Ning Cheng held onto Ning Ruolan and carefully moved before sitting down at the side of the bed. Ning Ruolan was still tightly grabbing onto Ning Cheng’s hand, while Ning Cheng also caressed Ning Ruolan’s long hair while saying, “Ruolan, this time I have come to take you away. You do not need to be worried again.”
Finished saying that, Ning Cheng then continued, “Sister Dai Xin, can you wait for some time before you tell me the rest of details?”
Dai Xin had accompanied Ruolan all this time; as such, Ning Cheng had already regarded her as her own younger sister.
Looking at the exhausted and weary Dai Xin, he did not continue to ask anything. One cannot explain such matters in just a few words. Once Dai Xin recovered her physical strength, it won’t be too late to ask questions at that time. Since he was here now, then he would not let anyone dare run wild in this place.
Grey Toottoot was also very fast, in just slightly more than ten minutes, he had already returned.
Ning Cheng then locked the door securely. Sweeping out with his Spiritual Consciousness in all directions, he did not discover any cameras.
……
Looking at the glass table filled with all sorts of food, Dai Xin and Ning Ruolan couldn’t help but stare at Grey Toottoot. Just what kind of puppy was this? How was it able to bring so many things in here?
“Ruolan, Dai Xin, first eat. After dinner, we can talk slowly. I have a Spacial Storage Object with me that can allow me to store many things inside.” Ning Cheng spoke as he effortlessly moved the glass table to the side of the bed.
Although it felt bizarre, Dai Xin and Ning Ruolan did not ask about it. Currently, in this world, there were already too many weird things.
Ning Ruolan and Dai Xin had only been eating small amounts of chocolates every day, as such saying that they were hungry would be an understatement. Now that there was a table full of excellent food in front of him, they just were not able to bear it. As Ning Ruolan contained her excitement, her mood also turned a lot better. With her big brother here, her appetite was just like an animal starved for centuries.
Not waiting to finish the dinner, Dai Xin and Ning Ruolan started taking turns to narrate what had happened in the past three years. When the meal was finally finished, Ning Cheng also understood the general gist of what had transpired.
Soon after Ning Cheng’s disappearance, these insects had appeared on Earth. With the advent of these insects, it brought out a market for Insect Materials and Insect Nuclei.
With her big brother missing, Ning Ruolan wanted to start her own business first. Once she made a lot of money, she would then be able to scour the entire world to find her brother. At the same time, she also wanted to tell the Tian Family about a fact, that everybody can make money and that the Tian Family was nothing remarkable. As such, it would also prove to Tian Muwan that she did not have the qualifications to look down upon her or her big brother.
Ning Ruolan knew how difficult it would be for a person to start a business without money, but she was also brilliant herself. When she observed that Insect Nuclei had a market price of several million to several tens of millions, she knew that she had to start a business related to this.
To understand this line of work, she joined a Materials Company. Because of her knowledge of a foreign language, she had the opportunity to strike up a deal with a few international soldiers. It was also because of this connection that she was able to meet several soldiers. One time, a foreign soldier had thanked Ning Ruolan for her continuous help by sending a not-so-valuable Yellow Spot Insect’s stomach to Ning Ruolan.
At the very beginning of the insect tide, the stomach of the sharp-mouthed Yellow Spot Insect’s only usage was as raw materials to manufacture some socks as well as gloves, a kind of low-levelled protective gear. Other than that, at some hotels, after processing the sharp-mouthed Yellow Spot Insect’s stomach, using it as a food delicacy was also an option.
Although Ning Ruolan had handled many Insect Materials, she had never owned any Insect Materials of her own. However, what Ning Ruolan had not thought was that the Insect Stomach gifted to her by that soldier would also contain an entirely preserved Insect Nucleus inside of it.
This Insect Nucleus allowed her to obtain a fortune of two million Yuan. With this money, she was able to see a sliver of her business, as she quickly used it establish a prototype of her own company.
