Chapter 1843: Knocking the Car
Of course, Little Ran and her family members would not say anything. When they heard that Little w.a.n.g was sending the boss to the airport, they took the initiative to cancel the dinner. They also told Little w.a.n.g that work was more important, and they could have the family dinner at any time!
Although this statement was true, Little w.a.n.g was deeply moved. It was not like this when he was in the security team. Let alone delaying a family dinner because of work, Little Ran’s parents would even complain when they heard that he was working overtime. He earned a meager salary but still had to work overtime. It was not promising.
This difference made Little w.a.n.g cherish this hard-won job even more. Previously, he had driven the company car to the resort. Although Yang Ming didn’t say anything after seeing it, Little w.a.n.g had made up his mind to never again use the company car for personal affairs when he returned.
Little Ran also understood this well and informed her parents. They also agreed vehemently. After all, taking a taxi was not a problem considering Little w.a.n.g’s current monthly salary.
“Brother Yang, are we going directly to the airport now?” Little w.a.n.g asked respectfully after helping Yang Ming to load his luggage in the trunk of the car.
Yang Ming’s carry-on luggage was just a backpack, which contained two clothes for was.h.i.+ng and a laptop. Yang Ming did not need to bring too many things on this trip as it was not a holiday. Just the necessities would be sufficient. Moreover, as long as he had money, he could directly buy anything that was missing.
Just as Little w.a.n.g, traffic was backed up on the expressway. Little w.a.n.g got out of the car to ask about it. It turned out that there was a chain reaction accident involving three large trucks. Not only were the vehicles seriously damaged, but their goods were all over the ground as well.
It was uncertain how long it would take for the expressway to be cleared again, and Yang Ming was catching a flight. Little w.a.n.g had no choice but to turn the car and go against the traffic on the expressway road. Fortunately, all the cars on the expressway on this side were waiting in line, so it was not too dangerous. Little w.a.n.g drove back from the emergency lane.
Of course, this was possible as they had just entered the expressway road. If they had gone too far, it would be hard to return.
Some waiting drivers were a little surprised to see Little w.a.n.g’s car drive against the traffic back to the toll station. But based on the current situation, it might be the best solution. This expressway from Song Jiang to Donghai had been newly resurfaced this year. But there was another old road they could take to reach their destination. Although the road was b.u.mpier, there were relatively few large trucks. After the expressway was opened, the old road was rarely congested.
However, could they pa.s.s through the toll station by driving backwards? Little w.a.n.g’s license plate was not a privileged number, but a random number plate chosen by Bao Sanli. Yang Ming wanted to keep a low profile so he had requested this. If it was like his BMW, it would be too eye-catching.
Most of these drivers also knew some privileged car numbers, but they were a little surprised when they found that Little w.a.n.g’s car number plate was not one. A taxi driver even reminded him kindly, “Brother, you can’t get out even if you drive against the flow of traffic to the toll booths. They might even fine you! Just line up! ”
“I have no choice. My boss is in a hurry to catch a flight, and I can only go this way.” Little w.a.n.g smiled and nodded to the driver brother, “Thank you!”
As soon as the driver brother heard that they were catching a flight, he also knew their anxious mood. Anyway, they could just get off at the expressway intersection and leave the car there. Getting fined was ok as long as their important matter was not delayed.
Sure enough Little w.a.n.g’s car was stopped when they reached the toll station entrance. The toll station’s administrator also notified the traffic police on duty nearby.
Little w.a.n.g’s car number was ordinary, but Bao Sanli gave him doc.u.mentation and a permit for an armored cash escort vehicle. Little w.a.n.g initially thought that he would get special permission by handing these over the traffic police would earn him special permission, but unexpectedly the traffic police who came didn’t buy it.
This permit was issued by the city police department, but it was applicable for armored cash escort vehicles. The traffic policeman noticed that Little w.a.n.g’s car was an Audi A8, so he obviously thought that Little w.a.n.g was one of those rich people who obtained the permit through private connections. After all, this car model couldn’t be used to transport banknotes.
