Jiang Ning's goods were undamaged, which relieved everyone, and the company continued its normal operations.
But then a sudden, urgent siren blared from outside.
Two police officers, dressed in proper uniforms, appeared at the company gate.
Lucy was cleaning nearby when she saw the police. Her legs trembled immediately, she glanced around, and quickly hid in the bathroom.
Her heart was pounding. She had finally managed to convince herself to go to work without worry, and now the police were showing up.
After a while, a commotion came from the cubicle. The police told Jiang Ning to go with them immediately to the police station for questioning.
The way she acted was so imposing, it was as if she was about to put handcuffs on her wrists.
After Jiang Ning left with the police car, Lucy smiled crookedly and came out of the restroom.
When I came out, I ran into Xu Yan.
"What are you laughing at? Did you just eat shit?" Xu Yan couldn't stand that she could still laugh at a time like this.
The fire at the storage yard couldn't have been caused by Jiang Ning. Now that she's been taken away, it's not good for the company either.
She had a gloating expression on her face, which was disgusting.
Lucy exhaled a breath of foul air from her nostrils in anger:
"Xu Yan, why are you taking your anger out on me? If Jiang Ning hadn't done anything illegal, why would the police have taken her away? Just wait, she will receive the punishment she deserves."
Once Jiang Ning is unable to return, her work can be handed over to her.
It's practically getting something for nothing.
The blocked milk ducts from yesterday suddenly felt clear.
Xu Yan couldn't stand her smug expression, so she shoved her into the nearby trash can.
“Let me tell you, even if Jiang Ning isn’t allowed to handle the orders, Jack won’t use you anymore.”
If Jack is so unable to distinguish right from wrong, she won't work for this company anymore.
Lucy wiped the dirt off her face, her back teeth chattering with anger. They were just born to be her nemesis, she had to find a way to extricate herself from them.
When she got off work, Xu Jie came to pick her up.
She suddenly said emotionally, "Let's get married."
Xu Jie was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to propose marriage on her own initiative.
However, his family is not well-off, and he simply doesn't have the money to get married right now.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, I've just gotten a stable job, and I only earn a little over forty dollars a month. Someone in my family is sick and needs money, so I can't afford to get married."
He could only sadly refuse.
Lucy was furious because she hadn't thought highly of him before and hadn't considered a future with him, so she hadn't asked about his family situation.
I never expected his family to be so poor.
However, only he could help her commit perjury and get through this ordeal.
"It's okay, my family has some savings. I'll pay for the wedding, as long as you treat me well."
Lucy took his arm, her attitude resolute.
Although her parents were just factory workers, they had an uncle who did business abroad. Every year, he would send a sum of money to the family, so over the years, the family was actually quite wealthy.
She didn't know how much it was; her mother had all the savings, which she estimated to be around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
After they get married, their mother can contribute some of the money to buy a house and hold a wedding.
Xu Jie was overjoyed when he heard about her plans, and he practically pampered her like a princess that night.
......
Lin Chen was extremely worried when he heard that Jiang Ning had been taken to the police station.
He dropped everything and rushed over.
The police station was bustling with noise, like a vegetable market.
Everyone connected to the fire was brought here for questioning and to give a statement.
When he arrived, Jiang Ning's statement had already been taken, and she could leave after pressing her fingerprint.
Lin Chen saw her come out and immediately hugged her:
"Honey, are you alright? They've gone too far. Instead of arresting the arsonists, they've brought you here to interrogate you endlessly."
Jiang Ning chuckled: "Nothing's wrong, they're just doing their routine."
"What did they all ask you?"
"They asked me why I changed the container, and where I was from 11 pm to midnight last night, who I was with, and what I did."
"It wasn't your idea to change the container."
Jiang Ning had told him about this, and he was very excited.
As for what he was doing at that time, he remembered it after a little thought.
What else can we do? We can do things that only married couples do.
"You mean we were doing *that*?" He glanced at her, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Jiang Ning playfully punched him with her small fist, laughing in exasperation.
"Why go into so much detail? As long as you can prove that I am indeed with you, that's enough."
This man's brain is full of lewd nonsense.
Lin Chen grabbed her hand sheepishly, "I just don't have much experience!"
The two walked home hand in hand, discussing all the way who had started the fire.
She learned indirectly that the fire started in container number 21.
As for how there was a person inside, and whether that person saw the arsonist, it remains unknown.
Because that person is still in the hospital, although they were rescued, they remain unconscious.
The police were unable to take a statement.
However, the yard patrol personnel spotted a dark figure, chased after it, and even picked up a hair clip.
Police have identified women as suspects.
Soon, the police officers, armed with hair clips, began visiting nearby residential areas.
They also posted notices with black and white pictures of the hair clip at the entrances of various residential communities, telling anyone who had seen the hair clip to report it to the police.
Lucy and Xu Jie bought a bunch of wedding supplies and went home. When they got to the entrance of the residential area, she spotted a notice.
After diverting Xu Jie's attention, she quickly tore down the notice.
They pushed Xu Jie home as quickly as possible.
That evening, she acted particularly charming and even took out a thousand yuan, telling him that they would get their marriage certificate the next day.
"Isn't this a bit too fast?" Xu Jie was still a little hesitant.
His mother sells vegetables at the market, and today he specially took her to the market for a stroll.
His mother didn't have a very good impression of her, so she told him to be careful.
“Lucy, I need to ask you for a favor. My grandfather is sick and needs money for surgery. Could you give me this thousand dollars to use first, and we can postpone the wedding?” he tentatively suggested.
Lucy was very annoyed, but in order to appease him, she clung to his neck and agreed.
"Okay, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow. We'll invite both sets of parents to dinner after we get it."
The next day, Lucy couldn't wait to take Xu Jie to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the marriage certificate.
Even if someone asks about the hair clip, Xu Jie probably won't tell anyone.
After all, who would betray their newlywed wife?
That evening, the police indeed came to investigate and conduct a preliminary investigation.
When confronted with the hair clip in the police officer's hand, Lucy vehemently denied it, claiming that she and Xu Jie were having sex at the time.
"Do you know him?" the police officer asked Xu Jie again.
Xu Jie visibly panicked, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "I've never seen it before."
The police checked their marriage certificate again, found nothing amiss, and left.
After they left, Xu Jie looked at Lucy with red eyes.
"Is that the hair clip I gave you?"
