Chapter 552: Shangguan Ning’s Ability
Mu Qing was running after Zhao Anan, hoping to tell her that what happened today was staged just to trick her and that she should not get mad.
But before he was able to catch up with her, a man jumped in the middle and stopped him.
Mu Qing wanted to curse at him when he looked up and said in surprise, “Zheng Jing?! What are you doing here?”
Zheng Jing said with raised eyebrows, “I am here to save you from trouble, Brother!”
“d.a.m.n it, move away! Anan is mad and I am afraid that something would happen to her. I must catch up with her, otherwise it would be hard to explain later.”
Seeing his furious look which was totally different from his usual behavior, Zheng Jing could not help but sympathize with him. So he had to spill the truth. “Sorry, Bro, Sister-in-law asked me to be here to make sure that you don’t meet Zhao Anan today. But don’t worry, I will make sure that she reaches home safely. I would not let anything happen to her.”
“Sister-in-law? Shangguan Ning?!” Mu Qing got even more surprised. “How did she know that I would come out and run after Zhao Anan? No, did she know that Zhao Anan would leave the restaurant?!”
“I am not sure about it, but I am following her order, in case Master Jing breaks my leg because I disobeyed her!”
As a matter of fact, Zheng Jing showed up today not because Shangguan Ning had persuaded him to, but because Zheng Lun did. Shangguan Ning told Zheng Lun about the plan and then asked Zheng Lun to persuade Zheng Jing to help.
Zheng Jing would do anything Zheng Lun asked him to, irrespective.
What was more, he was doing it for his good buddy’s happiness and that was something Zheng Jing would definitely do!
Seeing Mu Qing’s twisted facial expression, he gave an order to his men. “Keep this doctor here so he won’t run away. He can be released after an hour.”
The men with Lee Duo as the leader sieged Mu Qing so that he could not move an inch.
Mu Qing had noticed Zheng Jing but not Lee Duo behind his back!
He spent half a year with Lee Duo in the UK and was well aware of what he was capable of.
Seeing Zheng Jing running after Zhao Anan whilst himself being trapped on the spot, Mu Qing became totally speechless!
How many people had Shangguan Ning asked for help? This was a bit over the top, right? Judging from the current situation, it seemed that there were some more attacks yet to come. Would Zhao Anan be able to handle them?
Also, was Lee Duo in charge of keeping her safe? What was he doing here?
“Lee Duo, we are good friends, aren’t we? Can you please release me? I have just got my girl back from the UK and I can’t lose her again. Please, let me go, okay?!” Mu Qing had to act emotional since he could not get out of this situation by force.
However, Lee Duo looked as if he did not know who he was. So he said with no expression on his face, “You can go if you walk over my dead body!”
Mu Qing got struck by his words. What dead body! Alright, he would not run after her anymore. Zheng Jing would make sure that Zhao Anan was fine.
Zhao Anan walked with a distracted mind. She didn’t even know where she should go.
It was June, but she was feeling cold as if she were walking on a snowy day.
Her time with Mu Qing flashed in her head and it seemed that even the arguments they had were a pleasant memory.
Was it true that she only knew how precious something was when she lost it?
She regretted what she had done to them.
“Zhao Anan?!”
A surprised voice arose from behind her back.
Zhao Anan turned around and saw the tall man and showed a brief smile, “Oh, it is you, Zheng Jing!”
“What a coincidence that I ran into you here. Where are you going?”! Zheng Jing walked forward, looking very surprised.
Zhao Anan would never expect that Zheng Jing would b.u.mp into her on purpose on this street. Zheng Jing was a very honest and serious man who barely told lies.
But a man with strong psychological control like Zheng Jing could be both totally honest or an absolute liar and could make all lies sound authentic, leaving no room for suspicion.
Especially when it came to Zhao Anan who was currently too tired to consider anything beyond what was on the surface.
“Oh well, I… I am just wandering about!”
Zheng Jing looked at her suspiciously. “Wandering about? Your home is half an hour drive away. How come you reached this place?!”
“Oh, well, I… took a taxi!”
“A taxi? Alone? There are no entertainment facilities in this area. Also, aren’t you grounded? Did your mother give you the permission to come out?”
“I…”
It was proved that lying in front of the best police officer of A City was a nerve racking thing!
And Zhao Anan did not have much brain left.
When she did not have much brain left, she had to use her muscle.
Zhao Anan suddenly hit hard on Zheng Jing’s shoulder as she said furiously, “I like wandering about, how is it your business? If you say anything else, I will knock your teeth off. I am in a terrible mood and I need to vent my anger somewhere. Stop pestering me, or you will bear the consequences.”
Zheng Jing fell into silence. The rude Zhao Anan had returned once again. Her sadness lasted only for one minute.
With his hand over his shoulder, he complained about this annoying girl inside his heart whilst trying to console her on the surface. “Don’t be mad! I didn’t mean anything. I just saw you alone and worried that something might happen to you. When you went missing last time, I took my men and searched the entire A City. I did try my best, so don’t be so fierce, alright?”
That Zheng Jing and his men tried to search her, made Zhao Anan fell quite grateful, although she said nothing to him.
She thought that when Mu Qing went to search for her, it was totally reasonable, and when Jing Yichen and his men searched for her, it was a given because he was her cousin. He had to find her, or no one else would.
But Zheng Jing also went to find her. It hadn’t been his obligation but he still did it.
