Chapter 111 Dining Date in the Police Car

pistol that should have been on her waist was now in Huang Anping’s hand."Ah..." There were exclamations of alarm all around, causing chaos to erupt in the police station."Huang Anping, put down the...Chapter 113: A Thousand Ears "Sis,麻煩 you think harder. It's not necessary for someone to have boarded the car, or did you see anything unusual" Cold Bingbing wasn't giving up yet.

Unfortunately, after carefully considering again, the female boss shook her head apologetically: "Sorry, police officer sister, I really don’t know much. Why not ask others"

"Alright then, thank you." Cold Bingbing was a bit disappointed. Although there were many people entering and exiting the door, those who stayed by the entrance weren't that numerous. She had also checked thoroughly and found no surveillance equipment nearby. It would indeed be difficult to know if anyone had boarded that car.

Cold Bingbing proceeded to ask another dozen or so individuals, but still came up empty-handed. In the end, she could only leave again, this time taking Xia Tian straight to Affiliated First Hospital.

Outside Yun Qing's hospital room, there were two policemen stationed in the corridor. Inside the room, Li Ping was chatting idly with Yun Qing. Ever since the incident where kidnappers had seized hostages at the hospital last time, he had become even more vigilant towards similar events. Moreover, this time he needed to protect Yun Qing, so naturally, he would be personally on duty and wouldn’t dare slack off.

"Captain, Xia Tian, you guys are here." Seeing these two enter together, Li Ping was somewhat baffled since he hadn't returned to the police station today and thus didn't know what had happened in his office.

"Li Ping, go out for a moment. I need to talk privately with lawyer Yun," Cold Bingbing said before turning to Xia Tian, as if she just noticed him: "Why are you still following me"

"Police officer sister, since you haven’t finished work yet, of course I’ll follow you." Xia Tian looked like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"What does that have to do with whether or not my shift has ended" Cold Bingbing said irritably.

Xia Tian chuckled: "Police officer sister, since you haven’t finished work yet, I can’t go home with you!"

"Who said I'm going home with you" Ling Bingbing was a bit irritated; this guy kept sticking to her!

Waving her hand, Ling Bingbing decided not to discuss the issue with him for now: "Anyway, you go out first. I need to talk something over with Lawyer Yun."

"Alright, I'll wait for you," Xia Tian agreed readily and immediately left the ward with Li Ping.

The moment Ling Bingbing appeared, Yun Qing sensed that something had changed. So as soon as Xia Tian and Li Ping left, she asked: "Captain Ling, what happened"

"Ma Ergang just died," Ling Bingbing said softly. "There was a bomb in his car."

"Ma Ergang" Yun Qing's face changed greatly. "Ji Nan's driver"

"Yes, that's his driver." Ling Bingbing nodded her head. "I suspect he was silenced, so Lawyer Yun, if you know any important clues, please speak up quickly; otherwise, we might truly find no evidence."

"Too late, it’s already too late. With Ma Ergang dead, we can't find any evidence now." Yun Qing muttered to herself with a look of regret on her face. "I never thought that Ji Nan would even spare Ma Ergang! He has followed Ji Nan for twenty whole years!"

"Twenty years" Ling Bingbing was shocked; she knew that Ma Ergang had been driving for Ji Nan for quite some time, but not to this extent.

"That's correct, exactly twenty years. Twenty years ago when Ji Nan was still just a township mayor, Ma Ergang started working as his driver, and wherever Ji Nan went, he would follow him there too. Some even say that the person Ji Nan trusts most isn't his wife or son but rather his driver, Ma Ergang." Yun Qing clenched her teeth. "Ma Ergang may look honest and simple-minded, yet he's done countless things for Ji Nan that cannot be disclosed!"

"Cloud Lawyer, I want to ask you, what exactly is the relationship between Ji Nan and Li Shan" Cold Bingbing pondered for a moment before finally asking this crucial question.

Yun Qing shook her head with a somewhat dispirited expression: "Forget it. Since Shan Shan has already passed away, I don't want to tarnish her reputation after her death. The case is meaningless anyway once Ma Ergang dies. Even if you find evidence, it would all be related to Ma Ergang's actions. Captain Cold, let's just end this."

Cold Bingbing couldn't help but frown: "Cloud Lawyer, are you willing to give up like that"

"Shan Shan once told me something. We can’t outsmart him. At the time, I didn’t believe her, but now I know she was right; we really can’t outsmart him." Yun Qing smiled bitterly, "Captain Cold, I advise you to stop investigating this case too. Think about my car accident today and the recent explosion that killed Ma Ergang. You don't want to end up like them."

"Cloud Lawyer, as a detective, when someone commits a crime, I have an obligation to investigate it. If you truly wish justice for your friend, there should be no secrets between us," Cold Bingbing said coolly.

