Chapter 423 - The Danger is Approaching. (1/2)

Official from the Discipline Inspection Department?

Xia Ning feels nervous. She asks, “What happened?”

“Nothing serious. It is about Secretary Yi Yunyi. Miss Xia, will you be free at three in the afternoon tomorrow?”

Yi Yunyi? Her second elder brother-in-law?

Xia Ning feels worried, “Mr. Cheng, what on earth happened? Can you tell me?”

“Come to the municipal committee at three in the afternoon tomorrow and you will know. Miss Xia, I may hang up for now.”

The caller hangs up. Xia Ning dials Yi Yunyi’s number at once, but only to find that Yi Yunyi’s phone is off!

It is bad!

At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings again. It is Gu Ruoruo. Xia Ning presses the answer button at once. She has not said anything while she hears Gu Ruoruo crying.

Xia Ning feels worried. She asks, “Ruoruo, does anything happen to my brother?”

“Sister Xia.” Gu Ruoruo says, “It is my fault. I created the trouble. Yi has been taken away for inspection…” She cries.

“Ruoruo, don’t cry for now. Calm down. Tell me what happens.”

Gu Ruoruo takes some deep breaths to calm herself down. She says, “Sister Xia, do you remember the adornment of Flying Wing to Wing in Qianfu Jewelry store?”

“Hum.”

“People from the discipline inspection department said they suspected that Yi took bribes. It is because of the Flying Wing to Wing I received. Oh… I feel very regretful about that. I took it and brought the trouble to Yi…” She cries again.

Xia Ning listens to her and feels her heart tightened. She feels something wrong. That day, the clerk in Qianfu Jewelry said that Flying Wing to Wing was not for sale. But then, it was sent to Gu Ruoruo. Now, the discipline inspection department is suspicious of Yi Yunyi’s taking bribes…

The case is not simple. Seemingly, someone is operating it behind.

Wait!

Xia Ning’s eyes brighten. She says to Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, don’t worry. You may frankly answer the questions the official in the discipline inspection department asks. I will try to figure it out. Remember not to cry. Your crying may make the situation tougher for my brother. He will need to spend some efforts in taking care of you.”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo seems to realize something. She stops crying at once, “Yes. Why didn’t I think about this! Yi is in trouble now. I can’t make him worried about me. Sister Xia, thank you. I will take care of myself.”

“Hum. I will call you with any news. I may go to learn more information about the case. Bye.”

“Sister Xia, thank you.”

Xia Ning hangs up. She looks for the number in the telephone directory. She remembers a man. It is Su Shen.

Qianfu Jewelry is a property of Su Shen. Only Su Shen has the authority to sell Flying Wing to Wing. Therefore, Yi Yunyi’s taking bribes case must be related to him.

Xia Ning has found Su Shen’s number. She is just going to dial the number when her phone rings again. It is her mother-in-law Zheng Yao.

Xia Ning’s hands tremble. It can’t be coincident for her mother-in-law to call her at this time.

Can it be related to her brother’s case?

Xia Ning holds the phone tightly. She closes her eyes to calm herself down for a while and presses the answer button, “Mom…”

“You jinx! Don’t call me mom!”

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. She has predicted that her mother-in-law won’t show a smiling face to her. She is quite mentally prepared for her mother-in-law’s scolding. Xia Ning says, “Mom, you may not scold me for now. What are you calling for?”

“You are asking what I am calling for? Yi was taken away by the discipline inspection department. Don’t you know that? Don’t pretend!”

“Mom, I knew that my brother was taken away because of an adornment…”

“You knew it!” Zheng Yao gasps, “You went to buy the jewelry with the little bitch of Gu Family that day, didn’t you? Xia Ning, you are a genius! Do you want to pull down the Yi Family? Listen to me. As long as I am alive, you won’t make it! Even if I may die, I will draw you to hell with me!”

Xia Ning frowns tightly. Zheng Yao speaks very mean words.

“Mom, before the conclusion comes out, I hope you calm down. Isn’t the discipline inspection department investigating now? If I did anything, I won’t be able to get away from being punished by the laws. Now, the most important thing is to solve the problem. Mom, it is no use scolding me to vent your anger.”

“Good. Xia Ning, you may keep my words in your mind. Devils will be paid back with punishments. It is just not the right time yet! I will wait to see how you will end up!”

Then, Zheng Yao hangs up.

Xia Ning purses her lips. She gives a sigh.

The misunderstanding between her mother-in-law and her gets worse. Seemingly, it is impossible to be solved within a short time. Now, her mother-in-law has such serious bias against her. No matter what she says, her mother-in-law won’t believe her. She can’t but wait to solve it in the future. Anyway, she has got quite a lot of time.

The most important thing for the moment is to figure out the truth of the case related to her brother. She also needs to find out Su Shen’s purpose.
