Chapter 422 - Chance Encounter
Chapter 422 Chance Encounter
“Absolutely true. It was the time when the bomb incident happened in the northern suburbs some time ago. I saw in person that he and a guy wearing a silvery mask in a black robe were together. And it was the person in the black robe who designed the bomb incident. In Diannan, when Monkey was temporarily conscious, he told me half of his words, and then these people were after me. In Diannan, I was hunted by the masked man. They all seemed to be Fuso people, and the hunter should be the guy from the Descendants of God Organization lurking in Ninghai.”
Ding Ning said with concrete evidence.
Apparently, Mo Fei knew that Ding Ning was hunted in Diannan, so he didn’t ask further about it.
But the information Ding Ning provided was very important. That there were secret informers in Diannan’s military camp was not a small matter. Though he was the director of the Ninghai National Security Bureau, he had no access to the military region to conduct an investigation. Instead, he must report to his senior leaders.
In addition, Liu Junwei’s affair would make him very embarrassed. Once the investigation confirmed that Liu Junwei had colluded with the Descendants of God Organization, he, the Director of the National Security Bureau who recruited him for the Bureau by using his “unique sharp eyes” would also fall into trouble.
Since this had happened, he would not escape his responsibility. If anything was related to the Descendants of God Organization, he would have to treat it prudently. Compared with his official position, the harm to the nation that was likely to be caused by the Descendants of God Organization was the most scaring thing.
“By the way, Uncle Mo, I want to tell you one more situation. Do you know Deng Nine-Finger?”
Ding Ning suddenly thought of Deng Nine-Finger’s affair and said hurriedly.
“One of the underworld bosses. What’s wrong with him? He also has connections with the Descendants of God Organization?”
Mo Fei’s complexion became weird. “It seems that this little guy has more information than what the National Security Bureau has.”
“I’m not sure if he has connections with the Descendants of God Organization, but I know that Deng Nine-Finger and his subordinates Violent Dragon and Fire Phoenix are all superpower holders.”
Ding Ning thought about it and said.
“What? Three superpower holders?”
Mo Fei’s expression changed. Superpower holders had abilities beyond humans’ reach. Once he found them, he must report to his senior leaders at once.
Even if superpower holders had not committed any crimes, they had to agree to be supervised by the special department; otherwise, they would be killed unconditionally.
This didn’t mean that superpower holders were stronger than the Warriors, but that their abilities were much too strange and unpredictable. If they were not properly regulated, they would bring great harm to society.
“Deng Nine-Finger is not only a superpower holder but also a very powerful thunder-and-lightning superpower holder. His superpower is shooting thunder and lightning with his eyes, and Violent Dragon’s is that his body surface can metalize, but I don’t know about the superpowers of Fire Phoenix.”
Ding Ning said in a seeking-truth-from-facts manner, but it made Mo Fei’s expression change dramatically. “He is not only a thunder-and-lightning superpower holder but also a person who shoots thunder and lightning with his eyes. This superpower is extremely rare and eerie, and I must report to the senior leaders now.”
Then, he asked Ding Ning in detail about how he got the information. No doubt, Ding Ning would not tell him the truth but fabricated a story that he had an unintentional small fight with Violent Dragon and then realized that he was a superpower holder. This aroused his curiosity.
After that, he used his remote-controlled drone to trail after Violent Dragon, but it was found by Deng Nine-Finger, who shot thunder and lightning with his eyes and destroyed the drone. By then, he realized that Deng Nine-Finger was a thunder-and-lightning superpower holder.
Mo Fei did not believe a word of his bullshit, but he did not ask anymore. After all, Ding Ning was the son of his Big Brother Dragon Teeth. He would only protect him and would not get him in trouble.
As for whether Deng Nine-Finger was a superpower holder or not, he would know it after sending excellent fighters to test him. Anyway, as long as he reported to the leaders, some specially-assigned people would go and investigate it.
He would report these pieces of information he had got from Ding Ning to the leaders in time, so he had no time to chat with Ding Ning any longer and went hurriedly to report the situation, asking Ding Ning to leave secretly lest that their relationship be found by others.
