Chapter 313 - The Manor Plan

Chapter 313 The Manor Plan

“Alas, if only my brother-in-law were Master of the Divine Burin! With his help, sister, your company would be big and strong.”

Murong Yixiao felt a little disappointed and said, “No matter how good his relationship with Master of the Divine Burin, they still have a gap after all.”

“It doesn’t matter. Master of the Divine Burin and he are close friends. Master of the Divine Burin will listen to him for sure.”

Murong Yanran felt a little faint pride. “He is the Master of the Divine Burin. As long as he treats me as his sister, he will not refuse to help me.”

“My brother-in-law is brilliant. A man like Master of the Divine Burin even listens to him. I am curious about his background!”

Thinking of the words of Knife Scar he met that night, Murong Yixiao grew more awed. “I am wondering which powerful family he comes from, so he can have such a strong man.”

“He is but a nameless doctor, a good person.”

When Murong Yanran thought of Ding Ning, his words “Even if you were a wild rose, I would pluck all your thorns and let your pistil show” seemed to be sounding in her ears again. Then, her face turned hot, and her heart beat faster. With resentment, she pouted. “Stinky rascal, just talks, but doesn’t move, only boasts.”

“Did you say my brother-in-law is only a nameless doctor?”

Shocked, Murong Yixiao opened his mouth wide. “Is it that my sister doesn’t know my brother-in-law’s background, either?”

After waiting a long time, he didn’t hear Murong Yanran’s reply. Raising his head, he found his sister’s eyes were full of joy, her face was red, and her brows and eyes were with love. She was in a daze. So, he called her hurriedly.

“Ah, the food is burned…”

Coming back to earth, Murong Yanran suddenly smelled a burned smell, screamed out of shock, and scrambled to turn off the fire.

The sister and brother busied themselves in panic for a while, made a mess in the kitchen before stopping the fire, and couldn’t help giving a wry smile to each other. “Now, we’d better order takeout.”

“Ring!”

Murong Yanran picked up her phone and pleasantly clicked on the message sent by Ding Ning. “Sister, you think too much. I am developing a medicine. My phone was muted, so I didn’t hear it. During this time, I will probably be like this all the time. If you have anything, send me messages, I will spare time to read them.”

Murong Yanran heaved a long sigh of relief and scolded herself silently for being stupid. Several days ago, Ding Ning specially called her and said he was busy developing drugs recently and probably wouldn’t have time to answer the phone.

“How can I forget it? I have been worried and afraid he would be angry. Is it that like what Yixiao said, I care about Ding Ning’s feelings so much because I have liked him?

“No…impossible.” Murong Yanran shook her hear promptly, wishing to shake off this idea. Who she liked was the Black Masked Man. How could she have liked Ding Ning? He was but a good brother.

Calming herself down, Murong Yanran replied with a text message, “Good, keep working.”

Ding Ning saw the message, smiled but didn’t reply, and dialed a number instantly, “Hello, Director Qi, I am Ding Ning. The truth is like this. This time, Yu Qian also made a meritorious deed. I promised him that he would have less punishment. Director Qi, what do you think?”

“No problem, I will give him less punishment reasonably. Secretary Xu and I have visited you several times, but you have been sleeping. So, I didn’t bother you. Now, what about your wound?”

Qi Ruoxian promised immediately and asked with concern.

After all, this time, thanks to Ding Ning, they destroyed an arms smuggling group and earned some reputation for the police of Ninghai.

He never thought Gu Fangran was so bold that he sold arms secretly.

Most importantly, according to the records of sales in the U disk Ding Ning took out from the safe deposit box, the arms used by the mercenaries who attacked the detention house last time were also provided by Gu Fangran.

The Buick commercial vehicle Maimed Tiger and his accomplices drove when attacking the detention center was the one reported lost by Hongda group. So, people had to suspect that Gu Fangran was probably the mysterious “Black Fox”.

Now the National Security Bureau had fully intervened to further investigate if Gu Fangran was the mysterious “Black Fox.”

“I’ve been discharged from the hospital. Now I’m developing medicine at Ninghai University. By the way, Director Qi, Liu Shasha and Li Xiaoman’s coerced evidence…”

Ding Ning hesitated but asked.

“Why do you want to leave the hospital so soon? Li Xiaoman and her partner’s coerced evidence has been found. Gu Tianqi is an animal. He had evidence that they had group-sex, and he also used dogs to… alas! But don’t worry, only the specific investigators know that. I have ordered to destroy the evidence and won’t let it go public. As for the two poor girls, I’m not going to hold them accountable for their criminal responsibilities. After all, the site was in a mess, and trampled to death was normal.”

Qi Ruoxian didn’t want to say it and went straight to his solution.

Dark-faced, Ding Ning never thought Gu Tianqi was such a pervert. So, Li Xiaoman didn’t want to say it for whatever reasons. Such an insult was beyond anyone’s endurance. If the b*stard were still alive, he would cut him into pieces first and then burn him to ashes.

But Qi Ruoxian’s solution made him feel at ease. “Okay. Think in their position, both of them are also poor girls. This can also be a lesson for them. Thank you, Director Qi.”

“Hi, Consultant Ding, now we are a family. If someone needs to say thanks, it should be me thanking you and Xiao Nuo. Without both of you, my director’s position should have been over.”

Qi Ruoxian still felt a little afraid and spoke.

It was not a joke. Before the National Day, especially if an explosion occurred at the time when top rich people and collectors from different countries gathered in Ninghai to attend the auction, it would lead to quite a bad influence in the world. By then, not only Ninghai’s international city image, but also the entire Shenzhou government’s image would be questioned by the world opinion.

