Xiao Nuo restrained her inner grief, and quickly turned back into the former cool beauty. Her frosty aura of keeping people a long distance away made Ding Ning feel guilty and blame himself.
The members of Sharp Sword were keenly aware that Xiao Nuo had turned back into the icy G.o.ddess from the gentle and pleasant little woman. They couldn"t help but shudder and subconsciously kept a long distance away from her.
"Xiao... Captain Xiao, I have reported it to the superior, but he ... he disagreed."
Lan Yang walked back quickly, and said dejectedly with his face darkening.
"Isn"t this witness very important? Why does the superior disagree?"
Xiao Nuo who was in a bad mood said in a freezing cold voice with rage spurting out of her eyes.
"Because, the superior said... said that we should send Monkey to the hospital for rescue, don"t... don"t..."
Lan Yang minced his words, looked down guiltily and did not dare to look at others after hesitating several times.
"Don"t believe my nonsense, right?"
Ding Ning was not surprised, and said with a calm face.
"Sorry, I have argued with my superior, but it doesn"t work. I..."
Lan Yang nerved himself to look at Ding Ning, his eyes filled with apologies.
"How come? Monkey is also a person who needs to be saved and an important witness. How can they do this?"
Xiao Nuo trembled and said. It seemed that she was slightly incapable of accepting the cruel reality.
"It"s not hard to understand. Monkey may have been a very important witness before. However, after they heard that you"ve caught the two gangsters, Monkey became less important. Of course, it is not worth paying such a big price to save a person who has lost his value. Send Monkey to the hospital and leave his life up to G.o.d, captain Lan, right?"
Ding Ning seemed to have expected such a result. He said lazily and gave Lan Yang a sharp look.
The Lan Yang bowed his head in shame. It was not exactly the original words of the superior. The superior had skillfully made it vague, but it was what he meant. Besides, He doubted Ding Ning"s ident.i.ty as a doctor.
Now the truth was revealed by Ding Ning, which made him feel ashamed and his face turn red. As a professional soldier, he should take protecting every citizen as his own responsibility. He had argued strongly, but his superior turned down his suggestion by ruthless saying "obey the order".
Xiao Nuo"s face was ashen. She knew that Ding Ning was right from Lan Yang"s behavior.
With a snort, she took out the satellite phone and walked away without glancing at Lan Yang. It seemed that she was talking emotionally to someone over the phone.
At the moment, the members of Sharp Sword had already placed the two unconscious gangsters on the Brave Warrior as ordered. Monkey was left on the ground alone like an abandoned orphan who was unattended.
Ding Ning looked calm, standing in the same place. After answering a call, he stared at Monkey with complicated feeling.
It wasn"t until Xiao Nuo cracked the phone and her face was so gloomy as if there was water dripping out of it that he whispered into her ear, "Do you want to save him?"
"Do you have a solution?" Xiao Nuo didn"t know why she completely trusted Ding Ning while subconsciously resisting him a little. On hearing his words, she glared at him with her frosty eyes.
"Although I don"t really like skinny monkey, he is my neighbor and a person who needs to be saved. I am a doctor. How can I do nothing to save him?"
Ding Ning lowered his voice, seeming to be compa.s.sionate.
But in fact, he was not so kind. It had nothing to do with him whether skinny monkey could survive or not.
However, he had just answered a call from Ling Yun. With plenty of people who had watched Monkey turn himself in and admit his guilt of car theft, the videos of it had been uploaded to the Internet.
After hearing Ling Yun"s narration of what had happened after he left in the afternoon, Ding Ning had a clear picture of the whole thing in his mind.
Monkey had got some evidence, which attracted the killers" attention and made them want to trace him and kill him. He met Ding Ning in panic. It might be out of his professional habit or he had found that Ding Ning was a car thief. Anyway he stole the car key from Ding Ning and used it as an excuse to turn himself in so as to seek the protection of the police.
Ding Ning didn"t know that Monkey took advantage of the enemies" psychological inertia of the dark area under the light and had been hiding in the community to dodge the enemies these days. Last night, he accidentally saw Ding Ning drive a Toyota Prado back. At that time, he thought the toyboy Ding Ning had snagged another rich woman, and secretly envied Ding Ning.
Of course, Ding Ning did not care how Monkey knew that the car was stolen by him. However, what Monkey did accidentally help him solve the troubles caused by the car theft case.
Especially when Ling Yun excitedly told him that the car had exploded under the attack of the killers and it was no longer possible to extract any traces left by them on the car, it made Ding Ning feel completely relieved.
But at the same time, Ding Ning felt that he owed Monkey a big favor. He did not consider himself a kind person. Nevertheless, his father had taught him since his childhood that he must be thankful for small mercies.
Therefore, Ding Ning decided to save Monkey"s life without hesitation and considered it a payback for his helping them solve their troubles.
Besides, Xiao Nuo was obviously a special policewoman who had excellent professional ethics and did not follow the rules. He could include her in the rescue plan and make her a witness afterwards.
Of course, Ding Ning would never admit that he was subconsciously reluctant to leave Xiao Nuo and wanted to be alone with her.
"What"s your plan?"
As Ding Ning expected, Xiao Nuo was a good policewoman who truly respected lives. She left her inner grief aside and could not wait to ask with faint excitement on her face.
"You can drive a helicopter, right?" Ding Ning gave an irrelevant answer, while secretly sighing that she really was a person who would not follow the rules.
"Of course, I am a special policewoman, specializing in driving various vehicles. I can even drive a fighter, not to mention a helicopter."
When it came to the field that she was good at, there was a hint of pride in Xiao Nuo"s expression.
