CHAPTER 1240 MORE AND MORE COMPLICATED
Jiang Ning never disturbed her when she was busy.
He was sitting in his office when Huang Yuming came walking in.
"Everything is ready. Professor Lu is very professional," said Huang Yuming as he chuckled out loud, "He was aptly named since his name means dedication too. He can now continue with his project."
"That's great. You must follow up with his project and let me know the moment he makes any progress."
"Yes, Big Boss. Lu Jing is an admirable man. Given his status, if he were willing to say a few good words, he wouldn't have ended up having no money to run the project," said Huang Yuming as he sighed.
Jiang Ning always had good judgment. The moment Jiang Ning laid eyes on Lu Jing, he noticed that Lu Jing was dressed simply and continued wearing his leather shoes even though its soles were completely worn out.
Lu Jing had a stubborn temperament. He was always stood out in his college and never resorted to flattery.
He was incapable of ingratiating himself to anyone. How could someone like him have any future in society?
"People like him deserve our respect. That is one of the reasons why I agreed to sponsor him," said Jiang Ning. "Just give him everything he needs. It would be a pity for true academics like him to give up because he lacked funding.
"I know," said Huang Yuming.
After a brief pause, Huang Yuming seemed to recall something.
"Oh yes, Professor Lu said that the symbol has a long history and is very valuable..."
"What long history?" said Jiang Ning as he shook his head, "What history could the red cloud symbol have? I'm guessing it emerged between the time when Chinese martial arts first emerged to its golden age and has probably been around for only 100
years."
He raised his head and looked at Huang Yuming as he said, "Is 100 years considered a long history?"
"Professor Lu seems to imply that it's probably more than 100 years old," said Huang Yuming as his face turned solemn instantly.
If this symbol or word really had a long history behind it, how far back did it exist then?
Jiang Ning stopped talking the moment he heard Huang Yuming.
Jiang Ning didn't doubt himself, but he investigated Lu Jing before, and this man had high academic achievement. If he weren't so stubborn and knew how to get along with people, he would have become a big hit in his field.
But regardless of his shortcomings, Lu Jing was undoubtedly talented.
Since he claimed the cloud symbol had a long history, then chances were high that he was right.
"Things seemed to have become more complicated," said Jiang Ning as he frowned.
Jiang Ning initially thought things were straightforward. He wanted to find the man behind the tattoo and completely destroy his forces.
Jiang Ning thought he could take His Lordship out very quickly when he surfaced. Then he could finish this last mission and enjoy a blissful life with Lin Yuzhen.
But now, things had gotten increasingly complicated.
It was highly possible that His Lordship wouldn't be his end goal! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Even Hidden Sect would no longer be his final goal.
"Yuming, get Zhao to work with Professor Lu and help him find out more about his
work as soon as possible," said Jiang Ning immediately. "Also, talk to Tan Xing about the local martial arts circle and get him to pay close attention to it. I have a feeling something is about to happen."
"Yes, Big Boss!" replied Huang Yuming. He knew things were getting complicated.
Although nothing happened yet, he couldn't guarantee that this peace could go on, so he had to plan for a rainy day.
"Interesting. Things are getting very interesting," sneered Jiang Ning, "His Lordship certainly won't die from suffering my attack, but he will be critically injured, so he probably won't surface in a while. We have to find the manual before he does!"
