Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 478 Ultimate Notes 2 5

"Alright, let's go." Shi Ying put down the towel she was using to dry her hair, stepped forward, took her arm, and walked out, as if she had no bones.

Ah Ning believes that people are different from one another. She trains regularly and has firm muscles.

Shi Ying was soft and flexible, despite having trained in the same way and possessing great strength.

As soon as the two of them got downstairs, they saw Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling sitting in the dining room, both dressed in black. They must have had several sets of the same clothes.

As they approached, Black Bear whistled at Shi Ying: "Miss Shi, you don't consider me and Dumb Zhang as outsiders, do you?"

His gaze swept over her bare shoulders, arms, and legs.

Zhang Qiling, whom he mentioned, lowered his gaze and didn't look at them much as the two approached.

Shi Ying ignored him; she wouldn't argue with a hundred-year-old blind man. She sat down with Aning and started eating.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Hei Xiazi wasn't embarrassed and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

He would glance at Shi Ying from time to time, seemingly very interested in her, but in reality, there was no emotion in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

Shi Ying acted as if she hadn't seen anything, lazily propping her head up with one hand and eating with the other.

Ah Ning's gaze swept over the two of them, then looked at Zhang Qiling, who was eating with his head down, and twitched the corner of her mouth.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, as they had to travel the next day and sitting in the car all day was quite tiring.

Shi Ying had taken a nap during the day, but she still couldn't fall asleep, so she simply lay in bed and took out her flip phone to play Tetris to pass the time.

Ah Ning was still standing by the window making a phone call, explaining the follow-up arrangements to others; she was truly dedicated.

At the entrance of the Golmud Sanatorium, Shi Ying and Aning were sitting in the car when they saw two people rush out from inside.

The van's door was open, and Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi quickly jumped in.

Shi Ying sat in the second row by the window, and there was also an old man sitting at the back entrance.

Zhang Qiling sat down next to her first, while Hei Xiazi sat in the back seat.

Ah Ning turned around from the passenger seat and asked, "Did you find the thing?"

“With me and Zhang the Mute handling things, of course!” Black Bear said, patting his bag.

Upon hearing this, Aning signaled the driver to start the car, and then everyone heard a sound coming from behind.

"Wait for me, wait for me, I haven't gotten in the car yet!" Wu Xie's panting voice rang out from behind as he chased after the car.

Ah Ning turned around and said, "Stop the car!"

As soon as the car stopped, Wu Xie jumped in, looking like he'd been pulled out of the water, drenched in sweat. With no seats available, he could only squat in the aisle for the time being.

"Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to come too. You were so good at pretending in Hangzhou, I thought you really didn't know anything."

"Ah Ning? So you were deliberately testing me."

Instead of answering directly, Aning asked, "What did you find in the sanatorium?"

"Didn't you guys find it first?!" Wu Xie rolled his eyes.

As he spoke, he looked at the other people in the car after he calmed down, first glancing at the two unfamiliar men in the back.

Old Gao greeted him warmly: "Hi!"

Wu Xie didn't recognize him, so he looked away and looked at Xiao Ge and the woman next to him.

Shi Ying opened her eyes, habitually curling the corners of her lips as she repeated A Ning's address: "Boss Wu? Wu Xie?"

Wu Xie stared at him with wide, questioning eyes: "You know me?"

"do not know."

"Then how do you know my name?"

Shi Ying looked at A Ning with a mocking gaze, as if laughing at Wu Xie's naivety.

Ah Ning smiled and said, "Shi Ying is with me."

Jude Kao's men? Wu Xie quieted down and was invited by Lao Gao to sit in the back seat.

Zhang Qiling sat in the middle, opened his eyes briefly, and then closed them again.

Nighttime is a time when people are most sleepy, and no one is in the mood to talk much, so they close their eyes and rest.

The car drove all night and arrived at the foot of a mountain in the morning, where Aning's men had already set up camp.

As soon as Zhang Qiling got out of the car, Wu Xie blocked his way: "Brother, why are you with these people?"

As Shi Ying got out of the car from the other side and walked away, she heard Wu Xie's question and Hei Xiazi's jeers.

Ah Ning was leading people to inspect equipment and supplies, while she was the only one with nothing to do, so she could slack off for a while.

Shi Ying chose a tent to go inside, thinking she would catch up on some sleep, as she was physically and mentally exhausted after sitting in the car for several days.

There are two beds here. She'll probably share a tent with Aning again tonight. She threw her backpack aside and lay down on one of the beds.

In the next tent, everyone had gathered. Sitting in front of them was an old lady named Dingzhu Zhuoma, dressed in Tibetan clothes, her daughter-in-law, and her grandson, Zaxi.

Ah Ning glanced at everyone: "Where's Shi Ying?"

Wu Xie shook his head to indicate that he did not know, while Zhang Qiling's lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly.

“I know, I saw Miss Shi go into the tent next door,” Black Bear said.

He had been paying some attention to this familiar-looking woman.

Ah Ning knew Shi Ying's temperament; she wouldn't have been so willing to come if the boss hadn't asked her to: "Let's get down to business first and take out the things."

Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi opened the box he had brought from the Golmud Sanatorium and placed it in front of Dingzhu Zhuoma.

Dingzhu Zhuoma looked at the plates in the box and mumbled a bunch of things, but everyone looked at each other and couldn't understand her.

Her grandson, Zaxi, acting as translator, explained, "My grandma said the plate is incomplete, missing a part, so it can't be taken."

Aning immediately looked at Dingzhu Zhuoma and asked, "Do you know where the porcelain shards are?"

After listening to his grandmother's words, Zaxi said, "He was taken to Lancuo."

“Let’s go to Lancuo.” Aning said to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling turned and walked out. Wu Xie followed him, seemingly wanting to say something. In the end, Hei Xiazi went to Lan Cuo.

Shi Ying was lying down sleeping when Aning came in after finishing her work that evening and lay down to rest on another bed.

In the middle of the night, Shi Ying woke up and quietly went outside. She saw Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling talking.

"I am a person without a past or a future. If I disappear from this world, no one will notice."

When Zhang Qiling said these words, he exuded an aura of loneliness.

Shi Ying heard this sentence as soon as she came out, and after thinking about it, she decided not to take a step and disturb their conversation.

Just as Wu Xie was about to speak, he saw Zhang Qiling turn his head to look to the side. He stopped speaking and looked over as well.

Upon seeing Shi Ying, Zhang Qiling felt that familiar feeling again, and the loneliness he had felt earlier dissipated considerably.

Shi Ying, with her hands in her pockets, leaned to one side, gazing at the sky. Seemingly noticing their gazes, she turned her head.

"Shi Ying? What are you doing here?" Wu Xie asked.

"Look at the moon."

"You're here to admire the moon instead of sleeping?"

"Yes, I'm already awake."
