Chapter 98 What I'm about to show you is outrageous, but please believe me.
The surrounding reporters were in an uproar.
First, a young and beautiful female boss murdered her own factory security guard, and then someone impersonated a military major general in an attempt to prevent the police from taking the murderer away.
Moreover, all of this happened right in front of them, providing invaluable firsthand news material.
Their brains, eyes, and cameras were all practically smoking dry.
"Hmm? How did I impersonate someone?" Shangguan Ying raised an eyebrow.
Ning Hai retorted confidently, "I've never heard of a major general as young as you in our military, let alone a woman! Leader Zhang, have you heard of that?"
Leader Zhang paused for two seconds, then slapped his thigh, "That's right! I almost fooled her!"
Shangguan Ying gave a helpless smile, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist?"
Ning Hai sneered, "So it turns out you're in cahoots with Ning Jinli. Let me tell you, next time you'd better do your homework before you start pretending. Even if you impersonate someone of a lower level, it might actually work for a while. Oh wait, there won't be a next time."
"Come on! Arrest this woman who's impersonating a military major general!" Leader Zhang waved his hand and gave the order.
The military personnel had not yet arrived, so Shangguan Ying could only stall for time.
She glanced at the police officers walking towards her and said calmly, "Didn't you ever consider that I might actually be a member of the military?"
The military aura he inadvertently exuded made several police officers slow down.
Leader Zhang angrily rebuked, "Stop trying to scare me! This is a police investigation. Even if you were an imposter, or even if you really were a member of the military, you have no right to interfere!"
Then he shouted forcefully at the hesitant officers, "Why aren't you handcuffing her? What kind of behavior is this, dawdling like this!"
Shangguan Ying didn't want to fight the police officers and just kept avoiding them.
The police officers were all very agile, but they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Leader Zhang was so angry he wanted to curse. In front of reporters and cameras, several regular police officers couldn't even arrest a middle-aged woman? It was too embarrassing!
Seeing that the police officers were panting and questioning their existence, while the middle-aged woman remained unfazed, Leader Zhang had no choice but to leave only a few officers to keep an eye on Ning Jinli, while the rest of the dozens went to arrest people.
Shangguan Ying didn't run far. She dodged and weaved around the factory where the incident occurred. About ten minutes later, she vaguely heard the sound of military vehicle engines coming from the direction of the factory gate.
Our own people have finally arrived.
So she stopped avoiding him and walked back to Leader Zhang with light steps.
Meanwhile, the police officers who were surrounding her were exhausted and staggering, their legs feeling like they were made of lead, and they were moving slower than tortoises.
The reporters watching this scene covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Disgraceful bastards! It's so difficult for a group of people to catch just one person!" Leader Zhang cursed under his breath.
When the police officers around him saw Shangguan Ying run back, they immediately prepared to take action.
Enraged, Director Zhang grabbed a service pistol from a police officer's waist and pointed it at Shangguan Ying, who was three meters away. "Are you deliberately messing with me? Hands behind your head! Kneel down!"
Most people would have obediently complied upon seeing this.
Shangguan Ying crossed her arms, a slight, ambiguous smile playing on her lips, and said, "Wouldn't it be necessary to pull out a gun? I don't seem to have posed any threat to anyone's personal safety."
Leader Zhang's temples throbbed with veins. He rushed forward, pressing the dark muzzle of his gun against Shangguan Ying's forehead. "Kneel down! Hands behind your head! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a blur before his eyes, and the gun he was holding was somehow snatched away by the other party.
The surrounding police officers were terrified when they saw this.
The police officers' guns were stolen – this is a major incident!
Leader Zhang retreated slowly, trembling with fear, and mustered his courage to shout, "You...you put the gun down right now!"
Shangguan Ying calmly said, "I'm sorry, you're too agitated. I'm afraid you might accidentally discharge the gun and hurt innocent people."
"What are you all standing there for? Get your weapons out there!" Leader Zhang shouted at the police officers.
The police officers quickly drew their sidearms and aimed them at Shangguan Ying.
The scene instantly became extremely tense.
The factory workers who were watching nearby were so frightened that they quickly retreated, but a group of reporters, out of professional ethics, did not move away.
Ning Hai was so frightened that his heart pounded. He quickly found a nearby spot to use as cover and cautiously peeked out with half his head out.
Shangguan Ying calmly toyed with the gun in her hand. Leader Zhang immediately ordered, "Shoot her!"
Just as the officers were about to pull the trigger, they suddenly discovered that there was no magazine in the gun!
At the same time, Shangguan Ying skillfully removed the magazine from the gun in her hand and casually threw it on the ground.
Then she took out the magazines of other pistols from her pocket, scattered them all over the ground with a clatter, and said with a smile, "To avoid any accidents, when you were chasing me just now, I also removed the magazines from your sidearms."
The officers felt a chill run down their spines!
