Chapter 313: Chapter 228 The Cute Little Sparrow

Zhang Lang, having nothing better to do, compared photos of Juejue and Jiang Ning through the eyes of netizens and suddenly understood why this generation of netizens couldn’t recognize Jiang Ning.

When Jiang Ning first appeared on the internet as Miss Terminal Illness, she looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness, extremely thin and obviously frail at first glance.

But over these two months, Jiang Ning might have recovered from her illness, or perhaps she has been treating herself well, as she put on some weight and looked very healthy.

If it weren’t for Zhang Lang knowing Jiang Ning’s identity from the very beginning, he probably would have had a hard time connecting Jiang Ning with Juejue.

——ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ——

More than an hour later, the airplane touched down steadily at Capital City Airport.

Hao Manman, seated in her spot, breathed a huge sigh of relief, impatient to get up and wished she could immediately get off the plane and appear at the hospital.

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, who were in the business class, also woke up, took their carry-on luggage, and left the plane following the stream of passengers.

By coincidence, just as Jiang Ning got off the plane, she saw Hao Manman.

This was her twenty days of life value.

Jiang Ning silently followed Hao Manman with Qi Xingzhou in tow.

Hao Manman had no idea that her identity had been recognized, and at the moment, she was frowning as she said to her assistant, "Xiao Liu, call an ambulance over."

With a face full of festering sores that itched unbearably, Hao Manman could hardly wait to lie in a hospital the next second.

"Sister Manman, what’s wrong?" Xiao Liu stepped forward with concern: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Just call if I tell you to call. Why ask so many questions?" Hao Manman replied impatiently, her high heels clicking on the ground. However, before Xiao Liu could make the call, her own phone rang.

The moment Hao Manman saw the three characters "Wang Qingli" displayed on her phone, a flash of apprehension crossed her eyes.

She had deliberately not contacted Wang Qingli, thinking to do so after entering the hospital, but Wang Qingli had taken the initiative to call her.

Hao Manman answered the phone, her voice carrying a hint of tenderness: "Director Wang."

Director Wang?

Wang Qingli?

Jiang Ning quietly approached Hao Manman.

Wang Qingli’s voice came out of the phone: "Hao Manman, you’ve arrived in Capital City, right?"

"Just arrived," said Hao Manman: "I was about to contact you."

"The driver I sent to pick you up is already at the airport gate, so hurry up." After Wang Qingli finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hao Manman, frustrated by being hung up on, didn’t know what was going on with these three, pushing her to rush back to Capital City!

Hao Manman turned and said to her assistant with dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and get the luggage, Director Wang’s driver is already waiting outside, move fast."

The assistant acknowledged and ran to get the luggage hurriedly.

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou continued to follow Hao Manman until they saw her get into the car. Then Jiang Ning went to the parking lot, drove her own car out, and followed behind the private car Hao Manman was sitting in.

If Hao Manman hadn’t received that call, making plans for an ambulance to go to the hospital, Jiang Ning probably wouldn’t have followed her.

But that call just now, Jiang Ning strongly suspected it was from Wang Qingli to Hao Manman, and she needed to confirm it herself.

Jiang Ning followed the private car from a distance, watching the driver drop the assistant off halfway, while Hao Manman didn’t get out of the car.

The sedan continued to drive, and Jiang Ning kept driving behind them.

Then, Jiang Ning discovered that she was getting closer and closer to the "evidence" in the mission!

The place that the driver was taking Hao Manman to was actually... a body dumping site!

Jiang Ning’s mind jolted.

Knowing Hao Manman’s destination, Jiang Ning chose not to continue following her.

Since this was the suburbs, the number of vehicles was dwindling, and if Jiang Ning kept tailing her, it would be very easy to get spotted.

Jiang Ning turned on the turn signal, stepped on the gas, and overtook the other car.

Now that she knew the destination, Jiang Ning was not worried about losing them.

Following the System’s GPS directions, Jiang Ning gradually approached the body disposal site indicated with a red marker on the System’s map. Eventually, she focused her suspicion on a small villa not far away.

In front of the slightly old-looking villa, there was a very expensive luxury car parked, and even two bodyguards stood at the entrance, completely out of place with everything around.

Jiang Ning drove away to park in an inconspicuous dead angle. Then, she patted the silent Qi Xingzhou in the passenger seat, "Let’s go, get out of the car, I have a task for you."

If nothing unexpected happened, she and Qi Xingzhou were probably about to make a clean sweep of this operation.

Jiang Ning took out the shoulder bag she always carried with her from the back seat and asked Qi Xingzhou to call over a wild bird to help.

If it weren’t for Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning might have already hiked the bag over her shoulder and scaled the wall behind the villa by now, but as reckless as that was, who wouldn’t prefer a more ingenious approach?

She took a small bag of brown rice out of her purse as a reward and waited for the sparrows Qi Xingzhou summoned to eat their fill before tying a miniature surveillance device onto one of the sparrows. To make it less noticeable, Jiang Ning even intentionally put a cute little scarf around its neck.

The group of sparrows entrusted with this important task soon set off with great vigor and valor.

Jiang Ning took out her phone and fiddled with it for a while, and soon, her screen lit up with live footage from the surveillance camera.

Jiang Ning also took out a pair of earphones from her shoulder bag, wore one herself, and gave the other to Qi Xingzhou.

The two of them returned to the car and quietly waited for the sparrows to scout ahead.

The clueless sparrows flew to the villa entrance without attracting anyone’s attention.

On the monitor, the two muscular bodyguards stood like door gods outside, until the arrival of a private car broke the calm.

The sparrows hopped and chirped on the walls.

Jiang Ning quietly looked down, watching Hao Manman get out of the car.

The two bodyguards obviously knew Hao Manman. When she got out of the car, one of them approached and said, "Miss Hao, Director Wang and the others have been waiting for you inside."

"Mhm," Hao Manman responded coldly and stepped inside the house.

A flock of sparrows also followed her in, flapping their little wings playfully.

Inside the living room, Wang Qingli, Liu Zuolin, and Huang Xianfu had been waiting impatiently. The moment Hao Manman appeared, their gazes immediately fell on her.

Wang Qingli only glanced at Hao Manman before shifting his gaze away, respectfully addressing another person, "Master, everyone is here now."

This suite used to be Hao Manman’s family home, but now it seemed as though Wang Qingli was the master of the house.

Hao Manman had just spoken on the phone with Wang Qingli and knew that Liu Zuolin and Huang Xianfu should also be there.

But what she did not expect was that it hadn’t been that long since she last saw them, and Wang Qingli and his companions had aged so much!

Previously, Wang Qingli and the others were just out of shape, yet they still seemed spirited. But now, the three men appearing before her looked as if they had been drained of all energy, their faces gaunt, as though they were at death’s door.

Hao Manman, showing a look of surprise, couldn’t help but ask, "What happened to you... you all?"
