After the passion, Ning Xi lay motionless in Wen Liang's arms. Wen Liang entangled her black hair with his fingers and suddenly asked, "How's the soundproofing here? Chang Cheng and your female assistant are still outside..."
Ning Xi rubbed her head against his chin like a lazy kitten, and chuckled, "I guessed that someone as disgusting as you would do something inappropriate and disgusting in my office, so I installed soundproofing materials when I renovated it..."
"Hey, God, you seduced me first, okay? Besides, if you hadn't screamed so loudly, would I have to worry about this?"
"Who is loud? Who is loud?"
"Itchy, don't scratch it, don't scratch it, I surrender!"
After hugging each other and talking sweet nothings for a while, Ning Xi sat up, combed her messy long hair along her ears with both hands, turned her head and smiled at Wen Liang.
Wen Liang asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Although Ning Xi did not seem to be abnormal on the surface, Wen Liang, as a person who had experienced it, could not help but understand the impact of Lei Fang's shooting on her, otherwise she would not have been so bold to make love with him in the office without caring about anything. In fact, from the moment he opened the door, Wen Liang could clearly feel Ning Xi's upset mood, suppressed emotions, and restlessness that had nowhere to vent. Of course, it was reasonable for her to have such a reaction. Except for robots who were born cold-blooded, no one was born to adapt to a life full of open and hidden arrows and sinister murderous intentions. However, as long as she passed this hurdle, experienced killing and being killed, from then on, the sky was high and the sea was vast, birds flew and fish leaped, and nothing could restrain her steps anymore.
Ning Xi nodded slightly, staring into Wen Liang's eyes, and said softly: "Now that you are here, I feel much more at ease! But I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lei Fang to get through this time..."
The place where Lei Fang got into trouble was not Shahe, but the center of Dongming. As for what he went to Dongming for, the answer was self-evident. A young man who was used to the glamorous world of Beijing was willing to come to Shahe County, a remote mining area. He was already a model of career and ambition among his peers. We couldn't force him to live an ascetic life like the villagers in his hometown.
Therefore, going to some entertainment places in Dongming City from time to time to have fun became Lei Fang's only way to relieve his free time after work. Ning Xi turned a blind eye to this. As long as it did not affect the normal operation of Hengsha, she was too lazy to ask about or interfere with this bad nature of men. However, these actions seemed to be an opportunity for some people who were unwilling to lose the mining area.
Last night was another day of fun. At two or three in the morning, Lei Fang and Gao Zhan had just left a club. Before they reached the parking lot, a man wearing a hood suddenly jumped out of the darkness and was about to shoot Lei Fang in the head. At the critical moment, Gao Zhan pushed Lei Fang away, then rushed forward. The moment he was about to take the pistol, the other party pulled the trigger and hit Gao Zhan's hand. At such a close distance, three fingers of Gao Zhan's right hand were beaten to pieces on the spot, and blood splattered all over the two of them. But Gao Zhan was like a madman, not caring about the wound on his hand at all, and put on a desperate posture, which completely scared the shooter. In the end, he was beaten to death and surrendered obediently.
"Has the shooter been interrogated? What was his motive?"
"A small boss of a mining factory, who owed a lot of gambling debts, was counting on the mining factory to make up for the debts. But at the end of August, the new "Mineral Resources Law" was promulgated, and the company accelerated the pace of mergers and acquisitions. He felt that he had nowhere to go. Anyway, if he was caught by the debt collectors, he would die. Before he died, he wanted to take revenge on someone else. According to his confession, the original target was me, but my whereabouts were uncertain, and there was always a large group of people around me, so he had to settle for the second best and chose Lei Fang..."
Wen Liang looked solemn. Although it sounded like an accident, there was an indisputable necessity behind the accident. Extending from the three major mining areas to Shahe and Dongming was an extremely complex circle of interests, where one move affected the whole body. So when Ning Xi first arrived, he removed several city and county leaders, and immediately killed Zhang Erhu, in order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to establish his authority, and to prevent other controllers hidden behind the scenes from making any moves. Judging from the developments in the next two months, this move had an immediate effect.
However, with the official promulgation and implementation of the new "Mineral Resources Law", those who were waiting and waiting, dreaming of policy changes, had no choice but to give up. Once someone among them took the risk, there would be countless imitators. If these people were just brave and wanted to get something for a while, it would not be too difficult to deal with them, and the damage would not be too great. The only thing to worry about was that the local forces that had just been suppressed would take the opportunity to instigate, organize, obstruct and cause trouble. At that time, the situation that Hengsha would face would be a hundred times more chaotic than when they first entered Shahe.
The economic crisis is about to break out next year. Ning Xi must speed up the integration of the Shahe mineral deposit according to the plan, and then use it as a foundation to start nationwide expansion. She doesn't have much time left.
"Gao Zhan, is he... badly injured?"
Wen Liang was silent for a moment, then asked the question he had been afraid to ask. Ning Xi understood his thoughts and whispered, "Although he was sent to the Municipal Orthopedic Hospital as soon as possible, the severed finger was severely damaged and there was no way to perform a reattachment operation. I'm afraid his right hand is useless."
Wen Liang closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa for a long time without saying anything. Ning Xi took his hand, placed it on her face and gently rubbed it, saying, "Don't worry too much. Lei Fang was urgently recalled to the capital by the Lei family, and Gao Zhan was brought back with him. The medical conditions and technical conditions there are much better than those in Dongming. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Wen Liang shook his head gently, and after a while, he opened his eyes again. His deep eyes showed no emotion, and he stopped talking about Gao Zhan. He said quietly, "You said that it would be difficult for Lei Fang to pass the test. Do you mean that there will be unusual movements in the Lei family?"
Ning Xi frowned and said, "I can't be sure yet, but Lei Fang told me that he represented the Lei family in the operation of Hengsha. There have always been different opinions within the Lei family. It was only because of my grandfather's favor and my strong request that Lei Yunhai pushed him to take the stage. 800 billion, I don't know how many people are jealous..."
The Lei family is a behemoth in the eyes of outsiders, but the family's resources are not endless and can be squandered and controlled by anyone. So like other factions, only elites who have gone through fierce competition and always stand firm can become the focus of family training. This unprecedented large-scale cooperation between the Ning and Lei families is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any ambitious person. Ning Xi is a unique choice for the Ning family, and no one will object. However, the Lei family faces a much more difficult situation. How can a dandy who works as a broker in the Forty-Nine City be qualified to step into the limelight and lead the trend
So I don't know how many people were secretly waiting for him to make a mistake. The fact that he almost died in Shahe this time was enough to put countless accusations on him, and the fact that he was urgently summoned back to Beijing the next day after the incident showed how impatient some people were!
Sometimes the world is so ironic. As a person who has been through the gates of hell, Lei Fang was not greeted with comfort and care after returning to Beijing, but with questioning and accountability, open knives and hidden arrows! (To be continued)
