Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Xia Ningning Disappears _1
Ye Ming smiled and reassured, "Why would you think like that? You’re still a beginner, and it’s only your first day learning. It’s normal to be a bit slow."
"After all, the way of cultivation requires enough patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lele’s eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "What? The thing you’re teaching me is the method of cultivation?"
"You really know how to cultivate?"
Ye Ming smiled and nodded, saying, "Is it that strange?"
Xu Lele shook her head, very happy, and said, "I’ve heard about cultivators before. I used to think it was all make-believe, but to think the man I fancy is a cultivator!"
"My judgment is indeed never wrong; no wonder you’re so remarkable!"
Ye Ming pinched Xu Lele’s nose and said, "Of course, the man you’ve set your sights on, how could he be anything less?"
Before his words finished, Xu Lele’s gaze had already become infatuated.
Her face drew closer, pressing her lips against Ye Ming’s.
The two kissed deeply, only parting after a long while.
By then, Xu Lele’s face was flushed red, and she shyly looked down, suddenly saying, "This feeling is so wonderful. If only it could last forever, how great would that be!"
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, then asked with surprise, "Why can’t it last forever?"
Xu Lele changed the subject and said, "By the way, Ye Ming, if I die, let Ningning take care of you, alright? She’s my best friend. You have to promise me; you absolutely can’t mistreat her!"
This statement seemed very abrupt, giving Ye Ming a sudden jolt. Could it be that Xu Lele had already sensed something?
Ye Ming firmly said, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could you die? Aren’t you perfectly fine now?"
"With me here, you won’t die. Moreover, this kind of ominous talk, you are not allowed to say it ever again!"
Xu Lele pouted and said, "Don’t lie to me. I already know everything. The jade pendant on my neck has undergone changes. It’s now connected to you, so it must have been modified by you to have some special ability, right?"
Ye Ming gave a wry smile. Xu Lele was incredibly perceptive, having already seen through the mystery within.
He no longer hid anything and said firmly, "Just be at ease, I will definitely not let you die!"
"You must carry the jade pendant with you at all times and never take it off. As long as you can do this, you will absolutely not die."
After saying this, Ye Ming had already made up his mind. He had to find a cure for Xu Lele as soon as possible, to resolve her concerns for the future.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Xu Lele obediently nodded, saying with a giggle, "That feeling just now, I want it again!"
Ye Ming smiled faintly and closed his eyes.
But just at that moment, the urgent ringing of a phone shattered the sweet atmosphere between the two.
Ye Ming picked up the phone to see a string of unfamiliar numbers.
Upon answering, an anxious voice came from the other end, "Mr. Ye, I am Miss Xia’s bodyguard. Something terrible has happened."
"What happened?" Ye Ming’s brow furrowed, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
The bodyguard on the phone said, "We were covertly protecting the young lady when suddenly a group of people jumped out and kidnapped her!"
"We have lost track of the young lady. Can you help us?"
Ye Ming asked, "Tell me your location!"
After finding out what had happened, Ye Ming immediately set out to leave.
At this moment, Xu Lele came over, her face full of anxiety, and said, "Ye Ming, you must rescue Ningning!"
"Don’t worry, just stay home and recover from your injuries!" Ye Ming said.
The news of Xia Ningning’s kidnapping spread instantly throughout Yanjing, shaking the entire Xia Family.
The Family Head of the Xia Family immediately declared that at any cost, he would have Xia Ningning rescued.
No one could bear the wrath of the Xia Family.
Even Yanjing Martial Department was alerted, and Yang Tianxiong made a decisive decision, dispatching the Falcon Squad, with the instruction, "Find Miss Xia at all costs! Apprehend the criminals who kidnapped Miss Xia alive; do not kill them, they must be brought back!"
After receiving the order, Wang Yating immediately led the Falcon Squad into action, scouring the entire city for Xia Ningning’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Ye Ming’s heart was filled with rage. He rushed out the door, sprinting towards the location the bodyguard had mentioned.
During his absence, it was Xia Ningning who had resolved all the family’s issues. Xia Ningning had been a great help to him, and he would certainly not let anything happen to her.
Upon arriving at the scene, Ye Ming saw Xia Ningning’s car, which was now severely deformed, and Xia Ningning herself was nowhere to be seen.
Two bodyguards hurried over. They were more or less injured and looked very disheveled.
After a brief exchange, Ye Ming learned what had happened.
These bodyguards were secretly protecting Xia Ningning and had to follow her at all times. However, just moments ago, as Xia Ningning was passing this place, a van blocked her way.
Then, the van aggressively hit Xia Ningning’s car, and after her car was rendered inoperable, a group of strong men got out and roughly took Xia Ningning away.
The bodyguards immediately rushed to the rescue, but they were no match for the strong men and were beaten to the ground.
After learning the situation, Ye Ming’s face gradually grew colder.
He did not have a powerful network of connections; the only person he could rely on was Feng Yun.
He immediately called Feng Yun, saying seriously, "Immediately access all of Yanjing’s surveillance cameras and find Xia Ningning’s whereabouts!"
...
A person’s disappearance stirred up a storm across the city, but at that moment, in a small hillside cave on the outskirts of Yanjing City, several strong men were squatting on the ground as if waiting for something.
Behind them, Xia Ningning was tied up and placed on the ground, struggling fruitlessly.
At that time, one of the underlings revealed a malicious smile and said to his boss, "Big brother, how much longer do we have to wait?"
The leading strong man replied impatiently, "Soon, the financier will call soon!"
The underling rubbed his hands together, asking lecherously, "Then, can we have a little taste first?"
"This girl looks too damn alluring; I’m getting hard to hold back! Since that Young Master Wan hasn’t arrived yet, why don’t we enjoy ourselves a bit first?"
The leading strong man slapped him across the face, cursing loudly, "Have you lost your mind with lust? We’re in for big business here! It’s about the money, not the person."
The underling smacked his lips, still not giving up, and said, "But she’s really beautiful, much more than those hostesses at the nightclubs. I’ve never seen such a pretty girl before. How about we take less money? Let’s have our fun first?"
