Chapter 217 You Got Dumped by Your Wife
Luo Ning and four bodyguards helped Zhang Yue, who had already packed up, move to the small courtyard house overnight.
Then, the bodyguards were sent out to scout the surrounding area, partly for safety reasons and partly to assess their abilities.
Because of the movement, Grandma Zhang Yue's condition worsened, so Luo Ning hurriedly gave her another acupuncture treatment, and the old lady finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
"Sister-in-law, Auntie can't go back there, and you shouldn't go back either. It's not an auspicious place!"
Zhang Yue nodded, deeply grateful to Luo Ning.
If it weren't for Luo Ning, she would still be foolishly living there with her mother-in-law.
Looking at the rain outside, Luo Ning almost burst out laughing when she thought about how Xu Jianbin's mother and wife had disappeared without a trace when he returned home.
"You can't tell Xu Jianbin about this place yet, because I live right next door to you!"
“Okay!” Zhang Yue obeyed Luo Ning’s every word. She had no parents or siblings, and apart from her mother-in-law, no one had ever treated her so well.
She complied with Luo Ning's conditions unconditionally.
Sister-in-law, you're in danger. I'm a bad person, and I could easily sell you out.
After convincing Zhang Yue, Luo Ning prepared to meet up with several bodyguards.
Zhang Yue grabbed her arm and anxiously reminded her, "Luoning, you must be careful. I've been feeling uneasy lately. Battalion Commander Xie is seriously injured and in bed. You absolutely cannot get into trouble. Also, you must listen to your sister-in-law and stay away from Ma Daqin."
Luo Ning glanced at Zhang Yue, recalling how she was in so much pain on the train when Xie Chang'an had his accident.
Zhang Yue felt uneasy about Xu Jianbin's detention.
She and Xie Chang'an shared a bond spanning two lifetimes, and she was no ordinary good-for-nothing, which is why she sensed it so strongly.
Zhang Yue is just an ordinary woman. The fact that she could sense this only means that she likes Xu Jianbin, that spoon.
In this world, there are many devoted women, but even more unfaithful men.
It's time to show off our real skills!
No matter how much she tries to shake or torment him, she's determined to correct Xu Jianbin's flawed values and help him evolve into a normal human being.
She also wanted to find evidence to clear the names of the officers in the Heroes' Battalion who had been framed.
While we're at it, let's find the mastermind behind this and eliminate them in the name of the moon.
Tremble, you trash!
Why "them"? That's a secret!
As for Ma Daqin, who was mentioned twice by Zhang Yue, Luo Ning has once again blacklisted her, and they should not even contact her through the message in a bottle anymore.
"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now!" Luo Ning left Zhang Yue's house and quietly walked out of the courtyard. Several tall, muscular figures approached from afar, moving through the night.
From their upright posture and wind-like speed, Luo Ning drew a conclusion.
The Quan family gave her several capable people, and Luo Ning took out her notebook to record the Quan family's contribution.
Several bodyguards walked to the entrance of the courtyard house and stepped forward one after another to report their observations at a speed that Luo Ning could hear but the third one could not.
After the report, Luo Ning nodded. This area was very safe. Their movements at night went unnoticed, and a retired leader lived next door, so ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
Luo Ning's gaze drifted to the neighboring courtyard, a small siheyuan with a similar structure.
Within this area of several miles, there are only these two courtyard houses. A retired high-ranking official lives next door. So here…
Luo Ning suddenly realized that the owner of this house, the one with the old, decrepit voice from yesterday, might not be a simple person.
The bodyguards failed to find out either because the information was deliberately intercepted, or because they were not locals.
Those who cannot be found are the truly important people.
Luo Ning's curiosity began to sprout.
A short while later, Luo Ning led four bodyguards and disappeared into the night.
In Xie Chang'an's ward, the battalion commander lay on the bed like a salted fish.
