Chapter 46 She wasn't wearing anything.
The drunkard's name was Qian Dazhi. He wasn't drunk today, but his lewd gaze towards Jiang Ning still made Jiang Ning feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Ning never expected that the other party would make the false accusation first.
"You started bothering me, that's why I hit you, officer. There are security cameras in the club, you can check the footage and see for yourself."
Even after hearing Jiang Ning's words, Qian Dazhi still crossed his arms and remained confident.
“We’ve already checked the surveillance footage. We didn’t see him harassing you; we only saw you kick him.”
Jiang Ning was taken aback by what the police said.
Even if the surveillance footage has been tampered with, the police shouldn't be unable to find out.
This only proves that the police here are in cahoots with Qian Dazhi.
Jiang Ning is facing detention, and the police have asked her to notify her family.
Holding his phone, Jiang Ning's taut knuckles were deathly white.
Her family members...
Her mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease and lives in a nursing home.
The rest...
Only Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning really didn't want to inform Lu Junyan that he was going to be detained.
This incident had a huge impact on her career and reputation.
Even if she wanted to divorce Lu Junyan, she couldn't gamble with her life.
“Mr. Qian, I think we can settle what happened last night privately. I’ll pay whatever medical expenses you want.”
Jiang Ning took the initiative to find Qian Dazhi.
Last night, it was clearly Qian Dazhi who acted like a hooligan; she did nothing wrong.
But the world is not black and white, and Jiang Ning cannot afford to suffer a loss now.
She wouldn't hesitate to spend money if it could solve the problem.
Qian Dazhi looked Jiang Ning up and down, grinned, and said, "Then treat me to a meal, and we'll call it even after we finish eating."
Is it really that simple?
Jiang Ning had some doubts.
On the day the settlement was reached, Jiang Ning and Qian Dazhi arrived at the restaurant designated by Qian Dazhi.
It is a very high-end hotel.
However, no matter how high-end the meal was, Jiang Ning was confident that she could afford it, so she had no objection to whatever dishes Qian Dazhi ordered.
This meal wasn't just for the two of them; they also brought along the director of the Nanning police station.
Jiang Ning guessed that Qian Dazhi was afraid she would secretly run away.
Jiang Ning's alcohol tolerance isn't bad, but he's not at the point where he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
During the meal, Qian Dazhi poured her a lot of alcohol. She knew he had ulterior motives, so she wanted to leave before she completely lost her senses.
"Hey, my little beauty, we haven't finished eating yet, you can't leave!"
Qian Dazhi blocked Jiang Ning's path and reached out to put his arm around Jiang Ning's waist.
Jiang Ning, in a daze, grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it down on Qian Dazhi's head.
The hotel was thrown into chaos.
Jiang Ning was not quite clear-headed. He took advantage of the chaos to run away, but his stomach was churning, and he couldn't help but squat down by the roadside to vomit.
While vomiting, he took out his phone to call Gu Lanlan.
I can't trust the police, so I can only rely on my friends.
However, Jiang Ning was so dizzy from vomiting that she didn't even realize she had accidentally dialed Lu Junyan's number.
Lu Junyan is having dinner with Chu Qingxue at this moment.
My phone was on vibrate and kept buzzing.
"Who is it? Is it about work?" Chu Qingxue asked curiously.
Lu Junyan picked up his phone and glanced at it, a faint ripple appearing in his eyes.
"It's nothing, just a nuisance call."
Lu Junyan hung up the phone.
In front of the hotel, Jiang Ning saw that Gu Lanlan was not answering her phone, so he staggered around trying to hail a taxi by himself.
However, she also felt that it was not safe for her to take a taxi alone in her current state.
She found a bench, sat down, and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
I had a very chaotic dream that night.
In his dream, Jiang Ning was fighting with someone and being chased.
She ran frantically, but couldn't shake him off.
When I opened my eyes, I was covered in cold sweat.
Jiang Ning was startled awake.
Jiang Ning quickly recovered her fragmented memories; she remembered falling asleep on a bench outside.
