She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 959: Chapter 1009: Arousing Suspicion

"And what else is important? Isn’t it just teasing a woman? It’s no big deal, but he was actually detained."

"He teased Ningning." Meng Ping yelled impatiently.

"Damn." The little fat man stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face. "Who gave him the courage? Is he crazy?"

"Yes! If I had known, I’d have let him rot in there." Meng Ping said viciously.

"Serves him right. You wouldn’t think someone who’s been abroad would be that shameless. Boss, are you sure we won’t regret recruiting him?"

"We won’t." Meng Ping nodded seriously, "Teasing Ningning means he has good taste, and having that kind of guts means he’ll meet my expectations in the future."

Running the One Weekly magazine, if he wanted to do well, he had to hire professionals. Previously, he poached a few people from other newspapers, and after hearing his opinions, they all got scared and ran off that very night, not one dared to take the job.

Some outright refused after hearing that the scandalous photos that caused a storm last time were his doing.

Truly a bunch of shortsighted people, creating magazines with outdated ideas. It’s just a matter of time before they get eliminated.

The little fat man looked up to him with utter admiration, "Boss, you’re just amazing."

"Stop flattering." Meng Ping sat across from the little fat man, putting away his nonchalant demeanor, and said seriously, "Today at the police station, I met a woman, her gaze was quite strange when she looked at me."

"Strange?" The little fat man speculated, "Maybe it’s a woman you dumped?"

Before he finished speaking, he received a murderous glare from Meng Ping, "Haha... Boss, my bad. I know you’re living a clean life now, practically turning into a monk."

"The women I’ve been with wouldn’t feel that unfamiliar." Although he really couldn’t remember faces, but the woman just now definitely wasn’t the type he’s known before.

Seeing him so unusually serious, the little fat man didn’t dare make random jokes, but instead asked carefully, "Boss, what do you think was strange? Tell me, and I’ll help you analyze."

"At first glance, she seemed very familiar, very surprised, yet also conflicted and a bit terrified."

"... That’s... so complicated?" His brain couldn’t keep up! How to analyze this?

"But her later reaction seemed like she mistook someone."

The little fat man casually said, "Then she must have mistaken Brother Meng Fan for you."

Speaking unintentionally, but listened with intent. The little fat man’s words were like a lightning bolt across Meng Ping’s mind, "She’s from the Southern area, and my brother only went to the Southern area once."

"Y-Yes... That’s right!" The little fat man carefully refrained from saying more.

Meng Fan only went to the Southern area once and stayed for three years. He went alive and returned dead, the little fat man vaguely remembered the bright red national flag draped over Meng Fan’s coffin.

"You go check, keep an eye on that woman, and the person she bailed out from the police station."

"Alright, I’ll get on it now."

Meng Ping sat on the sofa, his hands trembling so much he could barely hold the cup.

In the evening, Sheng Ning returned from a wild outing with friends, and immediately sensed something was off upon entering the hospital. The security had tightened significantly. Passing by Sister Guo’s nurse station, she noticed Sister Guo staring off into space.

"Sister Guo, I brought you something to eat." Sheng Ning brought back some sugar-roasted chestnuts, one for Xu Qigang, one for Sister Guo.
