Chapter 280 I Raise YouXiao Nuo thought Ding Ning came here to vent anger for Ling Yun. So, she felt jealous. But when Ding Ning said he suspected it was Liu Junwei controlling everything behind the scenes, she was stunned at once.
“Liu Junwei? How come?”
Ding Ning asked confusingly, “You know him?”
“Initially, I didn’t know him, but once I heard Director Qi mention him inadvertently.”
Xiao Nuo hesitated but told Ding Ning the truth. “Do you still remember we hijacked a helicopter to Diannan last time?”
“Yes, I do, how can I forget it?”
Ding Ning spoke softly. It was the journey to Diannan that made the affection of him and Xiao Nuo complicated and confusing. How could he forget that?
Xiao Nuo’s eyes lost focus for a moment, recalling that Ding Ning carried her on his back walking a long distance in Diannan. That solid happiness was printed into her bones, and she would never forget it.
“That time, it was Liu Junwei who made the decision to give up Monkey. For this, he was punished. Now, he was still on holiday.”
“What? Liu Junwei’s decision? Are we talking about the same person? The Liu Junwei I am talking about is a businessman. What right did he have to make the decision?”
Ding Ning stopped moving his hands and spoke unbelievably.
“I have never paid attention to this person. If Director Qi hadn’t mentioned him inadvertently, I wouldn’t have known him. According to Director Qi, Liu Junwei was a Ph.D. in psychology graduating overseas. With excellent intelligence a.n.a.lysis, he served as the Division Chief of the Intelligence Division of the National Security Bureau. Last time, he was in charge of the operation to rescue Monkey.”
Xiao Nuo was also quite confused and didn’t know if they were talking about the same person.
An idea flashed across Ding Ning’s mind. If the Liu Junwei Xiao Nuo mentioned was that Liu Junwei, everything could be explained smoothly.
Liu Junwei made commanding mistakes and decided to give up Monkey, but since he did something tricky to the two kidnappers and they couldn’t wake up, Monkey became the most important witness.
For this, Liu Junwei was punished and suspended to have a long holiday. His future was sure to be affected.
But Monkey was rescued by him, and Liu Junwei might have hated him because of this. As a member of the National Security Bureau, he must have known his background information clearly. So, he approached Ling Yun, hoping to revenge him through her.
So, he didn’t really understand how he had offended Liu Junwei. If he knew this, he found the answer.
Liu Junwei was an overseas returnee and also a Ph.D. in psychology. His career was a businessman, but if he also had an undercover career as a member of the National Security Bureau, all the things would be reasonable.
Although there was no final confirmation, Ding Ning was sure the Liu Junwei Xiao Nuo spoke of was that Liu Junwei who wanted to hurt him.
When he thought that Liu Junwei was also a member of the National Security Bureau, Ding Ning had a headache instantly.
He couldn’t tolerate him anymore and had decided to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, but now, knowing he had another job, he had to give up this idea.
After all, the National Security Bureau was a special department of the nation, and it would investigate any case in which its members died. Ding Ning could not guarantee after he killed Liu Junwei, the bureau wouldn’t find any traces.
Xiao Nuo frowned and said, “If the Liu Junwei is the person who trapped you, you are in serious trouble.”
“This is not fair at all. Initially, we really did a good deed to rescue Monkey, but now I am being trapped by him. Do I need to wait to be hurt without doing anything?”
Ding Ning spoke sullenly.
Xiao Nuo thought for a few moments. “As a member of the National Security Bureau, Liu Junwei dares to revenge an ordinary person. Such a person must not stay in the bureau. I will report to my leader. But everything you said is but a guess. If we can find evidence, that will be much better.”
“This is the reason why so many people commit crimes fearlessly. As long as they make prudent plans and work carefully, it is hard for others to get the evidence.”
Coldness flashed in Ding Ning’s eyes. Liu Junwei had trapped him several times, and he couldn’t tolerate him anymore.
But Liu Junwei was very prudent, with every plot calculated carefully. Even if Ding Ning guessed it was him, but it was very hard to get his criminal evidence to bring him to justice.
In fact, even if the evidence proving he was the culprit behind the scenes was found, it was still very hard to make him admit his crimes. After all, he used Chu Yunxiu’s greedy character to seduce her to gamble insanely.
Such a person lurking like a snake in the dark would give him a deadly bite anytime, making him feel like there were needles on his back. Since he couldn’t sleep or eat at ease, he must destroy him as soon as possible.
His killing intent flashed and vanished, but Xiao Nuo perceived it with her sensitive nerves, warning him carefully, “Don’t mess around. He is a member of the National Security Bureau. If he is dead, the bureau is bound to investigate carefully.”
“Do I look like such a person? I am a very good citizen, an excellent young man.”
Holding her slender waist, Ding Ning grinned and said.
Xiao Nuo’s delicate face turned red. She looked shy and snapped coyly, “Stinking rogue, you took liberties with me again.”
She said she was angry, but her body didn’t resist at all. On the contrary, she held his waist, snuggling closely in his arms. What an act of intimacy!
When he felt her softness closely against his chest, Ding Ning unrestrained his emotions momentarily.
Xiao Nuo perceived his physical change and blushed, with her heart beating rapidly. Hurriedly, she broke free his arms.
Ding Ning gave a shy and dry smile. “Natural reaction.”
Xiao Nuo panicked, lowered her head to look at the floor, and changed the subject with her dry tongue. “So, what are you going to do with the Qian Family?”
“Both you and Xiaoyao have come. What else am I going to do?”
