Chapter 252 The Reactions of All Parties
“Shall I call Shen Muqing?” Ding Ning thought. Shen Muqing had such a powerful family background. The Shen Family must have the ability to take care of this matter for him even if he had killed Yang Kaishan, not to mention he was only framed by others.
After a long period of hesitation, Ding Ning smiled bitterly and put away his phone because he thought that it must be her families’ decision to let Shen Muqing instantly break off with him.
He didn’t want to go to the Shen Family’s door to beg for their help. Being convicted of murder was the worst thing that might happen to him. At that time, the Shen Family wouldn’t watch him go to jail even if it was for Shen Muqing’s illness. At crucial moments, the Shen Family would naturally give him a helping hand. But if he asked for help first, he would lose the initiative.
“How about Secretary Xu?” Ding Ning’s eyes brightened. As everyone knew, sometimes the power of a high-ranking official might not be as effective as the person who was in direct control of the matter. As the favorite subordinate under the leadership of the mayor, it should not be difficult for Secretary Xu to solve such a thing.
However, Ding Ning gave up this idea after a while of consideration. After all, he didn’t have such a close tie with Secretary Xu. Ding Ning hadn’t even treated his illness yet. If he had retreated Secretary Xu, Ding Ning would have had the courage to ask a favor.
“It seems that I don’t have enough friends to help me. At the critical moment, I don’t even know to whom I can ask for help.”
“Who cares? Anyway, I didn’t kill Yang Kaishan, and I killed Ma Qiang by mistake.”
“I will adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation. Take one step first and then take another according to the situation at that time. I will be wanted by the police nationwide if the worst comes to the worst. At that time, I can change my appearance and identity. I don’t believe who can recognize me then.”
However, he didn’t know that all hell had already broken loose on the Internet. The moment the post titled The Miracle-working Doctor Ding Ning Argue Angrily with the Policemen in Front of Ninghai University’s Gate. Ding Ning Was Wanted on Suspicion of Killing being published, it immediately occupied the first place on the most searched topic list.
Subsequently, a video that truthfully recorded what had happened on the scene was uploaded to the Internet, which caused a heated discussion about the development of the event.
One after another, netizens made their comments. Some of them accused Ding Ning of being self-conceited and insolent on account of his ability. Some netizens enjoyed watching the fun and took pleasure in Ding Ning’s misfortune. Some other people blamed the police for illegally enforcing the law. They said the policemen pulled their guns out at will to threaten and intimidate Ding Ning. Moreover, there were some people with concealed intentions. It appeared that those tipsters provided some unbiased source of information. However, they said Ding Ning was actually a member of the underworld…
The netizen, Sun after a Rain, unified the people in Ding Ning’s fan club. All of them stood firmly behind their idol, and unswervingly supported him. Crossing verbal swords with those persons from Anti-Ding Group and Melon-eating Onlookers, those fans of Ding Ning said that they believed the law would give Ding Ning justice.
There were countless fans came to leave their comments on Ding Ning’s microblog page. They asked Ding Ning to stand out for himself and say a sentence to prove his innocence.
Unfortunately, Ding Ning had no time to pay attention to his microblog. At this moment, he hid in the library and thought fast about how to resolve this crisis.
Ding Ning’s phone never stopped ringing. Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, Xia Ziyu, Ling Fei, and even Bai Qing called to say hello. They asked him what exactly had happened and if he needed any help.
Ding Ning could only refuse them with thanks. He explained to them that some people had framed him and the charges against him were sheer fictions. Facts could naturally tell who was innocent and who wasn’t. Over time, he would definitely be cleared of all the charges.
The ringing sounds of Ding Ning’s phone bothered many students in the library. They all stared at him with angry eyes. So he had to apologize again and again. Finally, he simply turned off his phone.
“B*stard, when such a huge thing happened to you, how could you turn off the phone?”
Xiao Nuo became so furious that she broke out into curses. She kept calling Ding Ning, but the line was always busy at first. But later, she only heard the voice in her phone say, “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off.”
“Sister Nuo, is it possible that my brother-in-law really killed the two people?”
Xiaoyao asked. She looked anxious.
“It is impossible. He knows how to handle things properly, and he will never kill. There must be someone who wants to frame him.”
Xiao Nuo gave her a definite answer. In fact, what she did not say was that even if Ding Ning had killed someone, he or she must deserve to die.
