Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

In a remote and dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

After Lu Jinan left with He Xi in his arms, the door was closed.

After a while, a group of people suddenly broke into the room with guns in their hands, shouting, "Stop! Don't move! Put your hands up!"

The man immediately thought that their identities must not be exposed, otherwise it would become a national issue and he would become a spy in their eyes.

They knew that the flower growers would never shoot rashly, and this might be their only way to survive.

Several people exchanged glances and prepared to jump out the window to escape, but our tall policeman was no pushover and had been waiting at the back window for a long time. Ning Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "Kidnapping is no longer tolerable. If you escape again, I will be ashamed to see the old chief."

Fifty policemen stood in the yard escorting ten kidnappers. They all had serious expressions and were fully armed, waiting for Ning Ci's final order.

The man couldn't believe that Lu Jinan actually called the police. He didn't care about He Xi's life or death at all. He wrote in the letter not to call the police, otherwise He Xi's safety could not be guaranteed.

"You are so bold and presumptuous. The situation between the two countries is tense now, and the international environment is not peaceful either. Do you know how big a mess you have caused? You are so ignorant. Take you away." Ning Ci's words showed no tolerance.

Lu Jinan returned home in Ning Ci's police car. The neighbors were curious and concerned about why they came back in a police car. Lu Jinan's reply was the same: "Xier, he suddenly fell ill and was sent back by the elders at home."

Oh, that’s incredible, he’s a police officer.

Ning Ci was shocked when he saw their little home. Was it really so profitable to start a business? Then why not also...

Seeing everyone around him making a lot of money, and with the encouragement of his family, he became more and more tempted. Isn't making money to let the family live a good life what everyone has been striving for these years?

Ahem, now is not the time to think about this. Ning Ci stood in the living room waiting for Lu Jinan. He settled He Xi down before going downstairs. He asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

Lu Jinan shook his head and said weakly, "The medical level here is not enough to perform a craniotomy. I have asked my mother to find a doctor in Beijing to take a look. It may be a misdiagnosis. Let's wait until she wakes up before we can decide."

He knew that Lu Jinan was a man of his own ideas, so he didn't want to say much. The next step was to follow the directions he provided to find out who had beaten He Xi.

"You're a jerk, right?" Ning Ci gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me."

He Xi likes to take baths. She hasn't taken a bath in the past few days, so she must be feeling uncomfortable. After Ning Ci left, Lu Jinan carried He Xi into the bathroom, and both of them took hot baths.

Even though it was summer, Lu Jinan felt stiff and cold all over during the days when He Xi was missing.

The hot bath warmed He Xi's body, and she seemed to be feeling comfortable in the bath. He Xi's drowsy consciousness became clearer, but she still couldn't see anything. She knew that Lu Jinan should be nearby, and she couldn't disappear suddenly like this. She had to at least tell him.

Steam covered the entire bathroom wall, and condensed water droplets slowly slid down to form a shallow river. There was also water vapor on the mirror, and the entire bathroom seemed to have become a sauna.

At this moment, the bathroom door was opened. He Xi felt someone pick her up and her bathrobe was loosely worn on her body. When she came out, she suddenly felt much colder and shuddered.

Lu Jinan looked down at her slightly exposed waistline, and a smile barely appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know you don't want to see me, I will put you on the bed later and you can ask your system to check your condition."

He Xi nodded.

He Xi was put on the bed. She refused Lu Jinan's offer to wipe her hair. She was too tired and didn't want to hold on for a moment longer.

She fell into a deep sleep and didn't know when she entered the space. When Lu Jinan came in, she was no longer on the bed. He hesitated for a while and then lay down where He Xi had been.

There is still He Xi's body temperature left on it, and the pillow is also wet. How can you sleep comfortably without wiping your head?

One wrong step leads to another, because his change caused the subsequent chain reaction, but he didn't want to let go of He Xi's hand, and those who hurt He Xi must pay the price.

Lu Jinan slept for a day and a night before he regained his energy. When he woke up, he had a headache. It seemed that sleeping with a wet head was really not good.

The doorbell rang downstairs. Lu Jinan changed into pajamas and went downstairs to open the door.

"Uncle Ning." Lu Jinan's voice was hoarse.

Ning Ci frowned: "Why did you catch a cold? Catching a cold in the summer is the most uncomfortable."

Lu Jinan shook his head: "It's okay, just take some medicine."

"I have found the person you are looking for. Here is his address. We also found a female comrade named Hu Qian who was in close contact with him."

"Hu Qian?" Lu Jinan's eyes were cold. "Thank you, Uncle Ning. I understand."

…………

It was still the alley that gave Hu Qian nightmares. If they hadn't said they had completed the task she assigned them, she would never come here again.

Er Laizi and his brother smiled condescendingly at her, and his brother looked her up and down with ill intent, his eyes revealing nothing at all.

"Oh, my sister is here. I miss her so much." Er Laizi bared his big yellow teeth. One could smell the foul stench from his mouth from a long distance away. God knows what she went through that day.

Hu Qian felt nauseous and stepped back repeatedly. There was no way out for a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Behind her was an ice-cold wall. She had no way out since the first time she stepped into this place.

Er Laizi and his men grabbed Hu Qian's wrist and carried her into the house. Er Laizi drooled: "Sister, brother has been waiting for you for several days, come quickly."

"no, do not want……"

"Help me..."

The subordinate smiled obscenely: "Don't shout, save your energy, there are more of us and you should save some energy to go home."

When it comes to multiple people versus one person, the answer is self-evident.

"No...don't touch me—"

"Get lost..."

The subordinates were still joking: "I told you to get out of here?"

"I told you to go away. She let me go first."

When everything was ready, the police rushed in. With a bang, the door was pushed open. "Don't move. Hold your head and squat."

The policeman who rushed in was a man. He just glanced at the woman on the bed, turned his face away immediately, and then took off his police uniform and covered her with it.

Before putting on her clothes, Hu Qian's mind was blank. She knew what would happen to her son, but she did not hesitate to see He Xi who was facing the same situation. As a result...

Her tears flowed silently as she walked out of the alley with the help of the police and met Lu Jinan's narrow eyes.

He exuded a murderous aura from head to toe, but when he met Hu Qian's eyes, he smiled: "How about this? Is this what you wanted? I wonder if my calling the police has delayed your good fortune?"

"You?..." He actually watched her being humiliated with indifference. Hu Qian was furious but couldn't stop laughing, "Hahahaha, do you think He Xi is okay? Judging from her looks, she must be enjoying it."

Lu Jinan was neither angry nor annoyed, and said calmly: "Have you seen He Xi? Something went wrong with the kidnapping, and you were the only one who was insulted from beginning to end."

"What?" Hu Qian couldn't believe it. She was humiliated twice but He Xi was not humiliated once.
