Xie Qingxuan got in the car, but saw Lu Ning still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning came to his senses, said everything was fine, and got into the car.

As the car started, Lu Ning poked the system.

"System, I wonder if the villain has discovered something."

[How could that be? No one except the host knows about the existence of the system. Please rest assured, host.]

"How do you know that my discovery is related to you?" Lu Ning raised her eyebrows. She was just trying to trick the system.

Although she noticed that some of Xie Qingying's behaviors were strange, she couldn't guess what was going on.

After all, she had seen Xie Qingxing staring at the top of her head more than once before.

Thinking about this, Lu Ning subconsciously looked at the progress bar above his head.

At present, the health progress has been significantly improved. As for the other side quests, since there is no progress on Lu Qing's side for the time being, it is still at zero.

After hearing Lu Ning's question, the system chose to go offline again and pretend to be dead.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Ning rested in the room while Xie Qingxuan was sorting out documents in the living room.

The matter of Chi Yu will not be let go just like that, but if we want to settle accounts, we have to wait until Chi Yu wakes up.

A few hours later, Xie Qingying received a call from Secretary Zhao.

Chi Yu died because rescue efforts failed.

Xie Qingxing still looked calm about this, and asked Secretary Zhao to handle the rest.

After learning the news of Chi Yun's death, Lu Ning fell into deep thought.

According to the original plot, Chi Yu would live safely all the way to the end, after all, Jiang Yunxiao still had to rely on her to steal Xie's business secrets.

And now the plot has been rewritten again.

In other words, the world's will is not as strong as Lu Ning imagined.

As long as she handles it well, the plot development can still be changed!

Lu Ning slowed down his breathing and then stood up.

……

That afternoon, Lu Ning received a call from Qi Yuan, saying that Professor Lin had recovered and hoped to meet with Lu Ning so that he could thank him in person.

Lu Ning did not refuse and asked if he could bring his family along.

Qi Yuan just paused briefly and said of course.

The meeting place was set at a restaurant near the hospital.

Lu Ning took Xie Qingxing with him.

Xie Qingying had been planning how to meet Professor Lin these past two days, and Lu Ning had helped him again this time.

When the two arrived, Qi Yuan was already waiting at the door.

"Lu Ning, Mr. Xie." Qi Yuan had already found out Xie Qingxing's identity after their last meeting, so when Lu Ning mentioned bringing family members, he thought of who that person was.

Fortunately, the teacher did not refuse and agreed to the meeting.

According to Professor Lin's original words, it was Lu Ning who saved them, so there was nothing wrong with just bringing someone to meet him.

The two men walked into the private room and saw Professor Lin sitting there.

Although the old man still looked a little sick, he seemed to be in much better spirits.

When he saw Lu Ning and the other two, he immediately smiled and said, "These are the family members you said you would bring with you, right?"

Lu Ning nodded in response.

Xie Qingxing didn't know about the "family members" yet, but he reacted quickly and understood what Professor Lin meant immediately.

A few people sat down. Since they had just been discharged from the hospital, they naturally chose light meals.

Professor Lin thanked Lu Ning and then started chatting.

During the meal, Shen Heng couldn't help but pull Qi Yuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "When do you think the teacher will choose to speak?"

They knew Xie Qingying's identity, and naturally they also knew that the native forest of Linshan Village had been sold to the Xie family.

If they wanted to preserve the native forest, they would have to deal with Xie Qingying.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I guess no more than five minutes."

Shen Heng blinked, "I guess no more than three minutes."

Professor Lin standing by glanced back at the two of them, calling them disobedient and treacherous.

"Mr. Xie, there is something I want to discuss with you." Professor Lin cleared his throat, looked at Xie Qingxing and spoke.

Xie Qingxuan looked over when he heard the voice and said, "It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with Professor Lin."

"It's about the native forest in Linshan Village." Xie Qingxing directly stated his purpose, and he and Lin Yuting hit it off immediately.

Lin Yuting was originally thinking about how to persuade Xie Qingxing to agree with his idea, but unexpectedly he came up with the same idea.

……

Two days later, Lu Ning left Linshan County and returned to Ningcheng, while Xie Qingxing stayed in Linshan County to continue following up on the project.

Before leaving, Lu Ning met Li Yaoxin.

She was pale and listless, and looked as if she had aged ten years.

The moment she saw Lu Ning, Li Yaoxin cried out, "Lu Ning, I didn't expect that they would team up with those people to deceive me. They were not caught by those people at all. They took the money from those people and tricked me to go there, and I almost... almost killed you."

Li Yaoxin cried and shed tears.

Lu Ning knew that the 'they' she was referring to were the Li family.

She saw hatred towards the Li family in Li Yaoxin's eyes, but she didn't really see any apology towards her.

Lu Ning didn't say anything else. Li Yaoxin and the Li family would pay the price for what they had done.

As for those who wanted to plot against Lu Ning, Lu Ning was also investigating them.

The mission time is limited, and Lu Ning cannot continue to stay in Linshan County and waste his life.

She also has to find He Xiran's whereabouts and save Lu Qing by the way.

On the day he returned to Ningcheng, Lu Ning went straight back to the Lu family.

Lu Ning greeted Lu's mother in advance, and after confirming that Lu Qing had moved back home, she decided to come back to check on Lu Qing's situation.

I don’t know how my hot-tempered elder brother’s minor injuries are recovering.

As Lu Ning stepped into the Lu family’s door, she heard laughter coming from the living room.

In the living room, Lu's mother was sitting on the sofa, and next to her sat Lu Qing and a woman of similar age to Lu's mother.

The woman looked young and was talking to Lu's mother with a smile.

Seeing Lu Ning coming back, Lu's mother hurriedly stood up and went to greet her.

"You're finally back. Why did you suddenly go to such a remote place like Linshan? What if you encountered danger?" Lu's mother only found out yesterday that Lu Ning went to Linshan County, but she was unaware of what Lu Ning met in Linshan County.

Lu Ning walked over and saw the woman sitting on the sofa slowly raise her head.

"Xiao Ning, why didn't you say hello to your Aunt Cheng when you saw her?" When Lu's mother saw Lu Ning looking at Cheng Qian with a strange expression, she couldn't help but remind her.

Lu Ning didn’t know Cheng Qian, and this person didn’t appear in the plot line given by the system.

I don’t know why, but when Lu Ning saw Cheng Qian for the first time, she felt that she looked familiar.

Very strange feeling.

"Hello, Aunt Cheng." After coming back to her senses, Lu Ning walked forward and greeted her.

Soon Lu Ning learned from Lu's mother that Cheng Qian was her college classmate. They had been in contact over the years and she had often visited the Lu family.

It’s just that the original body’s attitude towards Cheng Qian had always been lukewarm, so Lu Ning’s attitude just now did not arouse Lu’s mother’s suspicion.

After the greetings, Lu Ning walked over and sat down next to Lu Qing.

Almost at the moment Lu Ning approached, Lu Qing's expression suddenly changed.

The next second, Lu Ning's phone rang.

She looked down and saw the transfer sent by Lu Qing.

Note: hush money.
