Chapter 93
Payne Rogers' pupils widened, and his emotions were extremely subtle and complicated, indescribable.
In his mind, the legendary man who defied death and fought against fate actually lost to love...
But the other party is worth nearly 100 billion MiGold, so there is a certain sense of rationality in the surprise.
Payne Rogers was a little conflicted.
He was moved by O's determination to break free from the shackles of fate without fear of life and death, and he was also worried about her safety.
Her death undoubtedly marked the fall of an era for him.
Even though the outside world has criticized her, Payne Rogers's admiration and respect have remained consistent.
Now that she's out of that deadly sport, Payne Rogers feels both relaxed and regretful.
Because, the era of O has come to an end...
Payne Rogers managed a strong smile and said, "That's good. You've finally escaped from a life where you don't know when you might die. This is good for you."
This was not entirely true for him.
Ning Ruochu saw the bitterness in his heart.
Racing is indeed a test.
During a mission, they were surrounded and blocked by more than a dozen vehicles. In such an emergency situation, Ning Ruochu felt that he had good skills, so he went to have some fun.
It's very exciting and she enjoys the speed and passion.
As for what the media reported.
——"O breaks through human limits again."
——"The Mysterious Racer Who Defeated Death".
——"A legend that emerged from the underworld".
It was indeed a move made by Ning Ruchu without regard for his life.
Because she knew that this was not her destiny.
The waiter came over with a small gift box and placed it on the table.
"Your matcha mille-feuille has been packaged."
Ning Ruochu glanced sideways and nodded, thanked him, and stood up.
She glanced at Payne Rogers, "I'm leaving now."
Payne Rogers stood up immediately, his legs accidentally hitting the table, and the coffee was spilled again, wetting his pants.
But he didn't care about all this. He watched Ning Ruchu leave with his body tense, afraid of missing even a minute.
When Ning Ruchu saw this look, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Is this the appeal of idols to fans?
She didn't understand and turned away.
The car was parked nearby, and I could see from a distance that something was wrong inside.
Ning Ruochu raised his eyebrows slightly and went in.
Just as the door was closed, a voice came from beside me: "Hello, young lady."
Ning Ruochu did not respond in a hurry. Through the rearview mirror, she clearly saw the person in the passenger seat, a familiar Chinese face.
It was the former "Mrs. Evan".
"It's only been ten years since you joined the Security Bureau, and you've already become a senior executive. Congratulations." Ning Ruchu's smiling voice rang out in the quiet carriage.
She had checked the files regarding the Killer Whale Squad.
It takes an average of fourteen years for all senior officials in the Security Bureau who have level nine authority to reach this level.
The speed at which the person next to her rose really shocked her.
Claude smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Thanks to the director's appreciation."
Ning Ruochu had no intention of being polite with him, "What do you two want to do by getting into my car?"
Claude looked serious and pointed at the co-pilot: "This is Agent Jiang from the Chinese District of the Security Bureau. We are just pretending to be a couple."
Ning Ruochu teased, "Agent Claude is so old, doesn't he have his own married life?"
Claude knew she was teasing him, so he was not annoyed. He also responded jokingly: "I will report to the director and ask him to give me enough vacation time so that I can go on a honeymoon with my future wife, if that wife really exists."
Ning Ruochu was amused by him.
She quickly put away her smile and said in a solemn and cold tone, "What's the matter?"
Claude also put away his playful mood and reported to her: "We have reached an agreement with your assistant and will have frequent dealings with Luo in the future."
Ling Chuan has been with Luo Zhouheng for many years and his personality is somewhat similar to his, so he is not so easy to impress.
Ning Ruochu frowned, pulled back her hand, took out a tissue from the locker next to her, wiped the sweat off her hands, and handed one to Ran Yunqing.
"Trust me, it'll be fine." She lowered her eyes, threw the soaked tissue into the trash bag, and asked firmly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Ran Yunqing crumpled the paper into a mess. She pursed her lips and said, "I'll think of other ways."
Ning Ruochu held his forehead and sighed, "Why are you so stubborn?"
She couldn't understand Ran Yunqing's persistence, perhaps because they had different values.
To her, the painting was just an ordinary thing, but Ran Yunqing regarded it as a treasure.
"Of course I have to keep the things you gave me carefully." Ran Yunqing responded sullenly.
She invested a different kind of emotion in those items.
Ning Ruochu blinked, supported her chin with her hand, and stared blankly ahead.
