Chapter 321: Chapter 236: Happy Zhouzhou

The corridor is not far from the back courtyard, and Jiang Ning, of course, also heard Chen Ergou’s screams of agony.

However, precisely because she heard that only Chen Ergou was screaming, she knew that Qi Xingzhou had the upper hand, so Jiang Ning did not come over.

It wasn’t until she just heard the sound of the door being slammed shut that Jiang Ning’s heart seemed to skip a beat as well.

Suddenly, she remembered the two bodyguards stationed at the main gate.

Hao Manman’s piercing shrieks were so ear-splitting that the high-decibel noise could carry very far, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if those two bodyguards heard something.

Jiang Ning decisively let go of Hao Manman in her hands and walked toward where Qi Xingzhou was located.

And what did she see!

If she had been a moment later, that stick would have landed on Qi Xingzhou!

Call her unreasonable if you will, say she is overprotective if you must.

The usually emotionally stable Jiang Ning, upon seeing an image where Qi Xingzhou might be harmed, felt as if she was witnessing a precious and rare jade develop a flaw. Her heart thumped heavily, and a long-lost anger surged within her.

Without a second thought, she hurled a brick from the system space at the perpetrator with all her might.

The relationship between the two bodyguards and Wang Qingli was indeed a simple employment one.

They had been chosen by Wang Qingli precisely because they didn’t talk much and were honest.

Jiang Ning didn’t seem to be lying, so the two bodyguards exchanged glances and quickly made a decision, "We’ll listen to you."

It didn’t matter that Wang Qingli was only their boss—even if he were their father, he should still be subjected to legal punishment if he broke the law!

Jiang Ning nodded, "They’re just behind us, still alive, you can go check."

Wang Qingli and his group were beaten down to kneel and sprawl on the ground by Jiang Ning, unable to even crawl back up.

The "alive" that Jiang Ning spoke of was indeed alive.

She was not afraid that the two bodyguards would help Wang Qingli and his group escape. Leaving aside whether the two bodyguards would be willing to go that far for their employer, just the fact that she and Qi Xingzhou were watching would make it a feat if the bodyguards could actually take the men away. She’d have to commend them for their skill if they did!

The two bodyguards did not choose to go to the back courtyard to see their employer but quietly sat where they were.

Jiang Ning ignored them and pulled Qi Xingzhou aside. Her gaze, sharp as X-rays, scanned him from top to bottom with concern, asking, "Are you injured?"

Qi Xingzhou also followed Jiang Ning’s line of sight and looked down at himself.

Knowing how much Jiang Ning cared for him filled Qi Xingzhou’s heart with a joy that he couldn’t control.

He obediently shook his head, lifted his hands left and right, and then turned around in a circle for Jiang Ning to see, indicating that he was completely fine.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good then."

But thinking back to the scene she had just witnessed, Jiang Ning still felt a residual fear, "From now on, stay back a bit, you must protect yourself properly and not get hurt, understand?"

He was a billionaire young master who used to have bodyguards around him when he went out in the past.

Now, following her out, things had become rough and ready, all simplicity and no frills.

Jiang Ning truly did not want him to get hurt.

Listenting to Jiang Ning’s words of concern, Qi Xingzhou’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but curve happily.

He stood obediently in front of Jiang Ning like a large, docile ostrich, bowing his head and seriously listening to Jiang Ning’s words, appearing completely harmless and innocent.

Chen Ergou finally managed to open the door to the small compartment and clambered out in disarray.

Turning his head and seeing this scene, he didn’t even recognize that the person under the eaves who was receiving so much concern was the very person who had just given him a beating.
