Shang Congfeng's face was red from the heat of the fire, and he remained silent.
Upon hearing Jin Yining's words, Shang Ning lowered her eyes, feeling a stinging pain in the corner of her eye.
It was the answer I already knew.
Qin Wei tapped the clock on his wrist, watching the jade Bagua on the ground gradually crack. "Old Jin, there's no time left."
"Then let's perish together."
As soon as Jin Yining finished speaking, Qin Wei only had time to rush over and tackle Shang Ning to the ground before the stone door shattered due to the impact from inside.
Shang Ning: "..."
The Chu family, located far away in the city center.
Chu Ningyi seemed not to have expected this scene to unfold. He moved his lips, but couldn't utter a single word.
The man beside her was of an indeterminate age, with a faint smile between his brows and a slight upturn at the corners of his lips, a true wolf in sheep's clothing.
“Dad, I told you it wouldn’t be that simple if you wanted to arrange things for this kid.” Gu Xicheng chuckled and touched the tip of his nose. “This is to show you.”
Jin Yining was discovered by Gu Xicheng. After Jin Yining completed his studies, he completely withdrew from the position of Luoshen. He originally intended to hand him over to his father-in-law for two years so that his father-in-law could decide whether to hand over the position of Xuelang to him.
After all, this position has far-reaching implications, so it's right for the father-in-law to be careful.
But you shouldn't try to exploit someone's weaknesses.
Gu Xicheng rushed over from City B, fearing that his father-in-law would be so angry that he would kill the kid. It seems the outcome was not bad.
"This kid is like you."
Gu Xicheng smiled elegantly as always, "Of course."
The moment this kid boarded his ship and ruined his mission, he knew he was going to get this kid.
"So, he passed the test?"
thump thump thump...
"Come in." Chu Ningyi turned to look at the doorway and watched the person who pushed the door open and entered.
When Leng Yexi came in, he didn't expect to see Gu Xicheng. He nodded slightly and said, "Brother-in-law."
Gu Xicheng's wife is Chu Ningyi's daughter and Gu Xiaoqi's cousin. It's perfectly fine for her to call him brother-in-law.
Even if we had said hello.
"Looks like another one has come to recite his lessons. Alright, I'll go check on Mom first. Ye Xi and Dad can talk." Gu Xicheng said, turning and leaving the study.
Leng Yexi raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, "Jin Yining..."
"No need to vouch for that kid anymore, I understand." Chu Ningyi raised his hand slightly, indicating that Leng Yexi didn't need to continue. "From today onwards, the affairs of the base will be entirely in his hands."
Leng Yexi paused for a moment, then understood what he meant.
Alright, you don't need to memorize this book anymore, you can go back now.
This kid's one explosion blew away all his worries.
The fact that he survived the fire, taking care of those he needed to kill and sending those he needed to jail, proves that he can handle things on his own. You bunch of big shots, just let go and let me fly on my own.
When Shang Ning woke up, her head was throbbing with pain. She felt as if she had been pressed to the ground and rubbed hard, kicked a few times, and then rolled down the mountain.
"Awake?" Jin Yining put down the apple she was peeling and checked the time. "Not bad, three minutes later than I expected."
Shang Ning: "..."
Shang Ning kept staring at the ceiling, while the strong wind outside continued to blow against the glass.
Jin Yining raised his hand and waved it in front of her, "Are you stupid?"
Shang Ning tilted her head slightly, seemingly pulling on something, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Jin Yining, did I cause you any trouble? You could have easily handled it yourself," Shang Ning said, expressing her doubt.
