Chapter 125 Anger

Xie Ming stared at Gu Ningwei in surprise. He hadn't expected him to be so direct. He paused and said hesitantly, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Ningwei smiled meaningfully. "Thank you, reporter. I just want to ask, is today's incident related to you?"

Xie Ming was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly flushed. He shouted at Gu Ningwei, "Boss Gu, what you said is really harsh. What do you mean today's incident has anything to do with me? I helped save Han Que, not harmed him. Can you please understand this clearly?"

Gu Ningwei smiled without saying anything, his eyes fixed on him.

Xie Ming glared at him and scoffed, "It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know how kind people are. I saved the wrong person. It's really..."

He muttered to himself and turned to leave.

"I'm sorry, I didn't speak carefully. I apologize to you. But I also have something to say..." Gu Ningwei said behind him.

Xie Ming stopped and turned his back to him.

"But what I said is also true. What happened today is indeed related to you." Gu Ningwei continued, "You know what's going on."

"Is it related to me? Did I hire someone to hit Han Que?" Xie Ming turned around and pointed at his nose. "Han Que's pregnancy affects the interests of your Gu family and the He family, not mine. Does she have anything to do with me? Use your brain and don't doubt others for everything you encounter."

Gu Ningwei's smile remained undimmed. He said, "But if you hadn't lost your patience and provoked He Lian without solid evidence, alerting the enemy and exposing yourself to the public, why would they be targeting you? Since they're targeting you, then everyone connected to you will also be targeted. Han Que is one of them. Isn't this related to the situation?"

Xie Ming's face froze.

He didn't expect that Gu Ningwei even knew everything about his investigation into the cash flow of He Lian Gallery.

Gu Ningwei took a few steps forward, approached Xie Ming, and lowered his voice to say to him, "Think carefully about it. Did you offend He Lian? The He family's background is something you, a small reporter who has been fired, can't possibly offend."

"So what if I go to investigate? Shouldn't we let people investigate the things they did themselves?" Xie Ming said stubbornly.

"Yes, they did something they shouldn't have done, but what can you do about it if you investigated? But what about the results of your investigation? Can they be made public? If they can be made public, why did your company fire you? Why did the platform block your account?"

Xie Ming remained silent.

Gu Ningwei glanced at him sideways: "Do you know what this is?"

"What?" Xie Ming couldn't help but mutter.

"It's extremely foolish to try to hit a rock with an egg." Gu Ningwei said bluntly.

“…”

"And..." Gu Ningwei was even more furious when he thought of Han Que almost getting hit by a car because she saw him. He continued, "Can you honestly say that everything you did was based on journalistic ethics when reporting these things? Or did you have some other motive? You deliberately went to Han Que's mother, digging for clues from an elderly woman who had suffered severe physical and psychological trauma. Where is your professional ethics? You also knew that He Lian had mental problems and that she was completely unaware of your shady dealings, yet you intimidated and threatened her, causing her to attempt suicide. Where is your moral bottom line as a journalist?"

Gu Ningwei said this with gritted teeth, staring fiercely at Xie Ming.

Xie Ming looked like he had been slapped hard in the face. His face turned red and white, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Gu Ningwei stared at his face with sinister eyes and said viciously, "You asked Han Que to help you find clues? You knew she was pregnant, but you ignored her safety. Is that right? I'm telling you, Xie Ming, if anything happens to them, I'll never let you go."

He walked over and grabbed Xie Ming by the collar of his shirt, gritting his teeth and saying, "You'd better pray for them to be okay."

Xie Ming was unable to refute. He struggled hard, but Gu Ningwei held on tightly. While they were struggling, the door of the imaging room opened and Fang Jiayan came out pushing Han Que's wheelchair.

Han Que was shocked when he saw this and quickly called out, "Gu Ningwei."

Gu Ningwei then loosened Xie Ming's collar, quickly walked over to Han Que, squatted down, and touched her hand: "How are you?"

Han shook his head, "It's okay."

Gu Ningwei asked again: "Where is the child?"

Han also shook his head, "Fortunately, nothing happened."

Gu Ningwei breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death."

He reached out to touch Han Que's hair.

Han turned his face away, avoiding his hand, and looked at Xie Ming on the other side. He frowned and complained, "What were you doing just now? It was Xie Ming who saved me. If he hadn't arrived in time, the child and I might have been in trouble."

Gu Ningwei nodded.

Han glared at him again, frowned, and said, "Are you suspecting that he has something to do with this matter again?"

Gu Ningwei quickly denied it, "No, no, I was just asking. Mainly because you got hit, I was worried, and I got anxious as I was talking."

"What's wrong?" Han rolled his eyes at him, motioning him to move aside. Fang Jiayan pushed the wheelchair to Xie Ming and smiled at him, saying, "Mr. Xie, I really want to thank you for today. If you hadn't arrived in time to stop it, the child might really have been lost."

Xie Ming lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled bitterly, "You're welcome."