"Good. When the helicopter comes to send Monkey to the hospital, we hijack the helicopter and make it fly directly to Diannan Province to find the Bamboo Gra.s.s Rauh & Barthlott to save Monkey."
Ding Ning told Xiao Nuo his daring plan.
"Ah?" Xiao Nuo suddenly opened her mouth wide. She didn"t expect that Ding Ning would come up with such a crazy plan. It did not frighten her, but made her excited and eager to have a try.
"How do you know that the superior will definitely send a helicopter to send Monkey to the hospital?"
Xiao Nuo was not a brainless person. Saving a person"s life was as urgent as fighting the fire. Although Ding Ning"s plan sounded crazy, it was the most effective way to save Monkey. But they could implement the plan only if there was a helicopter. How did Ding Ning make sure that the superior would definitely send a helicopter to send Monkey to the hospital?
Ding Ning gave an irrelevant answer with a sneer, "Do you know what is being a prost.i.tute while wanting to establish a memorial arch of virtue?"
Xiao Nuo suddenly realized. That"s true. Cars ran wildly on the street, alongwith an incessant gunfight. He couldn"t hide this thing at all.
Although in someone"s eyes, Monkey was considered to be irrelevant, he still needed to do some superficial work to cover up his ruthless nature.
For example, he would send a helicopter to take Monkey to the hospital for rescue. If Monkey died from ineffectual rescue, he could explain it to the public, "We even sent the helicopter out, so we should not be blamed for his death."
After understanding this, Xiao Nuo looked at Ding Ning with astonishment in her eyes. What kind of person was this guy?
Besides his incredibly nimble skills, he was also as detail-mined as an old fox. Did he have any relationship with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d?
"Xiao Nuo, wake up. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn"t put you in his heart at all. Stop thinking about him. You should not keep thinking of the guy you"ve decided to let go. If you did not take Ding Ning as him and think he came over to save you, you"ve already let go, right?" Xiao Nuo said to herself.
There was a trace of gloom on Xiao Nuo"s face, but she quickly returned to normal. She said calmly,"It"s a felony to hijack a helicopter. You are not afraid of that?"
Ding Ning did not notice the change of her expression. He provoked her like before by squinting at her and saying, "What? Are you afraid of that?"
Xiao Nuo"s forehead bursted with blue veins. "f.u.c.k, you said that you have nothing to do with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You even provoke me in the same way. However… I am into such a trick."
She said in anger, "There is nothing to be afraid. At Worst, I will be fired and stop working as a special policewoman."
"Good, women are not outdone by men. I admire you!"
Ding Ning smiled like a little fox with hypocritical flattery between his eyebrows. It made Xiao Nuo roll her eyes, and her charm made Ding Ning"s heart ripple.
Lan Yang jealously watched them whisper "intimately", drooping his head dejectedly.
The police car that had been left behind finally caught up with them and asked about the situation.
The members of Sharp Sword had been deceived by their "fellows". At this moment, they surrounded the two suspects and Monkey as if confronted with a formidable enemy, and did not allow the policemen to approach.
The policemen were very upset. "We"ve done hard work even if we have not performed meritorious deeds. We won"t take any merit from you. Is it necessary to protect the suspects so seriously?"
The policemen looked at Xiao Nuo to seek help. After all, Xiao Nuo was their fellow.
Xiao Nuo waves to the policemen and said with a poker face, "Now the suspects have been arrested, and we are waiting for fellows sent by the superior to take them over. Don"t get close, and just do a good job in peripheral security."
"Yes!" The policemen responded in a low spirit and spread out to guard them.
In fact, it was an industrial park which had just been developed in the northern suburbs of Ninghai. There were very few cars pa.s.sing by, so there was no need to guard.
However, the members of Sharp Sword did not dare to be careless at all. They kept vigilantly observing the surrounding as if confronted with a formidable enemy. After all, the snipers sent by the enemy even dared to kill people on the street. Who could guarantee that they would not do something desperate after the suspects were arrested?
As the rumbles of the helicopter came from midair, the helicopter landed directly on the gra.s.sland without people by the road, and two soldiers carrying a stretcher came down from it.
"Stop, show your certificate and identification paper!"
Once bitten, twice shy. Lan Yang who had been deceived faced them vigilantly with a gun in his hands.
A middle-aged man in a white coat came down from the helicopter and showed his certificate, "Han Xi, military doctor from Ninghai Military District General Hospital."
After carefully examining the certificate, Lan Yang quickly stood at the salute, "It turns out to be Commander Han. Sorry I didn"t recognize you!"
Han Xi said with a modest smile, "Captain Lan, you"re welcome. I am just a civilian cadre which is incomparable to you."
Lan Yang scratched his head in embarra.s.sment, "Commander Han, no offense. We"ve been deceived by someone who pretended to be a fellow, so we are careful."
Here is a brief introduction to the military t.i.tles. Most of the military doctors are civilian cadres. Some of them also have military ranks, but there are a few of them. The military ranks are generally divided according to professional technical positions and professional technical grades.
Civil cadres can only be regular employees in the units at the military level and above. Professional technical cadres in the combat, experimental, and training support armies below the division level are called professional technical officers. Except for not being granted military t.i.tles, their ident.i.ties are the same as those of military officers.
Civilian cadres and military officers can be transferred to each other according to the job demand. The civilian cadres who are transferred to be military officers are granted the corresponding ranks according to their duties.
The civilian positions are divided into 14 levels. Platoon is the 14th level, deputy company is the 13th level, company is the 12th level, deputy battalion is the 11th level, battalion is the 10th level, and so on.
Han Xi was a military doctor at the professional technical eighth level which was equivalent to a civilian cadre at the lieutenant level. Lan Yang was only a captain, and should naturally give him a salute.
