Cheng Hu and the others patted their chests and promised that they would complete the task with quality and quantity guaranteed.
But after Ding Ning told them to feed the crocodile Kaka and the black panther Dahei every day, the expressions on their faces became extremely interesting.
They had thought that they had understood Ding Ning, the boss, well enough, but now they realized that they had never seen through him.
In particular, Kaka the crocodile and Big Black the black panther were squatting on the ground, obediently listening to Ding Ning's arrangements like primary school students. Their spirituality made them admire Ding Ning even more.
Ding Ning instructed Cheng Hu and the other two to knock out the Hong Kong gangsters in the underground cave and throw them to a remote place. Then he told them to keep an eye on Yun Sihai, and then he took Ding Luoxue straight to the school.
In the Longteng Group, Ding Qianlie listened to Lisa's report expressionlessly.
"Chairman, the assassin who tried to assassinate Young Master last time has been investigated and compared by the members of Skynet. We've locked onto the suspect, but …"
Lisa looked at Ding Qianlie uneasily, wanting to say something but stopping on second thought.
"But what? Speak! "
Ding Qianlie frowned slightly and glanced at Lisa with her beautiful eyes emotionlessly.
Li Sha moved her lips twice. Under Ding Qianlie's intense gaze, she braced herself and said, "That killer is a Man of Sacrifice raised by Su Xu, the Second Young Master of the Su Family in Yan Jing. His name is Liu Nanxiong. Since Su Xu saw Murong Yanran five years ago, he swore that he would not marry anyone but her and regarded her as his exclusive property. In recent years, all the men of the opposite sex who got close to Murong Yanran were killed by the Men of Sacrifice he sent."
"Bang!"
Ding Qianlie slammed the table hard, raised her eyebrows, and said through gritted teeth with killing intent in her beautiful eyes, "Su Xu is really audacious. He even dared to touch my brother. He is really courting death."
"Chairman, Su Xu is Madam after all …"
Lisa knew that Ding Qianlie was really angry and was afraid that she would do something impulsive in anger, so she cautiously reminded her.
Ding Qianlie closed her eyes, and her chest rose and fell rapidly. After a long time, she calmed down, and her beautiful eyes regained their usual calmness. She waved her hand tiredly and said, "You can leave. I need some time alone. Don't let anyone come in and disturb me."
"Yes, Chairman!"
Lisa glanced at her worriedly. Her lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything and quietly retreated.
"Mom, we've found the killer from last time. He's from the Su family. It should be Su Xu."
As soon as Lisa went out, Ding Qianlie took out a mobile phone, turned it on, and dialed a number. Her voice trembled with anger.
"Does he know Ning 'er's identity?"
The pleasant voice of the woman on the other end of the phone clearly had a violent emotional fluctuation, and the monstrous anger could be felt through the phone.
"That's not it, it should be a coincidence …"
Ding Qianlie told him what had happened in detail and said with a frown, "This time my brother was saved by Knife Scar. I'm afraid that Su Xu won't let it go. Should I …"
"There's no need for that. You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it. He's just a prodigal. He really thinks he's a mission. Anyone who dares to touch my son will have to pay the price."
The female voice on the other end of the phone returned to its usual coldness, and her tone was filled with unquestionable dominance.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. But if it happens again, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands."
Ding Qianlie was indignant. She knew that her godmother still cared about family ties, so she said unwillingly.
"What's wrong with you, child? Have you forgotten your mother after finding a husband? "
The woman teased her mischievously.
"Mom … what are you talking about!"
The business goddess, who had always been cold, blushed and said coquettishly. If someone saw her acting like a little girl, they would definitely be shocked.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Believe me, I'll handle it well. If it happens again, I won't be polite, even if you don't tell me. After all, Ning 'er is my son."
The woman paused and said hesitantly, "Qianlie, find a chance to reconcile with Ning 'er. Why is this child different from his father at all? He attracts bees and butterflies all day long. You have to keep a close eye on him."
"Mom … I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up!"
Ding Qianlie rebuked her shyly and hurriedly hung up the phone, her face burning.
In a courtyard house with three exits and three entrances in Yan Jing, a woman as beautiful as a fairy listened to the sound of the phone being hung up and shook her head with a smile. "This girl seems to really like Ning 'er, which is a good thing."
But when she thought that her beloved son almost died tragically, the smile on the woman's face disappeared little by little, and a chilling cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Su Xu, I hope it's just an accident this time. If I find out that you deliberately target Ning 'er, don't blame me for ignoring family ties."
In the last entrance of the courtyard house, an old man with gray hair was lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun. An old-fashioned radio was playing the Peking Opera Shajiabang in front of his feet.
A middle-aged man with glasses was fanning the old man in the yard. Seeing the woman coming from afar, he nodded with a smile.
A doctor in a white coat and two serious-looking nurses were sitting in the yard. They seemed to glance at the old man inadvertently, but in fact, they had been paying attention to his physical condition.
The old man was skinny, in his eighties or nineties, with a wrinkled face. He wore big pants, a white vest, and cloth shoes. With his eyes closed, he hummed along with the radio in a low voice.
