Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

The servants were startled by Lu Mingjin's demeanor and quickly tried to calm her down.

"Young Master, those messages online are all fake. Please don't believe them."

"How about we play a game with you? We'll go invite Miss Ning Yan; don't you usually enjoy playing with her the most?"

Normally, Lu Mingjin didn't seem to care much about Ning Yao, so even if Ning Yao were to get into trouble now, the servants weren't too upset.

Lu Mingjin became increasingly distressed, large tears rolled down her cheeks, and her small shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

My aunt is my aunt, and my mother is my mother. How can they be the same?

My aunt's stories weren't as engaging as my mother's, and her soups weren't as delicious as my mother's.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have chosen his aunt in the first place.

If something really happens to Ning Yao, he will never have a mother again.

Ignoring the servants' attempts to dissuade her, Lu Mingjin rushed out of the room, intending to find Ning Yao, but her small frame bumped into Lu Jingmo's knee, who had just returned.

Boom!

Lu Mingjin stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Wow!"

Before she could even see who it was, Lu Mingjin could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The servants looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.

Lu Jingmo silently looked at Lu Mingjin, then finally sighed and picked him up.

Why are you crying like this?

Lu Mingjin clung tightly to Lu Jingmo's arm, her large, watery eyes bloodshot.

"Dad, Mom is going to jail! I don't want Mom to go to jail! Dad, please save Mom!"

A heavy look appeared between Lu Jingmo's brows.

The news was causing quite a stir online, and he naturally saw it too. When he returned, he had already instructed the public relations department to handle it, but there was still the matter with Ning Yao…

Ning Yao has been taken away by the police. Only by finding evidence can this matter be turned around.

Lu Jingmo put Lu Mingjin down and said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Mingjin, Dad will handle this. You go back to your room and rest. Dad will let you know as soon as Mom is alright."

Lu Mingjin sobbed a few times, wiped away the tears on her tender cheeks with her small hands, nodded, and returned to her room accompanied by the maid.

Before long, Yang Qian rushed over to report.

"President Lu, we've found out. The person behind the scenes who instructed the designer named Wen An is Ning Jianguo."

Lu Jingmo's cold face suddenly turned frosty.

"The Ning family is becoming increasingly dishonest. Now that we've found out, let's pass the information on to the police."

If Ning Yao comes back soon, Ming Jin can rest easy, and so can he...

Lu Jingmo's thin lips tightened into an unnatural curve, and his lowered eyelids revealed a deliberate attempt to hide his worry.

His heart no longer needed to be constantly on edge because of Ning Yao.

Yang Qian also noticed Lu Jingmo's concern for Ning Yao and hurried to get things done.

Ning family.

"Mr. Ning, Ning Yao is indeed at the police station, but... she insists on meeting with you, otherwise she will not cooperate with the investigation."

After listening to his secretary's report, Ning Jianguo's expression changed slightly.

Ning Yao has already chosen to sever ties with the Ning family, so why would she suddenly want to see him?

Could it be that she discovered something?

No, Ning Yao was just a garbage collector before she returned to the Ning family; she couldn't possibly be that smart.

"Mr. Ning, would you like to come over? If so, I'll arrange a car right away."

The secretary's reminder brought Ning Jianguo back to reality.

Ning Jianguo pondered for a moment, then finally waved his hand.

"Let's go see what she's really up to!"

Half an hour later, Ning Jianguo arrived at the police station. He originally thought he would see Ning Yao, who had become a "prisoner," but to his surprise, Ning Yao was sitting properly in the meeting room.

She was not only not investigated, but also received preferential treatment from the relevant personnel.

Why did things turn out differently than he expected?

Ning Jianguo had a bad feeling, but he still went in with a heavy heart.

Hearing the noise, Ning Yao cast a faint glance at him, and her words almost stunned Ning Jianguo.

"He's the one who stole my things!"

He came here specifically to see what would happen to Ning Yao for betraying the Ning family, so how did he become a thief?

Ning Jianguo's mind raced, but he couldn't get an answer, so he could only sit down calmly.

"Yaoyao, I'm your father! How dare you call your own father a thief? Have you completely lost your manners?"

The situation is still unclear, and it's best not to let outsiders know that Ning Yao has severed ties with the Ning family.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Ning, there's no need for you to put on airs in front of me. You stole the design drafts from my safe and then turned around and accused Suixing of money laundering. I must say, your scheme this time is quite sophisticated."

Ning Jianguo tapped the table with a gloomy expression, ignoring Ning Yao's words, and asked a question in return.

"What exactly do you want from me? If you want your biological father to testify for you, I can only say that the Ning family would rather not have a daughter like you who has committed a crime."

Ning Yao wasn't in a hurry; she simply exchanged a glance with the police officer beside her.

“My studio lost important design drafts. I have already reported it to the police. I believe you are the one who did this, which is why I asked you to come here. Moreover, I have witnesses.”

Upon hearing the words "witness," a sinister and terrifying glint appeared in Ning Jianguo's eyes.

He did bribe one of the designers at Suixing, but the designer probably wouldn't have the guts to come forward and testify.

After all, the child's life was still in his hands.

Ning Jianguo remained silent with a sullen face, and Ning Yao, not wanting to waste any more time, simply got up.

"Whether you admit it or not, I already took your statement before you came, and the police have sent people to search for evidence. You can't escape."

Ning Yao calmly left under Ning Jianguo's astonished gaze.

After walking only a few steps, Ning Jianguo caught up with them, and the police officer quickly shouted.

"Mr. Ning, please cooperate with our work. You cannot leave until the matter is fully investigated!"

The secretary immediately stopped the police officers, but Ning Jianguo ignored them, walked up to Ning Yao with a livid face, and almost squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"What exactly did you do?!"

From the moment he saw Ning Yao, he felt that things were not simple. Now he realized that he had fallen into Ning Yao's trap.

But his plan would not be easily discovered. How could Ning Yao discover the problem and take countermeasures so quickly?

The incident occurred within an hour of each other!

Ning Yao chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Ning Jianguo.

"I was just playing along. Instead of questioning me, you should think about your own situation."

At this point, Ning Yao deliberately lowered her voice.

"Furthermore, the video evidence of you bribing Suixing employees was given to me by Lu Jingmo. Don't you know who wants the Ning family to fall completely?"

In an instant, Ning Jianguo's eyes widened in disbelief.
