Fei paid Cheng's mother, and Duan Yunhong paid Ning Fei, and he also ordered two dresses for Ning Fei. Ning Fei was speechless and complained that he had "a lot of money but nowhere to spend it", Duan Yunhong replied calmly: "Yes."
Ning Fei: “…”
Duan Yunhong added: "Don't you dislike being too cold? I am doing my duty to keep you warm."
Ning Fei didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. He just thought that this man had energy but nowhere to use it, so he just let him be.
As for Cheng's mother, she was naturally very grateful to Ning Fei for acting as her "cash machine", so she selectively "forgot" to ask her daughter where the money went. In front of Ning Fei, she also reminded Cheng Mengxiao to remember to buy more winter clothes. Ning Feichun pretended not to hear. Did he want him to automatically remember that Cheng Mengxiao also had no money and automatically offer to pay for Cheng Mengxiao to buy clothes? Don't be too humorous.
Cheng Mengxiao probably felt embarrassed and quickly asked her mother to stop talking.
In short, when Cheng's mother got on the car and set off, she only had ten dollars on her, except for her luggage and the "gift" she brought for Cheng Lingqi. It seems that it is tacitly agreed that Ning Fei will pay for the whole journey, and he does not have to spend any coins.
"She doesn't spend, Cheng Lingqi doesn't spend, and Cheng Mengxiao doesn't spend either. These three want me to contribute manpower, money, and the car... They really have a good plan." Ning Fei sat in the back seat of the car, feeling the shaky road conditions, and sneered with his arms folded, "If I didn't have to take her there, only a fool would do such a loss-making business."
At this moment, he was sitting in Duan Yunhong's car, while Cheng's mother and his assistant were in his car in front, so he spoke without restraint.
"Some money has to be paid." Duan Yunhong on Ning Fei's left also smiled, "Some is out of obligation, some is out of affection."
"Why, you want to say that you 'forced' me to buy clothes?" Ning Fei glanced at him, "Are you doing it out of obligation or out of affection?"
"You know exactly why I did this." Duan Yunhong said, moving closer. Ning Fei thought he was going to say something naughty again by avoiding the driver and assistant in the front seat, but Duan Yunhong lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "With your status, you should have some assets. If you really need money, I have some. I won't let you live a hard life here."
"Pretending to be rich in front of me?" Ning Fei moved aside a little and turned to look at him. "But if you can trade cars these days, you must have a lot of money. I just don't know if you, the owner of a car dealership, will still be useful when you go out of town?"
Duan Yunhong asked, "Do you think that in order to get these foreign cars, it is enough to just have influence in Shashi?"
"That's right. I knew you would never give up your comfortable life no matter where you are." Ning Fei paused and lowered his voice, "So you are helping Shen Zejun and the others now, which means you are in the same camp as before?"
Duan Yunhong didn't expect him to ask this suddenly. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "...I don't distinguish between camps now. I help Shen Zejun only to protect Cheng Mengxiao."
"It's okay if you want to help. I won't say anything." Ning Fei shrugged. "Although I want to protect Cheng Lingqi's family, I don't regard the other side as an enemy. I'm not that naive."
Duan Yunhong suddenly smiled when he heard this.
Ning Fei raised an eyebrow: "What are you laughing at?"
"You still don't admit that you have carefully read my resume?" Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes and laughed softly, "You know what I fought for before, and now you support me to continue standing there, even if it goes against the direction of your mission, right?"
At the end of his words, he raised his head again and stared at Ning Fei, as if he was tightly entangled with her with his gaze. Ning Fei seemed to be burned by the heat in his eyes, and actually avoided his gaze for a rare moment.
But Ning Fei turned back quickly, staring at him without losing his temper: "Are you crazy again? I told you I don't care about the camp! And judging from the fact that Cheng Lingqi was suspected and abandoned, he may not stand firmly in the current camp. Joining the other side may be a life-saving option in the future. How come it sounds like supporting you when you hear it?"
"Because you couldn't have asked before."
“…”
"If you really don't care, you won't even confirm which side I want to stand on now, and you won't emphasize that you don't care that I might go to the other side. You will only warn me not to go against you, or when you find out that I am standing on the opposite side of you, you will directly get angry and retaliate against me." Duan Yunhong stared at the person with burning eyes, and became more and more confident as he spoke. If the two of them were not still in the car, Duan Yunhong would even want to do something to express his inner excitement more fully: "You don't want me to force myself for you and go against my will. Don't be stubborn, you just care about me."
"Fuck you!" Ning Fei finally couldn't help cursing and pushed his face away. "Do whatever you want, who the hell cares about you!"
Duan Yunhong was slapped in the face by him, but he was not angry at all. He could tell that Ning Fei was really a little angry and embarrassed, which indirectly proved that Duan Yunhong was basically right, but Ning Fei just didn't want to admit it.
