"Why is she coming to me? Would I help her, or even have the ability to help her?" Sheng Ning felt speechless. Did she look like a saint? Someone was trying to seduce her husband, and she should go out of her way to help?
"Because you have the ability to help her. Whether you will or not depends on her own skills." This girl still hadnât realized just how influential she was.
No matter what she did, the Su Family would unconditionally support her. Lu Yuan from the Research Institute owed her a favor for her previous advice and had long been quietly thinking about how to repay her. This time, Principal Feng and Fatty Zhu were speaking well of her everywhere, as if they had already banded together like a rope.
Xu Qigangâs influence in the rescue world was also immeasurable. Together, the couple had already formed a force that couldnât be ignored.
"I definitely wonât help her," Sheng Ning said firmly.
"Then Iâm relieved."
On the way back, Sheng Ning told Xu Qigang about this. The man driving furrowed his brows slightly.
"Iâve heard of Han Xiaoqiu too."
"Even you know her?" Sheng Ning was quite surprised.
"Yes. When Meng Fan was alive, he mentioned her."
"Oh!" Sheng Ning nodded, turning her head to focus on his serious side profile as he drove.
"Xiao Ning, Iâll be quite busy these days, so if you go out, let Renault accompany you."
"What? Is it unsafe?"
Xu Qigang nodded solemnly, "We didnât catch those people last time; I suspect theyâre still lurking in the city. Tomorrow, weâll start preparing to search the area."
"Alright!" Sheng Ning nodded decisively, "Then take care, only follow, no hands-on actions, okay?"
He glanced at her helplessly and agreed, "Okay!"

General Union Courtyard
Today, Han Xiaoqiu finally met Mr. Hai. Seeing the elderly man, she fell to her knees with a thud, her face awash with tears.
"Please, Mr. Hai, save Huwen. Sheâs truly innocent. Please, for the sake of my father, save Huwen," Han Xiaoqiu cried pitifully, her tears flowing.
Since she was adopted, this was her second time kneeling before the old man. The first time was when she first entered the house, and just as she knelt, he helped her up. This time, he sat solid as a rock, completely unmoved.
Han Xiaoqiuâs heart sank lower and lower; did the old man really decide not to save face for her father?
"Mr. Hai, please, for the sake of my father, help Huwen. Sheâs truly innocent."
"Get up!" Mr. Hai sighed.
"If you donât agree, I wonât get up."
Mr. Hai gave Ji Lihua a look, and the latter immediately went over and forcibly pulled Han Xiaoqiu up without a word. Ji Lihua used a clever strength so that she couldnât kneel even if she tried.
In the end, she had no choice but to sit on the sofa beside Mr. Hai.
"Youâre of considerable age, no longer a child, why do you kneel so easily?"
"Kneeling to you is what I should do."
"Thereâs no should or shouldnât here."
Mr. Haiâs attitude left Han Xiaoqiu puzzled. Everything had changed since she came back, and the situation was very disadvantageous to her. Yesterday, she went to see Dong Shuhua, thinking that as Mrs. Shen, she must be living better than herself, but almost didnât recognize her.
Due to Shen Yuâs incident, the entire Shen Family was implicated. Dong Shuhua aged significantly; her hair turned white, and her relationship with her husband had completely fallen apart.
If divorce wasnât impossible, she wouldnât even be able to keep the title of Mrs. Shen.
