Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 2052

Jiang Ning's question sent Liu Heng into a sudden moment of confusion. Liu Heng's face darkened the next instant.

"Punk, don't test my patience. I'm trying to show you some respect."

"I don't need that from you," said Jiang Ning calmly.

He couldn't be bothered with Liu Heng at all. Before Liu Heng could retort, Jiang Ning walked right up to Zhang Heng. Their eyes met. Zhang Heng appeared unfazed despite the look that Jiang Ning was giving him.

He had no idea why Jiang Ning was speaking up on his behalf.

They had only met each other once and had barely spoken to each other.

Zhang Heng had been the one who had instructed Luo Heng to kill Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning must be aware of that, so there was no reason for him to speak up for Zhang Heng.

"Mr Zhang is a good man with a good heart. He wouldn't hurt anyone," said Jiang Ning. "Besides, we don't know each other and bear each other no grudge. He has no reason to harm me."

Zhang Heng nodded. "That's right. This is only the second time I've met Jiang Ning. I don't harbor any personal grudge against him at all. None so great that compels me to kill him. Mr He, you shouldn't make baseless accusations against me."

Mr He eyed Zhang Heng, gave Jiang Ning a look, then scoffed. From the look of unhappiness on his face, it was clear that he was extremely displeased about Jiang Ning stepping forward and speaking up for Zhang Heng.

He was helping Jiang Ning figure out who had tried to kill him and bring the perpetrator to justice. But what was Jiang Ning doing now? He was actually standing on Zhang Heng's side.

"Chief Liu, the person who wants me dead must be someone else. I don't believe that Mr Zhang would do something like that."

Jiang Ning walked up to Liu Chuandao and clasped his hands together respectfully.

"Who do you think it is then?”

Everyone froze in stupor when they heard what Liu Chuandao had said. The expressions on their faces revealed their differing thoughts.

What a question!

Were they going to looking into whomever Jiang Ning believed was the culprit and have the man arrested?

The sect leader was treating this matter like child's play!

They had not expected that Liu Chuandao had already arranged a match for Liu Qing and that he had named Jiang Ning his future son-in-law.

Everything did kind of make sense. There was a possibility that Elder Luo Feng and his party might have tried to kill Luo Heng.

They had a strong motive to do so.

They had come with a marriage offer, only to find out that Liu Qing had been bestowed to another. If they truly wanted Liu Qing to become their young master's wife, Jiang Ning had to die.

The revelation struck everyone present like a shattering bolt of lightning.

Zhang Heng heard something explode in his head. Jiang Ning had somehow stumbled upon the truth while uttering nonsense.

Killing a mere son-in-law should have been a simple matter. No one had expected things to spiral out of control.

The air was taut with tension.

"What utter nonsense!" the Senior Elder said in a burst of anger. "Who do you think you are? You're not worth Elder Luo Feng's time!"