The movement in the back seat caused the driver and assistant in the front seat to sneak a glance in the rearview mirror and then turn around to take a few quick glances. They saw Duan Yunhong in such a slightly embarrassed state, but he did not glare at his two subordinates to warn them, but was very calm instead.
He stood up naturally, turned around, picked up the blanket beside him, and threw it in Ning Fei's direction, causing Ning Fei to stare at him immediately: "What are you doing again?!"
"You almost fell asleep just now, so go to sleep." Duan Yunhong covered him with a blanket, leaned close to him and whispered, "There are still many details missing on the resume. I'll tell you in detail tonight."
Ning Fei glared at him, wrapped herself in a blanket, leaned against the car window and really closed her eyes, looking like she was too lazy to communicate with the man anymore. Duan Yunhong looked at his awkward posture and said jokingly, "You don't mind the discomfort?" Then he reached out and pulled the man over and leaned him against himself.
Ning Fei snorted, but didn't open his eyes. He just dozed off in this position.

In the evening, the group went into a city to rest and booked rooms in the best hotel.
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong were naturally still in the same room. Ning Fei even brought back the unfinished red wine from dinner, saying, "I have wine now. Tell me your story."
"You're treating me as a snack, right?" Duan Yunhong also picked up a wine glass and clinked it with Ning Fei's. "Okay, then I'll tell you this bedtime story."
Duan Yunhong's previous identity in this world was somewhat similar to Ning Fei's current identity, and he was also a member of a chamber of commerce.
However, Ning Fei set the person to be the son of the president. Duan Yunhong was already the president at that time, and the president of Pingdu Chamber of Commerce, and was considered to be very influential nationwide. Duan Yunhong's main business is the import and export of medicines, medical devices and other manufacturing equipment. He also holds shares in hotels, dance halls and other places. At the same time, they also secretly coordinated donations of money and supplies from overseas compatriots to the country, and even involved the import of small arms. So although his life seemed rich and prosperous, it was actually accompanied by constant danger, and it would not be surprising if he was assassinated.
The camp that Duan Yunhong helped was the one that Shen Zejun belonged to.
The armed forces of this camp were very weak at the beginning. Duan Yunhong helped them get weapons and supplies, and later he also transmitted intelligence and helped their people in Pingdu to operate. If you move around too much, no matter how hard you try to hide it, Cheng Lingqi's people will find out. Duan Yunhong is a businessman after all, and he has dealings with them. Many of the big customers are senior military officers or military dependents, or even directly connected to the departments over there. After the other side found out that he had close ties with the enemy camp, they warned him many times. These people still have considerable power, so Duan Yunhong restrained himself on the surface, but continued to do as he pleased in private.
It was at this time that people around Duan Yunhong began to be contacted one by one and tried to be bribed by others.
Duan Yunhong certainly had some insight and tried his best to eliminate potential dangers around him in advance. But his network is so huge and he knows so many people that it is impossible for him to be on guard against everyone. Moreover, if the underground party in the camp tries to infiltrate the other side, the other side will also counter-infiltrate. Among these anti-infiltration people, some were secretly keeping an eye on Duan Yunhong.
Later, there was an incident when the situation was tense and a batch of supplies had to be urgently transported out of Pingdu. Duan Yunhong personally led the team on the pretext of selling the goods to other places. While passing through a war-torn area, the convoy that originally had "compliance documents" was suddenly attacked. Not only were all the supplies stolen and confiscated, Duan Yunhong himself was also shot. Although his life was temporarily saved after being rushed to the hospital, he had little time to rest and was constantly on the road, so his old injuries recurred and the infection worsened soon after.
He was forced to stay in a hospital in a small city for treatment, but the hospital had no antibiotics. Not to mention the hospital, there isn't even one in the entire city. Duan Yunhong had no choice but to mobilize his connections and find ways to get the goods. Logically speaking, with so many medical channels, he is the person most likely to get the medicine, but the situation is too unstable at the moment, resulting in an urgent shortage of antibiotics across the country. Even if Duan Yunhong wants to transfer goods, he has to find the goods first.
Finally, news came from a southern port city that a batch of antibiotics had just been smuggled in. But the quantity was very small, and most of it was snatched away by people from Cheng Lingqi's camp. Duan Yunhong paid money and used his connections to finally get a box of medicine out of his possession. He immediately asked his most trusted friend and assistant to get the medicine.
Duan Yunhong is already very weak at this moment, and he can barely endure day after day, so it is actually very urgent.
However, his good brother and good partner never returned.
"I later found out that he had hooked up with a lieutenant general's daughter and surrendered with my life-saving medicine!"
