Lu Ning would never let the scheming woman escape so easily!

"Weren't you just shouting that you wanted evidence and to settle accounts?"

She crossed her arms in front of her: "There are surveillance cameras now, why are you leaving? Qin Xiang, are you feeling guilty?"

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "What are you feeling guilty about? Xiangxiang is just too badly injured and needs to go to the hospital for treatment."

"Then let's wait for the surveillance footage to be pulled up and see. It won't take much time anyway, and she won't die."

Lu Ning glanced at Qin Xiang, her innocent eyes darting around in fright.

Qin Xiang pretended to faint in Lu Dongyou's arms: "Big brother, I really feel so bad, I can't hold on any longer."

"Xiangxiang, just hang in there a little longer. Once the surveillance footage is ready, I'll teach Lu Ning a lesson for you!"

Qin Xiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; she absolutely could not allow the surveillance footage to be accessed!

Otherwise, she would be completely finished.

She immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Xiangxiang, are you alright?"

Lu Dongyou, holding Qin Xiang in his arms, stood up and looked at Lu Ning: "I'll take her to the hospital first. Once the surveillance footage is available, I will definitely pursue the matter to the end on Xiangxiang's behalf!"

Lu Ning saw through Qin Xiang's little trick.

She shouted, "Qin Xiang, you can't hide forever. The surveillance footage is right here!"

Qin Xiang leaned against Lu Dongyou's chest, her eyelashes fluttering in fright, but she dared not wake up!

"Xiangxiang doesn't need to hide, Lu Ning, you just wait!"

Lu Dongyou angrily left, carrying Qin Xiang in his arms.

Looking at Qin Xiang's frightened expression, Lu Ning laughed out loud: "I thought she was so capable? She got scared away so easily?"

Ji Chiqian said in a low voice, "I can stop them."

Without his permission, the police cannot get up here.

"Need not."

Lu Ning waved her hand.

"Such a great opportunity to slap them in the face, you want to give it up?"

"It's not that I want to give up, but the surveillance camera is broken."

Lu Ning had just checked the surveillance camera; there was no infrared response, so it was faulty.

Although she also really wanted to use the surveillance footage to expose the white lotus's lies and give her older brother a good slap in the face!

Unfortunately, Bai Lianhua was quite lucky this time.

But the fact that the surveillance system was broken didn't mean she was going to let Qin Xiang off the hook. She had pretended not to know that the surveillance room was broken and said that on purpose just to tease Qin Xiang.

When Bai Lianhua heard that there was a surveillance camera, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. It was really funny.

Ji Chiqian also took a closer look at the surveillance camera on the wall, and it really was broken.

He hadn't expected her to be so thoughtful.

He glanced at the police officer: "Although the surveillance camera is broken, it doesn't affect your right to seek redress."

"How can we protect our rights without evidence? Forget it. Anyway, seeing Qin Xiang fall like that and be scared like a dog is enough to make me feel better."

Anyway, Qin Xiang didn't manage to hit her.

She didn't suffer any loss either.

Ji Chiqian then put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go."

"By the way, how did you suddenly end up in Yunjing?"

Lu Ning had wanted to ask that earlier.

But because the white lotus was still there, she didn't have time.

Isn't Ji Chiqian in his hometown, City A?

Ji Chiqian looked somewhat awkward when she asked him: "Come and take a look."

"Oh, right, school hasn't started yet, so you can still come out for a walk. But what a coincidence that you ended up here?"

The man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "It was Gu Zifeng who called me."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Lu Ning was here and that he had been stopped by his bodyguard.

She almost found out.

Lu Ning suddenly realized: "No wonder. Oh right, I have something important to do."

Now that the eldest brother has taken Bai Lianhua to the hospital, doesn't that mean the young master of the Ji family is left without anyone?

She could take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Lu Ning peeked out and heard Ji Chiqian's voice beside her: "What are you looking at?"

Shh! Keep your voice down.

Lu Ning held Ji Chiqian's hand and carefully hid behind the vase.

Ji Chiqian obediently stood beside her and shook his head at the bodyguards hiding in the shadows.

Lu Ning said in a low voice, "Don't you know that the young master of the Ji family is having dinner in that private room over there?"

Ji Chiqian's eyes held a hint of mockery: "And then?"

Lu Ning turned to look at him, somewhat helplessly: "When Gu Zifeng called you, didn't he tell you what you wanted to do here? Now is a good opportunity."

"What good opportunity?"

"Of course, this is a great opportunity to discuss investment with the young master of the Ji family. I absolutely cannot let the Lu family beat me to it."

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Ji Group will invest."

"Are you so sure? Did you just go to see that young master of the Ji family?"

Ji Chiqian coughed and replied somewhat guiltily, "Yes, I've met him."

"So how did your conversation go?"

"good."

"But I heard that the young master of the Ji family is difficult to deal with, and is probably a very picky person. I didn't expect you to reach an agreement with him so quickly?"

Ji Chiqian's brows twitched slightly: "Who told you he's difficult to deal with?"

"Everyone says so, and I just saw him here."

Ji Chiqian's heart suddenly tightened. Observing her expression, he tentatively asked, "Did you see clearly?"

"I couldn't see him clearly because his tall bodyguards blocked my view. I only saw his profile through a gap."

"So, you didn't see what he looked like."

Lu Ning shook her head, then suddenly noticed his clothes: "But the clothes you're wearing are a bit similar in color to what the young master of the Ji family is wearing."

Ji Chiqian calmly replied, "It's easy to run into someone wearing the same color as a suit."

"That's true, he doesn't look as good as you."

The man's eyes crinkled with amusement: "Is this a compliment? But you've never even met him."

"There's nothing to see. Someone of his status and position must have a very rich private life. He might even have illegitimate children."

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, he flicked her forehead.

Ji Chiqian's gaze was meaningful: "Do you know him well? You even know about his private life!"

"I'm guessing. Anyway, the wealthier the second and third generations are, the more extravagant they tend to be."

Lu Ning's family was well-off from a young age, and their family background was considered one of the best in City A. Therefore, she had seen the lives of those rich second-generation people before.

For a moment, Ji Chiqian didn't know how to explain it.

Lu Ning suddenly looked around: "Have you noticed how quiet it is around here? I don't see a single person?"

Ji Chiqian asked calmly, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry. Let's go. I guess the young master of the Ji family has cleared this place out. Let's not get in the way."

Ji Chiqian glanced at her: "How's it going in the new house?"

"It's alright. How about we go home for dinner? I can also show you around my new house."

"can."

Ji Chiqian was still thinking about how to prevent being seen by acquaintances, and going to her newly bought house was the safest option.

He doesn't really want Lu Ning to know who he is right now!

The two took the elevator downstairs together. Just as they reached the restaurant, a middle-aged man suddenly approached them and said, "Mr. Ji, it's been a long time!"

Lu Ning looked over in surprise. What did this person call Ji Chiqian?

Mr. Ji?