Han Que turned back to look at Gu Ningwei and introduced him, "Mr. Xie, this is Gu Ningwei. I'd like to introduce you to each other. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly. If there's anything we need to cooperate on, we can also discuss it with him directly."

Xie Ming raised his eyes to glance at Gu Ningwei, then lowered them again and said in a low voice, "I don't have anything to ask."

Han asked, a little puzzled, "Hey, when we met, didn't you tell me that you had some news about Gu Ningwei? Now that you all know each other, you can tell him directly. And as for your conditions, you can just tell him directly without me having to pass on the message."

Xie Ming smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry. You should have a good rest. We can talk about these things later."

Han looked at him in surprise and said, "Hey, didn't you say you were in a hurry..."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Xie Ming said quickly. He quickly glanced at Gu Ningwei beside him and said in a low voice, "I'm going back first. We can talk later if there's anything else. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Han, however, said "Hey" several times from behind, but he didn't even look back.

"This guy is really..." Han complained, then looked up at Ning Wei: "You must have said something unpleasant to him. I think you have more than 10,000 tricks in your head. You are suspicious of everyone. I was hit by someone this time, and it has nothing to do with him. Why are you so angry with him? Why are you arguing with him?"

Gu Ningwei squatted down again and touched her hand. His dark eyes looked deeply into her, as if he wanted to see into her heart. He whispered, "It's all my fault."

"Blame you?" Han looked at him puzzledly: "Why should I blame you? It wasn't you who hit me."

Gu Ningwei sighed and said in a lower voice, "Actually, Jiang Jin reminded me before that I should be more careful about your safety. He was afraid that the He family and my uncle would target you..."

He sighed, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I was too careless and didn't take his words to heart. This time it's a lesson for us."

Han looked into his regretful and sad eyes, his heart softening. After a long while, he slowly said, "Hey, this kind of thing can't be stopped by just paying attention to it. Besides, what do you want me to do? Stay at home every day and never go out? That's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Gu Ningwei shook his head and sighed: "You should stay at home every day from now on. Otherwise, I will be worried."

Han frowned and said, "Impossible."

Gu Ningwei said firmly, "Even if it's impossible, it has to be possible. I won't allow you to go out alone again."

"How dare you." Han became irritated. She looked up at Fang Jiayan, who was trying to suppress her laughter while eating melons, and said, "Jiayan, this person wants to restrict my personal freedom. I will move to your house tomorrow."

Fang Jiayan glanced at Gu Ningwei, then smiled at her and said, "Moving to my house won't work. Yuanhao's house is being renovated, so he moved in with me. It won't be convenient for you to go there."

Han was so angry that he gritted his teeth and twisted her hand: "Who are you, a bad friend."

Gu Ningwei drove to pick up Han Que. He kept a stern face and stared at the road ahead without looking away.

Han lazily sat in the passenger seat, looking around. She turned on the car stereo and listened to the radio, switching several channels in succession. Finding there was nothing to listen to, she turned it off again.

She was bored and started fiddling with the bell hanging on the rearview mirror, making it jingle.

She played for a long time and finally felt bored. She looked at Gu Ningwei's face from the side and said with a smile: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Your face used to be very beautiful, but now it's so long that it doesn't look good at all. Are you angry?"

Gu Ningwei didn't look at her, his face still stern as he said, "Could you please sit still, fasten your seatbelt, and stop moving around? If I brake suddenly, you'll get hit somewhere."

"Hey, you look so anxious, isn't it all right?" Han muttered, lowering his head to pick at his nails.

"It's okay." Gu Ningwei snorted. "It's okay this time, but what about the future? Who can guarantee that you'll be okay? You know that now that you're being watched, can't you be more careful and stop running around without any reason, okay?"

He paused. "Also, what do you want to see Xie Ming for? Isn't it enough that he killed your mother? You're still associating with him."

Han said nothing, she felt a little guilty.

After a long while, she said, "He said he had some news about you. I want to know what it is."

"My news?" Gu Ningwei's face turned even more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and said, "What news about me? Am I out having fun and having sex with women? Or am I hooking up with some woman behind your back?"

He turned his head and looked at her, and said bitterly: "Han Que, why don't you trust me?"

"No..." Han defended, "It's not about those things. From the way he spoke, I think someone is targeting you... I'm curious and want to know what information he has."

"What's going on against me?" Gu Ningwei sneered, disdainfully saying, "There are so many people targeting me, I'm not afraid of anything. Besides, what inside information could Xie Ming have?"

"I don't know..." Han lowered his head and his voice gradually became lower: "He proposed an exchange, but I refused."

"What's the exchange?"

"He wanted your internal audit investigation report on Chengguang, but I said I couldn't get it." Han said in a low voice.

"Audit investigation report?" Gu Ningwei sneered again. "I don't even have that report. Where can you get it? All the audit investigation data is in Jiang Jin's hands. If you really want it, just ask him directly."

Han Que blinked her clear eyes, but she didn't dare to say that Xie Ming also asked her to go to Jiang Jin to ask for it.
