Smash the Car

Zhang Li glanced at Wu Ming, who was standing next to Ning Zhi, but Wu Ming glared back at him. He smiled embarrassedly. "Well, we came here for nothing then? It's very difficult for us to report if we don't pick you up."

"I'm sorry, I do have something to attend to. I can only trouble you to return to the company first."

Ning Zhi continued, "By the way, please inform Li Mu that I'll be at the company shortly."

After saying that, she got into the Maybach with Wu Ming.

"Thank you for just now. Sorry to trouble you."

After driving for a while, Ning Zhi still had lingering fears. The gazes of Zhang Li and his companions made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't want to have any further contact with them.

If she hadn't encountered Wu Ming, she didn't know what those people would have done to her.

"No trouble at all. It was just on the way." He sat in the car and looked back through the window. "That person you were supposed to meet just now, was he the person in charge?"

Wu Ming did not expect her to work in such an unprofessional company.

"Ningning, why don't you come work for our company? The benefits will be better than here." Wu Ming began to introduce the excellent benefits of his family's company, hoping to persuade her to work there.

Ning Zhi wasn't paying attention to what Wu Ming was saying and seemed lost in thought. The capital city was no longer an option for her since it was where Li Yan usually resided. Even the countries and cities that Li Yan often visited couldn't be considered alternatives.

"Ningning, Ningning?" Wu Ming had been talking for a while, but he noticed that Ning Zhi was daydreaming. He called her multiple times before she snapped out of it.

"Ah, I'll think about it!" Ning Zhi didn't know what Wu Ming had been talking about, so she could only continue the conversation based on the previous topic.

"What are you considering?" Wu Ming was a bit amused and exasperated. "I wanted to remind you that we've arrived at the hotel."

"Thank you for the ride." Ning Zhi took her luggage, ready to check in.

"I told you it was on the way. I'm staying in the hotel right across." Wu Ming pointed at the five-star hotel opposite.

Since He Ling was a relatively small place with average development, the few high-end hotels were all concentrated in one area.

After bidding farewell to Wu Ming, she had just arrived in her room when she received a call from Lu Ping.

"Hello, Special Assistant Ning, have you arrived?" Lu Ping's voice sounded tired.

"I've arrived at the hotel. By the way, did you arrange for the people who came to pick me up today?" Ning Zhi felt a little nauseous when she thought of those people as if that smell was lingering around her.

"Pick-up? Li Mu arranged it, didn't he? I've been dealing with the natives recently, and it's giving me a headache. Special Assistant Ning, please come and help me." Lu Ping's voice had a hint of indifference to life and death.

Ning Zhi was afraid that if she delayed any longer, Lu Ping wouldn't be able to handle it, so she quickly agreed and prepared to take a shower before heading over.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhi started to ponder. Li Mu?

Earlier at the airport, she seemed to have heard Zhang Li call Li Mu a manager. However, she remembered Li Mu leaving as the team leader. She didn't expect him to be promoted so quickly in such a short period.

Ning Zhi opened WeChat and sent a message to Yao Jing, the brother to whom Ning Zhi had transferred the money.

[Brother, help me investigate a few people. I've sent you the information.]

Almost instantly, a reply came through: [Okay.]

After Ning Zhi washed up and dressed up, she prepared to go to the branch office.

But as soon as she stepped out of the hotel, she noticed a group of people lurking around a car.

She didn't want to meddle, but she felt the car looked familiar—it was Wu Ming's!

"Hey! What are you doing!" Ning Zhi picked up the phone and pretended to call the police as she ran over. "I've already called the police!"

"The police?" The group of people didn't seem afraid when they saw Ning Zhi approaching. "I advise you to mind your own business!"

"I called the police!" Seeing their lack of fear, Ning Zhi opened her phone and prepared to make the call.

Unexpectedly, one of the men reached out to snatch the phone from her hand. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, or else the man would have grabbed it.

"Little girl, I advise you not to cause trouble for yourself!" The man remained arrogant and tried to grab Ning Zhi's hand.

"What are you doing?!"

A tall figure appeared in front of Ning Zhi. It was Wu Ming.
