Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Chapter 411: He was Right

Translator: Lonelytree

He looked at me with a disdainful expression. “Can’t I?”

I looked at him and nodded. “Sure.” It was his money and his business deal, so who was I to stop him? However, I had to settle something else first.

I turned to ask Gao Da. “Who bribed the people who betrayed us?”

Gao Da looked at Old Master Jing. The old man nodded. “I know it’s Jing Ning. I knew that when the man wanted to shoot us.”

I looked at the old man with a complicated expression.

The old man smiled. “Nanxing, you’re still too young. When you reach my age, you’ll understand that the saying, it’s inevitable for a man to have an unfaithful wife and unfilial child. I have managed to get both of them.”

I looked at him in astonishment.

He smiled wryly. “Do you think I’m a horrible person for keeping Xiao Lan as a mistress and giving birth to Jing Tian?”

I nodded.

Old Master Jing chuckled sadly, “Nanxing, sometimes, you are overly honest.” Well, that was the truth. Why should I deny it?

“To be honest, it was my wife who betrayed me first. But it was my fault too. Later, I found Xiao Lan, and it was she who helped me get back on my feet. Later, I found happiness again with Jing Tian. However, all these years, Xiao Lan has to bear the name of being a mistress. For Xiao Lan, I didn’t hesitate to break up with my wife.

“For Xiao Lan and Jing Tian, I can give up everything. But that woman and my sons won’t let me. They need to protect the Jing Family’s face. What would they do if this gets out, they asked me. Therefore, I kept Xiao Lan on the down-low. I thought we had reached a compromise, but I didn’t expect them to still harbor such resentment. It only amplified in Jing Ning’s generation!”

The old man’s tone was very melancholic.

Gao Da and I understood what he meant. No wonder Auntie Lan had such a curious relationship with the Jing Family. I felt bad for Auntie Lan and Jing Tian. The old man had a high IQ but low EQ. Things must have been hard for Auntie Lan. This proved that Auntie Lan really loves him. Anyway, that was not important now.

“Brother Gao Da, how long do you need to clean up the mess? Before you do, does that mean we can’t use people from Ardent Flame Alliance?” I asked Gao Da.

Gao Da nodded with a solemn expression.

I comforted him, “It’s alright. We can borrow people from Dragon’s Gate. My little uncle should be here soon.” I smiled even though the pain came from every inch of my body.

“Is this place safe?” Old Master Jing asked hesitantly.

Gao Da nodded. “Don’t worry. Jing Ning didn’t bribe that many people. We are doing a complete cleanse just in case of others using this opportunity to infiltrate the gang. I’ll need two days. However, certain things can’t wait two days. Master Si might not arrive so quickly either.”

I sighed. “But I can only wait passively for Jing Tian to send me messages. I can’t do anything.”

Gao Da was at a loss.

The old man suddenly said, “We can’t sit here and worry. We have to find the connection between these two incidents.”

Gao Da and I looked at the old man in unison.

“The central character is Jing Ning. If Jing Ning sold out Jing Tian’s itinerary, then we need to find out to whom he has sold that info. Then, who were the people who kidnapped me at the airport?

“Are they related? If you can’t use people in the underworld, then find help elsewhere. Don’t be trapped in a mental block.” The old master’s eyes shone brightly.

Gao Da and I looked at each other, and our eyes lit up.

The old master was right!
