Separated by a wall, she seemed to be looking through sparse blinds or curtains. The box next door was an exquisitely decorated place that could accommodate seven or eight people at the same time.
If there hadn't been any movement coming from over there, this slightly see-through area would have been nothing more than a luxuriously decorated wall covered in gold bamboo leaves!
"I'll pay for all of this today, so feel free to help yourself. Big Brother and Little Brother know you're busy with work, so we picked this time to chat with you, just to catch up on family matters!"
A young man was pushed into the seat.
His face was blocked by something and he was sitting with his head lowered, so it was not very clear.
However, the young man's voice suddenly rang out!!!
"Just tell me what you have to say."
This is... the voice of Special Assistant Xu!
Ning Yichu was shocked! !
She subconsciously looked over there. Assistant Xu's figure was vague, but she could still make out the general idea. It was indeed him...
Ning Yichu had dealt with Special Assistant Xu quite a few times, so... naturally he recognized his voice!
Her palms kept tightening. What on earth was Wii trying to show her?!
"We're all family, why are you in such a hurry? Come, sit down, let's drink and talk!"
The other two looked not much older than Special Assistant Xu. They pulled Special Assistant Xu to his seat, one on each side. As the waiter started serving the dishes, they kept pouring wine into Special Assistant Xu's glass.
The dishes on the table were exquisite and delicious, but Ning Yichu's heart seemed to be gripped by something so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
She waited patiently.
After three rounds of drinking, Special Assistant Xu began to feel dizzy. He tried to leave several times, but was pulled back by the two men.
The two shrewd men looked at each other, and seeing that Special Assistant Xu had completely forgotten everything, they both smiled.
"Brother, don't blame us. Blame it on you being an assistant to a big shot like Mr. Li, and being targeted by someone with ulterior motives!"
The one called Big Brother sighed, but there was no guilt or regret in his tone.
The second brother pushed him impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? He gets paid so much as a senior assistant, but I haven't seen him share any of his money with us. I think he's just an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is the recorder on?" asked the eldest brother.
"It's open, it's open," the second brother urged him. "Don't forget, that person wants us to finish asking these questions and send them in before 7:30."
One of them grabbed Special Assistant Xu by the collar and whispered, "Was it Boss Li who called the police that day?"
"...Yes." In a daze, Special Assistant Xu actually answered! !
Ning Yichu's mind was focused! She couldn't help but hold her breath...
"Didn't Miss Ning say that the kidnapper forbad us to call the police? When did he report it?"
"Shortly after...shortly after Miss Ning hung up the phone..."
The man continued to inquire, "Did you say anything before he called the police?"
"It's just... that withdrawing funds will have an impact on the company's current projects... We are competing with Gu's for a project..."
"Does President Li hate Ning Qingwan?"
"I don't hate her, but I don't like her either. After all, she is Miss Ning's mother."
"Did he ask you to do anything to Ning Qingwan?"
"At most, I'll just keep an eye on the Ning residence... and Miss Ning Qingwan's movements..."
The eldest brother asked the last question, "So, he knew at the time that the kidnappers were very likely to kill the hostage, but he still deliberately called the police, right?"
"Or... maybe..."
boom!
Outside the wall, Ning Yichu's mind was blank.
She subconsciously tried to retreat, but her back pressed against the cold wall. Her limbs felt as if they had fallen into icy water, and the coldness continued to penetrate her from all directions...
Li Lingyang, did you call the police on purpose...
She didn't believe the recording of Chen Xian's identification or the hospital surveillance.
She didn't believe Yueying's unexpected appearance and self-narration.
She never believed that Li Lingyang was the mastermind behind all this...
But now, what if Li Lingyang called the police on purpose?
This is Special Assistant Xu! He's Li Lingyang's trusted confidant! He's the one who follows Li Lingyang around day and night, helping him with everything!
What's more, the question was asked directly by Special Assistant Xu!
She didn't want to believe it, but the bloody truth was right in front of her! !
Although he was half drunk, she had accidentally heard from Li Lingyang before that Special Assistant Xu couldn't drink much, and once he did, he would tell the truth to anyone asked...
And this time, Special Assistant Xu's answer was so logical!
Ning Yichu pinched her palms tightly, as if only pain could bring her a sense of reality.
The people in the box over there have already inquired about the situation and are working non-stop to organize and send the recording...
Here, Ning Yichu was thinking hard when his cell phone vibrated.
I looked down and saw that it was still a text message from the same garbled number.
[Ms. Ning, I hope this helps you.]
【File: recording.MP3】
Ning Yichu didn't have the courage to open the recording and listen to it again.
Special Assistant Xu had fallen asleep on the table, and the other two were still eating and drinking. Ning Yichu subconsciously stood up and rushed out.
"Where is the manager? Where is your manager?!" She stopped a waiter and asked.
The waiter looked confused and subconsciously pointed in a direction, "Over there..."
Ning Yichu immediately rushed over. The manager who had received her said with a smile, "Ms. Ning, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Which room is my box connected to?"
The manager's expression changed slightly, "Ms. Ning, our store's rules... we can't do this..."
Otherwise they would have no customers coming...
"Take me there." Ning Yichu was surprisingly calm. If she hadn't seen with her own eyes that the man was Special Assistant Xu, she wouldn't have believed it.
Holding onto the last glimmer of hope, she stared at the manager with red eyes without blinking, and emphasized again, "Take me there!"
"Okay, okay... Miss Ning, please wait a moment!" The manager couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He quickly took Ning Yichu around a few corners and arrived at the doors of the private rooms lined up in the corridor. "This is..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened with a loud bang! !
Ning Yichu's hand just rested on the door frame, staring blankly inside...
Special Assistant Xu was lying on the table, looking very drunk.
Two young men, not much older than him, were eating frantically. One of them had just taken a mouthful of rice and forgot to swallow it. He stared at Ning Yichu in amazement...
"Ms. Ning?" the eldest brother in the lead spoke.
His voice was exactly the same as the one I heard in the dark room just now...
The dishes and presentation here are almost exactly the same!
"Special Assistant Xu..." There was a tremor in her voice.
Special Assistant Xu lay on the table and uttered "hmm" in a daze.
At this moment, Ning Yi's original intention was as dead as ashes.
