Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Hearing the Bad News Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Hearing the Bad News One could imagine how Ning Wanru must have been going crazy by now.
At this moment, Ning Wanru simply couldn’t sit still in the room.
Her expression was somewhat manic.
Pacing back and forth in the room.
Steward Wu, after having the servants tidy up the room, approached Ning Wanru and whispered, “What about the jade mine?”
Ning Wanru was overwhelmed, her mind a mess.
She didn’t know what to do anymore.
The jade mine she had bought for fifty million didn’t have a single piece of jade left in it.
It sounded as absurd as a fairy tale.
At this very moment, Ning Wanru still found it hard to believe.
But the reports from her son these past few days, she kept them all in mind.
She had no choice but to admit that this was the reality!
She looked at Steward Wu and said bitterly, “We’re leaving the city.”
So Ning Wanru changed her clothes, and Steward Wu drove the car out of the garage.
They drove aimlessly around the city for a while.
As they drove, Steward Wu realized something was off, “Madam, it seems someone is following us.”
Ning Wanru looked back, but couldn’t see anything conclusive.
Frowning deeply, she gritted her teeth and said, “It must be that old bastard’s people.”
“Don’t panic, I know how to shake them off,” Steward Wu said softly.
He sharply turned the steering wheel and took a turn into an alley, then he drove familiarly along a tree-lined road.
They then crossed a street and sped up, heading towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
The pursuers, seeing no trace of the car ahead, had no choice but to return to the vicinity of the Ning Family.
And reported this discovery to Gu Qingfeng.
Unable to determine their destination, they could only wait and see.
On the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
It was already autumn, and the mountains were ablaze with red maple leaves, like a sea of fire.
This fiery spectacle seemed to burn in Ning Wanru’s heart, leaving her no peace for a moment.
Some things had become too complicated to explain over the phone.
She had to speak with Lin Fanpeng in person.
Especially about the jade mine.
What exactly was going on?
Soon, the car arrived at the foot of East Mountain, where they showed the usual pass to the security guard at the gate, as always.
Then, Ning Wanru went up the mountain.
At this moment, Lin Fanpeng was sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the sun.
His eyes nearly closed.
Seeing Ning Wanru, he knew there was an issue.
Especially since Ning Wanru’s complexion was terrible.
It was as if she had aged decades in just a short period of time.
Even her back was bent.
Lin Fanpeng asked puzzledly, “What happened now? Why do you look so bad?”
Ning Wanru sat down, took a sip of tea, and began to recount in detail what had happened after buying the jade mine to Lin Fanpeng.
Because she couldn’t have told him without concrete results.
But now, after the exploration by the experts, the vein of jade in that area was gone.
It was all ordinary granite.
You could say it was practically worthless.
Moreover, the stones within the previously demarcated jade rough stones area had been almost entirely extracted.
The workers worked overtime, laboring through the night.
They had dug up at least ten truckloads of stones in total.
But regrettably, not a single one contained jade.
Forget jade, there wasn’t even a speck of green.
So after receiving that call from Gu Cheng, Ning Wanru knew she had to talk to Lin Fanpeng.
At this very moment, Lin Fanpeng felt as though he was listening to a story.
