Chapter 95 If you insist on going against your own uncle, won't you be doomed?
Ning Hai, with a cigar in his mouth, hurriedly walked out of the study, crossed the living room, and was about to leave without even changing his clothes.
"The nanny has already prepared the meal, where else do you want to go?" Ninghai's wife asked.
Ning Yao pouted, "Dad, you've either been too busy to come home lately, or you're always in your study dealing with things when you are. You finally agreed to have dinner with Mom and me, and now you're going out again?"
Ning Hai said with a smile, "Wife, daughter, I'm sorry, I owe you. I really have to go tonight."
He walked to the door, then turned back to give his wife a hug, beaming, "Honey, I'll get you a new car in a while."
"Me too!" Ning Yao shouted.
"No problem!" Ning Hai readily agreed. "Both you and your mother will be replaced!"
"Honey, can't we eat first before going?"
"No, no, I'm afraid I'll miss it."
"Then my daughter and I will wait for you to come back before we eat."
"You guys eat, don't wait for me."
"Take care, Dad."
Ning Yao and her mother saw Ning Hai off at the door.
Not long after, the driver arrived in a Rolls-Royce to pick them up.
Watching Ninghai's retreating figure as he prepared to get into the car, his wife suddenly called out, "Husband..."
Ninghai turned around, "What's wrong?"
His wife was also unsure why she suddenly seemed a little uneasy.
But thinking that her husband hadn't been this happy in a long time because of the Lu family's investment, she still smiled and reminded him, "Be careful, honey."
"Okay, I understand. You guys go back now." Ning Hai got into the car with a smile.
As he sat in the back seat, his secretary reported to him that, as instructed, they had contacted relevant leaders of the local police and sent messages to several well-known media outlets, telling reporters that something big had happened at a certain factory.
Of course, the secretary is not yet aware of the specifics.
Upon hearing this, Ning Hai couldn't stop smiling. He immediately told the driver to turn on the stereo and play some upbeat symphonic music. He even turned on the dazzling starry sky ambient lighting in the car and asked his secretary to pour him a glass of champagne.
The secretary was astonished.
The boss never acted like this when he rode in this car before.
They don't even listen to music anymore, let alone drink with ambient lighting on.
It seems something truly joyous has happened for the boss to be this happy.
The car suddenly stopped while it was driving.
Ning Hai frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Boss, it's a red light," the driver replied.
Ning Hai raised his chin. "Ignore everything, just drive through, and forget about the speed limit, floor the gas!"
The driver took a deep breath and gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Yes, boss!"
With the driver speeding along, they left the city center in less than twenty minutes.
Then we drove for a few more minutes along a highway.
Not long after exiting the highway, the driver saw a woman waving by the roadside, seemingly wanting a ride.
Because this area was close to the city outskirts, the driver asked Ninghai if he wanted to stop and check on the person.
Ning Hai replied without hesitation, "Don't worry about it, don't let it interfere with my business."
"Okay, boss." The driver then continued driving.
As the car passed by the woman, Ning Hai turned his head and couldn't help but take a second look.
The woman stood next to a red supercar. She had short hair, a thin face, and looked to be in her forties. She was dressed very fashionably, and her appearance was both capable and beautiful. In particular, her temperament was very special, which made Ning Hai's heart skip a beat.
He hadn't felt this kind of instant attraction in a very, very long time.
If it weren't for something urgent, he would have liked to stop and see if the person was in any trouble, and get to know them better.
After a brief glance through the car window, the Rolls-Royce drove past.
"Looks like I can't get a ride..." Shangguan Ying withdrew her arm, glancing back at the supercar beside her with a wry smile.
This thing is pretty fast since we've been on the highway since we left the airport.
However, because the chassis was too low, it was not suitable for driving on this road after exiting the highway. Just when we were about to reach the factory, we crashed into a section of uneven road and damaged the chassis.
I had just gotten out of the car when I saw a Rolls-Royce drive by.
She waved to him on a whim, but he completely ignored her.
It seems the only option is to have the nearby military send a vehicle.
Shangguan Ying took out her phone to make a call.
Just then, a minivan drove by and stopped in front of her.
"Hello, do you need any help?" someone leaned out of the car window.
Shangguan Ying glanced at it and saw that there were various filming equipment in the car, and it was marked with the logos of news media.
