Chapter 257 Punishing a Man to Warn OthersAs the two deputy directors reached a tacit agreement, Ding Ning, accompanied by Secretary Xu, had already walked out of the police department.
Ding Ning was quite moved about the cooperation of Secretary Xu. Seeing n.o.body was around them, he quietly put a bottle of his hand-made pills into Secretary Xu’s pocket, saying,
“Take one pill a day, half an hour after dinner. These pills will take effect in a week.”
Secretary Xu got it instantly, revealing a broad smile. For such an embarra.s.sing matter, understanding it was enough for him. He did not thank him but only said, “Let’s keep in touch in the future.”
“Sure, I still have something to do, and I have to leave. When you have free time, let’s have dinner and drink.”
Smiling, Ding Ning greeted him and also waved to Xiao Nuo with hidden bitterness before he left.
“B*stard, you are ungrateful and didn’t have a wish to stay with me.”
Xiao Nuo only complained in a few words because she also knew this was not the right time to date. She would never give up until she found out the bad guy behind the scenes.
But she felt more and more unable to see him through. “When did he build a relationship with the secretary of the mayor? He is really extraordinary.”
In fact, Ding Ning asked Secretary Xu for help out of helplessness because he found the thing was not that simple as it seemed.
Once he thought Zhu Jian framed him under others’ instructions because of money, but when he appointed Xiaohuang to keep an eye on Feng Yuanqiao, he found an inside story.
Surprisingly, the person who wanted to hurt him was the backer of Feng Yuanqiao, named Jiang Zhongzhe, a deputy mayor, who kept a low profile and appeared cooperative about Mayor Du’s work.
But over the phone with Feng Yuanqiao, Ding Ning learned the hint that this guy was the political opponent of Mayor Du.
Ding Ning was quite confused. Why did a deputy mayor notice him and also resort to dirty tricks to frame him?
He had no communication with Mayor Du, and he only had contacts with Secretary Xu, but this should not be the reason for a deputy major to force him to a dead end.
He stopped thinking about it as he could not think it through. Anyway, now Xiaohuang kept an eye on him as his full-time job, and the secret will be disclosed sooner or later.
“Hummingbirds are a really excellent tool to follow and shoot pictures. They are absolutely surveillance masters of prying into privacies and investigating cases. When I am free, I must get several more hummingbirds and build a detective army.”
In Cuizhuxuan, Qiu Lan bore her bulging belly, sitting at the cashier’s desk with glazed eyes.
Since Dafei and her sister Qiu Hong came home, asked her to manage the place, and left. Being a pregnant woman staying at home to nourish her fetus, she became the boss of Cuizhuxuan.
She knew nothing about doing business, but luckily, the restaurant had long been standardized. The chefs, waiters, and waitresses were all responsible for their respective duties. She only needed to collect money and calculate accounts every day, and paid them a monthly salary. That was not tiring.
But she was worried about her husband and sister. She didn’t know what on earth had happened to them, and how they left so hurriedly and did not speak of their returning date.
Now she could not even get through the phone. Then, she was anxious.
As he left, Dafei specially told her that if she felt tired, she could stop the business or sell the restaurant. Anyway, they were not short of money.
But he especially told her that she must open the business tonight because some people of the underworld would be negotiating in the restaurant, and that she should take care of herself and go home as soon as nearly all the people had come.
Currently, underworld bosses had come one after another, with each followed by a large retinue.
In the hall of the restaurant, gangsters with hair of different colors, fancy dresses, and different hairstyles huddled at the over 30 tables, but the round table in the center was only occupied by four people.
A curly-haired, white-faced young man with his legs crossed; a big, happy-looking man weighing nearly 150 kg; a youth with a punk-hairstyle; a whiskered man with braids.
Surprisingly, the hall accommodating over 300 people was quiet, filled with a strong suppressing air, apart from the clangs of bowls and spoons as people lowered their heads to eat occasionally.
“Everyone should have come?” Qiu Lan muttered silently, ready to leave with her handbag. If their negotiation was unsuccessful and they fought, it would not be good if the child in her belly was hurt.
“What’s wrong? Come or not? He asked us to negotiate, but he puts on airs like this.”
The curly-haired youth poured a gla.s.s of beer for himself and spoke a little impatiently. He was small, but now his voice appeared exceptionally loud.
“You may leave if you don’t want to wait, but I wish you could still sit with us to drink at the same table next time.”
Fat Buddha glimpsed him and spoke sarcastically.
The curly-haired youth glared, and the subordinates behind him stood up abruptly.
The subordinates behind Fat Buddha were not scared, either. They all stood up and glared, waiting for their boss’ order to fight.
A fight was about to break out anytime. The air was filled with much fury.
Tang Chengdong held his shoulders with a faint sneer at his mouth, ready to watch a drama.
The whiskered man did not look at anything else. He kept biting a whole lamb’s leg that had just been taken out of the pot as if he could not see anything else other than the leg.
Seeing that Fat Buddha was not afraid, the curly-haired youth narrowed his eyes slightly. “Fat Buddha, what do you want? Do you want to fight and test our power?”
Fat Buddha took a sip of tea slowly. “Abao, I reminded you out of a good heart. Don’t forget the fate of Boss Yang!”
“Humph, it is still difficult to tell who killed him. Even if it is Guo Jianglong, but I’ve heard that he has been arrested by the police. I’m afraid he won’t show up tonight.”
