The tattooed man said to the brothers behind him, "Did you hear that?"
The slick-looking young n, 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 treatnt, the financier found soone 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 ssage from her good friend Guo Ran, asking when she would return to Nan City.
The woman in the suit replied, "Ranran, don’t even ntion 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 glimr 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 movent, 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 n.
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 n, found the world to be in "easy" mode. How could she handle such treatnt?
She was about to lash out, but soone was faster.
The tattooed man’s face darkened, his muscles tensed, and he shook his head as if he was about to hit soone.
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 deford from the kick, flew three ters, and slamd 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 scread:
"Kill him, kill him! Beat him to death for !"
The other greasy-looking n 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 n 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 soone 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 ho tomorrow, so you couldn’t sleep?"
Jiang Ning replied, "No need to introduce yourself."
Hearing this, Xue Yuantong understood what he ant and defensively said, "I’m not even missing ho."
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 environnt, she had only seen fight scenes in movies. However, just now, she witnessed one in person, and the woman in the suit felt a trendous shock.
She shakily ssaged 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 ssage.
At that mont, in a small apartnt in Nan City, Guo Ran listened to her friend’s voice ssage, her pretty face looking bewildered.
She listened several tis 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 co out many tis, but they had never stayed in the sa 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 montum 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 mont, 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 mont of determination, Xue Yuantong pointed to the deep night sky, thinking of the direction ho,
"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 exclaid, "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 , then, share so of your cola with ."
Xue Yuantong pouted, "You, anie!"