“Are you reporters? I need to go to a nearby factory,” Shangguan Ying said, “but my car suddenly broke down. If it’s convenient, could you please give me a ride?”
The people in the car saw that she wasn't in the same industry and that there was only one factory nearby, so they let her get in.
"May I ask your name?" a reporter in the car asked.
"Just call me Shangguan," Shangguan Ying said with a smile.
The reporter then asked, "Are you from that factory?"
Shangguan Ying didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Where are you going to conduct an interview?"
The reporters exchanged glances, then smiled and said, "Sorry, it's internal work and we can't disclose that information."
Actually, they didn't know what had happened; it was just that their superiors had suddenly issued an order to send them over to take a look. Apparently, many news media outlets had also sent people to this area.
Just as the reporter was trying to get some clues out of Shangguan Ying, more than thirty police cars drove past their van.
With its police lights on, it sped along the road.
The reporter and his colleagues were greatly encouraged.
So many police officers have arrived?
Judging from this situation, it must be something big, some big news!
"Hurry up, keep up!" the reporter urged.
The driver stepped on the gas and sped up to catch up with the police car convoy.
About ten minutes later.
The police convoy arrived at the factory, and the van that Shangguan Ying was in also arrived. Soon after, more than a dozen other vehicles arrived, all of which were teams of reporters from various news media outlets.
The police did not want reporters to interfere with the investigation and originally intended to keep them outside the factory gate.
But there were just too many people, crowding in one after another.
The police didn't have time to argue with these smooth-talking guys who could control public opinion, so they simply put up a cordon outside the factory where the incident occurred and reminded them that they could film news footage nearby, but they absolutely could not go any further.
Zheng Houcheng was completely stunned when he saw the commotion.
He quickly asked the other senior executives around him what was going on and why the police and reporters had come.
All the factory's senior executives were completely bewildered.
They were waiting for news from the security team that had gone in earlier, but no one called the police, let alone summoned reporters.
Furthermore, they issued orders down the chain of command, confiscating mobile phones one by one to ensure that employees who gathered near the factory would not leak the information.
There is only one possibility: someone inside the factory where the incident occurred called the police and contacted reporters.
"Factory manager, the police are looking for you!"
"Factory manager! Reporters want to interview us!"
"Factory Manager..."
Zheng Houcheng was in a real bind. He immediately instructed his executives to deal with the reporters and not to say anything out of line. Then, avoiding the swarm of reporters, he quickly ran towards the police car.
The factory was more lively than a team-building event.
Shangguan Ying stood quietly among the bustling crowd of onlookers, observing the situation. After all, she still didn't know exactly what had happened.
She had just tried calling Ning Jinli's cell phone, but the call couldn't be connected.
Before she could figure out the situation, she couldn't just call over the military personnel who had been notified in advance, so she had to hold back for the time being.
Not long after, the people inside the factory where the incident occurred were brought out by the police.
Unable to extract any useful information from the factory executives or onlookers, a group of reporters swarmed past, carrying equipment and breaking the warning banners in the process.
"Don't come any closer! Don't take pictures!" a police officer immediately shouted.
But the next second, a captain-level police officer whispered something to him.
The police officers who tried to stop the reporters looked surprised, then nodded helplessly and stopped bothering them, letting the reporters surround the person being led away by the police and take pictures like crazy.
Shangguan Ying saw this scene in the crowd and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Logically, the police should have kept reporters out of the factory gate from the beginning. The fact that they didn't can be attributed to insufficient manpower or the urgency of the situation.
However, the current situation is clearly against the rules.
But the police tacitly approved it.
That's really strange.
But the strangest thing was yet to come.
After the people inside the factory were brought out, police officers carried a body out on a stretcher in front of everyone.
Although it was covered with a white cloth, large areas were stained red with blood, and a bloodied arm hung out.
It was clearly a person who died from severe external injuries.
This scene instantly caused gasps and uproar.
The reporters' cameras were all pointed at him.
The police officers didn't seem to intend to stop the filming; they even stopped at the factory gate, as if to say they were letting reporters take pictures of the factory at will.
This outrageous move made Shangguan Ying's brows furrow deeply.
There's a problem, there's definitely a problem!