Little w.a.n.g returned to the car with a dejected face and lamented to Yang Ming carefully, “Brother Yang, I’m sorry. I thought it was okay, but now something is wrong. The traffic police will not let me go…”
Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. However, when Little w.a.n.g was about to go against the traffic, Yang Ming didn’t stop him, so he couldn’t simply blame Little w.a.n.g. Although Little w.a.n.g wanted to abuse the special privilege, he just wanted to ensure Yang Ming didn’t miss his flight.
So Yang Ming just nodded, “We’re already at the expressway intersection. I’ll ask Xiaolu to send me from here.”
“Then do I need to tell Brother Bao and see if he can find someone…” Little w.a.n.g was ashamed to continue.
“No need. Just accept the fine. After all, you have violated the rules. It is not wrong for you to be fined. You can get a refund on the fine amount from Xiaolu later.” Yang Ming waved. It was not worthwhile to contact everyone for this trivial matter.
“Okay… Thank you, Brother Yang…” Little w.a.n.g knew that apologizing wouldn’t help him now. Furthermore, Yang Ming didn’t seem to blame him at all, so Little w.a.n.g was relieved.
I really messed things up with my good intentions! Little w.a.n.g took his driver’s license from the car and got off to wait for the traffic police to issue a ticket. The car might need to be detained for going against the traffic. In addition, the traffic police suspected that his permit doc.u.mentation was false and wanted to verify it with the internal police department.
Yang Ming got out of the car and walked towards the expressway entrance with Little w.a.n.g. Little w.a.n.g walked towards the police car parked on the side, while Yang Ming called Jing Xiaolu as he walked.
The call was connected, but Jing Xiaolu hung up not long after. Yang Ming frowned. Jing Xiaolu rarely misses my call. What happened this time? Just when Yang Ming was confused, Jing Xiaolu texted, “I’m holding a middle-level leaders.h.i.+p meeting in the company. I’ll call you back later.”
Yang Ming was slightly stunned and speechless after reading the text message. Jing Xiaolu is now the company’s chairman, but my mind has not adjusted to this change. I still think that she is a schoolgirl who has nothing to do, and a.s.sumed that she would be surely available to send me. Now it seems that Jing Xiaolu has become a very busy lady.
Yang Ming shook his head and was about to call Bao Sanli to ask him to come over and send him to the airport. However, he casually watched Little w.a.n.g walking to the traffic police to accept the fine. Yang Ming’s gaze locked on the Leopaard car which was starting up from its parked position beside the traffic police’s car.
Yang Ming tucked his phone into his pocket, picked up his backpack and chased after the Leopaard car.
The Leopaard had started and was accelerating. However, Yang Ming’s motor nerves were so developed that he caught up with the Leopaard in front of him in a few steps. Yang Ming began to knock hard on the boot of the Leopaard.
Little w.a.n.g froze, and the traffic police on duty was also shocked! The traffic police on duty knew that Yang Ming was with Little w.a.n.g. When he saw Yang Ming coming over, he didn’t think much about it. However, he suddenly saw Yang Ming knocking wildly on the door of his leader’s car!
This man… What is he trying to do? Is he trying to mess with my leader because he is angry that I fined his driver? But… How can anyone mess with my leader?
Although the traffic police on duty had not experienced it personally, the rumors of this leader were widely known!
Xia Xue had just recently been promoted to deputy chief of the police bureau. Chen Fei removed the p.r.o.noun to become the bureau chief of the police bureau. Naturally, the deputy bureau chief position was vacant and Xia Xue took it.
Part of the reason Xia Xue was able to take on the deputy chief position at a young age was due to her always solving major and important cases. But it was also undoubtedly inseparable from her background.
Xia Xue was clear that her family influence was behind her promotion. Meanwhile, as for her few credits… It could be said that they were given by Yang Ming in vain.
Xia Xue understood the internal affairs thoroughly. She knew how she had become the deputy bureau chief very well. Although outsiders envied her luck, there was no objection within the bureau.
After all, Xia Xue’s promotion was acc.u.mulated based on real achievements. Of course, some people had speculated about her background before. But if she had both the ability and background, everyone often discounted her background. Moreover, Xia Xue’s background was not known; it was only speculated about.
Compared to the depressed Xia Xue who had just joined the vice-captain squad a year ago, the current Xia Xue exuded the confidence of a successful woman. But even so, she herself knew that her true ability was actually not that great.
