Chapter 84 This is the other party's warning

Even if Su Shijian had her legs broken, it couldn't break her innate pride that refused to submit to evil.

Atao walked over and handed Jian Ning a cup of freshly brewed hot tea with both hands. "She's not feeling well, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of her now that she's in Beicheng. I'll come and pick her up myself once everything is settled."

Jian Ning replied, "Okay."

It was already dark when she arrived, and now it's even darker.

She couldn't leave today, and there were no hotels around, so Wenli offered her a place to stay for the night.

The room had been prepared in advance. It wasn't a luxurious room, but it was very clean and well-prepared. The bedding was washed with laundry detergent and smelled of sunshine.

After dinner, Jian Ning cleaned herself up with a cleansing spell and went to bed.

Just like in the mountain villa, all you can see when you look out the window is pitch black.

The atmosphere was comfortable, with the occasional chirping of an unknown bird, its voice carried far away.

She was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when her phone rang.

Jian Ning looked down and saw that it was a call from Xiao Li. She swiped to the right to answer it.

"Ningning, aren't you home today?"

Jian Ning replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xiao Li said, "I came to find you, but there was no response when I rang the doorbell. Only your dog barked at me at the front door, so I thought you might not be home."

Even through the phone, Jian Ning could hear the Border Collie's furious cursing.

"Woof~" You idiot, stop pressing that button! Our owner isn't home. It's so noisy, we all want to go to sleep.

Jian Ning didn't have time to say goodbye to these little guys before she left, but it seems they didn't have any trouble adjusting.

She said, "I'm out, I won't be back tonight, I'll be back tomorrow. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Li said in a low voice, "I just wanted to come see you, Ningning. Who did you watch the moon with last night?"

Jian Ning didn't react for a moment. The word "moon" floated through her mind for several seconds before she realized that Wen Li had asked her to post the Weibo.

She chuckled, "I didn't look at the moon, it was just a random Weibo post."

Xiao Li asked cautiously, "Where are you? Can I come find you tonight?"

Thinking about the distance to Beicheng, Jian Ning said, "I'm afraid it won't work; it's a bit far from Beicheng."

Xiao Li stood at the dark entrance of Huayue Villa, his eyes aimlessly staring at his toes, and asked, "There's a new vegetable variety exhibition and promotion event the week after next. I know you're interested in these things, so I got two tickets. Would you like to go and take a look?"

“Sure.” Jian Ning was genuinely interested in this.

She had never attended this type of exhibition before. She could go and see what delicious vegetables were available, and if she didn't have any yet, she could buy some and try growing them herself.

Xiao Li instantly shook off his previous gloom and became happy: "Ningning, then it's settled."

Jian Ning replied, "Yes, it's getting late. You should go back too, don't wait at the door."

On the other end of the phone, the little Border Collie was swearing quite rudely.

I wonder how many times Xiao Li rang the doorbell so persistently that he angered the dog to this extent.

However, when she gets back, she'll still have to give the Border Collie a good talking-to. The puppy is so cute; how can it swear?

Although Xiao Li was reluctant to hang up, he saw that it was indeed getting late. "Okay, then you should get some rest. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li left through the main gate and returned to his car.

The driver said, "Young master, Madam says she needs to speak with you."

Xiao Li couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huayue Villa again. It was pitch black inside, with only the faint sound of dogs barking. He looked away and said, "Okay, let's go back."

The ride-hailing car arrived on time the next day.

Wenli didn't have much stuff; she packed just one suitcase and put the wheelchair in the trunk.

Jian Ning and Wen Li both sat in the back row.

Atao prepared a lot of food for them to take and eat on the road.

The two chatted about everyday things along the way, and time flew by.

We arrived at Huayue Villa around dusk.

Jian Ning easily carried Wen Li in a princess carry, placing her in a wheelchair and pushing her into Huayue Villa.

"You're so thin, I thought you wouldn't be able to carry me." Wenli didn't expect Jian Ning to have such strength, and her face turned red for no reason when she was picked up in a princess carry.

Jian Ning joked, "I could carry ten more of you."

Wenli was amused.

