Chapter 395: Someone is about to get into trouble
He Ziming saw her with a complicated look in his eyes. He opened his mouth but finally lowered his head: "I'm sorry... I..."
Shi Runrun looked at him calmly: "Is the clue you mentioned true?"
He Ziming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I was just kidding, I just... I just wanted to find an excuse to ask you out."
Shi Runrun said nothing more and looked at Xiao Xuezheng.
Xiao Xuezheng gave her a reassuring look, then lowered his voice, "He Ziming, take care of the rest of today's affairs. Also, make it clear with Lin Weiwei. Since she wants to play, I, Xiao Xuezheng, will play with her to the end."
After saying that, he took Shi Runrun to the Rolls-Royce.
Shi Runrun looked at the scratched car and felt distressed again, "It's broken."
Seeing her aggrieved look, Xiao Xuezheng wanted to kill Lin Weiwei. "It's okay, as long as you're okay, let's go home."
The car quickly left the scene.
Inside the car, Shi Runrun paused for a moment before asking, "Is that Lin Weiwei?"
Xiao Xuezheng responded, "He Ziming is just a playboy. He has no brains, so it's common for him to be taken advantage of. This time, she's probably trying to kill two birds with one stone."
Shi Runrun felt a little terrified, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, "How could someone be so evil?"
Xiao Xuezheng snorted coldly, "It seems that they underestimated the Xiao family."
Shi Runrun looked at her husband's cold face and knew that someone was about to get into big trouble.
The atmosphere is a bit depressing.
Shi Runrun looked at the passing scenery outside the window, her fingers unconsciously twisted together.
"What does she want to do?" Her voice trembled.
Xiao Xuezheng stared ahead with a cold gaze. "It's nothing more than a last-ditch effort. Lin Jiandong is in jail, Hongyuan is ruined, and she's blaming it all on us."
"Just because of business competition failure?"
"That's not all." Xiao Xuezheng's voice dropped. "Qin Feng uncovered an old story about the car accident four years ago. Lin Jiandong was probably involved. Now they're just settling old and new grudges together."
Shi Runrun took a deep breath and his face turned even paler.
"So...she's here for revenge?"
Xiao Xuezheng didn't say much, just held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, I will protect you."
After returning home, Xiao Xue Zheng went to deal with some things. Shi Runrun was still a little uneasy. She was sitting in the living room eating fruit when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked down and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone.
"It seems that that loser He Ziming failed. You are really lucky."
It’s Lin Weiwei!
Shi Runrun sat up straight abruptly: "Are you crazy?"
"Crazy?" Lin Weiwei giggled sharply. "Yes, I am crazy! You guys drove me crazy! My dad's in jail, and the company's gone! How can you still live so well?"
"You deserve it!"
"You deserve it?" Lin Weiwei's voice suddenly turned resentful. "If it weren't for Xiao Xuezheng's relentless pressure, would we have come to this? Shi Runrun, do you think this is the end? Wait, the fun has only just begun!"
The phone was hung up abruptly.
Shi Runrun held the phone, her heart beating like a drum.
In the study, Xiao Xuezheng was facing the computer screen with a gloomy expression.
Qin Feng's voice came from the loudspeaker, "Boss Xiao, we've investigated. He Ziming's car was tampered with by the shop where he usually took it for maintenance last night. An apprentice received a large sum of money. The remittance account is an overseas shell company, but the IP address we tracked is in Beijing, which matches the area where Lin Weiwei has been recently active."
"Is the evidence fixed?"
"It's all fixed, enough to file a case."
"Not yet." Xiao Xuezheng said coldly, "Keep a close eye on her. There might be someone behind her. I want to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"I understand. Also, Lin Jiandong is clamoring to see you in the detention center. He says he has something important to tell you that concerns your life."
Xiao Xuezheng sneered: "A last-ditch effort. Tell him I'm busy."
"yes."
The next day, Xiao Xue Zheng assigned more people to follow Shi Runrun, and they stayed with her almost all the time. Shi Runrun tried his best to maintain a normal schedule and went to the library.
After lunch, she suddenly received a call from Professor Chen Jingzhi.
"Runrun, are you free tonight? There's an academic dinner here, and there are quite a few people from abroad. It would be very helpful for your research. Would you like to come?"
Shi Runrun hesitated, "Teacher..."
"I know there's been some news online recently, but don't let outside voices influence your thinking. This opportunity is rare."
Shi Runrun looked at the two rows of bodyguards not far away and took a deep breath. "Okay, teacher, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she immediately contacted Xiao Xuezheng. The person on the other end was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Do I have to go?"
"The teacher is right. I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Besides, the occasion is very formal, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"...Send me the address. I'll have Qin Feng increase security. Let me know before you're done, and I'll pick you up."
"good."
The dinner was very high-end, with many scholars gathered there and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Shi Runrun came, he stayed beside Professor Chen and did not dare to leave for a moment.
However, she still went to the bathroom in the middle of the trip. Xiao Xue Zheng specially arranged a female bodyguard for her, so it was quite convenient.
While washing her hands, a woman in a waitress uniform walked in with her head down. As she passed by him, she seemed to slip and accidentally bumped into Shi Runrun.
"Sorry, sorry!" the waiter apologized hurriedly, his voice unclear.
Shi Runrun frowned and waved his hand: "It's okay."
She didn't notice the strange light that flashed in the woman's eyes when she lowered her head, and the small movement of quickly retracting her sleeves.
Not long after returning to the banquet hall, Shi Runrun began to feel dizzy and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
"What's wrong?" Professor Chen noticed that her face looked strange.
"Teacher, I'm fine." Shi Runrun felt uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to take out her cell phone to contact Xiao Xuezhen.
At this moment, the entire banquet hall suddenly darkened.
Immediately afterwards, exclamations broke out one after another from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shone on Shi Runrun.
At the same time, a processed voice came: "Shi Runrun! You are a liar who relied on your body to plagiarize academic achievements to get ahead! You seduced your instructor and stole confidential information. Your thesis is all fake!"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Countless gazes shot at Shi Runrun like knives, whose face turned pale in an instant!
"No... I didn't!" She argued in vain, but her voice was drowned out by the surrounding discussions.
The lights suddenly went out again.
In the darkness, someone pushed her hard!
"Ah!" Shi Runrun screamed and fell backwards.
The expected pain did not come, and a strong arm wrapped around her waist in time, holding her tightly in a familiar embrace.
At the same time, the lights in the banquet hall came on!
Xiao Xue Zheng was like a god descending from heaven, his face was cold, and his eyes swept across the entire audience with terrifying hostility.
Behind him followed Qin Feng, who had a stern look on his face, and other bodyguards.
"Who pushed just now?" Xiao Xue Zheng's voice suppressed all the noise.
There was dead silence.
Xiao Xuezheng's gaze finally fell on Shi Runrun's face, who was still in shock, and softened instantly: "It's okay."
