Chapter 54: Grandma is mighty

The knocking on the door became more urgent. Ning Jianguo quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed his clothes and pants from the back of the chair, and put them on. Ning Xiaobei also wanted to go downstairs. Ning Jianguo quickly turned around, pulled the blanket off the bed, covered him tightly, made sure he was wrapped up securely and then allowed him to leave the bedroom.

As the door opened, Ning Xiaobei frowned and covered his face with his hand—anyone would react like this if they were suddenly confronted with two or three flashlights in the middle of the night.

"Meow..."

Az, startled, let out a scream and cowered under the sofa.

"Are you Ning Jianguo?"

The visitor waved the flashlight back and forth over Ning Jianguo and Ning Xiaobei. Ning Jianguo frowned and nodded, reaching out to turn on the light at the entrance.

It was only then that Ning Xiaobei noticed the visitors were two men and one woman. The two unfamiliar men were wearing brown raincoats, and water was dripping incessantly from their hats, soaking the doormat at the entrance. The woman was wearing a bright red coat, and it was evident that the original fabric was of good quality, but unfortunately, it had been thoroughly soaked by the rain, rendering both wool and rabbit fur useless.

She lowered her head and walked up from behind the two, the red leather shoes under her feet making a "squelch squelch" sound as they entered the water, making her appear both disheveled and comical.

"We're from the joint defense team. Do you know this girl?"

As the two were halfway through their conversation, the Zhao family downstairs must have heard the commotion and hurriedly ran up. Ning Jianguo saw the windows of the neighboring houses gradually lighting up on both sides and quickly invited them in before continuing the conversation.

"Ah, isn't this Xiao Mei?"

If we're talking about sharp-eyed people, it would have to be Zhao Jingwen. He had thrown on a leather jacket over his thin pajamas and looked at the girl in front of him with water dripping from her hair, and dark circles under her eyes, whether from makeup or the cold, in astonishment.

Ning Xiaobei saw Fan Xia coming up wearing slippers and a vest, so he quickly pulled him under the blanket he was wrapped in. The two younger brothers leaned their heads together and realized that the disheveled girl in red was indeed Xiao Mei.

"Brother Jianguo, Xiaobei... Brother Zhao..."

Xiao Mei raised her head, looking at them with a face full of grievances.

Tears and rainwater covered her entire face, and the purple bruises were her eyeshadow washed away by the rain.

"Jianguo, what's going on?"

A cough sounded from Ning Xiaobei's room, and the old lady inside asked, "Mom, are you okay? Just go to sleep, don't come out, it's cold outside."

Ning Jianguo turned his head, signaling them to lower their voices and not to disturb the old lady.

However, Grandma Ning was so stubborn. In no time, she walked out of the bedroom.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" The old lady exclaimed in surprise as she saw a group of people standing in the living room, lit by candles.