Finally, Ding Ning ended one of his worries. He believed that with the National Security Bureau getting involved, Liu Junwei would not have happy days in the future.
These days, he had no clue about Liu Junwei’s hiding place. No trace of him was found as if he had evaporated from the human world. Thus, Ding Ning seemed to feel that there was a fishbone in his throat, and he had to spit it out.
Anyone who stayed alert all the time with worry to prevent his enemy lurking in the dark from attacking him would feel uncomfortable. Since even Xiaojin could not find him, he simply used the strength of the National Security Bureau to give him pressure, making him too busy to trap him. If he dared to show himself, Ding Ning would kill him instantly.
“Tinkle!”
Taking a look at his watch, he found it was already evening, ready to stop a taxi to go home when his phone rang. Seeing that it was his sister’s call, Ding Ning knew that she must have learned that someone came to his house to fight him. Immediately, he answered the call and told her the details.
“If you are fine, that’s okay. I’m going to a party tonight and will possibly go home a little late.”
Ding Qianlie was relieved only after learning that he was fine and said this to him by the way.
“Got it. Take care of yourself.”
Ding Ning reminded her.
“Don’t worry. Xiahou and Lisa will be with me today.”
Ding Qianlie hung up after a sweet smile.
“Oh, is that Lao San? Why is he here?”
Just as he stowed away his phone, ready to stop a taxi, Ding Ning saw that Zhao Xin was phoning someone on the roadside in front of a Tiguan of Volkswagen. He was about to play a prank by walking over to pat his shoulder and scare him, but his phone suddenly rang again.
Taking out his phone and seeing the caller ID, Ding Ning laughed. “It turns out this guy is calling me.”
As he tiptoed toward his back, he answered the phone call, “Lao San, how did you get the idea to call me?”
“Lao Liu, where are you now? Lao Er has returned. I will tell our brothers to have a party tonight, ahh…”
Abruptly, Ding Ning patted his shoulder. Zhao Xin was scared and shrieked, his phone nearly fell, and he patted his chest and said exaggeratingly, “Lord, why are you here?”
“I haven’t asked you yet. Why are you here? I remember that this is working time, right? Why are you not in your company? You left your work without asking for leave, didn’t you?”
Ding Ning was really curious why Zhao Xin had come to the National Security Bureau.
“Jesus, I am one of the best forensic doctors of the new generation in Ninghai. My teacher is a forensic doctor at the National Security Bureau. When there is nothing to do in the Bureau, I’ll come and learn with my teacher.”
Zhao Xin looked at Ding Ning strangely. “Guy, you committed a crime, didn’t you? What did you come to the National Security Bureau for if you are safe and sound?”
“I passed by and just saw you were here, and then I went to your back.”
Ding Ning replied unclearly and changed the topic. “What did you say just now? Lao Er has come back?”
“Yes, this guy is great. He went to work in Yan Jing for half a year and has brought back a Yan Jing wife. It is said that she is the daughter of some powerful Yan Jing family. I think he will come to show off, and he also specially called me and asked me to inform you. Then, will you be free tonight? Let’s have a party.”
Zhao Xin said jokingly.
“Okay, I haven’t seen Lao Er for a long time.”
Ding Ning accepted this invitation just after a moment of hesitation. Although he and his Lao Er had some disputes in the last period, they lived in the same dormitory for several years. In the past, they had a very good relationship. He hadn’t seen him for so long, and he had long put aside their past small hatred. Since this guy had specially invited him, he would look mean if he did not go.
His Lao Er was named Fan Kun, who was a very shrewd Ninghai local, was excessively mean in his dealings, and also liked showing off, majoring in economic management. His family did business, and he had good living conditions. After graduation, he did what his father did and went to work in the Yan Jing branch of the company.
The hatred between him and Ding Ning was very tasteless. When they were at college, Fan Kun fell in love with their department’s beauty queen Lin Yan and worked out numerous methods to curry favor with her. After he spent lots of money, she finally agreed to make friends with him.
