Chapter 115: The Spoiled Little Troublemaker (28)

At that time, Jiang Zhiran was furious and replied to his special assistant: "From now on, no news about the Ning family needs to be passed on to me."

It’s just that—I never expected that in just a few days, things would have developed to such a serious level.

For a moment, Jiang Zhiran's thoughts became a mess and he couldn't sort them out.

The methods used by the head of the Ning family were indeed not clean, but that man was Qingwu's biological father after all.

Qingwu, on the other hand, wanted a happy family. She no longer had a father...

But now...

Time seemed to freeze for an eternity. Finally, Jiang Zhiran sighed deeply and said slowly, "For now, let's hold our ground and observe how the situation develops."

"Gu Qingyu is not an easy person to deal with. I'm afraid he's keeping a close eye on me. So, I have to first find out what's going on with the Ning family."

Jiang Zhiran thought to himself that perhaps it was because he was too doting on Qingwu that made her so fearless.

This time, Qingwu should suffer a little and know the cruelty of this world.

——As long as Qingwu admits her mistake to him, he will forgive her and act as if nothing had happened. He will still be kind to Qingwu in every way in the future.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Zhiran's brows were still tightly furrowed. He always felt that... he had made a similar mistake before?

He turned around and instructed his special assistant beside him again, "Continue to pay close attention to the Ning family's every move. If you find any abnormal situation, report it to me immediately."

Lu Tingkan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, wondering what this young couple was up to.

However, since the message has been successfully delivered, his mission is accomplished and he can retire.

The lighter made a crisp "click" sound, and the flame leaped out. The jumping flames illuminated Jiang Zhiran's face. The interweaving of light and dark highlighted the pain and confusion in his eyes, like a bottomless pool, which was heartbreaking.

At this moment, negative news about the Ning Group flooded the Internet.

[Shocking news! Ning Group evaded taxes.]

This headline instantly dominated the headlines of major social media platforms, causing an uproar.

Then, [A wealthy Phoenix man? A scumbag from a grassroots background! ]

【Don’t be greedy for illegal wealth! 】

[Ning Group changes management! ]

A series of highly impactful topics have appeared on the hot search list, and the popularity continues to rise.

Faced with such overwhelming public opinion, the public relations department of Ning Group took quick action to try to suppress the negative news, but their efforts seemed ineffective.

Every rumor-refuting statement is like a small stone thrown into the sea, which creates a ripple before being submerged by the rolling waves without a trace.

On the contrary, these unfavorable news became more and more rampant, as if there was someone manipulating them behind the scenes. They continued to flow into the Ning Group like a tide, plunging it into an unprecedented predicament.

At the same time, the stock price of Ning Group was also severely affected and plummeted.

You know, the Ning Group used to have the support of the Jiang Group. It was a powerful force in the industry and no one dared to provoke it easily.

However, in this incident, the Jiang Group unexpectedly chose to stand by and watch, turning a blind eye to the crisis of the Ning Group. This abnormal attitude is really puzzling.

While the outside world was buzzing with speculation, in that luxurious and secluded private residence, the head of the Ning family was indulging in the tender affection with his lover.

Under the crystal chandelier, ambiguous light and shadow swayed. The head of the Ning family had a smug smile on his face, and his fingers were gently entwined with his lover's hair.

At this moment, he felt that there was no greater happiness in life than this - holding a gorgeous beauty in his arms and controlling endless power and enviable wealth in his hands.

However, this moment of tranquility was instantly broken.

The sound of hurried footsteps exploded in the corridor, and then the door was violently slammed open.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and the door was violently slammed open.

A group of law enforcement officers in neat uniforms filed in like a tide. They walked with steady steps and serious expressions. Their cold gazes were like sharp arrows, shooting straight at the head of the Ning family who was sitting on the sofa.

The leading law enforcement officer had a stern expression on his face, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful. "Chairman Ning, preliminary investigations have revealed that you are suspected of serious tax evasion and illegal fundraising, among other crimes. We are now formally investigating you in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Please cooperate with us and come with us."

Hearing these words, the head of the Ning family seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. His eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of astonishment.

The smug smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a pale complexion, as if all the blood had been drained out.

He was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

After a long while, he came to his senses and roared angrily, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! There must be something wrong! How could I, the dignified head of the Ning family, do such a thing!"

He roared as he suddenly stood up from the sofa, almost falling to the ground in such haste.

At this moment, he had completely lost his usual composure and seemed a little panicked.

He frantically adjusted his slightly messy clothes with his hands, trying to maintain the last bit of decency and dignity in front of this group of law enforcement officers.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!" The head of the Ning family opened his eyes wide and roared at the top of his lungs, trying to scare away these law enforcement officers with his power and prestige.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes wide, staring intently at the law enforcement officer in front of him, veins bulging on his forehead. "I've been in the business world for so many years, and I've always been cautious with every step. How could this happen? Have you been misled?"

The lover standing beside her was already frightened out of her wits. She was trembling all over and curled up in the corner of the sofa, not daring to even breathe.

The head of the Ning family has always been absolutely confident in his financial operations. He feels that everything he does is flawless and cannot be detected by anyone.

However, now faced with the solid evidence before him, he began to feel a surge of panic in his heart.

How could it be revealed suddenly?

"These are the evidences we have obtained after a long and in-depth investigation. Please cooperate with our next work." The law enforcement officer remained calm and unwavering.

The head of the Ning family's gaze slowly fell on the thick pile of documents, and his face instantly became paler.

He stretched out his right hand with difficulty, wanting to take the document to check its contents, but at this moment, he was horrified to find that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