Just then, her pupils suddenly contracted, because she saw Ning Jinli wearing handcuffs being escorted out by police officers, right behind the stretcher.
A death occurred in the factory...
The only one handcuffed was Ning Jinli...
Shangguan Ying fell into deep thought. Could it be that she killed someone?
So, I had to come here tonight to follow that order from many years ago, just to settle her case?
wrong……
The order might have been given because it was to settle tonight's case, but based on my understanding of her, she would never kill anyone.
In conjunction with the various problematic situations observed...
There are huge problems here.
It's okay, I'll definitely find out the truth and protect Ning Jinli.
On the other side, the core executives of the factory, led by Zheng Houcheng, were all dumbfounded.
Ordinary employees and even most factory leaders do not know Ning Jinli, but they do.
Why is our boss, who hasn't shown up in a long time, coming out of the factory?
Why are they handcuffed?!
What's with the body being carried on the stretcher?
They racked their brains but still couldn't come up with a solution.
"Huh? What are you doing here?" A middle-aged man's voice suddenly rang out behind Shangguan Ying.
Shangguan Ying turned around and immediately recognized the other person as Ning Jinli's uncle, Ning Hai.
Ning Hai didn't recognize her, nor did he know that she recognized him. He smiled and said, "You flagged me down on the roadside earlier, but I was in a hurry and didn't stop. I'm sorry. If I had known you were coming here too, I would have given you a ride."
Shangguan Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at him meaningfully.
"May I ask your surname?" Ning Hai asked again. "What are you doing here? I don't think I've seen you before in Xinghan City."
Ning Hai tried his best to appear more gentlemanly.
He has seen countless beautiful women in his life, and even his wife was one of the most beautiful women in Xinghan City back then.
However, the woman he met tonight was not only beautiful, but also had a very special aloof and arrogant temperament, which made her far superior to his wife.
He couldn't forget the glimpse he had seen through the car window earlier.
When they met again and saw each other up close, he found that she was even more captivating than before.
This gave him a feeling of being young again.
“My car broke down, so I hitched a ride. I didn’t expect it to be a news media car, so I came all this way,” Shangguan Ying replied casually without giving her name. “Besides, I’m not a local.”
Not being able to ask the other person's name made Ning Hai smile awkwardly.
Shangguan Ying's lips curled into a smile. "And you? What are you doing here?"
“My name is Ning Hai,” Ning Hai said immediately when she took the initiative to start a conversation. “To be honest, this factory belongs to my niece. I rushed here as soon as I heard about the incident.”
Shangguan Ying was well aware of the Ning family's situation and the grudges between Ning Hai and Ning Jinli.
Therefore, Ning Hai's appearance quickly aroused her suspicion.
"You care about her so much?" Shangguan Ying asked deliberately.
Ning Hai subconsciously showed a disdainful expression, "There's nothing to worry about. She brought it on herself, insisting on going against her own uncle. Now she's finished."
Shangguan Ying raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Judging from your tone, it seems you..."
Ning realized she had inadvertently let something slip and quickly added, "Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me. I just came to see her make a fool of herself."
"Then you are truly a good uncle." Shangguan Ying said with a half-smile.
Ning Hai said seriously, "I'm not afraid of making you laugh. To tell you the truth, I've always treated her like my own niece, but she's treated me like an outsider. It's a complicated relationship between us. In short... she's a terrible person."
A flash of coldness crossed Shangguan Ying's eyes, but she maintained a restrained smile and asked in a deliberately suspicious tone, "The police haven't given any specific details yet, and you're so sure she's finished?"
Standing in front of the woman he fell in love with at first sight, Ning Hai felt as if he had become more than ten years younger. The desire to show off that he had in his youth resurfaced, and he boasted, "I have some connections in this area. The high-ranking leaders in the police station's district are my friends, and I know some inside information."
"You're so amazing!" Shangguan Ying said with a look of admiration. "So, what exactly happened?"
Shangguan Ying's reaction instantly made Ning Hai feel a little smug, and he blurted out, "Actually, it's a murder case. Didn't you see? The body had just been carried out, and the murderer had already been arrested on the spot. The person who was handcuffed was my niece, Ning Jinli."
Shangguan Ying continued to probe, "Judging from the situation, the case must have only happened recently. The police haven't even interrogated her yet, and they can already determine that she's the murderer?"
