Previous life, Jiang Ning's whole family were cannon fodder in a novel about the protagonists' rise to fame and success, living as a contrasting background to them. Under the crushing press...
Lin Chen was so concerned that he lost his composure, and it was inevitable that he would be momentarily flustered.
Under Gao Baoliang's persuasion, he quickly adjusted his mindset and went to the police station.
At this moment, Jiang Ning is being interrogated in the interrogation room.
If direct evidence cannot be found within 24 hours, a criminal suspect must be released.
The forensic doctor examined Xu Jie's body and made a preliminary judgment that he had been in a fierce fight with someone before he died, and that there was still skin tissue of the other person under his fingernails.
His fatal wound was to the back of his head, but the real cause of death was drowning.
In other words, he was still alive when he was put into the sack, and only drowned after being thrown into the water.
An examination revealed that Jiang Ning had no broken skin, proving that there was no physical contact between the two.
Moreover, it would be difficult for Jiang Ning to knock a man unconscious with his physical strength. Based on the angle and force of the wound, it is more likely that he was injured by a man who was taller than him.
Jiang Ning was unaware of these things; she simply described her journey from suspicion to investigation.
He also mentioned Lin Tao, hoping the police would summon him for questioning.
“He’s a Hong Kong businessman, so we have to apply to our superiors before we can summon him,” the police officer told her.
Jiang Ning: "Then I have nothing more to say. I've told you all about my whereabouts, and I'll say it again and again. It's still the same."
While she was in the interrogation room, Lin Chen waited outside.
Others who received the news came to the police station one after another to find out what happened.
Lin Chen ran his fingers through his hair, sat in the chair with his head down, his expression indifferent, and kept muttering to himself.
“My wife is definitely innocent. She wouldn’t even dare to kill a chicken, how could she kill someone?”
Luo Guangming patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"I've already asked the design institute for leave for you. Don't worry about the company's affairs. Just spend some quality time with your sister-in-law. Without evidence, she should be out soon."
Others also offered words of comfort, telling him not to worry about things at home before they left.
"Is my mom alright?" Lin Chen was most worried about Wang Xiufen, who couldn't bear it.
With her two children still in the hospital and her daughter-in-law in an accident, this elderly woman may not be able to handle it.
Yang Lu: "Don't worry, Xiaoqiao is in the hospital. Aunt Wang hasn't told anyone, so she doesn't know yet."
Lin Chen was relieved.
But good news doesn't travel far, while bad news travels fast. The reason the police were able to pinpoint Jiang Ning's location so accurately was because Xue Mei reported it to the police.
She overheard Jiang Ning and Lucy's conversation and knew that Jiang Ning was looking for Xu Jie.
She saw Xu Jie and Lin Tao leave, and she didn't know what kind of cat-and-mouse game they were playing. Anyway, she was happy to see Jiang Ning get into legal trouble.
As she wished, Jiang Ning was arrested, and many reporters appeared at the entrance of the police station.
If Gao Baoliang hadn't asked the police to stop them, they would have rushed in.
Despite this, some television stations still broadcast news that Fuqiang Group had just completed the groundbreaking ceremony for a hotel the day before, and was arrested the next day.
Some tabloids, eager to boost their traffic, also jumped on the bandwagon and reported on Jiang Ning's story, which quickly became a topic of conversation among everyone.
Jiang Rou, who had spent the whole day working on a sewing machine in prison, was sitting watching the news after finishing her meal when she saw a news item that flashed by and suddenly felt much better.
Two days ago, she saw Jiang Ning making headlines in the news, and she felt extremely upset.
Jiang Ning became a female entrepreneur with tens of millions of assets, but she herself became a prisoner. The huge gap caused her to almost become psychologically twisted.
The next day, Sister Hong came to visit her, and Jiang Rou asked her mother about Jiang Ning's situation.
Sister Hong scoffed, "I heard that reporters have surrounded the police station. If Jiang Ning isn't released today, it will prove that she's involved in the murder case. Her career will be ruined."
No matter how glorious he was before, he'll still end up a prisoner.
Realizing she had said something inappropriate, she quickly tried to correct herself:
"Rou Rou, if you reform yourself well, you'll be able to get out in a dozen years. Then I'll take care of the restaurant for you."
Jiang Rou smiled and said, "You're not counting on Lu Ming anymore? He's your son."
Sister Hong chuckled, "After Lu Ming was beaten by Li Jiabao last time, he became disheartened and started gambling with those thugs all day long. He's so old, I can't control him anymore."
Jiang Rou: "If all else fails, find him a partner. Maybe marriage will solve everything. Gambling is no good; it'll ruin the family sooner or later. How much money do we have that he can squander?"
Sister Hong paused for a few seconds, then realized what she said made sense, and suddenly remembered someone.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Ji Tingting is back. She actually joined Jiang Ning's company to help her manage the import business."
I saw her once on the street; she was wearing high-end business attire, very stylish, and clearly doing quite well.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou urged:
"Mom, then let Lu Ming go after her. They were in love back then, and she even had a child with Lu Ming. There's something between them."
"Is it really possible?" Sister Hong was still a little apprehensive.
Jiang Rou smiled crookedly, "Ji Tingting is easily swayed and manipulated. If Lu Ming can win her over, wouldn't that be like adding a money tree to his collection?"
Hearing her daughter say this, Sister Hong secretly made up her mind and encouraged Lu Ming to boldly pursue her.
Even if it doesn't succeed, so what? What if it does succeed?
Jiang Rou returned to her cell after the visit, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She had a sense of smug satisfaction, as if she could still stir up a storm of bloodshed in the martial world even though she was no longer in power.
Just as she lay down on the bed, she suddenly felt something soft under her buttocks. She stood up and saw that it was a pile of feces.
She was furious, but she could only suppress her anger and silently clean up the mess.
She silently vowed that once she got out, she would take revenge on all those who had bullied her!
At that moment, Wang Xiufen, who had also seen the news, sat on the sofa and nervously dialed Yu Qi's number.
Yu Qi heard her voice, her tone gentle:
"Xiufen, what's wrong?"
Wang Xiufen twisted the telephone cord between her fingers, glanced left and right, and finally spoke.
"Brother Qi, I saw the news. It seems like my Ningning is in trouble. Can you help me deal with it?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qi quickly offered words of comfort.
"I already know about this. I've spoken with the director on the phone. Ningning will be released soon, so don't worry."
"Brother Qi, thank you." Wang Xiufen's voice was somewhat excited.
After that, neither of them spoke again. After about ten seconds, Yu Qi finally spoke, albeit with a slightly joking tone.
"Is this the only time you contact me? What have you thought about what I told you last time?"
Wang Xiufen blushed, and her voice trembled slightly.
"We're both getting old, isn't it inappropriate to talk about those things now?"
