Chapter 117: The Tang Family
Jiang Ning glanced at his mobile phone, at 9:21, and said that it was not early, and it was not too late.
But it can be seen from Tang Muran being alone that she is either hiding from her family, or secretly getting rid of the bodyguards who followed her. Either way, she had to go back as soon as possible. The longer she spends time outside, the more trouble she will have.
If Tang Buqing knew that he and his baby daughter had met again, he might not know what to do with him.
Jiang Ning could feel it from the first time he met Tang Buqing, he recognized his ability, but he didn't like himself. On the one hand, standing in the position of a father, he will not feel at ease when any man gets close to his daughter, let alone an ordinary man.
On the other hand, he knew that Tang Buqing would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him secretly, and after he used Jiang Qu's identity to enter the grand city, Jiang Ning was equivalent to disappearing in Liushi. When he couldn't find his traces, Tang Buqing probably had to wonder if he had another background.
Tang Muran turned around and left, her back disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.
Jiang Ning was a little reluctant, he looked at the direction she left, people came and went, and he still couldn't erase the footprints she had walked.
It is not easy to meet a compatriot in a foreign country, let alone meet someone you love.
Sighing, Jiang Ning put his hands in his pockets, and his mood was complicated.
I really sucked myself...... I couldn't hold back.
He didn't know if Tang Muran would have doubts when she recalled what happened just now after she went back, she just finished telling Jiang Qu that she wanted to eat sugar gourd, Jiang Qu left, and she appeared carrying the sugar gourd.
Forget it, if she really doubts, find an opportunity in the future and tell her everything slowly. Jiang Ning sighed, with the cultivation method of the Tang family, the world that Tang Muran has seen should not be so difficult to understand the existence of human games, although it is very fantastical.
Tang Muran left, and Jiang Ning gradually got tired of the noise of the crowd. He turned and walked in the opposite direction, coming to the exit of Chinatown.
It was getting late, and he was a little tired, so he planned to go back to the hotel to have a good rest.
What you often see in Chinatown is the kind of vintage classic cars, which have a deep sense of age. On the one hand, people who live here do it for nostalgia, and on the other hand, seeing a car like this is like going back to the eighties and nineties, giving people a sense of intimacy.
Even, Jiang Ning also saw the manpower three-wheeled and rickshaw. It is the kind of travel tool used by people in that era to go out in anti-Japanese war films.
A Rolls-Royce pulled abruptly in front of him.
Compared to those nostalgic and retro elements, its appearance is very abrupt. A man in a black suit got out of the driver's seat, bowed to Jiang Ning, and then opened the door of the back seat.
"Mr. Jiang, please come with me. β
Jiang Ning frowned: "You are ......"
"Mr. Tang wants to see you. β
Sure enough, it came, Jiang Ning thought to himself.
He thought that if he left the scene quickly and then returned to the appearance of Chengjiangqu, the people of the Tang family would not react so quickly, and even if he was aware of it, he would have disappeared into the vast sea of people...... It's a pity that it's still a step late.
"Then what if I don't go?" Jiang Ning asked with his hands in his pockets.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't embarrass me. The man said, his face sank.
"What if I want to embarrass you?" Jiang Ning was unrelenting.
"Then I'll have to do it another way. The man said calmly.
Jiang Ning knew what he meant by 'another way', and at least he forcibly abducted himself, or took out a gun and pointed it at his waist...... This is America, and here, it is legal to carry a gun.
Even if he didn't dare to shoot, Jiang Ning didn't dare to really be pointed at a gun.
"Please, Mr. Jiang. The man said.
With a cold snort, Jiang Ning got into the back seat.
The heating in the car was turned on very much, and Jiang Ning even felt a little stuffy when he came in. He took off his coat, and the man sat in the passenger seat.
The equipment in the car is very luxurious, the seats, the sound ...... These bits and pieces add up, and you can probably buy a 200-square-meter house in Liushi.
The man started the car, and they drove out of Chinatown and into the city, with a bustling night scene outside the window.
New York is worthy of being the trade capital of the world, and the prosperity here is not at the same level as that of Willow City. Jiang Ning looked out the window, he was a little dazzling with the neon lights, and the rapidly regressing scenery made him not even have time to appreciate it.
He didn't ask such mentally retarded questions as 'where are we going?' this is the United States, and even if the driver says it, he doesn't necessarily know, and he won't say it.
This is not the first time I have met him, but I don't know why, Jiang Ning is more nervous this time than the last time they met.
It's strange, I haven't been a thief, why should I be weak-hearted?
The car drove into a high-end villa area and stopped in front of a small red bungalow.
Jiang Ning got out of the car and didn't put on his coat. It is only a dozen steps from the parking place to the main entrance of the small bungalow, which is more than a move.
There are two bodyguards standing guard at the main entrance, and when Jiang Ning came in just now, he also found that the security measures in this villa area are very in place, not only are there 24-hour security guards patrolling with them, but they also have to punch in and out, and cars that are not in the community are not allowed to enter and exit.
The life of the rich, Jiang Ning sighed.
I live in a villa that I don't have to worry about collapsing because of the quality of the house, and I eat ingredients that I don't have to worry about spoilage...... They represent the top of this society, the dazzle of the times, and the glamorous side of every country.
The entrance is a lavishly decorated lobby with a staircase extending on each side. The man led Jiang Ning up to the second floor, walked to the door of the study and said, "Please, Mr. Tang is waiting for you." β
Jiang Ning stood at the door of the study, and out of politeness, he knocked on the door.
Bang bang
There was no 'please come in' response, and it seemed like there was no one in there, no one answered.
Jiang Ning frowned, could he just push the door and go in.
He waited nearly a minute before knocking on the door again.
Still no response.
The man had left and disappeared, and the huge villa seemed to be the only one left with him.
He was still standing in the door of the study, and two minutes later, he knocked for the third time.
"Please come in. β
This time, someone responded.
Jiang Ning pushed the door in, and the study room was very large, nearly fifty or sixty square meters. The dΓ©cor is also very atmospheric and clean, flanked by circular bookshelves connecting the floor and ceiling, with a carpet in the center and a large desk behind the sofa.
Behind the desk is a huge floor-to-ceiling window that looks out into the villa's back garden, in front of which a person stands.
Different from the first meeting, Tang Buqing had his back to Jiang Ning when they met for the first time, and this time, he turned his back to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked directly at the young man who came in.
"We'll meet again. Tang Buqing said, and he used a heavy tone on the word again.
"You look unhappy. Jiang Ning said.
"Hear that?" Tang Buqing didn't seem surprised. "My daughter slipped out to play alone, so close to a man holding hands...... How would you feel if it was your daughter?"
Jiang Ning didn't answer his question and said, "I have always admired the ability of the Tang family. β
He said this with two meanings, it seemed that he was praising Tang Buqing, but in fact, he was mocking him for even spying on his own daughter.
"I have to make a statement. Tang Buqing said solemnly. "I'm not talking to you as a member of the Tang family now, nor as Tang Buqing, I'm talking to you as a father. β
