Chapter 253 Ding Ning Got Caught
“Understood, brother-in-law. As long as I make the case an ironclad one, I can claim all the credit and be exempted from the punishment.”
Zhu Jian smiled happily and shouted in high spirits.
“Keep your voice down and watch your fu*king mouth.”
Feng Yuanqiao’s face changed dramatically. He violently kicked Zhu Jian’s a.s.s and reproached.
“Yes, sir!”
Smiling broadly, Zhu Jian stood upright at attention. He saluted Feng Yuanqiao in the same way as the police in Hong Gong did.
Helplessly, Feng Yuanqiao shook his head. “Hurry up and get lost. Take your time to investigate the case.”
…
Ding Ning’s face turned extremely gloomy. He heard this conversation through Xiao Cui.
At first, when Ding Ning saw Feng Yuanqiao become very angry, he thought that he was a good director. But he didn’t expect that for the future of his wife’s brother and himself, Feng Yuanqiao advised Zhu Jian vaguely to frame him.
But Feng Yuanqiao spoke very skillfully. Even if Xiao Cui had recorded this conversation, Ding Ning could not pin this on him.
Now Ding Ning could only keep an eye on Zhu Jian and figure out what methods he was going to use to frame him. Only by responding quickly and effectively could Ding Ning remain invincible.
After Zhu Jian left the police station, he didn’t immediately go to investigate the case. Instead, he made a phone call. Zhu Jian instantly opened his mouth and scolded. “Do you know that you fu*king screwed me?”
It didn’t know what the person on the other end of the line said. Zhu Jian said impatiently, “I plan to make this case an ironclad case. But this thing becomes really big now, so I can never accept the previous price. I want three million yuan instead.”
It seemed that the other person was reluctant to pay the high price. After some time of talking about the price, they agreed on two million yuan. The person should pay Zhu Jian one million yuan in advance and pay another million yuan after the thing was done.
Ding Ning’s heart finally settled down. With this recording in his hand, he was not afraid of any tricks Zhu Jian might play on him.
But he would never stop here. He wouldn’t let go of those people who secretly conspired against him. Otherwise, he would have no good days in the future.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jian was very cautious. After the phone call, he deleted the call record. He called the two criminal police to survey the scene in Blessing Gathering Club with him.
Also, he arranged several criminal police officers to arrest Gangzi and the other two persons, which greatly surprised Ding Ning. It seemed that the people who took them away did not belong to the force that framed him behind.
Otherwise, how could they still send people to arrest Gangzi and the others when they already knew that the three of them were not in the hospital?
Ding Ning couldn’t help feeling very confused. He had so many doubts about all this, but he couldn’t figure it out. Who were those people that took them away? What were their purposes?
Although he felt that nothing would happen to Ling Yun, he still called Feng Jun to protect her. If there were any accident, it would be too late for him to feel regret.
When he turned on the phone, he saw the call notifications saying that Xiao Nuo and Shen Muqing called him. He hesitated a little and chose not to call back. Instead, he sent a text message. “Thank you for your concern. I can take care of the matter. Don’t worry.”
Upon seeing the text message, Xiao Nuo couldn’t help pouting her mouth. She said in hatred. “He must have mistaken my goodwill for some ill intent. Then, he deserved to be framed. Do whatever you want. I will just leave you to yourself.”
“Hee hee, are you willing to ignore the brother-in-law?”
Xiao Nuo cursed Ding Ning with her lips but still care for him in her heart. Xiaoyao looked at her and couldn’t help teasing her.
“Great! Now you become increasingly bold. You even dared to make fun of me. Come here. Let me see whether or not your little b.r.e.a.s.t.s have turned bigger!”
Xiao Nuo’s pretty face went red, and she held out her devil-like hands to Xiaoyao’s huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s…
“Tink bell!”
Shen Muqing, who had already arrived at the entrance of Ninghai University, saw the text message. With the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, she thought for a moment and said placidly. “Sister Rui, let’s go back!”
“Ah, we are already here. Why do you want to go back now?”
Tang Rui was in the dark and asked confusingly.
“It’s nothing. I feel a little tired all of a sudden.”
Shen Muqing used the most effective move which had never failed. Without wasting any time, Tang Rui immediately headed back.
It was no joke. Shen Muqing was in poor health. If something happened to her in the car, Tang Rui couldn’t shoulder the responsibility.
