Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 158 The Unexpected Trap

"Let me know you arrived safely."

"Don't just think about..."

"You should take care of yourself too..."

Monday, March 10, 2025, 8:3 AM...

Ning Bishu stood at the door of Mu Shanming's house, entwined with her, reluctant to part.

Because Ning Bishu's performance last night was too good, Mu Shanming, who had already been seduced, looked at him with a sad expression, his eyes showing a hint of unspeakable bitterness and sorrow.

After all, she had personally sent her man to see another woman. Even though Attorney Mu verbally said that people of the martial arts world don't care about trivial matters and that this was nothing to worry about, she was still clearly unable to accept it emotionally and subconsciously.

But Ning Bishu was different. "Alright, you should get to work soon too. There are still over 200 defendants waiting for you to deal with." Feeling that he had been affectionate enough, he hugged Mu Shanming and then let go decisively. Under the admiring gazes of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, he smiled faintly, waved to Mu Shanming, and walked into the elevator without any hesitation.

A short while later, a Land Rover drove out of the underground parking garage of Building 12 in Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan.

Driving, Zhang Long exclaimed with admiration, "President Ning, you're awesome! Your third uncle cheats on you like a thief, afraid your aunt will find out. You actually dared to do it openly, and Attorney Mu isn't even jealous at all!"

"What makes my third uncle so great compared to me?" Ning Bishu smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm. "Without my third aunt, his whole family would fall apart. What makes him dare to let my third aunt know?"

"In this world, whoever controls the allocation of resources holds the initiative. Besides, I owe no one, rely on no one, and am not afraid of anyone, so what is it that I can't talk about openly?"

Zhao Hu nodded repeatedly: "The boss is right! He's so cultured!"

Zhang Long hurriedly added, "Luckily, Ah Hu and I turned to the light in time, otherwise who knows when Ye Qihui would have opened her mouth and Lao Ning would have fired us. I heard from people these past few days that Lao Ning's factory is about to go under. That guy surnamed Zhang was arrested, and their factory was taken over by the city. They haven't returned a single order. Lao Ning has worked for nothing this time!"

Zhao Hu said, "They owe more than 20 million yuan in loans. The general manager has run away, and now it's Vice President Miao who's in charge."

"Huh? It ran away again?"

"Yes, Gan Zhibiao, who works under Vice President Miao, told me."

As Zhang Long and Zhao Hu chatted, they started talking about Ning Guorong's factory's predicament.

They were both very familiar with the people and things in the factory.

Ning Bishu listened silently without interrupting, treating it as gossip. After a while, his mind began to wander, his thoughts drifting between how long he would stay in Jinling after arriving, whether he should stay until Xiao Taotao finished his exams, or take some time in between to visit Mu Shanming, and perhaps work out and get some abs.

Just as he was getting more and more into the details, imagining how Xiao Taotao would call him "Uncle" when he had eight-pack abs, his phone suddenly buzzed twice and a text message popped up.

"Honey, I'm pregnant."

Ning Bishu blinked and instantly woke up.

He wondered if he had misread it, so he quickly clicked on it.

Upon closer inspection, my mind went blank for a few seconds.

It was sent by Chen Tingting.

Before this, she had been sending "Husband, I miss you" or "Husband, I love you" every day for a full month. That is, she hadn't stopped since the day he left Shanghai last time.

Ning Bishu originally intended to handle the situation calmly.

When this woman gives up on her own, the matter will be over.

The result is now...

You're giving me this kind of treatment?!
“???” Ning Bishu immediately replied with three greetings.

Chen Tingting immediately sent a photo.

Two red lines were clearly visible on the pregnancy test stick.

Worried that Ning Bishu might not understand, she added, "Two lines mean it's positive, there's a possibility of pregnancy. My period hasn't come this month, I took a test this morning. I was thinking of going to the hospital for a second check first. But I couldn't help but tell you. Honey, if I really am pregnant, can I have our baby?" *Damn it, you've already asked that, do you think I'd let you get an abortion? Am I that kind of animal?* Ning Bishu rolled his eyes and replied, "I'll give you two million, you can get it done, and I'll give you another 20,000 every month after that."

Several minutes passed before Chen Tingting replied, "Honey, I don't want money. Even if you don't want me anymore, I can raise the baby on my own. But could you please come see me? I really miss you."

Holy crap...

So you're going to follow my lead?
Do you think I would be soft-hearted?
Ning Bishu gritted his teeth.

He looked up and asked Zhang Long, "Brother Long, how many hours will it take to drive directly to Shanghai?"

"It takes about five or six hours," Zhang Long said. "About the same as taking the high-speed train."

Ning Bishu hesitated for two seconds before saying directly, "Turn around and go to Shanghai."

"Huh? Oh..." Zhang Long quickly changed direction and reset the navigation.

From the center console, Lin Chi-ling's sweet voice rang out: "Change the destination, readjust the route for you~!"

Zhao Hu grinned and said, "Damn, that's so slutty!"

Ning Bishu also agreed with a dark face: "Turn it off, turn it off. All our attention is on this crappy voice message."

Zhang Long immediately fell silent, turned off the navigation voice, and switched to news broadcast...

……

"Professor X, what are your thoughts on the National Fitness Campaign proposed by the National Health Commission yesterday?"

"I think the three-year nationwide weight loss plan proposed by the National Health Commission is very necessary. Currently, the proportion of obese and overweight people in our country, especially those under the age of 45, has reached a staggering 36%."

That means one in three young people needs to lose weight.

This ratio, it can be said, has already directly and concretely, and may even continue to do so for a long time, affect the normal life, work, and study of our entire country and society.

Obesity will seriously hinder our country's future development and will also affect various aspects, including life expectancy, medical resource supply, and even fertility rate. As you can see, when a person is overweight, their appearance and energy are naturally not as good. In today's internet parlance, their looks are not as appealing.

We all know that young girls like to date good-looking boys.

"What 'puppy dog' or 'wolf dog'? To put it bluntly, it's all about handsome guys. And if a handsome guy gets fat, he won't look good either, so it directly affects our fertility..."

Ning Bishu listened to the radio talking about losing weight and having children, and he felt like someone was deliberately targeting him.

He closed his eyes slightly annoyed and simply pretended not to hear.

For the next few hours, the car sped along the highway.

Aside from a short rest stop at a service area where the three of them had a meal and refueled the car, Zhao Hu took over driving from Zhang Long in the afternoon.

Finally, after nearly seven hours away from home, around 3 p.m., Ning Bishu's Land Rover slowly pulled into a roadside parking space directly opposite a building in Shanghai.

Ning Bishu made a phone call.

Less than ten minutes later, Chen Tingting, dressed in work clothes, ran downstairs.

Then, filled with anxiety, they crossed the road.

Amidst the bustling traffic, they excitedly found Ning Bishu.

As soon as the back door opened, Chen Tingting rushed forward and threw herself into Ning Bishu's arms, her eyes filled with pitiful vulnerability. She choked out, "Honey, I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Ning Bishu was too lazy to correct her anymore.

He simply said to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, "Brother Long, go to the nearest top-tier hospital."
