Chapter 423 The Danger is Approaching.

Official from the Discipline Inspection Department?

Xia Ning feels nervous. She asks, “What happened?”

“Nothing serious. It is about Secretary Yi Yunyi. Miss Xia, will you be free at three in the afternoon tomorrow?”

Yi Yunyi? Her second elder brother-in-law?

Xia Ning feels worried, “Mr. Cheng, what on earth happened? Can you tell me?”

“Come to the municipal committee at three in the afternoon tomorrow and you will know. Miss Xia, I may hang up for now.”

The caller hangs up. Xia Ning dials Yi Yunyi’s number at once, but only to find that Yi Yunyi’s phone is off!

It is bad!

At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings again. It is Gu Ruoruo. Xia Ning presses the answer button at once. She has not said anything while she hears Gu Ruoruo crying.

Xia Ning feels worried. She asks, “Ruoruo, does anything happen to my brother?”

“Sister Xia.” Gu Ruoruo says, “It is my fault. I created the trouble. Yi has been taken away for inspection...” She cries.

“Ruoruo, don’t cry for now. Calm down. Tell me what happens.”

Gu Ruoruo takes some deep breaths to calm herself down. She says, “Sister Xia, do you remember the adornment of Flying Wing to Wing in Qianfu Jewelry store?”

“Hum.”

“People from the discipline inspection department said they suspected that Yi took bribes. It is because of the Flying Wing to Wing I received. Oh... I feel very regretful about that. I took it and brought the trouble to Yi...” She cries again.

Xia Ning listens to her and feels her heart tightened. She feels something wrong. That day, the clerk in Qianfu Jewelry said that Flying Wing to Wing was not for sale. But then, it was sent to Gu Ruoruo. Now, the discipline inspection department is suspicious of Yi Yunyi’s taking bribes...

The case is not simple. Seemingly, someone is operating it behind.

Wait!

Xia Ning’s eyes brighten. She says to Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, don’t worry. You may frankly answer the questions the official in the discipline inspection department asks. I will try to figure it out. Remember not to cry. Your crying may make the situation tougher for my brother. He will need to spend some efforts in taking care of you.”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo seems to realize something. She stops crying at once, “Yes. Why didn’t I think about this! Yi is in trouble now. I can’t make him worried about me. Sister Xia, thank you. I will take care of myself.”

“Hum. I will call you with any news. I may go to learn more information about the case. Bye.”

“Sister Xia, thank you.”

Xia Ning hangs up. She looks for the number in the telephone directory. She remembers a man. It is Su Shen.

Qianfu Jewelry is a property of Su Shen. Only Su Shen has the authority to sell Flying Wing to Wing. Therefore, Yi Yunyi’s taking bribes case must be related to him.

Xia Ning has found Su Shen’s number. She is just going to dial the number when her phone rings again. It is her mother-in-law Zheng Yao.

Xia Ning’s hands tremble. It can’t be coincident for her mother-in-law to call her at this time.

Can it be related to her brother’s case?

Xia Ning holds the phone tightly. She closes her eyes to calm herself down for a while and presses the answer button, “Mom...”

“You jinx! Don’t call me mom!”

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. She has predicted that her mother-in-law won’t show a smiling face to her. She is quite mentally prepared for her mother-in-law’s scolding. Xia Ning says, “Mom, you may not scold me for now. What are you calling for?”

“You are asking what I am calling for? Yi was taken away by the discipline inspection department. Don’t you know that? Don’t pretend!”

“Mom, I knew that my brother was taken away because of an adornment...”

“You knew it!” Zheng Yao gasps, “You went to buy the jewelry with the little bitch of Gu Family that day, didn’t you? Xia Ning, you are a genius! Do you want to pull down the Yi Family? Listen to me. As long as I am alive, you won’t make it! Even if I may die, I will draw you to hell with me!”

Xia Ning frowns tightly. Zheng Yao speaks very mean words.

“Mom, before the conclusion comes out, I hope you calm down. Isn’t the discipline inspection department investigating now? If I did anything, I won’t be able to get away from being punished by the laws. Now, the most important thing is to solve the problem. Mom, it is no use scolding me to vent your anger.”

“Good. Xia Ning, you may keep my words in your mind. Devils will be paid back with punishments. It is just not the right time yet! I will wait to see how you will end up!”

Then, Zheng Yao hangs up.

Xia Ning purses her lips. She gives a sigh.

The misunderstanding between her mother-in-law and her gets worse. Seemingly, it is impossible to be solved within a short time. Now, her mother-in-law has such serious bias against her. No matter what she says, her mother-in-law won’t believe her. She can’t but wait to solve it in the future. Anyway, she has got quite a lot of time.

The most important thing for the moment is to figure out the truth of the case related to her brother. She also needs to find out Su Shen’s purpose.

She dials Su Shen’s number. It rings for quite a while before it is answered.

“Oh. Mrs. Yi. You are a surprising caller. Why are you calling me so late?”

Xia Ning freezes her eyes. She directly asks, “President Su, are you free now? Can we meet somewhere?”

It is at nine in the evening in the Starbucks coffee shop.

Xia Ning puts down the coffee, of which she has finished half. She lifts her head to look at Su Shen, “President Su, sorry to bother you to come out so late.”

