Chapter 789: Chapter 470: Night Exploration_2

The tattooed man said to the brothers behind him, "Did you hear that?"

The slick-looking young men, who didn’t appear to be good people, laughed loudly, "Don’t worry, we’re good at this kind of thing."

Next to the woman in the trench coat, there was a woman dressed in a suit; she was a lawyer and watched the scene, her mind swirling with thoughts.

The woman in the trench coat had been an only child, spoiled since childhood, and later married a locally famous financier. The financier, young and wealthy, doted on her as well, and life had been good.

The woman in the trench coat often got her hair done and, bewitched, ended up having an affair with her hairstylist.

The hairstylist was no simple man either. After they got together, he urged her to divorce quickly so they could get a larger share of the property and even went as far as to forbid her from sharing a bed with her husband to force a divorce.

Indeed, faced with such treatment, the financier found someone new. After the woman in the trench coat got the evidence, she boarded a plane and traveled across half the country to catch them.

The woman in the suit sighed and took out her cell phone to see a WeChat message from her good friend Guo Ran, asking when she would return to Nan City.

The woman in the suit replied, "Ranran, don’t even mention it, I’m about to lose my speech."

However, as a lawyer, justice was hard to live by, and making money was the right thing to do, so she took the job.

"It’s at the Blue Spring Hotel!" the woman in the trench coat said bitterly, a malicious glimmer in her eyes.

...

Blue Spring Hotel.

Jiang Ning had been sleeping with his eyes closed when suddenly, Divine Sense trembled, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

With a swift movement, the room door opened by itself, and his body appeared outside.

In front of him, the woman in the trench coat was using a room card on Xue Yuantong’s door, accompanied by the woman in the suit and several strong men.

The group was visibly startled when Jiang Ning appeared.

The woman in the trench coat clenched her teeth, "As soon as the door opens, drag those two out!"

Seeing her continue with her actions, Jiang Ning said, "You’ve got the wrong room; the people you’re looking for are upstairs. This room is my friend’s."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the trench coat paused and shouted aggressively:

"Who do you think you are?"

She spoke in a domineering tone, dismissing anyone else.

Then, she continued to swipe the room card as she pleased.

Jiang Ning flicked his hand, and suddenly, the room card appeared in his hand.

He spoke calmly, his gaze indifferent, "I told you, the room contains my friend, you’ve got the wrong one."

The woman in the trench coat, used to being pampered from a young age and always sought after by men, found the world to be in "easy" mode. How could she handle such treatment?

She was about to lash out, but someone was faster.

The tattooed man’s face darkened, his muscles tensed, and he shook his head as if he was about to hit someone.

He suddenly approached and barked, "Damn it, are you looking to die?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Ning kicked out, hitting the tattooed man in the stomach. The man almost deformed from the kick, flew three meters, and slammed into the wall.

He only slid down to the floor once the inertia wore off, under the force of gravity.

Seeing her cousin get beaten, the woman in the trench coat screamed:

"Kill him, kill him! Beat him to death for me!"

The other greasy-looking men didn’t hesitate, throwing punches at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning threw a punch, and the nearest man was hit on the chin, falling to the ground, limp.

In an instant, three shadows of fists appeared, and the remaining men all fell.

Triggered, the woman in the trench coat cried out, "Ah!"

Jiang Ning swung his hand and slapped her face. She spun around and struck the wall, two bloodied teeth flying out.

"So noisy."

Jiang Ning pulled out a tissue from his jacket pocket and leisurely wiped his hands.

The last woman, in the suit, seeing the scene unfold like a fierce beast unleashing its power, was too scared to move.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, closed the door, and went back to his room.

He called Shao Shuangshuang, "Arrange for someone to clean this up."

...

For Jiang Ning, being disturbed in his sleep was an unforgivable offense, which is why he had acted.

He entered the room, turned on the light, and filled a tall glass with cola.

Soon, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Ning scanned with Divine Sense; surprisingly, it was Xue Yuantong.

