Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian in front of her. Otherwise, how could he have appeared here by such a coincidence?

That just ruined her plans.

Ji Chiqian snatched the gun from Lu Ning's hand, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her out of the room.

Lu Ning left with Ji Chiqian, her face expressionless.

Ji Chiqian looked at the people outside and said, "Go and clean it up."

Lu Ning looked at those people: "What are you dealing with?"

"Dispose of the evidence you leave behind, lest it turn into a bullet that pierces yourself."

The man's voice was very cold, with a hint of anger.

Lu Ning didn't say anything and followed him away from the place.

After getting into the car, Lu Ning looked at the man beside her and said, "You still haven't answered my question? Were you following me?"

"You're overthinking it. I was just passing by."

Ji Chiqian's expression was somewhat unnatural as he looked at Lu Ning: "So the child's father is Gu Zhentian?"

"Can you please stop saying such disgusting things? I would never have a child with an old man like that."

Lu Ning looked disgusted.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Then why did you do that? There must be a reason. What exactly happened to you five years ago?"

"It's none of your business."

Lu Ning put the gun away: "Mr. Ji, could you please stop being so curious about my affairs in the future?"

"If it weren't for Xiao Xingyue, do you think I would care whether you live or die?"

Ji Chiqian stared at her: "If you want to deal with Gu Zhentian, then I can help you. All you have to do is get rid of him, right?"

Lu Ning sneered, "No, he isn't."

"Then who is he?"

"accomplice!"

Lu Ning gritted her teeth; she would never let the Gu family off the hook.

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips: "Besides the Gu family, who else?"

Lu Ning already knew that the Ji family would definitely protect the child and would not let the child suffer any harm.

But Lu Ning still chose not to say anything.

This shows that Lu Ning is wary of something.

So it really is related to the Ji family?

Ji Chiqian rubbed his temples: "You yourself said that time is running out. What exactly do you want me to do for you to believe me?"

"Not yet."

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "But there's one thing: if I fail in the end, then I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child."

With the Ji family involved, even if they eventually find out the child is Gu Zifeng's, the Ji family can still protect the child.

After thinking about this, her expression towards Ji Chiqian became much friendlier.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Just say what you want to say, don't look at me like that."

"It's nothing. In the end, you won't abandon the child anyway. I don't need to say anything more."

Lu Ning was very reassured about this.

Ji Chiqian felt like he was being taken advantage of, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he really couldn't just ignore the child.

He said helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you. Who exactly is that person? Is it really that hard for you to say?"

"That's right, at least for now, I can't say it out loud."

Lu Ning was preoccupied with worries. Ever since she received the call from her third brother, she had been somewhat anxious.

So after witnessing Gu Zhentian's behavior that night, she really couldn't tolerate it anymore.

I've really reached my limit.

Ji Chiqian couldn't understand what this woman was trying to do, but based on her behavior, he guessed that the man's identity was probably not simple.

And it's also related to the Gu family.

If it were the Jimo from five years ago, that would be unlikely.

Unless Ji Mo and Gu Zhentian have some connection.

Ji Chiqian felt he should investigate this matter; perhaps then he would find out the truth.

He did not pursue the question further.

After the vehicle returned to the Ji family's old residence, Lu Ning got out and left.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Go check if Ji Mo and Gu Zhentian had any interaction five years ago."

At least we're getting closer to the truth now.

Ji Chiqian thought of Lu Ning's phone call, which mentioned his third brother.

This easily reminded him of another person who ranked third.

He was also the man he wanted to kill.

-

Lu Ning returned to her room and saw that her daughter was already asleep, holding a five-pointed star in her hand.

I probably wanted to show it to her, but I fell asleep while waiting.

Lu Ning touched her daughter's forehead; she would never let her daughter live the life she had before.

After she finished washing up, she went to the balcony alone.

She looked at the night sky outside, and then her phone rang.

She answered the phone: "Is that old bastard dead or alive?"

"He's not dead yet; he's in the hospital receiving emergency treatment."

"Tsk, what a pity. That old bastard will definitely not let this go, so we should strike first. Since that old bastard has harmed so many people, let's make sure he can't harm anyone else for the rest of his life."

Lu Ning spoke these words with an icy tone.

“Understood. The drinks we gave him before will also be effective.”

Lu Ning leaned on the railing: "Hmm, I almost forgot about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Let's begin. I'm going to make the rest of the Gu family live in regret and fear."

She was determined to make the Gu family pay the price, at least until her third brother found out.

Five years ago, the Gu family drove her and her child to the brink of despair.

She will surely pay back a hundredfold for the suffering she has endured over the years.

-

The next day, Lu Ning got up as if nothing had happened and took the little cutie out of bed as usual.

Looking at Lu Ning's calm demeanor, Ji Chiqian suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This woman almost killed someone last night.

This morning he acted like he hadn't done anything.

What exactly is this woman planning?

After watching the little cutie get into the car, Lu Ning turned to Ji Chiqian and said, "Mr. Ji, can I hitch a ride?"

Ji Chiqian didn't say anything; he bent down and got into the car.

Lu Ning got into the car and hummed a song in a good mood.

Ji Chiqian couldn't stand her relaxed attitude: "Hey, do you even know how much trouble you caused last night?"

"I know, with you here, what do I have to worry about?"

Ji Chiqian felt even angrier after hearing this.

He said, "If you want me to resolve this matter, you have to listen to me obediently for the time being, don't cause trouble anywhere, and don't wander around, lest something bad happens."

"Something happened? Don't worry. That old bastard is still lying in the hospital half-dead. Even if he survives, he'll be crippled."

Lu Ning's tone was very calm.

Ji Chiqian looked at her and said, "You're dreaming. It's just a gunshot wound and a broken bone. You won't be crippled for the rest of your life."

At this point, Ji Chiqian paused for a moment: "What else did you do?"

"secret!"

Lu Ning smiled and turned her head to look out the car window.

Ji Chiqian clicked his tongue; none of them could give him a moment's peace.

He asked with a hint of helplessness, "Where are you planning to go now?"

"Of course I'm going to work, since the project collaboration isn't over yet."

Ji Chiqian hesitated, then said, "You still dare to go to the Gu Group? Are you out of your mind?"
