Chapter 75 Reaction
"Suning, Suning, Ningning, can't we just say we shouldn't get involved in dangerous things?"

"Do you think I'm willing?"

Su Ning squeezed out these words through her teeth, her cheeks aching from clenching them. Looking back now, she couldn't help but marvel at this unfathomable, mystical fortune.

"Yeah, you were just doing a normal mission when the person you contacted unexpectedly turned out to be an enemy tank! Amazing, amazing!"

"Can you go back?"

With a blank expression, Su Ning pressed her face against his, feeling that if she listened to a few more words, the injury on the back of her head might suddenly worsen.

"Hahaha, I was just trying to distract you because I didn't want your wound to hurt!"

Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Fu Jiaming glanced at the empty hospital bed. "Since you're staying overnight, I'll bring you your things when Yan Qi comes back later."

"No need, I can still move..."

"Hey Suning, we're friends, do you know what friends are? You're always so polite and afraid of causing trouble, that's being too distant and it's really hurtful!"

Is that too formal?

Perhaps it's due to my personality, but I don't have many friends who can truly understand me. Even He Yue, who used to be my closest friend, mostly helped me and solved my problems. As for myself?
Since her maternal grandfather and mother passed away one after another, and since Xu Zixin remarried, she has learned to stop relying on others.

She used to lack nothing, and she never needed help with her studies or daily life, so she probably feels...unaccustomed to it.

If you genuinely accept them as friends, then you must learn to accept their kindness with equanimity.

Any relationship requires mutual effort and joint management; this is the biggest takeaway I got from meeting them in Xiangnan.

Then... let's try a change.

"Okay, you go."

"That's right!"

Fu Jiaming clapped his hands, looking at him with a "you're a quick learner" expression. "So, how about I set up the connection for you?"

So this is what it was all about. Thinking back to my confident promises, I realized I hadn't even seen the person. And when I finally caught them, they just walked right into a den of thieves.

Su Ning's face flushed slightly as she cleared her throat. "With connections and background, you don't need a complete idiot!"

"That's right, that's right... cough cough, well, just turn around and you'll see. After all, having these things is a symbol of strength, right?"

When you first enter society, you always have to go through a lot of trials and tribulations.

Having gone through the same process myself, and having learned from my mistakes, Fu Jiaming understands this all too well.

"Wait a minute, buddy, I'll get everything arranged for you tomorrow. I guarantee you'll complete the mission smoothly!"

"Thank you, Jiaming."

"Hey, stop being so polite. I really appreciate it if you'd treat me to a big meal later!"

"no problem."

"cough~"

Yanbei, who had returned, heard the two laughing and talking before he even entered the house. His anger, which had not yet dissipated, was now tinged with a sinister air: It seems that after he recovers, he will have to find a good brother to practice with.

"Achoo~"

He sneezed for no reason, and the hair on his back stood on end as someone stared at him. Fu Jiaming turned around and saw the expression that made his scalp tingle: Damn, this kid looks like he really wants to beat him up!
He quickly stood up, subtly giving up the best spot, and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Suning, keep these safe."

"how?"

"I ran into an acquaintance outside who was delivering these things, so I asked him to give them to me first."

The money, banknotes, bracelets, and watches were all returned intact.

After receiving the items, Suning didn't put them back on but stuffed them all into her bag.

To be honest, she has disliked strangers touching her things since she was a child. The thought that this bracelet and watch had been touched and used by that woman Hua Qiao makes her feel disgusted.

Seeing the disgust and resistance in her eyes, Yan Bei glanced at the canvas bag under her pillow and thought to himself: It seems that Grandma has another pair of black jade bracelets as a family heirloom.
As for the watch…

Her eyes, which were used to drawing line drawings, were like rulers; she could accurately measure the size of her wrist in just a few glances.

"By the way, the person from J asked me to pass on a message: Professors Xu and Gu have been transferred to a safe place, which is also where they are needed, due to their identities."

