Halfway there, Ning Xi took out her phone, found Lu Jingli's number, and sent him a text message.
[Lu Jingli, I'm going to City C to settle some matters with my foster parents, but I'll be back tonight. Help me tell your brother that I'll meet him when I return to the capital.]
…
At the same time, in the Platinum Palace.
Upstairs, in Lu Tingxiao's study.
The man maintained his stiff posture and had been sitting there for an entire night.
There was a knock on the door, and Lu Jingli cautiously walked in. "Brother … Just now, Little Xixi texted me and asked me to tell you that she has to go to her foster parents' place in City C to deal with some matters, but she will definitely rush back tonight. She also said that when she comes back, she will directly … directly come to see you …"
At this point, Lu Jingli's eyes turned and he immediately suggested, "Bro! Why don't I text Little Xixi and tell her that I'll see her another day? It's such a long journey, so she won't be in such a hurry to come back! "
He was so quick-witted!
Every day he could drag on was one day at a time!
There was silence in the quiet study, and time seemed to slow down to the extreme. Every minute and every second passed extremely slowly …
After some time, Lu Tingxiao stood up, picked up his coat and car keys, and walked out the door.
Lu Jingli's expression immediately changed. "Brother, you're …"
Where was he going?
Was he going to City C?
Wasn't he courting death?
Actually, he felt that he could still be saved!
Lu Jingli opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Lu Tingxiao's expression, he was stunned speechless. He could only watch as Lu Tingxiao walked out of his sight.
That figure …
Inexplicably, he thought of the saying, "The wind is howling, the water is cold, and the warrior will never return" …
He knew that what awaited him might be death, but because his beloved was there, he had to go forward without hesitation, even if he had to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire …
…
After a bumpy journey, Ning Xi finally saw the familiar yet strange village not far away.
After five years, she came back to the place where she had stayed for 18 years. Ning Xi was in a trance for a moment, as if it had been a lifetime.
Her carefree 18 years were also the beginning of all her nightmares. After the passage of time, there was only a faint sense of loss and nostalgia …
"Sister, there's still a long way to go before we get home. I'll call an ox cart!" Tang Nuo was afraid that she couldn't walk, so he said.
Ning Xi collected her thoughts. "Don't call an ox cart. Don't I know how to walk?"
"Oh …" Tang Nuo was quite happy being glared at.
He was most afraid that Ning Xi would be polite to him and treat him the same as before, which made him feel indescribably comfortable.
As Ning Xi walked forward, she asked, "What's the background of the person who borrowed the money?"
Tang Nuo said in a low voice, "That guy is called Hong Bin. He used to work in Sea City and just returned to the village not long ago. He said that he used to work for some big boss, but in fact, he's just a hooligan who only knows how to brag.
Tang Nuo said in a low voice, "His name is Hong Bin. He used to work in Hai City and just came back to the village not long ago. He said that he used to work for some big boss, but he's just a hooligan who only knows how to brag. I've told Dad many times not to associate with this kind of person, but after a few drinks, he called him brother and even took out all his money.
The more Tang Nuo spoke, the worse his expression became. Then, he hurriedly said, "But, sis, don't worry about this. We've already called the police. We'll definitely get it back!"
