Chapter 51: Dogs Fighting Dogs
The crowd fell silent instantly.
Everyone instinctively turned around in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a dark green military uniform standing behind them.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he exudes a bloodthirsty and oppressive aura.
Xu Qiaofeng's gaze swept over everyone in the room, finally settling firmly on Ning Tang.
The chill in his eyes vanished instantly, and he strode away quickly.
People around instinctively stepped back, automatically making way for them.
Xu Qiaofeng strode over to Ning Tang's side, not giving Zhang Jiaman a second glance, but staring intently at Ning Tang.
His voice was as cold as ever, but he adopted a very humble posture.
"I'm late, I hope I didn't scare you?"
Ning Tang's heart softened instantly.
Shaking his head, just as he was about to speak, Zhang Jiaman preemptively interrupted them, forcefully cutting into their conversation.
"Captain Xu, you've finally arrived."
"Comrade Ning Tang is morally corrupt; even her ex-boyfriends have come to the hospital! Captain Xu, I know you are a responsible person, but you can't let a bad woman cloud your judgment!"
"This is a hat with colors on it; once you put it on, you can't take it off!"
Xu Qiaofeng then looked up at the chattering Zhang Jiaman, his eyes instantly turning cold.
"A moment of confusion? Or a deterioration of moral character?"
"You made my wife bear a false accusation. Isn't that malicious and deliberate slander?"
The man's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp blade, making Zhang Jiaman unable to lift her head.
She forced herself to maintain a facade, feeling that Xu Qiaofeng had been deceived by Ning Tang, this woman who pretended to be innocent, and that she had a responsibility to pull him out of the vortex and bring him to his senses.
Zhang Jiaman continued defiantly:
"Captain Xu, you may not believe that I can understand, but now we have both witnesses and physical evidence, these are undeniable facts."
"What evidence?"
Zhang Jiaman quickly pulled Liu Mingqiang, who had secretly hidden himself when he sensed something was wrong, out of the room.
"His name is Liu Ming, and he was Ning Tang's ex-boyfriend."
"Ning Tang became greedy for wealth and status after being with him and abandoned him. Isn't that proof enough?!"
Xu Qiaofeng's deep gaze fell on Liu Ming.
His shoulders trembled with fright.
This man doesn't look like someone to be trifled with.
Already feeling guilty, Liu Ming now wished he could disappear into the ground and pretend to be dead.
"I...I..."
Seeing him dawdling, Zhang Jiaman pinched his arm from behind and urged him in a low voice.
"Hurry up and tell us! Explain everything about your past with Ning Tang, so Captain Xu can see her true colors!"
I thought that after saying that, Liu Ming would tell me everything in one go.
Unexpectedly, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
He was just a hired hand and didn't know who Ning Tang was at all; everything he learned was taught to him by Ning Xin.
This man is Ning Tang's husband, and he seems to hold a fairly high-ranking official position.
I'm just a peasant; if I offend him, I'm sure I'll suffer the consequences.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming suddenly ran back to the crowd and grabbed Ning Xin, who was about to run away, with lightning speed.
They sold the person without hesitation.
"It's her! She's the mastermind behind it all!"
“I don’t know this doctor named Ning Tang at all. This is the first time we’ve met. All that talk about abandoning her husband and children is a lie. She paid me to say it!”
Ning Xin's face turned as white as a sheet of paper in an instant.
He shook his head frantically: "You're talking nonsense!"
"I don't even know you. I came to the hospital to have my dressing changed. How can you accuse an innocent person like this!"
Seeing that she dared not admit it, Liu Ming became even more flustered.
So he recounted everything that had happened on the road in just a few words.
She even went so far as to say behind Zhang Jiaman's back that she was troublesome and pretentious.
Seeing Ning Xin's utterly dejected expression, Zhang Jiaman beside her wished she could slap this bitch to death.
She pounced on Ning Xin, straddled her, and slapped her hateful face twice.
"Fine! You bitch!"
"Didn't you say you'd guarantee Ning Tang would be so scared she'd wet herself when she saw her lover? No wonder I felt something was off before. How could Ning Tang, a pampered city girl, date this country bumpkin!"
"So all of this was fake! Ning Xin, you bitch, you used me as a pawn to bring down your own sister!"
The fact that Ning Xin uttered "bitch" several times in a row shows that she was truly so angry that she lost her temper.
Ning Xin struggled desperately on the ground, trying to dodge the slaps that were about to land on her face.
"Who told you that? It's all fake. It's just Ning Tang's way of making sure we fight like dogs. Don't believe it."
"She's just feeling guilty, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to admit it? Ever since Xu Qiaofeng arrived, she's been pretending to be weak. This woman is incredibly cunning."
Ning Xin simply refuses to admit it.
With so many people watching, if she goes along with Zhang Jiaman's words, everyone will know that she took money from her.
She's already spent all that money and can't pay it back at all.
And if Zhang Yanfei finds out, he'll definitely beat her to death.
They must stubbornly deny it, since Zhang Jiaman has no evidence anyway.
At this moment, Ning Tang seemed to see through her little scheme and suddenly said to Liu Ming:
"You already know the consequences of spreading rumors about military family members, right?"
“My husband is a soldier, and I am a military wife. Now, because of you, I have to endure so much misunderstanding and malice from so many people, and even the child in my womb has to endure cold stares.”
"I believe you are a person of conscience. If the person standing here today were your family member, would you still remain silent?"
Just now, when Ning Tang was silent, she noticed scratches on Liu Ming's neck.
It wasn't from a fight; it was a very small scratch, probably something a child accidentally caught.
So I decided to say that and see what happens.
Surprisingly, I guessed right.
When Liu Ming looked up again, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. When he turned to look at Ning Xin, he gritted his teeth and said:
"This is the deposit she gave me, saying she'll pay the balance after things go smoothly!"
"At the time, she even told me that Ning Tang was an illegitimate child that her mother had brought back from outside, not her biological sister. She said that Ning Tang had stolen her things and that she had hired me to come to the hospital on purpose to make her lose face, get beaten up by her husband, and then get a divorce!"
As soon as he said that...
All eyes in the room immediately fell on Ning Xin.
Zhang Jiaman paused in her hand movements.
What?
Are Ning Xin and Ning Tang not biological sisters?
Were they adopted?
Seeing that Liu Ming had exposed Ning Xin's biggest secret, she felt as if all her energy had been drained away and collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were filled with fear.
Zhang Jiaman finally realized what was happening.
It turns out I was a fool who was played from beginning to end.
She got up from Ning Xin, pointed at her nose, and cursed, "Today I'm going to show everyone what kind of person you are!"
As she spoke, she reached out to pull at Ningxin's clothes.
When people are angry, their strength is boundless. Before she knew it, Ning Xin's collar was torn open, and a large piece of fabric fell down.
What catches the eye—
His body was covered in bruises from being whipped.
Everyone gasped in surprise—