Chapter 1844: You Send Me There
If it weren’t for Yang Ming contributing the credit to her several times, she would not be promoted so quickly even with her relations.h.i.+p to her brother and grandfather. She could only be a deputy captain at most, let alone deputy bureau chief.
As a result, several major cases that she had solved were well known in the province. Many policemen in other cities knew Xia Xue’s famous name.
Xia Xue was going to a meeting in the province today. But she found out that there was a serious traffic jam when she reached the expressway intersection. Coincidently, she saw a traffic police officer on duty, so she drove her car to the side and asked him. It turned out that there was an accident on the expressway. Xia Xue had no choice, so she decided to take the old road to go to Donghai. Although the road was a little longer and b.u.mpier, she would be able to reach the evening meeting on time.
Just when Xia Xue started the car, she heard someone knocking on the trunk of her car. Xia Xue was startled and thought that the traffic policeman just now had some issues. She stopped the car immediately and opened the door to get out of the car. Then, she saw Yang Ming walk out from behind the car.
“Xia Xue, luckily you stopped the car. Otherwise, I don’t know how far I would have needed to chase you!” While Yang Ming was talking, he threw his backpack into the back seat of Xia Xue’s car.
“Yang Ming?” Xia Xue didn’t expect it to be Yang Ming. Seeing Yang Ming’s strange actions, she was a little puzzled, “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to Donghai to catch a flight. It’s urgent. Can you send me there?” Yang Ming said with a grin, as if Xia Xue was his full-time driver.
“I? Send you there?” Xia Xue rolled her eyes. How did he know that I am going to Donghai? Besides, doesn’t he have a car? Why should I send him!
“My driver is currently detained by the traffic police,” Yang Ming pointed at w.a.n.g Lin who was not far behind him. He then said, “By the way, are you free? Sending me wouldn’t delay your work, right?”
“It just came to your mind now to ask whether I’m free? You seemed to be talking to me in a commanding tone just now, right?” Xia Xue was almost speechless, but she was really helpless when facing Yang Ming.
Xia Xue was just thinking that Yang Ming had given her a few credits and felt very grateful to him. But being grateful is just being grateful. You can’t command me as if I was your driver, right? I’m also a deputy bureau chief!
Although she maintained the habit of driving by herself, it was not to be a driver for others!
“I’m really in a hurry,” Yang Ming was also persistent. He directly opened the door by the pa.s.senger seat and hopped in, “Help me. I’ll treat you to dinner when I return!”
“Treat me to dinner? Someone apparently promised me to be my long term meal ticket. I can eat whenever I want. What’s the big deal with a dinner treat?” Xia Xue remembered Yang Ming’s promise and blurted out, but she blushed a little right after saying it. Thinking of the flirty relations.h.i.+p between her and Yang Ming, Xia Xue glared at Yang Ming and got into the car.
“Hehe, I’ll buy you drinks then,” Yang Ming laughed and said.
“Who cares!” Xia Xue pouted her lips, “Coincidently, I am also going to Donghai. Otherwise, I would really want to kick you off.”
“Kick me?” Yang Ming said indifferently, “Wait until you can beat me.”
Upon Yang Ming’s reminder, Xia Xue suddenly recalled that she indeed could not beat Yang Ming. Kicking him probably wouldn’t have any effect, so she could only start the car indignantly.
The traffic police on duty didn’t expect Yang Ming to get into Xia Xue’s car after banging on it. Their relations.h.i.+p seemed to be quite close! They were even talking and laughing together. After taking w.a.n.g Lin’s driver’s license, he hesitated, “Your boss knows Bureau Xia?”
“En? Bureau Xia? Who’s that?” Little w.a.n.g heard the traffic policeman’s question and was stunned as he didn’t know who the traffic police was asking about. Little w.a.n.g had not dealt with the police directly, so he did not know who the traffic policeman referred to.
“It was the person who got down from the Leopaard just now,” The traffic police said as he pointed toward the Leopaard that had just left.
“Ah? She? Isn’t she our boss’s girlfriend?” Little w.a.n.g asked with confusion.
“What? Bureau Xia is your boss’s girlfriend?” The traffic policeman was baffled for a long time after listening to Little w.a.n.g’s answer. Xia Xue is boss’s girlfriend? Is it true? But if it is true, I don’t need to check the car doc.u.mentation anymore. It must be genuine.
