Chapter 11 Blockade of Pingchuan City

• It was clear that Lu Zheng misunderstood the relationship between Ning Feng and An Ran.
• But Ning Feng didn't explain, he just whispered a few words in An Ran's ear, "Wu Jie, I still have something to discuss with Director Lu. I'll come find you later."
• An Ran nodded. She glanced at Ning Feng, her younger brother who had left Pingchuan City for ten years and now seemed even more mysterious.
• But An Ran didn't question him either because, like Ye Jinqiu, she unconditionally believed in Ning Feng.
• Watching An Ran leave, Ning Feng withdrew his gaze.
• "Director Lu, I need to borrow the archives room of Pingchuan City Television Station."
• Lu Zheng nodded. He had absolute obedience to Ning Feng.
• Having spent three years in the southern border, Lu Zheng had witnessed Ning Feng leading the Southern Military Region, stationed at the Nanjiang Defense Line, and winning numerous battles, stabilizing the three provinces of the southern border. He knew very well that this man was not as simple as he appeared.
• Returning to Pingchuan City quietly this time, he must have a mission.
• "No problem, please follow me."
• Lu Zheng led Ning Feng out of the office and took the elevator all the way up to the top floor where the archives room of Pingchuan City Television Station was located.
• After completing the procedures, Lu Zheng led Ning Feng inside.
• Inside the archives room, apart from some archived materials of news events and personnel files, the rest consisted of the archives of Pingchuan City Daily and Pingchuan City Television Station. Every issue of the newspaper and every episode of the television station had been archived for decades.
• Ning Feng moved box after box of newspapers from ten to fifteen years ago, five years in between, and placed them on a table.
• "Alright, Director Lu, I can handle it myself."
• Lu Zheng tactfully left the archives room, leaving Ning Feng alone to browse through the newspapers.
• ...
• 8 PM at Pingchuan City News Station.
• A news report about the forced demolition by the Song Corporation was broadcasted. In the video, several demolition workers were waving steel rods at the reporters violently.
• In the office of the Song Corporation.
• Song Hui crushed the cup in his hand.
• Nancheng Orphanage, it's Nancheng Orphanage again!
• Now he was certain that all of this was a conspiracy. Ye Jinqiu's husband was targeting him!
• Attempting to take Nancheng Orphanage and tarnish the reputation of the Song Corporation.
• Then Wan Ning Corporation would take the opportunity to demolish Nancheng Orphanage and take over the land in Nancheng, waiting for the World Trade Center to be built!
• "Ye Jinqiu, this despicable person!"
• Song Hui was filled with hatred.
• "Inform the public relations department to handle it well. Just say that the forced demolition was done by an outsourcing company and has nothing to do with the Song Corporation. We strongly oppose forced demolitions!"
• "In addition, contact the snakehead, find an opportunity to teach that guy surnamed Ning a lesson!"
• Song Hui raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. His secretary nodded and left the office.
• ...
• Pingchuan City Television Station Archives Room.
• Ning Feng held a cigarette in his mouth, with several newspapers laid out in front of him.
• He used his phone to take pictures of several news articles.
• Smoking was not allowed in the archives room, so he could only hold the cigarette in his mouth to satisfy his craving.
• To outsiders, these news articles might seem insignificant, but to Ning Feng, these little clues might confirm the truth behind the bankruptcy of the Ning family fifteen years ago.
• The first news article: Pingchuan City's leading technology company, the Ning Corporation, signed a hundred billion contract with Suzuki Heavy Industries from Dongying.
• The second news article: Conway Group was established, with Suzuki Investment Group holding a hundred percent stake.
• The third news article: The cooperation between the Ning Corporation and Suzuki Heavy Industries failed, leading to bankruptcy and auction.
• The fourth news article: The ancestral home of the Ning family caught fire, and all seventeen family members perished.