Su Shen smiles, “It is fine. I have just finished dinner with my customers. I wonder why you ask me to come in such a hurry?”

“President Su, Qianfu Jewelry is a property of TC Group, isn’t it?”

Su Shen’s eyes gleam. He nods, “Yes. I bought Qianfu Jewelry because Xiaolan...”

“Then the adornment Flying Wing to Wing was also sent by you to Gu Ruoruo. Am I right?” Xia Ning has no interest in listening to Su Shen’s old story. She interrupts to ask.

Su Shen feels stuck. He looks meaningfully at Xia Ning for quite a while and says, “Do you mean the case of Secretary Yi Yunyi?”

“So, you knew it. Then, I may not need to repeat.” Xia Ning says in a serious voice, “President Su, I don’t know how many things get involved in this case. But I know you must have something to do with the case of my brother’s taking bribes! President Su, as the wife of Yi Yunrui, I am now telling you to get rid of this case within a week. Or, I will come to you with some consequences!”

Not expecting that Xia Ning will speak so callously to him, Su Shen is shocked blankly.

“President Su, you may think that I’m bullying you with the identity of my husband. However, Yi Yunyi is my second elder brother-in-law and Gu Ruoruo is my good friend, and the case is related to you. I can’t but come to you first. Yes, I am making use of the power of my husband. You may not obey me. But when my husband comes back, I am afraid that not only me, but also my husband will come to get even with you. President Su, you may think carefully about it.”

Su Shen hesitates. He lowers his eyes.

Yi Yunrui told him to protect Xia Ning before he left for Beijing. Yi Yunrui had got something about him. He cooperates with that man to protect himself as well as to keep the power of both sides in balance. He didn’t expect that Xia Ning would come to him in person and speak so toughly to him.

They haven’t seen each other for a few months and the woman seems to have made quite much progress.

If he figures out a way to help Yi Yunyi, he will offend that man. If he doesn’t help Yi Yunyi, he will offend Xia Ning, which means offending Yi Yunrui.

It is really a tough situation. He is put in the middle. If he offends either of the two sides, he will end up in a deadly disaster.

Su Shen takes a sip of the coffee. He thinks for a while. Then, he puts down the coffee and stands up, “Quite a lot of people are involved in the case. Mrs. Yi, please give me some time to think about it.”

“Reply to me tomorrow.” Xia Ning says. She puts a one-hundred banknote on the table and turns to leave. She has just taken a few steps when she remembers something. She turns to Su Shen and says, “Reply to me by three in the afternoon tomorrow.”

Su Shen lifts his eyebrows. He looks at Xia Ning, who goes away in her high heel shoes. He screws his eyes, which gleam sharply.

To choose a side? Ah. It is tough, but it is also a chance!

It depends on how he decides.

The next morning, after she finishes the work in Junhao Group, Xia Ning makes some time to go back to World Era Weekly. She wants to see Gu Ruoruo. Surprisingly, she has just got to the office when she sees Gu Ruoruo angrily coming out. Based on her direction, she has just come out from Gu Luan’s office.

Xia Ning feels surprised. She goes to Gu Ruoruo at once. At the time, Gu Ruoruo sees her, too. Before Xia Ning speaks, Gu Ruoruo holds her at once, “Sister Xia, my brother is hateful.”

Xia Ning glances around and draws Gu Ruoruo into her office. After closing the door, Xia Ning asks, “Ruoruo, why do you look so upset? What happens?”

Gu Ruoruo remembers what has just happened. She is still angry, “Sister Xia, you don’t know what my brother said to me in his office! He told me to leave Yi for now. I was very angry.”

Xia Ning feels confused, wondering why Gu Luan would say so.

“Director Gu said so? Did he mention any reasons?”

“My brother heard that something happened to Yi recently. He told me not to get involved. He said that I’d better stay away from Yi. I felt even angrier that he told me to tell the officials from the discipline inspection department that Yi and I were just common friends! God, Yi is in trouble now. If I betray him at this moment, he will be very sad. I can’t do that! So, I quarreled with my brother.”

Xia Ning thinks for a while. As a matter of fact, Gu Luan’s behaviors are understandable. However, she feels very disappointed that he really does so.

Does he do it to protect himself? It doesn’t look like things he will do based on his personality.

In the past, when some things happened to people in the weekly, Gu Luan always tried to defend his people. Now, it is about his sister, while he gives her the serious threat. Does Gu Luan have a problem with Yi Yunyi? Or, does he disagree on the relationship between Gu Ruoruo and Yi Yunyi?

The problem is that Gu Ruoruo has been dating Yi Yunyi for quite some time while Xia Ning has noticed no disagreements of Gu Luan on it.

Then, what is the reason?

“Sister Xia, Chief Editor Leng was also there! I listened to them outside for a while and heard my brother told Chief Editor Leng to keep some distance from Yi Yuntian, too! Then, I also heard my brother mention Commander Yi.”

“About what? What did Director Gu say?”

Gu Ruoruo thinks for a while, “My brother seemed to think that Yi Yunyi and Yi Yunrui would be in trouble recently. He told Chief Editor Leng not to contact with the Yi’s family to avoid drawing the whole World Era Weekly into it.”