Ning Ruolan also knew that this so-called opportunity was entirely due to luck. Later on, no one would dare to send an unchecked Insect Stomach. That was because many of Insect Stomachs contained even more good things.
Although the company grew, Ning Ruolan was also very careful. She had not only hired a lot of security but had also purchased a few weapons. However, even if that was the case, a large quantity of Ning Ruolan’s first batch of inventory ended up robbed along with the cargo. She had initially hired ten security guards, but two among them had died, while the other eight were all missing along with the drivers.
Cheng Ruolan Materials Company also started to plummet in the market because of this incident. To keep the company running, Ning Ruolan could only choose to borrow money from others. However, because of this event, the company ended up with a variety of problems, causing it to experience many difficulties.
To make matters even worse, a month ago, the cargo that the company had managed to obtain after great difficulties ended up robbed once again. This time it did not even contain any particularly valuable materials in it, to the point that even common thieves would not eye it. Still, this cargo ended up robbed.
Ning Ruolan was utterly and mentally exhausted by this point, and could only seek some help from Dai Xin. When Dai Xin realised Ning Ruolan’s situation at the company, she immediately arrived at Qiyang, while also bringing with her around two million Yuan.
After Ning Ruolan discussed things with Dai Xin, the two of them personally arrived at the Hundred Bay Point to purchase more inventory.
“Brother, if the first robbery was an accident, then the second robbery was definitely orchestrated by someone against me.” Now that Ning Ruolan found her big brother, her mood also turned a lot better than before. In fact, it was the best she ever felt.
Ning Cheng nodded, “Ruolan, we can talk about this matter later, why are you and Dai Xin trapped in this place? Who won’t let you out? The hotel is 100,000 a night, and a meal is 100,000 per head, at the end, whom does this hotel intend to serve? Where in the world would you even find such an expensive hotel?”
Dai Xin hesitated before speaking up, “Big brother Xiaocheng, I suspect that the ones who had planned all this is the same group who seem to have designs of Ruolan’s company.”
Ning Cheng looked at Ning Ruolan and spoke, “In that case, Ruolan, who do you think is plotting against you? Tell me.”
Ning Ruolan gave an ‘en’ sound before replying, “I have always suspected the Domain Insect Materials. Moreover, I also received an anonymous letter stating that it was the same company who is behind all this.”
“Domain Insect Materials?” Ning Cheng repeated the words. He had also heard of this name some time ago.
“En, its China’s largest Materials Company. Even in the entire world, it would rank within the top three. This Materials Company not only sells Insect Materials but also sells finished weapons and armour and other essential things.” Ning Ruolan explained.
Speaking until this point, Ning Ruolan hesitated a bit before looking at Ning Cheng and talking, “Big brother, I suspect that this company belongs to the Tian Family, so…..”
Ning Cheng lovingly grabbed Ning Ruolan’s hand and spoke, “Ruolan, no matter who it is, if someone dared to make a move on you, then I will never let them off.”
Thinking about the two robberies, Ning Cheng just wished that he could smash those bastards to smithereens.
“En.” Ning Ruolan’s eyes once again turned red, as she remembered her insanity after her brother had disappeared. Today, her big brother was back and was still the
same as before. The big brother who cared for her in every possible way.
“Our company had just started to grow, but the Domain Insect Materials was already bidding for a lot of high-level insect materials. Because we were not only paying back the price, we were also selling the processed materials to the others at a much lower price than the Domain Insect Materials, resulting in huge losses to the Domain Insect Company. Originally, they did not have much, but for some reason, the Domain Insect Materials were mysteriously able to obtain a lot more materials compared to the other Material Companies, allowing the company to quickly grow up in both size and scale…..”
When Ning Ruolan spoke here, it was as if she once again recalled the time when Cheng Ruolan’s materials ended up robbed, especially when the security detail that she had arranged were massacred.
Ning Cheng could feel Ruolan’s hand turning cold, immediately allowing him to guess as to what she was thinking, “Ruolan, you don’t have to worry about it, despite the things left unsaid. I will let you call the shots; besides you have already seen Grey Toottoot’s ability.”