However, at this very moment she was in her room, sleeping in bed.
This is not Gu Lanlan's home.
It wasn't even her own home.
However, the ceiling that came into view was not unfamiliar to her.
Because her mother-in-law chose that crystal chandelier.
This is the Jade Pavilion on the Cloud Top—
This was her and Lu Junyan's original marital home.
Jiang Ning was unable to process the situation at the moment.
She glanced down at the blankets.
She wasn't wearing anything.
"You threw up all over yourself, and I threw away all your clothes."
Lu Junyan appeared at the entrance of the master bedroom, and Jiang Ning shuddered the moment she heard his voice.
His dark eyes looked like they had been dipped in ink. Lu Junyan walked in and handed the pajamas to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning put on her pajamas in bed, which made Lu Junyan sneer.
"Afraid I'll see?"
Jiang Ning remained silent, and then heard Lu Junyan's sneer again.
She didn't know how she got there.
Was it Lu Junyan who brought her back?
Lu Junyan said she vomited all over herself, which she vaguely remembered.
But she doesn't smell bad at all now; in fact, she smells like shower gel.
It's mint flavored.
Lu Junyan likes to use mint-scented shower gel, so she always buys this kind.
So, did Lu Junyan help her take a bath when she was drunk?
After all, the Cloud Top Jade Pavilion is not like the Lu family's old residence; there are no servants here.
Jiang Ning's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had a lot of questions to ask Lu Junyan.
But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, I didn't know how to ask them.
As it turned out, Lu Junyan was the first to speak.
Do you know who the man you injured with the bottle is?
Jiang Ning was startled, but she didn't explain the cause and effect.
Since Lu Junyan already knows about this, given his extensive connections, he will find out the whole story even without her explanation.
"All I know is that his name is Qian Dazhi."
Jiang Ning answered truthfully.
Lu Junyan shrugged and smiled, "Qian Dazhi is the CEO of Jingjiang Real Estate, and Jingjiang Real Estate has a project collaboration with Lu's Group... Now that Qian Dazhi has been hospitalized after you beat him up, the project with Lu's Group has been temporarily shelved..."
Jiang Ning's expression gradually turned ugly.
But she didn't see any reproach or resentment towards her on Lu Junyan's handsome face.
Lu Junyan did not stay in the bedroom for long.
Jiang Ning's behavior made him feel that with him around, Jiang Ning didn't want to get out of bed.
As he reached the door, he turned and casually asked Jiang Ning:
"Mr. Qian said you seduced him."
"ha?"
Jiang Ning laughed in exasperation and retorted to Lu Junyan, "You believe that?"
Lu Junyan shook his head. "I don't believe it. You may not be good at anything else, but you have a good eye for men."
Jiang Ning didn't think these words were a compliment at all; she only thought Lu Junyan was being narcissistic.
Jiang Ning didn't want to stay in this house for too long.
After noon, she went to work.
As soon as I arrived at the company, I heard Chu Qingxue bragging to Wang Qing and the others that Lu Junyan had taken her to eat Sichuan cuisine for lunch. It was a very authentic and hard-to-get-a-reservation old brand restaurant.
However, in Jiang Ning's memory, Lu Junyan never ate spicy food because he had a stomach ailment.
Her mother-in-law had repeatedly reminded her of this.
It seems that Lu Junyan would change anything for Chu Qingxue.
A busy day for office workers always ends as the sun sets in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a different color on the glass curtain wall of the Lu Group office building.
Jiang Ning was busy until almost the end of her workday when she suddenly noticed something strange.
All afternoon, Lu Junyan didn't leave his office or ask her to make coffee.
This was somewhat unusual about Lu Junyan. Jiang Ning approached the office and, through the clean frosted glass window, she didn't see Lu Junyan.
"Mr. Lu?"
She called out from the doorway.
No one answered from inside.
"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, are you there?"
Jiang Ning knocked on the door.
Inside, it was still quiet, as if no one was there.
Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, Jiang Ning pushed open the door.
