Regretful Beijing Marriage

Ji Shu was a little taken aback. Just as she was about to ask what had happened to her uncle, the door was pushed open.

Ji Wenting walked in, his face pale and sickly.

His gaze immediately fell on Jiang Yining.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"I've already started investigating the fire. Just focus on recovering and don't worry too much."

Ji Shu was interrupted before she could finish speaking, and instinctively followed her uncle's lead, quickly trying to comfort him as well.

"That's right, Ningning, don't be afraid. With my uncle's help, we'll definitely get to the bottom of this, and no one will be able to bully you anymore."

Jiang Yining nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Ji Wenting's face as she spoke with concern.

"I'm fine, but how are your injuries, Mr. Ji?"

"That pillar must have hurt you badly. Go get checked out quickly. Don't try to tough it out; it'll be troublesome if it leaves lasting damage."

Jiang Yining knew it.

If it weren't for Ji Wenting's selfless protection...

That fatal blow should have landed on her.

Without him, it's questionable whether she could even speak here right now.

Regardless of past grievances.

The wound on his back was for her sake; she could never pretend not to see it.

Ji Wenting's eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

In the end, she only gave a very faint smile.

"Okay, I'll take a break."

Jiang Yining withdrew her gaze, her tone suddenly turning somber.

"You don't need to investigate this matter anymore; it was Shen Wan and Meng Yao who did it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shu was furious, her eyes blazing with rage.

"That Shen family is like a persistent ghost!"

"They actually dared to set people on fire this time! It's utterly lawless! Ningning, we absolutely must not let them get away with this!"

"Call the police."

Jiang Yining nodded, her tone resolute.

"Besides Song Xi, all the classmates who were present yesterday were accomplices in my deliberate attempt to harm me, and I will not tolerate any of them."

"You're right, don't worry, I'm already working on it."

Ji Shu immediately responded.

"I contacted the police immediately after the incident. All of them are now in police custody, and none of them can escape."

She still felt lingering fear as she spoke, and a chill ran down her spine.

"Luckily, your classmate Song Xi was quick-witted. She overheard their plot and was about to call the police when I arrived."

"I really can't imagine what would have happened if it had been any later..."

"I never imagined they would be so vicious as to set fire to public places and disregard human life."

Jiang Yining's heart tightened, and she quickly pressed for more information.

"By the way, how's Song Xi?"

Ji Shu: "Don't worry, everyone's fine."

"I only sent you a distress message because my phone was stolen. I'm currently at the police station giving a statement."

Jiang Yining did not hesitate and got out of bed.

Ji Shu was startled and reached out to stop her.

"What are you doing? You've just escaped danger, you're still weak, don't move around!"

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yining gently shook her head.

"I must settle my scores personally."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Ji Wenting and thanked him earnestly.

"Mr. Ji, thank you so much this time."

"Stop following me. Get the doctor to check your injuries and get some rest."

"I no longer want to dwell on the past entanglements. Now that you've saved me, let's wipe the slate clean."

Ji Wenting gave her a deep look, his eyes swirling with emotion.

In the end, he simply nodded slightly.

Jiang Yining didn't linger and quickly left.

Ji Shu, standing behind him, was completely baffled.

"Uncle, when did you get hurt?"

"You were with me outside rescuing people the whole time, how come I didn't notice at all?"

"How is it? Is it serious?"

Ji Wenting withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"Ji Shu, Yi Ning is in poor health right now, so just go along with what she says and don't ask too many questions."

"You go with me to the police station and keep an eye on things; I'll handle the rest."

-

As soon as Jiang Yining stepped out of the inpatient department, she brushed past a team of emergency doctors rushing by.

The crowd pushed the hospital bed and ran at breakneck speed.

"The patient is severely injured and their vital signs are extremely unstable; immediate surgery is necessary!"

As they passed each other, Jiang Yining saw the man on the hospital bed.

It's Fu Huaiyan!

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

His once deep and sharp eyes were now tightly closed.

That moment was too brief, so brief that Jiang Yining couldn't even see the person clearly before the hospital bed was wheeled into the operating room.

They disappeared from sight.

Jiang Yining didn't pay attention and continued walking.

Fu Huaiyan's life or death has nothing to do with her.

Ji Shu drove Jiang Yining to the police station.

On the way, Jiang Yining took Ji Shu's phone and dialed Su Zhiyan's number.

"Zhiyan, is everyone alright? Is anyone hurt?"

"Sister Yining, don't worry, we had already left when the fire broke out, and no one was injured."

Su Zhiyan's voice was filled with lingering fear.

"How could such a big hotel have such an accident? Are you alright? I couldn't get through to you on the phone yesterday."

Jiang Yining breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's okay, you just dropped your phone. You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yining turned to ask Ji Shu.

How many people were injured or killed at the hotel?

"Police and firefighters are still investigating the scene. Nearly 50 people have suffered minor burns, and more than a dozen people are in serious condition and are being treated. So far, there have been no fatalities."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining's expression turned completely somber.

Shen Wan was willing to implicate so many people in order to get rid of her.

She'll settle this score with her sooner or later!

When Song Xi arrived at the police station, she had just finished giving her statement.

When she looked up and saw Jiang Yining, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She rushed over, filled with self-reproach.

"Yi Ning! I'm so glad you're alright!"

"It's all my fault. If my phone hadn't been stolen, I would have called the police sooner..."

Jiang Yining gently patted her back.

"It's not your fault, I'm just glad you're alright."

She walked into the interrogation room.

The group of students, now imprisoned, had long since lost their arrogance.

Their faces were all deathly pale, and cries of grief rose and fell.

Upon seeing Jiang Yining appear, Wu Simiao was the first to come to his senses and hypocritically stepped forward to greet her.

"Yi Ning, I'm so glad you're alright..."

Jiang Yining didn't even lift her eyelids, and looked at the police officer seriously.

"Officer, they didn't make a mistake unintentionally; they deliberately gathered a group to harm me."

"They even deliberately set fire to my house, trying to kill me."

Before anyone could argue, she took Ji Shu's phone and logged into the cloud backend.

An audio clip is played.

It clearly records the words spoken by the crowd surrounding her.

Immediately afterwards, Song Xi stepped forward to identify it.

"That's right, I can testify. They stole my phone and deliberately sent messages to Yi Ning."

Just then, Zhou Xubai, dressed in a formal suit, walked into the hall with a commanding presence.

He walked straight toward the police officers handling the case.

"Officer, I am the lawyer representing Jiang Yining, the victim in this case. I will follow up on this case from now on, and we will pursue all those involved in the case to the fullest extent of the law."

Someone present recognized Zhou Xubai's identity.

"How could it be Attorney Zhou? No way, who exactly is Jiang Yining? He's never lost a case."

At this moment, everyone was completely panicked.

Some people even broke down and cried.

"It's a misunderstanding! How could we possibly kill someone!"

"Let us go, it was all Wu Simiao's orders. We were forced into it!"
