Chapter 1047: Out on a Walk at 2am
She had always known that Chu Xiaoran was a vicious and merciless person and she had offended him before, so it was normal for something like this to happen.
When she recalled that Xia Xiaoman even ran over just now to beg her to stop fighting with Chu Xiaoran, she felt really speechless. She and Chu Xiaoran were already irreconcilable enemies, and Chu Xiaoran even wanted to take her life.
Xia Xiaoman ran over to beg her despite not knowing anything. Why didn’t she go beg Chu Xiaoran?
Because she knew that Chu Xiaoran wouldn’t listen to her and would even suspect that she still had feelings for Xu Wenlang. Xia Xiaoman had no confidence in front of Chu Xiaoran, but she had plenty of confidence in front of Xu Wenlang so she ran over to beg Xu Wenlang.
The man that was caught refused to admit anything. He said that he had only come out for a walk, but then suddenly got arrested. The police can’t arrest random people!
As Ning Shu wrote her testimony, she heard this and laughed coldly. It was near 2am, yet he was still out for a walk?
The police were the ones in charge of the interrogation. They directly stripped the man down to his boxers before throwing him in the freezer.
The man had still been very unyielding earlier, but soon he got so cold that he shivered nonstop. He kept jumping around inside the freezer to warm up, but finally he couldn’t take it anymore and said that he was willing to confess.
When the man came out, the police gave him a thin blanket. The man was shuddering uncontrollably and snot was dripping down his face. His teeth chattered as he gave his confession.
He said that it had been because Ning Shu had sent his older brother to jail. This man’s brother was one of the hoodlums that had come to Ning Shu’s firm to cause trouble before. He said that he had only planned this because he held a grudge against Ning Shu.
Ning Shu frowned when she heard this confession. This was a seemingly reasonable confession and it didn’t leak that there was a person behind the scenes at all.
Ning Shu saw that this man probably wouldn’t rat out Chu Xiaoran, but since he had committed the deed, he had to pay the price. He’ll just have to wait to rot in prison. Even if he didn’t stay in prison long enough for that to happen, she’d still make sure that he spent the rest of his life in prison.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that she had reacted fast, her corpse would’ve been just as destroyed as the car and her task would’ve been counted as a fail.
When Ning Shu got out from the police station, the sky had already lightened. She called a cab and returned to the law firm to rest for a while on the sofa. She really was worn out.
She knew that compared to Chu Xiaoran, her capabilities weren’t as strong. However, she had one advantage, which was that the people supporting her were stronger than Chu Xiaoran. However, if she had been weak enough to die, the government would also give up on her.
Ning Shu visited the government and had them do an in-depth check on Chu Xiaoran, the reason being that Chu Xiaoran seemed to be involved in criminal activities. Meanwhile, she made herself the bait.
If it was discovered that Chu Xiaoran was involved in criminal activities, they’d also be able to attack the power of the underground, so this would be a great achievement.
After this, Ning Shu grabbed her documents and headed to Chu Xiaoran’s company. This time, she was here to ask for the fine money.
When Chu Xiaoran saw Ning Shu, he was shocked, but he quickly restrained his expression and instead, looked at her scornfully. “Lawyer Xu sure is dedicated to work. I hear that you just got in a car accident. Why aren’t you resting in a hospital and instead, being a busybody and coming here to nag about money?”
Ning Shu clenched her fist, then loosened it again as she said calmly, “Chairman Chu sure pays a lot of attention to me. The accident happened just yesterday night, yet you already know about it by this morning.”
Chu Xiaoran laughed. “Of course I pay close attention to you. Good thing nothing happened, otherwise it’d be such a shame.”
More like it was a shame nothing had happened to her.