Unexpectedly, when Fan Kun took Lin Yan to his dormitory to show off, the moment Lin Yan saw Ding Ning, she instantly became embarrassed. After going back, she said goodbye to Fan Kun.
Fan Kun was confused. No matter how he asked, Lin Yan did not tell him the reason. Later, one of her roommates told him that Lin Yan said that Ding Ning once pursued her but was refused by her. They lived in the same dormitory, and Lin Yan was uncomfortable with it, so she did not want to continue to be friends with him.
Fan Kun was distressed and went to question Ding Ning about it, but Ding Ning only said, “She is not suitable for you”, and then he would not say anything more.
With envy and hatred, Fan Kun angrily shouted that Ding Ning was not a human. After stopped by others, they did not fight, but their relationship became worse gradually. There was a probability that they would never communicate with each other.
But Ding Ning cherished the brother who once lived with him in the same dormitory very much. Now there was a chance to repair their relationship, so he would not let it go.
Yet, what Ding Ning did not tell him at that time was that when he worked in a bar in the past, he unintentionally saw that Lin Yan and another rich Childe did their romance in the washroom.
Due to this reason, that Childe went to beat him with violent force, but Ding Ning gave him a good beating in turn. After that, that Childe fired Ding Ning from that bar with his social relations. Naturally, Lin Yan had a very deep impression of him.
“Why do you still take the past to heart?”
In the car, Zhao Xin asked Ding Ning with a smile as he drove.
“I have long taken it out of heart, but I am afraid that Lao Er can’t forget it.”
Ding Ning shook his head with a wry smile.
Zhao Xin heaved a sigh. “I just don’t understand why you didn’t tell Lao Er the truth? Why did you have to be the scapegoat?”
“The scapegoat or not, that’s not a problem. A good person will not worry about being said bad, while a bad person can’t justify his bad deeds through self-defense. Everyone has their own living style. Although Lin Yan’s behavior doesn’t meet the moral standards of a good woman, that is her living style, and I have no right to comment. Or perhaps, she had a hard time and needed money. If I could not hold my tongue and said it, how could such a girl show herself in public at the school? Besides, do you think Lao Er would believe me even if I told him when he was so much attracted by Lin Yan? I am afraid that he would think I was trying to smear her image on purpose.”
Ding Ning smiled indifferently.
“You, you, just because you have a high-souled character and don’t want to explain much, so you and Lao Da and other brothers finally appeared united outwardly but divided at heart. If I hadn’t known that you have such a cold character, I would have thought that you were the avatar of a sage.”
Zhao Xin was somewhat speechless and said.
“Hehe, why do I feel like you are showing off your view that you are wise but everyone else is silly? Others misunderstood me, but why not you?”
Ding Ning joked with a smile.
“That’s because I am as handsome as you, so I won’t envy you.”
To shamelessly show off, Zhao Xin shook the fringe at his forehead a few times.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes. “Narcissist.”
“Narcissism comes from the inward extreme confidence. It proves that I have an extremely strong mentality.”
Zhao Xin gloated, looked at himself in the rear-view mirror, and said enchanted, “Look, the phrase ‘handsome young man’ is used to address me.”
“So shameless.”
Ding Ning acted like someone vomiting, and then the two of them began to laugh and play as if they had returned to their carefree time as students.
Ding Ning liked the feeling of being together with Zhao Xin very much. As a forensic doctor, Zhao Xin could be counted as a member of the medical sector, so he must have learned that Ding Ning had risen to fame recently, but he never mentioned that and still got along with him like before. This was a tacit understanding, one which the quiet and light friendship between gentlemen showed.
As soon as Ding Ning and Zhao Xin stepped out of the car in the outdoor parking lot in front of the resplendent hotel, they saw Fan Kun standing in front of the door at first sight, who wore a suit and a tie as if he was a bridegroom.
Compared with the unripe himself at school, now he had become much mature and prudent. Standing beside him was a girl of good looks, who was whispering something to him while taking his arm.
“Lao Er, are you especially standing at the door waiting for me and Lao Liu?”
Zhao Xin smiled and called from a distance.
