Chapter 136 - Analyzing

Mu Chen patted Song Ning's hand. "Don't worry, I'll deal with it."
Song Ning said softly, "Is it someone who doesn't want me to attend the film festival, or is it some overzealous fan who…?" She could not finish her sentence.
Mu Chen wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said, "Don't let your imaginations run wild. All of us are here for you. No matter who they are or what their motives are, I won't let them succeed…"
Song Ning nodded.
…
When they returned home, everyone was still in shock.
Jiang Jin patted her chest to comfort herself. "What's the reason for this? Mu Chen, have you called the police?"
Mu Chen placed his hand on his grandmother's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Grandma. We've already called the police. I've also told them to keep a tighter watch on Cloudy Peak and patrol the area more often…"
Jiang Jin said, "From now on, it's best that you personally drop Song Ning off to work and pick her up after work. No matter what their motives are, we can't let our guard down…"
Song Ning did not want Jiang Jin to worry so she said reassuringly, "Don't worry, Grandma. It's possible that they made a mistake and mistook me for someone else. I don't have many friends so I don't think I'd have such a radical enemy. Don't worry."
Jiang Jin remained quiet. She knew there were ways to do things discreetly.
On the other hand, Cheng Che was still interested in Song Ning's needles. "Sister-in-law, your kungfu is really amazing! You must teach it to me; I promise I'll practice diligently."
Song Ning chuckled. "Actually this needle belongs to Jiahui.
"Huh?" Cheng Che was surprised.
Song Ning said, "When we first started learning acupuncture, she had the idea of using them for self-defense. However, the needles we usually use for acupuncture are thin and can't pierce through clothes. Therefore, she especially found someone to forge these needles. The first day she showed them off, the Professor confiscated them from her. She tried multiple times to steal them back but was discovered by the professor. After that, the professor secretly gave it to me for safekeeping to avoid Jiahui causing havoc with them. It's been in my bag all this time. I found they're actually quite useful today. Cheng Che, you better don't tell her about this. Otherwise, she'll definitely cause trouble."
Cheng Che admired Jiahui even more. It seemed like both of them had the same thinking.
With this the matter was over, Song Ning led Sister Yu to organize the ingredients they bought as Jiang Jin joined them.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Cheng Che went to the study room.
Mu Chen asked, "What do you think?"
At this moment, Cheng Che's smile had vanished from this face. He said solemnly, "I've already asked my men to investigate. They're just street thugs with no connections to anyone. Nevertheless, I'm sure it has nothing to do with those overzealous fans. Not many people know sister-in-law will be making an appearance during the festival…."
Mu Chen frowned. "So what you're saying is someone wants to prevent Song Ning from participating in the film festival?"
Cheng Che was stunned. "If this is truly the case, we can easily narrow down the suspects."
Mu Chen smiled faintly. "It won't be difficult to find the culprit since the pool of suspects is small. It has to be either the Fu family, the Ning family, or the Ye family. I'm certain it's not the Fu family since they're unaware of her role in Yi Yao. Otherwise, they would have blown this matter up a long time ago. This leaves us with the Ning family and the Ye family."
Cheng Che nodded. "Brother, Ye Cheng's influence has already spread into the city. He also has a chain of fitness centers under his name. It's the most suitable for raising subordinates. Moreover, the Young Master of the Ning family has grown incredibly close to him recently…'
Mu Chen frowned. "What's his motive?"
Cheng Che sighed. "I don't know what's wrong with Ning Zhe. Back then, for the sake of this son, he didn't hesitate to divorce his wife. Even after marrying the mistress, he's not good to her as well. He seems like he doesn't care about his son at all. Strange, right? Young Master Ning is gloomy. Not only is he timid, but he's often bullied as well. The Ning family has never stepped forward to resolve this matter for him. Due to this, they had given Ye Cheng an opening. Ye Cheng isn't someone who does a good deed without expecting things in return after all.
"He wants to cooperate with the Ning family to enter the textile and clothing industry, "Mu Chen said nonchalantly.
Cheng Che was puzzled. "Isn't he in politics now? Why is he so greedy. Isn't he afraid that stretching his hands so far might backfire on him?"
"Ye Chen is stuck in a quicksand. He has no choice," Mu Cheng said indifferently.
"Brother… it seems you're quite sympathetic toward him…" Cheng Che said as he rolled his eyes.
"I'm just stating facts. I have a feeling Ye Cheng doesn't have a hand in this matter. It's not his style to act this way. In my opinion, the culprit is likely Ye Xin. She knows Song Ning is Ning Xia. Although there's no news that Song Ning would be attending the film festival, she's probably worried.. Therefore, she's probably doing everything she can to prevent Song Ning from attending the film festival."
