Chapter 366 Coming to Kill Her
"grandfather……"
"After hearing that Junyan had been in a car accident, I learned about the situation on my way here... If you want to say someone was harmed, it was someone who deliberately wanted to harm you... That Lin Wanrong is definitely involved."
When Lin Wanrong was mentioned, Lu Lifeng's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
"However, the Lin family is quite capable. No matter how much they investigate, they haven't been able to trace it back to Lin Wanrong... She must have hired other forces to do it... But don't worry, Xiao Ning, Grandpa will definitely avenge you for this."
Lu Lifeng's words brought tears to Jiang Ning's already blurred eyes once again.
She never expected that, with Lu Junyan lying in the ICU in a life-or-death situation because of her, Lu Lifeng could still think so calmly and even say that he would help her get revenge.
"As for Junyan..."
Lu Lifeng sighed, his aged face unable to conceal the sadness in his heart, no matter how hard he tried.
"This is the path he chose... No matter the outcome, it's not your fault, Xiao Ning."
"grandfather……"
Jiang Ning's voice choked as he spoke.
She understood the reasoning, but she just couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Grandpa will be heartbroken if you keep crying like this."
"Um……"
With Lu Lifeng's comforting words, Jiang Ning finally stopped crying and started smiling.
On the other side, in Country C.
Lin Wanrong stood by the window of her office, gazing at the bustling scenery outside while making a phone call to someone using a Bluetooth headset.
"I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. The police have been investigating for so long and haven't been able to find me, but they haven't been able to find you either?"
"After all... I've always been very professional when it comes to killing."
The voice coming from the Bluetooth headset was Joker's.
"As long as you don't drag me into this, I don't care who you kill, and I'm not interested."
After saying that, Lin Wanrong hung up the phone first.
The office door was then knocked on.
"Come in."
Lin Wanrong turned around and saw Wang Jun walk in, her face grim.
"What's wrong?"
"President Lin... The company's stock price is continuing to fall, and many shareholders are very dissatisfied with you. They want to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders... to impeach you."
Lin Wanrong's heavily made-up face became distorted as if sulfuric acid had been poured on it.
"Those old fogies... what else can they do besides impeach me!"
Wang Jun remained silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and murmured softly:
"There's nothing I can do... You've caused the company to lose too much money this time..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Wanrong grabbed a coffee cup from the desk and smashed it at Wang Jun's feet.
The coffee cup shattered, and ceramic shards and coffee splashed onto Wang Jun's suit.
Wang Jun frowned slightly.
"I caused the company to lose too much money? Is that my fault? It's clearly Jiang Ning's fault!"
Lin Wanrong roared hysterically.
"If Jiang Ning hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics, getting those streamers to expose Zhang Quanyong's use of ghostwriters... if Jiang Ning hadn't knowingly accelerated despite the faulty brakes..."
Lin Wanrong became increasingly angry as she spoke.
Originally, the Lin family would never have suffered such losses.
She successfully hijacked the deal, and Lin's entry into the jewelry industry should have been smooth sailing.
If Jiang Ning hadn't interfered, how could all her investments have gone down the drain?
This street race was no different; she didn't intend to kill Jiang Ning.
If Jiangning had simply slowed down and relinquished its patented technology, the car accident wouldn't have been this serious.
"Master Huang's prediction was correct... That Jiang Ning is a scourge. Not only is she a scourge to our Lin family, but also to the Lu family... In the end, she got all the benefits, causing the Lin family's market value to evaporate, and leaving the Lu family's only heir in a state of uncertainty... She's really unlucky."
Wang Jun listened silently as Lin Wanrong relentlessly slandered Jiang Ning, his heart filled with turmoil.
The Lin family's market value evaporated and its stock price plummeted. It was clearly Lin Wanrong who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, investing a lot of capital into the jewelry industry, but she didn't even understand the background of her partner. Instead, Jiang Ning used the same tactics against her.
As for street racing... it was Lin Wanrong who had someone tamper with it first.
"...Are you that jealous of Lin Chu?"
"What did you say?!"
Lin Wanrong glared at Wang Jun and shouted angrily.
"It's nothing..." Wang Jun lowered his head and said calmly, "I just came to remind President Lin not to be late for the shareholders' meeting."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Attorney Wang..."
Lin Wanrong's arrogant and domineering voice came from behind him.
"Don't forget, you and I are in the same boat."
Wang Jun paused for a moment, then left Lin Wanrong's office.
City A.
It got dark.
The hospital became incredibly quiet.
Family visits are prohibited in the ICU, but through the clean glass window, you can still catch a glimpse of the person lying unconscious inside.
For example, Lu Junyan.
At this moment, a doctor in a white coat is standing in front of the glass window.
No one knows when he arrived here.
He simply stood there quietly, his cold eyes reflecting Lu Junyan, whose body was covered in tubes.
The inpatient building.
Jiang Ning was actually fine, but due to threatened miscarriage, her obstetrician advised her to be hospitalized to prevent miscarriage.
She didn't tell Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan that she was hospitalized for observation because she was pregnant, and she also told the doctors and nurses to keep it a secret.
Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan both thought that Jiang Ning was hospitalized because he still needed to recuperate after the car accident.
The night outside the window is getting darker.
Jiang Ning was alone in the hospital room.
The quieter the ward, the clearer her heartbeat became.
She kept touching her abdomen.
Even though it's only been a month and she can't feel anything yet, she just can't help wanting to touch it.
I want to feel the presence of this little life.
Suddenly, the door to the ward opened.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw Gu Lanlan running in in a panic, her face as white as if she had seen a ghost.
"Lanlan, what's wrong?"
“Ah Ning…”
Gu Lanlan's expression was off, and her voice was off too.
This was the first time Jiang Ning had ever seen Gu Lanlan so frightened.
"What's wrong, Lanlan?"
She quickly got out of bed and walked towards Gu Lanlan.
Gu Lanlan also walked towards Jiang Ning, but her legs went weak, but fortunately Jiang Ning supported her.
"What happened?"
“Ah Ning, I…”
Gu Lanlan was trembling and stammering, her knuckles turning white as she gripped Jiang Ning's arm.
"I think... I think I saw Gu Jinci..."
"What?!"
Jiang Ning was greatly alarmed.
She now finally understood why Gu Lanlan was so terrified.
Gu Jinci, also known as the Joker—
But he was a professional assassin.
And if he were to actually appear at the hospital now...
Jiang Ning felt a chill run down his spine.
She was careless!
Since Joker had been quiet for a long time, Jiang Ning did not renew the contract with the security company.
In other words, she doesn't have a single bodyguard with her right now.
Jiang Ning took out his phone to call the police.
However, Gu Lanlan only said that she seemed to have seen Gu Jinci, and such an ambiguous statement would probably make it difficult for the police to respond.
"Lanlan, don't panic..."
Jiang Ning held Gu Lanlan's hand tightly.
If the Joker really came to kill her, then they should leave the hospital immediately.
"Let's go."
Without saying a word, Jiang Ning pulled Gu Lanlan out of the ward.
In the silent corridor, a doctor in a white coat appeared silently behind Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan.