“Big brother, is this puppy really called Grey Toottoot? How was it able to carry away these many things before? In the end, where did it put all of it?” Ning Ruolan instantly remembered Grey Toottoot, who was still leisurely sitting at one side. The previously unexplained things, both she and Dai Xin were not able to understand it.
With the experiences over the past few years, she could always control her own emotions. Only in front of her big brother, she did not need to manage them.
“Don’t worry; these matters can be spoken about in the future. Just tell me what is going on with the matter between you and the Domain Insect Materials.” As Ning Cheng finished speaking, he signalled Grey Toottoot to pick up all the things on the table.
Ning Ruolan and Dai Xin looked at Grey Toottoot sauntering towards them, but then they realised that dishes on the table had unknowingly disappeared, causing them to feel shocked.
It was only after a good long while that Ning Ruolan was able to continue with her explanation, “As the Domain Insect Materials expanded, it quickly started to swallow up some of the smaller materials company. However, our Cheng Ruolan Company was the focus of their strikes. Many of the Materials Company slowly disappeared, however, I really did not want to reconcile with them. If I were not able to earn a lot of money, then I would have no chance to look for my big brother…”
“Ruolan, it’s really been hard on you for all these years.” Ning Cheng immediately understood that the reason why the other Materials Company had disappeared was that they all buckled under the pressure from the Domain Insect Company, causing them to vanish. However, Ruolan’s Company was unlike others and was able to cope up with it to a certain extent, demonstrating Ruolan’s outstanding abilities.
Ning Ruolan shook her head and spoke, “To see my big brother once again, I don’t think it was laborious at all.”
“How do you know that the Domain Insect Company belongs to the Tian Family?” Ning Cheng recalled Ning Ruolan’s words from before and asked again.

“I once saw the boss of the Domain Insect Materials following behind Tian Muwan with his head lowered. It led me to think that there was some sort of business dealings between the two. Later on, I received an anonymous letter stating that the Domain Insect Materials changed owners to Tian Family and that if I gave up on this path or investigation, then they would also appreciate it.” As Ning Ruolan spoke until here, she was somewhat nervously looking at Ning Cheng. She was afraid that her big brother had not forgotten about Tian Muwan, as such she did not speak much.
Ning Cheng also understood Ruolan’s meaning but did not expand upon it.
In the past, he had not understood why Tian Muwan had treated him that way when she spoke that the difference between them was too significant. However, Ning Cheng had always suspected that it was not the real intention of Tian Muwan, as at that time Tian Muwan had not given him the opportunity to inquire about it. Now that he had returned once again, he had no desire to know the reason behind it. Moreover, Tian Muwan had also not answered him about Ruolan’s whereabouts and had not shown even the slightest hint of inquiring about him, who was missing for the past few years.
The past was the past; every individual had his or her own path to walk. When Tian Muwan had taken out the bankcard and placed it in front of him, Ning Cheng had understood that they had already become outdated. He was the clearest when it came to Tian Muwan’s disposition, if he had fancied Tian Family’s money, then Tian Muwan would have already left him long before that incident. Since Tian Muwan also knew about his disposition, but still choose to give him a bank card, then it meant that there was nothing else to discuss.
“Does Tian Muwan know that you were the one who founded the company?” Ning Cheng apparently was aware that he should not have asked this question, but he also couldn’t help but ask it.
Ning Ruolan shook her head and spoke, “She should not know about it, my company was still small at that time, so it was simply not worth mentioning in her eyes.”
Ning Cheng, on hearing those words, gave out a sigh of relief. If Tian Muwan knew it was Ruolan’s company, yet still plotted and attacked it, then he would have felt quite sad about it. Even Ning Cheng would not be able to accept this. As to why he was feeling like this, he was finding it indescribable. It might be because he was unwilling to see people who were once close to him to treat Ruolan like this.
