Chapter 57 - 57 Fifty-seven scary

Chapter 57: Fifty-seven, scary Chapter 57: Fifty-seven, scary “Wait a moment!” Zhou Xiaofang caught up with Song Yan Ning and the others, offering the keys to them again, “You should stay at my place. It’s not far from here, and if you’re not familiar with Beijing, I can take you there.”

“Really, it’s not necessary, we have a place to stay,” Yang Lisheng smiled and shook his head. That Mr. Liu had kicked them out of the hotel, he must be a tough cookie, and they didn’t want to involve innocent people.

“But…” Zhou Xiaofang wanted to argue further.

“Sister, thank you for your kindness, this is for you, it can bring you peace,” Song Yan Ning pulled out a protective jade pendant that she had made earlier and handed it to Zhou Xiaofang. She had a good impression of Zhou Xiaofang and had conveniently made two extra jade pendants, so giving her one was like returning the favor. It wasn’t something just anyone would do, trying to help them despite knowing the dangers.

“No, how can I accept your thing?” Zhou Xiaofang waved her hands to refuse.

“Sister, please take it and remember to wear it, it can bring you peace,” Song Yan Ning stuffed the protective jade pendant into Zhou Xiaofang’s hands, flashing her a playful smile.

“Xiaofang, do you still want to go to work?!” Chen Ying’s displeased voice came from behind.

“I’ll be right there,” Zhou Xiaofang responded and turned back, attempting to return the protective jade pendant to Song Yan Ning, but when she looked up, Song Yan Ning and the others had already left. She wanted to follow them, but hearing Chen Ying’s voice again, she could only sigh helplessly and return to the hotel. She hoped they would be safe.

Under the streetlights, the three shadows stretched and slowly merged into one.

“Where are we going now?” Li Meixiang looked towards Yang Lisheng.

“When we came, I saw there was a park not far from here, we can make do there for the night,” Yang Lisheng sighed helplessly. Right now, he really didn’t know what else to do; it was too late to disturb others.

“But Xiao Ning…” Li Meixiang looked at Song Yan Ning with concern. The dew is heavy in the park, and Xiao Ning is still young; she definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“Grandma, I’m fine. Let’s just stay at the park. I’ve never slept in a park before,” Song Yan Ning grabbed Li Meixiang’s hand, hopping and skipping towards the direction of the park.

Watching Song Yan Ning’s cheerful figure, Yang Lisheng sighed inside. He now somewhat regretted not having agreed to let Xinxin stay in the new house earlier, so that Xiao Ning wouldn’t have to suffer with them. As long as Xiao Ning was fine, he could disregard everything else.

Song Yan Ning then heard rustling footsteps from a distance, a glint of coldness flickered in her eyes. They were coming!

“Grandpa, Grandma, I left something at the hotel, what should I do?” Song Yan Ning stopped, looking anxiously at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang.

“Perhaps we should go back and get it,” Li Meixiang looked at Yang Lisheng. Xiao Ning was so anxious; she must really like that thing.

“Mm,” Yang Lisheng nodded.

“But I’m so tired, I can’t walk anymore,” Song Yan Ning squatted on the ground, looking pitifully at the two.

“Then I’ll go back and get it,” said Li Meixiang. With her partner keeping Xiao Ning company, she was more at ease, and the hotel wasn’t too far away.

“Grandpa, Grandma, you both go get it, I have a stomach ache, I can’t take it, I can’t hold it, I’m going over there to use the restroom,” Song Yan Ning said with a sad face, clutching her stomach and running towards the side of the road.

“Xiao Ning, wait for us!” Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang followed her. How could they rest easy leaving Xiao Ning alone here?

But after chasing her for a few steps, they noticed Song Yan Ning had disappeared.

“Where did this child run off to? It’s so worrying, Xiao Ning, where are you? Xiao Ning!” Li Meixiang was so anxious she was about to cry. Xiao Ning was her life, if anything happened to her, she really wouldn’t be able to go on.

“Don’t panic, let’s search together; Xiao Ning must be nearby,” Yang Lisheng was also anxious.

“Boss is really something, capturing two old ones and a little one, and sending so many of us,” Zhao Kun took a deep drag of his cigarette and flicked the butt away with a snap of his fingers.

“Stop complaining, let’s get this over with so we can go back to sleep, my little cutie is waiting for me at home,” Wang Dabao snickered with a lewd grin, his meaning clear without saying it outright.

“If those two grandparents had just agreed to sell the jade to the Boss, wouldn’t all this have been unnecessary?”

“Some people just need to learn their lesson.”

“Is that so?” A cold voice suddenly rang out.

The four men chatting were startled.

“Who’s there? Come out!” Zhao Kun looked around sharply and demanded.

Song Yan Ning stepped out from the shadows, looking at the four men coldly.

Seeing that it was a child, all four men showed surprise. Whose kid is this, wandering around outside in the middle of the night?

“Are you the men sent by Liu Xin?” Song Yan Ning eyed the four, her gaze filled with fathomless chill, not at all characteristic of a seven-year-old child.

“How do you know?” Wang Dabao stared at Song Yan Ning in amazement. As he locked eyes with her, an inexplicable chill rose up his back. Is this really just a child?

“Because I’m the one you’re trying to capture,” Song Yan Ning said with her arms casually crossed, wearing an innocent smile. She needed to resolve this quickly; her grandparents must be so worried by now.

Seeing Song Yan Ning’s innocent smile made Wang Dabao and his companions involuntarily shiver.

“How did you know we were coming to get you?” asked Zhao Kun, taking a step back as he spoke. This child made him feel dangerous; he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“Want to know? I’m just not going to tell you.” Song Yan Ning waved her hand, a fragrant scent dispersed.

Zhao Kun and his companions smelled the fragrance and quickly held their breath in alert, but it was too late. They soon felt an intense pain rising from within their bodies, causing them excruciating agony.

“What did you just sprinkle?” Wang Dabao and the others looked at Song Yan Ning, their eyes filled with unconcealed terror.

“Enjoy it; you’re going to love it,” Song Yan Ning said with a wicked smile, flicking her fingers and shooting pebbles at them, hitting their acupoints. She wasn’t someone to be trifled with; since they had provoked her, naturally they had to pay a price. And then there was Liu Xin; once she had taken care of her grandparents, it was time to meet him.

“Xiao Ning, where are you? Please don’t scare Grandma,” Li Meixiang was calling out while wiping away tears.

“Grandma! I’m here,” Song Yan Ning ran out from the alley and threw herself at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang.

Li Meixiang hugged Song Yan Ning tightly, and her heart finally settled, “Where did you go? Your grandparents were terrified.”

“Grandma! Grandpa! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to worry you,” Song Yan Ning apologized with a guilty face. She knew that her grandparents must have been worried, but she couldn’t let anyone hurt them.
