Chapter 415 The Magic Use of Runes

“Alright, sister, take it easy. Leave it to me. You must be tired after the day, so take a rest early.”

Ding Ning’s eyes flickered. He seemed to think of something and was excited with an itch for a try on his face.

Ding Qianlie stretched herself and thought that Ding Ning was trying to comfort her. She yawned and said with tearful eyes, “Take a rest, all of you. I’ll go to sleep now.”

“Good night, sister!”

Luoxue would not go to bed unless Ding Ning went to bed. Chin in hands, she looked at Ding Ning with eager eyes and did not look sleepy at all.

Ding Ning fondled her head with affection and said apologetically, “I’m sorry that I didn’t accompany you to visit the restaurant. How is it? How do you feel about the decoration?”

“It’s very beautiful, like a castle in the air, and the operation room is very big…”

Luoxue shook her hands and stamped her feet in excitement when talking about the restaurant. While describing the restaurant to Ding Ning, she waved her hands to express her joy.

Ding Ning listened to her with a smile on his face. He was very pleased to see Luoxue’s happy face. Maybe in her heart, happiness was such a simple thing.

He did not need to look at the restaurant himself to know what it looked like. After all, he was the designer of the restaurant and had spent five million yuan to decorate it. Since he was so picky about the decoration, the decoration company dared not to do the work perfunctorily.

Arms around Luoxue’s waist, Ding Ning discussed the layout of the restaurant with her in a gentle voice. When she became sleepy, Ding Ning said to her, “Go to sleep, Luoxue. I need to study the refrigerator now.”

“Study the refrigerator?”

Luoxue blinked her sleepy big eyes and asked in confusion.

“Yes, and the air conditioner.”

With a mysterious smile on his face, Ding Ning said, “Maybe tomorrow morning, you will see a miracle when you wake up.”

Luoxue immediately became energetic and was no longer sleepy. She asked with her beautiful big eyes wide open, “What miracle?”

“You’ll know it tomorrow morning. Now, go to sleep.”

Ding Ning patted her tight hips with a smile and drove her upstairs.

“Oh!”

Luoxue pretended to go upstairs to sleep reluctantly, but in fact, she peered out her little head to see what Ding Ning was doing.

However, Ding Ning walked into the kitchen, so Luoxue could not see anything but could hear some cracking sounds of disassembling something. As a result, she could only go back to sleep.

Ding Ning worked in the kitchen all night, and nobody knew what he was doing. Uncle Zhang, who got up the earliest, was surprised to find that his honorable young master was making breakfast. He was so surprised that his chin almost dropped.

In the past, as long as Ding Ning ate at home, the second miss would make three meals for him, and even the dozen maids in their home could not have a hand in. As a result, it was really rare to see Ding Ning cook.

Uncle Zhang, a noble housekeeper, respected Ding Ning very much because this mysterious young master knew Holman and even mentioned the prince of Dubai last night. He thus thought that Ding Ning must be a real noble; otherwise, he couldn’t have been able to make friends with these noble figures.

Though he stayed up all night, Ding Ning was not sleepy at all. After a night of doing tests, his latest research products—Rune Refrigerator and Rune Air Conditioner, were successfully created.

As long as he figured out the operating principle of refrigerators and air conditioners, it was not easy to create Rune Refrigerators and Rune Air Conditioners.

What Ding Ning needed to was just drawing several Ice-Condensing Runes, Air-Conditioning Runes and Spirit-Drawing Runes in his refrigerator and air conditioner. By doing so, the refrigerator and air conditioner would become high technology rune products which could work normally without electricity, would not produce any noise, and could adjust the temperature at any time.

Ding Ning had remolded the refrigerator and air conditioner in the kitchen, which would save him a lot of electric bills.

He even thought about engraving Starlight Runes and Lighting Runes in Luoxue’s restaurant so that they even did not need to equip the restaurant with lamps. However, considering that it would be too ostentatious, he decided to equip the restaurant with lamps in the end. Nevertheless, sometimes, he could use these runes to create a romantic atmosphere.

This time, the experiment greatly opened his mind. He realized that runes could be used widely in daily life. If runes could be popularized with great efforts, it would be a great leap for human civilization.

People could use the power between heaven and earth through runes to make clothes and foods, to travel, and to build houses in a safe and environmentally friendly way.

Nevertheless, Ding Ning was afraid that the news would be shocking, so before he could protect himself on his own, Ding Ning decided to study the formation thoroughly as soon as possible and occupy the wild land. He wanted to conduct rune experiments on the land to see if runes could be widely used in daily life.

Once the experiment succeeded, human civilization would develop toward another direction, in which the sci-tech civilization would be healthier, more advanced, and orderly than the current sci-tech civilization.

“Brother, why did you get up so early? I was thinking about making breakfast for you just now.”

Luoxue rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. When she saw a substantial breakfast on the table, her spirits rose. She ran over happily and said, “Wow, brother, you cooked personally. It seems I can enjoy a delicious meal.”

When seeing that Luoxue filled her mouth with foods and kept chewing like a small squirrel, Ding Ning said to her in a tender tone and with affection, “Eat more slowly. Nobody will seize your food.”

“Well, I’m here to seize food from her. Wow, it smells so good.”

Ding Qianlie rushed downstairs and sat beside Ding Luoxue with a grin. One leg over the other, she started to gorge on foods and said in an unclear tone, “It’s delicious, really delicious. Brother, please cook for me more often in the future.”