In fact, when the traffic police saw Yang Ming and Xia Xue got in the car while talking and laughing, he knew that the permit on Little w.a.n.g’s car should be real.
“Her surname is Xia?” Little w.a.n.g hesitated a while, “Then that may not be the case. I thought her surname was Chen.”
Little w.a.n.g knew that Yang Ming’s real girlfriend was Chen Mengyan, but he had never met her before. Just now Yang Ming had called Jing Xiaolu but couldn’t get through. Little w.a.n.g was not sure who he called after that. But thinking about it, it should be Chen Mengyan.
Besides knowing Jing Xiaolu, Little w.a.n.g only heard Bao Sanli occasionally mention Chen Mengyan.
“Is that your bureau chief? She’s so young?” Little w.a.n.g suddenly thought of Chen Mengyan’s background, so he pretended to say inadvertently, “My boss’s girlfriend’s father is also at the city police station. Perhaps he may know your Bureau Xia. ”
“Girlfriend’s father?” The more the traffic police listened, the more he was confused. Who is related to who?
“Yes, our boss’s girlfriend is Chen Mengyan. Her father is also the bureau chief…” Little w.a.n.g nodded solemnly.
After the traffic police heard Little w.a.n.g’s words, his face suddenly changed. His surname is Chen… and he’s the bureau chief. The ident.i.ty of this person is almost certain…
The traffic police did not suspect that Little w.a.n.g had lied to him as had previously seen that Yang Ming And Xia Xue were close. With Little w.a.n.g’s explanation, it made sense why Xia Xue would allow Yang Ming to get into her car.
In fact, after seeing Yang Ming getting into the car, the traffic policeman believed that Little w.a.n.g’s permit was real. He returned the permit and driver’s license to Little w.a.n.g, “You may go now. Don’t do such a dangerous thing next time. ”
He didn’t dare to meddle with this kind of thing. If the car was detained, wouldn’t he offend two chiefs at the same time?
Furthermore, it was not illegal to release Little w.a.n.g since his permit was genuine.
Little w.a.n.g didn’t expect that he would be released with just a few casual mentions. He lamented in his heart. Brother Yang is well known indeed!
Little w.a.n.g left quickly and drove away after saying thanks. However, since Yang Ming and Xia Xue’s car had gone far away, Little w.a.n.g had to call Yang Ming to ask if he needed to send Yang Ming.
“Little w.a.n.g? Have you settled everything?” Yang Ming glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Little w.a.n.g.
“En, the traffic police saw you and that… Bureau Xia are close with each other, so he knew that the permit was not fake and let me go…” Little w.a.n.g said awkwardly, “Brother Yang, where are you? Do you want me to send you? ”
“It’s okay. I’m hitching a ride in Xia Xue’s car. Since there’s nothing left to be done, you can go back.” After Yang Ming heard that Little w.a.n.g was released, he said nothing further. At that time, if Yang Ming got off and took out his credentials, he believed he would have achieved the same effect, but he did not do so.
Using his credentials for such trivial matters was making a big fuss over a minor issue. This was why Yang Ming asked Little w.a.n.g to accept the fine.
“Alright, Brother Yang. If you need anything, call me at any time,” said Little w.a.n.g. Hearing the way Yang Ming called Xia Xue, he thought, Brother Yang is really close with that Bureau Xia.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming looked at Xia Xue with interest, “Bureau Xia? Were you promoted again?”
“Why? Can I not be promoted?” Xia Xue sneered. In front of others, she could indeed show off her promotion. But she was facing Yang Ming. Xia Xue knew that her credits were brought by Yang Ming, so there was nothing to show off.
“Ha, then I should congratulate you!” Yang Ming grinned, but he did not mention Xia Xue’s credits. Instead, he said, “Was it your brother’s arrangement? Is it part of his preparation for you to go to Yunnan?”
Xia Xue was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect Yang Ming would bring up this matter suddenly. After hesitating, she nodded, “That should be the case. This time all the people going are from your side. They are not of a low level. If I am just a Vice Squad Captain, the chief may not agree to let me go. It would be different if I was the deputy chief, so my brother may have taken this into consideration. In addition to the drug dealer you gave me credit for, I have enough credits.”
