Chapter 428

She took the blame entirely upon herself.

It seemed as if she, Zhang Xiao Nian herself, was the true culprit who had killed Si Shiya.

Looking at the despondent and depressed Zhang Xiao Nian.

Ning Chen sighed, reached out his hand, and gently patted her small head. "The true culprit who caused harm is not you. You need not blame yourself for this. If the saved person is the spiritual continuation of the savior, then you have inherited her will."

"You should not feel sad or distressed over this now. Instead, you should carry her will from her lifetime and do something. After all, no matter how many fine words are spoken, they are not as substantial as a single action."

291. (1/5) Could it be that he truly had the ability to kill those four people?

The next morning.

Ning Chen got up early.

The livestream was not turned on.

The husky lay on the ground sleeping.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Xiao Nian was still in deep sleep.

Ning Chen left the house.

He bought some breakfast and then left a note.

For Zhang Xiao Nian.

And he himself.

drove away from here in the motorhome.

Familiar scenes constantly swept past on both sides.

He drove the motorhome to an apartment building.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

It was still somewhat dark.

Ning Chen stood in the shadow beneath a tree.

Zhao Mengmeng had packed her things and left her home.

The news that Ning Chen had returned to Donghai City attracted considerable attention.

After all, within his livestream.

many official agencies were constantly monitoring his movements.

And the Donghai City police were doing the same.

Ning Chen had become their primary target of observation.

Since Liu Zhiguo stepped down from his post.

the position of Chief of Police had remained vacant for a long time.

Because among all the police officers, they believed that only Liu Zhiguo was capable of filling the role.

But unfortunately.

Liu Zhiguo would not return.

To be precise.

he would not return to the police station.

If the police truly had an undercover agent in the Golden Triangle.

then.

whatever they did would be known in advance.

The entire plan would be completely thrown into disarray.

The preparations made would be exploited by the enemy and turned against them.

Just a short while ago.

a new Chief of Police arrived at the Donghai City Police Station.

Today was the day of his assumption of office.

So Zhao Mengmeng got up early to pack, preparing to rush to the police station to make preparations.

As soon as she stepped out and descended the stairs.

walking onto the street.

Under the dim space, a figure rapidly approached her.

The footsteps made no sound, like a ghost.

In an instant, he arrived behind Zhao Mengmeng.

He spoke softly, "Do you have any news on the clues from last time?"

In this quiet moment.

although the voice was faint, it startled Zhao Mengmeng right by her ear.

Like thunder striking from a clear sky.

In an instant.

Zhao Mengmeng, like a wild cat that had been thoroughly frightened, her muscles contracted, almost in a state of panic.

She lifted her leg, increased the force, moved suddenly, and delivered a whip kick backward.

The figure chose not to block it.

Instead, his feet moved with the wind, and in two or three steps, he slightly evaded the kick.

Then he said again, "It is me, Ning Chen."

"Ning Chen!"

Hearing this name.

Zhao Mengmeng froze on the spot, then quickly turned around to look.

Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and she made out the person's face.

"Ning Chen, it really is you!" Zhao Mengmeng looked at Ning Chen and exclaimed, "I thought I'd run into some bandits!"

Ning Chen looked at Zhao Mengmeng with a calm expression and said, "I'm here to ask you: do you have any results from the clue last time?"

Zhao Mengmeng patted her chest, steadying the fright she'd just felt, then said, "There are results!"

A hint of color appeared in Ning Chen's eyes. "What is the thing that clue points to?"

"Tian Shun Xiang." Zhao Mengmeng said solemnly.

"Tian Shun Xiang?" Ning Chen was somewhat puzzled. "Why does that sound familiar?"

Zhao Mengmeng explained, "It's a funeral items brand company, specializing in handling funerals."

Having said this,

Zhao Mengmeng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "At the time, after Si Shiya passed away, I was in charge of the funeral arrangements. I went to this shop to negotiate and prepare for Si Shiya's funeral, and there I personally selected the urn."

Listening, Ning Chen frowned.

How could this clue point to Si Shiya?

Seeing Ning Chen's expression, Zhao Mengmeng immediately added, "When I tracked down this shop, the clue you gave me still had several numbers; one set referred to the urn's dimensions."

Ning Chen asked, "What about the other set?"

"The other set..." Zhao Mengmeng's gaze showed some emotional fluctuation, as if recalling a memory.

Then.

Zhao Mengmeng spoke.

After hearing it, Ning Chen's face turned serious.

A black sedan drove into Donghai City.

After Zhao Zhiguo received Zhao Mengmeng's call last night,

he drove back to Donghai City without sleep or rest.

But when he wanted to check Ning Chen's livestream to see where he had arrived,

he found that Ning Chen had already ended the broadcast.

Zhao Zhiguo sighed, "This Ning Chen: he doesn't stream when he should, and streams when he shouldn't!"

Just as he was pondering whether to return to the police station to investigate,

a phone call disrupted his thoughts.

It was Zhao Mengmeng.

"Hello!" Zhao Zhiguo answered the call, feeling a glimmer of hope, because normally Zhao Mengmeng only called him when there was something important; now that Ning Chen had entered Donghai City, the news was very likely related to Ning Chen.
