Chapter 477

The current him.

Was at the edge of a deep mountain.

Driving down from Donghai City.

Following the national highway toward Dali.

Along this route, one could basically see many mountain ranges.

Then, near Dali, the geography would gradually become much flatter.

Next.

According to Ning Chen's estimate.

He would arrive in Dali around two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

The reason for wanting to go to Dali this time.

Was to obtain some clues about the Haiwan family.

But after the incident with Tang Lun.

Ning Chen suddenly felt that extracting clues from some underlings was a very simple matter.

After all, they were not true members of the Haiwan family; to save their lives, trading some clues was a very worthwhile deal.

However, those core-level figures.

Were not so simple.

Whether out of threat or out of loyalty.

They simply would not leak secrets.

When facing Tang Lun.

Ning Chen discovered this; trying to pry information from their mouths was no different from wasting time.

Moreover, that Tang Lun.

Acted decisively, even killing his own accomplices.

Although Ning Chen was not afraid, obtaining information was indeed much more difficult than before.

So in Dali, Ning Chen did not expect to get any intelligence.

But.

If he could follow the vine to get the melon, he might still obtain quite a few clues.

While Ning Chen was pondering outside the RV.

"Bang!"

The door was opened.

Zhang Xiaonian rubbed his eyes and walked out from inside the RV.

"Big brother, why aren't you asleep yet?" Zhang Xiaonian asked, yawning.

Ning Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaonian, then said, "I can't sleep."

"Why can't you sleep again? Is something troubling you?" Zhang Xiaonian asked, sitting on the edge of the RV, "Or, do you have something on your mind?"

"If you do, you can tell Little Jiujiu! Little Jiujiu is best at listening to other people's stories!"

Saying this.

Zhang Xiaonian made a YES gesture toward Ning Chen, revealing a sweet smile.

Ning Chen smiled, then stroked Zhang Xiaonian's hair and said, "Nothing much; if there is anything, it's just small matters."

Ning Chen was unwilling to talk much with Zhang Xiaonian.

After all.

The less one knows, the better.

Talking too much only adds to loneliness.

No matter how a living person tries, he cannot do what the dead do.

Even a person who faked his death.

Zhang Xiaonian looked at Ning Chen, pouted, and said, "Hmph! I knew you didn't want to tell me. If you don't want to tell me, just say so! At worst, I won't ask!"

Zhang Xiaonian threw a rare tantrum.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, it's nothing. Let me ask you a question: if your mother suddenly stood before you, what would you do?"

"My mother?" Zhang Xiaonian's eyes widened. "But she passed away, didn't she? In that case, wouldn't she be a living dead person? That's too scary!"

Ning Chen nodded and said, "If it were really like that, what would you do?"

Zhang Xiaonian answered without the slightest hesitation: "Of course, I would rush over and hug her! What else could I do?"

This answer left Ning Chen stunned, and he began to ponder deeply.

He had not expected.

Zhang Xiaonian to answer so decisively.

Compared to himself.

This answer was far superior.

Quickly.

Ning Chen came to his senses and said to Zhang Xiaonian, "I think you said it very well."

"Just so-so! Eh hehehe!" Zhang Xiaonian said shyly, "I just feel that if my mother really appeared suddenly like this, I would definitely rush over and hug her. Not for any other reason, but simply because she is my mother!"

Such a purely straightforward answer could probably only come from Zhang Xiaonian's mouth.

Ning Chen took a small stool and sat outside the RV.

The cold night wind was like countless ice needles, piercing people's blood vessels and skin, bringing endless cold.

Zhang Xiao Nian shivered and pulled his clothes tighter around himself.

Ning Chen, however, was not affected in the slightest.

It was not that the wind was not cold.

It was just that the cold was completely insufficient to shake Ning Chen's body.

"Big brother?" Zhang Xiao Nian poked his small head out, looking around, "What's wrong with you? You stopped the car very early today; usually at this time you are still driving. What exactly is going on today!"

Zhang Xiao Nian comforted him, saying, "You must absolutely not think of doing anything rash or anything like that; it doesn't matter at all, just think about it more and it will be fine, really!"

Ning Chen glanced at Zhang Xiao Nian and said slowly, "I'm tired today and want to rest for a while. Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish. I still have things I must do, things waiting for me to do."

"Mm!" Zhang Xiao Nian nodded, then yawned and said, "It's too cold; I'll go back to the car first. You should hurry in too! Otherwise, you might catch a cold!"

Ning Chen nodded but said nothing.

Zhang Xiao Nian got up and left, opened the car door at the same time, and then dashed into the side room in a flash.

The Husky walked out with a serious expression, then looked at Ning Chen outside the car and barked "Woof woof woof" a few times.

Ning Chen did not respond to this.

The Husky immediately ran down from the car, biting Ning Chen's coat hem and refusing to let go.

That force came through.

Ning Chen turned his head to look back, then actively used the ability "Soul-Knowing One."

It could invisibly increase intimidation.

But that Husky seemed not to sense it at all.

It continued tearing at Ning Chen's clothes.

The seam was almost torn open!

Ning Chen frowned, reached out his hand, and gave the dog's head a sharp thump.

The Husky, struck and yelping in pain, barked twice and then ran back into the RV.

Ning Chen watched its retreating figure and suddenly felt that this Husky was quite extraordinary!

It could even be immune to the ability "Soul-Knowing One."

Could it be because it was a gift from the system, so it could not be affected by title abilities?

Ning Chen did not continue to pay attention to that Husky.

Instead, he continued his own contemplation.

He quietly gazed at the sky.

He watched the faint silhouette of the high mountain opposite.

Countless strange sounds rose up all around.

Ning Chen took all of this in with his eyes.
