Chapter 1194 "It's Not Her"

Yi Ningjing shook my hand friendly, "Mrs Gu, you're too polite."
"Let's start from tomorrow, familiarize yourself today." Gu Tingchen spoke again.
"Of course, I'll go and busy myself first." Yi Ningjing left the office.
Looking at her figure, I felt a bit complicated. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
"I know what you're thinking, but it's always good to be cautious. It never hurts to investigate."
Turning to Gu Tingchen, I caught his deep gaze and nodded.
As the lights began to shine, we arrived at Haitian Restaurant.
Despite its unimpressive name, this is actually the best restaurant in the entire city in terms of cuisine, and the prices are moderate. Many companies choose to hold their gatherings or annual meetings here.
In the private room, Yi Ningjingshan arrived late, saying, "I'm sorry, I was dealing with a project and came late."
"It's okay, Director Yi, please have a seat." I smiled and then instructed the waiter to start serving the dishes.
Gu Tingchen raised his glass first and toasted to Yi Ningjing, "I want to thank Director Yi for your help to my wife this morning. Let's all drink this glass together."
Without any pretense, she quickly finished her drink along with Gu Tingchen.
She should socialize often and be good at drinking, so it's not surprising that she is so straightforward.
"Yes, really thank you, Director Yi. Where do you live?" I asked in doubt.
People who come here usually either because they enjoy the tranquility or because they live in the northern part of the circular road.
Easily replied with a smile, "Yes, I bought at North Circle One."
She hardly hesitated and told me directly.
"Beihuan No. 1 has only been open for the past two years, but the people who bought it are not young, or perhaps they are just looking for an investment or a retirement home. I didn't expect Director Yi to live there." Gu Tingchen said casually, but it contained a profound meaning.
He had a piercing gaze, while Yi Ning was calm and composed. "I enjoy peace and quiet. The area is slightly suburban, rarely frequented by people, and it's convenient for my research. I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I used to live in a foreign country where I received warnings for making too much noise during my research. So I started choosing more secluded places to live, just to avoid disturbing others."
Easing down, Yining spoke with a gentle and steady pace, which made her sincerity feel genuine. Perhaps we were just being too suspicious.
Just as I was about to speak, Gu Tingchen spoke first, "Director Yi, aren't you afraid of retaliation for offering your help? After all, in today's society, it's not that peaceful."
"Of course, I am scared, but since I encountered it, I couldn't just ignore it. Moreover, it was just stopping a car, so it's not a big deal. But if it were other dangerous accidents, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage." Yi Ningjing said and covered her mouth with a light laugh, she was speaking common sense.
"You are right, Director Yi, I am really grateful this time."
"To avoid further questioning from Gu Tingchen and to avoid an awkward atmosphere, I quickly spoke up."
"After this meal, I developed a slightly better impression of Yi Ningjing as a person."
On the way home, Gu Tingchen asked me, "How do you feel?"
"Just a coincidence, I guess. What she said is not wrong." I reduced my suspicion towards Yi Ningjing.
Gu Tingchen didn't say anything, and the next moment, Li Qing called.
"Chief Gu, I found it," Li Qing paused, and I heard the sound of pages flipping. He seemed to be reading some materials and then continued, "It is Li Nian."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at him and said, "We misunderstood them."
Gu Tingchen smiled lightly, "It's always good to be careful."
I nodded, but I felt a little guilty in my heart...
