Regardless of what this strangeness refers to, just thinking about Manager Li's appearance just now made Xu Xinchen feel terrified and unable to stop herself from trembling.
Chen Ningsheng frowned, reached out and stroked Xu Xinchen's hair, patted her back to comfort her, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here with you."
Xu Xinchen buried her head in Chen Ningsheng's arms, her fingers gripping his clothes tightly, and stopped speaking. The police officers nearby saw the way Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen were acting and couldn't help but laugh.
However, everyone was considerate enough not to disturb them. Everyone knew that Xu Xinchen had just escaped from a dangerous situation, and it was normal for her to be a little vulnerable as a girl.
In order not to disturb them, the police officers subconsciously pushed the dozen or so thugs in the coffee shop, as well as Manager Li and his group, to the side, thoughtfully leaving Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen a small space.
Chen Ningsheng watched the police officers' actions, smiled slightly, nodded to them, and then led Xu Xinchen to a more open area.
The group waited in the coffee shop for about an hour, and sure enough, a lot of things were dug up from underground. The first thing to be carried out from the coffee shop kitchen was a rotting corpse covered with worms.
Xu Xinchen has lived two lives. In her previous life, when she was acting, she saw many fake corpses, but this was the first time she had ever seen a real corpse that was already rotten and covered in worms.
Upon first seeing the corpse, because it was covered with a white sheet, she felt nothing; it was only upon smelling the...
The smell made her turn around and vomit violently.
Chen Ningsheng managed to hold back. Seeing Xu Xinchen standing there with her back to everyone, desperately retching, he patted her back with heartache, hugged her, and slipped away after the police carried the body out.
There was no way around it; the smell inside the coffee shop was just too awful. If they didn't leave soon, Chen Ningsheng probably wouldn't be able to stand it anymore. After they got outside, Zhao Jianguo also came out.
When he was talking to Chen Ningsheng, Zhao Jianguo had been smiling, but now his expression was very serious. The way he looked at Manager Li and his group was as if he wanted to skin them alive.
Looking at the scene before him, Chen Ningsheng had a general idea of what was going on. He held Xu Xinchen in his arms and stood in an open space, breathing in the fresh air, his expression calm and composed.
Zhao Jianguo looked extremely ugly, cursing as he followed the policeman who had been talking to Xu Xinchen outside: "These bastards, I can't believe they dared to do something like this, I'll never let them get away with this."
Chen Ningsheng called out to Zhao Jianguo, "Uncle Zhao, what happened?"
Perhaps it was because Chen Ningsheng usually gave Zhao Jianguo such a reliable impression that Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but explain to Chen Ningsheng: "These bastards are into murder and selling corpses. There are several bodies buried under this coffee shop. Just you wait and see. When they get to the police station, they'll be in big trouble."
After listening to Zhao Jianguo's explanation, Chen Ningsheng nodded gently to Zhao Jianguo, then hugged Xu Xinchen even tighter, holding her firmly in his arms.
She didn't bother Zhao Jianguo anymore, but quietly stayed with Xu Xinchen, waiting for what was to come.
The son went to give a statement.
Xu Xinchen watched as the police carried the bodies out of the coffee shop's kitchen one by one, finally stopping after carrying out four.
Soon, Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng were asked to give their statements. While giving their statements, Xu Xinchen tried her best to recall what Supervisor Li had told her.
She clearly remembered that when Manager Li threatened her, he said that even if he killed her, the police would not be able to find him.
After Xu Xinchen recounted everything that Supervisor Li had said, the policeman in front of him became visibly furious. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Can't find his connection? That bastard! He's dreaming!"
Xu Xinchen pursed her lips, didn't respond to the police, and after giving her statement, returned home accompanied by Chen Ningsheng.
As early as when they entered the police station, Chen Ningsheng had already had someone contact Wu Jiayi. As soon as Wu Jiayi heard about this incident, she immediately agreed to grant him leave.
Therefore, Xu Xinchen doesn't need to go back to work, which is why she was able to return home with Chen Ningsheng. As soon as they entered the house, Xu Xinchen immediately rushed into Chen Ningsheng's arms.
She held Chen Ningsheng tightly around the waist, her voice trembling with tears: "Ningsheng, just now, did I almost end up like those four people?"
Chen Ningsheng held Xu Xinchen in his arms, gently stroking her hair, and softly coaxed her, "No, don't worry, you have me. You won't be like them. I will never let anything like that happen to you."
Xu Xinchen was trembling all over, her hand gripping Chen Ningsheng's clothes trembling so hard that she accidentally wrinkled his clothes.
“That Manager Li just now wanted me dead. I hit him and was really mean to him. He definitely wanted me dead.”
The thought of almost dying terrified Xu Xinchen. If Chen Ningsheng hadn't found her first, she probably would have been killed before she even reached her destination.
Seeing how scared Xu Xinchen was, Chen Ningsheng immediately picked her up and carried her to the sofa. After they sat down together, Chen Ningsheng pressed the button on the small induction cooker that he usually used to entertain guests. There was a kettle on the cooker, and it was about half full of water.
After the beeping sound, Chen Ningsheng picked up the teapot, rinsed a teacup with hot water, poured half a cup of water, and handed it to Xu Xinchen, asking her to drink some hot water first to relieve her tense nerves.
Xu Xinchen picked up the cup Chen Ningsheng handed her, her mind a complete mess. Her eyes were filled with panic as she looked at Chen Ningsheng: "I just... I just hit him with a folder. Not only him, but I also hit the two waiters who took me away. The folder was made of plastic, and I cracked it. Do they hate me? If you hadn't found me just now, would I have really died?"
Chen Ningsheng understood Xu Xinchen's fear. He took Xu Xinchen's hand and took the cup of hot water from her.
