The crowd continued to argue, with everyone suggesting they should take Ning Shi to the police station.

Ning Shi wasn’t afraid, thinking that if she went to the police station, she would prove she was indeed Ning Shu’s sister.

So, she said firmly, “Well, take me to the police station, then! Once we get there, you’ll see that what I’m saying is true.”

Seeing how determined Ning Shi was, the crowd hesitated for a moment.

Ning Shu calmly said, “I’ve already sent someone to call the police. I don’t know you, so don’t cause trouble here.”

“Okay, we’ll wait for the police then,” Ning Shi thought to herself.

Once the police arrived, Ning Shu wouldn’t be able to deny her identity.

She would make Ning Shu compensate her.

After all, it was because of Ning Shu that she had been sent to the countryside.

Now, there was no way to undo the past, so it was only fair for Ning Shu to make it up to her, right?

What kind of compensation would she want?

She wanted a nice house to live in, just like Ning Shu.

She also wanted a stable government job, and of course, she expected Ning Shu to pay her some money.

As for the rest, she’d figure it out later.

Ning Shu, meanwhile, was cheerfully daydreaming.

She occasionally glanced over and saw Ning Shi greedily eyeing her surroundings.

Ning Shu couldn’t help but snort inwardly at her.

The police didn’t keep everyone waiting long and arrived quickly.

The police station wasn’t far, and hearing that there was an issue at Ning Shu’s shop, they hastened their steps.

As soon as the police arrived, before anyone could speak, Ning Shi approached the officers and said, “Officers, here’s my identification letter. My name is Ning Shi, and I’m the sister of Ning Shu, the owner of this shop.”

The police received a report about a disturbance at the shop, but they were not aware of Ning Shi’s situation.

Upon hearing that she claimed to be Ning Shu’s sister, they maintained a polite attitude: “Hello, comrade.”

They didn’t say much more but looked toward Ningshu, who was inside the shop. “Comrade Ningshu…”

Ning Shu, having noticed them, came out. “Police comrades, I’m really sorry for troubling you. It’s just that this woman has been pestering me here. I suspect she may be part of some illegal group trying to harm me.”

When the police heard this and realized that Ningshu didn’t recognize Ning Shi, they became more serious.

They turned to Ning Shi, “Comrade, who are you? What is your business with Comrade Ningshu, causing such a disturbance?”

As a representative of private enterprises, a world champion’s mother, and the wife of a high-ranking military official, Ning Shu’s status made the police very cautious, especially as they didn’t want anything harmful happening under their jurisdiction.

Ning Shi immediately retorted, “Police comrades, don’t listen to her nonsense. I am her sister, not some stranger. Here’s my introduction letter. She’s lying.” She handed the letter to the police.

The police were puzzled.

Since Ning Shu had claimed not to know her, could she really not recognize her own sister?

Still, they accepted the letter.

It was from the village’s team leader in the countryside, stating that Ning Shi had come to the capital for a family visit.

After reading the letter, the police said to Ning Shi, “The letter confirms your name is Ning Shi, but even if you are Ning Shi, you can’t keep pestering Comrade Ning Shu. If you are truly her sister, how could Comrade Ning Shu not recognize you?”

Ning Shi didn’t expect the police to speak this way. “Then ask her! Is her father not Ning Dahu? Is her mother not Hu Wenjing? Does she not have a pair of older dragon-and-phoenix twins and a pair of younger ones? Is her twin sister not named Ning Shi?”

The police looked at Ning Shu. “Comrade Ningshu, you say you don’t know her, but she insists she’s your sister. And everything she said about your family, what do you think?”

Ning Shu smiled faintly. “My father is indeed called Ning Dahu, my mother is Hu Wenjing, and I do have a pair of older dragon-and-phoenix twins, as well as younger ones. My twin sister is indeed named Ning Shi…”

Hearing this, the police and others couldn’t help but wonder if Ning Shi really was Ning Shu’s sister.

But that didn’t make sense either—Ning Shu had clearly said she didn’t know her.

“But,” Ning Shu continued, “I went to the countryside when I was sixteen, in 1966. It’s been sixteen years since then, and Ning Shi was only thirteen or fourteen at the time. I haven’t seen her in all those years. How could I remember what she looked like? You all know my husband is a soldier, and my son is an athlete. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that someone could pretend to be Ning Shi and try to sneak into my family.”

Seeing Ning Shu’s cautious and defensive attitude, the police and others began to understand.

With so many spies and bad actors around, and considering Ning Shu’s family situation, it wasn’t unthinkable that someone might have ulterior motives.

The police became even more serious. “Comrade Ning Shu, don’t worry. Until we verify her identity, we’ll take her away for investigation.”

