Chapter 270: I’m Attracted To You
Facing Chief Ling’s inquiry, Huo Yishen honestly responded, “I’ve made changes before and after the disaster.”
“The quality is really good. With the Maybach being crashed like that, your car surprisingly has no damage at all. Must have spent quite a bit on modifications, right?”
“Not much money spent, just tinkering around on my own.”
Chief Ling sized up the two of them. “Can you tell me what happened today?”
Jiang Ning looked calm and said, “The ice is three feet thick, and it didn’t freeze overnight.”
Women are good at complaining. She truthfully recounted the incidents of rich people in the neighborhood ganging up on them, to Rong Sanshao driving over and crashing into them, talking for over an hour.
The weary Chief Ling almost fell asleep, barely holding back a yawn.
“According to eyewitnesses, they said one of you had a bomb, and the other had a hand grenade. These things are all prohibited by law.”
“That’s not true,” Jiang Ning didn’t even blink, “They’re just trying to frame us. If you don’t believe, you can search us.”
Chief Ling did the search, making his subordinates carefully inspect the vehicles.
Then, his gaze fell on the timid little girl, “Little girl, you really didn’t have a bomb or a hand grenade?”
Doudou fearfully hid behind Huo Yishen, peeking out, “Uncle Policeman, we didn’t. They’re all bad people, blocking us from entering the neighborhood, and the alpaca even spat at us. My body hurts, the seatbelt left a mark.”
She wasn’t lying; Doudou’s tender shoulders were bruised.
They searched inside and out of the car, but found nothing.
Chief Ling’s gaze was deep and stern, “Can we go and see where you live?”
Jiang Ning was nonchalant, “Sure.”
The whole family went out, she put away things that shouldn’t be seen into the space.
Just as they were about to get in the car, the walkie-talkie crackled, “Chief Ling, there’s been a homicide in the West New City area, six or seven people dead.”
Chief Ling looked regretful, “That’s it for today. The police station will contact you later.”
As the police car departed, Chief Ling settled into the back seat, closing his eyes to rest. “Find two skilled individuals to sneak into the security team, keep an eye on Building 50 every day. Don’t make any sudden moves. Let me know immediately if anything comes up.”
Watching the police car drive away, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen didn’t speak. They drive the Hummer to go home.
Hearing the sound of their own car, the dog was scratching at the gate next door.
The gate opened, and the dog rushed towards Jiang Ning while whimpering.
After parking the car in the garage, Huo Yishen checked inside and out, making sure everything was normal before locking the door.
“Are you worried they planted listening devices?”
“It’s better to be cautious,” Huo Yishen said, “Ordinary people might not, but it doesn’t mean the police station won’t.”
Inside, locking the door, Jiang Ning asked, “Why do you think Chief Ling gave up halfway?”
With the Rong family pressuring him, they should be more concerned and put more effort into this.
Huo Yishen thoughtfully said, “Chief Ling might have recognized us.”
Not because of familiarity, but possibly guessing about the Qingang base.
In a past life, Huo Yishen had collaborated with Chief Ling. He was wise, brave, and strategic, yet open-minded, capable of adjusting to new situations.
With too many loopholes, it’s not that hard to find it out, even if he couldn’t guess that Jiang Ning had a space, but with his ability, finding the two of them shouldn’t be difficult.
Huo Yishen didn’t tell the truth, just to ease her mind.
Regarding the incident at the base, Chief Ling didn’t redirect his police force for a thorough investigation. Which shows that he have his own thoughts, including today’s events.
But no matter what, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Anning, if you feel uncomfortable living here, we can find another place.”
“I feel very comfortable,” Jiang Ning never cared about those people anyway, “Do you and Doudou not want to live here?”
—
Finding a good place to live was not easy and there’s always troublesome matters wherever one went.
There were two sets of apartments across from the police station, they could move in anytime, but wherever there were people, there were disputes.
The cramped room, where you could bump into someone with just a turn, still had unresolved troubles.
Here was relatively better; they could just shut out the world’s noise.
Even if the Rong family threw a bomb in, there was a three-meter-high wall separating them, preventing a direct hit.
For Huo Yishen, anywhere was fine, as long as it was where she and Doudou were.
“Woof!”
Oh right, there’s also Coke, can’t do without it.
Never mind, take it one step at a time; thinking too much about it in the end of the world was useless.
After dinner, Jiang Ning organized the information given by Ma Guangnian and planned to redesign the glass house on the rooftop.
There were over thirty types of herbs, apart from those in her space. She still lacked about ten types.
Looks like they’ll have to go deeper into the mountains to find more herb seedlings, to prevent them from being wiped out by unpredictable disasters.
The police came and went, Building 50 remained unharmed, and the Rong family suffered a loss.
The news circulated secretly in the neighborhood, causing anxiety among the residents; what exactly was the background of Building 50 that even the police couldn’t deal with them?
The Rong family didn’t even mention it.
No, Rong Sanshao did, he came to apologize in person.
Heavens, what was happening in this world?
“Jiang Ning.” Rong Sanshao stood with hands on his hips, shouting upstairs.
The only response he got was the vicious dog’s roar.
Initially, Jiang Ning didn’t want to respond, but Rong Sanshao just wouldn’t leave.
This bastard seemed to radiate an aura wherever he went, quickly attracting a crowd.
She only wants to live a low-key life, why was it so difficult?
Fortunately, Rong Sanshao came alone, without bringing security guards, and there were no ambushes around. Jiang Ning intended to resolve this quickly.
Seeing Huo Yishen wanting to accompany her for protection, she refused, “No need, I’m wearing a bulletproof vest, you can have a wider view from upstairs.”
Opening the door, she quickly went out.
The dog leaped out, agile, with a fierce gaze. Did it not recognize its family?
Who was it!
According to the scent, it successfully identified the intruding leg, muscles tensed instantly, emitting a low growl of attack, waiting for the command from the poop scooper.
To be honest, Rong Sanshao had seen fierce dogs before and even visited a dog fighting arenas, but never seen one this ferocious.
It couldn’t be described as just menacing; it seemed to want to crush him to pieces.
What was the origin of Building 50? Training children into experts was one thing, but even a dog…
Rong Sanshao suddenly regretted a bit; he had indeed acted impulsively today, thinking he could solve it with his previous methods, after all, in Fengcheng, who didn’t give face to the Rong family?
Now he completely understood it. He doesn’t know who gave him the courage.
The world had truly changed.
But, face still mattered!
Rong Sanshao rubbed his nose, “Jiang Ning, that, uh…”
Seeing that there were onlookers, Young Master Rong glared, and the onlookers who felt his displeasure left instantly.
He waved to Jiang Ning, “I have something to tell you.”
Jiang Ning stood still, “Just say it.”
No, speaking from this far away, wasn’t he losing face?
Seeing her unmoved, Rong Sanshao blurted out unconsciously, “I’m attracted to you…”
Huh? Did he have a mental problem?
Jiang Ning scrutinized him with a skeptical look, “Attracted by my beauty?”