Wasn’t she asleep? Perhaps the noise had woken her up.

Jiang Ning had previously set up a soundproof array in Xue Yuantong’s room, so logically, she shouldn’t have woken up.

He waved his hand, and the room door opened.

Wearing slippers, Xue Yuantong rubbed her eyes. Seeing Jiang Ning on the sofa drinking cola, she giggled,

"I just guessed you didn’t sleep last night!"

She closed the door behind her and pouted confidently, "Is it because you’re excited about going home tomorrow, so you couldn’t sleep?"

Jiang Ning replied, "No need to introduce yourself."

Hearing this, Xue Yuantong understood what he meant and defensively said, "I’m not even missing home."

In reality, it was precisely because she was returning to Yuzhou by car the next day, thinking about her mother, Chuchu, and her little room where she slept, that Xue Yuantong felt excited and unusually suffered from insomnia.

Seeing Jiang Ning drinking cola, she couldn’t resist asking for a glass and sat next to him, sipping cola while staring at the night outside.

Jiang Ning, seeing her like this, knew she had no idea what had just happened outside.

...

The woman in the suit almost trembled as she left the Blue Spring Hotel. Business trips were tough; unfortunately, her boss was now being taken away in an ambulance.

But she was not disappointed; instead, she felt thrilled.

Having grown up in a gentle environment, she had only seen fight scenes in movies. However, just now, she witnessed one in person, and the woman in the suit felt a tremendous shock.

She shakily messaged her friend Guo Ran, "Oh my goodness, do you know what I just saw? A martial arts movie, a martial arts movie!"

She nearly spoke incoherently as she told Guo Ran through a voice message.

At that moment, in a small apartment in Nan City, Guo Ran listened to her friend’s voice message, her pretty face looking bewildered.

She listened several times before stretching her body, displaying a perfect curve.

Guo Ran yawned, covering her mouth lazily and asked,

"Qinqin, are you dreaming?"

...

Blue Spring Hotel!

Xue Yuantong declared, "I’m not going back tonight!"

She and Jiang Ning had come out many times, but they had never stayed in the same room overnight.

Seeing her pour another glass of cola, Jiang Ning chuckled, "But, you’re about to finish all my cola."

Hearing this, Xue Yuantong’s momentum weakened by a fraction.

She was going to argue, saying she poured a lot but drank little, among other excuses.

On second thought, her mother had taught her not to use her weaknesses to challenge others’ strengths.

Indeed, she thought, finding another reason to complain, "Jiang Ning, am I not good to you?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Pretty good, but I’m also very good to you."

"Hmph, I’m even better to you." She moved her little feet onto the sofa, curling her body into a ball.

She struggled to open her arms as wide as she could, gesturing, "I’m this good to you!"

Jiang Ning, right in front of her, also spread his arms, much longer than Xue Yuantong’s, "I’m even better to you."

Xue Yuantong felt indignant, thinking so what if you have longer arms!

The taller the person, the bigger the idiot, she thought; she was small and smart.

Ah, if only her arms were longer.

She thought for a moment, then pointed at the TV, "My kindness to you reaches that TV, that far, that great."

Jiang Ning pointed even further, to the door.

Xue Yuantong pointed towards the river visible through the floor-to-ceiling window, "I am that good to you."

Jiang Ning gestured towards an even further pasture, "Beyond the river, that pasture."

The two continued comparing.

In a moment of determination, Xue Yuantong pointed to the deep night sky, thinking of the direction home,

"It reaches from here to the Yu Zhou River Dam, that far."

Jiang Ning, too, pointed towards the night sky, tilting his finger slightly higher, "It reaches as far as the moon."

Xue Yuantong exclaimed, "My kindness to you reaches the moon, and then from the moon back here, that far."

Suddenly, Jiang Ning fell silent.

Xue Yuantong asked, "Did you give up?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Since you’re that good to me, then, share some of your cola with me."

Xue Yuantong pouted, "You, meanie!"
