Shang Ning stood up and looked at Xia You. "Shang Ning is aloof and proud. Her only friends are you and He Zhiyan. She has never, ever thought that you are inferior to others. She envies you for having many friends. She is a little jealous of the person you went out with when you returned to the lab and told her who you went shopping and watched movies with. She envies the way you look when you like something. Do you know how much she envies you?"
Shang Ning clenched her hands tightly, looked at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, and then turned and left.
He Zhiyan followed Shang Ning out, leaving the space to the family.
The sunlight outside was blinding, and Shang Ning leaned against the wall, looking up at the sun.
"She harmed you so much, why did you still save her?" He Zhiyan asked.
"I don't know," Shang Ning said calmly. "Perhaps it's not about saving her, but about saving myself."
"rather……"
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. She was used by someone, so we must find the person who used her and bring the real culprit to justice.” Shang Ning said, turning to look at He Zhiyan.
He Zhiyan was about to call out a name when he was stopped.
"But given her current situation, would she really tell?" He Zhiyan countered.
"Home is a person's last line of defense." Therefore, the only people who can get Xia You to speak up are her parents.
He Zhiyan paused slightly, unable to refute.
Shang Ning then continued to wait outside for the results.
"I still hope you'll consider the international competition against the strongest opponent, as it will be of great help to you in the future." He Zhiyan changed the subject, still considering things from her perspective.
Shang Ning looked at He Zhiyan and smiled helplessly. It was no longer an appreciation of his elegance or the gentle, refreshing feeling he gave people.
"Sometimes, what you call friendliness can be a weapon that kills others. What you call treating everyone equally can give others a reason to fall into a trap. If you encounter someone who is in love with you but you are not interested, learning to be indifferent is more meaningful than treating everyone equally."
As soon as Shang Ning finished speaking, the plainclothes detective he had just met led his men away.
Shang Ning glanced at He Zhiyan, who remained silent, and said, "Professor He, everything has settled down, and it's time for everyone to return to their places."
After Shang Ning finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then turned and left.
When the sun shines brightly, life can begin anew!
Shang Ning stood at the intersection waiting for a taxi, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight, then gently clenching his fist, letting the light stay in his palm.
Ning Kong, did you see that?
Light.
When Shang Ning got home, she turned on the TV and watched the legal news channel while hugging a cushion.
Two hours later, the news channel announced that the perpetrator of the series of car accidents had been apprehended, and Shang Ning finally fell into a deep sleep, clutching her pillow.
While Shang Ning was asleep, changes were quietly taking place in City A.
Many people witnessed police arresting people in multiple locations, the closest to Shangning being right next door.
She had no idea that a gun was pointed at her while she was asleep.
Jin Yining disarmed the man, broke his arm, pinned him to the ground, bent down, picked up the gun, and held it to the man's head. "Who told you to kill her?"
The man was pale with pain because his arm had been dislocated, but he didn't show any outward signs of pain; he was a tough nut to crack.
Qin Wei searched all the rooms, grabbed a person and pushed them in. This house was a bare shell, probably unsold. These people just happened to choose this place, which was directly opposite Shang Ning's house across the street.
"Who exactly are you people?" the restrained man asked in a deep voice.