Abao said he did not care, but he slowly sat down, having no courage to leave early.
“He will come. If he doesn’t, Master Yun will.”
Using a small knife to cut his nails slowly, Tang Chengdong spoke calmly.
“I’ve heard Boss Tang’s powerful man Black Dragon was disabled by someone, but he went to lick the man’s shoes. It is really admirable.”
The whiskered man finally laid down his lamb leg, but he ridiculed Tang Chengdong as he spoke.
“F*ck you, Batulu, what are you talking about?”
Before Tang Chengdong spoke anything, the subordinates behind him stood up suddenly, shouting at Batulu.
Batulu’s subordinates were not scared, standing up to shout back. A fight was about to break out anytime.
Qiu Lan didn’t know what to do as she was ready to leave now. Once these men stood up, they blocked her way.
She had to huddle behind the cashier’s desk, silently praying they wouldn’t fight for whatever reason.
“Everyone, please sit down. We are chatting. Don’t be angry!”
Tang Chengdong didn’t care about the man’s words and waved his hands, and his subordinates unwillingly sat down.
Batulu also waved his hands. “Well, don’t argue with these vulnerable chicks. When the chance comes, we can fight against them face to face. By then, we can abuse them.”
“Bullsh*t, barbarians from the gra.s.slands! Go back to your gra.s.slands. Ninghai is not the place for you guys to throw a tantrum.”
Tang Chengdong’s subordinates were infuriated, standing up to shout.
“Ninghai’s barbarians, don’t just chirp. If you dare, let’s fight. It is useless to attack with words.”
Batulu’s subordinates looked unfriendly, standing up to shout ceaselessly.
“Enough, everyone, sit down!”
Tang Chengdong’s face turned serious. He hit the table hard with his palm, and the Small Swords Society’s members unwillingly sat down again.
Tugging at his greasy whiskers, Batulu waved his hands sarcastically. “Well, don’t argue with such a small gang! It is not worth it.”
Instantly, the Black Knife Camp’s members roared with laughter and sat back triumphantly.
“Oh, you are really marvelous!”
A sarcastic woman’s voice came. An extremely beautiful lady walked in from outside the gate, closely followed by two expressionless men.
Qiu Lan looked at the three people curiously. The lady was exceptionally gorgeous, especially her long legs, which made up over half of her height. It was the absolute golden ratio. Qiu Lan was beautiful, but she felt ashamed before her.
The two men behind her, however, gave off a fearsome air, which she felt from Dafei. She was unafraid of it and even vaguely felt intimacy from it.
She opened her eyes wide to see what was happening. She even forgot to leave in advance.
“Who is this lady? Does she come for negotiation? Such a beautiful woman is in fact a boss of the underworld. It is really rare.”
“Gee, the little girl is beautiful indeed. Come, let me fly you in bed. I guarantee I can make you fly.”
Abao was a playboy, loving to flirt with good women. Since Ling Yun was so beautiful, he began to tease her at once.
“You did dare to disgrace Master Yun! Go to h.e.l.l!”
Before Ling Yun gave orders, Feng Jun had suddenly launched an attack furiously.
Everyone only felt the flash of a shadow and heard a bang, but Abao had flown backward without resisting ability and hit a table of dishes hard, his mouth with blood and his eyes with terror. Holding his chest, he looked with fear at Feng Jun, the man who attacked him.
The entire hall was so quiet that the sound of breathing was inaudible.
Tang Chengdong’s mouth revealed a smile, but he was a little shocked that Master Yun was a woman. As he studied Ling Yun, he stood up hurriedly, showing his att.i.tude.
Fat Buddha’s eyes twitched, but his face was with a friendly smile. Swiping off the sweat on his forehead, he stood up hurriedly.
Batulu’s eyes turned cold, staring at Feng Jun, but he was astonished, silently measuring his ability with Feng Jun’s. Subconsciously, he stood up.
Feng Jun was expressionless as if he had done a trivial thing. Taking out a white handkerchief and swiping off the non-existent dust on the unoccupied chair, he said respectfully, “Master Yun, please sit down!”
“Everyone, please be seated!”
Ling Yun nodded with a reserved smile. That was her greeting to everyone.
Truth be told, her heart beat rapidly, and she was quite nervous. Anyway, these guys were all influential bosses living around the college town.
At this moment, they all stood up to greet her like welcoming a queen, making her anxious and excited.
Fortunately, she had led Gangzi and other brothers to negotiate with the punks from the outside many times before, and acting was the only ability she had learned.
She took up a teacup and sipped to cover up her nervousness. In others’ eyes, she was calm. A woman who did not blink at the previous conflict was absolutely a person who had experienced events.
Silencing for a while, Ling Yun became more and more nervous because she found everyone was staring at her.
“They are but rubbish before you. Don’t disgrace your husband, and face it with the air Master Yun should have.”
Thinking of that arrogant message Ding Ning sent her, she suddenly became calm. “It is only a few bosses. Compared with my husband, you are but small, disgraceful punks.”
Besides that, Feng Jun and Lu Zhan were closely protecting her. What should she fear?
Looking around gracefully, she stared at Abao, who was glaring at her, his face turning blue and red. Showing ridicule on her lips, she asked, “What? You are not convinced?”
Tang Chengdong and Fat Buddha were a little shocked. They never thought the young, legendary Master Yun had a bad temper. “Punishing the guy to warn others should also be reasonable.”
