Chapter 500: Chapter 403: Qi Chen Has Arrived (Two in One)_2

His gaze swept Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou up and down several times, "What’s the situation now? What just happened, you two weren’t scared, were you?"

"No worries, the police are here, investigating the surveillance footage inside," Jiang Ning replied, her expression relaxed.

In contrast, Qi Xingzhou, who had managed to maintain a steady composure at the sight of the blood and flesh in the foam box twice before, now looked pale as if startled, clearly trying to show his older brother how serious the situation was.

However... Qi Chen’s attention wasn’t on him. After ensuring his younger brother was unhurt, Qi Chen’s concern was entirely with Jiang Ning, "Such an incident definitely suggests premeditation, likely by someone with a strong dislike or hostility towards you. Have you made any enemies recently?"

Jiang Ning shook her head. Bi Xiangwei had just asked her the same question, and she initially wanted to reply with the same answer. However, just as the words were about to leave her throat, something seemed to dawn on her, her expression growing solemn, "I shouldn’t have any in my personal life, but recently, I’ve arrested quite a few criminals. If it’s their family or friends... then that’s a different story."

After finishing her statement, she observed Qi Chen’s expression intently, waiting for his response.

She had initially decided not to discuss such baseless suspicions. After all, without any evidence or clues, everything depended on her conjecture.

But she suddenly remembered the times she had arrested criminals; she was often accompanied by Qi Xingzhou. Although she found it odd that whenever together, it was always she who ended up trending on social media. Qi Xingzhou seemed to possess an invisible quality that often made people overlook his presence.

Others might overlook Qi Xingzhou, but that didn’t mean the Qi family members would. Regarding Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou repeatedly trending on social media, they were definitely well aware.

Jiang Ning had never formally brought up these matters in front of the Qi family members; she wanted to see what their stance was on the subject.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Qi Chen’s usually indifferent face slightly furrowed his brow. He nodded and awkwardly comforted Jiang Ning, "You’re doing the right thing; it’s those who break the law that are in the wrong. You’ve done well."

With his assurance, Jiang Ning finally felt at ease.

If the Qi family had any objections, even if it were understandable, Jiang Ning wouldn’t succumb to mistreatment.

Upon learning the police were searching for the suspect via surveillance in the security room, Qi Chen stepped aside and took out his phone to make a call. Moments later, the visibly distraught property manager from the residential complex where they were assisting the police emerged and warmly invited Jiang Ning and the other two to come and sit inside.

Jiang Ning glanced at Qi Chen with a meaningful look.

Indeed, a businessman is always a businessman. No matter how much they present themselves as cold and aloof, certain inherent qualities remain unchanged.

They followed him inside without saying a word.

The surveillance room was peaceful.

On the other hand, Huo Company was far from tranquil.

Jiang Ning had gracefully ended her broadcast, but the few sentences she left behind, any of which taken out of context, spelled turmoil for Huo Company!

Huo Company’s customer service hotline was once again bombarded by netizens.

The customer service ladies were close to breaking down from taking calls.

Distinct from the concerned inquiries from that morning, in just a few hours, the netizens’ attitude towards Huo’s changed from uncertainty to mockery.

With just a few sentences, Jiang Ning had exposed Huo’s attempt to exploit her goodwill to salvage the company’s reputation.

She successfully converted the netizens’ slight dislike of Huo’s into complete disdain!

The deception by Huo family members, who had favored the false heiress Huo Miao over addressing any attention to Jiang Ning and maligned her, had already opened netizens’ eyes.

The result was two months of netizen backlash, but instead of realizing their wrongdoings, they even tried to deceive everyone!

Despicable!

This kind of company should just go bankrupt sooner rather than later!

While everyone was busy expressing their anger towards Huo’s, they also didn’t forget about Liu Zhaodi’s situation.

After repeated mentions by netizens to the Capital City police, the police finally responded to the matter regarding Liu Zhaodi, confirming the authenticity of Jiang Ning’s broadcast, and that He Cuihua and Li Qiufeng had been detained, pending further investigation.

As for the parentage verification, which the netizens were most concerned about, the Capital City police, with Liu Zhaodi’s consent, reported the latest updates: blood samples were taken ten minutes earlier, and the lab results were expected within 48 hours.
