Chapter 109: Paper Money passes through Walls
ou considered their verbal agreement.A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the handsome Hummer man’s eyes before he quickly composed himself and extended his hand to Xia Tian: "I’m Gao Mingyang.""I'm...Chapter 111: A Dinner Date in a Police Car After barking out those cold words, she stormed back to her office and shut the door.
After leaving the hospital, Ling Bingbing's mood had been rather poor. When Yun Qing told her that name, she felt an acute sense of unease, sensing that she had inadvertently become a tool for certain people, with the person who made her a tool being not only her closest blood relative but also someone she hated most.
She wanted to seek justice for Mo Zilun and Li Shan, who died unjustly. Therefore, despite the pressure, she decided to investigate the case thoroughly. However, she had a premonition that once the investigation was clear, she would be helping that person achieve their goal, which made her unwilling to become their tool. This left her feeling conflicted as she only wanted to be an honest police officer and not get involved in those dirty power struggles.
Her phone suddenly rang, startling Ling Bingbing out of her thoughts.
Picking up the phone, Ling Bingbing's expression immediately changed. Although she hadn't saved this number, it was very familiar to her.
Hesitating for a moment, Ling Bingbing still pressed the接聽button but spoke in an unusually cold tone: "What is it"
"Bingbing, how's the investigation going" A gentle voice came from the other end of the line. However, to Ling Bingbing's ears, this sounded fake.
"You'll be disappointed; I haven't found any clues yet!" Ling Bingbing sniffed disdainfully.
There was a pause on the other end: "Well then, there's no need to continue investigating. Just wrap up the case, right After all, the murderer has already been caught, hasn't he"
"What" Ling Bingbing thought she must have misunderstood, "Aren't you the one who specifically asked me to investigate this"
"Bingbing, many people know that it was my instruction for you to investigate. Since I'm under a lot of pressure now and there's no evidence found, let’s wrap up the case as soon as possible." The voice on the other end sounded somewhat helpless, "I don't mind myself, but I don't want you to get involved either."
"Then I really have to thank you!" Bingbing gave a cold laugh and hung up. In her heart, she had made up her mind: since he wanted her not to investigate, she would do it even more!
She clicked the mouse on the computer and input two names into the search engine before finding several news articles. Bingbing muttered to herself, "It seems Yun Qing wasn't lying; those two really know each other."
After turning off her computer, Bingbing got up and walked out of the office. Not surprisingly, Xia Tian was still outside.
"Let's go eat!" Bingbing approached Xia Tian.
Without waiting for a response from Xia Tian, she left the sixth division’s office, and he naturally followed her without hesitation.
"Cold Beauty really can act!"
"Exactly. She was so furious just ten minutes ago; now look at her changing her mind."
"That guy is truly impressive to have won over Cold Beauty like this."
The others were buzzing with chatter, and this time everyone could be certain that Cold Beauty had found someone special.
**
Leng Bingbing drove out of the police station, Xia Tian was sitting in the front passenger seat, somewhat obsessed with staring at Leng Bingbing's pretty face and perfect figure. Some beauties may look very beautiful at first glance but become less impressive after prolonged observation; others might appear not so attractive initially but grow more appealing over time. However, Leng Bingbing differed from both types of women—she looked gorgeous right away and became even more beautiful the longer one looked at her. Xia Tian found himself increasingly fond of looking at Leng Bingbing.
"Why are you staring at me" Leng Bingbing finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Police officer sister, you're so pretty that I can never tire of gazing upon your beauty," Xia Tian said with a smile.
Leng Bingbing gritted her teeth and tried hard to suppress her anger. How did she get such an unlucky break to know this rogue
Recalling the few days prior, she had complained to Qiao Xiaoqiao about Xia Tian's close relationship with Sun Xinxin, saying that Qiao Xiaoqiao was merely his concubine; however, Qiao Xiaoqiao’s response made her think there must be something wrong with her hearing—Qiao Xiaoqiao actually said that she really was Xia Tian's concubine and added that as a mere concubine, she had no right to stop him from finding others.
“Crazy, all of them are crazy!” Leng Bingbing thought in her heart. She only had a few female friends, Qiao Xiaoqiao and Zhao Qingqing among them. While Qiao Xiaoqiao declared herself Xia Tian's concubine, Zhao Qingqing even offered to be his concubine so she could learn martial arts. Though she knew Zhao Qingqing had a tendency towards being a martial arts fanatic, this still seemed too extreme.
"Police officer sister, where are we going for dinner" Xia Tian looked at the time—actually it was still early; it hadn't even reached five o'clock yet.
“Right here,” Leng Bingbing said in a bad mood.
Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled: "Where is here"
"It's right in the car!" Cold Ice glared at him.
Summer was even more confused: "There's nothing to eat in the car!"
