CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164: LIN YUANYANG BEAT MY COUSIN!

Sympathize with an assassin?

Are you out of your mind?

Lin Yuanyang was so exasperated he couldn’t be bothered to respond to her, he opened the car door and got out.

Bai Xiaotang was about to remind Sister Ning not to get out, but feared it would cause real trouble for Sister Ning.

She got out as well.

The two stood by the car watching, not advancing forward.

Ji Ning tormented the assassin repeatedly until he finally gave in, speaking in broken phrases, "I...I am...sent by the Lin Family..."

The Lin Family?

Ji Ning wasn’t surprised; from Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang’s words, she had already guessed the relationship between Lin Yuanyang and the Lin Family wasn’t good.

She didn’t expect it would escalate to a life-threatening situation.

Lin Yuanyang clenched his fist tightly, unable to hold back his hatred.

It’s Li Meifang, it must be Li Meifang!

Ji Ning looked at the man on the ground, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and kicked him hard. He spat blood and lay on the ground like mud, but Ji Ning didn’t let him go, stepping on his injured arm, expressionless, asking, "Is it really the Lin Family?"

The man’s heart was terrified, the fear in his eyes reaching its peak.

"I... I say... I say... it’s... the Bai Family..."

"You’re lying!" Bai Xiaotang, who initially sympathized with Lin Yuanyang, instantly refuted loudly when she heard the assassin claim her own family hired him to kill Lin Yuanyang.

"The Bai Family ordered you to kill Lin Yuanyang?" Ji Ning asked with a half-smile, applying more pressure with her foot.

The man screamed, "I say—I say—not to kill Lin Yuanyang, but to injure Bai Xiaotang so she can’t leave Beijing!"

"But your bullet was aimed at Lin Yuanyang."

"The Bai Family instructed me to do so, they wanted to frame the Lin Family. To create a rift between Miss Bai and Young Master Lin."

The man endured the pain and divulged everything he knew.

Bai Xiaotang found it hard to accept, biting her lip fiercely, her nails digging into her palms.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses, analyzing calmly, "This can’t be Brother Yu Sen’s order."

Bai Xiaotang suddenly looked at him, her eyes red. Lin Yuanyang continued, "If Brother Yu Sen wanted to force you back to Beijing, he wouldn’t use a method that would harm you."

Bai Xiaotang also didn’t believe her brother ordered it; the person in her mind was someone else, but she didn’t want to believe it.

"Why... why did she do it? Is it something I did wrong?" Bai Xiaotang stared blankly ahead, asking softly.

Watching her like this, Lin Yuanyang felt somewhat uncomfortable, "Maybe you’ve grown too fast outside, and it scares her."

"Scared? She was the one who made me leave, and now she wants me back. How can she decide my life?" Bai Xiaotang couldn’t hold back any longer and questioned loudly.

Why, even Lin Yuanyang had no answer.

Chang Ru had always given an uncomfortable feeling since they were young.

Sometimes, even he couldn’t figure out her true motives.

Ji Ning dropped the man, stepped back, glanced at the indignant Bai Xiaotang, and said calmly, "If you don’t understand, ask directly."

She wasn’t someone who would endure grievances without retaliation, anyone who dared to provoke her would face her wrath tenfold!

Anger flashed through Ji Ning’s eyes.

This Chang Ru really angered her!

Meanwhile,

People from the Eastern Camp still in the game noticed that after "Daddy Ning" captured the camp, he stood still.

They tried messaging him but received no response, realizing he was probably offline.

"Blooming Glories" from the Eastern Camp suggested to their leader: "Boss, ’Daddy Ning’ hasn’t moved for a long time, maybe something really came up. We might as well dissolve the alliance and take him out directly?"

"Wushuang" pondered for a while: "This guy is technically good, we should avoid making an enemy. Let’s wait a bit."

This waiting lasted 20 minutes, during which other camp members arrived, and the Southern Camp naturally opened fire.

Unexpectedly, someone from the Western Camp used a betrayal tool and started shooting at "Daddy Ning."

The developments were so fast that the five members of the Eastern Camp didn’t have time to react before "Daddy Ning" was already offline.

"Wushuang" typed a question mark on the world channel.

"Green Wind’s Wings" from the Western Camp immediately replied, "I hate AFK dogs the most!"

"Wushuang" was speechless.

Just then, a sudden urgent knocking was heard from outside the door.

An anxious young boy entered: "Second Brother, Cousin was beaten by Lin Yuanyang!"

The newcomer was Gu Family’s young master, Gu Sili. The man in front of him was Gu Family’s second young master, Gu Shuangcheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuangcheng raised an eyebrow, finding it hard to believe.

Could the sickly Lin Family member beat Cao Zongming? The roles seemed reversed.

Gu Sili, seeing Gu Shuangcheng’s disbelief, showed him photos on his phone of Cao Zongming and some classmates in the hospital.

Gu Shuangcheng was half-convinced, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where’s Lin Yuanyang?"

***

To avoid alerting the enemy, Ji Ning and the others gave simple first aid to the injured driver and assassin in the black sedan and stuffed them into the Bai family car.

The Bai family car was a seven-seat SUV. Without using the last two seats, the trunk was spacious enough to fit two men easily.

Ji Ning used the assassin’s phone to send a message to the mastermind:

[Car damaged, need a replacement.]

[Location]

They quickly received a call, Ji Ning calmly pressed the answer and speaker button, hearing a hoarse male voice.

"How’s Bai Xiaotang?"

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, suddenly uttering an unfamiliar male voice, "Severely unconscious! Needs immediate hospital assistance."

"What about the young master of the Lin Family?"

"Also unconscious. Before Miss passed out, I claimed to be with the Lin Family."

The man’s voice on the other end grew cheerful: "Good. The new car will arrive shortly!"

In this situation, calling an ambulance was out of the question.

If outsiders saw the bullet marks, they would need to silence witnesses. The man on the phone didn’t even mention an ambulance.

Shortly after hanging up, cars finally began passing by on the highway.

To cover up the shooting, Ji Ning smashed a piece of the SUV’s windshield and drove it behind the black sedan, making it look like a rear-end collision.

Several drivers stopped, rolled down their windows, asking Ji Ning if she needed help.

Ji Ning waved them off.

After rejecting a dozen enthusiastic drivers, a dark blue van stopped by the road.

Ji Ning knew the person had arrived.

Someone got out of the car, startling Bai Xiaotang hiding inside, almost making her scream.

Aunt Zeng...

Why was she here?

Bai Xiaotang’s mind was in turmoil.

Aunt Zeng on the roadside was also in a panic, thinking Ji Ning could protect Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang, so she hadn’t warned them in advance.

She didn’t expect him to succeed, injuring Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang to the point of unconsciousness?

When she heard the message, she was so frightened she nearly had a heart attack.

She hurriedly drove the family’s van here.

The sight in front of her was shocking, the cars in front were deformed from the crash.

What if her young miss...?

Aunt Zeng’s legs were weak, she stumbled across the road to the car, shouting, "Young Miss... Young Miss..."

But the car’s glass was covered with a special film to prevent prying eyes, allowing those inside to see out, but not for outsiders to see in.

Bai Xiaotang met Aunt Zeng’s worried gaze through the glass.

The concern on Aunt Zeng’s face was real, Bai Xiaotang’s emotions were complicated.

If even Aunt Zeng betrayed her, she wouldn’t know who to trust in the future.

Bai Xiaotang bit her lip and pressed the car window button...
