Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School (WN)
chapter-2219

No matter how strong Gu Ning was, people who cared about her would still be worried about her safety. Therefore, after the call with Song Wenxuan, Master Leng called Gu Ning and reminded her to be careful.

That morning, the news that the murderer who tried to assassinate Song Wenxuan was caught spread abroad, and it shocked many people, especially the senior official who sent the gunman.

Although he didn’t pay the gunman to kill Song Wenxuan in person, he had made the arrangement. Therefore, even if the gunman didn’t know that he was the mastermind, if the gunman betrayed the person who paid him, Song Wenxuan could still easily find him using the clues.

Although the person sent by him was reliable, accidents could happen! Therefore, the senior official was quite nervous. He had done a bad thing after all, and it was hard to stay calm as if nothing had happened.

However, no matter how anxious he was now, he couldn’t lose control of himself. Perhaps he could stay out of the case.

In order to not attract a lot of attention, he didn’t dare to send his people to collect more information for him. He could only watch carefully how it would develop afterwards. He would see what he could do according to the situation then.

While he was surprised and anxious, he was also angry, because the gunman was caught so soon. He couldn’t directly collect more information about the gunman, but he could ask the person who was sent by him. He wanted to know whether the gunman was reliable and whether he would be betrayed.

The person didn’t think it was very likely, because the gunman was a fugitive and he would be sentenced to death or life imprisonment once he was caught. In addition, the gunman was a filial son, and the person had used his parents to threaten him. If the gunman betrayed them, they would punish his parents. Therefore, the person didn’t think the gunman would betray them, but it was a possibility.

After the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau took the gunman away last night, he interrogated him overnight, but the gunman refused to say anything.

Afterwards, they found out that this gunman was also a criminal suspect at large, and he was even a major criminal suspect.

Gu Ning learned more information about the gunman two hours after she asked K to investigate it, and she learned that the gunman was actually a criminal suspect at large.

He didn’t apply for his bank card with his ID card, but through a relative of his, so was his phone number. Because he was a criminal suspect at large, he couldn’t use his ID card at all. Once he used it, he would be noticed by the police.

As for his bank card, there had been no large deposits since the beginning of the account opening. He only had occasional amounts of tens of thousands of yuan coming into his account, and there was only dozens of thousands of yuan in it now. Obviously, they made the deal in cash.

K had checked all of his call records, and found nothing abnormal. Therefore, he could only conduct the investigation from places the gunman had visited and the people he had contacted through the surveillance videos.

After watching the surveillance videos, K indeed found something abnormal. Two days ago, the gunman was followed by a man, but the man was wearing a peaked cap and a mask so no one could see his appearance.

The gunman soon noticed the man who was following him, then the two met and talked for a while. Because the surveillance videos had no sound, nobody knew what they had talked about.

Anyway, since that man was wearing a peaked cap and a mask, he had to be hiding himself. Therefore, Gu Ning felt he must be the middleman.

At night, the gunman met the man again in a bar.

After the meeting, the man gave the gunman a bag. Although no one could see what was inside, Gu Ning guessed that it was probably money.

With the bag, the gunman left and returned to his residence, while the man walked away after the gunman was gone.

The investigation about the gunman was nearly done, so K carried out a further investigation through the man wearing a cap and mask.

The man also went around for a long time before returning to his residence. After a further investigation, it turned out that the man was related to a certain senior official.

This senior official was the deputy governor of Province C, Zhou Litao, and Zhou Litao was serving the Yuan family.

That was all the information they could collect from the investigation. At least they failed to find evidence to prove that Zhou Litao was the man who paid the gunman to kill Song Wenxuan.

Therefore, even though they knew who the mastermind was, they lacked evidence and it was impossible to punish Zhou Litao with what they had found till now.

It was obvious that the man had closely contacted the gunman, and it could be determined that he paid a gunman to kill Song Wenxuan. However, as long as he didn’t admit the crime, Zhou Litao could still get away with it.

In that case, Gu Ning decided to unseat Zhou Litao for Song Wenxuan, because it wasn’t difficult for her to unseat him.

Gu Ning asked K to do an investigation about Zhou Litao to see whether they could find anything on him. Even if they couldn’t completely remove him from his position, they had to teach him a lesson.

If there was no solid proof, she would make him guilty through some tricks.

It was evil for her to deliberately frame him, but it was his fault that he had tried to kill Song Wenxuan. Gu Ning simply did it to take revenge.

Afterwards, Gu Ning called Song Wenxuan and shared the result with him. Song Wenxuan wasn’t surprised after he learned who the mastermind was. It wasn’t beyond his expectation. As for Gu Ning’s plan, Song Wenxuan didn’t feel that it wasn’t right. They belonged to different factions, so they were fated to be bitter enemies. Therefore, even if the assassination hadn’t happened this time, they would still pay special attention to teach the other and were always ready to put one another in jail.

From a human nature point of view, Song Wenxuan wasn’t a kind person, at least not to his enemies. As a result, since his enemy took action first this time, there was no reason for him not to take revenge. It was just that it wasn’t convenient for him to do something himself.

Gu Ning now had a plan, and Song Wenxuan wouldn’t disagree. Instead, he supported her, because he relied on Gu Ning to do a quick investigation.

The police hadn’t found any useful information about the mastermind yet, and they were still in the process of interrogating the suspect, so he didn’t have much hope for the police.

…

No matter how busy they were, they needed to eat, so Gu Ning and Qiao Ya went to have a meal when it was time for lunch.

Although the news of the assassination of Song Wenxuan was soon removed, only the public couldn’t see it and the top officials were all aware of that.
