Chapter 1506: Mr. Nian Junting Has Assigned Us to Protect You
Jiang Yuning lowered his head, and his clear eyes were incandescent with both anger and trepidation. “Xixi, now isn’t the time for jokes! Do you realize that we almost died just now?”
Nian Xi had intended to console him. However, when she heard how harsh he sounded, she became angry as well, probably because he had never treated her like this before. “I suppose I’ve implicated you this time. If you didn’t come to my house to take care of me, you wouldn’t have experienced this.”
“That’s not what I meant...” Jiang Yuning pouted as he moved his thin lips. He did not know what to do, and he could only extend his arms to hug her tightly again. “I just don’t want you to get injured...” he said in a quivering voice. action

“Miss Nian, are you alright?” At that very moment, three tall and burly men rushed up the stairs and dashed over anxiously. The trio still seemed badly shaken.
“Are you all...” Nian Xi was slightly baffled. She tried to recall who they were, but she had never seen these three men before. “...From the property management team?”
“No. Mr. Nian Junting has assigned us to protect you.” One of the muscular men stepped forward and said, “I’m Meng Zhan. We were in the car park just now, and we were scared silly when the elevator lights suddenly went off. Thank goodness you’re alright!”
“Protect me?” Nian Xi let go of Jiang Yuning, her face riddled with astonishment. “When did all of you begin protecting me?”
“We’ve been watching over you ever since you were discharged from the hospital,” Meng Zhan answered. “Mr. Nian is quite worried about you, but he’s afraid that you’ll object to our protection. Hence, he told us to watch over you covertly.”
“I had no idea at all...” Nian Xi mumbled. This was an utter humiliation for a cop.
However, Nian Xi knew that Nian Junting was probably worried that someone would harm her because of Jiang Yuning’s matters ever since she spoke to Nian Qingyun during the Lantern Festival. That was probably why he had sent people to protect her.
Nian Xi was quite touched. Her brother usually seemed vile, but he was quite protective of her during critical moments.
“Miss Nian, both of you should head upstairs first.” Meng Fan frowned as he stared at the elevator. “We’ll get the staff from the property management team to come here and take a look. Qi Xiang, escort Miss Nian upstairs. Let’s not use the elevator for the time being.”
“Alright, thanks for your trouble,” Nian Xi replied. She no longer dared to use the elevator.
Jiang Yuning carried her upstairs, while Qi Xiang helped carry her wheelchair.

When they reached their apartment, Jiang Yuning carried Jiang-jiang and sat down on the sofa. He remained silent, and his delicate, handsome face still looked pale.
Meanwhile, the innocent and naive Jiang-jiang nuzzled up against his chest.
Nian Xi drank a huge glass of water and pondered over whether this incident was a coincidence, or if someone had genuinely wanted to hurt her.
After 15 minutes, the manager of the property management team appeared with an apologetic expression on his face. He knew who Nian Xi was. When Nian Junting bought this apartment back then, Nian Junting had specifically highlighted that Miss Nian was living here alone and had asked the security to take special care of her.
The manager of the property management team was utterly shocked after the incident happened this afternoon. He felt as though his heart was going to a stop, and he felt greatly relieved that the lift did not crash. Otherwise, he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
“Miss Nian, I’m very sorry. You must have been shaken,” the manager apologized as he bowed deeply in front of her. “We conduct maintenance on the elevators every week, and I have no idea why such a terrifying incident could happen. I’ve already asked the elevator repairman to look into this.”
