Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2304: Chapter 2305: Pursuing An Baobei (Part 5)

An Baobei still quite likes Ning Wuze as this grandfather, and since Ning Wuze is kind-hearted and so enthusiastic, and mentioned that Ning Zihan usually doesn’t live at home, An Baobei couldn’t refuse, so she agreed.

"Then grandpa Ning, please wait a moment. I’ll pack my luggage and go to E City with you."

"Alright."

...

On the way to E City, An Baobei only talked to Ning Wuze, not a word to Ning Zihan, while Ning Zihan went even further and didn’t say a single word.

Ning Wuze was already used to An Baobei and Ning Zihan being like strangers and didn’t feel anything was off.

Once they got off the plane, Ning Zihan drove to send Ning Wuze and An Baobei to the Ning family, only dropping them off at the gate without getting out of the car, then drove away.

Actually, the Ning family also had a housekeeper and servants, so Ning Wuze wasn’t living alone, but with An Baobei staying there, the Ning family’s atmosphere became much livelier.

An Baobei took five days to understand the actual business operations of Su Chengyu’s bars in E City, and after getting it all figured out, she talked to Su Chengyu over the phone. Thinking there was nothing urgent she needed to do back in S City, An Baobei planned to enjoy herself in E City for a couple of days before heading back.

This day, Ning Wuze, knowing An Baobei would return to S City tomorrow, called Ning Zihan.

"Dad, what’s up?" Ning Zihan asked upon answering the call, his tone indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuations.

Ning Wuze replied gently, "Baobei said she’s going back to S City tomorrow. Come home tonight and have dinner with everyone, even if you all don’t talk, it’s fine; after all, she’s still a child from our extended family."

Ning Zihan initially didn’t want to agree, but considering he hasn’t seen An Baobei in a while since she didn’t broadcast any livestreams, he wasn’t home to see her. Honestly, he kind of wanted to see An Baobei now, even if just for a glance. So, he agreed: "I’ll come home for dinner tonight."

"Hmm, great." No matter the reason, Ning Wuze felt happy that his son would come home for dinner.

Ning Zihan drove home right after finishing work, and on his way home, his front tire suddenly blew. He quickly stopped the car to check, then found many nails scattered on the road, as if someone purposely laid them here, waiting for him to drive over.

He was in the outskirts now, with no sign of people on either side of the road. If it was indeed deliberate...

Realizing this and sensing danger, Ning Zihan took out his phone, intending to call Liang Youxu, but before he could dial, a dozen burly men suddenly emerged from the slope beside the river on the left side of the road, each either wielding machetes or steel pipes, rushing at him.

The leading man’s machete pointed at Ning Zihan: "He’s Ning Zihan, filthy rich. If we kidnap him, we’ll be living the high life from now on!"

Ning Zihan had seen and heard about rich people being kidnapped on the news before, but never imagined it would happen to him. However, he wasn’t panicking.

These people are obviously after money. They likely wouldn’t have any intention to harm him until they secured the ransom.

Moreover, although he never thought it would happen to him, for safety’s sake, as soon as he took over Ning Corporation and appeared before the public, he had a tracking chip implanted under the skin of his left arm. Once Liang Youxu and the others noticed he was missing, they’d track him down using the chip.
