Chapter 3 The Master Behind It
The man's name was Shen Jingnian.
He was the ninth son in the Shen family and was known as Ninth Master Shen.
When the old master and old lady of the Shen family were forty-five years old, they had him unexpectedly. Because he was their late-life child, he was extremely doted on. In addition, Shen Jingnian was ruthless and had already made a name for himself in the business world at the age of eighteen. Now, at only thirty years old, he already stands at the top of the conglomerate world and is an undisputed big boss. Moreover, he used to be a peacekeeping officer and had the blood of invaders on his hands, so he always had an indelible aura of menace on him, and very few people could meet his gaze.
Jiang Ning is the first!
"Uncle!"
Yun Haotian caught up from behind and overheard Jiang Ning's evaluation of Shen Jingnian.
He was completely dumbfounded!
Master Shen, who has always held a high position, is always the best at everything he does.
Over the years, I've grown accustomed to the flattery and sycophancy of others.
Even Yun Haotian, who was always by Shen Jingnian's side, had to endure countless flatteries every day.
This was the first time Yun Haotian had ever heard someone praise his uncle as merely "okay."
Yun Haotian was very curious about what the other person looked like, but it was dark and Jiang Ning was wearing a baseball cap, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
Diwu-
Beep!
At the same time, the sound of urgent police sirens suddenly filled the air.
A group of police officers got out of the car, and the thugs who had been beaten black and blue were all taken into the police car.
As eyewitnesses, Jiang Ning, Shen Jingnian, and Yun Haotian naturally had to go to the police station to give statements.
Jiang Ning accompanied the short-haired victim into the back of the police car.
The short-haired girl was quite frightened. After getting into the car, she still clung tightly to Jiang Ning. Even with the policewoman comforting her, she refused to let go, clearly regarding Jiang Ning as the person she trusted most.
About ten minutes later, we arrived at the nearest police station.
It was only after arriving at the police station that Jiang Ning learned that the girl's name was Yue Qianlan, she was only eighteen years old and had just started her senior year of high school. She had come out tonight to help her best friend, who had just had a fight with her parents, clear her head. She never expected that her best friend would run away after encountering danger, without even calling the police.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly. "Little sister, you actually make friends with this kind of ghost?"
Yue Qianlan's voice was hoarse, "I didn't know she would do this..."
“You learn from your mistakes,” Jiang Ning patted Yue Qianlan on the shoulder. “Remember to stay away from these kinds of evil spirits in the future, otherwise it will affect your luck over time.”
“Okay.” Yue Qianlan nodded. “I’ll break up with her as soon as I get back! Thank you so much for tonight. If it weren’t for you, I might have…” Yue Qianlan’s eyes reddened again as she finished speaking.
No one knows how scared Yue Qianlan was at that time.
Almost, just a little bit.
If Jiang Ning hadn't appeared in time, she might have already been violated by that group of thugs.
Perhaps due to the shock, Yue Qianlan fell asleep on the table after giving her statement.
Jiang Ning carefully withdrew her hand from the one being held, told the police officer what she was doing, and then prepared to leave.
It's too late!
She needs to get home as soon as possible.
Just as she stepped out of the office, a policewoman followed her out. "Ms. Jiang, the victim's parents just called and said they'll be there soon to thank you in person. Would you like to wait a little longer?"
"No need," Jiang Ning politely declined.
Saving people was just her instinct.
Now that the statement has been taken, there's no need to wait here and expect the parents to be grateful to her.
The policewoman watched Jiang Ning's retreating figure, her eyes filled with an indescribable expression.
If she hadn't seen Jiang Ning's ID card, she would never have believed that the girl in front of her was only 19 years old, just one year older than Yue Qianlan.
She remained calm in the face of adversity, possessed high combat skills, and had no vanity. Even after defeating a group of thugs and saving Yue Qianlan late at night, she did not become complacent.
Even if someone else wasn't overjoyed, they would still feel smug.
But Jiang Ning did not.
She remained calm throughout.
The policewoman had worked at the police station for many years, but this was the first time she had met such a special girl.
Jiang Ning turned a corner and ran into Shen Jingnian and Yun Haotian, who were also walking out of another door at that moment.
The three met face to face.
Yun Haotian then saw Jiang Ning's features clearly, or rather, her heavily made-up features, and asked incredulously, "You, you are Jiang Ning?"
"It's me. What can I do for you?" Jiang Ning asked in a calm tone.
