Ye Linglong hid in her room and didn't even come out for breakfast. She probably didn't know how to face Ding Ning.
Fortunately, when she was studying array formations or Talisman Taoism, she often stayed in the room for a few days without showing up, so no one suspected anything.
She could hide it from others, but it was difficult for her to hide it from Night Lone Ranger, who had been with her day and night. After breakfast, she took Ding Ning out to interrogate him with the excuse of taking a walk.
As long as Ding Ning was at home, he would accompany the pregnant Night Lone Ranger for a walk every day. Proper exercise was helpful for the delivery, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
In the face of Night Lone Ranger's interrogation, Ding Ning, of course, admitted it frankly. Anyway, this was originally Night Lone Ranger's hope. She wanted to keep her master, who was dependent on her, by her side forever in this way.
However, Ye Linglong was thin-skinned. Even if she had to deceive herself, she was unwilling to make it public. The two of them came to a consensus that they would respect Ye Linglong's opinion and pretend to be ignorant.
"Hubby, do you think mother-in-law will like me?"
There were only two days left before the Spring Festival. All the girls knew that Ding Ning had decided to bring their mother over to celebrate the Spring Festival with them. Night Lone Ranger touched her big belly and asked with some worry.
"Silly girl, you're already pregnant with my child. I'm sure mom will be very happy."
Ding Ning held her waist and accompanied her to walk by the sea. He pinched her nose affectionately and comforted her.
"What if he doesn't like it?"
Although Night Lone Ranger relaxed a little, she still said without confidence.
"My Du Xing is beautiful, gentle, and considerate. She's definitely a great beauty who is loved by everyone. You don't know how happy my mother is to find such a daughter-in-law. How could she not like me?"
Ding Ning knew that this was the reaction of pregnant women who liked to indulge in flights of fancy, so he took her hand and promised solemnly.
"I heard from Sister Qianlie that Granny is very beautiful. She used to be the most beautiful woman in Yan Jing. She must have high standards."
Night Lone Ranger leaned her head on Ding Ning's shoulder and stood side by side with him by the sea, saying with some longing and some worry.
"That's true. Mom is indeed very beautiful, but my Du Xing isn't bad either. Don't worry, Mom is a very good person. Don't worry."
Ding Ning said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I've seen on TV that it's very difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along. I'm just a little worried."
Night Lone Ranger also felt that she was too pretentious, so she said embarrassedly.
"I say, why are you suddenly so unconfident? So it's because of the TV series. "
Ding Ning laughed involuntarily.
"By the way, you're going to shoot a TV series after Chinese New Year, right? Can I go and watch you shoot?"
Night Lone Ranger suddenly thought of this and asked expectantly.
"Of course, no problem. I'll go shopping with you today. It's time to buy some clothes and toys for our baby."
Ding Ning felt very guilty. During this time, he had been busy with many things and had little time to accompany her.
Although Paradise Island was beautiful, one would eventually develop aesthetic fatigue after seeing too many beautiful sceneries. Moreover, pregnant women tended to get emotional easily. If he could not be by her side all the time, she would easily become depressed.
"Really?"
Night Lone Ranger suddenly raised her head and said in surprise.
"Of course it's true. Let's go and buy now. Your husband is not short of money."
Ding Ning felt a lump in his throat and almost shed tears. He felt so guilty that he wanted to die. He pretended to be a rich man and waved his hand, taking the opportunity to turn his head to hide his moist eyes.
He knew that Night Lone Ranger did not care much about shopping, nor did she lack baby clothes and toys. After all, his sister had already prepared everything and filled two rooms. What she cared about was that he could accompany her.
For other couples, shopping might be a very common daily thing, but for Night Lone Ranger, it was no different from an extravagant hope. After all, he was too busy.
"Great, then I'll go to change clothes. Wait for me."
Night Lone Ranger didn't notice his guilt and said happily. Then she couldn't wait to run into the castle.
Seeing this, Ding Ning was frightened and repeatedly asked her to slow down. Only then did Night Lone Ranger realize that she was pregnant. She turned around and made a face at him naughtily. Then she slowed down and walked to the castle.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
The urgent phone rang. Night Lone Ranger stopped and slowly turned her head to look at him. Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, she said with a considerate smile, "If you have something to do, let's do it another day. Anyway, we are not in a hurry."
Ding Ning smiled slightly. "Go and change clothes. Even if something big happens today, it is not as important as accompanying me, Night Lone Ranger."
Night Lone Ranger bit her lip and took a deep look at him. Then she turned around and walked to the castle.
"Brother Lu? How is it going? "
Ding Ning answered the phone and asked.
"Boss, that sniper is very stubborn. He refuses to talk no matter what, but that King is a coward. He was killed after three rounds of torture."
Lu Zhan said calmly, with obvious disdain for King. Even if he was an enemy, they still admired him for his stubbornness.
"Tell me."
Ding Ning said unhurriedly. He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"King is the leader of the Alliance of Freedom. He is the leader, but in fact, he has no leadership power. In the name of freedom, he gathers some elites from all walks of life under his command. He takes advantage of their mentality of seeking thrills to accept killer or mercenary tasks …"
With Lu Zhan's report, Ding Ning soon understood what was going on with the Alliance of Freedom.
