Chapter 169 - He grunted like a little beast who had been attacked. (2)
Ning Zhi tossed the tissue away into a trash can by the side of the road. Pulling out her cellphone, she made a call.
“I need a favor.”
The bodyguard was very cautious. “Anything, Second Young Madam.”
He had failed at watching over the young master previously and allowed others take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the young master. That was a big mistake on his part. The second young madam, however, never blamed or disciplined him over that.
In either case, he must listen to what the second young madam wanted him to do for her.
“I want you to help me tail two people and keep me updated on their whereabouts.” Ning Zhi had that idea ever since the first time Lin Tiantian had her eyes on her little jade stamp.
Instead of having someone eyeing it over time, she was better off just satisfying their needs.
Ning Zhi gave them the fake jade stamp. With Master Chen’s craftsmanship, the fake one looked almost identical to the real one.
Perhaps, she could find out through Lin Tiantian what the jade stamp could do.
At the Lin’s.
Lin Tiantian came down from the second floor after Ning Zhi had taken off.
She knew that Ning Zhi might not hand over the jade stamp if she was there.
“How did it go, Mom? Did you get it?” Lin Tiantian looked anxious.
“Don’t worry. It’s right here.” Mother Lin produced the little box from behind her.
Lin Tiantian immediately opened up the box and confirmed that it was, indeed, the jade stamp that she had seen before. “I knew that Ning Zhi would listen to you.”
Mother Lin, too, smiled. “All the years of raising her weren’t a waste.”
Pausing a little, she said, “But, she wiped my sweat earlier. I wonder if anything had got onto her tissue and that she would realize that I was faking my illness.”
Lin Tiantian wasn’t bothered by that. “Now that we have the little jade stamp, so what if she had noticed? What could she do?”
Mother Lin felt that what Lin Tiantian said made sense and was no longer worried.
“Mom, I had someone looked into it the last couple of days. This jade stamp came from the Ning family over at City Nan.” Lin Tiantian found a photo of Old Mr. Ning. He looked exactly like the old man in her dream.
Mother Lin was stunned. “Are you talking about the Ning’s…. of City Nan?”
The Lu in the North and the Ning in the South.
Unlike the high-profile Lu family, the Ning family had remained lowkey in recent years.
“That’s the one,” Lin Tiantian nodded definitely.
In her dream, Ning Zhi had succeeded the Ning’s fortune. As such, Ning Zhi’s wealthy could rival that of the Lu’s.
Mother Lin was shocked beyond words at this point. All she could hear was the plan told to her by her daughter.
When Ning Zhi returned to the Lu family, she was surprised to discover that Mother Lu was discharged from the hospital two days early.
The servant told her that Mother Lu had just returned and was resting in her room. She was not in a very good mood.
Ning Zhi knocked on Mother Lu’s door.
She saw Mother Lu looking at a photo album when she walked inside.
“Mom, why did you decide to get discharged from the hospital early so suddenly?” She had planned to take Lu Jue with her to the hospital when Mother Lu was discharged.
“I’m fine. I have mostly recovered already. As long as I am not walking around, the incision site doesn’t hurt much.” Mother Lu patted at the spot next to her and gesture Ning Zhi to go and sit next to her.
Mother Lu was dressed very simple and elegantly today. She had on a white dress set with dark green emerald bead necklace. She was elegant and attractive as usual. “I left the hospital to visit Xiao Jue’s late grandmother today.”
Lu Jue’s grandmother? That’s Mother Lu’s mother then.
Ning Zhi listened to Mother Lu quietly.
“Xiao Jue’s grandmother had heart disease. She had an episode and passed away when Xiao Jue was a sophomore in high school.” Mother Lu carried on to say, “It so happened that Xiao Jue was with her when she had her episode.”
Ning Zhi was stunned.
She had an idea about what happened next.
