After Lu Ning finished speaking, Su Jingbai suddenly sped up.

Lu Ning looked over in surprise: "What's going on?"

"Someone is following us, and they're probably up to no good. Let's shake them off first."

Lu Ning was completely disoriented after being dumped.

She felt a little dizzy: "What kind of car is following us?"

Could it be Ji Chiqian? If it is, there's no need to shake him off.

Su Jingbai said casually, "A beat-up car."

Lu Ning could only hold on tight and wait for Su Jingbai to shake her off.

Before long, Su Jingbai's car speed stabilized: "Finally, we've shaken him off. It seems he usually has a chauffeur driving, and his own driving skills aren't that great."

Lu Ning looked over: "You know him?"

Su Jingbai was so happy that he realized he had let something slip: "Well, you guessed right, the thing is hidden in the safe at the bathhouse."

"It seems that person is a regular at the bathhouse."

Hidden in that place, it certainly didn't attract much attention.

Not long after, the vehicle stopped outside the bathhouse.

After getting out of the car, Lu Ning leaned on the car for a while to catch her breath, as she felt a little dizzy.

"Have some water, Miss Lu. Why didn't you mention you get carsick?"

Lu Ning took a little water and drank it, which made her feel much better.

She said, "I'm not sure either, but I've never been prone to motion sickness before."

At least when I ride in Ji Chiqian's car, I don't get carsick.

Su Jingbai's driving habits are similar to his personality; he has a strong character.

But Ji Chiqian is different; he always drives very carefully.

Lu Ning thought that the person who had followed them must have been Ji Chiqian, otherwise Su Jingbai wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But is Ji Chiqian really that easy to dump?

After all, Su Jingbai always had a cold face when dealing with the Lu family and never paid them any attention.

Lu Ning didn't think much of it and followed Su Jingbai into the bathhouse.

The decor here is very down-to-earth.

Su Jingbai glanced disdainfully at the tacky decor and went straight to the front desk: "Where is Mr. Qin's private safe, number 38?"

The receptionist looked somewhat surprised: "May I ask who you are?"

"I am a lawyer, and I have been hired to retrieve the contents of the safe."

When the receptionist heard the word "lawyer," she immediately became more alert and called the manager over.

After listening, the manager looked at Su Jingbai and said, "Mr. Qin hasn't been here for a while. Why would you send a lawyer to pick up something?"

"He went in, so I'm here to get it. Is there a problem?"

Su Jingbai's attitude was extremely arrogant.

Lu Ning walked over to the manager and said, "That's right, we know the password too. This is Attorney Su's business card. If you have any questions later, you can go to the police station to ask."

The manager actually knew that Boss Qin had gotten into trouble, since he hadn't been here for so long. When his colleagues from the 4S store came for massages, they mentioned that Boss Qin had committed a crime and been arrested.

But Qin's private safe hadn't expired yet, so no one touched it.

But to my surprise, a lawyer came knocking on my door.

The manager was still a little hesitant: "But he didn't say anything."

Lu Ning simply handed over a piece of brown paper: "Please be lenient, we were also entrusted to come. He's already inside, so he won't have a chance to come out anyway."

The manager squeezed the thickness of the kraft paper, and his attitude immediately improved: "In that case, please follow me."

The manager led the way.

Su Jingbai glanced at Lu Ning, a hint of incomprehension in his eyes: "Do you know what you call this behavior?"

"What I call doing things convenient for others is doing things convenient for myself."

Lu Ning glanced at Su Jingbai: "Is Attorney Su really that upright?"

Su Jingbai paused for a moment: "I just feel that there's no need to spend money here."

"As long as we can successfully obtain the evidence, this amount of money is nothing."

Lu Ning was just too eager to get the evidence and make the Mo family pay the price for this. What was a little money compared to that?

The two went to the men's changing room together, where the private safe number 38 looked quite ordinary.

After opening the safe, there was only a piece of clothing and a cup inside, but no USB drive.

Lu Ning took out the clothes and cup and looked for them, but they were indeed not there.

Su Jingbai was somewhat surprised: "That shouldn't be the case. Boss Qin did say that the USB drive was in here."

"Is he lying again to stall for time?"

"It's unlikely. Could someone have taken it?"

Lu Ning looked at the manager and asked, "Has anyone else opened this safe?"

The manager said, somewhat puzzled, "I don't know either. Why don't we check the surveillance footage?"

Just then, a cleaning staff member walked over and said, "I saw someone open this box here just now."

Lu Ning looked at the cleaning lady and asked, "When? What were they wearing? Did you even get a good look at what they looked like?"

"Just now, he was wearing a very ordinary gray sports jacket and a hat, so I couldn't see what his face looked like."

After hearing this, Lu Ning turned around and ran out.

She looked at Su Jingbai: "Let's split up and search."

Su Jingbai nodded and went in the opposite direction with Lu Ning.

Lu Ning rushed out of the main gate and saw the man wearing a hat and a gray sports jacket.

She said directly, "Stop and hand over the USB drive."

As soon as she said that, the man turned and ran.

Lu Ning wasn't sure if this was the person, but since the other person ran away feeling guilty, it must have been this person who took the USB drive.

Who will get there before her?

Lu Ning's mind was a bit of a mess; she felt like something wasn't quite right, but she didn't have time to think about it now. She just needed to catch that man first.

Lu Ning ran out of the bathhouse and chased after the person on the street.

But the man clearly knew the place well and darted into the alley. Lu Ning followed him without thinking.

Lu Ning relentlessly pursued the man until she cornered him in a dead-end alley before finally stopping.

The other person was wearing a mask and a hat, took out a fruit knife, and said menacingly, "If you come any closer, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lu Ning rolled up her sleeves: "Who sent you to get this USB drive?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Lu Ning stepped forward and kicked the knife out of the other person's hand, then delivered an uppercut, knocking the person to the ground.

Lu Ning stepped on the man's back and grabbed his arm: "Where's the USB drive?"

She gradually tightened her grip, and the man screamed, "It's...it's in my pocket."

Lu Ning felt in her pocket and found the USB drive.

She looked at the man: "Who sent you? Tell me!"

Before the other person could answer, Lu Ning saw several more men arrive behind her, all of them with tattoos, and they didn't look like good people.

The man lying on the ground cried out for help: "Boss, save me!"

Lu Ning stood up and looked at the group of people: "How much did the people who bribed you pay you? I'll pay you double. Tell me, who sent you here?"

The leader spat and said, "In our line of work, we follow the rules. Brothers, get the USB drive back and teach this woman a lesson!"

Lu Ning looked at the group of people in front of her, who were holding weapons.

She stared intently at these people, determined not to hand over the USB drive, even if it cost her her life.

A tall figure appeared behind the group.

The man's voice was cold: "Hey, your opponent is here."
