C240 I will Give You the Truth

Although Tao Ning had directly rejected Shi Dingliang, Shi Dingliang's assistant quickly appeared in front of her and took Tao Ning to the meeting place.

Aurora Bar.

Tao Ning could already feel the hustle and bustle inside when she was still outside the door. When she went in, she instantly felt that she was drowned in the hubbub and explosive music.

Tao Ning frowned and rubbed her throbbing temples. She was a person who did not like noisy people. Plus, she did not sleep well these two days and the blow of her father's accident was too much for her to bear.

She felt that all the sounds went into her head and then because it was too crowded, it seemed like it was going to explode.

Just like that, she followed behind the assistant in a daze and came to a room. The assistant suddenly stopped and turned around to say to her, "Miss Tao, Mr. Shi is already waiting for you inside!"

"Is that so?" Tao Ning was surprised that Shi Dingliang came too quickly.

She pushed open the box and walked in. Sure enough, she saw a man wearing a cap sitting on the sofa. He held a bottle of wine in his hand and seemed to be about to drink it. But his gaze seemed to have been cast in the direction of the door, which was why Tao Ning had just appeared. He immediately put down the bottle of wine in his hand and got up to walk towards Tao Ning.

Because he pulled the brim of his hat too low and the light in the room was not clear, Tao Ning walked all the way until he came close. She saw his smile and confirmed that he was Shi Dingliang.

"Ning, your expression is not very good. Quickly sit over there." Shi Dingliang said as he protected Tao Ning and walked to the side of the sofa. His words carried some shame. "Actually, you should not have chosen such a noisy place. It is just that you are afraid that people will recognize you..."

Before agreeing with Tao Ning, the assistant had repeatedly instructed him by his ear. It was fine to come out, but you must not let anyone recognize you. Especially when he was with the girl. Later, on the phone with Tao Ning, he heard her mention fans. He also knew that this concern could not be ignored.

Even if he did not consider himself, he should also consider Tao Ning. At present, she already had a huge headache because of her father's matter. He really could not give her any more trouble in her heart.

"It's alright. I am already very grateful that you are willing to help me." Tao Ning sat on the sofa and shook her head at him.

With his current status, he was willing to help her at the risk of being secretly filmed. She already did not know how to thank him. Although it was a bit noisy here, it was much more convenient to talk here. It also helped to conceal her identity.

"Ning, as long as you need me, I will be by your side at any time." Shi Dingliang sat beside Tao Ning, his eyes never turning away from Tao Ning. That burning gaze made people feel warmth even if they were in a world of ice and snow.

If she was still the same Tao Ning who had never experienced the world before, she would definitely be moved. If Gu Zhengchu did not appear later, perhaps her relationship with Shi Dingliang would not be so awkward now.

"Anyway, thank you." Other than thanks, she did not seem to be able to use other words to express the complex emotions in her heart.

"You said you have a way to help my father, is that true?" Knowing that his time was precious, Tao Ning quickly cut to the chase. She also wanted to know how to save her father.

"I think there is only one way to save uncle. Find evidence that uncle was wrongly accused. But before that, we must find the mastermind and know the purpose of his actions." Shi Dingliang knew that Tao Ning was anxious, so he did not beat around the bush and told her what he thought about the whole matter.

"The mastermind..." Repeating this word, a person's face appeared in Tao Ning's mind, "I think I might know who it is, but I am not sure if it is really him yet."

Tao Ning forced herself to abandon the image of that person in her mind, it might not be him. She told herself in her heart that she seemed to have obtained some comfort, but her mood did not improve because of this.

"Who is it?" Shi Dingliang was surprised. He did not expect Tao Ning to know who the mastermind was. But looking at her reluctant expression, it seemed that she was unwilling to say that person's name.

"It was an intern policeman in the police station who told me it was Gu. He is a very famous person in Huating." Why did she specify the identity of the person who told her about this? Was it to pave the way for her later words?

Tao Ning took a deep breath and continued, "I guess it might be Gu Zhengchu. I also saw the video of Anjie entering the police station from that policeman. But, I can't just say that this was done by Gu Zhengchu because of this, right?"

After saying this, Tao Ning buried her head. She was afraid that Shi Dingliang would see the guilty look in her eyes. Her heart was trembling. Even she felt that such words were deceiving herself. However, there was still a kind of obsession in her heart. She hoped that this was fake.

"Then, do you think that Gu Zhengchu was wrongly accused?" Shi Dingliang's gaze was still on Tao Ning. Every change in her expression could not escape his eyes.

She was clearly protecting Gu Zhengchu. What right did Gu Zhengchu have to be trusted by Tao Ning when he had such conclusive evidence against him?

"I don't know. I really want him to be wrongly accused, but I also want to save dad as soon as possible." Tao Ning held her aching head with both hands and buried it in her knees.

If possible, she really wanted to escape from these two problems that were already intertwined.

Tao Ning's pain was reflected in Shi Dingliang's eyes, and it was exceptionally eye piercing. His hand lightly patted her back as a form of comfort. He solemnly promised Tao Ning, "Ning, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. I will not let you continue to suffer like this."

If it was really Gu Zhengchu who did it, then as long as Gu Zhengchu's true face was revealed, not only could he save Tao Ning's father, he could also make Tao Ning completely give up on Gu Zhengchu.

At that time, Tao Ning would return to his side and no one would be able to take her away.

"What will you do?" Hearing his words, Tao Ning finally regained some rationality. She knew that no matter how painful and sad she was now, it would be useless. As long as the truth was unearthed, she would be able to find a way out for herself at that time. No matter what kind of way it was.

"I will put the truth in front of you" Shi Dingliang met Tao Ning's gaze and answered very firmly.

Tao Ning heard it very vaguely, but before she could ask more, Shi Dingliang called. Shi Dingliang did not know what the other party said, so he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to comfort Tao Ning, "Ning, you do not need to worry too much. I will go and visit uncle tomorrow."

"No need. Your current identity is not suitable..." Furthermore, those people do not need you to see father.