King was an American Chinese. His grandfather's generation had immigrated to the USA. He had no roots in the Shenzhou Empire, so he could be regarded as an authentic fake foreigner.
This guy had been doing nothing since he was a child. He mingled with people from all walks of life all day long. Relying on his local acquaintances and connections, he made a living by buying and selling information. Although he did not have to worry about food and clothing, he could not make a fortune.
For King, who was determined to make a name for himself, this was by no means a long-term plan. He planned to make a fortune all day long.
Finally, the opportunity came. By chance, he got to know a very famous information broker in the industry. From then on, he embarked on a different life.
The industry he was engaged in was the original prototype of an information broker. However, the information he sold was earth-shattering news. A valuable piece of information could easily be sold for millions or even tens of millions of dollars. His small business could not be compared with it at all.
Therefore, King was tempted. He sincerely expressed his desire to be apprenticed to that information broker.
He was lucky. That information broker had made enough money and wanted to train a successor before he retired. Seeing that King was eloquent and clever, he thought he was a good seedling to be an information broker.
Most importantly, he was a Chinese, which was a good cover for opening up the information market in the Shenzhou Empire. Therefore, after testing him, the broker officially took him in.
King was smart and had a foundation in this field. Moreover, he saw the hope of making big money. He put in all his effort and threw himself into it. He got the hang of it very quickly and did a pretty good job. The old information broker was very satisfied and gradually began to hand over his authority to him.
It was only then that King understood that every information broker had a huge information system supporting them. They either cultivated it themselves or obtained it through cooperation.
The worst thing was that it was not easy to be an information broker. They only cared about money and had no feelings.
As long as they were paid, they could even sell information about the color of the underwear the target's wife was wearing today. This was a job that offended a lot of people. One could walk the line between life and death at any time and encounter life-threatening dangers at every turn.
He liked money, but he cherished his life even more. After a few narrow escapes from death, he could not help but want to back out.
However, it was easy to get in but hard to get out of this business. Moreover, the old information broker had already handed over all his connections to him. If he were to back out now, it would only be a dead end.
Therefore, King began to think of ways to increase his strength to protect himself and prepare for his exit from this business.
Using the information he had, he got in touch with the underground black market and spent a high price to buy the genetic potions that could increase his strength …
"Wait, genetic potions? You mean there are genetic potions on the black market? "
Hearing this, Ding Ning hurriedly interrupted Lu Zhan and asked.
"There have always been, but the effect of this genetic potion is very unstable. Some people's strength increases sharply after taking it, while others will explode and die after taking it. Except for those who have no other choice but to fight with their lives, few people are interested in it. King was fooled by others, so he foolishly spent a high price to buy it. But this guy is lucky. Although the process was a little painful, he survived in the end and his strength increased greatly. He directly became a master of body techniques."
Lu Zhan explained patiently.
Ding Ning was confused again. "Body techniques? What is that? "
"Uh, boss, you don't know about body techniques?"
Lu Zhan asked in astonishment. He had thought the boss was omniscient, but he did not expect that he had not even heard about body techniques.
"Should I know?"
Ding Ning said gloomily.
"I thought you knew. This is common sense. Our Shenzhou is divided into two orthodox cultivation systems, the national martial arts and the ancient martial arts. But in western countries, their main cultivation system is called body techniques, which emphasizes on the development of physical strength. It is very common to improve strength with the help of drug stimulation."
Lu Zhan explained patiently.
During this period of fighting in the war-torn areas, he had gained a lot of knowledge. At the moment, he said with fervor and assurance, "The genetic potions sold on the black market are all unstable. I heard that many ancient big families in the West have genetic potions with extremely stable properties. Although it does not increase strength much, its effect is stable. As long as you take it for a long time, your physique will be gradually improved, and your strength will continue to increase. Finally, you will become a master of body techniques with great strength."
"I see. Go on."
Ding Ning frowned and thought to himself, "I don't know whether these genetic potions come from the Descendants of God Organization or other scientific research institutions."
Speaking of genetic potions, he would subconsciously associate them with the Descendants of God Organization, but in fact, he knew very well that genetic potions were not exclusive to the Descendants of God Organization. Many countries and even some powerful big families were secretly studying genetic potions, but the Descendants of God Organization was obviously ahead of everyone else.
The funds needed for scientific research were a bottomless pit. Even the Descendants of God Organization could not afford such consumption, not to mention other organizations or individuals. Therefore, it was normal for them to take out some finished genetic potions with stable properties to raise funds for the next step of research.
Of course, although Ding Ning did not say much, it did not mean that he did not have any doubts about those big families who had stable sources of genetic potions.
After all, he had now preliminarily figured out the composition structure of the Descendants of God Organization. In order to solve the problem of research funds, the Descendants of God Organization adopted the method of raising funds from shareholders, which was similar to the operating model of a company.
The shareholders of the company paid a huge amount of research funds, and in return, they got stable genetic potions. Maybe those big families who had stable sources of genetic potions were one of the shareholders of the Descendants of God Organization?
