ty.His eyes flickered, his voice soft as he advised, "Xixi, the Fourth Young Master of the Li family is known throughout the city for his dissolute ways. He's not worthy of your affections at all. Why..."Miss Luo, now that the person inside is fine, I'll send you back to the ward." Under the mask, the man's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, his voice neither cold nor warm, "By the way, let me take care of your neck."

"My neck" Luo Ningxi touched her neck in a daze, and suddenly frowned in pain.

She glanced around, her brow furrowed as she couldn't see Xiao Jin. She could only nod and speak with difficulty, "I'm fine, just didn't expect to run into President Sheng here."

“I should have had Mo Yao notify you that he’d be visiting the hospital these days. Unexpectedly, he saved your life.”

The man's voice couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, but there was a hint of concern in it.

"Thank you." Luo Ningxi nodded, her eyes still fixed on Li Boche's profile under the mask, "President Sheng appeared too timely. I thought it was..."

She didn't finish her sentence before she saw several police officers appear at the door of the ward.

"Luning Xi, you are reported to have stolen the highly toxic pharmaceuticals from the Li Corporation and attempted to poison them. Your secretary has already been taken into custody. Please come with us."

"Stealing medicine"

Lu Ningxi was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure and replied without hesitation, "As a police officer, I have hospital surveillance footage as evidence. I am innocent in this matter and willing to accept an investigation."

"Miss Luo, this case is serious. Let's discuss it at the police station." The officer said in a cold and stern tone, then reached into his pocket for handcuffs.

Beneath his mask, the man's face was a mixture of danger and indifference as he spoke in a calm voice, "Such a major event has occurred, and you all would immediately arrest someone without even discussing it. However, I believe that no matter what, Miss Luo should be given the chance to explain herself."

Lo Ningxi moved her pale lips, her gaze fixed on the depths of the man's eyes. But instead of speaking, she extended her hand, allowing the cold handcuffs to rest against her wrist.

The steel handcuffs were heavy, and the imprint of them was immediately visible on Loning Xi's fair, slender wrists.

She followed the police arrangements all the way, but when she passed by Li Bichen, her steps faltered. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she pursed her lips and said,

"Mr. Sheng, thank you for standing up for me. When I come out safely, I will definitely repay your kindness."

After finishing his statement, he followed the police into the elevator.

The man stood there until the elevator doors slowly closed. Then Mo Yao hurried up from behind and whispered, "Mr. Sheng, should I go to the police station and make some arrangements Although Miss Luo is innocent, we don't know anything about the theft at the pharmaceutical factory. But if she has to stay in the police station for a few days, it wouldn't be good for her or the Luo Corporation."

"No need." The man's eyes glinted with a sinister darkness. "Do you think there's a safer place than the police station before we find Jian Ningyi"

It seems Jian Ning was able to get things done so smoothly, there must be someone helping her behind the scenes.

Things are far more complicated than they appear.

Mo Yao respectfully nodded, his voice growing even heavier. "We've searched everywhere near the hospital, but we still haven't found Jian Ningyi. The surveillance cameras didn't capture her face either..."

The man's cold breath seemed to freeze the air around him.

"Keep searching, use every means necessary, even dig three feet into the ground to find her. I don't believe this woman would just vanish into thin air!"

……

The Li family's old house.

Mr. Li lay half-reclined on the bed, his aged brow and eyes revealing a sickly pallor.

Since he returned from the hospital last time, his health has deteriorated further and he has been bedridden ever since.

"Knock knock."

Chen Ming knocked on the door and walked in. He whispered a few words in Lao Ye's ear, his expression carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Well, it's good that you're back." Old Master Li nodded after hearing this, pondering for a moment, "Are things all settled What about the fourth son, any news"

"Everything is handled. The evidence found by the pharmaceutical factory has been submitted, and Lonningxi has been arrested by the police. Shao Si went out with friends today, he should still be unaware of this."

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What if, Ning Xi was sent to jail, wouldn't the Fourth Young Master take care of it"

Master Li's cold and stern eyes flashed with an unreadable glint. He clutched his chest and coughed heavily twice.

"You go handle the pharmaceutical company situation first. Don't let any negative news get linked to Li."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Chen Ming nodded respectfully, but as he was about to reach the door, he was called back. A cold voice came from behind him, "After Yu Chengnan wakes up, you go to the hospital and see him for me..."

Chen Ming paused his steps and nodded, "Yes."

When Chen Ming left the bedroom, Mu Xiyin was standing in the corridor with a cup of medicine in hand.

Although she had stayed in the old house and never gone out, she had already inquired about the hospital thoroughly.

Although Jian Ningyi failed to poison her, Luo Ningxi was sent to prison. It wasn't a complete failure.

Just as she was thinking, Mu Xi Yin's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

The moment the phone was picked up, a familiar female voice came through the ear.

"Mu Xi Yin, you said before that we were on the same boat, right"huckled coldly, "Don't tell me you want to get the donated money back privately"Luo Ningxi admitted that she and Yu Chengnan had indeed communicated with the person in charge of this charity, but now...
