Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 1518

Chapter 1518: Her Boyfriend Made up His Mind Without Any Hesitation

Nian Xi was stunned for a while before she reacted angrily, “Who did this? My brother or my dad? I’ll go talk to them and teach them a lesson. Do they seriously think that they can just step all over me just like that?”

“No…” Jiang Yuning hastily denied. “It’s Xu Gang.”

Nian Xi was stunned. She knew Xu Gang, who was there when they went to Europe to protect Jiang Yuning. She had guessed that he was somewhat a part of Interpol.

“Xixi, quiet down! Will you listen to me?” Jiang Yuning hugged her around her shoulders. “I need to tell you about something from the past. When I was 23 years old, I was developing a project related to dark matter. I was just curious about it, so I went in without much thought. However, as the project continued, I reached a breakthrough, but if the results of my research ended up with the wrong people, this could affect the survival of all of our future sons and daughters.”

Nian Xi was shocked. “If you knew about the dangers, why did you go into the project in the first place?”

“Many scientists don’t know or don’t consider the risks of their work when they’re so blinded by the chase. Things weren’t so clear to me back then either.” Jiang Yuning grimaced. “Of course it can serve good use as well, but not right now. When I came to Xia City, I wanted to stay far away from where our lab was in the past, and I was trying to hide from it as well. Remember when my lab assistant leaked information about my work when we were in France? He escaped the country to join the TOX organization. Now that they know about the existence of the study materials of dark matter, they have their eyes on me now.”

Nian Xi was breathing more quickly now, and her eyes were much darker.

Jiang Yuning clenched her hands. “The elevator incident, and when you got shot. Those were all warnings that they were sending to me.”

Nian Xi refused to believe what he was saying, shaking her head in disbelief. She had contemplated the possibility of something like that before, but now, she did not want this to be true.

“Xixi, I’m telling you the truth! Interpol is on the move now,” it was the first time Jiang Yuning had spoken to her so seriously. “The organization is big, and they have connections all over the world. We need international cooperation to take them down altogether, but it’s going to take a while. So… I’ll have to leave Xia City for the time being.”

“Okay, I’ll come with you! I can protect you!” Nian Xi nodded her head right away. “I’ll apply for a transfer! I’ve been tasked to protect you before! I’m a cop after all…”

“You should stay in Xia City…” Jiang Yuning interrupted her. He sounded firm and decisive.

“Jiang Yuning…” Nian Xi flung his arms away, frustrated. “What do you mean? You don’t want me to follow you? Or are you going to find another woman in the time being…”

Jiang Yuning kissed her lips with his own before she could finish her sentence. When she grew quiet, he slowly drew apart and said softly, “Xixi, why do you think I’m leaving? I don’t want to bring you into this. Do you know why the elevator malfunctioned the last time? They used a device that interfered with the radiofrequency of the converter. The culprit was on the roof of the building opposite you. They weren’t even close to you, so you won’t be able to handle these people.”

Nian Xi was terrified. She never imagined that her life would become intertwined with sophisticated criminals like them, but she had never cowered and withdrawn from a fight. “And you can deal with them? Will they leave me alone once you leave? They already know that I’m your girlfriend! They may even use me to threaten you…”

“I won’t hand over my work even then!” Jiang Yuning said with resolve.

Nian Xi fell completely silent.

Right, even if that was the case, she was slightly frustrated that her boyfriend had made up his mind without any hesitation.