In fact, since Shen Muqing began to cultivate the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit while using the breathing method, her physical condition became better and better. However, Shen Muqing did not even tell her families about that.
She even had the idea that if she kept practicing, her illness could be healed without treatment.
In the past, Shen Muqing’s greatest wish was to cure her illness and live as healthy as an ordinary person. But now, she hoped that she could never get well.
Only when she had the severe illness that only Ding Ning could cure could she rightfully met Ding Ning in the name of treating an illness. And she didn’t need to perform any d*mned engagement.
It was a very complicated idea. But actually, it was the simplest and purest idea from a girl who only wanted to be with the person she loved in the name of the illness.
She didn’t know if she would die with a broken heart when she married a man other than Ding Ning. She only hoped that the day would never come.
At least, she was still free at this time. She remembered those little things happened between them. A few days only, but it was the happiest time of her life.
Even if she couldn’t get along with him morning and night, nor could they saw each other every day, nor could she call him whenever she wanted…
But as long as she could live in the city where he was, breathe under the same starry sky, and hear the news of him occasionally, her heart would leap for joy.
There was a Nine Kilometers Bridge in Ninghai. According to the legend, an official in the Qing Dynasty wanted to visit his families in the south. He needed to go through this place. Hence, he built the bridge. The bridge was nine kilometers away from Huinan Town, Zhoupu Town, and Datuan Town respectively, whether it was the route by water or by land. Hence, it got the name Nine Kilometers Bridge.
But just some years ago, the Nine Kilometers Bridge became a scene in the Dongli Manor which was established by a great man.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard who was about eighty to ninety years old was fishing leisurely. Around the bridge, there were four men as strong as iron towers were patrolling to and fro with accountability.
Behind the old man was a girl in a yellow dress. She had a twisted braid from the back of her head to her tight b.u.t.t, which was slightly swinging and jumping with the breeze.
The woman was in her mid-20s, and she had a beautiful nose, red lips, and pretty white teeth. A pair of bright eyes of her flashed under her thick and slender eyelashes. She asked, “Grandpa, what should we do now?”
Fixing his eyes on the surface of the water, the old man remained still in the autumn wind. It seemed as if nothing could distract him.
Until the woman became anxious because of waiting, the old man uttered a word. “Wait!”
“What are we waiting for? Mr. Second has already thrown himself into the lap of Hong Junyang. Obviously, Mr. Third tends to support Uncle w.a.n.g Zhihao. Except for them, Mr. Big has devoted himself to cultivation and pays no attention to the affairs of human life. Now inside the Axe Gang, we are surrounded by many groups of vicious people. Outside, there are people from the Seventh Lord’s Mansion who cast their greedy eyes on us. Yang Kaishan was killed, which must be a move made by my uncle, who intended to wipe out Hong Junyang’s men. If we are still waiting, then they will soon come to Dongli Manor to kill.”
The woman stamped gracefully. Discontentedly, she swung the twisted braid at her quite big b.r.e.a.s.t.s and played it with her slender fingers.
The old man lowered his eyelids, and his turgid eyes looked as calm as an ancient well. He did not seem to hear her words because his whole person did not move a bit. If his white beard and hair weren’t dancing wildly in the breeze, others would think that he was just a statue carved from wood.
Seeing the old man not be swayed by her speech, the woman said angrily out of spite. “Grandpa, if you are not afraid that our ancestral property will fall into the hands of people with wolfish ambitions, then as a little woman, I don’t care about that either. Anyway, if I don’t strive for anything, they won’t hurt me.”
The old man’s eyebrows slightly raised, and he said indifferently, “But I’m not dead.”
Although the old man said flatly, his words were full of great self-confidence and power.
The woman stuck her sweet tongue out in awe and explained coquettishly. “I am not cursing you. I just want to prepare in advance.”
The old man lowered his eyelids once again, and he said indifferently. “Since the day Axe Gang was established, it belongs to the w.a.n.g family. If someday it is not owned by the w.a.n.g family, then it no longer needs to exist.”
“Humph. Do you think I cannot shoulder the great responsibility because I am a woman? So do you want to pa.s.s the Axe Gang to my uncle?”
The woman’s expression turned a bit ugly, and she said unpleasantly.
