Chapter 52 -52: What Will You Choose?
Ji Xinghang couldn’t hold back any longer; he rushed out of the car and swung his fist at the burly man’s face.
He had been in fights since he was young and had subsequently undergone specialized combat training. The burly man was knocked to the ground with a single punch.
Seeing this, other men immediately surrounded him. Ji Xinghang was furious and these men showing up was just perfect.
He quickly got into a scrum with several of them as Luo Ning leaned casually against the car door, watching.
These men were gangsters and not unskilled but facing Ji Xinghang, they still fell short.
Additionally, the “Yin Sha Qi” used by Luo Ning took effect; soon they began hallucinating and started brutally fighting among themselves.
Luo Ning pulled out her phone and recorded their crazed behavior, proving that whatever injuries these men sustained had nothing to do with them.
From the beginning, Luo Ning had been recording the men’s conversations and planned to hand it over to the police.
Because there were many people, Ji Xinghang accidentally took quite a few hits during the fight, and even cut his lip.
Seeing these men suddenly start fighting among themselves confused him.
He immediately turned and looked at Luo Ning, saw her calmly recording and guessed that it was her doing.
Once the men had nearly beaten each other senseless, Luo Ning walked over to the man lying on the ground clutching his stomach and groaning, stepping on his back.
“Who sent you?” she asked.
The burly man, having uncontrollably fought his own people and feeling waves of cold, shivered on hearing Luo Ning’s question.
However, they had to follow the underworld code and couldn’t betray their employer once they’d been paid, “No, nobody.”
“We saw online that you were pretty and wanted to invite you over as a guest,” he added.
Luo Ning moved her fingertips slightly, and strands of evil spirit seeped into the burly man’s body, instilling an indescribable fear and chill.
Luo Ning coldly continued, “Who sent you? This is your last chance to speak.”
The burly man looked up at Luo Ning’s still stunning face beneath the dark night, but found it terrifying.
Unable to hold back, he blurted out, “Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu sent us.”
“What did he want you to do?” Luo Ning asked further.
The burly man’s fear deepened, “To take you, strip you, and take photos and videos.”
It wasn’t that he wanted to betray Liu Shaoxian but this woman felt too sinister.
Luo Ning recorded their statements, then turned off her video.
Ji Xinghang’s face darkened further, wishing he could kill these men.
At that moment, a police car arrived; the driver had called the authorities as soon as Luo Ning got out of the car.
The police, seeing so many people lying on the ground, were initially stunned but then began inquiring about the situation.
Luo Ning explained what had happened and showed them the recordings and video.

While the police were baffled at why the men seemed to have gone mad and attacked each other, they understood the situation and took everyone into custody for further investigation.
Luo Ning and her companions also went to provide statements.
After giving their statements, Ji Xinghang found out that it was Liu Shaoxian who was after Luo Ning.
After getting back into the car, he asked Luo Ning, “Have you offended Liu Shaoxian?”
The police had asked Luo Ning the same question, but she had clearly responded that she didn’t know the person, and there was no offense committed.
However, Ji Xinghang knew Luo Ning; he had seen her remain very calm earlier and felt that she might know the inside story.
Luo Ning turned to look at him and said, “I don’t know him, but I have offended Bo Xiangxiang.”
She didn’t plan to hide the matter regarding Bo Xiangxiang and Liu Shaoxian from Ji Xinghang.
Ji Xinghang was somewhat puzzled, “What does offending Bo Xiangxiang have to do with this?”
“Your emotional intelligence is still low,” Luo Ning rolled her eyes. “Bo Xiangxiang and Liu Shaoxian are secretly involved. If I’ve offended her, it’s equivalent to offending Liu Shaoxian.”
“Are you saying that Bo Xiangxiang made Liu Shaoxian do it?” Ji Xinghang frowned deeply.
Luo Ning nodded, “What else? It wasn’t a direct order, but she must have whispered it in his ear.”
She raised her eyebrows at him: “You don’t believe it? Think I’m slandering your pure and holy Bo Xiangxiang?”
Ji Xinghang: “…” What the heck is pure and holy?
With a helpless expression, he said, “I’m not saying I don’t believe you, I just hadn’t imagined that.”
They had been childhood friends, and he knew Luo Ning was not one to lie.
“Besides, my relationship with Bo Xiangxiang isn’t what you think, we’re just friends. She has helped me, so I helped her when she needed it. The matter on the trending searches was an example of that,” Ji Xinghang explained.
Luo Ning had read that novel, so naturally, she knew what Ji Xinghang meant by ‘help.’
Her mind turned as she asked, “Has she helped you in other ways? How?”
Ji Xinghang honestly said, “Once I attended an event and accidentally encountered a fan who tried to attack me with sulfuric acid. Bo Xiangxiang threw herself in front to block it.”
It was the first time someone had completely disregarded their own safety to help him, risking danger, so he was quite moved.
Luo Ning raised her eyebrows again, “After the event finished, she just happened to be nearby and then helped you? Did you not check if it was too coincidental?”
“What should I check?” Ji Xinghang, being smart, quickly caught on. “Are you suggesting it wasn’t a coincidence but that she did it on purpose?”
“But how would she know that the fan would attack me with sulfuric acid?” he puzzled.
Luo Ning patiently explained, “Couldn’t she have found out unintentionally that someone was planning to throw sulfuric acid at you, and then followed to seize the opportunity to help you, this top celebrity?”
“Wasn’t she wearing relatively thick clothes at the time? And she managed to dodge most of the acid. Even though some did splash onto her, it didn’t cause much harm to her body.”
According to the book, Bo Xiangxiang had overheard in the restroom that a fan planned to splash Ji Xinghang with sulfuric acid and then kindly intended to stop it.
Understanding Bo Xiangxiang as she did, Luo Ning knew the woman was motivated by self-interest.
By helping Ji Xinghang, she could gain his gratitude and favor, while also assimilating this powerful and popular top celebrity from the entertainment circle into her influence.
In a previous life, Bo Xiangxiang had succeeded—Ji Xinghang indeed felt a fondness towards Bo Xiangxiang, even considering her a special person in his heart.
Now, she felt it was still necessary to let Ji Xinghang know the truth, otherwise wouldn’t it just fulfill Bo Xiangxiang’s wishes, with him continuously transferring his good fortune to her as in the past?
She also wanted to know, once he investigated the truth and without the constraints of the book, what choice Ji Xinghang would make?
Bo Xiangxiang, the Daughter of Destiny and the original female protagonist of this world, could avoid Luo Ning’s powerful abilities as long as her luck wasn’t weakened.
Thus, continuously reducing her luck and transforming her into an ordinary person was the only option.
