Chapter 113: Thousand Meter Ears?

  "Big sis, please think carefully again. It's not necessarily that someone has to go up there, or if you've seen anything unusual." Leng Bing was still unwilling to give up.

  Unfortunately, the female boss thought carefully again and shook her head with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, policewoman, I'm really not quite sure, why don't you ask someone else?"

  "Alright, thank you sister." Leng Bingbing was a bit disappointed. Although many people were entering and exiting the door, few were fixed at the entrance. She had also carefully checked that there were no surveillance devices nearby, and it was indeed difficult to know if anyone had been in that car.

  She then asked more than a dozen people, still with no results. Helpless, she had to leave again, this time taking Xia Tian directly to the First Affiliated Hospital.

  Outside Yun Qing's ward, two police officers were standing guard in the corridor. Inside the ward, Li Ping was chatting with Yun Qing about something. Since the last hijacking incident at the hospital where hostages were taken, Li Ping had become even more vigilant towards similar situations. This time, he was protecting Yun Qing personally and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

  "Captain Xia, you've arrived." Seeing the two of them coming in together, Li Ping couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. He hadn't returned to the police station yet today, so he naturally didn't know what had happened in the office.

  "Li Ping, can you step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with Lawyer Yun privately," said Leng Bingbing, then turned to Xia Tian with an expression as if she had just discovered him, "What are you still following me for?"

  "Officer Sister, you haven't finished work yet, of course I'll follow you." Xia Tian said with a matter-of-fact expression.

  "What does this have to do with whether I'm off work or not?" she said coldly.

  "Ha ha, Officer Sister, you're still on duty, so I won't be able to go home with you!"

  "Who said I'm going home with you?" Leng Bing was a bit annoyed, this guy still stuck to her and wouldn't let go!

  With a wave of her hand, she coldly decided to temporarily stop discussing the issue with this guy: "Anyway, you go out first, I have something to discuss with Lawyer Yun."

  "Alright, I'll wait for you to go together." Xia Tian agreed readily and immediately followed Li Ping out of the ward.

  Leng Bingbing had just appeared, and Yun Qing immediately sensed that something was amiss. As soon as Xia Tian and Li Ping went out, she asked: "Captain Leng, what's going on?"

  "Ma Er just died," said Leng Bing coldly in a low voice. "There was a bomb planted in his car."

  "Is it Ma Er Geng?" Yun Qing's face changed greatly, "Ji Nan's driver?"

  "That's right, it was his driver." He nodded coldly, "I suspect he was silenced, so, Lawyer Yun, if you still know any important clues, hurry up and say them out, otherwise, we're afraid we really won't be able to find any evidence at all."

  "It's too late, it's already too late. Now that Ma Er'gang is dead, we can't find any evidence." Yun Qing muttered to himself, with a regretful expression. "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Ji Nan didn't even spare Ma Er'gang. He followed Ji Nan for twenty whole years!"

  "Twenty years?" She was shocked, although she knew that Ma Er had been driving for Ji Nan for a very long time, but she didn't expect it to be so long.

  "That's right, for twenty years, twenty years ago, when Ji Nan was just a town mayor, Ma Er'gou started driving for him. Then, no matter where Ji Nan was transferred to, he would take Ma Er'gou with him. Some people even say that the person Ji Nan trusts most is not his wife or son, but his driver, Ma Er'gou." Yun Qing gritted her teeth, "Ma Er'gou looks honest and simple-minded, but who knows how many shady things he's done for Ji Nan!"

  "Cloud lawyer, I want to ask you, what is the relationship between Ji Nan and Li Shan?" Cold icy hesitated for a moment before finally asking this most crucial question.

  Yun Qing shook his head, looking a bit disheartened: "Forget it, Xiang Xiang is already dead, and I don't want to tarnish her reputation after she's gone. With Ma Er Gou dead, there's no point in investigating this case further. Even if you find evidence, it'll all be attributed to Ma Er Gou's doing. Let's just end it here, Captain."

  "Frosty and unyielding, he furrowed his brow: 'Lawyer Yun, you want to give up just like that?'"

  "Xiang Xiang once told me that people like us can't beat him. At the time, I didn't believe it, but now I know she was right, we really can't beat him." Yun Qing smiled bitterly, "Leng Team Leader, I advise you to stop investigating this case too. Think about the car accident I got into today and think about Ma Er being blown up just now. Don't get yourself involved, it's not worth it."

  "Cloud lawyer, I'm a criminal police officer. If someone commits murder, I'll go investigate. If you really want to seek justice for your friend, you shouldn't have anything to hide from me." said in a cold and detached tone.

  "Alright, Captain Leng, let's just pretend I never said anything." Yun Qing said in a low voice.

