Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: No Matter What, I’m Happy

Xu Huizhen is particularly heavyset now.

She wasn’t tall to begin with, and on top of that, she’s eaten herself into a plump figure.

Even if not exaggeratedly like a round ball, she does seem short, stout, and round.

Yet, this weighty Xu Huizhen was being picked up effortlessly by Zhao Gushen’s men, holding her arms like it’s nothing.

Her legs were flailing in midair, but it didn’t help a bit.

Moreover, her hands were the only ones untied.

Her mouth was still sealed shut.

She was directly carried away by two men.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm!" Xu Huizhen couldn’t resist, so she turned to look at Ye Ning.

But what good does it do to look at Ye Ning now?

Ye Ning was still tied up.

Ye Ning looked at Xu Huizhen in panic, "Mmm mmm mmm!"

Let her go.

But coming out as mmm, nobody could understand.

Xu Huizhen was taken away just like that.

Leaving Ye Ning alone in the room.

But Zhao Gushen and his men were still numerous.

When Ye Dezhang and Li Xiaoyun were here, Ye Ning was scared, but still felt somewhat secure inside.

Thinking with her parents here, even in real danger, she could rely on them.

Ye Ning didn’t realize this problem.

But actually, no matter your age.

Middle-aged, with children, even children reaching the age to start a family.

But as long as parents are around, there is peace of mind, a sense of having a fallback.

You are still your parents’ child.

Even when parents grow old and no longer stand as tall.

No longer walk as briskly.

But there’s always a feeling of, should heavens fall, parents shielding you.

Yet once parents are gone, there’s no retreat.

You are merely someone else’s parent, not a child.

You can only support children, with no parents to lean on.

There’s even a sense of glimpsing the path ahead.

Crossed that barrier, awaiting life’s end.

Ye Ning can’t see the end of her life now.

After all, she’s still young.

But having Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen around, she didn’t feel this frightened.

Now, Xu Huizhen and Ye Dezhang are taken away.

She’s left here alone.

Ye Ning experienced a bit of panic, like the sky falling, with no parents around.

Missing them terribly.

Wanting them back.

"Last time, interfering when Ye Fei was en route to compete." Zhao Gushen said, "You did it."

Ye Ning shook her head, shaking fiercely.

"Mmm mmm!" Ye Ning denied.

She did it, but she can’t admit!

This time, must never concede.

"At this point, do you think I’m asking?" Zhao Gushen was nearly driven mad by Ye Ning’s foolishness.

"I’m telling you a fact, not verifying." Zhao Gushen said, "I have evidence of what you did."

Ye Ning anxiously strained forward.

"Take the tape off." Zhao Gushen ordered.

The sidekick promptly stepped up, tearing the tape from Ye Ning’s mouth.

After being stuck for so long, the tape had adhered tightly.

Suddenly ripping it off, along with some fine hair around the face and mouth.

The lips, being taped too long, swollen from the abrupt pull.

Now, from lips to surrounding area, including both cheeks; all are red and severely swollen.

Due to tearing, cheeks and mouth sting fiercely.

Like being singed by fire.

But now Ye Ning couldn’t bother about that, she only denied, "Not me, I didn’t do it!"

"I said, I’m not verifying, or asking you." Zhao Gushen stated.

He reached to the side, receiving a file from the sidekick.

Zhao Gushen dropped it piece by piece at Ye Ning’s feet.

There were photos, texts, even recordings when Ye Ning contacted those people, played by Zhao Gushen.

Ye Ning’s face turned pale, just leaving redness and swelling at lips and cheeks, exaggeratedly comic.

"I’m already sure, it’s you who did it." Zhao Gushen pronounced.

Ye Ning shivered in fear, blood turning cold within, jolting her.

Even teeth clattering.

"Since you have evidence, why not call the police? Arrest me?" Ye Ning said in a forced calm.

Zhao Gushen scoffed, "Do you really wonder?"

"What do you want?" Ye Ning nervously asked.

"Why did you stop Ye Fei?" Zhao Gushen asked.

To Ye Ning, unless forced in absolute desperation, divulging Zhao Guqing was impossible.

Otherwise, Zhao Guqing along with Zhao Gushen would both target her.

So, it’s not loyalty, but fear of revealing Zhao Guqing.

"Just didn’t want her to compete." Ye Ning said.

"Her not competing, what’s the benefit to you?" Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow.

"No benefit, just can’t stand her doing well." Ye Ning coldly retorted, "As long as it’s against her, anything makes me happy."

"If she can’t compete, doesn’t stand out. Of course, she might say, she never wanted to stand out; just passionate about cooking." Ye Ning mocked, clearly disbelieving, thinking Ye Fei feigning.

"Even if true, for someone ’passionate about cooking’, unable to compete, do what she loves, how painful is that?" Ye Ning wondered.

"Can’t compete, supposed to be her contest, she missed it, failed agreements. While mentor and teammates are there, strategy altered, team filling.hrr, team difficulties from her error."

"At such an important contest, such mistake appeared. If whole team lost, it’d be her fault." Ye Ning now seemed a bit desperate, reckless.

Even dared to raise her head, looked directly at Zhao Gushen, "Thus, I found people to stop her."

"I want her as team’s ruin, dragging everyone down, never raising head again."

"Since childhood, she’s excellent, better student than me; at school, teachers and classmates say we’re sisters, yet entirely different. Ye Fei praised everywhere, a favorite in teachers’ mouths."

"Always hearing, ’Look at your sister’. Classmates noticing me, pointing, murmuring, why as sisters my sister excels, I’m poor scholar, always final ranks."

"Even saying I just know romance, no serious matters, clearly unserious."
