135: Matters of cooperation

Captain Novich had thought about starting with the fact that they drove tanks around so ostentatiously, but Bear market law did not explicitly prohibit this; it should fall under military regulations.

But no matter what, as long as he could get a conviction, he could make this yellow-skinned guy suffer!

Thinking of this, the smile on Captain Novich's face became even more smug.

He had Kakanov's employee, Kodo Yiqi, to thank for all of this.

When Xu Ning first stepped into the shop, Kakanov quickly gave Kodo Yiqi a look, signaling him to call the police. Kodo Yiqi, taking advantage of no one paying attention, quietly dialed the police station, which is what brought the security.

Little Ivan and his companions were covered in cold sweat at this moment, because they had absolutely no combat experience. Xu Ning had them go inside, and they hadn't thought to leave someone outside.

Now seeing the security, they were even more nervous; if they weren't wearing sunglasses, the security probably would have seen their panic.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, what should we do now?" Little Ivan asked Xu Ning in a trembling voice.

Xu Ning remained calm, but in reality, his mind was in a state of chaos.

"This is troublesome..."

The standoff didn't last long before Kakanov rushed out of the shop. Due to his lack of exercise, he ran too fast and tripped as soon as he got out the door, but he didn't have time to worry about that. He scrambled up while shouting loudly, "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Captain Novich, tell your men to put down their guns, this is a misunderstanding, Mr. Xu is here to visit this time."

"What? Visit?"

Captain Novich almost suspected he had misheard. He tried to give Kakanov a look, but the latter completely ignored him, because he noticed Xu Ning's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant.

"They are here to visit, Captain Novich, quickly tell your men to put away their guns!"

Kakanov seemed very anxious and directly ignored Norvich's gaze. Although Norvich didn't understand what was happening, he still ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons, and then he quickly approached Kakanov and whispered a complaint in his ear.

"Seriously, this was a good opportunity to catch this kid, Kakanov, were you scared silly by him?"

Kakanov's face turned very ugly, and he responded softly, "We'll talk about it later."

At this point, he immediately turned around and walked quickly to Xu Ning's front, his face full of fawning smiles.

"Mr. Xu, please don't mind, this is all a misunderstanding, I don't know how these security officers ended up here."

"Please rest assured, I will have them leave immediately."

Kakanov's obsequious manner left Captain Novich dumbfounded, just like how he felt the first time he met his father-in-law.

This made Captain Novich wonder, could it be that Xu Ning had bought everything in the shop?

Only money could make the stingy Kakanov so submissive.

Xu Ning's face was ashen, and after a moment he said, "I remember saying, for a sincere apology, kneel down."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Instantly, the entire street was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Whether it was Little Ivan and his companions brought by Xu Ning, or Captain Novich and his subordinates, they all looked at Xu Ning as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone was thinking: Is this person crazy?

You know, right now only Kakanov could help them avoid being arrested, how could he provoke the other party like this?

For a moment, the silent Kakanov became the center of attention.

Everyone was waiting to see him explode as usual, slap Xu Ning, and even Little Ivan and his companions thought so.

However, what happened next surprised everyone even more.

After being silent for a while, Kakanov actually smiled.

"Alright, Mr. Xu, I'll show you my sincerity now."

With that, Kakanov slowly knelt down. This action was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, was this still that black-hearted merchant?

How could they know that Kakanov's heart bowed to the mountain of money.

The moment Xu Ning proposed the condition, Kakanov had already made a decision in his heart.

Just thinking of the generous profit made him incredibly excited, like a dozen feathers tickling his chest.

This money, he had to earn it!

As a shrewd businessman, as long as there was enough benefit, he was even willing to sell the rope used to hang himself.

What's more, the profit from these computers far exceeded the value of a rope.

Now, in his eyes, Xu Ning was a glittering golden mountain.

Just as he was about to kneel before this "golden mountain," a hand suddenly reached out, supported him, and pulled him up.

Kakanov looked up, looking at Xu Ning in disbelief, not knowing what he was up to.

Xu Ning smiled at the other party and said gently, "We have an ancient saying, 'When you can spare someone, spare them,' please forgive my earlier excitement, at this moment I cherish our friendship even more."

"Mr. Xu..." Kakanov was speechless for a moment, his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

Xu Ning's understanding and generosity deeply moved Kakanov, and the people around were also incredibly surprised, especially Captain Novich, who was close to Kakanov; he almost dropped the gun in his hand.

This moment seemed to recreate a scene from the Middle Ages where nobles forgave and gained loyalty. The farce gradually subsided. Although Captain Novich was unwilling, he still followed Kakanov's instructions and ordered his subordinates to step back, making way for Xu Ning and his group.

Little Ivan and the others were relieved and happily ran towards their tanks. Their young hearts could not hide their inner joy.

Kakanov did not notice the excitement of these young people, but instead quietly inquired about the cooperation with Xu Ning.

"Mr. Xu, our cooperation..."

Xu Ning immediately replied, "If you are willing to continue, then we will continue to cooperate."

The stone in Kakanov's heart fell to the ground, "That's great! I'll go back to Staller immediately and will have good news for you soon!"

Xu Ning smiled and extended his right hand. The two shook hands in reconciliation, "Here's to a smooth cooperation."

"Very pleasant!" Kakanov echoed.

Captain Novich stood to the side, his fingers repeatedly tightening and loosening on the gun grip, watching Xu Ning and his team drive the tanks away, his eyes full of rage.

He thought this was a good opportunity to teach Xu Ning a lesson, but it was ruined by Kakanov. He didn't understand why Kakanov had such a change and could only wait until later to ask for a clear explanation.

On the way back, Little Ivan didn't fight for the driver's seat, but sat next to Xu Ning. After a moment, he seemed to have a new realization.

"Mr. Xu, I understand what you said now."

Little Ivan's eyes were burning, as if a flame was igniting, this was the first time he had ever felt admiration for someone.
