Chapter 178
Xi Ning became alert. Xu Si was the one that ordered the people that tried to test Jian Yue. If the bodyguard told No. 1, it would also be the same as telling Xu Si. What if he got suspicious and stopped him.
The bodyguard went outside to call. When the bodyguard was not paying attention to him, Xi Ning called the servant again. “Do you have an umbrella? Give me one.”
The servant was completely different from the bodyguard. He didn’t dare to ask too much. He quickly took a black umbrella and handed it to Xi Ning.
Xi Ning pulled up his sweater and put on his hat. Holding on to the umbrella, he tried to walk a few steps in the sun. There was nothing unusual except the heat was unbearable.
The system was worried and said, “Master, be careful. The missions during the day are really difficult to deal with. If there’s really no choice, it’s fine if you choose not to do it……”
Xi Ning shook his head. “No, I’ll go there now.”
Not only because of the mission, Jian Yue has always been so considerate towards him, he doesn’t want to see him get into danger.
Now that he has already made up his mind, Xi Ning didn’t delay any more. Holding his umbrella, he quickly walked across the backyard to the gate.
Before the bodyguard finished talking on the phone, he saw Xi Ning walking out alone and hurriedly wanted to stop him. However, Xi Ning was too fast and they didn’t dare to hurt him. They could only watch helplessly as Xi Ning got out of the door.
“Boss,” said the bodyguard to No.1 on the other end of the phone, “Mr. Xi has gone out. I don’t know where he’s going.”
No. 1 said “Got it”. After hanging up, he sent a message to Xu Si.
Xi Ning’s watch was equipped with a locator, so Xu Si could know where he had gone.
Jian Yue would come out soon. Coincidentally there was no one nearby today. No. 1 had arranged for the little girl to play with the ball on the roadside, and the wolf dog on the other side was also ready.
When Xi Ning arrived at the place mentioned in the mission instruction, his lips were dry enough that its skin was peeling off. He was sweating so much. It didn’t affect his speed in the sun, but it was really uncomfortable.
Xi Ning saw the suspected Xu family’s car parked not far away. He hasn’t seen Jian Yue yet.
Xi Ning leaned against the wall of a building to close his umbrella and rested in the shadow for a while.
The system was scanning the surrounding environment and soon found a little girl that was playing ball in the same area without parents around.
Further away, several well-dressed bodyguards are hiding in the corner, with a wolf dog in a cage.
The system told Xi Ning what it found and analyzed. “They may want Jian Yue to save people and test out his speed. If master manages to save the little girl before Jian Yue, it should have completed the mission instruction.”
Since there are not many people in the street at the moment. Xi Ning is still wearing a hat and holding on to an umbrella. When he finishes his mission, he would leave immediately. There was no one that would see his face at all.
Even if Xu Si knew that Xi Ning interfered with his intention to test Jian Yue, the system felt that he would not do anything to Xi Ning.
Soon the system detected that Jian Yue was walking this way.
No. 1 also saw it. He observed the distance and ordered in the walkie talkie. “Three, two…… One, release it.”
The scream attracted Jian Yue’s attention. He turned his head and looked at the direction of the scream. There was obviously something wrong with the wolf dog. It bared its teeth and ran straight towards a little girl.
Jian Yue immediately threw down the things in his hand and wanted to run over, but another figure rushed out of the opposite street faster than him, held the little girl and ran to the alley beside it.
Xi Ning was still holding on to the umbrella. Fortunately, he was not exposed to the sun. He put down the little girl and held his knees to panting for breath.
At the same time, the system prompted that the task had been completed and mission points had been rewarded.
[Xu Si’s plan to test Jian Yue failed. The plot has returned to normal. 5 mission points are rewarded.]
No. 1 was stunned by this scene. He quickly pressed the remote control to put down the wolf dog and ordered his subordinates to take the dog away quietly first.
The little girl thought she had completed her task and ran to Xu’s family car with the ball. Jian Yue was trying to go over and see what was going on. Suddenly he was stopped by several people.
Another car stopped by the side of the road. Xu Si was in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the car.
Xi Ning straightened up, took his umbrella and was ready to leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Si appear in front of him, with two bodyguards behind him.
He was stunned and had the feeling that he was caught on the spot. After a while, he said awkwardly, “Why are you here?”
Xu Si had no expression on his face. His eyes were staring at Xi Ning’s pale face and dry lips. He opened his mouth and said, ”Come here.”
