Chapter 1029: Trying to Kill Her Off?

Inviting her to the dinner party was probably for the sake of showing off their lovey-doveyness to her.

Ning Shu’s expression didn’t change as she said, “I’m a bit busy lately. I still have to visit a lot of companies to check their accounts. My life unfortunately isn’t as good as Chairman Chu, to be able to count money while lying down. Chairman Chu, next time make sure to do the accounts properly. If there’s a next time, you might really be sued.”

After Ning Shu said that, she turned and left. What dinner party? Chu Xiaoran was just trying to put on a show of power.

She would rather go fight a free lawsuit over wasting time on something like this. Whatever Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman’s relationship was like, she had no interest, didn’t want to hear about it, didn’t care.

Chu Xiaoran’s expression was dark and his brows were tightly furrowed. His sharp business instincts told him that this inspection had been a sign. Someone was about to attack him?

However, Chu Xiaoran was still confident that no one in T City would be able to touch him.

Even the people above didn’t really dare to touch him because it might cause huge waves in T City’s economy, especially since he monopolized many businesses. It would cause T City’s market to fall into turmoil if only for a short time.

Chu Xiaoran felt even more loathing for this man called Xu Wenlang. It wasn’t only because of Xia Xiaoman now. It was because this man was confronting him with such a strong imposing manner. This man seemed to have some background.

Chu Xiaoran’s brows furrowed. There was a need to make some plans.

During this past period of time, Ning Shu kept feeling like someone was following her. Like someone was watching her.

However, every time she tried to find out what was behind this feeling, that gaze would vanish.

Ning Shu was pretty sure that it was one of Chu Xiaoran’s people. He was trying to kill her off?

Ning Shu felt that sometimes Chu Xiaoran really was overly confident. If she had been an ordinary citizen and was killed off like in the original storyline, then even if there were some ripples, it’d quickly pass.

However, her current social status was no longer the same. She was one of the figures of the government and she was even operating a law firm. If she died, it’d definitely cause a disturbance.

Chu Xiaoran had enjoyed unquestioned authority in T City for too long. He had forgotten who the land he was standing on belonged to.

Ning Shu walked into an alley and waited for the person following her to show himself.

The person following her was a man. This man carried a formidable aura. Based on the way he walked, he seemed to be a discharged soldier.

“Why are you following me?” asked Ning Shu.

The man didn’t speak. He was holding a sharp knife. From the looks of things, he was planning to slit Ning Shu’s throat.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes, then took the initiative to punch the man. This man was probably a special forces soldier that was very skilled in combat. He seemed to look down on Ning Shu and just lifted his hand to catch Ning Shu’s fist, but ended up being forced back several steps by the force of Ning Shu’s punch.

The man’s expression turned serious and he stretched his neck, making a few distinct cracks. “You know how to fight.”

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes, then took the initiative to attack. She clenched her fist to punch the man’s face and with her other hand, took out a spray and sprayed the man’s eyes.

The man’s eyes were burned by the spray. It scorched so badly that he felt like he was about to go blind.

The man bent over and covered his eyes with a muffled groan, so Ning Shu took advantage of this to clench her fists and rapidly punch him. Due to the pain in his eyes, although the man had been on guard against Ning Shu, he still ended up being punched unconscious.

Ning Shu kicked the unconscious man, then kissed the spray bottle. Pepper spray was seriously a treasure. It was able to catch attackers off guard.

It was probably no one would’ve imagined that a man would carry around pepper spray.

As Ning Shu thought about things, she got really angry. This man had been very ruthless in his attacks. He had been trying to kill her in one move. Ning Shu stomped on the man’s calf and there came the sound of bones breaking. Ning Shu then stomped on it hard two more times. The man was in so much pain that he sat up and screamed, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted again. His leg was already swelling.

In reality, Ning Shu wanted to kill this man, but this was a law-abiding society after all. Even if there was dirt in private, as a lawyer, Xu Wenlang’s hands must be clean. This was the most fundamental principle that had to be upheld.

Xu Wenlang probably also wouldn’t want to come back and become someone that was responsible for the death of another.
