After Helen and her husband left, Robert looked embarrassed and said to everyone:

"Please continue to enjoy the ball. If you have any business dealings, please contact this remarkable woman, Comrade Jiang Ning."

Jiang Ning also took the opportunity to greet everyone:

"I am the general manager of Jiang's Trading. If you are interested in doing import and export business in the future, you can come to Wangfu Road to find me. I will definitely help you find high-quality and low-priced goods to create the greatest profits for you."

Everyone raised their glasses to toast her from a distance, and then drank it all in one gulp.

They had heard about Jiang Ning's company and were hesitant before, but after meeting her in person, they were all eager to discuss the matter.

Among them are people from Japan and other countries, who have also seen the potential of China's vibrant market and have come to invest in China.

At this time, many large factories are controlled by the government. Investing in real industries is too slow to yield results, and there are no other avenues for investment, so people have no choice but to engage in import and export trade.

Shoes, socks, bags, and the like are especially cheap here, but once they are shipped abroad, the price often increases tenfold and the supply still can't keep up with demand.

Jiang Ning wrote down their names one by one, waiting for them to come to her door.

After the crowd dispersed, Ji Yang walked over with the cup in his hand.

"Did Jack make things difficult for you just now?"

Jiang Ning shook her head: "No, I did learn a lot when you introduced me to Jack's company. It's just that Jack's character isn't very good."

Ji Yang took a sip of his drink, his face full of apology:

"I'm truly sorry. I hope the surprise inspection of their company last time taught them a lesson."

"I'm afraid not. If they knew how to restrain themselves, they wouldn't have deliberately made fun of me in English in front of Robert just now." Jiang Ning said helplessly, taking a sip of her drink.

Just as the group was chatting, a sharp scream came from Sofia's room.

Jiang Ning rushed over and saw that Sophia had been hit on the forehead by a Transformers toy that had fallen from the cabinet.

She was trembling and crying loudly, seemingly quite frightened.

Her mother, Anna, rushed over and nearly fainted when she saw the blood on her forehead. She hugged her and asked in an exaggerated voice:

"Oh my god, can anyone tell me what happened?!"

Clearly, she had already concluded that it was either Jiaojiao or Tongtong who dropped the toy and hit her.

Jiaojiao quickly said, "We didn't touch the cabinet, the toy fell down by itself."

Tongtong also pointed out that they were half a meter away from the cabinet, so it was impossible for them to have accidentally bumped into it.

"What if you were shaking the cabinet on purpose?"

At that moment, Helen squeezed through the crowd of onlookers.

She told Anna that she saw Tongtong deliberately push the cabinet with her hand, which caused the toys to fall.

Tongtong was instantly stunned, looking at the crowd of onlookers, then at Jiang Ning, her eyes pleading:

"Mom, I didn't do that."

Jiang Ning immediately patted his head, squatted down beside him, and said:

"Don't be afraid. As long as you didn't do it, you don't need to worry about others framing you!"

Only after she squatted down did she realize that behind the row of cabinets there seemed to be a small window connecting to the next room.

If someone pushes the cabinet from the next room, the items on it are likely to fall off, or the cabinet itself might even tip over.

She couldn't help but feel a little scared; if the cabinet had fallen, Jiaojiao and Tongtong would definitely have been hit.

To confirm her idea, she told Lin Chen to quickly go check the next room.

Next door was a storage room, where he indeed found signs of someone stepping on it, and on the dusty table, he found a complete footprint.

“Robert, I request that the scene be cordoned off and the police be called. Someone is trying to murder my child.”

Lin Chen found Robert, his expression serious.

Helen intervened, "Isn't this a bit much? It's your child's fault, why are you making such a fuss over all of us? Why don't you just apologize to Sofia?"

At this moment, Sofia's mood gradually improved, and she said to Anna:

“It wasn’t Tongtong’s fault; he didn’t push the cabinet.”

Anna wore a cold expression, clearly disbelieving.

“Sophia, you don’t need to defend your friend. If he didn’t push it, why would the toy have fallen down?”

Jiang Ning felt that Anna's words were extremely misleading, and solemnly said:

"Let's call the police. They'll give us the answer."

The crowd began to discuss the matter, with some saying it was a minor incident and there was no need to involve the police, while others believed that only the police could provide a reasonable explanation.

Robert had no choice but to ask someone to call the police.

Upon learning that the case involved foreign nationals, the police arrived quickly and learned what had happened.

Lin Chen also informed the police about the footprints he had found.

The police immediately noticed that the shoe prints were from a woman's high heels, and they were new shoe prints.

Police immediately arranged for a search, and all the women's shoes at the scene were required to have their prints taken.

When it was Helen's turn, she leaned back and shouted that this was a violation of human rights.

"Why should I do this? I'm going to sue you!"

She absolutely refused to leave her footprints on the blank paper.

Jiang Ning immediately guessed that she was the one who pushed the cabinet, which was why she seemed so guilty.

She went to the kitchen, asked someone inside for some flour, and while Helen wasn't looking, sprinkled it on the floor so that Helen would accidentally step on it.

While she was still shouting, everyone's eyes were fixed on her feet, and the clear footprints left on the floor were exactly the same as the footprints in the room.

By this point, she knew she had been completely exposed.

"No, I didn't mean to kill anyone. I just wanted the toy to hit the two kids who were closer to the cabinet. But the toy fell too far and hit Sophia instead."

She tried to explain herself.

It turned out that after she had embarrassed herself, she went to the restroom. When she came back, she passed by the room where the children were playing and heard Jiaojiao and Tongtong talking about how amazing their mother was. She then realized that they were Jiang Ning's children.

Out of revenge, she went next door and pushed over the cabinet.

She may have initially intended to hit the two children with the toy, but the police still have doubts about her statement.

With Robert's consent, Helen was taken away by the police.

Jiang Ning and the others also went to the police station to give statements.

They insisted that Helen was guilty of intentional homicide.

I can't vent my anger without giving her a good beating.

Robert didn't immediately step in to protect her; she wanted revenge, and ended up causing Sophia to suffer, which is simply unforgivable.

Jack was completely panicked and didn't know who to ask for help.

Helen had no choice but to advise him to contact the US and find the best lawyer to help.

Jiang Ning was not to be outdone and hired the best lawyers in the country to deal with the situation.

The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and there was also collateral damage. Helen will face severe legal punishment.
