Shang Ning was speechless. "I'm fine. It was an accident, an accident."
As Shang Ning spoke, she raised her hand and pinched Jin Yining's arm. Was he crazy? He actually took her out at that time.
Xia Tian listened to Shang Ning's words and it seemed that everything was alright.
"Have you come back from your hometown?" Shang Ning quickly changed the subject, since that topic wasn't very friendly.
"Not yet. I'll be back in a few days. I've noticed you haven't posted anything lately. Are you not making money anymore? Not paying back your debts? Not pursuing anyone anymore?"
Shang Ning quickly covered the phone's earpiece, her face unconsciously turning red when Jin Yining looked at her. "Um, let's not talk about this. I don't have time for live streaming lately, but I'll record a vlog when I have time."
"I'm glad you're alright. I think I'll be going back in a few days. Let's have dinner together when I get back."
Shang Ning looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, and finally smiled, "Okay, we'll have dinner together when you come back."
"By the way, what happened when Teacher Jin asked me about my dad and the stone?" Xia Tian got back to the main topic.
"Something came up. Uncle picked up that Lingguang Stone in the suburbs, right?"
"I don't quite remember, but if my dad didn't buy it, it was probably something I picked up from outside because it looked nice." Xia Tian said, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, there's a barren mountain on the outskirts of City A. My dad used to like going there a few years ago. Because it's a barren mountain, very few people go there, and there are quite a lot of loose rocks."
"Are there still barren mountains in the suburbs of City A?"
In a place where land is incredibly valuable, how could there still be barren mountains?
"Yes, it's in the southern suburbs. I don't know whose land it is. I heard that the land management department has no right to auction it off, so it's been lying fallow ever since."
Shang Ning: "..."
The place sounds familiar, but I feel like I've forgotten something.
After speaking with Xia Tian, Shang Ning ended the call.
"Should we go look over there?"
Shang Ning shook his head. "Lingguang Stone has a strong repulsive property. It's impossible for two pieces to appear in one place at the same time. Moreover, I checked before, and so far, no more than five pieces of Lingguang Stone have been seen. I destroyed two of them."
"Professor Shang's hands are really fast."
"Stop teasing me. I spent three million and ended up risking my life." Shang Ning felt that there was really no one more miserable than her in the world.
"How did you come up with the idea of destroying it?"
"What else can I do but destroy it? Cheng Jin and the others came to me before, and the only thing I could think of at that time was to destroy it. Those two were obviously no good, and keeping them around would only cause trouble." Shang Ning said, looking at Jin Yining, "In the end, they still lost their lives. If that thing is still kept, can it possibly be any better?"
"I heard they promised you a lot of money and experimental equipment."
"Yeah, I kind of regret it now that I think about it," Shang Ning sighed. "But there's one question I just haven't figured out."
"What?"
"Is Ning Sang a member of the Ning family, Ning Baiyuan's sister? Or is she an illegitimate child?" Shang Ning had been thinking about this question. After all, Ning Kong's older brother was over fifty years old, so it wasn't impossible for Ning Sang to be an illegitimate child.
Jin Yining: "Do you think this issue is important right now?"
"It's very important, because it relates to just how cunning Ning Baiyuan really is." Shang Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Jin Yining with a smile. "Am I particularly clever?"
"Ning Baiyuan may not be very cunning, but he is definitely not stupid."
