Chapter 316 Assassination

Bring other trouble…

The words keep lingering in Xia Ning’s brain. Till Mei Ruo calls her again, Xia Ning is back to consciousness. “The money was remitted into my account. If a trial is necessary, it should be against me. Why do they take Rui…”

“They checked that in the asset review procedure. You didn’t touch the money in your account at all, which led to more suspicion of Yunrui. Ah. I may stop here. I am not allowed to tell much. Yunrui was told to go for the trial just now. He is going back. I will inform you if I get any news. Bye!”

Mei Ruo hangs up her phone.

Yi Yunrui…is on a public trial…

Xia Ning stands there blankly. The whole world turns silent.

She doesn’t know how long she keeps standing there. Till her phone rings again, Xia Ning is drawn back to consciousness.

It is Gu Luan calling.

Xia Ning takes up the phone to answer, while she suddenly finds tears flowing on her cheeks. She feels shocked.

She sniffs and wipes the tears on her face. She takes some deep breaths and turns around to go back to them.

Gu Luan and Davis are back, with someone together. That is Lei Buyang.

Gu Luan is the first person to be aware of the uneasiness on Xia Ning’s face. He asks, “Ning, what happens? Don’t you feel well?”

Xia Ning shakes her head, “No, just the wind blows some sand into my eyes.”

Gu Luan frowns. He doesn’t ask further. He knows that Xia Ning is hiding something.

“Hey, Ning, we meet again.” Lei Buyang put on a very bright smile.

“Hello, President Lei.” Xia Ning reluctantly puts on a mild smile.

Lei Buyang hesitates. He shrugs his shoulders, “It sounds like the greeting from a stranger. Ning, don’t speak so politely. Will you?”

“Oh…Sorry. President Lei, I will pay attention to that next time.”

Davis can’t help bursting into laughter, “President Lei, I now see someone really ‘respect’ you.”

Lei Buyang twitches his eyebrows, “What do you mean? It sounds that people around me are all insincere.”

“Hum. They are normally insincere, except us.”

Then, Lei Buyang and Davis start the arguing. One of them is over thirty years old, while the other is over twenty. However, like two never grown-up kids, they talk nonsense and argue irrationally.

Apparently, Gu Luan is attracted by their arguing, but he always pays attention to Xia Ning. Xia Ning looks upset. She absent-mindedly eats the cake in front of her. Gu Luan feels very worried. But there are some other people here. He feels inconvenient to ask her.

Wan Liqing notices that. She is so angry that her eyes seem to give out of flames. She grits her teeth and says suddenly, “Luan, did you say that you would take us to have some fun? I have a big cup of ice cream and enough rest here. Where is the next stop?”

Gu Luan thinks for a while. He turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, where do you want to go for fun? Do you want to find someplace to relax your body? A Spa?”

“You may ask other people for suggestions. I am fine with any decisions.” What she wants most now is to go to Yi Yunrui to take all the charges for him.

Gu Luan glances at people around. Lei Buyang and Davis give no comments. Leng Weiwei says that everything is fine. Wan Liqing responds, “Then, we may go to a spa. Women like it for beauty care and men like it for relaxation. Let’s do it.”

Gu Luan looks at Xia Ning. Xia Ning nods.

The car is waiting in front of the mall. They chat and laugh while walking out.

“If it is Master Gu’s treat, I want to go to the most expensive one. Service quality is not the priority for consideration. Anyway, I want to have the most expensive!” Davis says undoubtedly.

“Hum. I agree with our foreign friend.” This time, Lei Buyang takes the side of Davis.

Gu Luan feels helpless. They are his friends, though some undesirable ones. He has to accept.

“Ning, you seldom go to a spa, don’t you? SPD is promoting the Moonlight Treatment. It is good. You may try.”

Xia Ning nods.

They get in the car one by one. Gu Luan gently waits behind, while Wan Liqing stands behind him. Xia Ning sits in the middle of the car and Lei Buyang sits beside her with a naughty smile.

Xia Ning gives a sigh in her heart. Currently, she is really in a bad mood.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a cry is heard and everyone tightens their nerves.

It is Wan Liqing crying. Gu Luan, who stands by her, is bleeding in his chest and the blood colors his shirt!

Gu Luan looks at the wound on his chest unbelievably!

Everyone is shocked. Gu Luan is shot by a gun!

“Liqing…get in the car…” Gu Luan has not finished his words when he throws up a mouthful of blood. Wan Liqing turns pale at once.

“Luan, how are you?” Wan Liqing feels her heart broken. She holds Gu Luan and tries all her strength to pull him into the car.

Davis cries, “Start the car! Go to Elisabeth Hospital, now!”

Gu Luan is injured. The bullet is obviously from a hiding place. This is totally an assassination!

The driver is scared to sweat. He hears Davis’s words. He presses the accelerator and the car roars away.

“Luan…you will be fine. You will be fine…” Wan Liqing sees blood flow out of Gu Luan’s chest. She turns pale. She holds Gu Luan tightly. Her beautiful shirt is colored by blood.

