Chapter 323 Look at him, doesn't he look familiar?
Ning Yao's phone vibrated; it was He Yu calling.
"Miss Ning, the person has been caught."
"Okay, I'll be right there—have you notified Wen Tingye?"
"I've already notified them." He Yu's first call was to Wen Tingye, and this was his second call to Ning Yao.
"Have you caught the person who did it? I'll go with you." Ning Moran watched Ning Yao finish her call and immediately stood up.
Ning Yao nodded, and the two quickly got into the van. Before leaving, Ning Yao asked the black-clad bodyguards who were guarding the crew to return all the communication devices to everyone. She planned to give each person a small compensation for the inconvenience caused by the confiscation.
Following Ning Yao's request, the bodyguards gave each member of the crew a limited-edition gold bracelet from the most famous jewelry store in the capital city.
The crew members, who had initially complained a little, immediately beamed with joy; their mood changed so quickly.
"Luo Xiyao is so generous. This bracelet is worth tens of thousands of yuan, but she only took our phones for one night."
“Who says otherwise? She’s much more impressive than some stingy people.” Someone said, glancing at Zhao Peier beside him.
When Zhao Peier was being pursued by Shen Jiangming, the young master of the Shen family, she often gave them a hard time on set. She wouldn't let anyone touch the things that the young master gave her, and she treasured them like they were the most precious things.
All told, the crew only ate two meals with her young master Shen, how much is that worth?
Zhao Peier didn't hear what the others were saying about her, and shamelessly asked for a bracelet.
Why wouldn't she take it if it was free?
……
Guan Ying's driving skills are good, but still not as good as Ning Yao's.
The mountain road was winding and twisting; Guan Ying could only ensure the car was stable, but not its speed.
Seeing this, Ning Yao gestured for Guan Ying to give her the driver's seat. After a few seconds of surprise, Guan Ying obediently parked the car on the side of the road.
Ning Yao got into the driver's seat, while Guan Ying got into the passenger seat.
After the car steadily accelerated to 90 km/h, Guan Ying felt the car suddenly start to surge forward, at a speed like a missile.
Even though she was used to seeing fighting and killing, she couldn't help but swallow hard. Looking at the dark cliffs outside the car window, she subconsciously reached out and tightened her grip on the seatbelt in front of her.
The wind outside rushed into the car, making Ning Yao's hair fly wildly. Guan Ying secretly glanced at her and thought that Ning Yao really looked like a villainous female demon who had gone mad in a martial arts drama.
Who drives like that? They're practically courting death!
Guan Ying had no idea that Ning Yao had an international professional racing driver's license.
For Ning Yao, the skill of controlling speed when turning on mountain roads was like child's play, posing no challenge whatsoever.
What should have been a 40-minute drive, Ning Yao managed to get there in less than 20 minutes.
Upon arrival, Guan Ying was still in a daze, watching helplessly as the 'female demon' and her son got out of the car one after the other.
He Yu waited in the shadows, where a man was tied up at his feet with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth, making muffled noises and unable to speak.
"Miss Ning, you've arrived." He greeted Ning Yao respectfully as she arrived.
Wen Tingye had never been interested in women before, and He Yu never imagined that one day she would have a beautiful boss lady.
Ning Yao will be Mrs. Wen sooner or later, so it's essential to build a good relationship with her beforehand!
"What did he say? Who sent him?" Ning Yao sat down on a park bench, crossed her long legs slightly, and raised an eyebrow as she asked.
"He's from the Huo family of the capital city." As for which Huo family, He Yu knew that Ning Yao knew even if he didn't say.
The Huo family, a prominent family, is the CEO of the computer research base in Country Z. Behind them are many hidden forces that cannot be brought to the forefront.
"I understand." Ning Yao nodded, got up and left.
She had absolutely no interest in the lowly minions on the ground who carried out the tasks assigned by their master.
It was either Huo Zhijing or Huo Muxi who were behind this. In Ning Yao's opinion, Huo Muxi, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, was more likely to be the culprit.
This wasn't the first time she had tried to kill herself; she had done it once before on the Costa Cruises.
Could the Huo family really think she's easy to bully, letting her scheme against her again and again, putting her in such a dangerous situation?
