CHAPTER 1150: CHAPTER 654: BEAUTIFUL, ISN’T IT?

"Shuyan?"

Zhuang Jianhui’s tone contained joy.

He had been seeing Ding Shuyan less and less frequently lately.

Ever since Lin Han and Shao Shuangshuang reached a consensus, she often took Ding Shuyan to attend various meetings, broadening her horizons and gaining experience.

Ding Shuyan initially refused on the grounds of focusing on her studies, until she realized that if she wanted the grades of Fourth Middle School’s third place, Du Chuan, she would need to dedicate significantly more time.

Moreover, she might not even surpass him.

Thus, Ding Shuyan chose to give up, finding it more efficient to start from Shao Shuangshuang’s side.

The relationship between Jiang Ning and Evergreen Liquid might be hidden from others, but for Ding Shuyan, it posed almost no difficulty.

She had already figured out the relationship.

Shao Shuangshuang appeared to be the big boss of Evergreen Liquid, but in reality, she was merely a glove for Jiang Ning.

So, the purpose of Evergreen Liquid collecting rare items from around the world was not to develop new drugs, but merely to supply Jiang Ning.

According to this view, places such as Hu Qi Mountain, Qingyu Lake, and even the recent land near Snowflake Lake, as well as the death of Han Yue from Rui Fang Li Family in Jiang City, were all explained.

And Ding Shuyan’s next goal was to get close to Shao Shuangshuang and finally, bit by bit, take her place!

"How was lunch?" Ding Shuyan’s voice was clear and pleasant.

Zhuang Jianhui and Lin Zida exchanged a glance, and Zhuang Jianhui said, "Something incredible happened today."

At this point, Zhuang Jianhui’s expression became unpleasant: "Jiang Ning almost killed Li Shi."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shuyan felt her heart skip, and a thought involuntarily came to her mind: ’Has Li Shi discovered Jiang Ning’s identity?’

’How is that possible?’

Her expression management was excellent; even though countless thoughts surged inside her, her almost perfect face remained calm and collected:

"Oh? What happened?"

Ding Shuyan asked this way.

As usual, she walked to the room’s water bar, took a paper cup, and lightly pressed the switch of the instant hot water dispenser.

Zhuang Jianhui said: "Evergreen Liquid built an indoor shooting range at Guanlan Mansion..."

He recounted in detail the events that occurred at the shooting range in the afternoon, with occasional supplements from Lin Zida.

Ding Shuyan picked up the cup, gently blew away the steam from the surface, and then elegantly took a sip.

Until Zhuang Jianhui finished recounting the entire process, he still hadn’t seen Ding Shuyan’s eyebrows twitch.

Especially when talking about how Jiang Ning nearly shot his hand, he used his high school Chinese to vividly depict the thrilling scene at the time, but still, Ding Shuyan did not react.

Zhuang Jianhui felt somewhat frustrated and filled with doubt: ’She’s not worried at all?’

’I almost became disabled!’

The water’s temperature was just right, neither scalding hot nor too cold, perfectly mirroring Ding Shuyan’s mood.

"What happened next?" she asked.

Zhuang Jianhui said: "I asked my uncle to adjust the monitoring to gather evidence and prepare to control Jiang Ning, but it was blocked by Evergreen Liquid."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shuyan thought to herself that if they could obtain the monitoring, that would indeed be strange.

At the same time, she drank the last of the water in the cup, her deep, bright eyes looking directly at the two:

"Stop the investigation."

Zhuang Jianhui’s expression suddenly changed, blurting out: "Why?"

Ding Shuyan didn’t look at him but instead spoke to Lin Zida: "Lin Xiaopang, have you played so many games that your intelligence has regressed?"

Lin Zida’s face looked embarrassed.

Ding Shuyan said: "How is Jiang Ning’s shooting skill?"

Reluctantly admitting, Zhuang Jianhui said: "Good."

Lin Zida: "Quite good, not just his shooting skills, but his mentality is excellent as well."

He truly dared to shoot directly!

Ding Shuyan said indifferently: "According to what happened at the training ground this afternoon, even the most skilled sharpshooter would need a lot of bullets to practice to that extent."

Without mentioning how different Jiang Ning was from ordinary people, she wove a different narrative: "So, he must have had a lot of shooting opportunities before."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zida slapped his forehead, as he hadn’t noticed this point when he was close to death.

Zhuang Jianhui, still in a state of anger, now realized that Jiang Ning had as many gun training opportunities as he did.

"And two, according to regulations, the safety officer should have supervised the whole process; why did he leave mid-way?"

Ding Shuyan’s voice was neither high nor low, her speed neither fast nor slow, but against her silky voice, one couldn’t help but immerse in it.

Lin Zida: "Are you saying this was prearranged by Jiang Ning?"

"Li Shi previously had some disputes with Jiang Ning, right?" Ding Shuyan leaned against the water bar, her posture slightly relaxed, the elegant long dress perfectly outlining her figure, fresh and ethereal.

Lin Zida recalled: "Li Shi and Jiang Ning didn’t get along well. She often looked down on Jiang Ning, and at lunch... I even thought it was disgraceful for Jiang Ning to hide behind the girls."

"Could it be... the training ground was specially arranged by Jiang Ning? That seems impossible." As Lin Zida imagined, his expression became increasingly serious.

Zhuang Jianhui: "Even if he planned it, the fact that he acted against us is still true; we can’t just let it pass like this."

Even now, he felt stifled inside.

Ding Shuyan asked him: "Didn’t your uncle ever teach you? ’Plan thoroughly before action, know when to stop for success.’ You can’t see through him at all now, do you plan to suffer a great loss by acting blindly?"

Zhuang Jianhui was scolded, feeling a bit humiliated.

Lin Zida said: "Let’s pause for now, don’t drag your uncle into this."

Seeing that Zhuang Jianhui’s face still showed defiance, Ding Shuyan, recalling their long friendship, sighed gently:

"Han Yue’s death in Jiang City is related to Evergreen Liquid."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jianhui’s expression drastically changed.

Han Yue, like him, held a similar status. Even a company of Rui Fang Group’s scale had to rely on Han Yue’s influence. Although Han Yue’s family background was not as strong as his, he was definitely someone of equal standing to converse with.