Before leaving, Professor Xu Yin said there were some things she hoped to say to you in person another time, so she left without a word, hoping to meet you again someday.

Thinking of the credit and awards the couple had given her, I wonder what this girl had done to earn their favor.

The influence of those two at the research institute will only grow stronger in the future. With such powerful backers, Su Ning's future path will be much more secure, no matter what she chooses to do. Yan Bei was genuinely happy for her; at least the iron rod she took wasn't for nothing.

"I see."

Thinking of the ambition of the "Two Bombs, One Satellite" project mentioned in the Daily News, Su Ning sincerely prayed that the two professors and all the predecessors who struggled in it would succeed as soon as possible!

"Because of the special nature of the matter, the commendation and reward can only be done privately. Be prepared, it probably won't be long."

"Ah."

He nodded to indicate that he understood, but privately Suning was not particularly enthusiastic or concerned about this matter.

However, these things may very well become another layer of protection for her in the near future.

The identity of "red capitalists" will no longer be something that can be altered by those with ulterior motives; it would be good enough if they became a threat.

"It's getting late, and neither of you are fully recovered. I'm fine, so I'll head back now."

"No way! Would the two of us just leave you here alone?"

Although I felt this guy was a super bright third wheel, having him around made it more legitimate for me to stay.

Considering he was still somewhat useful, Yanbei's gaze towards him was no longer so cold. "Jiaming is right, we are indeed worried about you being here alone."

"If you feel it's inconvenient for the two of us men, I'll have my sister come over and keep you company?"

"No need to trouble Sister Yanxi any further, it's not long before dawn... Let's leave it at that then."

……

District J in Shanghai.

With the two people by his side and taking care of him at the hospital, Su Ning had a much better night during his observation period.

Meanwhile, Tong Taihua and Qiao, who were locked in a dark room and only received perfunctory treatment, were suffering greatly.

Especially when he received a call from his younger brother, who specifically asked him to take good care of someone, Yan An, he was naturally pleased to oblige his brother, who rarely made such a request.

Moreover, he always insisted on a firm hand when dealing with enemies, and he never intended for the two of them to have an easy time.

……

Beijing, steel factory staff quarters.

Having made all the preparations and waiting for Xu Zixin's acceptance letter from Xiangnan University, He Yue finally felt relieved on this day.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, He Yue couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the admission notice in her hand over and over again.

So what if my studies aren't as good as Suning's?
Now she's a worker, while I'm a soon-to-be college student, and after graduation, no matter where I'm assigned, I'll be a leader.

Besides his face, what else can Su Ning compare to himself?
I have a friend who always plays the supporting role, always there to make me look good.

Thinking of the past, of her past inferiority and attempts to please others, He Yue's eyes were filled with darkness.

"Suning, you've squandered a winning hand, that's the perfect description of you."

He Yue shook her head as if in regret, but the smile on her face gradually turned into sarcasm.

She gave up a university degree she had in hand, and the comfortable life of a factory manager's daughter, only to throw a tantrum and run away from home after being mistreated. Tsk~

Without these accolades, what good could it possibly be!

"My best friend, I really want to see you soon..."

……

The Fu family in Qinghe Lane, Beijing.

After dinner, everyone gathered and opened the two large packages sent by Suning, receiving a heartfelt gift from my daughter in Hunan.

Grandpa Fu, who already slept little and was worried about her, suffered from insomnia. He fanned himself with a palm leaf fan and stared at the old tree in the yard, lost in thought.

After seeing Zhang Ze and the other person return to Beijing a day earlier, he couldn't help but keep thinking about the conversation that Yaya had with him the night before she left.

As Zhang Ze had guessed, he also felt that the quirky girl's chess moves were perhaps too unconventional.

No matter how you look at it, this layout doesn't seem to be aimed at Xu Zixin at all.

"Old man Su Ting, what exactly is our little girl up to? Don't you pride yourself on being so smart? Why don't you come to me in a dream and tell me?"

"I'm increasingly unable to understand the current situation. I'm really getting old; I can't deny it anymore..."