“So why are you staying in this place?” Ning Cheng already put the matter regarding Tian Muwan to the side and asked. He wanted to bring his sister out of here. As to the issues relating to Tian Muwan, after all, the paths of the two would not intersect with each other in the future anyway.
Dai Xin hinted to Ning Ruolan to take a break for a while before speaking up, “I’ll say it. Ruolan and I had no intention to stay in the Hundred Bay Point for even a single night. However, the Hundred Bay Point currently is quite a chaotic area. In other words, in this place, strength replaces the law, resulting it to be quite dangerous.”
“After Ruolan and I arrived here, we did not do anything radically meddlesome and were just thinking of procuring some cheap insect materials. However, because I wanted to know more about the different varieties of Insect Nuclei, we ended up entering a merchant house specifically set up in the Hundred Bay Point for Insect Nuclei. There were not many people in the merchant house when we entered. I wanted to ask Ruolan about a particular Insect Nucleus, and lifted my hand to point to it but ended up accidentally bumping into another person nearby. The man was holding a wooden box with an Insect Nucleus inside it. When my hand accidentally brushed past it, that wooden box ended up falling to the ground. The Insect Nucleus inside of it unexpectedly shattered……”
Ning Cheng hearing until here realised that Dai Xin and Ruolan were on the receiving end of blackmail. This was similar to touching porcelain only to break it. If an Insect Nucleus could be so easily broken, then it was not a Demon Nucleus.
Sure enough, Dai Xin continued with the narration, “That person immediately grabbed me and asked me to pay 20 Million Yuan. He said that his Insect Nucleus was a high-grade Insect Nucleus, and since I had destroyed his Insect Nucleus then I had to pay for it. The money on Ruolan and me combined only added up to 2 Million Yuan. Moreover, most of it belonged to my parents who saved it for my marriage, so where would we be able to bring out 20 million? Ruolan realised that the matter was not looking good, so she immediately pulled me and ran…..”
Ning Ruolan interjected, “Big brother, you do not know what it means to destroy other people’s things in this place or how terrifying the compensation for it is. If Dai Xin and I cannot put together the 20 mill
ion Yuan, then they can directly carry the two of us away to process us. Even if they kill us on the streets, there would be no issue about it.”
Dai Xin continued with fear in her voice, “That’s right Elder Brother Xiaocheng, if it was not for Ruolan pulling me into this hotel, we might have not been alive at this moment. Even if that was the case, Ruolan still ended up getting shot through the arm, but luckily no bones were hurt…..”
“WHAT!” Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, while his eyes turned red. Ruolan was actually injured; moreover, it was even a bullet wound? Although it had been quite a while since he met Ruolan, he had not noticed it all.
“Big brother, I’m fine, it’s just a flesh wound, it is much better now.” Ning Ruolan on seeing her big brother’s appearance, that crazy look on his face, quickly tried to comfort him with some words.
Ning Cheng restrained the fury in his heart and spoke, “Ruolan, let me take a look at the injury.”
“En.” Ning Ruolan pulled her shirt down a little.
On Ning Ruolan’s white arm, there was a layer of white gauze wrapped around it tightly; however, it was dripping with blood, showing that the wound was probably not in a stable condition. From the moment he met Ruolan until now, he did not showcase any of his fears, but this injury really caused Ning Cheng to be worried.
“Those bunch of trash.” Ning Cheng clenched his fists, at this moment he was completely ready to slaughter anyone that made the mistake of barring his path. This bullet, if even a bit off, it would have gone straight through Ruolan’s heart. If he turned even into the highest of those golden immortals at that time, he would not be able to save Ruolan.
“Big brother, I’m much better now, you don’t have to worry about it.” Seeing Ning Cheng’s clenched fists giving out ‘Ka-Ka’ like sounds, Ning Ruolan hurriedly comforted him. Her big brother had returned, but it looks like he also obtained some unique skills. However, Ning Ruolan knew that those experts who could easily kill and dice those insects were also quite powerful
