"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll leave immediately, I'll leave immediately. I promise I won't appear in front of you again!" Iron Crutch Seven hurriedly said.
"You'd better remember what you said, or else there won't be such a good thing for you next time." Ning Jie snorted coldly, then came to Xia Chen's side and held onto Xia Chen's arm, "Hubby, let's go out for a walk."
He was in a hurry to deal with Song Xiong. As for Iron Crutch Seven, that damned cripple, he didn't have the time to deal with him for the time being. If this damned cripple dared to cause trouble for him again, then he would directly kill him.
Seeing Ning Jie and Xia Chen walk out of the room, Iron Crutch Seven was extremely depressed. Today was really f * cking unlucky. Not only was he beaten up by the same guy twice, he was even f * cking robbed twice. How did he accidentally provoke two such powerful people? Should he f * cking take revenge for this enmity?
"For now, let's not provoke them. It won't be too late to take revenge when we have the chance." Iron Crutch Seven was shocked by Ning Jie's move just now. At this moment, he no longer had the courage to take revenge.
Ning Jie brought Xia Chen to another room on the third floor, but the room card was already in her hands. She took out the room card, opened the door, pulled Xia Chen in, and closed the door. Xia Chen immediately saw a person lying on the floor of the room, it was Song Xiong, who had once been Ning Jie's bodyguard.
Although his power was limited this time and he couldn't use it as he pleased, the use of silver needles to hypnotize Song Xiong had nothing to do with the fire and ice spiritual energy. Therefore, this time, he successfully hypnotized Song Xiong, and then, no matter what he asked, Song Xiong would answer every question he asked.
Song Yumei had only sent Song Xiong here to watch over him, which was very normal. With Song Xiong's ability, in a place like Wang Hong Kong, there were not many people who could pose a threat to him, and Song Yumei had thought that with Xia Xia's power being restricted and Ning Jie unconscious, she would be able to let a powerful subordinate like Song Xiong observe Xia Xia in the dark. Otherwise, Song Yumei felt that it would be enough to find someone to observe Xia Xia in the dark.
It was a pity that Song Yumei did not know that although Xia Chen's power was restricted, she was not as weak as she had imagined. Song Yumei did not know that Xia Chen could actually save Ning Jie, and even used the Yin Fire in Ning Jie's body to break through the restriction she had placed in Xia Chen's body. In the end, in such a short period of time, Xia Chen had already changed his passive situation greatly, and now, Song Xiong was already under his control. In a short period of time, Song Xiong would follow Xia Chen's wishes and make up a tragic story for Song Yumei every day.
The only thing that made Xia Chen feel a little depressed was that Song Xiong's ability to make up stories seemed to be quite poor. He actually didn't know how to make up stories, but fortunately, Ning Jie volunteered to make up stories and let Song Xiong tell them according to the story. Thus, from that day onwards, Ning Jie had a sideline, and that was to write novels.
Ning Jie had already thought of the general plot of the novel. A penniless young man came to Wang Hong Kong and had no choice but to start as a beggar. He was bullied, but he also had a beautiful dream. He even met a beautiful and kind-hearted girl and fell in love with her. Unfortunately, this beautiful girl ended up being the mistress of another rich man …
"Hubby, I've decided to publish this novel in the future. Then, the name of the book will be Wang Hong Kong. Please forget about me tonight, or else it will be called the Ocean of Love." Ning Jie was in a good mood at the moment, because she knew that she and Xia Chen were safe for the time being.
"No problem, when I get rid of that damned woman, Song Yumei, I'll help you publish the novel." Xia Chen agreed.
"Hubby, I don't think we can leave this place for the time being. Why don't we rent a house?" She didn't know how long they would stay here, but she felt that it definitely wouldn't be a matter of a few days, maybe a few months or even longer. Now, they had to start planning for the rest of their lives.
The reason why she suggested renting a house was because Ning Jie knew that they had nearly five thousand yuan now. Although the rent in Wang Hong Kong was definitely not cheap, renting a house shouldn't be too much of a problem. Ning Jie actually didn't really like staying in hotels, she felt that renting a house would be like a home no matter what.
He didn't really like this hotel either. The two of them quickly reached an agreement to rent a house now. If they could move in at night, that would be even better.
