Chapter 81 You Have to Accept Your Fate

The man searched the first floor for a long time but found nothing, so he tiptoed up to the second floor.

As soon as I stepped onto the last flight of stairs, the lights in the entire building shone as if the daylight had come on!

He suddenly felt like a mouse under the sunlight, panicked and at a loss.

Upon closer inspection, he saw a person standing not far away, coldly scrutinizing him, and a chill ran down his spine!
Jian Ning held a straight wooden stick in her hand, the bottom of which was clearly a broom made of coconut fiber.

She held the sturdy broomstick and tapped it against the palm of her other hand, making a soft "snap, snap" sound.

The sound was very soft, yet it was like a death knell, slowly and steadily striking the man's heartstrings.

The man's feet seemed glued to the ground, unable to move.

He explained in a trembling voice, "I... I just wanted to steal some money, I didn't mean any harm."

Jian Ning was even angrier when she heard this. It was understandable that he wanted to steal Su Shijian's collection of materials, but he actually wanted to steal her money!

Guilty plus one.

She gritted her teeth: "Watch how I beat this dog when it's down!"

She ran over quickly, raised the wooden stick, and lashed it at the man.

The man's feet seemed to finally be free. He ran downstairs in a panic, but he couldn't dodge the beatings. His back bones were hit from the left and right. The solid wooden sticks hitting his body, especially his bones, were indescribably painful.

"I won't do it again, I'll never do it again!" the man begged as he fled.

Jian Ning showed no mercy and lashed out fiercely.

When the man entered the yard, it was dark and he didn't know which way to go. Now that he came out, he was panicked and didn't know where to go. He accidentally fell into the self-flowing stream, slipped and fell several times, and climbed out in a very disheveled state.

Jian Ning chased the man several hundred meters out of the yard before stopping. Watching the man's disheveled figure flee, she put the broom down, propped her elbow on the broom handle, and roared, "If you dare come again, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

The threat carries a stronger connotation; after all, beating someone up is much more interesting than killing them.

She hit him once, and the man would yell loudly. He yelled every time she hit him, which was quite funny, like a stress-relieving toy screaming chicken.

However, she still preferred the peaceful and tranquil environment of the mountain resort.

Jian Ning figured that since there was an electric fence on the wall, these people wouldn't dare climb it, so they would all climb in through the main gate.

We still need to add an electric fence around the top of the gate, so no one can climb over it and get in; anyone who tries will be electrocuted.

Having come up with the idea, Jian Ning immediately messaged the owner of the fence she had previously worked with early the next morning, asking if he could do it.

Even if you can't do something yourself, you can find friends who can.

The boss agreed and even offered a relatively favorable price.

Jian Ning agreed, requesting immediate on-site installation.

It's a fool not to make money when the other party is very fast.

The boss had also made this gate before, so he had all the dimensions and other information. He immediately brought his tools and workers to start construction this morning.

The electric grid on top of the gate was installed in just one morning.

The main gate of Huayue Villa is retractable and is usually kept closed. People generally enter through the side gate on the right, which is also equipped with an electric fence.

Finally, after confirming that there were no problems with the power supply, Jian Ning settled the payment on the spot.

After that, no one dared to climb in through the gate anymore.

After the construction team left, Jian Ning checked the time; it was almost noon.

Just then, the person she had arranged to meet at the hot pot restaurant yesterday called her.

"Hello, approximately when will you arrive?"

Jian Ning replied, "In half an hour."

"Okay, then we'll go to the store and wait for you in a little while. You've come all this way and are still willing to help us, so this meal is on us. You absolutely have to come!"

Jian Ning said, "Definitely!"

The Su family father and son had meticulously set a trap for her, so how could she not keep the appointment?

After hanging up the phone, Jian Ning went home and changed into a smart casual outfit, her hair tied into a tight braid and curled into a ball.

Her pants and clothes had no drawstrings, ensuring easy movement should she need to take action. She sent Chen Qian a message and prepared to leave.

Just then, my phone chimed with a new text message notification.

Do not keep your appointment at noon; it may be dangerous.

Jian Ning looked at the text message. It was obvious that the other party knew who she was and what the Su family father and son wanted to do to her.

But who could this person be?

Xiao Heqi? Impossible. Xiao Li? Also unlikely.

The two brothers had no reason to send her a text message from an unknown number.

Jian Ning could only reply to the other party.

【Who are you? 】

Although, I didn't expect to get an answer.

She put her phone in her pocket and headed to the hot pot restaurant.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant and saw the woman waiting there.

As soon as Jian Ning got out of the car, the other party came to greet her.

"You must be the kind person who's here to help us speak out, Miss Jane? Please, please come in."

Jian Ning asked, "Are you Li Lin's mother?"

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, I am Li Lin's mother. Li Lin is waiting for you inside."

Jian Ning saw no sadness on her face for her daughter's plight; she greeted her as if she were welcoming a god of wealth.

With the calico cat's warning, Jian Ning knew exactly what was going to happen next.

She just wanted to confirm one thing.

Upon entering the hot pot restaurant, it was completely empty except for the owner, who was there to serve customers.

In a private room on the left side of the first floor, a girl sat uneasily in a chair, her whole body trembling slightly. When she saw Jian Ning, her eyes showed nervousness.

Li Lin's mother placed one hand on Li Lin's back and gestured to Jian Ning with the other, "Miss Jian, please sit down. What would you like to eat?"

Jian Ning held the menu in her hand, and actually, invisible green light emanated from her fingertips, which touched Li Lin.

A few seconds later, her gaze darkened slightly as she confirmed that the other person really did have cancer.

But why would she join forces with Su Shijian to set a trap for her when Su Shijian had ruined the rest of her life?

"Miss Jane, I..."

Li Lin had just opened her mouth when her mother interrupted her.

"Linlin, there's no rush to say anything now. Let's eat and talk slowly after we order."

Li Lin lowered her head and stopped talking.

After Jian Ning ordered the food, Li Lin's mother asked the restaurant owner to prepare it.

Li Lin then said, "Mom, I need to go to the restroom. Will you come with me?"

"You're such a grown-up, and you still need your mother to go with you." The woman complained, then looked at Jian Ning with a smile: "Miss Jian, please excuse me, I'll go with the child to the restroom."

Jian Ning nodded, and said with a forced smile, "Okay."

In the restroom of the hot pot restaurant.

Li Lin frowned: "Mom, I always feel that this is not a good thing."

The woman earnestly advised, "What's wrong with this? Your illness is incurable and has been a burden on your family for so long. Your brother is about to take the postgraduate entrance exam. With Dean Su's help, passing the exam won't be a problem. Plus, Dean Su will give you compensation of five million."

Li Lin tried to reason with him: "But wasn't I harmed by him in the first place? Mom, he's trying to help us out of kindness, we can't..."

The woman slapped her arm, her voice turning sharp: "No? What do you mean no! Your life is what it is, you have to accept it!"
