The safety officer had been standing outside, and upon hearing the noises coming through the soundproof door, he quickly looked over and saw two n and a woman. After a careful observation, fortunately, no one was missing any parts.
His heart, which had been tense, finally relaxed.
According to the rules, he should have entered the training arena to join them in their play.
But a sudden order from above dictated that he shouldn’t disturb them, making the safety officer highly alert as this was absolutely against the regulations.
However, as a local of Yuzhou, even though he had special skills in this line of work, he earned just under ten thousand yuan in salary, while Evergreen Liquid was offering him thirty thousand a month.
Moreover, all responsibilities were assud by those above.
No matter what was non-compliant, the orders from above were the rule!
The safety officer decisively withdrew from the training arena and waited outside, his heart also filled with anxiety as he waited.
Taking advantage of the monts when the trio opened the door, he glanced inside, thankfully, the people were still there, and no accidents had occurred.
...
After the three left, the free training arena beca even more deserted.
"It’s okay, Jiang Ning," Geng Lu comforted.
Actually, she faintly felt that Jiang Ning’s actions were wrong, but she didn’t know specifically what consequences would result from Jiang Ning’s behavior.
In a world where information flowed rapidly in later generations, many adults might not fully understand the law, let alone now, for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who often followed her own inner logic of right and wrong.
"It was Li Shi who made the mistake first, Jiang Ning was just retaliating, scaring her without harming her," Geng Lu thought.
Moreover, Jiang Ning had excellent academic performance, ranking second in grade, surely receiving preferential treatnt from the school. More importantly, Jiang Ning’s parents seed to be executives at Evergreen Liquid.
Clue after clue connected in Geng Lu’s mind, and she tried hard to convince herself that nothing would happen.
In reality, her thoughts were not correct.
...
Half an hour later.
In Yuzhou, in a certain upscale community.
"What a tornting day this has been!" Lin Zida took a can of Coke from the fridge.
Recalling today’s ordeal at the training arena, he secretly wiped a sweat from his brow; Lin Zida had never experienced such a perilous situation before.
Even with his stable mindset, he still felt shaken.
"I’m not going, never again!" Lin Zida said, imnsely relieved.
In contrast, Zhuang Jianhui walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the neighborhood’s artificial lake.
He was silent for half a minute, then suddenly said, "Jiang Ning’s actions were deliberate, but it was an attempt, right?"
Zhuang Jianhui spoke vaguely, but Lin Zida understood.
Lin Zida cald his emotions and replied, "Yes, that’s right."
"Then it’s over for him, his life is over," Zhuang Jianhui coldly concluded, his voice far more indifferent than it had been on the training field.
Thinking of Jiang Ning’s commanding presence on the training field, wielding power over life and death, Zhuang Jianhui felt particularly uncomfortable.
When the conflict between Li Shi and Jiang Ning was ongoing, Zhuang Jianhui hadn’t paid it any mind because he thought it was too trivial to care about.
The last ti Jiang Ning received an invitation from Evergreen Liquid, he sensed sothing was awry, but Li Shi dismissively suggested it might be preferential treatnt from the school for being among the top few students.
So that ti, Zhuang Jianhui couldn’t be bothered to check. What difference did it make if Jiang Ning got the invitation?
In his view, whether it was Li Shi, Qi Tianheng, or Jiang Ning, they were all of the sa level.
But this ti, things were different; he had been offended.
Zhuang Jianhui instructed, "I’ll contact my uncle to have him bring people to Guanlan Mansion to obtain the surveillance footage. Once we have the evidence, we’ll imdiately take control of Jiang Ning."
In places like the training arena, the security level is strict, with caras all over, making it easy to gather evidence.
From his perspective, obtaining the surveillance footage wouldn’t be difficult.
When the ti cos, find Li Shi and reconfirm the evidence.
However, thinking back to Li Shi’s devastated deanor before they parted, Zhuang Jianhui sighed quietly.
She’s been frightened into a shadow!
"Once he’s under control, won’t there be quite a stir at the school?" Zhuang Jianhui felt a slight headache. After all, Jiang Ning was the second in his grade, and if taken away, it would certainly cause a commotion.
This incident might break Zhuang Jianhui’s peaceful life, as he temporarily didn’t want to live under others’ scrutiny.
Lin Zida thought for a mont and said, "Yes, that’s right."
His mindset differed from Zhuang Jianhui’s; he hadn’t been threatened by Jiang Ning at the training field and had a fairly decent relationship with him, occasionally chatting about gas in the eastern corridor.
The last ti they went to rural tourism, Jiang Ning even treated him to food, and at the barbecue stand before, Jiang Ning had confronted so punks, which, in a way, was a help to him.
Now, with Jianhui clearly ready to press down on Jiang Ning, Lin Zida found it very tricky!
"Jiang Ning was still too impulsive!" Lin Zida thought.
He knew Zhuang Jianhui’s character well; having walked through the gates of Hell today, with his personality, how could he easily let go?
Lin Zida finally advised, "If your uncle really takes action, he’s utterly finished."
All his so-called second-in-grade, Marathon champion titles, once touching the bottom line, would be completely annihilated.
Lin Zida was all too aware of the official power.
Zhuang Jianhui didn’t turn around; he still looked down, the artificial lake in early winter showing a peculiar desolate beauty, with the bare branches of the willows swaying in the breeze.
He gazed at one fragile willow twig and chuckled softly, "From the mont he made a move, he should have known the consequences."
Lin Zida pondered for a mont, saying, "If you do this, his parents might..."
Nowadays, with mostly only daughters, if sothing happens to the children...
Zhuang Jianhui was completely indifferent: "They’re just tad people, how many dare to fight to the death?"
"Besides, I’m not taking his life. If they’re willing to wait, they might even see Jiang Ning co out one day."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Zida shook his head inwardly. With Jianhui’s family resources, once the evidence was secured, there would be no exception; it would certainly be the maximum punishnt.
Death would not be the case.
Currently in the country, there hasn’t been a case where soone Jiang Ning’s age would pay with their life.
But at the very least, it would be thirty years...
How many thirty years can a person have in their lifeti?
Lin Zida suggested, "I recomnd that once you have the evidence, you could contact his parents. His parents should know the weight of the situation, let them punish him for you—at least a severe beating—and then, because of your leniency, his parents would even be grateful to you. That’s actually the best option."
With this suggestion, Zhuang Jianhui finally turned around and said, "Interesting."
"I could forgive him, but what about Li Shi?" Zhuang Jianhui asked, considering Li Shi had been tornted so badly, would she let Jiang Ning go easily?
Seeing that Zhuang Jianhui was considering a lighter approach, Lin Zida thought, ’Jiang Ning, I guess I’m helping you out here?’
Once he solidified his resolve, Lin Zida said:
"As for Li Shi, well, if push cos to shove, make him repay an eye for an eye, have Jiang Ning kneel to her."
Zhuang Jianhui replied, "One ti is not enough; Li Shi would at least have him kneel for one day."
Imagining that scene, Lin Zida said, "That’s too damaging, given his personality, I doubt he could do it."
Zhuang Jianhui said lightly, "Simple, if he isn’t willing, then have his parents kneel for ten days, and see if he’d be willing then?"
After saying these words, Zhuang Jianhui took out his phone, "Let contact my uncle first to have him secure the evidence."
Lin Zida said, "I’ll try to find information about his parents."
The two of them speaking one after the other seed to have decided Jiang Ning’s fate.
No one would doubt that Jiang Ning could escape from Five Finger Mountain.