"Oh, right." Ning Yao turned around suddenly halfway through her walk and looked at He Yu.
"Tell Wen Tingye not to interfere in my affairs. This time, I'm going to take matters into my own hands."
"Yes, I will relay Ms. Ning's words to President Wen."
As for whether or not to listen, that's Wen's business, He Yu thought to himself.
It was already quite late, and Ning Yao didn't want to rush back to the mountain, so she drove her son and Guan Ying to her villa.
The school's faculty apartments are too far away. The film set used to be quite close to the school, but now that it's in the mountains, the distance has increased dramatically.
Another day of showcasing driving skills at high speeds. Guan Ying had already recovered from the initial shock of seeing Ning Yao's driving skills for the first time and was used to it.
When Guan Ying arrived at Ning Yao's villa, she was surprised again. She knew Ning Yao was very rich, but she didn't expect her to own such a large villa in the capital city where land is extremely valuable.
Outside the villa, a line of servants stood, led by a smartly dressed, energetic middle-aged woman.
Two rows of smiling people stood there late at night, all about the same height, and each dressed as a servant.
The scene was particularly eerie and unsettling, especially since the streetlights outside the villa flickered.
"When did this light break? Quickly arrange for someone to fix it, lest the young master and young lady be frightened when they come over," Chen Ma instructed, her expression somewhat displeased.
Ning Yao rarely goes home, and this time she encountered a flashing light situation.
Seeing this, Guan Ying glanced at Ning Yao beside her, only to find her smiling and showing no anger whatsoever.
The maid made a mistake, but Ning Yao, as the boss, didn't scold or reprimand her. It seems that Ning Yao is a really good person.
"Aunt Chen, please help me tidy up two guest rooms." Ning Yao affectionately took Aunt Chen's arm, showing no intention of treating Aunt Chen like a servant.
"I'll take care of it. You must be tired from filming lately. I'll make you some fish maw soup to nourish you later." Chen Ma looked at Ning Yao kindly, her voice gentle.
"By the way, what are your names, young lady and young man?" Chen Ma asked, looking at the two men.
“Guan Ying, my friend, this is Ning Moran,” Ning Yao replied.
"Hello Miss Guan, hello Mr. Ning," Chen Ma greeted politely.
Guan Ying nodded politely, while Ning Moran's face darkened, and Ning Yao noticed his expression.
"Let's go, I'll tell you all about what's happened during this time later."
Guan Ying looked at the two from behind and felt that Chen Ma and Ning Yao did not seem like a master and servant, but rather like a mother and daughter.
Ning Moran was relatively less curious. He was used to the relationship between his mother and Chen Ma, and he treated Chen Ma as his own maternal grandmother. It was just that it was not convenient for him to reveal his identity at the moment.
Even when Ning Yao was away from home, Chen Ma still kept the villa in perfect order, and the guest rooms only needed a little cleaning before they were ready to be occupied.
Ning Moran was about to go inside when Ning Yao stopped her.
Ning Yao smiled and waved, gesturing for her son to come to her side.
Ning hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Chen Ma before finally obeying and going over.
Ning Yao took Chen Ma's arm and went into her bedroom, with Ning Moran following behind. After the door closed, everyone sat on the sofa.
"Aunt Chen, does he look familiar?" Ning Yao asked Aunt Chen gently.
This 'he' naturally refers to Ning Moran.
Chen Ma didn't understand why Ning Yao would ask such a question. She looked Ning Moran up and down and, to be honest, she did see some clues.
She slapped her thigh and said with a smile, "I was wondering why he looked familiar. I think I saw this young man on TV a few days ago. He was standing on the awards stage, having invented some kind of medicine and brought glory to our country!"
Ning Moran's ears turned red, just like Ning Yao's in that respect; his ears would unconsciously flush when he was shy.
"Yes, yes, he is that young man who won glory for the country, but don't you think he still looks like a real person?" Seeing her son's shyness and embarrassment, Ning Yao smiled and praised him, then changed the subject and got to the point.
"Who does she look like?" Chen Ma realized that Ning Yao had something to say, so she tensed up slightly and became serious and cautious.
"Xiao Wu, my child."
Ning Yao parted her lips slightly and uttered two words, her eyes filled with a gentle warmth.
