Chu Wuyang frowned and asked:
“Abuse of power is a company matter. Why do you think I can help you with that?”
Her tone was full of doubt, and her eyes revealed thoughtfulness and inquiry.
Ning Zhi bit her lip and boldly said:
"Mr. Jing did all this to avenge you." Although Jing Huan had been arrested and the evidence was conclusive, the woman's intuition told her that it wasn't that simple; there must be more to the story.
Ning Zhi stood there, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands. She had always been a timid and submissive person.
But she had to do it for her husband's sake; she believed that this Miss Chu could definitely help her.
She wasn't unaware of Mr. Jing's manic state that day.
Just how much can a man love a woman that even someone as calm and composed as Jing would lose control to that extent?
She lowered her head slightly and said in a trembling voice:
“Miss Chu, I really have no other choice. I know I shouldn’t be bothering you, but I’m truly desperate.”
Chu Wuyang listened to Ning Zhi's words, a helpless expression on his face, and sighed softly.
She frowned slightly, her eyes showing a hint of weariness and helplessness, and said:
“If your husband really committed a crime, there’s nothing I can do.”
"I won't ask Jingmin for help; I can't get involved in this matter."
As she spoke, she gently shook her head, her hands unconsciously crossing in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhi immediately retorted anxiously:
"No, Jinghuan has always been honest and upright; he wouldn't do such a thing!"
Her eyes were wide open, filled with determination and trust.
She took an excited step forward, waving her hands in the air as if to emphasize her words.
"I believe Jing Huan was definitely not involved in the accident at the Chu family's mine,"
“I know him; he wouldn’t be greedy for such a small amount of money.”
"I only hope that Mr. Jing can find out the truth and clear Jing Huan's name."
She spoke quickly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Ning Zhi's words, Chu Wuyang felt her ears ringing. She stared at Ning Zhi in shock, her eyes wide open.
In the garden, a gentle breeze carried a faint floral fragrance, but it could not dispel the somber atmosphere.
Ning Zhi was stunned when she heard Chu Wuyang ask her something excitedly.
She trembled slightly like a startled rabbit, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground.
Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Chu Wuyang, completely bewildered.
Her mouth was slightly open, and the words she had just been speaking urgently came to an abrupt halt. She stood there, frozen in place.
The hem of the clothes that she had been tightly clutching in her hand unconsciously loosened a little.
Seeing that she didn't react, Chu Wuyang frowned even more, and an unnatural blush rose on his pale face due to excitement.
She raised her voice and asked again, reminding him:
"What did you just say? There's been an accident at the Chu family mine?"
She leaned forward slightly, her hands unconsciously gripping the sides of her hospital gown tightly, her eyes revealing urgency and shock.
Her breathing became rapid, and she gasped for breath, as if she was trying to support her body, which was swaying precariously from the sudden news.
It turns out that the scumbag in the Buddhist hall that day wasn't lying.
Ning Zhi suddenly came to her senses and continued:
"Yes, the Chu family's Jiangbei mine collapsed, killing many people..."
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, raising a hand and gently wiping away the tears welling up in the corner of her eye with her index finger.
Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety when she spoke of "many family members demanding compensation."
The hand unconsciously waved in the air, as if depicting the chaotic scene.
"As a result, many goods and resources were tied up, and some people instigated the situation by demanding money and compensation from the families, causing many goods to be unable to be sold or delivered on time,"
"Therefore, many companies are taking advantage of the situation to drive down prices and even divide up resources."
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, gesturing incessantly with her hands and unconsciously shifting her feet slightly, revealing her inner unease and helplessness in the face of the current situation.
“Jing Huan was wronged. He’s always been honest and law-abiding, without many complicated emotions,”
"He has worked diligently in the Jing family for so many years. Without Mr. Jing's authorization, he would never have dared to overstep his bounds."
Her eyes revealed determination and trust in her husband, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
Holding it in front of you is like adding power to your words.
Chu Wuyang's mind stirred, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, asking in return.
"How do you know he won't do it behind closed doors? After all, it's hard for anyone not to be tempted by such a large sum of money."
Her lips curled up slightly with a hint of mockery, but a barely perceptible pain flashed in her eyes.
She crossed her arms over her chest, appearing calm, but her heart was as cold as ice.
Her gaze was fixed on Ning Zhi, trying to find the answer from her expression.
As she said this, she gently shook her head, as if denying certain ideas deep down that she didn't want to believe.
At this moment, Chu Wuyang's body was trembling slightly, and she could feel her heart beating faster.
The news of the mine collapse weighed heavily on her heart. Her face grew even paler.
His sickly appearance was palpable; in this sunny garden, it felt as if he were in a cold ice cellar.
Ning Zhi, under Chu Wuyang's questioning, showed a hint of panic and helplessness in her eyes.
She lowered her head, avoiding Chu Wuyang's gaze, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, muttering softly, "I really know him, he's not that kind of person..."