“Miss, excuse me.” Davis cries.

Wan Liqing stares at him blankly, “Luan is shot. Don’t move him carelessly…”

“Get away!” Davis loses his patience. He pushes Wan Liqing away. This foolish woman is really stupid and annoying!

Wan Liqing is pushed aside. She wants to scold Davis. However, she sees him take out a first-aid kit and practically treat the wound for Gu Luan.

Wan Liqing closes her mouth.

“Leon, is Luan injured very seriously?” Xia Ning was silent to avoid disturbing Davis. After Davis has finished briefly treating the wound for Gu Luan, she asks.

“The bullet is very close to his heart. If we go to the hospital now, he should be OK…”

“Bang!”

Davis has not finished his words when there is a loud bang, followed by a fierce crash. The car is hit to fall on one side and people inside cry in scare…

When Xia Ning collapses, she sees Lei Buyang protect her in front. The car slips quite some distance before it stops. Because of the shock, Xia Ning’s back side of head hit the door. When the car stops, she finds herself thrown out of it. Lei Buyang is holding her tightly.

She gradually loses her consciousness and falls into a coma. At that instant, a voice echoes in her brain.

She can’t die. She is unwilling to leave Yi Yunrui…

It is in the Mayor’s office.

“Hello, Section Chief Li, how is everything going on?” Yin Tianyang sees the number and feels glad. Based on the ability of Section Chief Li, the small case must have been finished.

As long as Xia Ning doesn’t stay at World Era Weekly, she will lose the support of Gu Luan. Then, it will be easier for Yin Tianyang to get rid of her.

“Mayor Yin, it is tough. What kind of people do you offend? To be honest, I really can’t help you. I have just received a call from the management and I was told to have a vacation. Now, I can’t even protect myself.”

Yi Tianyang is shocked blankly!

The management told Section Chief Li to have a vacation. It means that he is suspended from his duty!

Well. Yi Yunrui is in Beijing. Normally speaking, Gu Luan alone can’t result in any actions from the management. Can Gu Luan ask for help from his father?

It doesn’t look like that. If the senior Mr. Gu really had interfered, Yin Tianyang would have received some information in advance!

Now, nothing is heard from the management. Can anything happen to his people?

Or, are there any other people secretly protecting Xia Ning?

“Section Chief Li, let’s simply go to the point. Don’t you have any other solutions? You know the consequences!”

Section Chief Li feels his heart tightened!

Yin Tianyang had got something of him. Or, he would never get involved in the Xia Ning issue!

Xia Ning is the wife of Commander Yi!

Military and government are always separated. He went against Xia Ning. That meant he was directly going against Yi Yunrui. That was a tough thing. He might lose his job because of it.

Now, well. He is really going to lose his job.

He surely knows that Yi Yunrui is far away in Beijing. Yin Tianyang launches the attack. However, it seems that besides Yi Yunrui, there are some other people in the management protecting Xia Ning!

God. What a case he gets involved in!

He has been in the official circle for many years. He is clear that suspension of duty is just a warning. If he doesn’t stop, there seems to be an overall conclusion coming to him. At that time, even Yin Tianyang does nothing to him, Section Chief Li will be killed by someone else.

“Yin Tianyang, I suggest you stop, too. This case is beyond the abilities of you and me to get rid of. You have got something of me and I still say the same. It doesn’t matter that we lose our official identities. We have to be careful with our lives. Well. I may stop here. Bye.”

Section Chief Li hangs up.

Yin Tianyang is shocked!

Section Chief Li, who pays more attention to his official job than his life, says such words to him!

If he hadn’t heard it by himself, Yin Tianyang would have never believed that!

Yin Tianyang blinks his eyes and drops his phone forcefully onto the desk.

Hum. It has been tens of years. Many people tried to put him down. In the end, all of them failed and were ruined instead!

Yin Tianyang has got his hand wetted with a lot of blood!

He can’t make use of Section Chief Li any longer. He still has a lot of plans!

Yi Yunrui is an army commander. Yin Tianyang still succeeded in putting him into the headquarters of the Central Army Department for a public trial!

Xia Ning is a woman. What is the difficulty in getting rid of her?

Yin Tianyang’s eyes gleam evilly. He has thought of another vicious plan.

Xia Ning doesn’t know how long she was in a coma. When she wakes up, she sees a man in army clothes sitting by her.

Xia Ning gets awake. She neglects the pain in her body and cries in surprise, “Rui, you come back?”

The man is shocked. He turns around and stands in attention to politely salute Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, I am Huang Qizhong, the regimental commander of Chemical Prevention Regiment. You made a mistake. Commander Yi is still in Beijing. I am sorry for that.”

Huang Qizhong…

Xia Ning is stunned.

Huang Qizhong is aware of Xia Ning’s disappointment. He comes to her, “Mrs. Yi, you were thrown out of the car and your arms were slightly scratched. You were in a coma for a whole day and night. If you want to eat, I may call the doctor to send you some nutritious food.
