“Impossible . What kind of emergency meeting is it? Why didn’t I receive any notice? I am the deputy captain . ”
Jiang Hongbin said with an ugly expression .
Mr . Li shook his head helplessly . “It’s not that you weren’t notified, but we just couldn’t get through to your phone . The captains and deputy captains of each team have all gone to attend the meeting . I’m on duty that’s why I’m not there . ”
“My, my cellphone ran out of battery . ”
Jiang Hongbin’s expression changed and he asked in a low voice, “What’s the situation? Why was there suddenly an emergency meeting?”
“I’m not sure, but Director Qi did not look happy . Even the secretary of the mayor has come to attend the meeting . ”
Mr . Li said in a light voice .
“Then I’ll go to the meeting now . ”
Jiang Hongbin’s expression changed again and he glanced at Ding Ning unkindly . “But this does not mean he is not suspicious . Mr . Li, keep him under control for now to prevent unnecessary losses . ”
At this time, a subordinate policeman poked his head in . He glanced at Ding Ning and quickly said, “Captain Jiang, he really is Captain Xiao’s friend . I saw them come in together earlier . ”
“Xiaofang, are you sure you saw correctly?”
Jiang Hongbin stared at Xiaofang coldly as he asked .
After Captain Liu of the Municipal Police Bureau left on medical leave, Jiang Hongbin and another deputy captain, Gao Feng, both had hopes of replacing him .
Particularly Jiang Hongbin . His background was strong and he had done a lot of work . It was almost certain he would become captain .
But fate was unexpected . There was no way he would have expected that a captain of the Special Forces would take over the role of a police captain .
After receiving the news, Jiang Hongbin almost smashed his office in anger . He called that night to ask his powerful backer what had happened and the conclusion he received was that Xiao Nuo had great influence . Even his powerful backer could not afford to mess with her .
Jiang Hongbin could only force down his anger and called in some of his loyal subordinates in preparation for a show of force for when the new captain first came . With the power taken from his hands, no matter how powerful her backer was, it meant nothing if she didn’t have any power .
But when he saw Xiao Nuo for the first time and learned that she was still single, all of the preparations and plans died before they came to fruition . He wanted to pursue this woman who had stolen his heart and make her into his wife .
Thus, even though he knew that Ding Ning was very likely Xiao Nuo’s friend, he still made matters difficult for him, to make him retreat in the face of difficulties . And to let him know that Xiao Nuo was not someone he could think about .
Unfortunately, he forgot that Xiaofang was a rookie fresh out of the police academy and could not understand the subtext in his words . Xiaofang stared back and said, with certainty, “How could I have seen wrong? It hasn’t even been ten minutes since he and Captain Xiao came in together . ”
“You… humph! Just because they came in together does not necessarily mean they are friends . I’m going to the meeting now . Captain Xiao’s office is not somewhere for random people to loiter . Have this person wait in the guest room . ”
Jiang Hongbin’s face was clouded enough to drip water . He shot a hard glance at Xiaofang, shook his sleeve, and left .
“This… ”
Mr . Li’s face was as bitter as medicine . D*mn, everyone in the criminal police team knew that Jiang Hongbin liked Captain Xiao, however, the problem was that Captain Xiao had never even looked twice at him .
For this young man before him, of age with Captain Xiao, to be able to sit openly and confidently in her office, who knew what their relationship was?
A captain who had not yet firmly planted her feet and a deputy captain with solid foundations, while he, only a deputy captain of the three teams, did not want to involve himself into this vortex of jealousy .
But Jiang Hongbin, relying on his powerful backer, had always been arrogant and overbearing . Since he gave the order, he had no choice but to carry it out .
With an uncomfortable expression, he had no choice but to politely say, “Sir, I’ll have to trouble you to wait in the guest room . ”
Ding Ning looked at him with the ghost of a smile . “What if I refuse? Are you going to have people remove me forcefully?”
“No, no I wouldn’t . You’re not a suspect in a crime, how could I treat you like that?”
Mr . Li awkwardly waved his hand and said with an apologetic smile as he silently cursed Jiang Hongbin bloody in his head .
“Then you may take your leave . Nuonuo asked me to wait for her here, so I will wait for her here . No random person can give me orders . ”
Ding Ning’s tone was warm and genial but the meaning of his words was thought-provoking .
Nuonuo? To use such a name, in short, showed that he was definitely someone very close to Captain Nuo .
Mr . Li was an old policeman and his eyes were very sharp . Although everything Ding Ning wore came from street stalls, his aura and attitude were not comparable with the common man .
Mr . Li was not stupid enough to offend someone whose background he didn’t know just because of Jiang Hongbin’s jealousy .
Even if he was wrong and Ding Ning was only a normal person, he still could not afford to offend him given his close connection to Xiao Nuo . Mr . Li laughed awkwardly . “Then you keep waiting, and I won’t disturb you . ”
Watching as Mr . Li very considerately closed the door, a smile flashed across Ding Ning’s mouth as the office sank back into silence .
If Jiang Hongbin had politely discussed the matter with him, he would have been happy to wait in the guest room . After all, Xiao Nuo’s office was small, so small that he felt bad about having a smoke . He was bored out of his mind .
The overly familiar way Jiang Hongbin only knocked once before directly entering Xiao Nuo’s office and his self-justified enmity made him feel very uncomfortable and very unwilling to do as he asked . Did he think the criminal police team was his family business?
Thud thud thud!
Someone knocked on the door . Ding Ning hesitated then called out, “Come in!”
Xiaofang walked in with a cup of coffee . Respectfully, he said, “Mr . Ding, have some coffee . ”
“Thank you . You know who I am?”
Ding Ning looked at this young policeman with some confusion .
