I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Fourth Uncle, how do you think things will develop?" Lu Yining broke the silence and asked softly.

Sheng Nanting looked deeply at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window and said calmly, "Everything will develop as it should. The law will make a fair judgment, and we must accept it."

Lu Yining pursed her lips and nodded. Although her mind was still full of thoughts, she believed that every word Sheng Nanting said was right. He was the only person she could rely on in this troubled world.

The car finally arrived at the office building of Shengshi Group. The security guards were already waiting at the door. When they saw Sheng Nanting get out of the car, they quickly stepped forward and escorted the two into the building.

"Mr. Sheng, the highest level of security measures have been arranged for you." A uniformed security guard said respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sheng Nanting nodded slightly, then led Lu Yining into the office on the top floor.

As soon as she entered the office, Lu Yining felt a sense of oppression. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city's nightscape, but her gaze remained fixed on the man in front of her.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do next?" Lu Yining asked again, his eyes full of confusion.

Sheng Nanting stood by the window with his back to her. After a long while, he turned around, his eyes softening. "Yining, there are many things you don't have to rush to understand right now. You just need to remember that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the office door. An assistant hurried in and reported to Sheng Nanting with a serious face: "Mr. Sheng, I just received news that Xu Shengli and Zhang Xiumin have been officially taken away by the police for investigation."

Lu Yining's heart sank suddenly. Although she had been mentally prepared, she still found the news a little difficult to bear. She subconsciously looked at Sheng Nanting, only to see that he was still as calm and composed as ever.

"Got it. I'll continue to follow up on the progress of the case." Sheng Nanting replied briefly, then turned to Lu Yining, "Yining, rest here tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll discuss the next plan."

"Okay, Fourth Uncle." Lu Yining nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not completely dissipate.

The assistant left the office. Sheng Nanting patted Lu Yining's shoulder gently and said softly, "Don't worry, it's not over yet. Sometimes, the outcome of things is not as hopeless as it seems."

"I believe you, Fourth Uncle." Lu Yining tried hard to force a smile, but her heart was still full of unknowns and doubts.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door again, and then a secretary walked in quickly, with a look of nervousness and excitement on his face: "Mr. Sheng, there is an emergency!"

A hint of coldness flashed across Sheng Nanting's brows, and his eyes instantly became sharp. "What's the matter?"

"I just received a tip-off that someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to harm you. They have already planned a trap!" the secretary said hurriedly.

Lu Yining's heart trembled suddenly, and a chill spread down her spine. She looked up at Sheng Nanting, only to see that his eyes had become deeper, as if he had seen through everything.

"I understand." Sheng Nanting said lightly, then turned to look at Lu Yining, "Yining, wait here for a while, I will solve this matter as soon as possible."

After saying that, he strode out the door, leaving Lu Yining standing there with mixed feelings.

"Fourth Uncle, be careful..." Lu Yining muttered to himself, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

Sheng Nanting's footsteps gradually faded away, and the sound of the police sirens outside the door seemed to become clearer at this moment. Lu Yining clenched her fists and decided to survive this storm no matter what, to protect herself and everything she cherished.

In the night, the office building of Shengshi Group was brightly lit, as if foreshadowing the coming of a new storm. After Sheng Nanting left, Lu Yining stood at the office window, looking at the brightly lit city outside, her heart filled with anxiety and worry. She didn't know what would happen next, she just hoped that her fourth uncle would be safe.

Just then, there was a light knock on the door. Lu Yining came to his senses, walked to the door and opened it, and found that it was an assistant of the Shengshi Group named Li Ming.

"Ms. Lu, President Sheng asked me to stay with you for a while." Li Ming said politely.

"Oh, okay, thank you." Lu Yining smiled slightly, trying to make himself look less nervous.

Li Ming walked into the office, looked around, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect President Sheng to attach so much importance to your safety."

Lu Yining smiled and said, "We are friends, he will do this."

Li Ming nodded, then asked in a low voice: "Miss Lu, if it's convenient, can you tell me what happened tonight? Everyone is very concerned."

Lu Yining hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell him briefly: "Something went wrong at the Xu family's banquet, and the police have intervened."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming's eyes flashed with shock. "This...this is a big deal! I heard that the Xu family is very influential in the business world. This matter will probably implicate many people, right?"

"Yes, things are indeed complicated." Lu Yining nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

At this moment, there was another commotion at the door and two security guards rushed in.

"Ms. Lu, someone tried to break into the building. We have increased security measures." A security guard reported nervously.

Lu Yining's heart was lifted again, but she tried to remain calm: "Okay, thank you."

Li Ming looked at the security guard at the door and couldn't help but say, "It seems like tonight is really not peaceful. There are so many people ready to make a move."

The security guard nodded, his expression serious: "Yes, these people are coming for President Sheng. We have already arranged countermeasures."

Lu Yining looked at them gratefully and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Several security guards nodded and turned to leave the office.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Boss Sheng is truly amazing. He can remain calm and composed in such a situation. It's truly admirable."

Lu Yining smiled slightly, but his heart became more determined: "Fourth Uncle has always been my support. He is a very trustworthy person."

Li Ming nodded, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, "Miss Lu, it's really enviable to be cared for so much by President Sheng."

Lu Yining smiled and shook his head: "I still have a lot to learn, Fourth Uncle just gave me some guidance."

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and a secretary walked in quickly, looking nervous: "Ms. Lu, there is news that those people are preparing to take action tonight. We must evacuate immediately."

Lu Yining's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Li Ming: "What should we do now?"
