Ning Dai sat beside Elder Ningâs bed. She carefully clasped his wrist with her fingers and calmed her heart.
She was taking Elder Ningâs pulse.
For an old man like Elder Ning, a heart attack was enough to take their lives. She had to be careful.
Two minutes later, she heaved a sigh of relief and released Elder Ningâs hand.
âGrandfather, you should pay more attention to your health. Donât trust anyoneâs news.â
âI know. I was worried.â Elder Ningâs voice could not help but tremble. He patted the back of her hand, and clear tears appeared in his old eyes.
âItâs good that youâre okay. Grandfather canât bear to lose you again.â
âDonât be silly. Grandfather and Daiâer can both live for a hundred years.â Ning Dai comforted Elder Ningâs arm and shook it.
Ning Xiaodai gritted her teeth. The flames in her eyes burned as if they were about to devour her.
Those two good-for-nothings didnât even get rid of Ning Dai!
When Ning Dai came, Old Master Ning only had her in his eyes. She was just a vase that could be discarded at any time!
B*tch!
Perhaps Ning Xiaodaiâs resentment was too strong, Ning Dai paused and looked at her coldly.
âI forgot about you. Are you disappointed that Iâm alive?â
âNo.â Ning Xiaodai quickly lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes.
Ning Dai smiled meaningfully. âEven if you are, you can only hate in the bottom of your heart. Youâll never be able to stand out in public. Get lost.â
âYou!â Ning Xiaodai still wanted to retort, but she saw Ning Daiâs cold face.
âArenât you going to get lost? Do you want me to do it myself?â She stood up and clenched her fingers tightly, making a threatening sound.
Ning Xiaodai didnât dare to dawdle any longer. She took a deep breath in humiliation and turned to leave.
The ward was finally quiet.
âSheâs finally gone.â
Ning Dai fanned herself with her palm and turned to open the window of the ward.
The perfume on Ning Xiaodaiâs body was too strong. She was disgusted by it and Elder Ning was definitely not feeling well.
After the fresh air rushed in, Ning Dai turned to look at Mo Chen.
âSecond Brother, are you thirsty?â
âIâm fine.â Mo Chen waved his hand and gestured for her to bring a glass of water for Elder Ning.
âI just drank it. Iâm not thirsty.â Elder Ning did not want it and only stared at Ning Dai. âDaiâer, whatâs going on? They said that your plane crashed and even Ning Xiaodai rushed back from abroad to attend your funeral.â
âThey really wanted to attend my funeral, but unfortunately, they didnât have the fate to.â
Ning Dai told the story of what had happened before.
From the problematic pilot on the plane to the falling island, she did not miss a single detail. Of course, she hid all the details that should not have been there.
The more she listened, the redder Elder Ningâs face became. He clutched his chest and panted heavily.
âThese b*stards. How dare they do such a thing behind my back? They must be tired of living!â
âGrandpa, donât be angry.â
Ning Dai gently massaged his back. âI see that Ning Xiaodaiâs reaction is intense. Since she canât wait to come back, Iâm afraid she must have put in a lot of effort.â
Over the years, as the adopted daughter of the Ning family, she had accumulated a lot of connections. In order to get rid of her, it was reasonable for her to join hands with Second Uncle and Third Uncle.
Elder Ningâs brows were tightly knitted together, almost forming the word âå·â
âDaiâer, Grandpa will support you no matter what you do.â
âIâve been waiting for Grandpa to say that.â Ning Dai smiled faintly.
âThe most important thing now is to separate Ning Xiaodai from them and break through one by one. Also, I need to find some concrete evidence regarding the plane.â
Even if the pilot died along with the plane, they should be able to retrieve the black box from the plane, as well as the pilotâs private account, and even his family. They were all breakthroughs.
She needed to investigate them all.