“So, I will never understand.”
……
early morning.
Ning Ruchu was watching cartoons without paying attention to the time and stayed up for too long, so he found it difficult to fall asleep.
I turned on the light of my cell phone and wanted to go downstairs to get some milk to help me sleep. When I went out, I found that there was light coming out from the gap of the door next door.
Ning Ruochu's eyes darkened slightly. He walked straight over and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened, and Ran Yunqing looked at the person in front of him and was startled: "Why are you still not asleep?"
Ning Ruochu tilted her head, and stared at her with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, with a clear meaning, as if she was raising her eyebrows and asking back -
Then why haven't you slept yet?
Ran Yunqing pursed his lips and said, "The number of 130,000 is too huge for me."
Traditional Chinese medicine is gradually declining, and even top doctors have few opportunities to see patients.
Ran Yunqing was raised by Qiao Weisong and their financial situation was not good.
Lingxin Hall was invested and established by Luo Zhouheng five years ago.
I heard from my master that this project has been in a loss-making stage, and it has only been able to survive until now thanks to Luo Zhouheng's regular financial replenishment.
The situations of other people were similar to hers. Ran Yunqing had no connections and had no idea where to get so much money.
Ning Ruochu shook her head slightly. "I'll have someone send you back tomorrow. After you get the painting, go directly to the An family to pay off the debt. And by the way, help me pick up the Miss An."
She turned around and said in a tone that would not brook refusal: "I'll go downstairs and get two cans of milk. Drink them and go to bed quickly."
Ran Yunqing stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
She was still standing there when Ning Ruchu brought up the milk.
Ning Ruchu knocked on her head, forcing her to come back to her senses, handed her the milk, and stood quietly at the door.
"I'll see you sleep before I leave."
Ran Yunqing pouted, somewhat unconvinced.
She tasted a small amount of sleeping pills in it, but she drank it all anyway and went back to bed and lay down obediently.
Ning Ruochu helped turn off the lights, gently closed the door, and left.
……
The next day.
When it was time for the daily acupuncture, Ran Yunqing came to Ning Ruchu's bedroom.
Ning Ruochu saw her coming and called Madam An to ask someone to pick up Miss An. The latter readily agreed and said that she could come anytime. She conveyed this to Ran Yunqing and said, "It's just a painting. I have plenty. I'll give you another one later. You don't have to do this."
Having said that, Ran Yunqing was still a little hesitant.
Ning Ruochu could only say: "The An family's situation is not as good as you think. The economic crisis is gradually approaching. Just protecting the old capital cannot support the entire family. They must let go of those precious items, but they can't help but gain some benefits."
The implication is that the An family will not be so understanding as to relax the deadline.
Ran Yunqing lowered his eyes and thought, but couldn't think of any other solution, so he had to give in.
"Ok."
Ning Ruochu nodded with satisfaction, "I'll go tell Butler Chen to get the helicopter ready."
……
Ran Yunqing landed directly at Lingxin Hall. Qiao Weisong, who rushed over after hearing the news, was very surprised.
"Why are you back? Xiao..." Qiao Weisong almost let the cat out of the bag and coughed lightly, "Doesn't Madam Luo need a long-term private physician?"
"I came back to get something." Ran Yunqing was in a low mood and not in good shape.
She walked lightly past Qiao Weisong, and the lonely atmosphere was also transmitted to her.
Qiao Weisong turned around, very confused.
He knew Ran Yunqing and had never seen her so dejected.
He looked listless and lifeless. Regular tests and devilish training wouldn't have caused him to be like this. And yet he still argued with me.
Qiao Weisong followed her silently, and when he saw her enter her room, he stopped at the door with great discretion and turned away.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, he turned around and found Ran Yunqing holding a painting in his hand.
Qiao Weisong pointed at the painting and asked, "Do you want to take the painting your apprentice gave you?"
It's really strange. Ran Yunqing has always cherished the painting and kept it carefully in a box. He would not take it out easily for fear that it would be bumped. Why would he suddenly take it away?
Ran Yunqing paused and raised his head slightly. His pair of crystal clear eyes were already filled with mist.
"Master, I have no choice..."
Qiao Weisong immediately stepped forward with concern, "What happened?"
Ran Yunqing recounted the whole story in a tearful voice, and Qiao Weisong frowned as he listened.
130,000 yuan, it is impossible for the master and disciple to collect the total amount within a month.