“No problem!” Ding Ning was amused. He made eyes at his sister, knocked on the table, and said to her, “Only that, please pay more attention to table manner. Can’t you see Uncle Zhang’s grave face?”

Seeing Uncle Zhang, who stood by the door of the kitchen like a door-god and looked grave as if he had had astriction, the two girls stuck out their tongues playfully, straightened their backs, and started to chew the foods like a lady.

“Sister, don’t worry about the development project in the old area. The building material trader that we had cooperated with before would come to see you before this evening.”

Ding Ning said slowly while enjoying his food.

Ding Qianlie’s hands paused as she looked at him skeptically and said, “How is it possible? Aren’t they afraid of the threats from the industry association?”

“Industry association?”

Ding Ning sneered coldly and said, “Industry association served as a bridge and a tie between government and enterprises. It’s just a civil organization. Since now the association failed to uphold fairness and justice, strike some enterprises deliberately, and disturbed the fair competitions in the market, we should replace the current president with someone else.”

“Just as you said, it is a non-governmental organization. Is it so easy to change the president? Even the government couldn’t have a hand in, right?”

Ding Qianlie was very clever. She immediately realized that Ding Ning must have found someone to help them, but she could not think of who this powerful person could be.

“The Real Estate Industry Association had been rotten to their bones. They ganged up with the local real estate developers to strike foreign developers at will and engaged in unfair competitions. Unfortunately, relying on their identities as local people, they have been on a smooth way for so long that they forgot they were a non-governmental organization under the leadership and supervision of the Shenzhou government. Though it’s difficult for the government to intervene, it’s easy for them to handle a non-governmental organization. Besides, the real estate industry is not clean itself. They bought state cadres over through bribe and struck foreign enterprises at will. Those corrupt cadres turned a blind eye to their illegal activities. Now, all the members of the association have been taken away by the government for investigation. The whole industry is faced with a great purge, so, don’t worry, sister.”

Ding Ning was so certain about what he said because he had received a call from Xiao Nuo this morning. The latter told him that many corrupt activities of Director Ma and Zhu Chang’an had been exposed, while the government was striking corruption with great efforts recently.

Outsiders might not know that building bridges, roads, and properties could make huge profits, but insiders did. They knew very well that the construction industry was an industry with great profits. Especially after the government ganged up with the enterprises, the profits within the industry could drive people crazy.

As a result, few officials who were in charge of the important governmental projects would let go of such a great chance to make money.

For this reason, the government held an urgent meeting that night. On the meeting, Mayor Du struck the table angrily and said that the case must be investigated thoroughly no matter who was involved.

A special investigation team consisting of cadres from Commission for Discipline Inspection, Public Security, and Prosecutor’s Office started the investigation overnight. Many involved officials who were sleeping with their wives or lovers were taken away for investigation.

All the people of the industry association, including the president and the members, were arrested. They were suspected of breaking the law by buying or selling the bid from or to the officials during the tendering and bidding of the real estate project.

The clues obtained from them indicated that some leading cadres at the deputy municipal level who were in charge of the construction work of the city were involved. It seemed that an earthquake would attack the official circles of Ninghai.

The only thing that annoyed Xiao Nuo was that the man with tattoos assumed all the responsibility on himself. As a result, Qin Canghai would be released in 24 hours since no evidence of Qin Canghai’s crime had been found.

Ding Ning was not surprised by it at all. The only reason that the underground forces could sustain their lives to now was that they always made their underlings their scapegoats. When Qin Canghai was arrested, Ding Ning had foreseen this ending.

He had wanted to do nothing to Qin Canghai but to teach him a lesson. Ding Ning was more satisfied with Qin Canglan compared to the arrogant Qin Canghai.

Just as Ding Ning ended the call from Xiao Nuo, Secretary Xu called him saying that he could rest assured the project about the old area on Fuxing Road would go on well.

Secretary Xu also thanked Ding Ning in an obscure way for providing Mayor Du with a good chance to start his work.

Ding Ning immediately realized that the event involving the industry association was not accidental but was a cruel political struggle.

William and the industry association victimizing his sister triggered an earthquake within the official circles, which was exactly the breakthrough Mayor Du needed in his work.

The fight against underworld forces and corruption had harmed the interests of many people. Thus, Mayor Du was under much pressure from many forces. Plus that the involved ones all ceased their activities recently, it was hard for Mayor Du to get a handle on them. As a result, the fight eventually became an empty laughingstock. Mayor Du was thus sneered at by his political opponents both in public and secret. He was so angry that he had smashed several cups in his office.

Unexpectedly, Ding Ning’s unintentional action gave him a breakthrough, firing the first shot in the anti-corruption fight and silencing all the people. Mayor Du finally got a chance to show his power and bring the fight into practice.

His political opponents who sneered at him before now were in a panic and tried to plead him for mercy for themselves in a roundabout way. However, Mayor Du refused them justly.

After spending several days in depression, Mayor Du finally got a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment. He laughed happily in his office after seeing away his political opponents, who looked terrible. He kept saying that Ding Ning was his lucky star and that he must treat him well.

Figuring out Mayor Du’s intention, Secretary Xu called Ding Ning affably to let him rest assured.

After getting a full understanding of the current situation, Ding Ning was emboldened and thus dared to promise his sister that the building material traders who had been threatened by the industry association would take the chance to cooperate with Longteng Group for it would be difficult for them to get such a chance again in the future.