Along the way, because there were outsiders present, the two avoided talking about Su Shijian and chatted about other things. Wenli thus learned more about her, and their relationship became much closer than it had been yesterday. Just as Jian Ning pushed Wenli into the villa, the Border Collie and the Alaskan Malamute came galloping over from afar.

Jian Ning quickly asked, "Lily, are you afraid of dogs?"

Wenli shook her head and laughed, "I'm not afraid. I quite like dogs. I used to have an Alaskan Malamute."

However, a dog's lifespan is relatively short compared to that of a human.

After she developed health problems, her dog stayed with her for several more years before passing away before her.

Seeing the Alaskan Malamute running towards her at that moment was like seeing countless scenes from her memory flash back and forth between reality and memory.

Alaska pounced on Jian Ning, using his head to grip her knees, grinning widely.

Then, they circled around Wenli, looking at her and sniffing her.

Wenli asked, "Can I touch it?"

Jian Ning replied, "Yes, that's fine. They don't bite."

Wenli then reached out and patted the Alaskan Malamute's head, asking, "What's its name?"

Jian Ning said, "Nao Nao is my friend's dog. It's too noisy, so it's temporarily being fostered here with me."

"Nao Nao." Wenli repeated the dog's name, stroking the Alaskan Malamute's head, and gently called out, "Nao Nao, you're such a good boy."

The Alaskan Malamute tilted its head back, squinted comfortably, and enjoyed the human's caresses.

The little Border Collie excitedly rubbed against Jian Ning, and didn't forget to ask her questions.

"Woof~" Master, where did you go yesterday?
Jian Ning stroked its little head and said, "I'm going out to play."

The little Border Collie was unhappy: "Woof~" My owner is mean, he went out to play without me.

Jian Ning said, "I'll make it up to you with a strip of meat when we get home."

The Border Collie puppy immediately changed its attitude.

"Woof~" My master is the best, the best in the whole world.

Jian Ning pushed Wen Li forward and back to the villa. When the cats in the yard saw Jian Ning, they all came over to rub against her.

Wenli looked on with envy: "You live alone in this resort, with so many cats and dogs. It's the life I've always dreamed of."

Jian Ning smiled and pushed her into the room on the first floor that was originally prepared for her grandmother.

"There's only one room on the first floor. I'm staying on the second floor. There's a red button by the bed. If you have any problems when you're alone, just press it and my room will give you a notification."

The environment here is much more comfortable and convenient than at home. Wenli nodded and said, "Thank you."

Seeing that she didn't seem uncomfortable for the time being, Jian Ning said gently, "Then you should rest for a bit. I'll go make dinner and organize the information tonight. We'll contact the authorities to report it first thing tomorrow morning."

Wenli grabbed her hand. "Su Shijian has connections. I reported it to the police, but it was no use. That's why I don't dare to report it easily, because I'm afraid Su Shijian will find out that I know about him."

Jian Ning squeezed his hand back, "Let's report it tomorrow first. We need to give the authorities time to investigate. If there are any problems, we'll immediately spread them online. We'll do both."

The next day, Jian Ning and Wen Li organized the evidence and submitted the report on the website, leaving Jian Ning's contact information.

Anyway, she and Su Shijian had already openly broken off relations, so even if Su Shijian found out it was her, she had nothing to be afraid of.

However, things turned out to be more complicated than Jian Ning had anticipated.

For several working days in a row, apart from a follow-up phone call, there was no further news.

Jian Ning took the initiative to call and ask, but the other party's attitude was also very negative.

Late at night on the sixth day after the report, blood was splashed on the gate of Huayue Villa, and a pungent, fishy stench filled the air.

The other party came aggressively and started fighting as soon as they entered the door.

Xiao Bai sensed something was wrong and immediately came to report it, but by the time Jian Ning arrived at the gate, the other party had already finished and run away.

Jian Ning wore a large headlamp on her head, which shone wherever her head swayed.

Bloodstains were visible everywhere, on the iron gate and on the ground.

She understood that this was a warning from the other party.

The little Border Collie sniffed, "Woof~" Master, it's blood of the same kind.

Little White also said, "Meow~" I can smell the scent of my kind too.

With so much blood, I wonder how many cats and dogs they killed.

Jian Ning clenched her fists, staring at the blood on the ground, her eyes as cold as ice.

Since justice is so long in coming.

Then she'll go ask for it herself!