Cheng Zijun is a rising star in the financial world, a rare find among the elite. Without him, the Cheng Group would not have been able to turn the tide in such a short time. Naturally, the emotional state of such a successful man is also of great interest.
Not long ago, a reporter secretly photographed Cheng Zijun and Jiang Ning attending Mr. Cheng's funeral together.
Once Mrs. Cheng's true appearance was revealed, it sparked countless discussions and regrets. Some people even dug up Mrs. Cheng's background overnight. After learning that Jiang Ning was just a village girl who hadn't even finished high school, everyone sighed even more.
A man like Cheng Zijun should marry a wealthy heiress of equal status; a country girl like Jiang Ning is simply not good enough for him!
Yun Haotian also met Jiang Ning once when he attended Grandpa Cheng's funeral.
Jiang Ning back then is very different from Jiang Ning now. Although they both wear heavy makeup, they feel completely different.
Yun Haotian swallowed hard. "It's nothing, I, I'm just a little surprised."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything more and turned to walk outside.
Yun Haotian also got into the car with Shen Jingnian.
Only after getting into the driver's seat did Yun Hao speak again, "My God! That person just now was actually Jiang Ning!"
"You know each other?" Shen Jingnian asked casually from the back seat.
Yun Haotian was stunned for a moment before realizing that his uncle was talking about Jiang Ning. He nodded and said, "I know her! Her name is Jiang Ning, and she is the wife of Cheng Zijun, the new CEO of Cheng's Group."
After saying that, Yun Haotian added another sentence.
"However, the two are too far apart in status, so Cheng Zijun has officially filed for divorce from her!"
"Jiang Ning?" Shen Jingnian gently turned the silver ring on his index finger, and then, as if he had thought of something, his thin lips curled up slightly. "Interesting."
Upon hearing this, Yun Haotian was completely bewildered.
???
interesting?
What's the point?
Was he hallucinating?
My uncle is a man of few desires and would never even glance at the most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry throwing herself at him. So why would he suddenly become interested in a divorced woman?
You misheard.
Correct!
He must have misheard!
Just as Yun Haotian was questioning his life, Shen Jingnian spoke up again, "I remember that the proposal submitted by Cheng's Group this time was outstanding."
Yun Haotian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, Cheng's plan this time is really impressive! You even praised it during the meeting the other day. That plan is not only very creative, but it also caters to the ideas of contemporary young people and incorporates some of our traditional Chinese culture. Cheng Zijun truly deserves the saying 'the younger generation is to be feared.' If it weren't for him, Cheng's Group would probably have declared bankruptcy long ago!"
It was thought that the Cheng Group would be in dire straits and gradually decline after encountering a crisis.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zijun emerged as a dark horse.
He single-handedly pulled the city back from the brink of death.
He not only brought the Cheng Group back to its former glory, but also elevated it to new heights.
Industry insiders are speculating that the future of the Cheng Group is limitless!
Therefore, many investment banking heavyweights have placed their bets on the Cheng Group.
They were hoping that Cheng Zijun could lead them to the top.
Shen Jingnian narrowed his phoenix eyes, revealing his thoughts, but his thin lips parted slightly, "If Cheng Zijun is really that capable and can lead the Cheng Group out of its predicament, then he wouldn't have been so mediocre during his many years at the Cheng Group."
"So, Uncle, you suspect that someone else came up with the plan!" Yun Haotian keenly sensed the abnormality in Shen Jingnian's words.
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
If Cheng Zijun truly possessed such great talent, the Cheng Group would have already gone international!
Yun Haotian narrowed his eyes. "But who would willingly hide behind Cheng Zijun and do these things in Cheng Zijun's name?"
The Cheng Group's latest proposal has been well received.
Estimated value: over ten million!
Surely no fool would secretly work behind the scenes in anonymity?
Moreover, Cheng Zijun was born into a wealthy and influential family, and his grandfather was once a prominent figure in the industry.
It's quite normal for the Cheng family's descendants to surpass their parents.
Thinking of this, Yun Haotian continued, "Uncle, could it be that you're overthinking it?"
Although Shen Jingnian is very capable, he is not so capable that he can judge what kind of person Cheng Zijun is just by looking at him once!
Just as Yun Haotian was about to say something, a deep male voice came from inside the carriage again, "Investigate. You must find out who the mastermind behind Cheng Zijun is."
