Miss Gu came with Leng Shaoting, so she was either his relative or his girlfriend. Either way, she had a high status, but the other people had to admire Miss Gu for other reasons.
When Zhang Jingnan asked that question, someone immediately told him about Gu Ning’s achievements.
After hearing what Gu Ning had achieved, Zhang Jingnan was greatly surprised and amazed.
She was only nineteen years old, but she was already a billionaire. Also it only took her a year!
The younger generation was extremely impressive!
Zhang Jingnan didn’t wonder whether Gu Ning got all of her achievements by playing tricks. If she didn’t have abilities, she wouldn’t stand out no matter what tricks she played.
Even if she became successful for the time being, it wouldn’t last. At most, she had used some connections.
And it was very common for businessmen to have connections in business and politics, because it was very important. Anyway, it still relied on her own abilities to make full use of her connections.
After the murdered admitted his crime, the police informed the dead woman’s parents. The dead woman’s parents stayed in the Public Security Bureau with their daughter’s body for a long time. They were unwilling to leave their daughter.
It was hard for them to accept the fact that the murderer turned out to be their son-in-law, even though it was their daughter who betrayed him first.
If their daughter had cheated on him, he could have divorced her. Their daughter could leave without any money. Why did he have to kill her?
He Yuanhao said it was an accident, but the dead woman’s parents refused to accept that reason.
…
After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the house, it was nearly 6:30 pm. Before they came, they had told Jing Yunyao to eat with Gu Man since they would eat out. When they were done, they would go to the hospital to pick her up.
Therefore, as soon as they left the Public Security Bureaus, they went to dine in a restaurant.
Because there were only two of them, they chose a simple diner.
They ordered four dishes, including a soup, which was enough for two people, after which they drove to the hospital.
They stayed with Gu Man at the hospital for a while before they left.
Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao were leaving the next morning, so they wouldn’t visit Gu Man again. Therefore they needed to say good-bye to Gu Man and Tang Yunfan tonight.
…
“Ningning, there is nothing you need to do here. If you have anything to deal with in the capital, you can go now. You can come to see me again when Wenxin gets married,” said Gu Man. She didn’t want to waste Gu Ning’s time. After all, Gu Ning wasn’t an ordinary student. She was the chairman of a large business group.
“Right, I don’t know any bosses who can be as free as you. I know you trust the managers you hired, and I believe you can make the right choices, but you need to set an example for your staff since you’re the boss,” said Tang Yunfan.
Gu Ning understood that, but she stayed here for so long because of Gu Man’s delivery. In addition, her company didn’t need her right now, so she hadn’t rushed to leave.
Anyway, since Tang Yunfan told her she should pay more attention to her business, she thought that she should go back to work. She believed that the Tang family would take good care of Gu Man.
“Great, I’ll go back with my mother-in-law and Shaoting tomorrow. I’ll come to see you again before Wenxin’s wedding.” Gu Ning agreed. Since Tang Yunfan told her to focus on her business, she couldn’t argue. In fact, she really had paid little attention to her business recently.
Hearing that Gu Ning was going back to the capital with him, Leng Shaoting was very happy. There was a faint smile on his face, but it wasn’t noticeable.
He had to go back to their military base the day after tomorrow, but at least he could spend tomorrow with Gu Ning.
After saying good-bye to Tang Yunfan and Gu Man, Gu Ning and the others left.
What had happened in house No. 35 today had already spread. People who lived nearby all felt disgusted. The neighbors didn’t dare to walk past house No. 35 and had to choose a longer route to go home.
If the female owner died of an illness, it wouldn’t be so scary. However, the horrifying thing was that she was killed by her husband.
They were scared even when they saw house No. 35 from a distance, let alone when they went closer.
…
Back at home, Gu Ning suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask He Yuanhao about the jade pendant in his safe. Where did he get it?
Because Gu Ning forgot to ask him about it, she decided to let it go. She couldn’t save everyone and spend her whole life helping others.
She would only help the innocent when she saw they were in trouble right in front of her.
Afterwards, Gu Ning took out the jade pendant to study it, trying to learn more about it.
Jing Yunyao gave it a glance, and said, “it has been kept by an evil cultivator before.”
Even though Gu Ning had told Jing Yunyao about the jade pendant that morning, she didn’t take it out, so Jing Yunyao didn’t see it at that time.
Now Gu Ning took it out, and Jing Yunyao could see that it was covered in evil force and had been kept by an evil cultivator.
Hearing that, both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were surprised, because they hadn’t thought about that possibility. They thought it was dug from a grave. Unexpectedly, it had been kept by an evil cultivator before.
It was understandable, because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were at a low level. They hadn’t encountered such a thing before, so it wasn’t surprising that they knew nothing about it.
“Does it mean that the murderer has a relationship with an evil cultivator?” Gu Ning asked.
“They might not have a relationship. The murderer could just have bought this jade pendant from an evil cultivator. Normally, evil cultivators will sell their jewelry for money if they’re running out of money. It’s also possible that someone else bought it from an evil cultivator, and the murderer got it later,” said Jing Yunyao.
“No matter what, since it’s connected to an evil cultivator, I think it’s necessary to ask the murderer where he got this jade pendant,” said Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao agreed on that. Therefore, Leng Shaoting called Zhang Jingnan at once and told him that he needed to see He Yuanhao. Leng Shaoting couldn’t get into the room where He Yuanhao was kept unless the policeman on duty let him in.
Although it was already 9 pm, they had to go back to the capital tomorrow. They didn’t have much time, so they had to do it now.
They would see what to do after they got the answer.
