The mbers of the Ning Family saw a group of nacing people barging in, each looking fierce and malevolent; they were instantly terrified, their faces paling.
Ning Changsheng’s face darkened as he bellowed angrily, "Who are you? Who let you in?"
The leader was a man in his thirties.
He was very tall, around one ter ninety, with a crew cut, wearing a black long-sleeve T-shirt, and below, black camouflage military pants—a commanding presence that exuded toughness.
His eyes sharp as an eagle’s, radiated an intimidating chill.
He was ng Zhen, the head of the Special Operations Group, directly reporting to the President.
ng Zhen took out a search warrant and an arrest order, placing them before Ning Changsheng. With a cold smile, he said, "Mr. Ning Changsheng, you are suspected of hiring a hitman to commit murder. Here are your arrest and search warrants; do you see them clearly?"
Hearing ng Zhen’s accusation of hiring a hitman to commit murder, a flicker of panic crossed the depths of Ning Changsheng’s eyes.
But he quickly gathered himself, feigning outrage as he roared at ng Zhen, "You’re talking nonsense. I didn’t hire any hitman; you can’t fra an innocent person, you can’t fra an innocent person..."
ng Zhen’s Special Operations Group specialized in handling the most challenging and exceptional cases.
He had seen all kinds of vicious criminals.
For suspects like Ning Changsheng, who wouldn’t confess until seeing the coffin, ng Zhen couldn’t be bothered to waste words. His face cold, he simply said, "We wouldn’t arrest anyone without evidence. Take him away in handcuffs!"
Long Lirong watched her husband being taken away, trembling all over in fright, not knowing what to do.
Ning Fengyi was also terrified, but she thought of her grandfather being arrested, and knew that with his capture, the Ning Family would be dood.
She imdiately rushed in front of ng Zhen, spreading her arms to block him, crying out as she shouted, "My grandfather would never do such a thing; you can’t take my grandfather away, you can’t!"
ng Zhen pushed her away with one hand, coldly rebuking, "Little girl, there’s a lot you don’t know. Step aside, or else, I’ll arrest you too, on the charge of obstructing official duties!"
This naive girl actually thought they dared to arrest without knowing anything?
In the past few days, their departnt had devoted all their manpower, tirelessly, in a grueling endeavor to find evidence of the Ning Family’s illegal activities. Would they co here to make arrests if they hadn’t found solid evidence?
However, they genuinely hadn’t expected the number of murders the Ning Family were involved in to reach nearly ten lives!
This ti, the Ning Family’s three generations—old man Ning, Ning Changsheng, and Ning Yu—were all apprehended, awaiting their ruthless sentence.
The Ning Family’s company was sealed. Debt collectors rushed to their doorstep one after another, snatching away their belongings to repay debts, frightening old Mada Ning nearly to the brink of a heart attack. Weng Lanlan, Ning Fengyi, and the youngest, Ning Ziyi, were all scared to tears.
The Ning Family’s won sought help from all relatives and friends, yet not a single one extended a helping hand, all avoiding them as if fearing calamity, lest they be implicated.
Eventually, the family had no choice but to sell their villa and rent a small apartnt, squeezing together.
Ning Changxiu and her husband Cao Kunluan were also taken into custody.
The Cao Family, just like the Ning Family, collapsed, eting an equally miserable fate.
All these events transpired in the span of just three short days.
Weng Lanlan, who always thought she was born with a phoenix fate, suddenly fell from a blissful paradise into a painful hell.
She still, like a madwoman, went around telling everyone that the mystical Xuan Yuan had said she was born with a phoenix fate!
Her destiny was not supposed to be like this!
Later, word of this reached Master Xuan Yuan’s ears.
Master Xuan Yuan imdiately ca out to refute the claim, stating that he had indeed prophesied that a child of the Ning Family would be born with a phoenix fate, but this child was not Weng Lanlan, and there was another.
When Weng Lanlan found out, she was so enraged she went insane.
She stord into Huguo Temple causing a complete uproar, determined to see Master Xuan Yuan, even threatening suicide to force him to reveal which child of the Ning Family was truly graced with the phoenix fate.
Master Xuan Yuan looked at her indifferently and said, "Go back and ask your elders at ho, and you’ll know."
Weng Lanlan, looking at the sneering and contemptuous crowd surrounding her, scread like a lunatic, "Ahhhhhh------"
Master Xuan Yuan watched her with eyes full of pity and finally sighed, telling Weng Lanlan, "Go back!"
Weng Lanlan, as if under a spell, instantly regained her composure, returned ho with a blank expression on her face.
Master Xuan Yuan’s disciple Wujue asked with so concern, "Master, will she be alright?"
Master Xuan Yuan shook his head, "No! Troubles linger for a thousand years, she’s not so easily hard."
Wujue followed up with another question, "Then Master, who is the prophesied child born with a phoenix fate?"
Master Xuan Yuan smiled faintly, "Her? She is none other than the fiancée of the Crown Prince! You will et her eventually; she has a certain fate with us!"
"Ah? Really?"
"Truly! Now, off you go. It’s ti for you to return to your studies!"
"Yes, Master."
...
Returning to Weng Lanlan, as soon as she returned ho, she rushed into Old Lady Ning’s room without a second thought for the cramped and shabby state of her house, seizing Old Lady Ning’s hand and demanded fiercely, "Great-grandma, Master Xuan Yuan said that the child of our family with phoenix fate were other children of our family. Tell , besides who else is there? Who else?"
Old Lady Ning’s eyes flashed sharply upon hearing Weng Lanlan’s words, "What did you say? Master Xuan Yuan said that another child in our Ning Family is born with a phoenix fate, did he really say that?"
Weng Lanlan sobbed, "Of course it’s true, I heard it with my own ears, and when I asked him who it was, Master Xuan Yuan said that if I went back and asked you, the elders, I’d know. Great-grandma, who is Master Xuan Yuan referring to? Please tell !"
Old Lady Ning’s mind raced, and suddenly a possibility ca to her; her eyes widened as she murmured, "I understand, I understand now..."
After a long pause, with trembling voice, she said to Weng Lanlan, "Weng Lanlan, go find Nurse Lin and bring her back to imdiately, right now! Go!"
Weng Lanlan, confused, replied, "Great-grandma, what do you need Nurse Lin for? Didn’t she resign and go ho a few days ago? Where am I supposed to find her?"
Old Lady Ning stared at her with an exasperated gaze and scolded fiercely, "Didn’t Nurse Lin leave an address with the family? Go to her house and find her, tell her I have sothing extrely important to discuss, and she must co over!!!!"
