Chapter 412 I'm afraid I won't be able to go home tonight.

Sitting in her office, Lin Wanrong hugged her head, her thin shoulders trembling.

Time is slowly passing by...

It just won't stop.

The office was completely silent.

It was as if Lin Wanrong was a dead person, or simply did not exist.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Wanrong raised her head. Her face was heavily made up, with prominent features, but her complexion was very pale.

Her eyes were both chaotic and sinister.

"How about we just..."

If you're going to do something, do it all the time.

Today, it's a rare occasion for Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan to part ways.

Because Lu Junyan had a very important project at the Lu Group that required his personal attention, Jiang Ning came to inspect the school invested in by the Lu Group alone.

Of course, she had bodyguards with her.

Her phone rang as the inspection was nearing its end.

At first, Jiang Ning thought it was Lu Junyan calling her, but the caller ID showed an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hello?"

Jiang Ning tentatively answered the phone.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line; not a sound came out.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to hang up, thinking the other party had dialed the wrong number, a voice finally came from the receiver:

"President Jiang, it's me..."

Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.

Judging from the tone of the other person's voice, the two of them obviously knew each other, but Jiang Ning couldn't tell at first glance from the other person's voice on the phone.

"So you are..."

"I am Wang Jun."

The name made Jiang Ning's eyelids pop up immediately.

Jiang Ning remained silent for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Has Attorney Wang finally come to his senses and decided to switch jobs to my Jianglu Group?"

"..."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Wang Jun on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

After a long pause, Wang Jun hung up the phone, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but purse his lips.

Recently, she felt that Wang Jun must be having a very difficult time.

Because she had Lu Junyan hire some professionals to secretly sneak into Wang Jun's home.

Regardless of whether Lin Wanrong actually took any action.

In short, she really did take it.

When she sneaked into Wang Jun's house, she also asked Lu Junyan to tell him not to make a mess of the place.

If it was Lin Wanrong who instigated it, she would absolutely not want Wang Jun to find out.

Lin Wanrong's goal was to obtain the real will that Wang Jun had hidden without anyone noticing.

Therefore, the people she and Lu Junyan sent out also had to disguise themselves as that.

Jiang Ning was not afraid that Wang Jun had not discovered it.

As a lawyer, Wang Jun has always been cautious.

Recently, she has become neurotic due to a conflict with Lin Wanrong.

So it was only a matter of time before they discovered someone had entered their home.

Furthermore, she hired a private investigator to follow Wang Jun.

Jiang Ning believes that under the pressure from various sources, Wang Jun will eventually succumb to the immense mental strain.

Having lost crucial evidence that Lin Wanrong had murdered Lin Jingcheng, Wang Jun became her only breakthrough point.

She absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to call Wang Jun back, someone added her on WeChat.

The note indicates it is Wang Jun.

After Jiang Ning added Wang Jun on WeChat, she immediately received a message from him with the time and location.

At 10 PM, at the Jingjiang Wharf, you come alone.

This passage made Jiang Ning sense a hint of danger.

However, Jiang Ning shrugged and smiled.

Wang Jun contacted her today...maybe it's a good omen.

Jiang Ning was busy all day, during which Lu Junyan called her several times.

"I'm not Xiaoman, you don't need to be so worried!"

Jiang Ning gave a wry smile.

“Your current situation is much more dangerous than Xiaoman’s; at least Xiaoman doesn’t run around.”

Lu Junyan's voice, coming from the phone, was very serious.

Jiang Ning's smile became even more absurd.

"Can you please stop treating me like a child? I was fine during those two years on W Island without you by my side."

"..."

Lu Junyan fell silent.

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered what Bai Yichen had said to her.

She had a pretty good two years on W Island, but Lu Junyan had a very bad two years.

Scenes she hadn't witnessed involuntarily surfaced in Jiang Ning's mind—

Alone, Lu Junyan carried a thermos and climbed the steps step by step to her tombstone. He took out the food he had prepared by hand from the thermos one by one, lit three incense sticks, knelt down, and remained kneeling.

Jiang Ning felt a tightness in his chest.

For Lu Junyan, her resurrection was a loss that was regained.

It's understandable that Lu Junyan would be afraid something would happen to her.

"Don't worry, with so many bodyguards around me, I'll be fine."

Jiang Ning reassured Lu Junyan.

"Hmm... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight. Please be careful by yourself."

"Even for Xiaoman's sake, I won't let anything happen to me."

Jiang Ning mentioned Xiaoman, which Lu Junyan found quite convincing.

Lu Junyan gave Jiang Ning a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Holding his phone, Jiang Ning took a deep breath, his expression serious.

Night falls.

The darkness of the night sky grew thicker and thicker.

Jiang Ning is about to leave.

This time should be just right for driving to Jingjiang Wharf.

Lu Junyan's bodyguards naturally wanted to go as well, but Jiang Ning stopped them.

“President Jiang, this is President Lu’s order. We cannot let you act alone under any circumstances. This is our job.”

"Yes, I understand, so I'll give you a job too."

Jiang Ning looked at the bodyguards and said solemnly.

...

10 PM, Jingjiang Wharf.

At this time, the dock was deserted and eerily quiet.

When Jiang Ning arrived, Wang Jun had not yet arrived.

Although it was summer, the sea breeze was salty and damp, making her feel a little cold, and she couldn't help but curl up into a ball.

"You're very punctual!"

Suddenly, Wang Jun's cold voice rang out behind Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning turned around and faced Wang Jun.

Jiang Ning noticed that Wang Jun had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. He looked emaciated, with dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he hadn't slept well for many days.

"Attorney Wang..."

Jiang Ning took the initiative to greet Wang Jun.

However, Wang Jun's attitude towards Jiang Ning was very cold.

Jiang Ning sneezed and sniffled.

"Attorney Wang called me here in the middle of the night, you didn't just want to enjoy the sea breeze with me, did you?"

Jiang Ning asked indirectly.

Wang Jun and Jiang Ning stood side by side, looking up at the dark sea ahead.

"President Jiang, I want to ask you... were you the one who recently had people follow me and rummage through my belongings?"

As Wang Jun asked the question, he turned to look at Jiang Ning and saw that Jiang Ning looked shocked.

What are you talking about?

Wang Jun scoffed.

"The reason I arranged to meet here at this time is because there's no one else here right now, so you can tell me the truth."
