“Ningning is definitely not that kind of person; she wouldn’t say such a thing,” He Zhiyan finally spoke.
These words made Shang Ning feel guilty; she wasn't that good.
She also personally hurt a girl.
Xia You bit her lip slightly, hating Shang Ning in her heart. Even if she died, He Zhiyan would not be able to let her go.
"Don't worry, Miss Ning, Professor Zhong and I will keep an eye on this matter. I have other things to attend to in City B, so I'll head back now," He Zhiyan said, turning around first.
Xia You glared fiercely at Shang Ning, then turned back to look at her as she went down the steps, muttering a curse: "That bitch deserves to be hit by a car as soon as she steps out the door."
Shang Ning: "..."
Watching the two leave, Shang Ning began to wonder if this was really the Xia You she used to know.
Shang Ning even began to wonder how much of her past life had been filtered through a lens.
People she dislikes have unseen hardships, and those around her also have a side she's never seen.
"Shang Ning, Shang Ning..." Shang Ning shook her head helplessly and stepped down the stairs.
At the corner of the TV station, a man held a camera, looking down at the video he had recorded. A lewd smile played on his lips. Ning Kong had connections with the judges; if this news got out, it would be big news.
On her way home, Shang Ning received a call from the police station about the car accident.
When she arrived at the police station, the officer in charge of the car accident was waiting for her. He got up to greet her as she entered.
"Ms. Ning, I'm sorry to have asked you to come here now." The police officer said, gesturing for Ning Kong to sit down, and then pushed a file bag in front of her. "These are the things we found at the scene of the car accident. So far, only your and Professor Shang's family haven't been confirmed. Please take a look and see if these are yours."
Shang Ning reached for the file bag, and when she opened it, a necklace slid out—a platinum chain with a crystal pendant in the shape of a five-pointed star. Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the star and reflecting a rainbow of colors.
Shang Ning put down the file bag and picked up the necklace. It didn't belong to Shang Ning. Since everyone else had confirmed it, it could only be Ning Kong's.
"Miss Ning..."
Shang Ning looked up, grasped the necklace, and addressed the policeman, "It's mine, thank you."
After thanking him, Shang Ning put the necklace away. "By the way, Officer Zhao, have you found the cause of the car accident?"
"The driver of the first car was drunk driving, which caused the subsequent chain-reaction accidents. Ms. Ning's survival can truly be described as a narrow escape from death."
The driver was driving under the influence of alcohol, just as reported in the news.
What is Jin Yining still struggling with?
After Shang Ning took the necklace and signed the papers, she was about to leave the police station, but when she reached the door, the officers chatting with each other made her slow down.
"The higher-ups are even ordering an investigation into this chain-reaction car accident; apparently, it was a direct order from above."
"Isn't it caused by drunk driving?"
“I did tell them, we showed them the video and did the on-site analysis, but they weren’t satisfied, so we went back and checked it several more times.”
"I reckon it's because one of the deceased was a professor, and a rather famous one at that."
After leaving the police station, Shang Ning looked down at the necklace on her hand. Was it for her?
What a joke! She doesn't think she's famous enough to be considered a scholar.
Shang Ning put away the necklace, raised her hand and scratched her hair. She just wanted to die properly, why was it so difficult?
She died, whether it was a good death or a bad one.
Now she needs to investigate something else, and it's something she has to do.
