In the distance.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh.
That Su Xiaoya…
she sure knew how to act tough when she had backing.
But…
he liked it!
“Little girl!
Don’t you try to play tricks on me!” The greasy man looked around, but he couldn’t find anyone else suspicious.
“I’m telling you!
Today, not even God himself could take you away from me!”
After saying this, the greasy man pulled out his phone and made a call.
“Get your asses over here!
I’ve found Su Weiwei and her daughter!”
Hearing the greasy man call for backup, Su Weiwei’s expression grew tense, and she squeezed Su Xiaoya’s hand tightly.
“Mommy, don’t be scared!
I’m sure Father Jiang is somewhere nearby!”
Su Xiaoya broke free from her mother’s grip, once again spreading her arms wide to shield Su Weiwei.
Su Weiwei also looked up, searching.
Jiang Ning let out a wry smile.
He knew he couldn’t stay hidden any longer.
The only reason he hadn’t appeared right away was to save Su Weiwei from embarrassment…
“So you really are here.”
Su Weiwei looked at Jiang Ning and murmured, hastily lowering her head.
Her face was etched with bitterness, and she couldn’t meet his gaze.
After all, to be found in a situation like this…
Even the most thick-skinned person would be at a loss.
“Father Jiang!
I’m over here!”
Su Xiaoya waved her hands vigorously, shouting at Jiang Ning.
“Xiaoya, I’m here.”
Jiang Ning smiled faintly, walked over to Su Xiaoya’s side, and gently stroked her hair.
“Kid!
I don’t care who you are!
This mother and daughter are coming with me!”
The greasy man, seeing Jiang Ning completely ignore him, sputtered in a rage.
“Xiaoya was right.
If you leave now, you still can…”
Jiang Ning gently picked up Xiaoya, his voice laced with a warning.
But it was as if the greasy man couldn’t hear him.
He snorted coldly.
“A commoner like you wants to meddle in the Four Seas Gang’s business?
You must have a death wish!”
“The Four Seas Gang?” Jiang Ning’s lips curled into a smirk as he slowly shook his head.
The greasy man thought Jiang Ning was scared and immediately became incredibly arrogant.
“Kid, since you know who we are, scram!
Otherwise, when my men get here, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!”
“Tsk tsk tsk.” Jiang Ning clicked his tongue before revealing the truth.
“The Four Seas Gang?
I happened to wipe them out last night.
I didn’t expect to find one who got away.”
The greasy man was instantly furious.
“Bullshit!
The Four Seas Gang is…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his phone started ringing wildly.
He picked it up and saw it was an urgent summons.
“Hello?
What’s wrong?”
Forgetting all about his composure, the greasy man snatched up the phone and answered.
“Quick!
Come with me to the Four Seas Gang headquarters!
It…
it looks like someone took them out…”
The surroundings instantly fell deathly silent.
‘What?’
‘Taken out?’
‘How is that possible?!’
The greasy man looked at Jiang Ning, his face a mask of disbelief.
‘Could he have really done it?’
“Now, do you believe me?”
Jiang Ning chuckled softly, and with a flick of his finger, two small stones shot through the air.
PFFT—PFFT—
The greasy man’s knees were pierced, and he slammed to the ground, forced to kneel.
“Apologize!”
Jiang Ning’s voice was calm.
But to the greasy man’s ears, it boomed like a sudden clap of thunder.
“Argh!”
The greasy man collapsed onto the ground, his eyes vacant.
He was completely stunned.
‘What just happened?’
“P-please…
I’m begging you…
let me go…”
Having come to his senses, the greasy man screamed at Jiang Ning.
“Was I asking you to apologize to *me*?”
Jiang Ning’s voice was cold.
The greasy man instantly understood and began kowtowing desperately to Su Weiwei and Su Xiaoya, begging for mercy.
Watching the greasy man—who was usually so domineering—now kneeling before her, Su Weiwei pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Her expression was complicated, a mix of bewilderment and uncertainty!
“Mommy!
Let Father Jiang kill him!
If he kills him, we’ll never have to be bullied again!”
Su Xiaoya’s words were shocking.
“No!
If he kills someone, your Father Jiang will go to jail!
We can’t drag Jiang Ning into this!”
Although Su Weiwei desperately wanted to kill the greasy man herself, she suppressed the hatred in her heart for the sake of Jiang Ning’s future.
Jiang Ning, however, wasn’t surprised.
‘It’s only natural for a child to wish death upon the person who bullied her and her mother.
It would be strange if she didn’t.’
‘In fact, someone who would forgive their enemy is the one who’s truly incomprehensible!’
“Don’t worry!
Even if I kill him, I won’t go to jail!”
Jiang Ning walked to Su Weiwei’s side, gently patted her back, and transferred some Spiritual Qi to her.
Su Weiwei was pregnant, and yet she had to endure such humiliation.
It was a miracle the stress hadn’t caused her water to break!
“No!”
Su Weiwei grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand, shaking her head frantically with tears streaking down her face.
“Jiang Ning!
Just go!
It’s not worth going to prison for us!
Really, just teaching him a lesson is enough!”
Jiang Ning remained silent.
He knew Su Weiwei wanted to kill the greasy man.
But considering his own future, she was holding on to a thread of reason.
“I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Ning smiled faintly, and the psychological pressure on Su Weiwei instantly eased.
“Th-thank you for sparing my life!”
The greasy man sputtered out in a panic, then hurriedly began dragging his legs and crawling toward the hospital…
The Four Seas Gang was destroyed!
The backing he was so proud of had collapsed!
This left the greasy man with nothing but boundless terror in his heart!
However, Jiang Ning had no intention of letting him go.
With another flick of his finger, a streak of flame shot out from his fingertip…
“Let’s go.
I’ll take you two to get some breakfast.”
Jiang Ning set Su Xiaoya down and spoke to Su Weiwei.
“I…”
Su Weiwei was at a loss for words.
‘If she were single, if she didn’t have a child…’
‘She could agree!’
‘But now…’
“Mommy!
If you don’t eat, the little sister in your tummy will be hungry too.”
Su Xiaoya rubbed her own stomach and pouted.
Of course she wanted to eat breakfast!
She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had a proper meal.
“Fine!”
Su Weiwei said, gritting her teeth.
She pulled a handful of loose change from her pocket.
Some small change…
a single bill…
a five…
There wasn’t even a ten.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Ning asked, confused, as he looked at the change she was holding out to him.
“Jiang Ning, this is to thank you for saving me and Xiaoya today.”
Su Weiwei said, looking at Jiang Ning as if she had just made some great resolve.
“Weiwei, you should keep it…
I’m a very wealthy man, you know.”
Jiang Ning said with a self-deprecating laugh, hoping to ease Su Weiwei’s pressure.
“No!
If you don’t take it, then I’m not eating!”
Su Weiwei insisted.
It wasn’t much money.
But it was all she had!
With her everything, she was trying to draw a clear line between them.
Perhaps this was the only thing she could do for Jiang Ning.
“I’ll listen to you.”
Jiang Ning smiled faintly, took Su Xiaoya’s and Su Weiwei’s hands, and led them toward a nearby restaurant.
…
“Are you sure that’s the kid?”
Just as Jiang Ning left, several figures emerged from a shopping mall, holding a photo of him.
“My lords!
It was him!
I couldn’t possibly be mistaken!
The man who was just here, that was him!”
