Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Golden Tycoon (16)
Jin Ning listened to the buzz-cut man’s account and was inexplicably reminded of the girl’s retreating figure as she left that day.
“Brother Ning, did you notice anything unusual at the ti?”
The banquet that day was hosted by the Wei family. Wei Linxuan was inexplicably injured and hospitalized, while Gao Desheng died mysteriously at the banquet.
But upon investigation, no one was suspected.
Gao Desheng had died of a sudden heart attack.
It could be said that the situation was very strange.
...
Jin Ning cald his mind, “No.”
Jin Ning was not a suspect. He just happened to be there, and the buzz-cut man ca over to ask if he could find any clues.
When Jin Ning said no, the buzz-cut man had no more to ask.
After exchanging a few more words with Jin Ning, he stood up to take his leave.
After the buzz-cut man left, Jin Ning took out his phone and sent a text ssage to a number.
[Send a copy of the surveillance footage from the hotel where Gao Desheng died.]
“Is he gone?”
Jin Ning secretly turned off his phone and looked up at Chuzheng, “Yeah.”
“They’re from the police station.” Jin Ning’s gaze lightly fell on her, “They ca to ask about Gao Desheng’s matter.”
Chuzheng replied with a cold face, “What are you trying to say?”
Does this little thing suspect ?
Although I did it.
But how could I admit it?
Impossible!
I will never admit it in this lifeti!
Jin Ning suddenly laughed, she was indeed sharp.
“Nothing,” Jin Ning shook his head and naturally changed the subject, “I usually live here alone. Clean up the room next door and you can live there.”
Jin Ning’s apartnt was quite spacious.
And for convenience, there wasn’t much stuff in the apartnt.
Chuzheng just made the bed in her room and did not touch anything else.
Find a chance to touch Good Person Card’s hair.
So soft.
It’s irresistibly tempting!
–
After Chuzheng had finished tidying up, she saw Jin Ning sitting in his wheelchair, staring at the door, lost in thought.
“What’s wrong?”
Jin Ning turned around and started ordering Chuzheng around, “Find soone to change the lock.”
“Huh?” Why change the lock out of the blue? I’m not planning on locking you in yet.
“Jin Chen still has a key. I don’t like him coming in suddenly,” Jin Ning explained.
Chuzheng nodded thoughtfully, “Okay, will do.”
Jin Ning returned to his room and closed the door. Before long, he received a package containing video data.
He locked the door, turned on the computer, and connected it to his phone.
The video was from the day of Gao Desheng’s incident.
Jin Ning watched it all the way through.
There was no sign of Chuzheng in the video, as if she had never been at the banquet.
Jin Ning touched the jade on his neck, which had ward up to his temperature.
“Who are you, really?”
Jin Ning murmured softly.
“Xia Chuzheng.”
–
Chuzheng said she ca to take care of Jin Ning, but sotis he felt that was not the case at all.
Every day, they either ordered takeout or went out to eat for als.
Is this what a qualified caretaker does?
Hmm…
She also often brought back heaps of random expensive items, tossed them on the table, and then never looked at them again.
Occasionally on a whim, she would throw sothing at him.
What is a person who isn’t short of money doing, staying with a disabled person like him? What is she seeking?
“Jin Ning.” Chuzheng handed him a cup of water. Jin Ning took it and thanked her politely.
He took a sip; the water was hot and just right.
To say she is not good at taking care of people… it seems she kind of is.
“Have you seen a doctor about your leg?”
Jin Ning paused his drinking, then slowly set his cup down, “I’m fine as it is.”
“You don’t want to stand up?” Being pushed around every day, doesn’t it annoy you? I don’t want to push! Start freeing your hands the mont you stand up!!”
Jin Ning looked at the water in the cup, his tone sowhat weary, “So things, just because I want them, doesn’t an they’re possible.”
“Then you can start wanting now,” Chuzheng said. “I will make it happen.”
Jin Ning stood frozen.
These words… Why do they sound like lines from a TV drama?
And yet, when she uttered them, they carried a certain commanding presence.
However, his heart was still warm.
As if sothing had suddenly filled up his empty heart.
“I’m a bit sleepy, I’m going back to my room. Don’t call for dinner tonight.”
Jin Ning was sowhat in a flurry to escape.
Escaping the issues with his legs, as well as the sowhat flirtatious words Chuzheng had said.
His legs…
…had a chance of recovery, but he had given up, and now it was probably too late.
Although Jin Ning had said he wouldn’t eat dinner, Chuzheng still knocked on his door when it was ti to eat.
Jin Ning looked at the ti, 6:30 pm.
Not a minute more, not a minute less.
Every day at this ti.
Very regular.
Jin Ning refused to open the door and eat, Chuzheng didn’t insist, and it beca quiet outside.
Jin Ning didn’t know how long he had slept, when he woke up, it was already 11 pm.
He propped himself up in bed, moved onto the wheelchair with so difficulty, and then wheeled himself out.
The living room floor lamp was on. Jin Ning wheeled into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of water, twisted it open, took a sip and looked towards Chuzheng’s room.
He hesitated for a mont, put down the water, and wheeled over.
No light was on in the room, Jin Ning listened quietly for a mont.
Sleeping already?
Ding…
In the silent space where you could hear a pin drop, a sudden light sound rang out, like a coin falling onto the floor, creating a noise on impact.
Jin Ning’s eyebrows knitted suddenly, and his hand reached under the wheelchair.
He looked toward the direction of the bathroom. It was pitch dark.
Just as Jin Ning tensed up, preparing to go over and check, the door at the entrance suddenly opened.
A slender figure appeared at the door and with a ‘click’, all the lights in the living room turned on.
Chuzheng: “…”
F*ck!
Scared the living daylights out of !
Jin Ning, hidden from the floor lamp’s reach in the living room, beca visible only after Chuzheng turned on the lights, and then…
The Good Person Card had co out, waiting specially to get rid of ?
The guns are all prepared!!
The Good Person Card actually has guns!!
Chuzheng stood coolly at the entrance.
Just a gun.
A small problem.
Jin Ning sat in the wheelchair, gun in hand, barrel pointed at the bathroom door, the two faced each other in silence.
“Where have you been?” Jin Ning spoke up, his voice betraying nothing unusual, gun still aid at the bathroom.
Chuzheng glanced at the bathroom, then calmly closed the door, took off her shoes, “Felt a bit hungry, went out to buy so food. What are you doing up?”
She walked inside, her slippers making a asured sound.
“Getting water,” Jin Ning paused slightly, “It’s late. Better get so sleep.”
Chuzheng looked at him, picking up a baseball bat from the corner of the wall.
“Mhm.”
Before the echo faded, Chuzheng had kicked open the bathroom door.
Jin Ning heard a clattering noise from inside, and in less than a minute, Chuzheng ca out.
She was dragging a person behind her.
Beaten up, bloody, and looking particularly miserable, the person was now staring at Chuzheng with a face full of terror.
Chuzheng dropped the person on the floor: “What’s this one here for?”
She was asking Jin Ning.
Jin Ning had already put away the gun, and Chuzheng sized him up to see there was nothing unusual on his person; it was probably hidden sowhere on the wheelchair.
“Don’t know,” Jin Ning said. “Could be a thief.”
Chuzheng indeed found items that she had placed on the table on the person, even the least valuable among them worth tens of thousands.