But she was sure that Ding Ning was framed. It was because she knew that Ding Ning had 10,000 ways of killing people without being noticed. He would never be stupid enough to leave the evidence and arouse people’s suspicion toward him.
“As long as he didn’t kill, I will protect him even if I have to go down on my knees and ask my father for help.”
When Xiaoyao got the affirmative answer from Xiao Nuo, she acted as if she had got a shot in the arm: she wanted to call her father immediately and ask him to deal with the matter.
“Forget it. Don’t give us additional trouble. Now the police have no evidence to prove that Ding Ning killed the two people. I will solve this problem.”
Peevishly, Xiao Nuo grabbed the phone and hung up it. “Are you kidding? I, the captain of the criminal police team, is here. There will be no need to use the resources of Xiaoyao’s family.”
…
In the No. 16 Banwan Villa, Shen Muqing was watching the heated discussion on the Internet, and there was a knot of tension in her stomach. Unconsciously, she picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.
“Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is powered off…”
Listening to the sound showing that Ding Ning had turned his phone off, Shen Muqing sat quite still for a long time before she stood up. “Sister Rui, I am going to the school.”
“Well, I am going to get a car.” Tang Rui quickly responded and rushed to prepare the car.
…
Ding Qianlie from Longteng Group remained calm and called someone. “Go to check who is behind all this.”
“Miss, we are checking.” Knife Scar reverently answered.
“Erase any negative factors against my brother.” Ding Qianlie ordered coolly.
“Yes, Miss.”
“Have you found out who is behind that assassin in black?”
Ding Qianlie suddenly changed the topic.
“Sorry, Miss. The assassin in black is very cautious. He had no identity documents. After comparison, we found that he didn’t belong to any killer organizations or mercenary groups, nor had he appeared in the complicated human world. Therefore, we haven’t found out who he was.”
Knife Scar replied, feeling a little guilty.
“The more difficult it is to know the assassin’s background, the more powerful the force behind him will be. He was likely to be the assassin of sacrifice brought up by big families. Besides, no one knows the background of my brother. It is probably because of Murong Yanran that they decided to kill him. Take steps along this line of thinking.”
Ding Qianlie knocked at the table unconsciously. With her eyes shining with the light of wisdom, Ding Qianlie hung up the phone.
A group of people in black shirts gathered together in a single isolated dwelling house.
Knife Scar heard the sound of hanging up from the phone, and his eyes were getting increasingly brighter. He whispered to a man in a black shirt next to him.
“Go to find out which families have close interests interactions with the Murong Family and which young men of the right age want to pursue Murong Yanran. You should pay special attention to those men who were very possessive.”
“I see, boss!”
Upon hearing this, the man in the black shirt excitedly clapped his hands and rushed away in high spirit…
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Zhu Jian, are you fu*king a stupid pig? Who gave you the courage to arrest people in Ninghai University without my approval? Ah? Tell me who gave you the courage?”
In the office of the director of the Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau, the director Feng Yuanqiao vehemently banged on the table. Furiously frothing at the mouth, he raged at Zhu Jian.
“Brother-in-law, I was so eager to solve the case such that I did it on impulse.”
Taking a devil-may-care attitude, Zhu Jian explained. A hint of unnoticeable disapproval flashed through the depths of his eyes.
“Don’t call me brother-in-law. We are in office time. I am now your boss. On impulse? Did you do all this on impulse? Tell me, how can we wind this matter up at this time? Tell me. You tell me… Now that even those city leaders were startled by your deed. What do you think I can do?” “From now on, I will immediately suspend you from your duties. You have to wait for the decisions on how to deal with you.”
Being exasperated at Zhu Jian’s failure to make good, Feng Yuanqiao cursed in rage and pronounced the judgment.
Zhu Jian was his wife’s younger brother. In previous, he was always the deputy captain of the criminal police team. But Zhu Jian didn’t attend to his proper duties. Instead, he always spent his whole day enjoying himself with feasting and other kinds of entertainment with a bunch of social idlers whom he considered as brothers.
Zhao Gang didn’t like Zhu Jian. If Zhu Jian were not Feng Yuanqiao’s relative, Zhao Gang would kick him out of the police team long ago.
Since Zhao Gang had the accident, the city leaders had determined to take Zhao Gang as a positive example. Thus, Feng Yuanqiao was bound to be promoted to a higher position.
Then, Zhu Jian became active and begged before Feng Yuanqiao’s wife every day. Feng Yuanqiao couldn’t resist his wife’s pillow talk and made Zhu Jian the acting captain of the criminal police team. He hoped that Zhu Jian could perform well and tried his best to become a regular worker.
