173: Chapter 173 A Twisted Fate

The car pulled up below Lin Ning's apartment building. Chen Zhi wanted to ask something, but Lin Ning didn't give him the chance, opening the door, getting out, and waving as he entered the unit in one smooth motion.

Chen Zhi laughed out of frustration, but seeing Lin Ning's somewhat sluggish pace, he only cursed with a smile, "You brat!"

Then he also let out a yawn, turned back the way he came, and prepared to go home to rest. With a target range identified, the rest was work for the boys under his command. This kind of winning battle was simply too satisfying to fight!

Lin Ning had been studying day and night recently, and tonight he had used his Psychic Power at high intensity. Even with his good constitution, he was truly exhausted mentally.

After a simple wash, he lay on the bed, pondering what to do tomorrow as his consciousness gradually blurred.

Lin Ning stood in a massive conference hall, where Chen Zhi said anxiously, "There's not enough time, we can only take it one step at a time."

Hearing this, Lin Ning patted Chen Zhi's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, you have me!"

With that, Lin Ning's Psychic Power transformed into invisible tentacles, pointing out the many 'red names' mixed in the crowd one by one. The scenes flowed like water as Lin Ning continuously narrated: "Zhao X, murderer; Qian XX, assassin; Sun XX, embezzler; Li X, USA spy; Wu X, traitor..."

At this moment, Lin Ning was like a judge of the mortal realm, continuously pronouncing sentences based on everyone's past.

Chen Zhi looked at him with excitement and admiration...

A gloomy basement filled with the scent of blood.

Hans smiled with a hideous and perverted expression, holding a sharp scalpel in his hand, "Don't be afraid, you won't be alone. You will be my twentieth masterpiece."

The Chinese girl tied up opposite him was shedding tears, her face full of despair.

Lin Ning appeared like a god from the heavens, kicking the iron door flying. It smashed into Hans, pinning him to the ground.

"I am a foreigner." Seeing Lin Ning untie the girl's ropes, Hans said with unabated arrogance, "Your laws can't touch me. No one died, and my country will save me."

Lin Ning reached out and tapped the air lightly.

Hans's expression went blank; his eyes remained open, but his breath was gone.

"A foreigner? Even an alien wouldn't be spared!"

"Haha..."

The laughter stopped abruptly, though the smile remained on his face.

“Damn! I actually woke myself up laughing?!” Lin Ning was immediately filled with regret, “That was so freaking satisfying! Too bad it was a dream!”

He sat up and rubbed his face.

While relieving himself, he thought about how to relax today.

Suddenly a good idea struck him, and his hand shook, nearly making him pee on his own feet.

Go buy a car.

His household registration was settled, the license plate was under his name, and he had the money—why wouldn't he buy a car?

After a quick wash, he threw on some clothes and couldn't wait to head out.

When he arrived at the company, Wang Qiao was cursing at the market charts:

“Who the hell invented the A-shares? It's nothing like what the books say. Are they insane?!”

Jiang Yu was beside him, laughing uncontrollably.

Seeing Lin Ning enter, she stood up happily, “Finished with your work?”

Lin Ning was also beaming, “Yeah. Come on, I'll take you to buy a car. My registration and plate are all sorted.”

Wang Qiao had been looking at Lin Ning sideways, but his eyes lit up at the news: “Buying a car? What kind of car?”

“I want to go too!!”

Lin Ning rolled his eyes: “You're everywhere.”

Wang Qiao jumped up from his seat and put Lin Ning in a headlock.

“You bastard who prioritizes women over friends! Did you forget how you used to beg me to go with you?!”

Lin Ning stopped his motion to throw him off, feeling a bit guilty as he tried to defend himself.

Wang Qiao held his head and shook it hard, “Speak up! Make an excuse!”

Jiang Yu: “Hahaha...”

In the end, Lin Ning, with a shred of conscience left, surrendered.

At noon, the three of them found a small restaurant for lunch.

Wang Qiao waved his chopsticks: “Buy a BMW 3 Series, the Sport version. It's handsome! If you drive that out, the girls will definitely take a second look.”

Jiang Yu picked up some food, not even looking up: “What's the use of being handsome? Volvo, it's safe.”

Lin Ning chewed his food: “I want to buy a land cruiser... forget it, let's get something low-key and common like a Volkswagen, sigh...”

If he ever needed to tail someone in a car, it couldn't be too conspicuous.

Wang Qiao: “Then just ride an electric scooter, that's the most low-key.”

Lin Ning: “...”

Jiang Yu laughed her head off. These two together were just too hilarious.

After eating, the three of them headed for the BMW 4S dealership.

As soon as they walked in, they heard a familiar clamor.

A woman's shrill voice roared in anger: “You're buying a car for her? Have you no shame?!”

Lin Ning turned to look—

Si Jiaqi was grabbing a man's clothes, crying and cursing, while a young girl stood nearby, clutching the man's other arm just as stubbornly.

Si Jiaqi's trademark 'delicate white flower' look was completely gone; she wore heavy makeup, a short skirt, and thin high heels. Her hysterical state drew the attention of everyone in the hall.

Lin Ning quickly looked at Wang Qiao, who was frozen in place as if a paralysis spell had been cast on him.

Lin Ning's heart sank.

Without a word, he grabbed Wang Qiao by the back of his collar and started dragging him out.

“Let's go, we're not looking anymore.”

As he was being dragged, Wang Qiao's eyes were still drifting over there.

The man: “You talk about shame? You have a boyfriend and still came to sleep with me? Let go!”

He shoved Si Jiaqi away.

Si Jiaqi stumbled. Just as she was about to go wild, she looked up and saw Wang Qiao. She immediately cried out with infinite grievance: “Xiao Qiao!!”

Then she lunged over, blocking their path.

“Xiao Qiao! They're all bullying me!”

Wang Qiao opened his mouth, only able to mutter: “Guoguo...”

Si Jiaqi's tears fell like broken pearls, “Are you going to avoid me? Do you still remember the promise you once made to me?”

Lin Ning felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. Countless similar scenes from the past began to overlap.

He pulled the helpless Wang Qiao behind him and said in a restrained tone, “It's been over between you two for a long time!”

Si Jiaqi's gaze darkened, and she glared at him fiercely, “Bullshit! It's because you guys acted like gossiping women, constantly sowing discord, that Xiao Qiao and I were forced to break up!”

Lin Ning almost felt like vomiting.

A woman who cheated every day and squandered money, who got knocked up and ran off with someone else, was now turning around and blaming them?

He was too disgusted to maintain his poise and was about to argue it out. However, Jiang Yu grabbed him, pulled him behind her, and stepped forward.

She looked Si Jiaqi up and down with a disdainful gaze, her mouth not staying idle: “Is that a chicken gizzard on your face, or is it just holding in all the crap in your head? Who do you think you're talking to? If you think your blush is too light, I'll use my palm to give you some color! Take your cheap madness elsewhere. Try acting like a bitch to Lin Ning again and see what happens!”

Si Jiaqi was about to curse back, but Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes and leaned in, staring at her mouth from less than half a meter away.

Intimidated by Jiang Yu, Si Jiaqi involuntarily took a step back. Shedding tears like a tragic heroine, she said with a trembling voice, “Wang Qiao, are you just going to watch them bully me like this...”
