Chapter 393 Loading the Pistol
Jiang Ning was quite surprised to meet Lin Wanrong so soon.
But she noticed that Lin Wanrong didn't seem particularly surprised when she saw her, a person who was nominally dead.
But a barely perceptible hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Ning judged that Lin Wanrong's presence here at this moment was very likely not a coincidence.
She came specifically to ambush her.
The reason why people know she is not dead is most likely because she has been active in the capital recently, increasing the chances of her being seen.
Country C is, after all, the territory of the Lin family, and the Imperial City, as its capital, is even more so.
Lin Wanrong had many informants, so it wasn't difficult for her to discover that she was still alive and that she was in this hospital.
"Miss Jiang, what brings you here? After two years, you've finally remembered to fulfill your filial duty to your deceased grandfather?"
Lin Wanrong's words had a hidden meaning, and Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“Since Miss Lin knows that my surname is Jiang, then I naturally have no connection with your grandfather who passed away two years ago... As for what I am doing here, that is none of your business.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning took a step to leave, but was stopped by Sun Qiaoyu's bodyguard.
"Miss Jiang is, after all, Miss Wanrong's friend. Her miraculous return from the dead is something to celebrate... How about I invite you both to a simple meal? I hope you'll do me the honor!"
Judging from Sun Qiaoyu's posture, Jiang Ning seemed to want to take the opportunity to capture her and Lu Junyan and control them.
The Sun family and the Lin family are now in cahoots, birds of a feather.
She could hardly help but suspect that this was Lin Wanrong's idea.
If Lin Jingcheng was indeed killed by Lin Wanrong, then this hospital is the scene where Lin Wanrong committed the crime.
Now that she has appeared here, Lin Wanrong has most likely guessed that she is investigating Lin Jingcheng's death.
"No need. Miss Lin and I are not friends. I have other things to do. Please make way."
Jiang Ning had already made his point very clear, but Sun Qiaoyu burst into laughter.
“Miss Jiang, there’s no reason for me, Sun Qiaoyu, to refuse your invitation. If you’re not going to do me the honor, then I’ll have to be a little more forceful in inviting you.”
Upon hearing Sun Qiaoyu's words, Jiang Ning immediately clenched his fists.
The other side has a large number of people, while she and Lu Junyan are only two people. They are probably outnumbered.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to grab Lu Junyan and rush out together, Lu Junyan suddenly stepped forward.
"The tougher approach you mentioned... is this what you mean?"
The bodyguard at the front had his pistol taken from his waist by Lu Junyan at some point, and the dark muzzle was instantly pressed against Sun Qiaoyu's head.
Everyone present was stunned.
"What are you doing, Mr. Lu? Murder is a crime, not to mention this is the capital city, not your City A. Don't think you can act like a tyrant!"
Sun Qiaoyu glared at Lu Junyan.
However, Lu Junyan smiled.
"Since Mr. Sun has put it that way, I'm even more determined to give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Junyan deftly cocked the pistol and put his index finger on the trigger.
"President Lu, calm down, calm down..."
Sun Qiaoyu was so frightened that his voice trembled.
He immediately gave his bodyguards a look, and they all stepped aside to make way for Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan sneered, holding the gun in one hand and grabbing Jiang Ning's hand with the other.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Lu Junyan's hands were always cold.
However, the large hand that was enveloping her at that moment was incredibly warm.
And so, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan walked hand in hand back to the car.
At the hospital entrance, Lin Wanrong's face looked ashen, as if she had been smeared with soot.
"That Lu Junyan wouldn't actually fire a shot, why are you so afraid of him?!"
Sun Qiaoyu was also annoyed by Lin Wanrong's yelling.
"I was originally trying to help you. I have no grudge against Jiang Ning... Besides, how do you know Lu Junyan won't shoot?"
"I……"
Lin Wanrong opened her mouth and gasped.
If it were someone else, they would definitely just be bluffing with a gun.
However, once the object of her affections became Lu Junyan, Lin Wanrong felt uncertain for some reason.
Jiang Ning sat in the car and saw Lu Junyan driving while contacting Xiao Zhang to prepare a private jet.
"You want to transfer Xiaoman, Lin Yueheng, and Chu Yao to City A?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Ning asked earnestly.
"Um."
Lu Junyan simply nodded without offering any further explanation.
Jiang Ning didn't need Lu Junyan's explanation.
Currently, she is investigating Lin Jingcheng's death and the issue of his will, which concerns Lin Wanrong's life and fortune.
If they find out something, Lin Wanrong will be driven to desperation and may even target those around her.
In particular, Lin Wanrong now has the Dragon Tooth Gang behind her.
It won't be long before Lin Wanrong finds out about Xiaoman's existence.
It would be most dangerous for Xiaoman to stay by her side.
Jiang Ning understands the logic.
However……
Jiang Ning was still filled with reluctance to be separated from her one-year-old son.
Lu Junyan knew that his decision was extremely cruel to Jiang Ning.
However, Country C is, after all, the territory of the Lin family and the Sun family, plus the Dragon Tooth Gang.
Even if he brings a lot of people with him, it would still be difficult to guarantee Xiaoman's safety.
But things are different once we return to City A.
There, the Lu family's influence could better protect Xiaoman.
The car became unusually quiet.
After a long pause, he heard Jiang Ning ask softly:
"Xiaoman... he's already on the plane?"
"Um……"
Lu Junyan nodded.
Jiang Ning suddenly turned her head and glared at Lu Junyan with resentful eyes.
She should at least be allowed to say goodbye to Xiaoman properly!
"There's no other way, just in case, we have to be quick."
Jiang Ning was amused by Lu Junyan's explanation.
"Why do we act like we're in a spy movie, racing against time?"
Although she said that, Jiang Ning knew in her heart that Lu Junyan was right.
When they returned to the house that Lu Junyan had provided for them, as expected, Xiaoman, Lin Yueheng, and Chu Yao were all gone.
Xiao Zhang and the Lu family's most capable bodyguards went to escort Xiao Man and the others, which made Jiang Ning feel both reluctant to part with them and quite relieved.
She contacted Shen Feiyang, who was far away on W Island.
"Boss, are you not planning to come back?"
Shen Feiyang asked curiously over the phone.
He never imagined that Jiang Ning would stay in Country C for so long.
"I won't go back for now."
"Then what should I do?"
"Come here!"
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Shen Feiyang fell silent.
From Jiang Ning's tone, he couldn't tell why Jiang Ning wanted him to go to Country C as well.
If he wasn't mistaken, Jiang Ning, who was in Country C, should have Lu Junyan accompanying him.
Given Lu Junyan's good looks, whether it was lust at first sight or feelings that developed over time, he ultimately believed that Jiang Ning was unlikely to need him anymore.
"You haven't made up yet, have you?"