Ding Ning was a little gloomy but said, “Qian Le also joined this scheme. I know the Qian Family is Xiaoyao’s relative, so I decided not to investigate further. Showing me a good att.i.tude was enough, but the family didn’t regret it at all and even took 50 million from me. Out of anger, I made serious trouble in the casino.”
Xiao Nuo bit her lips lightly, feeling hard to decide. The Qian Family really crossed the line, but they were Xiaoyao’s relatives, and she could not ignore her close friend’s feelings.
After thinking for a while, she was still hesitant. “Let’s do it this way. I ask Xiaoyao to come in; let’s discuss how to deal with it. Since Qian Le dared to trap you, we cannot let the Qian Family off without a lesson.”
Feeling Xiao Nuo’s defense of him, Ding Ning felt his heart was turning warm. Taking her hand, he stared at her emotionally. “You are really nice.”
“If you feel I am nice, break up with Ling Yun.”
Xiao Nuo nearly melted in his deep eyes. When his mouth nearly reached her lips, she blurted out these words impulsively.
Ding Ning turned stiff all over, his hands holding her frozen in mid-air, his eyelids drooped down. He was silent.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Nuo suddenly felt sour, with tears nearly running out of her eyes, but she stopped them, turned proudly, and smiled lightly. “I am joking, never mind.”
Glazed, Ding Ning looked at the gloom in her eyes that flashed and vanished. In a moment, he was terribly upset. Either Ling Yun or Xiao Nuo, he didn’t want to give anyone up.
Whether he was criticized as a greedy man, a sc.u.m, or a man with strong possessiveness, this was his truest idea.
But with pride, how could Xiao Nuo share her beloved one with another woman? Ding Ning had a wry smile. He really thought too much.
The atmosphere turned depressing and embarra.s.sing again. Ding Ning changed the subject and said, “Nuonuo, why are you still wearing your uniform at such late time?”
“Hard to tell. A world-cla.s.s jewelry auction will be held in Ninghai on the National Day. The most important item is the work of the Master of the Divine Burin who created a new school of carving in the jade sector, and even the world’s top jade carving masters also highly appreciate him. A few days before the auction, a jewelry exhibition was held, and collectors and top rich people from all over the world swarmed in. It is said that the total value is more than 10 billion yuan. Some news pieces said that a few international thieves entered Ninghai, hoping to steal these auction items. Also during the peak tourist season, Ninghai must be overcrowded. The city leaders attach great importance to it, requiring our public security system to ensure the smooth progress of the auction, so as to maintain the public security environment of Ninghai. As the chief of the criminal police, I have no choice but to take responsibility. I myself will need to lead our team as protectors, to ensure the safety of the exhibits and also no major criminal cases occurring during the National Day holiday, in order to maintain Ninghai’s international city image.”
Xiao Nuo had a headache and rubbed her temples, and her tired look made Ding Ning feel sorry.
But he really never thought the jade item he casually carved had become so sensational that even the world’s top rich people had arrived.
He couldn’t help holding her in his arms and said softly, “Why do you work so hard? You don’t lack such small sums of salary.”
“What, you feel sorry? If I don’t work hard to earn dowry money, can you raise me?”
Xiao Nuo snuggled in his arms, sensing his sorry feeling. She felt the sweetness but said harshly.
“If you are willing, I will raise you for a lifetime.”
Ding Ning spoke without the slightest hesitation.
“Humph! You already have a girlfriend. You still want to raise me? You want me to be your mistress?”
Xiao Nuo became serious, broke free of his arms with her hands, and said jealously.
Ding Ning was embarra.s.sed and said shyly, “I knew Ling Yun before you. How can I dump her because of you? If I did so, I would not be the Ding Ning you like.”
“Who likes you? Narcissist!”
Xiao Nuo hit his chest twice coyly, with her eyes turning. “If I become your mistress, will you really raise me?”
“Well, don’t tease me. If you became my mistress, the sun would rise from the west.”
Ding Ning knew himself quite well, giving a wry smile.
A mischievous look flashed in Xiao Nuo’s eyes. “If I don’t become your mistress, will you be willing to raise me?”
“Of course, even if we were only friends, as long as you need help, I would help you too.”
Ding Ning spoke earnestly.
“Humph, it sounds you have a conscience.”
Xiao Nuo was satisfied, smiling. “Now I need you to raise me.”
“Okay, tell me, want houses or money? Just say it, I won’t refuse.”
Ding Ning always felt he owed her a lot. Even if she said she wanted 10 billion, as long as he had, he would never hesitate.
Xiao Nuo was a little moved and looked at him. Hesitating for a moment, she said a little awkwardly, “Xiaoyao graduated from Harvard Business School and wants to open a cosmetic company in Ninghai. She likes the scar cream you gave me last time and wants to use it as her main product. Is it okay?”
“Scar Cream?” Ding Ning knitted his eyebrows tight, without a word.
Xiao Nuo thought he was unwilling, showing disappointed eyes, but she forced a smile. “If not okay, I never said it.”
“No, I never said not okay, but the scar cream I made for you was with the strongest effect. It is made of all kinds of rare medicinal materials, and its cost is too high, not suitable for making products.”
Seeing Xiao Nuo was a little disappointed, he explained hurriedly, “Just now I was thinking about how to use ordinary medical materials to replace the expensive ones. Though it needs a longer time to remove scars, it must be much better than those on the market.”
“Ah, you promised?”
Xiao Nuo looked at him, surprised.
Seeing her smile, Ding Ning rubbed her head in a pampering manner, joking, “I said I would raise you. How could I refuse?”
“Good, this is your word. It’s a deal. How many shares do you want?”
Xiao Nuo finally completed the entrustment of her grandfather and father, asking with a happy smile.
