Chapter 73 Good idea

"Ningning, when are you going back? I'll go back to the center soon and can pick you up on the way."

Wen Yao's tone sounded very relaxed, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard it.

She thought that Minister Wen would be there when she returned to the old house for dinner, so she might as well talk to him in person.

So she said directly: "No need, I'm shopping in the city now, Xiao Xie is with me, he can just take me back."

Wen Yao paused, and probably guessed what Jiang Ning was going to do, and said sourly: "Why didn't you ask me to go shopping? Xie Jingyuan has been spoiled since he was a child, and all the good things are delivered directly to him. How would he know where is suitable for you to go shopping?"

Jiang Ning looked at Xie Jingyuan who was walking over hurriedly with bread and water, and said with a smile: "No, he is really good at it. I bought those gifts based on his advice."

As soon as Xie Jingyuan came back, he heard this sentence that seemed to be praising him. He raised his eyebrows and made a silent mouth shape: "Wen Yao?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Xie Jingyuan signaled Jiang Ning to turn on the speaker, and then said directly: "Ningning, I will send her back safely, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wen Yao seemed to be grinding his teeth on the other end of the phone, but for Jiang Ning's sake he didn't say anything. He just said to Xie Jingyuan, "Remember to leave quickly after you drop off the meal. Don't think about coming over at a later time to get a free meal."

Xie Jingyuan couldn't help but said, "Oh, sorry, I'll eat this meal today. Ningning, are you nervous about going back to the Wen family for the first time? I'll go with you. I'm quite familiar with the Wen family."

Before Jiang Ning could say anything, Wen Yao couldn't hold back any longer: "Mr. Xie, stop being so arrogant. Do you know me? No matter how familiar you are, can you be as familiar as me?"

Xie Jingyuan was fearless: "How can you say that? Aunt Fang has several projects that were invested in by me. She likes me very much. If she and Aunt Man see me coming, they will definitely invite me to dinner. Do you believe it?"

Wen Yao: ...

He didn't even want to pay attention to Xie Jingyuan, and ignored his words. He said softly to Jiang Ning, "Ningning, don't come back too late. By the way, you are too soft-hearted and don't know how dangerous the outside world is. Some outsiders just want to sneak into our family's dinner table without any reason. Don't be fooled."

He deliberately emphasized the words "outsiders" and "family members".

Seeing Xie Jingyuan rolling his eyes, Jiang Ning wanted to sigh helplessly.

Why do these two people quarrel like elementary school students every time they meet?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning tore up the bread and put it on the newspaper that Xie Jingyuan got from somewhere to feed the birds, and told him what she had heard from the crow before.

Xie Jingyuan's relaxed expression paused: "Not Le Jin?" Jiang Ning shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either. Tracking his itinerary clearly shows that he has left China. But besides him, who else has the means to control paper cranes?

"To be honest, compared to the possibility that there are other people who have the ability to drive Shikigami, I would rather he hides his whereabouts by some unknown means. Otherwise it would be too scary."

Xie Jingyuan naturally knew what Jiang Ning was worried about, and he comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter what, the beasts will protect this land. Ningning, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you still have me... and us.

"Besides, even if there are people like Le Jin, so what? Can they do what Le Jin can't do? Maybe one or two ordinary people can't deal with them, but what about ten or a hundred? No one can do whatever they want on Chinese soil, otherwise they will be knocked awake by Bang Bang sooner or later."

Xie Jingyuan's words did make Jiang Ning feel more at ease. She nodded and said, "You are right. No matter how powerful they are, they can't defeat a hundred people alone. And I always have a feeling that it was Le Jin himself who made these paper cranes.

"But maybe he has some special way to hide his whereabouts... Wait, do those Ninja Onmyojis in Japan have methods like substitution techniques?"

Now that they already have Shikigami, Jiang Ning suddenly remembered a novel she had read a long time ago that described methods beyond the scope of science, including the art of substitution.

"So, it's possible that Le Jin sent his substitute back to Japan, while he himself stayed in China to continue causing trouble?"

After Xie Jingyuan fed the last bit of bread crumbs, he clapped his hands and picked up the newspaper on the ground: "I'll take you back to the Wen family first. You can talk to Minister Wen about this matter privately first. I will also mobilize all the authority with my colleagues in the Information Department to find Le Jin's whereabouts.

"If he is really in Jing City, then we will definitely find him."

Jiang Ning nodded and was about to say something when she saw the crow standing beside her, preening its feathers. Her eyes lit up and she said, "I suddenly thought of another effective way."

She approached the crow and said with a smile, "The smartest crow in the world, can you do me a small favor? As long as you agree, I will bring your favorite food to continue feeding you tomorrow."

The crow tilted its head and glanced at Jiang Ning, its eyes rolling: [Actually, you know, I generally don’t like dealing with upright apes, because most upright apes are not very smart. God, they can’t even see the intelligence and beauty of our crow clan, and they still say we are noisy! ]
[But you are different. You are smarter than them... well, a little bit. Well, in that case, tell me what you would like the smartest bird in the world, the crow, to do for you.]
[By the way, remember to bring me some nuts and fish tomorrow. They’re hard to find in the park, but damn, I love them.]
Jiang Ning almost couldn't help but say something along the lines of, "Oh, God, look at this crow, where on earth did it learn this accent?!"

But she couldn't guarantee whether the crow would be angry after hearing this, so she could only restrain herself and ask, "I would like to ask you and your bird friends to inform me at any time if there is any news about the man who released the paper crane. I live in..."

The crow waved its wings and said with a relaxed look: [Oh my God, there are people who don’t know. As long as the crow wants, the crow can know where she lives. Even if she has moved.]
Hearing this, Jiang Ning suddenly remembered what she had heard before, that crows have a strong desire for revenge, and she couldn't help but stand in awe: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

The crow nodded gracefully and reservedly. Before leaving, it turned its head anxiously and emphasized, "Nuts and fish. Don't forget them. Crows have much better memories than you think, and they hate any form of broken promises."

Jiang Ning suppressed her laughter and replied seriously, "Oh, you got my promise, Mr. Crow."

The crow turned and left, very satisfied.