"Captain Cold, please pretend that nothing was ever mentioned." Yun Qing spoke softly.

"Cloud Lawyer, I hope you’ll take this seriously and consider what I’ve asked. If you change your mind, remember to give me a call," Cold Bingbing didn’t continue pressuring her; Yun Qing was a lawyer and not the type who could be easily persuaded. It would be better if she thought it through herself.

Yun Qing nodded. Her thoughts were in disarray now and needed time to think carefully about Ma Ergang's death, which had completely shaken her previous assumptions about Ji Nan’s actions towards him.

Cold Bingbing didn’t linger any longer; she got up and left the room.

"Li Ping, have your people stay alert! Make sure nothing happens to Cloud Lawyer!" Cold Bingbing gave one last instruction before leaving the hospital. As for Summer, he continued following her.

Pull open the car door, just got in the car, Leng Bingbing received that unwanted call again.

"What now" Leng Bingbing's tone was even colder.

"Are you still investigating that case" The voice on the phone sounded somewhat serious.

"None of your business!" Leng Bingbing shot back.

The person on the other end sighed lightly, "I knew it. You won't give up easily, but, Bingbing, after all these years, please listen to me just this once and stop investigating, okay"

"Why should I listen to you What makes you think you have any right to tell me what to do" Leng Bingbing sneered. "When I was a child, you never cared for me, now, I need even less of your interference!"

Leng Bingbing angrily hung up the phone, thinking about her depressed mother who had died and her gloomy childhood, she couldn't help but hate the man on the other end of the line even more.

"Sister Policewoman, was it your father calling you just now" A voice came from beside her.

Leng Bingbing suddenly turned around and shouted at Xia Tian, "I don't have a father!"

Xia Tian didn't get upset; instead, he smiled at Leng Bingbing and said, "Sister Policewoman, I also don't have a father."

Cold Ice was taken aback; she didn't know why, but her anger suddenly vanished. Remembering that she had investigated this guy before and found nothing about him—like he had come from a crack in the stone—the tone of her voice softened as she asked proactively, "Why don't you have a dad either"

Summer scratched his head. "I can't really remember much. Master Chef said my parents abandoned me on the road, but I don’t believe that. What I do remember is going to kindergarten and then running away with Fairy Sister." Childhood memories were indeed blurry for him now, except for the moment he first met Fairy Sister.

"So you mean to say you have neither a dad nor a mom" Cold Ice was taken aback; this rogue turned out to be an orphan

Summer laughed and said with a smile, "Yes. But I've got Fairy Sister with me, so no one dares bully me. So, Detective Flower, not having a dad is okay since you've still got me! If anyone tries to hurt you, I'll beat them up!"

"Then why don’t you start by beating yourself up" Cold Ice said in exasperation. Perhaps due to the feeling of mutual suffering, she suddenly didn't hate Summer as much as before.

Summer answered seriously, "Detective Flower, I can't do that. If I beat myself up, it would be self-harm, and Third Master said that a man who engages in self-harm is weak. I am not a weak man."

Cold Ice was somewhat depressed because she suddenly found herself agreeing with what Summer had just said.

"Oh right, Detective Flower, who’s Ji Nan" Summer asked suddenly.

Her expression changed as Cold Ice replied, "Where did you hear that name from"

Summer looked at her innocently. "Detective Flower, you just said it with Qingyun Sister!"

"What" Leng Bingbing looked at Xia Tian with annoyance, "Were you eavesdropping just now"

"I wasn't," Xia Tian felt wronged. "My hearing is very good. I can hear people talking even if they are far away from me. You were speaking so close to me; of course I could hear it."

“Why didn’t you say you had a千裡 ear” Leng Bingbing said irritably.

Xia Tian corrected her seriously, "Sister Policewoman, it’s not a千裡 ear, it’s a千米 ear. If I concentrate on listening, I can even hear what people are saying from about one kilometer away."

Leng Bingbing was speechless for a moment. Was this rogue even human Could he be some kind of monster

But Xia Tian continued to ask, "Sister Policewoman, you haven’t told me who Ji Nan is yet. Why does Sister Yun Qing seem so afraid of him"

Leng Bingbing exhaled slowly and said in a low voice, "Ji Nan is the vice-governor of Pinghai Province."

"Oh, just a vice-governor," Xia Tian looked puzzled. "Why does Sister Yun Qing seem so scared of him"

Leng Bingbing felt an urge to strangle Xia Tian. Just a vice-governor From the way he talks, others might think he’s the president of the country!

“Are you really that naive or just pretending” Leng Bingbing gritted her teeth. "Do you know how much power a vice-governor holds With just one word from them, Cloudy and I could be in irreparable trouble!"nnections; thus, hardly anyone in Jianghai City dared to provoke her.Of course, those blackmailed by Mei Hong wouldn't willingly submit to her manipulation either.