If Ding Ning had not exploded the bomb in the river immediately and minimized the impact, he would have resigned because of his fault, and Mayor Du and Director Mo Fei of the National Security Bureau would probably have had a bad end.

Although the street gunfight also had a very bad impact, Bihaiyuntian was fortunately located in a northern suburb near the river, where the population was not dense. Plus, it happened in the middle of the night, so the impact was not so bad.

In addition, the police seized large numbers of arms and opened fire only after encircling and suppressing the arms dealers. Therefore, the positive image of the bravery and fearlessness of the police was set up naturally.

The truth was that Ding Ning prevented the blast from happening and saved many people’s political careers.

After receiving the report, Mayor Du had a cold sweat out of shock. He didn’t wish to make dramatic changes and only wanted stability, but he went furious because of the explosion that nearly drew the world’s attention.

According to Gu Fangran’s account book, a task force was set up to investigate all the officials who had contacts with Gu Fangran.

Large numbers of officials were ousted and investigated, including Director of the Municipal Engineering Committee of Jingpu District, Deputy Director of the District Bureau of Land and Resources, Director of the Bidding Office, Director of the District Urban Development Bureau, and so on. Among them were Luo Shihai, who was the Deputy District Director and had the highest-ranking, and Qu Guangcai, Secretary of Deputy Mayor Jiang Zhongze.

All the accusations pointed at Jiang Zhongze, who was probably the protector of Gu Fangran. After all, Qu Guangcai was only a secretary. With his limited status and power, he could not be the backer of Gu Fangran. No one would believe Jiang Zhongze had not gotten involved.

Unfortunately, Qu Guangcai and Luo Shihai committed suicide instantly for fear of punishment after they realized something was wrong, and the clue was lost. So, Mayor Du’s plan that was to use the clue to further investigate and make Jiang Zhongze ousted failed.

Anyway, even if Jiang Zhongze was lucky this time, he would lose some of his forces, his power would slump, and he wouldn’t be so arrogant. In a short time, he would never dare to make waves again.

“Since we are all friends, I don’t need to be so courteous. You know, I’m developing medicine now. Recently, I may not have time to take care of the things at the police station. Now, please allow me to take some time off from work.”

Knowing the problem was solved successfully, Ding Ning decided to focus on the medicine development and specially told it to Director Qi.

“No problem. By the way, your certificate has been issued and put in Captain Xiao’s place. You can take it when you have time.”

“Okay, but I am in no hurry. So be it!’

Ding Ning hung up, waked out of the lab, and drove straight to the courtyard in the western suburbs. He needed to go home and take the 9000-year-old ganoderma lucidum.

Luoxue lived alone in the courtyard in the western suburbs to look after the herbs. Since she hadn’t seen Ding Ning for a few days, when he was back, she rushed into his arms happily.

After Chu Yunxiu came to the company to work, Ling Fei only came here once each day, to check if Xiao Chunan had left any marks, but he wouldn’t usually spend the night here.

Fortunately, Ding Luoxue had the experience of spending three years without seeing the sunlight. Otherwise, an ordinary person could not stand such loneliness.

Ding Ning held her with a little guilt and softly explained to her that he was developing medicine recently and probably wouldn’t come back for some time.

Luoxue didn’t complain and just help him sort out his belongings, but she was not in high spirit, making Ding Ning feel sorry.

Ding Ning hesitated but said, “Or you can go to the lab with me. I am afraid you will get bored.”

“Brother, as long as I can see you, I won’t!”

Ding Luoxue changed from sorrow to joy and held his hand to guarantee, but she thought of something instantly and said a little nervously, “Brother, what about your herbs with no one’s care?”

“It doesn’t matter. I will ask others to do that.”

Ding Ning had planned about that for so long. Xiaoniu, Gong Qiang, and their other friends were still working as security guards in Tianfu Company. As soon as Qian Yongjin recovered, they would resign.

Led by Ling Yun, Feng Jun and Lu Zhan protected her, and Cheng Hu and his two friends were assistants and usually lived in the Green Cloud Club. Now, he wanted them to come here to take care of his herb garden.

The herb garden only occupied three yards. Ding Ning decided to refurbish the courtyard with a small three-story building and made it the residence of Cheng Hu and his friends. After all, many of them were married, and they could move their families here and take care of them.

He also planned to use the underground cave as their training base, lest that these overenergetic guys run madly in the street all the time and disturb the living of the residents.

After calling Cheng Hu and telling him everything, Ding Ning knew they would return to their original quarters to collect their belongings and wouldn’t come in two hours. So, with a snicker, he carried the shy Ding Luoxue to the room…

Just as their romance ended, Cheng Hu called him and said they were arriving soon. They sorted out everything and went to receive Cheng Hu and his two friends.

After he told his plan, Cheng Hu and others were excited and thanked him again and again. They had been afraid they would bring more burdens to Ding Ning, and so they were too shy to mention bringing their families here.

Now Ding Ning proposed that their family members would be given priority to work in Shengtang Company. He would also ask Ling Yun to arrange suitable positions for those who were not suitable for working in the company and root out their worries about their families.

Especially after Ding Ning opened the basement and led them into the underground cave, three of them nearly leapt for joy and began to happily discuss where they should put their different training facilities.

Ding Ning just received 2.4 billion yuan. Generously, he passed a 50 million bank card to Cheng Hu and asked him to power up and supply water to the underground training base during this time and also build a wall outside the herb garden, making a manor out of the house. If he could buy the nearby houses and expand their manor’s scale, that would be much better.

Previously, Ding Ning already had this idea, but he didn’t want to expose the underground cave, so he didn’t do anything, but now he could rely on Cheng Hu and his friends. Naturally, he needed to plan carefully.