How did she do that?!
What a terrifying woman!
Everyone was speechless.
Suddenly, the sound of screeching brakes rang out.
Several military trucks arrived in front of the factory while everyone was still in a daze.
Dozens of heavily armed men in camouflage uniforms rushed out of the train carriage.
Leader Zhang's mind raced, and he immediately deduced that the military's sudden arrival must be because they had learned that someone was impersonating a major general here.
Otherwise, what other reason could there be?
It seems that the middle-aged woman has done this kind of thing quite often and has been targeted by the military. As soon as she showed up this time, the military mobilized to arrest her!
Thinking of all this, Leader Zhang felt a great sense of relief.
Fortunately, the military arrived; otherwise, they would have been no match for that woman.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stretched out his hand from a distance, and hurriedly ran to the officer in charge.
Out of courtesy, the officer in charge shook hands with him.
"Ah! You are..." Leader Zhang looked surprised. "You were the commander-in-chief of the last joint military-police special exercise!"
The officer nodded. "Who are you?"
Leader Zhang gripped his hand tightly and said excitedly, "I'm a junior leader in this police district. Our boss participated in the exercise and came back to show off the photo he took with you!"
This officer was of a very high rank, beyond the reach of Leader Zhang.
Regardless, at this moment, Leader Zhang felt completely at ease and hurriedly asked, "You're here to arrest that woman, aren't you?"
"Huh? Who are you arresting?" the officer asked, somewhat surprised.
Leader Zhang turned around and pointed to Shangguan Ying, who was about ten meters behind him, "It's her! She came here to impersonate your major general!"
The officer looked up and saw the woman standing in the circle of police officers. A look of respect flashed in his eyes, and without saying a word, he strode over to her.
Leader Zhang followed closely behind, beaming with delight.
As the two approached, before the officer could even salute and greet them, Leader Zhang pointed at Shangguan Ying's nose and yelled, "Impersonating a major general, aren't you! You're making a fool of me, aren't you! You even dared to steal my gun! You're dead! See this? This is a real military person!"
"Impersonating a major general? Stealing a gun?" The officer was stunned.
"That's right! Isn't this the place you're after?" Leader Zhang said, his face full of resentment. "Arrest her immediately and execute her eight hundred times over!"
Shangguan Ying burst out laughing.
"You can still laugh when you're about to die?!" Leader Zhang's eyes widened. Now that the military personnel were present, he felt his back straighten.
As he spoke, he raised his arm, intending to slap Shangguan Ying to deflate her arrogance and vent his own anger.
Snap!
A muffled thud.
The officer firmly held back the slap that was about to land on Leader Zhang.
"What do you want to do?" the officer asked coldly.
Leader Zhang gave an awkward smile, "I'll teach her a lesson for you first."
The officer released his grip, then stood at attention, gave Shangguan Ying a crisp salute, and called out loudly, "General Shangguan!"
"Sir, sir... General?!" Leader Zhang was dumbfounded and stammered.
Shangguan Ying returned the greeting, "Thank you for coming so late at night."
"It's no trouble at all!" the officer said in a loud voice. "General Shangguan, please give your instructions!"
Shangguan Ying said, "I didn't know what would happen here, so I asked you to help me arrange a team to prepare in advance. Now it seems that your trip was worthwhile."
She pointed to the leader Zhang next to her, who was already pale and sweating profusely, and said, "I just witnessed the whole process of him leading people to investigate the case. There are serious problems. Please help me take him and the police officers present away. I will contact the relevant departments and investigate it thoroughly later."
"Yes, General!"
The officer turned and made a hand gesture.
A group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms immediately ran over.
Seeing this, Leader Zhang felt like the sky had fallen, and he collapsed to the ground as if his soul had been drained.
With things having developed to this point, Ning Hai, who was watching from a distance, felt a chill run down his spine.
Everything was proceeding according to his plan.
No, it was even more perfect than he had planned.
With the case now confirmed, Ning Jinli was about to be taken away by the police.
result……
“That woman…” Ning Hai stared at Shangguan Ying’s retreating figure from afar, his pupils trembling. “She really is a general? When did Ning Jinli acquire such powerful connections?”
Ning Hai broke out in a cold sweat the more he thought about it.
When he saw that Leader Zhang and the police officers were being taken away on trucks by the military, he quickly realized that now was not the time to think about these things.
We need to get out of here right now!
I need to quickly find a way to distance myself from today's events and from Leader Zhang!
Otherwise, if it gets discovered, you'll be in deep trouble!
Ning Hai took a few deep breaths, braced his trembling legs, and crouched away from the vicinity of the factory. He then scrambled and crawled as if fleeing for his life, and only after getting into a car parked outside the factory gate did he regain his senses.
"Mr. Ning, what's wrong?" the secretary asked, looking surprised.
Ninghai, wiping his sweat, shouted to the driver, "Hurry...drive! Let's go! Let's get going!"