"This place is called Minxing Village. A few years ago, a lot of houses were built. These houses are all called Minxing Paradise. It's just that the number of houses is different. There should be dozens of them." Walking out of the hotel, Ning Jie softly introduced the situation around here to Xia Chen. Just now, when she was following Xia Chen, she also asked about the situation here. Although she wasn't very clear about it, she had a basic understanding of this place. "Most of the houses in this place were bought by the villagers of Minxing Village, and some were given to them. However, they rarely live here, and most of them are rented out. Look, there are rental advertisements everywhere."
Xia Zhi glanced around, then said, "I think these houses are pretty much the same!"
"Well, it's about the same." Ning Jie nodded, "We need to buy a cell phone first, then call the landlord who posted the ads."
She didn't know much about these things in the summer, so she let Ning Jie handle it. Ning Jie first went to the cell phone store, spent 300 yuan to buy a counterfeit cell phone, and then spent 100 yuan to buy a cell phone card. Then, she started to call according to the advertisement.
Although there were a lot of houses nearby, most of them were occupied, so it wasn't easy to rent a house. Ning Jie had been walking around the area for a long time, making more than ten calls, and most of the houses had been rented out. Only two houses had not been rented out yet, but one of them was a two-bedroom living room, and the monthly rent was twenty-five thousand five hundred, and she had to pay a quarterly rent. Although the other was a one-bedroom living room, the rent was also two thousand, and she could pay it once a month, but she also had to pay a deposit for two months' rent. Ning Jie calculated and found that she still didn't have enough money, so she had no choice but to continue calling.
"The rent in this place is really expensive. It seems to be even more expensive than in Beijing." Ning Jie was a little depressed. She had thought that five thousand yuan would be enough to find a place to stay, but now it seemed that the money was still not enough.
She made a dozen more calls, but still didn't find anything. There was a house that was cheap, the monthly rent was only 1500, and it was still two bedrooms and one living room, but the landlord was even more outrageous. He asked for a year's rent, plus a deposit of 2000, which was exactly 20,000, which almost made Ning Jie want to curse.
"Why don't we stay in the hotel tonight? I'll go earn some money tomorrow and rent a house then." Xia Zhi finally couldn't help but say.
"Hubby, it's not that easy to earn money here." Ning Jie couldn't help but say softly.
"I think it's very simple. At most, I'll go rob." Xia Zhi said with an indifferent expression.
"It's not good to rob them after all. Those people from before took the initiative to provoke us, so it's fine if we rob them. But if we take the initiative to rob them, I don't think it's appropriate." Although Ning Jie had a body full of abilities, some of her ideas were deeply rooted. Unless she had no other choice, she felt that she couldn't rob them. After pausing for a moment, she comforted Xia Chen, "Hubby, don't worry, we'll definitely find a suitable house. After we find a house, I'll go find a job. It won't be a problem to support the two of us."
Without waiting for Xia Zhi to speak, Ning Jie started calling again because she saw the rental advertisement again.
This time, after hanging up, Ning Jie was especially happy, "That's great, hubby, we finally found a suitable house, one room, one living room, there are appliances, as long as 1500, pay one deposit, that's only 3000, we still have more than 1000 left after paying the rent, enough for us to use for a month, hurry up, let's go see the house now!"
According to the address given by the landlord, Ning Jie found the place after asking a few people. When Ning Jie arrived outside the room, she started to feel that there was a reason why this house was cheaper. This house was actually on the ninth floor, and it was fine if it was on the ninth floor, but this house actually didn't have an elevator, which confused Ning Jie. Wasn't there a rule that a house with more than seven floors had to have an elevator? This room was already on the ninth floor, why didn't it even have an elevator?
This room number was also quite unlucky, it was actually 911. Fortunately, Ning Jie didn't care about it, she just needed a place to live with her in the summer, a place that could be used as their home, so she quickly rang the doorbell.
The door quickly opened and a man in his thirties appeared at the door. Seeing Ning Jie, the man seemed to be stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "You're renting, right? "Come in!"
Ning Jie pulled Xia Chen in and began to observe the room. At that moment, the man closed the door and locked it.
"What are you doing?" Ning Jie suddenly realized that something was wrong. Usually, the landlord wouldn't close the door when looking at a house, so locking it was even stranger.
Before the man could say anything, one of the bedrooms inside suddenly opened and two more men walked out. Both of them looked to be in their thirties.
Ning Jie immediately frowned. She was extremely depressed because she saw that the two men were holding knives in their hands. It seemed that in this day and age, it was easy to take advantage of them. She had thought that the rent was cheap, but who knew that she would enter a bandit's lair!
"Robbery!" As if to confirm Ning Jie's guess, one of them said, "Hand over all the money!"