Cold Ice didn't answer Summer's question, but a few minutes later, she gave him an answer through her actions. She parked by the side of the road and pointed at a fast-food restaurant, telling Summer, "Go buy two sets of fast food, I'll wait for you in the car."
Summer finally understood that eating in the car meant buying fast food to eat inside the vehicle. But he didn't mind because what mattered to him wasn't the meal but being with Cold Ice.
Summer quickly bought two sets of fast food, and surprisingly, Cold Ice didn't take advantage of the situation to escape. On one hand, she knew she couldn't get away; this thug was too crazy—he would likely run after her if she tried to drive off. The other reason was that she hadn't planned on running anyway. Since he wanted to bother her, she might as well make him do some tasks for her.
Thinking about being teased by this deadbeat every day and enduring countless losses, Cold Ice felt it would be a form of revenge if she could get him to work for her.
After buying the fast food, Cold Ice drove on for nearly ten more minutes before stopping again.
Ignoring Summer, Cold Ice took one set of fast food and started eating by herself. As someone who often ate in a car due to her job as a detective, she was used to it, so their first dinner date was spent inside the police vehicle.
After finishing this unique meal, Cold Ice made Summer throw away the containers before settling back into the car without any intention of driving off. Her eyes were fixed on a particular direction.
Summer felt curious and followed her gaze to see a large gate. After looking at the signs next to the gate, he realized where they were—it was none other than the location of Pinghai Province's government buildings.
About several minutes later, an old Santana 2000 car drove out of the provincial government gate. Leng Bingbing hurriedly started her car and followed at a distance.
"Sis Cop, who are you following" Xia Tian couldn’t help but ask. At this moment, he naturally understood that Leng Bingbing wasn’t there to have dinner.
“None of your business, just sit properly,” Leng Bingbing said in an unfriendly tone.
The Santana 2000 drove into the provincial government staff compound after about ten minutes. Meanwhile, Leng Bingbing parked her car across from the gate and simply stared at it without doing anything.
"Sis Cop, are you just going to stare like this" Xia Tian couldn’t help but ask.
“If you don't want to stay, get out!” Leng Bingbing said unhappily.
Xia Tian wasn’t unwilling to stay; he merely felt that Leng Bingbing’s approach was akin to waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree—far too unreliable.
"Sis Cop, if you want to investigate someone, I can help. For example, I could install a listening device in their home without anyone noticing me. Oh right, Third Master told me about this kind of listening device that can be installed on phones. Why don’t I go and install one for you" Xia Tian volunteered.
Leng Bingbing couldn’t help but glance at Xia Tian; to be honest, his suggestion made her slightly tempted. However, she immediately rejected the idea as she didn't want to progress to that step yet. She merely wanted to first investigate the daily routine of her target before making further plans.
Originally, such matters did not require her personal involvement in the investigation, but unfortunately, this time’s target was too special, and for now, she also didn’t want anyone else to know about it, so she could only do it herself.
"Sis Cop, why aren’t you following that car" Xia Tian suddenly pointed at a vehicle coming out of the residential compound.
"Why would I follow that car It’s a Honda, and it has nothing to do with the one I’m after," Cold Ice said irritably. This was a Honda, completely unrelated to the car she wanted to track down.
“The driver in that car is the same driver from the vehicle you were chasing just now!” Xia Tian sounded puzzled. "Sis Cop, didn’t you just chase him"
The driver
Cold Ice’s expression suddenly changed slightly: “How do you know this driver is the one you’re after”
"Even though I couldn’t clearly see his face earlier, from his back view alone, I can be certain that it’s the same person. Sis Cop, if you are indeed chasing him, you should hurry up! The car will disappear soon!" Xia Tian said quickly.
Could she recognize someone from so far away And just by a silhouette
If anyone else had made this claim, Cold Ice wouldn’t have believed them. But now that it was Xia Tian speaking, despite her suspicion, she still felt there was some truth to what he said; this despicable rogue was very capable indeed.
“Why would his driver change cars and leave Could it be because he doesn't want anyone to notice him, which means he might be up to something shady Given his status, he likely wouldn’t do things himself. Perhaps the driver is one of his trusted subordinates…” Cold Ice’s thoughts raced as she abruptly started her car, flooring the accelerator to chase after the Honda.
The Honda weaved through the streets of Jianghai City; with Cold Ice's experience, she quickly realized that whoever was driving was very cautious and deliberately circled around several times, obviously wary of being followed. However, given Cold Ice’s tracking skills, the other side hadn’t noticed her tailing them, remaining far behind for nearly half an hour before finally stopping outside Renmin Park. Feng, inform the personnel from the Military District Security Bureau to take Lei Jun away,” said Leizhentian at this moment."Yes, Commander." Qin Feng nodded and immediately made a phone call.
