Manda’s lips twitched. She finally understood.
“Let’s go, get in the car.” Feng Jichuan escorted Manda into the car.
“I’ll send you off,”Nian Xi said with a smile.
“Nian Xi, come back with me.” Jiang Yuning grabbed her hand in annoyance. She hadn’t even recovered yet, and she was already going to escort a prisoner. It was simply outrageous.
“I won’t do anything in the car,” Nian Xi said with a smile. “Go sit in the police car behind. I still need to chat with Miss Manda for a while.”
“What’s there to talk about?” Jiang Yuning was completely baffled.
“Alright, don’t mind me.” Nian Xi pushed Manda into the police car.
Jiang Yuning stood at the door for a while. He had no choice but to squeeze in with Lei Yichen and the others. Along the way, his face was dark. Not only was he angry that Nian Xi didn’t tell him about today’s arrangements, but he was also angry that Nian Xi and Feng Jichuan were sitting in the car in front.
Lei Yichen said, “Professor Jiang, don’t be angry. Nian Xi didn’t tell you because she was afraid that you wouldn’t agree to her taking the risk.”
“Of course I don’t agree.” Jiang Yuning’s handsome face was livid. “If you want to be bait, I’ll go. Manda wants to kill me the most. Why would she go? She hasn’t even recovered from her injuries.”
“That’s why she didn’t tell you.” Lei Yichen sighed, “Mr. Jiang, I admit that you’re very good at being a spy. I admire you for being safe and sound for so many years, but being a bait isn’t like that. If Manda makes a sudden move, you won’t be able to avoid it without acute skills. Nian Xi won’t be at ease with you being bait alone. Moreover, Nian Xi thinks Manda likes you. If she sees you with a woman who’s very close to you, she’ll definitely be jealous and hot-headed. Think about it. She just lost her father and her organization. She has always wanted to conquer you, but she saw you being conquered by another woman. How shameful would a proud person like her feel?”
Jiang Yuning was speechless.
Indeed, Manda was such a proud and arrogant woman.
Rather than saying that she liked him, it would be more accurate to say that she was interested in him and wanted to conquer him. The more he looked down on her, the more she wanted him.
He smiled bitterly. “So… Nian Xi and I went to the seaside for a holiday and spent time alone. That was part of the plan, right?”
Lei Yichen coughed lightly and said with a twinkle, “Don’t say that… The more upscale your hotel was, the more anger Manda would have. ”
Jiang Yuning stared at him coldly. In the end, he stared until Lei Yichen was speechless. Only then did he harrumph heavily and ignore the other people in the car.
…
In the car in front, Nian Xi sat in the front passenger seat while Feng Jichuan and Manda sat in the back. Nian Xi looked back at Manda from time to time.
It had to be said that when she first saw Manda, she still felt that she was quite good-looking. However, it was probably because too many things had happened recently that she looked haggard and much older.
“What are you looking at, ugly freak?” Manda felt like she was being stared at like an animal in a zoo, and she gave an extremely uncomfortable glare.
“You’re calling me ugly?” Nian Xi pointed at herself and smiled in surprise.
Manda gritted her teeth. “Who are you? What’s your relationship with Jiang Yuning? Are you pretending to be a couple?”
“Do we need to pretend? I’m his girlfriend, Nian Xi.” Nian Xi sneered. “Have you forgotten that three years ago, you almost got someone to kill me?”
Manda was stunned and frowned. She seemed to have heard of such a thing, but she was not very clear because it was done by the leader of the organization. Moreover, she had never seen Nian Xi’s photo.
