Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 410: Safety

Translator: Lonelytree

We got into Gao Da’s car and arrived at another safe house.

There was someone there to receive us.

Someone immediately came over to check on our injuries.

Gao Da said, “Don’t be afraid. These are all our people.”

I nodded. “Someone from the Ardent Flame Alliance has betrayed us, right?”

Gao Da nodded heavily. “Yes. Master Qi has sensed it immediately, so he released the emergency protocol. When everyone is in hiding, the person still moving about will be the traitor.”

I smiled wryly. “But it almost took your life!” My nose twitched. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to come back.”

Gao Da forced a smile and patted my shoulder. “Good job, Nanxing. If it weren’t for your alertness, you and the old master would be in great danger.”

I nodded. “We would be dead. They were not going to capture us but to kill us.”

Old Master Jing sat to the side. Someone was tending to his wounds. He wanted to say something but hesitated for a long time. Finally, he asked, “Nanxing, how did you know that those people were traitors?”

I shrugged. “My intuition.” The old man smiled helplessly. I explained, “Given our situation, our help should have come as silently as possible. So when the group arrived brazenly, I knew they were not there to help. Also, I know you want to ask why I turned to aggression when I saw them. You must think I was cruel for not giving them the chance to explain themselves. That’s easily explained. People of Ardent Flame Alliance would greet me when they see me and not turn to make a phone call.”

The old man didn’t say anything but nodded.

I didn’t have the time to care about his feelings. I turned to Gao Da. “I’ve gained contact with Jing Ni. Mai Qi is injured. They’ve gone back to China. My uncle is coming over.”

Gao Da let out a long sigh.

This was a series of tragedies. Jing Tian’s whereabouts were unknown; there was a traitor inside Ardent Flame Alliance; people were still trying to kidnap us. I couldn’t help but sigh.

Gao Da patted my shoulder. “Don’t give up yet. We’re still alive. In fact, I’d say things are looking up. I believe Master Qi also wants to use this chance to cleanse the Ardent Flame Alliance. Nanxing, pay attention to your phone. See if Master Qi has other instructions. I’ll get my men to look into these people’s backgrounds. We need to locate Master Qi as soon as possible.”

“Nanxing, I don’t think I’ll hand over the business deal to Jing Ning anymore.” The old man suddenly said.

I was stunned. I was still processing what Gao Da said, so the old man confused me.

“Nanxing, release the news that I’m dead. Then, you will go to snatch the business deal. I’ll give you the money.” the old man said very calmly.

“What… do you mean?” I looked at him in disbelief.

The old master said plainly, “I mean… Since we’re already in this state, we might as well go all out.”

He reminded me of Jing Tian. Their attitude, tone, and expression were exactly the same.

“But if we do that, the Jing Family will fall into chaos! Actually, it won’t. Jing Ning will take over the Jing Family directly when your death is confirmed,” I said.

He nodded, “We will use that to lure him in.”

“But this business deal belongs to the Jing Family. Jing Tian has arranged everything, and Jing Ning is coming to take over. Once the news of your death is released, the deal will naturally go to Jing Ning. How am I supposed to grab it from him?” I was confused.

The old master said, “I’ll give you the funds and teach you to negotiate the deal. You’ll snatch the business deal right out of Jing Ning’s hands!”

I looked at him and widened my eyes.. “You’re planning to buy out your own business deal?”