Zhu Jian was his wife’s brother who always made Feng Yuanqiao worry. However, Feng Yuanqiao did not expect that just when Zhu Jian became the acting captain, he got him into such big trouble. Zhu Jian enforced the law roughly. Someone recorded the whole process and uploaded the video on the internet. So, how could Feng Yuanqiao not be angry?
During such a short period of time, the head of the district, the deputy head of the district, the leader of the State Council Office for Rectifying of District Discipline Commission, the division chief of Inspection Section of Municipal Police Bureau, the director and deputy director of Municipal Police Bureau, and even people from Government office called to rebuke him. They let Feng Yuanqiao deal with this matter seriously.
“No, brother-in-law. I am your wife’s younger brother. The b*stard Zhao Gang has pressed me for so many years. And now, I finally managed to become the acting captain. You cannot ruin my future.”
When Zhu Jian heard that he was going to be suspended from his duty, he suddenly became anxious. Taking away his careless and casual manner, Zhu Jian begged piteously.
Feng Yuanqiao laughed in his exasperation. “Do you think that I am ruining your future? It is you who have ruined my future. Zhu Jian, ah, Zhu Jian. Since when can you stop bringing trouble to your sister and me? Some time ago, accidents happened in succession in Ninghai. Because of that, the government lost its credibility. Then, they made Zhao Gang a positive example to strengthen the confidence the people had in us. A hero appeared in the Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau. By taking this advantage, I will be more likely to get promoted and get a key position in the office of the Municipal Police Bureau. At such a critical moment when we were between the teeth of the storm, you fu*king went to find trouble initially and made such a big mess, which sent our superiors into a great rage. Now that I certainly cannot get promoted. But you had the face to say that I ruined your future. You are the godd*mned one who destroyed my future.”
Zhu Jian went blank. He received a large sum of money from others and promised to find a way to frame Ding Ning. But it had never occurred to him that things could become so severe, and he even delayed the promotion of his brother-in-law because of this matter.
Fuming with rage, he roared all of a sudden and rushed out. “Fu*k. It must be the video uploaded by that girl student. No, I have to take revenge on her. I will find some people to rape her by turns. Otherwise, I will fu*king eat my hat.”
“Fu*king come back. I think you should eat your hat. You still act like a stupid pig. At this time, do you think the situation is not messy enough?”
Feng Yuanqiao became so angry now. His wife’s brother was a b*starded who always brought him bad luck. He even wanted to get his revenge on someone at this time. It seemed that Zhu Jian was afraid that the trouble was not big enough.
Zhu Jian gasped. He straightened up his neck and said, “Then what do you think we need to do now? Anyway, I will not give up before I take my revenge.”
“Take your revenge? Take your fu*king revenge. Don’t go anywhere and wait honestly for their decision on how to deal with you. Now the city leaders are also trying to find ways to delete the online posts. They want to avoid causing greater public opinion disturbance.”
Feng Yuanqiao took a long breath and lighted up a cigarette; coldness flashed across his eyes. “Do you have enough evidence to prove that the suspect killed someone?”
“No, I don’t!” Zhu Jian bowed his head, feeling guilty.
Feng Yuanqiao became so angry that he was very anxious to kick him to death. “Without any evidence, you even dared to arrest people with loaded guns. Are you crazy?”
“No. But that guy is very likely to be the murder. I have checked the surveillance. Although the monitoring equipment in Blessing Gathering Club was destroyed, the surveillance video along the street showed that he had gone to the crime scene last night. Exactly at the time Ma Qiang and Yang Kaishan were killed. Just give me some time, and I will definitely find the evidence to prove that he is the murderer.”
Zhu Jian gave Feng Yuanqiao a firm and solemn promise.
“If you are sure of that, go to check it out as soon as possible. Ding Ning is a celebrity who has many fans. The current public opinion is against you. If you want to get out of the trouble, you have to turn this case into an ironclad case. As long as you get the irrefutable evidence to prove Ding Ning is a murderer, you will win the support from the majority even if you enforced the law a little roughly. After all, you are dealing with an extremely violent and wicked murderer. Therefore, it is understandable that you took harsh measures. At that time, the public will fully support you. Do you understand?”
Feng Yuanqiao drew deeply on his cigarette, and his expression was hidden in the cloud of cigarette smoke.