During the days when Luo Ning didn't return, Xie Chang'an felt that life was truly empty, lonely, and cold.
Feeling cold in this sweltering heat is a sign of utter despair, an incurable disease that may require emergency treatment.
People are so cold and heartless. Even this bed is freezing. I guess I'll be able to be rescued by putting it in a pot later.
"Squeak!" A head poked in and glanced at the bed.
"Brother Chang'an, are you still awake?"
Xie Chang'an, who had been feigning sleep, opened his eyes and glanced at the nonchalant Qiangzi. "It's already late, what are you doing here?"
Qiangzi walked in and kicked the door shut. He started muttering, "I came to take care of you. Who told me to be your good brother? When you were going through a tough time after your wife dumped you, if I didn't come to comfort your wounded heart, who else would I expect to comfort it? Your brothers from the Heroes' Camp?"
"That's not true. They're all locked up. My dad was also reported. Now, An Yi, your entire Hero Battalion is going to be wiped out!"
"Shut up! Do you want to die for talking about military matters?" Xie Chang'an glanced at her nervously, but found nothing amiss, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiangzi walked casually to the window and drew the curtains.
Luo Ning specifically told him today that he should draw the curtains at night, **it's very important.**
This was the first time he had heard this word, and it felt quite novel to him.
"It's okay. Luo Ning said that our own people live on both sides, Zhong Cheng is outside the door, and the room across the street is empty. It's safe. Relax. Look at you, you're so tense, aren't you tired?"
"Get out! Get out!" Xie Chang'an was furious. This person wasn't there to take care of him; they were there to annoy him.
That bastard actually knew Luo Ning wouldn't be back tonight; Luo Ning must have told him.
This wasn't the first time he'd been injured, and he'd never seen Luo Ning come to take care of him in the middle of the night before. Today, Luo Ning must have asked him to come.
Actually, that's not true. It was Qiangzi who volunteered himself and insisted on coming over.
Luo Ning's insistence was too much to refuse, and he reluctantly agreed, which led to the current situation.
Qiangzi leaned against the table, unwrapped a jujube cake, and popped one into his mouth. "Brother Chang'an, my mom sent me to tell you that she failed!"
"So fast?" Xie Chang'an's heart sank. He thought that Sister Tong would be able to hold her own against Luo Ning for at least a few rounds, given how eloquent she was...
Who knew that they would be defeated in just one day?
"That's inevitable. My mother is an illiterate rural woman. How could she possibly beat your clever little wife?" Qiangzi thought to himself as he chewed on a sour jujube cake.
Today he witnessed the entire process of his mother being defeated; it was utterly tragic!
Luo Ning easily knocked her mother to the ground, and she's still in shock at home, grumbling, "How did I fail? Why did I fail? Where did I go wrong?"
That's tragic, isn't it? This guy is destined to be a loser!
"Brother Chang'an, this matter probably still needs Teacher Fu to handle. A shrewd person against a shrewd person has a better chance of winning. But tell me, what exactly did you do to offend your wife? Why is she so upset with you?"
Xie Chang'an closed his eyes; he didn't want to talk to this bastard.
Qiangzi didn't care what Xie Chang'an thought; his mouth was only for eating and talking.
He ate a very satisfying meal today – buckwheat noodles and duck soup – it was absolutely delicious.
Now all that was left was to talk, so Qiangzi became quite talkative, "Brother Chang'an, your jujube cake is so delicious! I really want to go and see the workshop in Luoning myself. I heard it's called Anning Food Factory, and the brand of this jujube cake is called Sweet Honey. Listen to that name, isn't it exciting? And the packaging is so hygienic and clean, and most importantly, it's super delicious!"
Anning Food Factory, the "An" in that name is the same as the "An" in "myself," right? Yes, right?
Xie Chang'an suddenly became agitated, and Zhao Qiangzi stepped forward and whispered something to him.
"Brother Chang'an, wait for my good news!" Qiangzi left excitedly.