• At that time, when the Ning Corporation signed a hundred billion contract with Suzuki Heavy Industries from Dongying, it had undoubtedly made many competitors envious. Just when everyone thought that the Ning Corporation would become the leading technology company in the country with this contract!
• The cooperation failed because the products produced by the Ning Corporation did not meet Suzuki Heavy Industries' acceptance criteria.
• Billions of dollars in costs turned into a backlog of products in the warehouse. The Ning Corporation's financial chain broke, and after seventy-one days of agony, it declared bankruptcy.
• But just at this time, Conway Group appeared and aggressively acquired the Ning Corporation's factories, employees, and technology patents.
• It was as if they were devouring the colossal Ning Corporation.
• After everything settled, the former vice president of the Ning Corporation, Su Kaishan, transformed into the chairman of Conway Group.
• Ning Feng slammed his fist on the table!
• No wonder the people who tried to kill him back then spoke so strangely!
• It turned out that they were not people from Jiuzhou Country, but a group of people from Dongying.
• The infiltration of Pingchuan City must be closely related to Conway Group.
• Ning Feng put the newspapers back in place and left Pingchuan City Television Station.
• He took out his phone, checked the time, took a puff of his cigarette, and made a phone call.
• "Inform the Pingchuan City Military Region to block the urban area of Pingchuan City from today onwards. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
• "Inform the Pingchuan City Investigation Team to enter Conway Group, investigate thoroughly, check the accounts, check the people, check the business, check all related companies, summon Su Kaishan, and seal off the Conway Group building!"
• Ning Feng was filled with a sense of hostility. He took a drag of his cigarette and hung up the phone.
• After ten years of hiding, he had been waiting for this moment. Whether it was Su Kaishan or Suzuki Heavy Industries that caused the bankruptcy of the Ning Corporation, he would settle the score!
• Even if this matter had nothing to do with Su Kaishan, the fact that he occupied the ancestral home of the Ning family was enough to expose him!
• Standing on the roadside of Pingchuan City Television Station, a Jinbei van suddenly stopped beside Ning Feng.
• "Brother, can I borrow a lighter?"
• A man with a scar on his face got off the van, holding a cigarette in his hand.
• Ning Feng lit the lighter, and the scar-faced man took a drag and exhaled slowly.
• "You're Ning Feng, right?"
• Ning Feng frowned. There weren't many people in Pingchuan City who knew his name, and those who could call out his name just by seeing him were even fewer.
• "I am Ning Feng."
• The scar-faced man nodded with a smile. Behind Ning Feng, two big men carried sacks and put them over his head.
• Ning Feng was about to resist, but he thought for a moment and didn't make a move.
• He needed to figure out who was targeting him.
• Gu Hao?
• Su Kaishan?
• Or Song Hui?
• "As long as we haven't mistaken the person, throw him in the car and take him to the casino."
• The scar-faced man sat in the passenger seat.
• The two big men tied Ning Feng up and threw him into the car. The Jinbei van creaked and started driving.
• It took about half an hour before Ning Feng felt the car stop.
• "Get out!"
• The scar-faced man took off the sack from Ning Feng and pressed him down, walking towards a small hotel in the distance.
• Ning Feng looked around. This should be the outskirts of Pingchuan City.
• Entering the small hotel, the scar-faced man took Ning Feng directly into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement floor.
• When the elevator opened again, a smell of smoke hit them. The bright lights made Ning Feng feel a bit dazed. Beneath this small hotel, there was actually an underground casino.
• "Take him to the manager's office. Snake Brother wants to see him."
• The scar-faced man threw Ning Feng to the side. He couldn't understand why they needed him to bring four of his brothers here for just this little chicken.
• He could have brought Ning Feng back alone.
• Ning Feng looked around. Being pushed into a room in the corner, he saw a bald man sitting on a boss chair. In front of him, a man was kneeling, his eyes red and his head lowered.
• "Brother Snake, lend me some more money, lend me some more money, I promise I can turn things around!"
