182: Chapter 182 Kill them all!

Lin Ning glanced at the thick, gold-flecked green light above Director Zhang's head and decided to reveal a little bit of the inside story that could be shared.

In any case, after yesterday's commotion, Lin Ning was basically openly famous among the Sub-bureau's upper management.

Apart from Director Jin and his gang being dragged away while he was politely escorted out.

The fact that his file had a red mark would also lead the Sub-bureau's leaders to label Lin Ning as a person requiring special attention.

They didn't want some blind fool to "bully" Lin Ning later on, causing them all, from top to bottom, to suffer the consequences again.

"This matter has to start with Huang Chenggen." Lin Ning omitted the parts that couldn't be told, only selecting the inside information that could be known within the Public Security Bureau to briefly explain it.

"Ma Xiaofu accidentally beat Huang Chenggen to death, found Director Jin, and wanted to push me out as a scapegoat. It just so happened that Ma Xiaofu's gang was already under investigation by the Ministry of State Security, which conveniently implicated Director Jin, so they were all rounded up in one go."

Officer Li Feng was listening from the side, stunned; he never expected it to be so convoluted, and even less did he expect Director Jin and his gang to be bold enough to commit such acts—in this area of Yanjing, at this time, they actually dared to frame people.

Moreover, Lin Ning had almost been caught up in it, but he didn't interrupt.

He just quietly listened to Director Zhang and Lin Ning talking.

After Lin Ning finished saying what needed to be said, he didn't linger and stood up to leave: "Well then, Uncle Zhang, you go ahead and get back to work."

"Alright, come to the house when you have time, and I'll have your auntie make you something delicious." Director Zhang's tone was exceptionally intimate.

Lin Ning and Officer Li Feng came out of the office, and in the hallway, Officer Li Feng whispered his thanks to Lin Ning: "Thanks, brother."

Lin Ning didn't explicitly say that Officer Li Feng could also take this opportunity to make a move, but by deliberately pulling Officer Li Feng in to listen earlier, his attitude was already very clear.

Lin Ning eyed him sideways: "You unfilial son, weren't you just looking down on me earlier?!"

Officer Li Feng raised his foot to kick his butt, but Lin Ning performed a serpentine dodge to avoid it and ran outside laughing heartily.

Having resolved a worry and gained an uncle, Lin Ning was in a great mood. Under the bright, white-glaring June sun, he rode his little e-bike straight to the company.

When he reached the company entrance, Lin Ning crept in, crouching down, wanting to jump out suddenly and startle Jiang Yu and Wang Qiao.

But the moment he got inside, he heard Jiang Yu's slightly husky, exceptionally alluring voice.

"That's right, men should take care of women. If a man can't give a woman a good life, what right does he have to complain that she can't stay faithful?"

Lin Ning froze on the spot.

"Everyone wants a good life, so why can't women have one? Are women born to suffer? What's the difference between using your youth and beauty to find someone with better conditions and working hard to climb up with a man? Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Lin Ning was completely baffled: Who is this? Has Jiang Yu been possessed?

He straightened up and looked blankly toward the source of the voice.

Jiang Yu was sitting at the desk, holding her phone to her ear with one hand, while the other hand held a pen, casually solving problems in a notebook.

Catching a glimpse of a figure in her peripheral vision, she looked up and, seeing it was Lin Ning, immediately revealed a relieved and happy expression, silently asking with her lips: Finished with your business?

She then spoke into the phone again, her tone particularly gentle and serious: "Right, you are in the right to divorce now. At this time, you must not let any leverage slip out, otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage when dividing property during the divorce."

Then her tone shifted to one of confusion and frustration, as if she were disappointed in someone's lack of ambition: "I really don't understand you. Wang Qiao's family is ordinary, and he doesn't have much ability himself; why do you insist on getting tangled up with him? After the divorce, you should take advantage of having money in your hands to dress yourself up properly and squeeze into a better circle. Finding a rich person who can take good care of you is what you should be doing. Rich people aren't stupid. If you coax them with gentleness, they will still investigate your past when it comes time to marry. For a second marriage, you can still play the victim and say you were betrayed. But if there are other men mixed in the middle, do you think rich men are stupid? Can they tolerate that? You're in a bad mood? Just endure it; who told us women to have such hard lives? These men only care about their own emotions and never consider women's legitimate needs."

What did the person on the other end of the phone say? Jiang Yu rolled her eyes with an impatient expression, but her tone was compassionate and helpless: "You still have to think for yourself. Go shopping and buy something to comfort yourself. I have to work now; the boss is glaring at me. Yeah, let's talk later."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu looked at the dumbfounded Lin Ning and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What is going on here?" Lin Ning seemed to understand, yet seemed not to.

Jiang Yu glanced at Wang Qiao and sarcastically spat out two words: "Guoguo~"

Lin Ning stiffened his neck, his head jerking as he looked at Wang Qiao, who was cowering beside him like a quail. Wang Qiao's expression was complex.

Lin Ning: "Huh?"

Jiang Yu said, "Wang Qiao received a call from her yesterday, crying and saying she missed him, that good-for-nothing."

As she spoke, she shot a glare at Wang Qiao, her willow-leaf eyebrows arched in anger, and Wang Qiao shrank back.

"I snatched the phone away and scolded her, heh."

Jiang Yu's expression was as if she had eaten a fly: "It was exactly as you described; her skin is so thick it's impenetrable. Scolding was useless, and she even argued with me that she was right to pursue a good life."

Lin Ning's brain finally started working: "So you..."

Jiang Yu said helplessly: "I had no choice but to hold back my disgust and play along with what she said, trying a different approach to see if I could persuade her to give up."

"Thick-skinned and brainless, but surprisingly easy to fool. I just repackaged all those words about her selling herself and lacking professional ethics." Jiang Yu shrugged, "And now we've added each other as friends."

Lin Ning never in a million years thought it could be handled this way: "Is it useful?"

Jiang Yu tilted her chin triumphantly.

Wang Qiao raised his hand tremblingly from the side: "At least... for this past day and night, Guoguo hasn't contacted me again."

Lin Ning beamed instantly, a strong sense of pride welling up from the bottom of his heart. My wife is just so damn capable and smart!!

You have to know, that weirdo Guoguo was someone that their entire dormitory plus all their friends couldn't deal with, even taking turns.

And yet, his wife solved it in just a few words.

Lin Ning took two large steps forward, swept Jiang Yu up horizontally from her chair, and excitedly spun around in place.

Jiang Yu let out a cry of surprise, then wrapped her arms around Lin Ning's neck and laughed happily as well.

After spinning a few times, Jiang Yu complained of feeling dizzy. Only then did Lin Ning put her down, lowered his head, cupped her face, and kissed her.

Wang Qiao watched this scene unfold, and the little bit of melancholy, pain, reluctance, and struggle in his heart was instantly replaced by a soaring resentment.

His face turned ashen; he wanted nothing more than to strangle this couple who were flaunting their love right there on the spot. Is there no humanity left? Flaunting their affection right in front of him?!!

Wang Qiao: Where's the Gatling gun? Where's my Gatling gun and the Italian cannon?!

Wang Qiao roared crazily in his heart—I want to kill you both! Kill them all!!!