Ning Shu nodded gratefully. “Thank you so much. I trust you to handle it. I remember when my three sons once mistook an old lady for a human trafficker and brought her to your station. You thoroughly investigated and cleared the lady’s name, so I believe you can sort this out too.”

The police didn’t expect Ning Shu to remember such an incident.

One of the officers smiled and said, “We serve the people. We won’t let any bad person escape, and we won’t wrong an innocent one. We’ll leave now, and we’ll come back with news once we’ve investigated further.”

Ning Shu replied, “Okay.”

“You—what do you mean by this? What do you mean?! I’m not a bad person, I’m not a spy! I really am Ning Shu’s real sister! Ningshu, you bastard! You have no conscience, you…” Ning Shi yelled furiously.

But no matter how loud she screamed, it was of no use.

The police took her away.

Ning Shi didn’t run earlier because she believed her identity could stand up to scrutiny.

If she had run, it would only have made her seem guilty.

But even now, being detained, she was still furious.

Ning Shu, however, wasn’t concerned about her at all.

If Ning Shi dared to cause trouble, she would quickly send her straight to the police station.

This was one of the advantages of having a famous husband and son.

All Ning Shu had to do was express doubts about someone’s motives, and the police would act.

After all, Lin Guodong was the head of a commune, and there were intelligence agents who might try to approach him to gather information about the military.

Additionally, since Er Bao was a world champion, there might be individuals from other countries envious of China’s achievements in international competitions and wanting to harm him.

The police would need time to investigate Ning Shi’s identity, and they’d also have to check with the Ning family, which would take more than a couple of days.

This would give Ning Shu some peace and quiet.

By the time Ning Shi was released, she would probably come back again, but Ning Shu would be ready to deal with her then.

For now, Ning Shi had been dealt with, and Ning Shu was in a great mood.

She couldn’t help but wonder how Ning Shi had found her.

But that was a question the police would be able to answer once they conducted their investigation.

Over the years, Ning Shu’s business in group buying had been thriving, and the money she earned was enough to buy a traditional courtyard house in the capital.

She had been planning to make the purchase, as the real estate prices were only going to rise further.

At the same time, her app was undergoing constant upgrades.

The products she used for the app upgrade were ones she secretly acquired herself.

She bought them and operated the upgrades in the car, as she didn’t want others to know about it.

That was why her app updates were slower than expected.

Ning Shu’s group buying shop operated from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and then again from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, for a total of 8 hours a day, with one day off each week.

This schedule was very popular with her employees.

Ning Shu usually worked at the shop, but she would leave around 4:00 PM each day to go home and prepare dinner.

The number of people eating at home fluctuated.

Apart from Er Bao, who was away at school, Yi Bao was also living at school now, as students in the gifted program had to board.

Their schedules were incredibly busy.

So, for dinner, only Ning Shu, Lin Guodong, and San Bao were present.

San Bao was especially happy about this.

That evening, Ning Shu shared the situation with Ning Shi and told Lin Guodong about it.

San Bao was listening quietly, as he had never been to his maternal grandmother’s house all these years.

As he grew older, he understood that his mother and maternal grandmother weren’t very close.

Now, hearing his mother mention it, his two ears were listening very attentively.

“Do you want me to send someone to investigate?” Lin Guodong asked.

“No need,” Ning Shu said nonchalantly. “She’s not as smart as Ning Qin. After a few reprimands, she’ll know to behave.”

Since Ning Shu said it like that, Lin Guodong didn’t press the issue.

However, privately, Lin Guodong contacted Yu He.

He was familiar with the police station since Yu He’s father was the deputy director of the local police department, so he asked him to make a few calls.

In fact, as Ning Shu had anticipated, Ning Shi’s identity was confirmed a week later.

Once her identity was verified, Ning Shi was released.

The first thing she did after being released was to go to the group purchase shop to find Ning Shu.

There was no other way.

She couldn’t get into the compound, and if she waited at the gate and Ning Shu saw her and went in, what could she do?

So, she had no choice but to go to the shop to find Ning Shu.

Once again, a scene erupted.

Ning Shu called the police again, claiming that she suspected Ning Shi had been in contact with special agents trying to disrupt her private business and affect national policies.

She was detained again, and after a few more days, released.

When Ning Shi was released the second time and came back again, she invited Ning Shu into the office at the shop.

After talking for a while, Ning Shu stepped out for a moment.

When she came back in, she pretended to have lost some documents.

Naturally, she called the police again.

As expected, Ning Shi was arrested once more.

This cycle continued a few times, and Ning Shi finally realized that she was no match for Ning Shu.

Ning Shu was doing it on purpose.

Moreover, in the capital, where Ning Shu had extensive connections, who knew how long she would be detained the next time?

In the end, Ning Shi left in defeat, and she never appeared again.