The driver asked, "Where are you going? Home or...?"
Ning Hai swallowed hard. "We can't go back. We need to leave here first!"
"Yes, President Ning."
...
Inside the factory, at the site of the crime.
Shangguan Ying used the key to unlock Ning Jinli's handcuffs, rubbed the red marks on her wrists, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
His calm tone carried a different kind of concern.
His attitude towards Ning Jinli didn't seem like they had only met twice.
Ning Jinli finally felt relieved and said gratefully, "I'm fine, Sister Ying, thank you..."
"You take a break," Shangguan Ying said with a smile. "I'll clean up this mess."
Then, Shangguan Ying gathered all the reporters present together.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she said with a smile and a friendly tone, "what happened tonight was a bit chaotic, but I can assure you that there was no murder, it was just an accident. Once the matter is thoroughly investigated, the relevant departments will hold a press conference."
"Considering that the personnel who just came to investigate the case were too hasty and caused a lot of misunderstandings, we hope that everyone will not disclose any information."
The reporters exchanged bewildered glances after hearing this.
They were reluctant to give up such a wealth of news material with so many twists and turns tonight, but they also didn't want to offend the military.
Shangguan Ying added, "I hope everyone will cooperate. If you publish today's events as news and mislead the public, it will have a negative impact. You probably don't want to take responsibility for that, do you?"
Now the reporters no longer hesitated and deleted all the recorded information in front of Shangguan Ying.
Just to be on the safe side, Shangguan Ying had the officers lead people to check each person one by one.
On the other side, Zheng Houcheng came to Ning Jinli.
He almost burst into tears, "Miss Ning... my dear Miss Ning, where... where have you been all this time?"
Ning Jinli looked guilty and held Zheng Houcheng's hand tightly.
It had only been a little over ten days since they last met, but Zheng Houcheng looked several years older than he had been just over two weeks ago.
His cheeks were sunken, his complexion was sallow, and he had a lot more white hair than before. He also had a wound on his forehead.
“Uncle Zheng…” Ning Jinli’s nose tingled with emotion. “You’re injured, why don’t you go to the hospital to get it treated?”
Zheng Houcheng shook his head repeatedly, "I'm fine, Miss Ning, please tell me quickly, why have you been missing for so long? And why did you come out of the factory, and... and almost become a murderer?"
Ning Jinli's expression was complicated. "It's a long story, but I can assure you that I didn't kill anyone, and everything will be investigated thoroughly."
Zheng Houcheng nodded. "I believe you wouldn't do such a thing."
“Miss Ning, I was afraid that your Aunt Su would worry, so I didn’t tell her about your disappearance. Thankfully you’re back… Oh, by the way, there’s been a problem at the factory too.”
He gave Ning Jinli a complete report of the situation.
After hearing this, Ning Jinli felt even worse, thinking about the immense pressure Zheng Houcheng had endured over the past ten days.
Her eyes reddened, and she apologized again, "Uncle Zheng, I'm so sorry. You've worked so hard! But don't worry, I have plenty of money. I'll transfer a few hundred million more into the company account. There won't be any problems with our funds."
"As for the goods produced, you don't need to worry about them. I will take care of everything. You just need to continue doing what I told you before."
With Ning Jinli's assurance, Zheng Houcheng finally felt relieved.
Once Shangguan Ying had dealt with the reporters, Zheng Houcheng and the factory management personnel left with a group of employees, and the matter was finally put to a temporary end.
“Sister Ying,” Ning Jinli walked to Shangguan Ying’s side, “Why are you here today?”
Shangguan Ying blinked. "You're the one who asked me to come."
Ning Jinli looked blank. "Huh? I don't remember anything like that... Sister Ying, you must be joking."
Shangguan Ying simply smiled.
Ning Jinli thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said very solemnly, "Sister Ying, I've decided to tell you something."
"What's up?"
"Well... you should come with me first."
Ning Jinli took Shangguan Ying's hand and walked to the small warehouse where there was a time-space passage entrance.
She glanced at the slowly rotating fluorescent vortex inside the back door of the warehouse. "Sister Ying, what I'm about to show you will be quite outrageous, but please believe me."
“I’ve seen plenty of outrageous things,” Shangguan Ying said with a mysterious smile in her eyes. “Come on, show me.”
"Then watch carefully!"
Ning Jinli walked into the fluorescent vortex in front of Shangguan Ying, quickly passed through it, and then returned to ask, "Sister Ying, just now, in your eyes, did I suddenly disappear through that back door?"
Shangguan Ying smiled and said, "Yes, because you went to another world through the time tunnel."
“Yes,” Ning Jinli nodded as she spoke, “that’s what I wanted to tell you—”
Halfway through her sentence, Ning Jinli suddenly froze, her eyes widening. "Wait... Sister Ying, what... what did you say?!"
