“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to you.” Tang Rou hastily agreed.

“I’ll send you the formula after I’ve cracked the code. Now, return to Ning Chen, do you hear me?!” The man’s voice was as cold as ice.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go right now!” Tang Rou hung up the phone in a daze. After freshening up, she went looking for Ning Chen.

The man put away his phone with a deep sense of helplessness on his face.

Another man standing next to him overheard the conversation and said, “Qi Heng, should we bring Rourou back? You haven’t seen her in thirteen years!”

Not only that, he didn’t allow Qi Rou to call him! One wondered the relationship between the father and his daughter.

Qi Heng shook his head, “No, we can’t let her come back. Don’t you know what we are doing? If we are exposed, I don’t care how I die, I just want her to live a clean and peaceful life.”

Therefore, when Qi Rou was very young, he sent her to France and arranged for her to become a disciple of the French master perfumer.

All these years, he never took the initiative to contact Qi Rou, nor did he allow Qi Rou to meet him. There were plenty of flaws in her personality, most probably the lack of parental figures in her life since young. She wasn’t as positive as the other kids, instead, she was even a little twisted in her mind.

if it wasn’t for Ouyang’s mishap, he wouldn’t have allowed Qi Rou to take the mission.

The middle-aged man standing next to him sighed helplessly. “Take her back when you’re done with this.”

“Done with everything?” Qi Heng sneered, “Do you think we can ever stay away from all of these? Ask Black Shark and see if he’s willing to stop. You know that making 10 percent profit makes people go crazy. 50 percent puts all fear behind their minds. 100 percent enables one to take huge risks and 300 percent disregards all laws on earth. Black shark and I are not saints. We can’t give up everything we have. From the day we begin our journey, there is not turning back.”

It was the end of spring, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. When the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, Uncle Wen, who entered the car, brought in a gust of hot air.

“Have you found out?” Although Ning Chen’s tone was calm, there was still a hint of nervousness in his expression.

Uncle Wen shook his head regretfully. “The servants of at Ning Wu’s change very frequently. We don’t know who’s very close with Ning Cheng then.”

Ning Wu was Ning Cheng’s biological father. After Ning Cheng returned, it was Ning Wu who arranged work for Ning Cheng.

These few days, Ning Chen had pulled out the case file of Ning Cheng’s death from the police station. He looked through it carefully and finally found a clue.

Ning Cheng was a police officer, so he should be much more alert than ordinary people. If his drowning was not an accident, but a frame-up, then the whole thing would seem very strange.

After all, what kind of person could subdue a professional police officer and drown him in the pool?

After reading on, Ning Chen found an autopsy was done in Ning Cheng, and the autopsy report said that Ning Cheng’s body did not show any signs of resistance.

If Ning Cheng was killed by a sudden attack, then it was impossible that he did not resist!

So there was only one possibility.

It was an acquaintance who committed the crime.

If it was an acquaintance who asked Ning Cheng out that night, then found an excuse to let Ning Cheng get close to the pool, and then suddenly attacked Ning Cheng so that he fell into the water, causing Ning Cheng to drown, then it would make sense.

When Ning Chen thought of this, he felt that this was the only reason that could explain Ning Cheng’s death.

So he brought Uncle Wen to Ning Wu’s house first, to see if he could find out whether if Ning Cheng had any good friends in M City.

Nothing was found.

“What should we do now?” Uncle Wen wiped the sweat off his face and asked.

Ning Chen frowned slightly. After giving it some thought, he said, “It’s not difficult to come to the conclusion that Ning Cheng was killed by an acquaintance. As long as you read the file, anyone with a working brain should be able to get it. Why didn’t anyone investigate back then?”

The case file did not mention anything about investigating the people close to Ning Cheng. Could it be that the police had really overlooked this point?

Ning Chen did not quite believe it.

“Let’s go and look for Chief Li.”

After a few previous encounters, Ning Chen and Chief Li were now familiar with each other. Soon, Chief Li found the police officer who had investigated this case back then.

After asking the police officer about this matter... the police officer scratched his head and said, “This case was finalized very quickly. We didn’t have time to investigate these aspects at all. Ning Cheng was determined to have died by accident. After all, there were no traces of other murderers at the scene, so the case was closed.”

Although Ning Cheng was the son of the Ning family, he was still an illegitimate son. Ning Wu didn’t dare to go to great lengths to investigate the cause of death of Ning Cheng.. Since it didn’t seem like a murder, there was no problem in concluding the case as an accidental death.
