Chapter 552: Chapter 550: Scheme within a Scheme 6_1

It’s over!

This time, it’s well and truly over!

I’m going to be stuck in prison for life.

No, it’s the death penalty!

The death penalty!

Mrs. Song gasped for breath and, with a blackout of her vision, fainted.

Xia Ningxing slightly curled her lips, glanced at her, and then withdrew her gaze.

She now knew the location of this organization, so she expected that the research institute and the authorities would arrive soon.

So, she could escape successfully!

Just as Xia Ningxing was trying to figure out how to leave, to her surprise, she heard the sound of a door opening.

Someone was coming!

Xia Ningxing immediately became alert and pulled out a sharp knife from her boots.

Hiding behind the door, she waited to deliver a fatal blow to whoever came in.

Although she was pregnant, she wasn’t showing much yet, so it didn’t affect her combat power at all. Even if a group of people came, not just one, she was confident she could handle them with ease.

With a creak,

the door opened, and in came a fat, greasy man, his eyes gleaming with ill intent.

Rubbing his hands in anticipation, his gaze brightly fixed on the person on the bed.

"Little beauty, Lu is here!" he said excitedly, lunging towards the person on the bed.

Ever since Mrs. Song had brought Xia Ningxing, he had been coveting her beauty and couldn’t wait to take her for a play.

But before he could make a move, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and fainted.

Before he passed out, his pupils dilated in terror.

The little beauty was supposed to be on the bed, right? How did she end up behind him and knock him out?

And who was lying on the bed?

Unfortunately, the fat man would never have a chance to find out as he fainted.

Xia Ningxing wiped her hands in disgust as if she had touched some bacteria.

Just then, faint noises came from the direction of the door.

Was someone else coveting her beauty?

Xia Ningxing’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and with a cold smile, she raised her foot, ready to strike at the intruder’s filthy parts.

Just as Xia Ningxing was about to strike, she realized...

"Lu!"

Xia Ningxing’s eyes widened, covering her lips in shock and joy as she looked at the man.

It wasn’t some beast coveting her beauty; it was him!

Her husband!

Xia Ningxing’s eyes inexplicably welled up with tears, turning red all of a sudden as her previously empty heart quickly filled up.

Although she was not afraid to face danger, she had to admit that seeing her loved one at this moment gave Xia Ningxing an unstoppable sense of security.

She immediately dropped her aggressive stance and tightly embraced his strong and powerful waist.

"Lu, I’ve missed you so much."

Xia Ningxing buried her head in his chest, took a deep breath, and expressed her longing.

They had only been apart for a day or two, but due to the extremely high risk, a misstep could lead to an accident. If it was severe, they might be separated by life and death, making these couple of days feel as long as years.

But she had no regrets.

This organization is extremely vicious, specializing in researching some demented and harmful things. If we do not eradicate it, who knows how many innocent people will be involved.

"I miss you too, but I’m more worried about you," Lu Tingli couldn’t help holding her tight but soon let go, his hands on her shoulders, his long eyes scanning her with concern: "Are you alright?"

"No, no, everything is fine with me and the baby!" Xia Ningxing shook her head quickly like a rattle-drum.

"It’s good to hear that, it’s good to hear that." The heart that Lu Tingli had stuck in his throat could finally settle down, he held her hand: "The place is already surrounded by public forces, with them here, these people won’t be able to escape. Ningxing, now I will protect you, come with me, I will definitely bring you and the child back home safely."

His eyes and brows carried a sureness.

"Okay, let’s go."

Xia Ningxing smiled at him and gripped his hand firmly, following his steps.

Before leaving, Lu Tingli seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped.

"My dear, wait here for a few seconds," he said to the girl, his brow lowered.

"What’s wrong?" Xia Ningxing asked, puzzled.

But she quickly understood what he was about to do.

She saw Lu Tingli pick up the lamp beside the bed and smash it directly towards the fat man’s...

Even though Lu Tingli hadn’t witnessed what had happened just now, he could guess the fat man’s intention.

Just the thought of him daring to do such a thing to his woman made Tingli’s rage surge uncontrollably.

If it weren’t for Ningxing’s good reflexes, who knows what could have happened!

So!

Lu Tingli smashed without hesitation, with almost all the strength he had in his body.

The fat man, who had been unconscious, suddenly let out a pained scream, but Lu Tingli had anticipated his shout, so he had already covered his head with the quilt.

Now, only a faint and desperate whimper could be heard.

Lingli did not let go until the man had passed out again.

"Lu," Xia Ningxing somehow had come to his side.

Tingli immediately threw the lamp away, looking like a guilty child, somewhat embarrassed: "Did I scare you?"

"No, am I that timid!" Xia Ningxing winked at him and then picked up his hand: "Instead, I should thank you for taking my anger out on him."

Lu Tingli breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and kissed her smooth, fair forehead: "I am your man, if I don’t stand up for you, who will I stand up for?"

Xia Ningxing happily snuggled against him.

"No more fussing, we will talk about love properly after we get back."

"Who wants to talk about love with you!" Xia Ningxing’s face suddenly reddened at a remarkable speed.

Lu Tingli smiled indulgently and took her hand, leading her away.

The director had already come out to meet them, and upon seeing them come out safe and sound, the director’s eyes reddened, saluting Xia Ningxing with reverence: "Comrade Xia, on behalf of the research institute and the citizens of Star Shine, I thank you for your fearless spirit. If it wasn’t for your willingness to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks, how could we have taken down the enemy’s lair so quickly!"

"It’s nothing, contributing my modest efforts for the nation is what every citizen should do," Ningxing replied humbly, with a gentle smile.

"If every citizen were like you, Star Shine would undoubtedly be immensely strong!" The director looked at her with admiration.

In the face of disasters, too many people are cowards.

But she had a noble spirit, willing to sacrifice the personal self for the greater self.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

She had to admit, she only felt that she would not get into trouble.

If she had a bad feeling about it, perhaps maybe she would have been cowardly too.

She hadn’t yet given birth to the boss’s child; how could she die, and she hadn’t grown old with the boss yet...

And there were many other things!

But Lu Tingli just snorted coldly, not seeing it as anything honourable.
