Chapter 146 - Dining

Ya Ming Building was a landmark building at M City. The revolving restaurant at the top floor was a sign of peak luxury at the city.

With Su Shen and Su Qian, we rushed all the way there.

Brother Hu called and reported that they had already rescued Auntie Bai Rui from the villa. I told him to bring Auntie Bai Rui home and then I called Sister Li to come accompany Auntie Bai Rui. They needed to look after Auntie Bai Rui's safety.

Su Shen said, "Actually, I believe after this incident, no one dares to come after Jing Ni and her mother anymore. Ah Hu and the others follow miss' orders. They will take down anyone in their way. But since we're dealing with the Jing Family, they would have encountered people from the Ardent Flame Alliance. Since Bai Rui has been rescued, it meant that Ardent Flame Alliance has backed down. Once this news spread, those with some brain will know Sky City is not to be bullied anymore."

I said, "I'm afraid not everyone has brain!"

There would always be people who would do anything for money. I couldn't risky Auntie Bai Rui and Jing Ni's safety anymore.

I walked through the door of the spinning restaurant and the maitre'd stopped me. I pushed him aside. There were not that many people at the restaurant. I looked at every table but I couldn't find Jing Ni and Shi Feng.

A bad feeling rose in my heart once again.

Shi Feng was a horrible person and the 3 from the Jing Family were even worse. I thought that things would have changed in this life because of my intervention. Jing Ni had become a different person so perhaps she would be spared from the same ending. However, the situation had changed, but the ending was still the same and it was the enhanced edition.

Being sold by her big brother to someone from the capital and then kill herself one year later. I shivered. No, nothing can happen to Jing Ni!

The manager stomped over. "Miss! What are you doing? This is a high-class restaurant! If you are not here to patronize us, please leave immediately!"

I grabbed his collar. "I'm looking for someone! Help me find them immediately or I'll smash this place into pieces. At worst, I'll pay you for the damage." There was a bloodthirsty smile on my lips.

The money was no issue for me but it would cost the restaurant a lot to undo the damage.

The manager's face paled. "Miss, may I know who you're looking for? Can you describe your boyfriend or husband to me? I can show you the surveillance footage, how about that?"

I smiled and let go of him. I helped him tidy up his tie. "Lead the way, I want to see the surveillance footage!" I said coldly.

Jing Ni was dressed in a pick dress with a low-cut. Her hair was pulled up high, revealing her slender neck. I was shocked. Jing Ni's beauty had never been put on such full display before. Due to Jing Yan, Jing Ni had always kept a low profile at the Jing Family. However, Jing Ni was more beautiful of Jing Yan, it was also why Jing Yan hated her so much.

Jing Yan was flamboyant in her beauty but Jing Ni was gentle and reserved. There was a softness about her that would evoke the sense of protection from any man who saw her.

Shi Feng had a charming smile on his face. He poured Jing Ni a glass of wine, cut the steak, and placed it in front of Jing Ni.

Jing Ni sat very still with her eyes lowered. She had a demure beauty to her.

Shi Feng was a love expert. He looked at the beautiful woman and spoke with confident. I wished I could reach through the camera to pull him out. Jing Ni allowed him to ramble and she was as still as a mountain.

I sighed internally. This poor child, this must be a skill she has picked up when she was young.

I believed her mind was already far away from the table. But why didn't she call me? Did she not trust me?

I fast-forwarded and finally I saw movement from Jing Ni. She picked up her wine glass. I pulled back the time line for a bit.

Shi Feng probably got tired. He picked up the glass and told Jing Ni something. Jing Ni hesitated and then picked up her own glass.

I was anxious. I paused the video and wound it back. I slowed down but there was no sound. I couldn't tell what Shi Feng had said. 

"After sharing this drink, I will bring you to go find them and rescue your mother. Don't worry, I am never one to force others to do things they don't want to!" The manager stared at the screen and said.

I looked at him in shock.

He smiled embarrassedly. "At a place like this, you eventually have to pick up lip-reading to survive."

I was very impressed. I gave him a thumbs up.

My eyes returned to the screen. Jing Ni drank the wine in her glass.

Shi Feng smiled.

That smile made me feel very scared.

Then he stood up, walked to Jing Ni's side, and reached out his hand to Jing Ni.

Jing Ni held his hand and stood up. Then her fingers went subconsciously to pinch her temple.

Something is wrong with the wine!