“Yes . I actually did not see you come in with Captain Xiao earlier but I know you are good friends with her . Last time, when we were at Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau capturing Zhu Jian, I was on duty together with Captain Xiao . ”
Xiaofang scratched his head with embarrassment .
Ding Ning immediately understood . No wonder he thought Xiaofang looked slightly familiar, they had met at the Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau .
“I’m Ding Ning; what’s your name?”
Ding Ning had a good impression of this kid who smiled rather shyly . He quickly stood up to shake his hand .
“Hello, Mr . Ding, I’m Fang Xiaomu . I only graduated from the police academy last year . ”
Xiaofang’s face was bright red and he spoke excitedly . Last time at the Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau, he personally saw the Mayor’s secretary and Director Qi speak on his behalf . His powerful influence was clear .
As a new graduate of the police academy and having experienced the real world for a year, he understood that if he wanted to stand strong in the police bureau, one needed a powerful backer .
So today, Fang Xiaomu played the fool and seemed to have offended Jiang Hongbin which seemed very stupid . But in reality, he gained Ding Ning’s favor and, indirectly, pulled himself closer to Xiao Nuo . Who could say he was truly stupid?
But to say that he was very wise to the world was not completely true either . After all, he was still hot-blooded and his ideals had not been destroyed by the cruel society .
Otherwise, he would not have rejected Jiang Hongbin’s attempts to recruit him because of his distaste for his networking and his oppression of outsiders, thus being iced out by his colleagues .
“Be at ease, sit down and chat with me; I’m bored anyway . What kind of person is that Captain Jiang?”
Ding Ning pulled up a chair for Fang Xiaomu to sit on . Although he, with his level of intelligence, could clearly see through Fang Xiaomu’s attempts to befriend him, he did not feel any annoyance .
After all, a young man who wrote all his thoughts on his face could not be very shrewd and couldn’t be that bad a person .
Unlike the old fox Mr . Li, who swayed from side to side without a firm stance . He could only be an opportunist .
“Captain Jiang’s name is Jiang Hongbin, the deputy captain of the criminal police force…”
Fang Xiaomu answered respectfully . It was only now that Ding Ning learned that the Municipal Police Bureau had a total of 17 squads and each squad had one captain and two deputy captains .
Fang Xiaomu belonged to the first squad . Of the 17 squads, only the captain of the first squad, Gu Honglin got along well with Xiao Nuo, perhaps because they were both women .
Of the remaining 16 squads, five captains followed Jiang Hongbin while 4 followed Gao Feng . The other 6 maintained a middle ground and was not involved in either faction .
The sub-bureau and country bureau criminal police team belonged under the jurisdiction of the sub-bureau and country bureau and were not superior or inferior to the Municipal Criminal Team . They only had a professional guidance relationship .
Under these circumstances, Xiao Nuo’s difficulty was clear . Of the 17 squads, she could only give orders to one of them . If she didn’t accomplish something soon, her title of captain would only be a title . Her influence would be an illusion and she would become a figurehead .
Fortunately, days after she came into her post, she was sent to handle the security of the auction house . The problems had not completely come began otherwise her present situation would not be very good .
According to Fang Xiaomu, Jiang Hongbin had initially reached out to a lot of people to target Xiao Nuo in the hopes of driving her away . But later, no action was taken . Each day he was eagerly attentive toward her, just because he wanted to pursue her .
Ding Ning smiled at hearing this . Xiao Nuo was a very capable person, otherwise, she would not have risen to the position of captain of the SWAT team in just two short years . He was also not someone within the system so the only thing he could do was crack more cases with her to add to her accomplishments .
As for Jiang Hongbin’s interest, he did not think much of it . Although he put on a lot of airs, he still had far to go for Xiao Nuo to be interested .
He knew Xiao Nuo quite well, who was a female hero and had a complex about powerful people . Only a young talent like him could make her fall in love at first sight .
The more Ding Ning thought about this the more pleased he became . “My charm indeed knows no bounds, and even such a cold-faced policewoman has secretly given her heart to me . Ah, handsome people have so many worries!”
“Mr . Ding? Mr . Ding?”
As Fang Xiaomu spoke, he realized that Ding Ning was smiling vacantly and almost had drool coming out of his mouth . At a loss, he called him twice in a row to bring him back to his senses .
Ding Ning’s face flushed and he coughed awkwardly . “We are friends, so don’t call me Mr . Ding, and that seems so distant . Either call my name or call me Brother Ding; I should be a little older than you . ”
“I’m 21 this year . ”
Fang Xiaomu was delighted . To be friends with Ding Ning meant getting closer to Xiao Nuo . This was a short cut for someone like him who desperately wanted to move up in rank .
“Then you’re one year younger than me; call me Brother Ding in the future . This is my number, and when there’s an opportunity in the future, we can get meet up . ”
Ding Ning exchanged numbers with him . He had his reason for making friends with Fang Xiaomu . After all, Xiao Nuo was so stubborn that made his heart hurt . She always shouldered everything herself .
He needed Fang Xiaomu to be his eyes and ears, to quickly be of mutual assistance to each other . He needed to understand Xiao Nuo’s situation to be able to provide her with help in a timely matter .
The bald Brother Long had already met with the South-east people twice but Ding Ning still did not make a move because they had only brought very little drugs as a sample and were carrying out initial talks . Furthermore, the big boss behind bald Brother Long had not yet to show his face .
He planned to let out his line to catch a big fish . Once he had figured out whom the big boss was he would capture all of these drug-dealers when the South-east Asian people brought a large number of drugs . He would have the goods and the criminals in one fell swoop .
As they talked, Fang Xiaomu found Ding Ning to be very easygoing and he grew less reserved . Calling Ding Ning, Brother Ding, they chatted together agreeably .
