Ming Xiwang and Jiang Ning met four years ago.
Four years ago, Ming Xiwang was bitten by a venomous snake while on a mission in the mountains.
He was bitten by a highly venomous snake, and almost immediately after being bitten, he experienced dizziness and weakness.
To make matters worse, Ming Xiwang not only didn't recognize the species of venomous snake, but also lost his phone.
In the last second before his consciousness faded, a little girl carrying a basket on her back suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ming Xiwang pulled an ID card out of his pocket. "Little sister, your brother is dying. Take this to the police station at the foot of the mountain. They'll know what to do."
The little girl did not reach out to take what he offered, but instead bent down to examine his wound very carefully, her expression solemn.
Ming Xiwang gave a bitter laugh, "Little sister, stop looking, or your brother will really die! If you go down the mountain now, they might be able to give your brother a proper burial."
If it gets late, jackals and wolves will appear in the mountains.
He'll probably be reduced to nothing, not even bones, by then.
Ming Xiwang never imagined that he, who had been so wise throughout his life, would end up with no trace of his remains.
The girl didn't say anything, but tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and tied it directly to Ming Xiwang's leg to prevent the venomous blood from flowing upwards. "Judging from the wound, it bit you with a sharp-nosed viper, also known as a five-step snake! There is always an antidote within seven steps of where a venomous snake lives. You wait here, I'll be right there."
"You're a doctor?" Ming Xiwang was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to react.
"Yes." The little girl nodded.
Ming Xiwang then asked, "Can you save me?"
"Hmm." The girl seemed pretty cool, with a somewhat aloof personality and didn't like to talk much.
Ming Xiwang smiled again, "Little sister, if you can save your brother, I'll call you brother from now on!"
The little girl didn't say anything, and walked away with her basket on her back.
Ming Xiwang used all his strength, "Little sister, don't go too far. Remember to bring people up to collect your brother's body! I don't want to be left to rot in the wilderness and become food for jackals."
"....."
No one responded.
Ming Xiwang whistled, trying to find humor in his predicament.
Oh!
The little girl is pretty cool.
About ten minutes later, the little girl returned, holding an unknown herb in her hand. It looked rather strange and had a strong smell.
"You mean this herb can save my brother's life?" Ming Xiwang asked, his face pale.
"Little sister, do you know that only antivenom can cure snake venom?"
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Did you graduate from junior high school?
Mingxi Wang is a chatterbox, constantly asking questions.
The little girl didn't say anything, but just put the herbs in her mouth and chewed them until they were crumbs. Then she spat them into her palm and patted them directly onto Ming Xiwang's wound.
"Ouch! It hurts! Little sister, be gentle!"
"Pain or death, you choose one," the little girl continued.
Mingxi looked at Youdi and shut up.
He initially thought the girl was exaggerating.
She looks too young.
He doesn't look like a doctor at all.
Unexpectedly, only half an hour after applying the herbal medicine, Ming Xiwang felt his dizziness and lightheadedness lessen considerably, and his strength even returned significantly. In an instant, the way Ming Xiwang looked at the little girl changed!
"Little sister, you're simply my goddess!"
"Oh no, you're my brother!"
"From now on, you'll be my brother."
"May I have your name?"
"Jiang Ning."
“Brother Ning!” Ming Xiwang stood up from the ground, raised three fingers, and said very sincerely, “I, Ming Xiwang, swear to the sun that from today onwards, I will become sworn brothers with Jiang Ning. From now on, as long as Brother Ning says the word, I, Ming Xiwang, will go through fire and water without hesitation! I do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but I ask to die on the same day, month, and year.”
Faced with Ming Xiwang's childish remarks, Jiang Ning just gave him a disdainful look.
After that, Ming Xiwang and Jiang Ning kept in touch.
But Ming Xiwang noticed that Jiang Ning seemed to have changed. She was no longer the same Jiang Ning as before. Although her face was still the same, her temperament and personality had completely changed. This situation intensified, and later, Ming Xiwang realized that Jiang Ning seemed to have become a completely different person.
She started wearing heavy makeup and becoming incredibly worldly. Later, she even turned her back on her family for a man, and even Ming Xiwang helped the former Jiang Ning do many bad things.
But now.
Ming Xiwang noticed that Jiang Ning seemed to have changed back to her old self.
Jiang Ning said in a calm tone, "People change."
At this point, Jiang Ning seemed to have thought of something, "But are you sure the current me is more like the old me?"
“Of course!” Ming Xiwang nodded. “Brother Ning, we’ve known each other for so many years, would I lie to you?”
Jiang Ning raised her hand and pressed her forehead, something seemed to flash in her clear peach blossom eyes.
Fleeting.
Ming Xiwang then added, "I've sent you Rong Xiaoju's bank statements."
After saying that, Ming Xiwang added, "Hmm, it doesn't seem like anything unusual."
Jiang Ning opened the bank statement sent by Ming Xiwang and frowned slightly.
Rong Xiaoju's bank statements are perfectly normal.
The largest transaction was only 50,000 yuan.
But often, the more normal something seems, the more abnormal it is.
Jiang Ning continued, "Check Shi Nanyue's bank statements again."
"OK."
Soon, Ming Xiwang sent over Shi Nanyue's message.
Ming Xiwang rested his head in his hands and said, "Brother Ning, isn't it strange? Shi Nanyue's bank statements are quite normal. Large transactions are all corporate transfers."
Shi Nanyue has her own studio, so it's normal for her to have business-related financial transactions.
Jiang Ning looked at Shi Nanyue's transaction records, his handsome face almost expressionless. After a moment, he spoke, "Pay close attention to Shi Nanyue and Rong Xiaoju's movements these next few days."
The flow of funds for Shi Nanyue and Rong Xiaoju is perfectly normal.
It's unbelievably normal.
"no problem."
After saying that, Ming Xiwang continued, "Brother Ning, when do you have time to grab a drink together?"
"I've given it up," Jiang Ning said.
"Give it up?" Ming Xiwang was shocked.
"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded.
Ming Xiwang smiled and said, "I forgot, you never liked drinking to begin with, so it's good that you've given it up."
