Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Followed the Wrong Person?

"Ah?"

Sun Yazhu’s expression changed, she glanced at the contract in his hand, and said very rationally, "There’s no such thing as a free benefit in the business world. If he’s not making money here, he’ll definitely make it elsewhere. This Ke Chen is not simple. Go back and tell my dad not to take him lightly."

The assistant immediately nodded.

Sun Yazhu raised her wrist, looked at the time, took out her phone, and pressed Ji Ning’s number, listening while saying to the person next to her, "I still have something to do later, you guys go back first."

Ji Ning was at a café near the hotel waiting for her at the moment.

After receiving the call, she pressed the answer button, "Done talking?"

Sun Yazhu was in a good mood, her gentle voice carried a trace of lightness, "Finished, where are you?"

Ji Ning reported the café’s address and quietly stared out the window.

At this moment, a not-so-friendly gaze was fixed on her from a diagonal back direction.

Ji Ning glanced sideways, seeing she didn’t recognize him, she quietly drank her coffee, fingers quickly typing on her phone.

[Ji Ning: Someone is following me.]

Soon there was a reply from the other side.

[Sun Yazhu: Come out in five minutes, let’s go somewhere else to eat.]

Ji Ning put away her phone, picked up the bitter coffee, frowned, and drank two large sips.

She really didn’t understand why Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong liked this shop’s coffee so much.

Ji Ning pulled out a napkin, wiped her mouth, picked up a takeaway coffee on the table, and walked out.

The bell on the door jingled pleasantly as it opened.

The shop assistants sweetly said, "Welcome back next time."

Ji Ning didn’t stop, leaving the café to meet up with Sun Yazhu in the direction she was coming from.

Passing a corner, Ji Ning saw the figure who had been watching her in the café in the wide-angle mirror.

Wearing sunglasses, a camera slung around his chest, sneakily taking several photos of her.

Ji Ning guessed his identity roughly in her mind, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly, deciding to give him a lesson.

***

Lu Dazhuang saw the target person, Ji Ning swaying into a small alley, and hurried after her,

but as soon as he quickly turned into the alley, he was dumbfounded.

This was a dead-end alley; one could see the end at a glance, with nothing to hide behind. If someone were there, they would be visible at first sight.

Huh? Where’s the person?

Lu Dazhuang walked a few steps forward and suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly turned around to escape, only to be startled by Ji Ning who dropped from above.

"Following me for so long, where do you think you’re going?"

Lu Dazhuang was somewhat scared, clutched his camera tightly, and backed away, "Don’t come near me! Let’s talk things over..."

He had already done his homework; this Ji Ning had high combat power, a fiery temper, and often injured people severely.

Both Lin Wei and Yan Jing had been taught a lesson by her.

Ji Ning found it amusing that such a coward would dare follow her?

The person behind this wasn’t very smart either.

"Why are you following me?"

"Who... who’s following you? Who said you’re the only one who’s allowed to walk this road?" Lu Dazhuang widened his eyes, mustering up his courage to retort.

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and humorously watched him perform, "Alright, you can go."

Lu Dazhuang was secretly overjoyed, but had to keep a straight face. Holding onto the camera, he was about to walk past Ji Ning, only for a hand to suddenly block his way.

"You... you said... I could go..."

"You can go, but leave the camera!"

Lu Dazhuang got anxious, clutching his camera tight, wanting to leave: "Why? It’s mine."

This time Ji Ning didn’t give him a friendly face, grabbing the back of his neck like lifting a small white mouse, she pulled him back, "I don’t like saying things twice, leave the camera!"

Lu Dazhuang was almost scared to tears, "Ah," he cried, and dropped the camera.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in at the alley entrance, holding a clothes pole found from who knows where, waving it around, "Brother Lu, run! I’ll cover!"

Oh! An accomplice?

Ji Ning snatched the clothes pole, lifting her leg to kick.

The newcomer was hit right in the middle, fell to the ground, holding his stomach groaning.

Lu Dazhuang’s face changed drastically, struggling free from Ji Ning’s grip, he said with a face full of pain, "Oh my, little master, didn’t I say not to come along? Where did it hit? Let me see..."

Chen Yantao felt like his insides were on fire, trembling in pain, his forehead was covered in sweat.

Lu Dazhuang was at a loss, repeatedly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out, and Lu Dazhuang, like protecting a chick, spread his arms wide, lying on Chen Yantao, shouting, "If you want to hit, hit me, he didn’t secretly take your pictures."

"Get up."

"No way! If you’re mad, hit me, leave him alone!"

Ji Ning didn’t like explanations, also had a bad temper, once again picked up Lu Dazhuang with one hand and threw him to the side.

"Don’t touch him!"

"Shut up—"

Ji Ning glanced sideways at him, then raised her hand and pressed a few points on Chen Yantao, who cried out twice and then stopped making noise.

Eh? It doesn’t hurt?

"You... Sister Ning?" Chen Yantao originally wanted to see who had helped him, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Ji Ning’s stunning face.

He hadn’t seen her at school for a long time; the light in his eyes brightened upon seeing Ji Ning.

There’s always news where Ji Ning is...

Chen Yantao was almost in tears.

"Xiao Tao, you know her?" Lu Dazhuang had a bit of dirt on his face, crawled over, pointing at this female tyrant in shock.

Oh my god, how does the little master know her?

Was he beaten by her?

Chen Yantao didn’t pick up on his implication, happily introducing them, "This is Sister Ning from our Anhe High School. Sister Ning, this is my Brother Lu, my dad’s apprentice."

Anhe High School?

She’s actually a high school student?

Lu Dazhuang suddenly felt his brain wasn’t working right.

Ji Ning stood up, glanced at Chen Yantao sitting on the ground, and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"Naturally chasing news..." as he said this, he realized something, looked at Lu Dazhuang, and asked awkwardly, "Brother Lu, you weren’t chasing her news, were you?" then swallowed hard.

Lu Dazhuang also realized he had hit a hard wall, smiled bitterly, nodded, and when he saw Ji Ning looking at him, he immediately raised three fingers, "I’ll go back and refund the money right now, won’t take this business."

"Business?"

"Refund?"

Four pairs of eyes stared at him.

Lu Dazhuang suddenly felt his face getting hot, especially with his always admiring Xiao Tao asking again, "Brother Lu, weren’t you chasing news? Why chase Sister Ning’s?"

"It’s not... would you believe me if I said I was following the wrong person?"

"..."

With Lu Dazhuang admitting his mistake, they learned why he had been following Ji Ning.

It turned out someone had paid him to secretly photograph Ji Ning, write eye-catching tabloid news, and ruin her reputation, so Ye Tong’s support would fall, and no one would stand up for her anymore.

Lu Dazhuang initially planned to stake out at Mingfu Garden in a few days, unexpectedly while staking out an artist at the Marriott Hotel, he happened to see Ji Ning enter the hotel.

He immediately abandoned the initial target, staking out Ji Ning outside the hotel.

"So, you weren’t chasing news, but acting as paparazzi?"

Chen Yantao couldn’t accept it, feeling his faith had shattered.

Lu Dazhuang looked at him apologetically, "Sorry, Xiao Tao."

"Ahem..."

Ji Ning cleared her throat as a reminder that they were getting off topic.

Lu Dazhuang shuddered in fear, hastily said, "I really didn’t know you were a high school student, otherwise I wouldn’t have followed you. Don’t worry, I’ll tell the people in the circle about this, ensuring no one takes this job."

"Who asked you to follow me?"