"The morning glow is reflected on Yangcheng Lake, the reed flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrant willows are lined up. With the hands of the working people, the beautiful Jiangnan land of fish and rice has been painted. The good land of the motherland will not be given up, and the Japanese invaders will not be allowed to act wildly! He was wounded in the battle and left the battlefield. He recuperated in Shajiabang. He missed his comrades and the chief for half a month, but I don't know where they are. The soldiers and civilians are ready to "sweep up", and when will they wield their sabers to kill the jackals and wolves! The wounded hope to be healthy day and night … "
"Great-grandfather, I'm here to see you!"
The woman stood quietly aside until the old man's throat was a little dry. When he took the teacup from the personal secretary and drank some tea, she came forward to greet him.
"Girl, you're here!"
With the help of two nurses, the old man sat up shakily and showed a kind smile.
"Yes, Great-grandfather, how are you recently?"
The woman showed a sweet smile and squatted in front of the old man, gently massaging his legs.
The old man looked at her dotingly. "Still the same, I don't have many days left to live!"
"Great-grandfather, your body is good, don't say such inauspicious words."
The woman showed a coquettish look like a little girl.
"Hehe, I know my own body. Great-grandfather is already ninety-eight years old, and I don't have many days left. Only you have the heart to take the time to visit an old man like me."
The old man smiled optimistically, looking calm and relaxed.
The woman's expression darkened, and then she smiled. "Old man, don't say such depressing words. With your mentality, it won't be a problem to live for another twenty to thirty years."
"What's the point of living for so long? Old people who don't die are thieves, lest they are hated by people and ghosts. The earlier you leave, the earlier you can accompany your great-grandmother. "
The old man's murky eyes flashed with a touch of pity. "But Great-grandfather can't bear to part with you. After suffering for so many years, I won't be satisfied if I don't see you live a good life."
The woman's eyes were red, but she showed a sweet smile. "So, Great-grandfather, you must live for a few more decades and see me live a good life."
The old man waved his hand. The personal secretary and the medical staff knew that the old man wanted to talk to the woman alone, so they left on their own. However, they didn't dare to go far and waited in the second courtyard in case something unexpected happened.
"Girl, did those little bastards bully you again?"
The old man's dim old eyes flashed with wisdom.
"No … no, who can bully me? It's good enough that I don't bully others."
The woman lowered her head, suppressed the sorrow in her heart, and said with a forced smile.
The old man took the woman's hand with pity and patted it. "While I'm still alive, I can still make decisions for you. If anyone bullies you, just tell Great-grandfather. When Great-grandfather is gone, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Great-grandfather, no, no one bullied me. This time I came to ask you, the Bai family's Old Master will celebrate his 100th birthday next month. Do you want to go and celebrate?"
Facing the only old man who loved her in the whole family, the woman suppressed the sorrow in her heart and said with a smile.
"Old Master Bai is really long-lived. He is already a hundred years old. Ah, I want to see his old friend, but … forget it, it's not convenient for me to go. You go on behalf of him."
The old man showed a nostalgic expression on his face. He shook his head with some embarrassment and said with a wry smile, "On my 90th birthday, Old Master Bai gave me Wang Xizhi's cursive Peace Invitation as a birthday gift. This time it's his 100th birthday, I can't give him a small gift in return. That old guy likes to be picky."
"Great-grandfather, there is a Master of the Divine Burin in Ninghai, and his jade carvings are of uncanny workmanship, so I plan to visit him in Ninghai and ask him to prepare a birthday gift for the Qiao family's Old Master, but you know I can't leave Yan Jing …"
The woman's eyes flashed with slyness, and she took the opportunity to say this.
The old man suddenly became interested. "Master of the Divine Burin? The jade carving master who sold at a sky-high price at the auction? "
"Great-grandfather has also heard of it," the woman asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have, but I don't know if it's true or not. Girl, I heard that many people are looking for the mysterious Master of the Divine Burin, but so far no one knows his identity. Can you find him in Ninghai?"
The old man seemed to be very interested in the Master of the Divine Burin and paid special attention to this news.
"Look, this is the work of the Master of the Divine Burin. I specially gave it to you, grandpa. Others can't find him, but I have a friend who knows him. As long as I go to Ninghai, I promise I can ask him to do it."
The woman took out a jade carving ornament from her backpack as if presenting a treasure. If Ding Ning was here, he would definitely recognize it. It was the jade carving moon lion that sold at the highest price of 2.3 billion at the auction.
"Moon lion!"
The old man's eyes brightened, and he carefully placed it on his lap, carefully appreciating it. After a long time, he praised, "He deserves his reputation. This is indeed the work of the Master of the Divine Burin. This carving skill is really uncanny, as if it was made by nature. There is no trace of artificial carving at all. It can definitely be regarded as a famous work handed down from generation to generation. No wonder it can be sold at a sky-high price. Its artistic value far exceeds its actual value."
There was a trace of pride in the woman's eyes. She almost couldn't help telling the old man, "The Master of the Divine Burin is my son, your great-great-grandson."
But she finally held back. After all, Ding Ning's safety was the first priority. Great-grandfather was reliable, but he was now suffering from all kinds of illnesses and had the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Once he became muddle-headed and made a slip of the tongue, it would undoubtedly bring big trouble to Ding Ning.
"Great-grandfather, this moon lion is not only good at carving, but the most amazing thing is that this moon lion can emit a hazy green light under the moonlight. This lion seems to be alive, holding the divine knife in its mouth. It's so vivid."
"Oh, it's so magical. I must take a good look tonight, haha."
