Chapter 383 - The Suspects

Chapter 383: The Suspects
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What was the most touching love confession in the world? That would be when the two are standing on equal positions, using the plainest words to write a warming long poem.
But her heart was as hard as ice and there was no way to melt it.
Xia Ning suddenly took a sip of the milk tea. Maybe because she was drinking too fast, she got choked by the tea at once.
Cough Cough… A few severe coughs followed.
Qiao Yu put down the plastic bags at once and patted Xia Ning on the back.
Are you alright? Drink it slowly. No one is fighting with you.



Xia Ning lowered her head, with an unclear face.
After that, the two sat there without talking. Xia Ning leaned against the chair and fell asleep.
When she woke up, Qiao Yu was nowhere to be found.
Xia Ning looked around and saw the blanket on herself. She raised her eyebrows. He must have left.
After too much milk tea, she wanted to use the restroom.
She stood up and put the blanket on the chair and took a look at Zheng Ziming who was in the ward. He was still asleep. She turned around and walked towards the restroom.
When she passed by the stairs, Xia Ning heard a voice.

Go find out who tampered with the car in the hotel. Find that person at any cost!


Also, do not let Xia Ning know about this.

Qiao Yu emphasized. Remembering what she looked like when she knew Zheng Ziming was hurt, he felt a bit unsettled in his heart. If she ever learned who was hurting Zheng Ziming behind the scenes, she most likely would fight with her life.


But if his woman wanted to take revenge on anyone, she would not have to do anything herself.
Suddenly, he felt someone looking at him. She turned around and saw Xia Ning at the door. He hung up and wanted to say something. But Xia Ning was faster.
I’m sorry. I overheard you on the phone.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly and wanted to talk.

I want to know everything!
Xia Ning looked at him with determination.
Qiao Yu stared at her.
I can take care of this one.


No, this is very important to me. Not just for Zheng Ziming.
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu.
Don’t forget, the person who was going to drive the car was me.

Qiao Yu frowned even more and did not speak anymore.
As a matter of fact, Xia Ning was right.
Not all cars in the garage were tampered with but the ones that were used by the crew were all off.
Therefore, this was premeditated and the person was very likely aiming for Xia Ning. Because only Xia Ning would have to drive one of the cars among everyone.


Before the filming that day, not everyone knew which car was going to be used. That was why a few cars got tampered with.
Obviously, someone wanted Xia Ning to drive a car where the brake was not working and run into an accident.
Therefore, someone on the crew was onto Xia Ning. No other person would know which cars belonged to the crew unless there was a mole.

What do you want to do?
Qiao Yu asked suddenly. No matter what she wanted do, he needed to ask about her opinion to be respectful. Plus, he could protect her better.
Xia Ning curled her lips.
Of course, I need to call the police.
She looked at Qiao Yu.
I’m not planning on settling this easily.

Qiao Yu took a look at her and understood what was on her mind immediately. At this time, if they told the police, it would actually lull the enemy’s vigilance. Because this almost hurt both him and Xia Ning. If they did nothing, the people behind it would be more alert and think they were up to something.

Do you have any suspects in mind?

Xia Ning took a glance at Qiao Yu.
Yes, there are two!

Chapter 384: Woke Up
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the discussion, both of them went back to rest. The next morning, Zheng Ziming was better as well. He woke up.


Big hospitals were after all better than smaller ones. The advanced equipment made a big difference.
The moment Zheng Ziming woke up, he was mumbling because of the pain. There was also a fracture in his arm. He had a plaster cast and could not move. Therefore, he could only mumble.
Xia Ning stood by his bed and stared at Zheng Ziming who looked sick. She put her hands around her chest and sneered.
Was it fun to drive?

Zheng Ziming looked back at Xia Ning and said with a wronged face,
I’m already like this and you’re still putting salt on my wound. Do you have any conscience?


Can you make a living using your conscience? If you had a good conscience, you would know I would be worried about you. Would you still make your own decision and drive that problematic car?
Xia Ning looked at Zheng Ziming with a serious face.
Zheng Ziming rolled his eyes, looked at the ceiling and said slowly,
Why don’t I follow what you’re talking about?


Of course, you don’t follow. Just keep pretending.
Xia Ning sneered and turned her face to the side.
Zheng Ziming saw Xia Ning not comforting him but instead sounding like she was upset. He pouted and said in a low voice,
Of course, it’s my bad, okay? Don’t be mad.

Xia Ning turned around and look at Zheng Ziming with a helpless face.
How many times have I told you, you don’t need to test drive cars for me? You see, this time there was a problem. Zheng Ziming, how old are you? Can you think about yourself before you do something?


No matter how old I am, I will always protect you!
Zheng Ziming stared at Xia Ning and said with a straight face.
This will never change. Asteria, I don’t think I’m wrong.



Seeing the determination on Zheng Ziming’s face, Xia Ning frowned and went into silence for a while. She then said,
I know you’re doing this for me but I can take care of this kind of stuff. It’s not like you don’t know I’m very good at driving. When I was still racing, I ran into bigger problems than this and I was still fine.

She was fine but he had nightmares for days. Her racing was like playing with her life at stake! Zheng Ziming complained silently in his heart.

But based on your driving skills, even if the brake was not working, it shouldn’t have been a big deal,
Xia Ning said suddenly. It was not like they had never driven this kind of car before.
When these words were out, Zheng Ziming was a bit embarrassed,
That was because I was worried about you, okay? When I realized something was wrong with this car, I was afraid the people behind this would do something to you. I got to a crossing and hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. Therefore…

Xia Ning:
…
Could you be more stupid?
Zheng Ziming saw Xia Ning’s face looking better and asked,
Are you okay?

He thought this was not that simple. Tampering with cars can lead to fatal accidents.

I’m fine but the car I drove also had a malfunctioning brake. Therefore, the people behind this were trying to get to me no matter what,
Xia Ning answered.
Zheng Ziming heard this and got agitated immediately. He wanted to stand up but his body…

Ah!
It was so painful that he shouted out loud. He ground his teeth and looked at his mummy-like arm.
What the fck? Can I still live?
he cursed loudly.

Well, take a break,
Xia Ning said in a low voice.
Don’t worry. I will take care of this.

Zheng Ziming knew the best about what Xia Ning was capable of. So he started to feel a little relieved.

Oh yes, Asteria, this is K City. How did you bring me here? Is anybody else from the crew here as well?

Just as Xia Ning was ready to speak, the door was opened. A tall figure walked in and turned to Xia Ning.
Breakfast is ready!
