Chapter 137 - Mother And Son
Cheng Che nodded. "That makes sense. A woman"s heart is difficult to comprehend...!"
Mu Chen instructed, "Ask Si Hai to return and bring some men to protect Song Ning."
Cheng Che was stunned before he nodded. "Understood."
Si Hai was their most capable a.s.sistant and bodyguard. This showed much importance to Song Ning by sending Si Hai to protect her.
"Although it wasn"t Ye Cheng"s doing this time, there"s no guarantee he won"t make a move in the future. I suspect Ye Cheng is still unaware that Song Ning is Ning Xia from Yi Yao." A faint smile could be seen on Mu Chen"s lips when he spoke.
Ye Cheng had always viewed Mu Chen as a rival and considered him an enemy. Therefore, he always had to be on guard.
If Ye Cheng knew Song Ning was Ning Xia, he would probably die from anger.
…
At this moment, Ning Dong stood at the corner of the underground parking lot, watching the failed kidnapping. His hands were clenched so tightly it was as though his fingernails were going to draw blood.
After he called a car and returned home, he discovered his father was not around. Instead, he saw his mother pacing around the living room with an uneasy expression on her face,
Su Tong hurriedly rushed to her son and asked worriedly, "Son, why did you come back so late?"
Ning Dong shrugged and did not reply to her.
Su Tong asked absent-mindedly, "Do you want to eat something? Let the kitchen cook it for you."
Ning Dong looked at Su Tong. "Don"t wait anymore. They were all taken away by the police."
Su Tong was shocked. "What? They were all taken away? Why are they so useless?" She tried to suppress her anxiety and asked again, "Dongdong, what… what do you mean? I… I don"t understand…"
Ning Dong placed his bag on the sofa and sat down before he took a sip of water. After that, he said, "You know what I"m talking about. Stop pretending. The three people you hired couldn"t get close to her at all. Mu Chen arrived in time and sent all of them to the police station. Think about it carefully. Did you leave any evidence that might lead back to you? Don"t let them trace this back to you…"
Su Tong was dumbfounded. She said in a daze "S-son, you know everything? I… I only meant to scare her… I didn"t…"
Ning Dong looked at his mother coldly and interjected, "What"s the use of explaining to me? You can only hope those three good-for-nothings don"t give you up. If they do, what are you going to do?"
Ning Dong sneered inwardly. "With such an IQ, she still wants to harm others…"
Su Tong gulped as she tried to calm herself down. "I… I didn"t have any contact with those people. I gave them money and pretended to be Ye Xin"s people. They won"t suspect me…"
Ning Dong"s expression eased up upon hearing this. "Be careful. If something like this happens again, you have to discuss it with me first. I"ll help you look for people. At least it"ll be more reliable. If you want to harm her, what"s the point of just scaring her?"
Ning Dong"s words struck at Su Tong"s heart like a heavy hammer. Her face paled immediately. Her son still looked like her son but he felt unfamiliar. When did he become like this? She could not understand. "Son… Son… you, you…"
Alas, she did not have the courage to finish her words.
Ning Dong grabbed his bag and rose to his feet. He left without sparing another glance at his mother as he said coldly, "I know what I"m doing, and I know what you want to do. In the future, you better inform me of your plan so I won"t be implicated by you. The Ning family is mine; no one can take it away from me!"
Su Tong watched the thin figure of her son left. She had mixed feelings about her son"s sudden change and could not help but feel chills running up her spine. When did her son become like this? Was he still her son?
Naturally, Su Tong was happy seeing her son"s determination to take over the Ning Group, but she did not want him to become cold and heartless to the point where he did not even care about her. He was her flesh and blood; her life. If he did not love her, then she really had nothing in this world.
Moreover, Ning Dong said if she wanted to act again he would find people to do it. What help is talking about? Who did he know? Su Tong"s heart was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with unease when she thought about these things.
She was about to go upstairs to his room to question when she heard the maid announce Ning Zhe"s arrival. With that, she had no choice but to go and greet Ning Zhe at the door. Ning Zhe was her biggest support after all.
Despite her inner turmoil, she smiled beautifully. "You"re back so early today…"
"Yes," Ning Zhe replied indifferently before he made his way to the study.
Su Tong stood there awkwardly.
The butler, Ning Chun, explained softly, "Madam, sir encountered some problems in the company today so he"s not in a good mood."
Su Tong smiled bitterly. "It"s okay. I"m used to his cold behavior."
Ning Chun lowered his head and walked past her, following Ning Zhe into the study.