Qiao Weisong didn't want to make Ran Yunqing sad, but Ning Ruchu always helped whenever he was needed, so this time it was a bit unusual.
"Did your disciple really ask you to do this?" he asked again and again.
As long as the majority of shareholders support her, Ning Ruchu can continue to sit at the helm.
Otherwise, he will be driven out of office.
Ling Chuan took great pains to negotiate with Dong Zhaoyan for this very purpose.
Ning Ruochu thought about it and sent a message to Dong Qingran.
[Do you have time? Why don't we go out for dinner together? ]
The other party did not reply for a long time, so Ning Ruchu fell asleep.
I woke up an hour later and received a reply: [Okay, I'll treat you, you recommend a place.]
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, a black luxury car slowly stopped outside a three-star restaurant in the center of Beijing.
Morrison Ward immediately said, "The situation in Amelia is too chaotic, and the Hill family is also deeply involved. Claude and Vina will protect you inside."
He guessed that this was also the reason why Dong Qingran came to China with her mother.
"Your special operations team has ample funds." Ning Ruchu teased.
Morrison Ward said, "It's all about protecting the young lady."
Ning Ruochu chuckled and got out of the car.
Dong Qingran booked a private room, and the waiter at the door heard Ning Ruchu's name and took her over.
On the way, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
Ning Ruchu turned around and saw the "Evan couple" whom he had met before.
Or, should we call them Claude and Vina?
"The smoked salmon tastes too strong. My husband, as a true Afghan Free Federation man, doesn't like it."
Claude nodded at the waiter and glanced at Ning Ruchu behind her.
The waiter apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'll ask the kitchen to make you another one right away."
……
In the box, Dong Qingran was already waiting.
There were footsteps at the door, and it was the waiter leading Ning Ruchu over.
Dong Qingran immediately stood up, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and asked worriedly: "Sister Ning, are you okay?"
She didn't watch the news much. It was not until Davis Loffield said in the morning that something seemed to have happened to her new friend that Dong Qingran learned about the dispute between Ning Ruchu and the Ning family.
Ning Ruochu shook her head and said gently, "I'm fine."
This gentle and affectionate voice, like water, made Dong Qingran's heart soften, and she felt even more unwilling.
She was filled with anger, "The Ning family is really too much! They are your biological parents, how could they treat you like that?!"
Ning Ruochu patted her hands and his brows drooped.
"It's all in the past. I don't care anymore. After all, my life is already very good now. I don't dare to ask for anything more."
She gave a bitter smile, humble and helpless.
While feeling sorry for Ning Ruchu, Dong Qingran became even angrier.
She stood up for the injustice: "Those people in the Ning family are not worthy of you at all. You are ten thousand times better than them. They want to curry favor with you, but then drive you away. Who are they? Are they the puppet king who wants to depose the regent?"
"Oh, sorry, I said it wrong. The Ning family is of such high status that even the servants in the palace can order them to be killed!"
Ning Ruochu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ning Ruchu had deliberately gone to Miss Hill to curry her favor because of her identity, but now he found that she was so interesting, which made him glad for his decision.
"Okay, it's all over, let's eat first."
The two of them sat down and Dong Qingran called the waiter to take their order.
While waiting, she scrolled through her phone, glanced at it twice, and then threw it aside in annoyance.
"My fiancé, he asked about my whereabouts again."
He raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Wanyu who was standing next to Ning Ruchu.
"I think your new assistant has already introduced you to her. There is too much public opinion in the company, so it is better not to go there recently. She will stay with you in the future. If there is anything, I will let this assistant convey it to you."
Exposing Luo's internal secrets to outsiders like this?
Ning Ruochu didn't think Ling Chuan would be like this.
He must have other purposes in placing Jiang Wanyu next to her.
He was doubtful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
She smiled and nodded, "Secretary Ling just needs to focus on managing the company. I have Secretary Jiang here, so there won't be any problems."
Ning Ruochu tilted her head and smiled brightly: "I believe you."
These words touched Ling Chuan's heart.
He shook his head and waved his hand to signal Jiang Wanyu to leave.
After hearing the door close, he spoke: "I heard that Commander Ye left suddenly and she rejected my call. I can only contact her from inside the Shadow Pavilion."
Night moon?
Ning Ruochu was stunned for a moment, then instantly awakened.
She watched the surveillance video after the villa was broken into that day.