The old man’s face softened. He gently shook his head and sighed. “Yuqiu, I don’t prefer boys to girls. But it is an old rule. w.a.n.g Zhihao held on to that, which made it hard for me to deal with him. Therefore, if you want to take over the ancestral property and strive for it against w.a.n.g Zhihao, you should find a man who can help you and let him marry into our family as soon as possible before I die. Beyond that, the children you will give birth to must be surnamed w.a.n.g.”
w.a.n.g Yuqiu’s eyelashes fluttered down, and she was in an agitated mood. As the miss of Axe Gang, she was always arrogant and aimed too high. How could she take some ordinary man as her husband?
She had preserved her purity during all those past years because she was looking forward to meeting her Prince Charming who she would love at first sight someday in the future.
But when compared her own happiness with the fact that the ancestral property was going to fall into the hands of outsiders, her faith started to shake.
People from the Seventh Lord’s Mansion broke in in full fury, and the Seventh Lord was a man of outstanding ability and great ambition. When he dealt with old gangs which had firm foundations like Axe Gang, he would always choose to disintegrate the gang from within.
w.a.n.g Yuqiu’s grandpa w.a.n.g Qianye was farsighted and prudent. No one could see through his mind. But during this period, he was sick and stayed within the manor. He also neglected to take care of the things in the Axe Gang and just let his men do what they wanted to do. Then, a situation of confusion now formed.
w.a.n.g Zhihao was the son of w.a.n.g Qianye’s cousin. If he was really loyal to the Axe Gang, she was also willing to be a rich lady who could ignore the secular world and focus on enjoying life.
According to her investigation, w.a.n.g Zhihao might have secretly turned to the Seventh Lord’s Mansion, so he probably was a hidden traitor in the Axe Gang.
w.a.n.g Yuqiu’s father was hacked to death by their enemies. She suspected that it was very likely that w.a.n.g Zhihao had sold his father’s position to his enemy. That was the reason why she could not let w.a.n.g Zhihao be in power.
She also told the suspicion in her heart to her grandfather. But he reproached her and accused her of judging others without any evidence.
In these years, w.a.n.g Yuqiu had been secretly checking on him, but she felt troubled because she couldn’t find any evidence at all. Since she had doubts in her heart, she would never watch the ancestral property fall into the hands of w.a.n.g Zhihao.
Immediately, she promised while biting her teeth. “I will find a man and let him marry into our manor as fast as I can.”
The corners of w.a.n.g Qianye’s eyes twitched, and he smiled bitterly. “You cannot settle for just any man. At least, he must help you stabilize the situation inside our group. Moreover, he should be able to help you resist the pressure of the Seventh Lord’s Mansion. Otherwise, even I won’t allow him to marry you.”
w.a.n.g Yuqiu stayed quiet for a long time, and then she said firmly. “I will definitely find such a man. I will go first, Grandpa. Take care of yourself.”
w.a.n.g Qianye watched the stubborn figure of his granddaughter who was leaving, and unspeakable bitterness exuded from his eyes.
Soon, he once again focused his attention on the fishing rod, and there were only barely audible sighs reverberating in the autumn wind.
The sun at dusk shone on the two words Ninghai University, which glittered like gold, shining with eye-catching golden light.
In the setting sun, Zhu Jian walked proudly to the university with his fat belly. He showed some doc.u.ments to the guards in the gate sentry. Then, holding his head high, he led a group of heavily armed police officers went directly into the campus to find Ding Ning.
When Ding Ning was about to get on the car, Zhu Jian stopped him. Patronizingly, he showed his police officer certificate and a detention warrant to Ding Ning and said with an evil smile. “Ding Ning, you are suspected of murdering two men, Yang Kaishan and Ma Qiang from Shenzhou Country. Now please come to the police station with us…”
“Let’s go!”
Before Zhu Jian could finish speaking his words, Ding Ning took the initiative to walk to the police car with a calm face.
Zhu Jian planned to insult Ding Ning to the fullest. However, Ding Ning’s reaction made him feel depressed. He felt as if he missed his target in the end when he had acc.u.mulated all his energy to attack. Zhu Jian became so angry that he nearly spurted his blood.
He glared viciously at Ding Ning. He thought in his heart. “You will never know how I will fuc*king fix you later at the police station.” Then, he waved peevishly to his subordinates. “Search his car to see if there is any weapon!”
In the interrogation room of Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau, Ding Ning sat there meekly. With his gloomy face, Zhu Jian pounded the table violently. “Some people come here. Put handcuffs and shackles on him.”
Ding Ning cast a glance at him with a poker face. “Are you sure?”
