After hearing the news, Ning Yuan thought for a moment and then instructed the two men, "Sixth Brother, I heard you're quite the lock picker, right?"
A skinny man patted his chest ingratiatingly: "That's right, Sister Ning, if you give the word, there's no door in the world I can't get into."
Ning Yuan glanced at him sideways: "Don't get yourself into jail. You'll be waiting for someone here with me later."
The sixth brother nodded quickly: "That's for sure, Alam's mom still needs me to support her! I'll help you push the cart?!"
Ning Yuan shook her head: "No need, just bring your tools."
Old Liu patted his old satchel slung across his shoulder with a smug grin: "Don't worry, I'll take it!"
Another companion, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, gave him a sour look.
Damn it, even the sixth brother, with his petty thievery, managed to get on Sister Ning's good side.
He quickly stepped forward to ingratiate himself: "Sister Ning, is there anything I can do for you?"
Two men in their forties bowed and scraped before Ning Yuan, calling her "sister" as if it were perfectly natural.
After all, everyone within a ten-mile radius knows that this person has an extraordinary backer.
Who would have thought that a young girl would dare to run such an enviable business all by herself, and that she could be so ruthless? The cops are protecting her, and there are some hidden big shots behind her.
She was very generous this time when I helped her with something!
She is indeed someone who deserves to be called "sister".
Ning Yuan knew that with the help of her two uncles and Ying Gang, no one would dare to cause her trouble.
But she never expected that she would be known among the local thugs as a powerful figure who had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds!
Ning Yuan glanced at the other man and slipped three yuan into his hand: "Ma Zi, could you please take some people to Uncle Fang's to borrow a camera, and then meet up with the others downstairs in that tenement building? You can all have lunch together."
Ma Zi was overjoyed to receive the task and clutched the three yuan. He quickly said, "Okay!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly and swiftly left.
Ning Yuan took Lao Liu directly to the state-run restaurant next door, spent one yuan and two grain coupons to order two servings of pork rib rice, and had lunch together.
Not long after finishing his meal, Ah Heng came in, stretching and yawning with a toothpick in his mouth: "Oh, I'm so hungry. Waiter, two servings of pork rib rice, put it on that girl's tab."
As Ning Yuan got up to get the tickets from the waiter, she rolled her eyes at Aheng and said, "You finally decided to get up!"
She, who had been tossed around by Young Master Rong early in the morning, had all gotten up and finished her business.
This guy was having a great time, sleeping until one o'clock in the afternoon.
Ah Heng chuckled, sat down next to Ning Yuan, and playfully touched her chin: "I'm just conserving my energy so I can serve you, little sister."
Ning Yuan: "..."
Okay, I'm feeling greasy.
She rolled her eyes: "Didn't you run with 20 kilograms of weight last time? Didn't you run enough?"
Ah Bai had a baby and couldn't lift it anymore, so Chen Chen continued to lift the big black wolf, while Ah Heng carried a bunch of pots and pans and ran all over the playground.
It's also a kind of... neurotic scenery!
Ah Heng thought of his captain, looked around nervously, and when he found no one there, he immediately put on a grin again.
"Hey, the captain can't always follow you around, what are you afraid of? Good stuff, not everyone likes this kind of thing."
Ning Yuan was speechless. Did this guy always forget that he was a woman?
She was too lazy to argue with Ah Heng anymore, and sized him up: "Are you even up to the task?"
Last time Rong Zhaonan climbed three floors with his bare hands, this time it's Aheng's turn... Is he really capable?
Ah Heng put his arm around Ning Yuan's small shoulders and said with a smile, "No problem, I'm no worse than my brother, I can definitely meet my little sister's needs!"
Old Liu, who was listening nearby, almost buried his face in his bowl of soup.
"Are you sure you can handle it?" "I'm no worse than my brother." "I can definitely meet my sister's needs..."
Good heavens, what did he hear?
The two brothers are serving Sister Ning together?!
As expected of my sister!
The local bullies had their own set of logic. Far from thinking Ning Yuan was "improper" or "morally corrupt," Lao Liu actually admired her greatly.
That's how capable men and women in the underworld should be!
He even secretly glanced at Ah Heng with a hint of envy. Being able to serve Sister Ning... he had a bright future ahead of him!
That makes sense. If the younger brother has such a handsome face, then the older brother must be very handsome too!
Ning Yuan was unaware that someone had inexplicably imagined a whole drama for her, but she keenly sensed his strangely envious gaze.
She glanced at it suspiciously.
The sixth brother immediately lowered his head obediently and respectfully: "I didn't hear anything, Sister Ning."
If you want to work for the eldest sister and curry favor with her, you have to keep everything you see to yourself.
A question mark slowly appeared on Ning Yuan's forehead.
After Ah Heng finished eating.
Ning Yuan called Chu Hongyu, and then took Lao Liu and Aheng directly to the tenement building.
Ma Zi and two others were already waiting, and they were using the money Ning Yuan had given them to buy soda.
Upon seeing Ning Yuan approach, he put down his soda, grabbed his camera bag, and immediately came over eagerly: "Sister Ning, you're here!"
Ning Yuan glanced at the tenement building not far away and nodded: "What's going on?"
Ma Zi said, "She hasn't come down yet. The woman bought some vegetables and went inside."
Ning Yuan nodded and followed Aheng to the side, whispering, "I'll bring Chu Hongyu over so we can have dinner together. Then you can go ahead and look out the back window."
Ah Heng glanced at the building and nodded: "Okay!"
Ning Yuan glanced at her watch; it was almost four o'clock. Since she had already made arrangements, she turned and left.
She turned onto the next street, and soon saw Chu Hongyu get off the bus.
Chu Hongyu looked alright overall, wearing a blue plaid skirt and white top, looking strikingly beautiful, but she seemed preoccupied.
Ning Yuan greeted her with a smile: "Sister Hongyu."
Chu Hongyu looked at her and smiled: "Xiao Ning, how has class been these days?"
She took half a month off to relax at her aunt's place.
Ning Yuan nodded, took her arm, and said affectionately, "Everything's fine. Once you've explained things clearly to Su Xueming this time, you can come back to class, okay?"
She shook her head: "Back then, you advised me not to let my studies be neglected because of relationships."
Chu Hongyu paused, then gave a low, bitter laugh: "Sometimes, we understand many principles, yet we still can't live a good life."
You can only advise others when it doesn't concern you; it's only when it happens to you that you realize that the unity of knowledge and action is a lifelong practice.
Ning Yuan patted her: "It's okay. I believe Xue Ming wouldn't really let you down. It's all a misunderstanding."
Chu Hongyu hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Has he come to the school to see me these past few days? What did he say? What was his attitude like?"
She hadn't seen Su Xueming for almost half a month.
I've known him since I was fifteen, for eight years and nine months now. Except when he's away on business or studying, we've never gone more than two days without seeing each other.
After she turned eighteen, they lived almost like husband and wife, and she always treated him as her husband.
Ning Yuan nodded: "Su Xueming comes about every two days, and his attitude is very good. I just don't know what he did wrong. He always says a lot of nice things to me."
Chu Hongyu was taken aback, then her expression softened: "Really?"
