Police Officer Wang went to the Ning family to search. With the recording, he successfully took Ning Su away. Even Ning Xin couldn't stop him. The scene at the time was truly tragic.
Ning Su was already mentally unstable, crying and screaming not to go.
"Sister, Sister, save me!"
Ning Xin tried to pull her back and discussed with Officer Wang, "Officer, can you let me say a few words to Su Su? You saw it yourself, her mental state is very unstable now..."
"Whether her mental state is stable will naturally be determined by doctors," Officer Wang said sternly, disregarding Ning Su's cries and taking her away.
Ning Xin stood frozen, her hands clenched into fists.
A servant nearby anxiously said, "Young Miss, what should we do? I think Miss seems to be in a bad mental state. If she goes to the police station, will she..."
Before she could finish, Ning Xin glanced at her.
The servant instinctively fell silent, not daring to speak further.
Ning Xin's eyes were clouded. She took out her phone and dialed a number. With difficulty, she explained the situation. Whatever the other person said, Ning Xin's eyes turned a little red.
"...She's my sister, I can't abandon her."
"...I know this has nothing to do with you, but right now, only you can help me."
"...I understand. I'll handle it myself."
After hanging up, Ning Xin clutched her phone and stood there for a long, long time without moving. The servant watched, inexplicably feeling that her young lady was making a decision.
Between acting and not acting, she would eventually make a choice.
Soon, Ning Xin dialed another number. Her face was expressionless, but her voice was slightly gentler, "Deputy Bureau Chief Sun, it's me. There's something I'd like to ask for your help."
The servant was startled.
Bureau Chief Sun? Could it be that newly appointed deputy bureau chief?
She remembered seeing this deputy bureau chief visit their home before. He seemed to be a suitor of her young lady. If she remembered correctly, this bureau chief was already forty years old this year.
In the evening, the crescent moon was quietly hidden. In the bedroom, an intimate moment had just concluded.
Fu Jing Shu lay on the bed, his arm around his wife, speaking tenderly, "I won't go to the company tomorrow. I'll take you, Chen Chen, and Xi Xi to the resort to play, okay?"
His voice was low, yet in the deep night, it revealed a hint of tenderness.
Shen Qing Qing leaned lazily on his shoulder, "Okay. But has Ning Su's matter been handled? The evidence is conclusive this time, even Ning Xin probably won't be able to do anything."
Fu Jing Shu's eyes deepened as he patted her back.
"I'll handle it. Don't worry."
Shen Qing Qing yawned and lazily kissed his cheek, then closed her eyes, contentedly preparing to sleep. The man's embrace was warm and secure.
She fell asleep quickly.
Fu Jing Shu gazed at his sleeping wife in his arms for a while, then reluctantly tucked her in. He got up and took his phone to the balcony at the end of the second-floor corridor.
He came out wearing only a single layer, and the night wind was sharp, but he didn't feel cold at all.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Ning Su is at the police station now."
"Take care of her for me."
This 'taking care' was not the usual kind, and the person on the other end understood. "No problem, but Old Fu, can you really bear it? This woman has been deeply in love with you for years without changing. I thought she could actually make your iron tree bloom."
Fu Jing Shu rested one hand on the railing, his ring glinting in the moonlight.
"I have a wife. Don't say such things in the future, it will upset her."
"Tsk tsk tsk, a real henpecked husband," the man sighed, then asked with great curiosity, "I know you're married, but the old man is pressuring me not to let me return to the country. The favor you asked me to do, I will arrange it, but let's be clear in advance: when I return to the country, you must let me meet your little wife."
Little wife...
Fu Jing Shu's thin lips curved slightly. "Yes. I'm hanging up."
When he returned to the bedroom, he stood by the bed for a while. After the chill on his body dispersed, he lifted the covers and lay down. His wife, even in her sleep, familiarized herself by rolling into his embrace.
He lowered his head and saw his wife's slightly furrowed brow gradually smooth out, his eyes filling with tenderness.
"Sleep,"
He whispered coaxingly.
Shen Qing Qing had a good night's sleep.
This time, Ning Su was detained for three days and was eventually released.
King told Shen Qing Qing about this outcome. He had originally gone to visit her out of kindness, only to be told that she had already been bailed out.
He immediately sent people to investigate who had done it.
After the results came back, he quickly told Shen Qing Qing the news, ending with a playful question, "Guess who it was."
Shen Qing Qing, who was cutting fruit, was not surprised. "Who else could it be? Ning Xin."
"It's her, but there's someone else too." King leaned against the doorframe, yawning lazily. His somewhat muffled voice held a hint of disdain, "Ning Xin alone wouldn't have been able to do it."
Shen Qing Qing looked back at him. "And who else?"
"Give me a reward, and I'll tell you," King's gaze was fixed on the plate of fruit.
Shen Qing Qing didn't hesitate. She was cutting it for everyone to eat anyway, so she gave him the whole plate and took out other fruits from the refrigerator.
"It's Deputy Bureau Chief Sun."
"How is he connected to Ning Xin?" Shen Qing Qing knew this deputy bureau chief, who was in his early forties and had recently been appointed. Due to the significant scandal involving Director Liu at the hospital, several high-ranking officials had faced criticism, and the former deputy bureau chief was the ultimate scapegoat in this incident.
This was the result of negotiations between various factions.
Of course, this deputy bureau chief was not entirely innocent; he had quite a few shady dealings.
King took a bite of an apple, the crunch echoing loudly. "You wouldn't know this. I found it strange, so I had someone investigate. This deputy bureau chief has quite a background. His family is the Sun family, the one that dominates H City. They control a significant portion of H City's economic lifeline. While not comparable to your man, they are only slightly inferior."
Shen Qing Qing understood. "No wonder. What was the condition for him helping Ning Xin?"
People who reached that position were certainly not good people. They wouldn't help you for no reason; they must have sought something in return.
Moreover, having just taken office, acting to bail someone out of the police station at this time would not benefit him at all. Therefore, what he received must have been worth a hundred times more than his efforts.
"I really don't know about that. I only know that this deputy bureau chief seems to be very close to Ning Xin." Both of them were very cautious, and King hadn't investigated that far yet.
Shen Qing Qing nodded. "Let her out then. I never expected to resolve her in one go. After all, if Ning Xin doesn't fall, Ning Su will never fall."
Therefore, her target was no longer Ning Su.
At the airport, Ning Xin hugged her pale-faced, expressionless sister and felt a pang of sadness. She said softly, "Su Su, when you go abroad this time, you must be good. Don't come back. If you miss your sister, call me. Sister will come to see you abroad, okay?"
Her voice was already as gentle as possible, but Ning Su still trembled as if startled.