  "Cloud lawyer, I hope you seriously consider it. If you change your mind, remember to call me." Leng Bingbing didn't continue to persuade him, Cloud Qing was a lawyer after all, not the kind of person who could be easily convinced. It was better to let Cloud Qing think for himself rather than her trying to persuade him further.

  Yun Qing nodded slightly, her mind was a bit muddled now, and she really needed to think carefully. Ma Er's death had completely disrupted her thinking. She had investigated Ji Nan and speculated about many possibilities, but she had never expected that Ji Nan would also poison Ma Er.

  He didn't stay for long and left immediately.

  "Li Ping, get your people to buck up, don't let Yun lawyer have an accident!" Leng Bingbing ordered coldly and left the hospital, while Xia Tian followed her out.

  Just got on the car and opened the door, received that unwilling call again.

  "What's wrong?" The icy tone became even more indifferent.

  "Are you still investigating that case?" The voice on the phone was somewhat serious.

  "None of your business!" she retorted coldly.

  A soft sigh on the phone: "I knew it, you won't give up easily, but Ice, after all these years, just listen to me this once, don't investigate anymore, okay?"

  "Why should I listen to you? What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?" A cold, icy laugh escaped her lips. "When I was a kid, you didn't take care of me, and now, I need you even less!"

  She slammed down the phone, her icy anger surging up again as she thought of her mother who had died in depression, and her own grey childhood. She couldn't help but feel an even thicker hatred towards the man on the other end of the line.

  "Police flower sister, is it your dad who's calling you?" came a voice from beside Xia Tian.

  Suddenly turning her head, she shouted at Xia Tian: "I don't have a dad!"

  But Xia Tian didn't get angry, he just smiled coldly and said: "Police flower sister, I don't have a dad either."

  She was taken aback, her anger suddenly disappearing without a trace. She thought about how she had investigated this guy's situation before and found that he seemed to have popped out of nowhere, like a stone. Her tone softened involuntarily as she asked, "You don't have a dad either?"

  "I don't really remember, Master said that Dad and Mom didn't want me, and they threw me on the road, but I don't quite believe it. I remember going to kindergarten, and then eloping with Fairy Sister." Xia Tian scratched his head, things from childhood were indeed very vague, the only clear memory was the scene when he first met Fairy Sister.

  "You're saying you don't have a father or a mother?" Leng Bingbing was slightly stunned, this rascal is actually an orphan?!

  "Ah, yeah! But with a fairy sister like you by my side, no one dares to bully me. So, Policewoman Sister, don't worry if you don't have a dad, I've got your back! If anyone dares to bully you, I'll go beat them up!"

  "Then go ahead and beat yourself up!" Leng Bing said coldly, but perhaps because of the feeling of sharing a common suffering, suddenly, Leng Bing seemed to not hate Xia Tian as much as before.

  "In the summer, a serious answer was given: 'Police flower sister, this won't do. If I hit myself, that's self-mutilation. Third Master said that men who mutilate themselves are weak. I'm not a weak man.'"

  She felt a chill and was slightly depressed because she suddenly realized that she actually agreed with what Xia Tian had said.

  "By the way, Policewoman Sister, who is Ji Nan?" Xia Tian suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

  Her expression changed: "Where did you hear this name?"

  "Summer innocently looked at Leng Bingbing: 'Police Flower sister, what did you just say to Yun Qing sister?'"

  "What?" Leng Bingbing glared at Xia Tian with a hint of annoyance, "Were you just eavesdropping?"

  "I didn't!" Xia Tian felt wronged, "My hearing is very good, people far away from me speaking, I can hear them. You guys are so close to me talking, of course, I can hear you."

  "Why didn't you say you were a thousand-mile ear?" said Cold Ice with an unpleasant tone.

  Summer corrected seriously: "Police flower sister, it's not a thousand li ear, but a thousand meter ear. If I listen carefully, I can hear people talking about 1,000 meters away from me."

  Left speechless for a moment, is this rascal even human? Could he be a monster?!

  "But in the summer, she kept asking: 'Police flower sister, you haven't told me yet, who is Ji Nan after all? Why does Yun Qing sister seem to be afraid of him?"

  He slowly let out a breath of cold air and said in a low voice: "Ji Nan is the Executive Vice Governor of Pinghai Province."

  "Oh, it's just the vice governor, why is Yunqing sister so afraid of him?" Xia Tian looked puzzled.

  It's freezing cold and I have an urge to strangle summer to death. He's just a deputy provincial governor, but listening to him talk, you'd think he's the President of the country!

  "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be?" Cold and icy, gritting her teeth, "Do you know how great the power of a deputy provincial governor is? No matter if it's Yun Qing or me, with just one word from them, we'll be doomed forever!"

  Xiatian was a bit skeptical, but Second Master had taken down two presidents before!
