Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 234 Jumping into the River

A splash of water rose from the river, and Luo Ning vanished without a trace.

Ma Daqin's pupils contracted, and she shouted in alarm, "Someone has jumped into the river!"

Her shout startled the birds in the trees, and soon the news reached the military region, with people rushing towards the river.

Zhong Cheng was carrying a kettle to fetch water when he suddenly saw Li Tian limping anxiously towards him. "Uncle Li, slow down!"

"Zhong Cheng, hurry back and inform Battalion Commander Xie, his wife jumped into the river!"

"What?" Zhong Cheng jumped three feet high, picked up the water bottle, turned around and ran back.

Zhong Cheng pushed open the door and, breathless, told Xie Chang'an this devastating news.

Xie Chang'an's mind went blank for a moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and instantly fainted.

"Battalion Commander Xie..." Zhong Cheng's eyes were red with anxiety. He hurriedly pushed Xie Chang'an out, shouting so loudly that the whole corridor could hear, "Dean, Dean, Battalion Commander Xie's wound has reopened, he, he has fainted!"

The dean's expression hardened, and he immediately ran out of his office. The on-duty doctors and nurses rushed over to help Zhong Cheng push Xie Chang'an into the operating room.

Zhong Cheng seemed drunk, a little dizzy, and left while leaning against the wall.

The news of Luo Ning jumping into the river spread like wildfire, and countless people rushed to the riverbank.

Even Tong Nan, Liu Yingge, and Fu Qingjin walked together, supporting each other as they reached the riverbank.

Yang Zheng organized people to search the river, and Tong Nan burst into tears when she saw this.

"How could these perfectly healthy people just... They were perfectly fine when they left my house this morning! Why are they all so desperate? Jian Yin jumped into this river before, and Luo Ning jumped into it not long after she arrived. I think this river should be covered up and sealed off!"

Fu Qingjin sighed and quickly pulled Tong Nan aside.

Liu Yingge immediately caught up with her and asked curiously, "Auntie, who is Jian Yin? Why did she jump into the river?"

"That little bitch is impersonating a wife from Chang'an's hometown, saying that her mother from Chang'an sent her to leave a seed for Xie Chang'an."

While Xu Jianbin was accompanying Chang'an for a check-up, she stripped naked and climbed onto Chang'an's hospital bed.

When Chang'an was taken back by Xu Jianbin after the checkup, he realized something was wrong. He didn't even go inside, just stood there saying some unpleasant things. In a moment of despair, she attempted suicide!

Tong Nan recounted the past, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

"How could there be such a shameless woman in the world?" Liu Yingge clenched her fists. "Is she dead or not?"

Fu Qingjin looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Tong Nan, can't you put a zipper on your mouth?"

She inadvertently noticed a pair of cloth shoes with exposed toes getting closer and closer, and hurriedly tugged at Tong Nan, who was about to start talking again.

Tong Nan was stunned for a moment when she saw Ma Daqin, then jumped up instantly, "What are you doing here?"

Ma Daqin pursed her lips, turned around and left. She thought she was going to hear something amazing, but it turned out to be nothing but old news.

All that effort she put in to walk that far was for nothing; she even got her shoes dirty.

Liu Yingge didn't get an answer, and her gaze drifted towards the riverbank...

As more and more people went into the water to retrieve the items, her heart sank to its lowest point.

I finally met a good friend, and he's gone in the blink of an eye.

In Xie Chang'an's ward at the military hospital, Xie Chang'an closed his eyes and lay slumped on the bed like a dead fish, his soul seemingly having gone with Luo Ning.

"Slap!" Suddenly, he was slapped on the arm, and the pain instantly brought him to his senses.

Xie Chang'an opened his eyes and was shocked to see Luo Ning with her hair wet and hanging over her shoulders, glaring at him angrily.

"Xiao Ning, you're not dead?" Xie Chang'an's emotions grew increasingly agitated. He grabbed Luo Ning's hand, then suddenly remembered something...

