Chapter 295 Fang Xiaomu

“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.