He also noticed that Luo Ning's hands were a little cold, but still warm; he was still alive. "That's great, that's great!"

Luo Ning rolled her eyes. That crazy woman on the shore was good at spreading rumors. She gave her a hundred points, not afraid of her getting arrogant.

She had been in the morgue for so long, and her body reeked of the stench of death. A little water couldn't wash her clean, so she threw herself into the embrace of the great river.

The river is flowing, so her swimming around in it won't have much of an impact.

In my past life, swimming in the river was a perfectly normal thing when I had time, but here it's become suicide. Oh my god.

She was diving and washing herself in the river when Yang Zheng came with his men to pull her out. It was absolutely outrageous! She had no choice but to swim downstream and go into her spatial dimension to take a bath.

They kept their distance from them, fearing they might be caught.

Luo Ning withdrew his hand to attend to the battalion commander's daily needs, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper...

After everything was settled, Zhong Cheng, his eyes red, pushed open the door and rushed in. "Commander Xie, Uncle Li said they didn't find your sister-in-law, so he asked you to use her clothes to build a cenotaph..." He froze on the spot before he could finish his sentence.

What did he see? How did his sister-in-law end up here? Didn't she jump into the river?

Luo Ning's sharp gaze swept over, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you, you're still alive!" Zhong Cheng stammered excitedly, unable to contain his joy.

"Of course I'm alive! Living for another thirty or fifty years is no problem!" Luo Ning sneered.

"I, I'll go tell them not to fish..." Zhong Cheng felt for some reason that the words were not very auspicious, so he turned around and ran away happily, closing the door behind him.

Luo Ning opened her lunchbox and found that the food, which had been almost untouched and had gone cold, turned around and glared at Xie Chang'an. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, are you trying to fast?!"

Xie Chang'an's lips twitched. Luo Ning had a lot of new words, but they were actually quite apt.

"It's hot today, I don't have much of an appetite!" Xie Chang'an said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

Ever since Luo Ning mentioned in the morning that someone was following her, he had been on edge and had no appetite since she left.

Then he heard that Luo Ning had gone to the morgue and wouldn't be out for a while, so she wouldn't be able to have lunch. He decided to stay here with her.

Luo Ning sighed inwardly; she was right not to tell Xie Chang'an anything.

With a rumble, Xie Chang'an's stomach let out a shameful growl of hunger, which was immediately echoed by Luo Ning.

Luo Ning suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch. Damn it!

"Xie Chang'an, close your eyes and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon!"

"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an obediently closed his eyes and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop openly.

However, he didn't hear anything, and he couldn't sense Luo Ning's presence. What the hell was going on?

He wanted to open his eyes and see, but he was afraid of upsetting Luo Ning.

He got caught eavesdropping this morning. If he gets caught again tonight, Luo Ning will definitely teach him a lesson.

Zhong Cheng ran to the riverbank in a flash, shouting as he ran, "My sister-in-law isn't dead! She's back at the hospital!"

This exciting news brings both joy and sorrow.

As the people who had been searching for the fish along the river gradually dispersed, Tong Nan wiped away her tears and trudged back home.

"Teacher Fu, I have to go now. I need to go back and prepare some dishes for Luo Ning so I can cook for her when she gets home!"

Luo Ning said in the morning that she wanted to make pumpkin crispy pork and boiled fish, so she went home to prepare the pumpkin and kill the fish for her.

Liu Yingge followed Tong Nan back, secretly thinking to herself that the sour jujube cake that Luo Ning brought to her aunt was so delicious. Her aunt had given her a few, and she was still savoring the taste.

When will Luo Ning call her house? That way she can have some sour jujube cake too.

Fu Qingjin saw through Liu Yingge's little scheme at a glance and shook her head helplessly.

However, she was also looking forward to Luo Ning's visit. She had made all the preparations, but she didn't know when the little girl would arrive.

Today is her birthday, but Lao Liu is stuck at the division headquarters every day, so she'll probably have to spend her birthday with Yingge again this year...
