Chapter 125: Use his own way against him
Qiao Donghai's speculation was originally correct. As the vice governor, Ji Nan had no reason to intervene in this case, even though it involved a police officer being killed and was considered a major case. However, the name Xia Tian had already been whispered into Ji Nan's ear.
Because of some special reasons, Ji Nan has been concerned about the case of Mo Zilun and Li Shuang being killed. He originally hoped that this case could be closed with a simple burglary and murder, but unfortunately, it was this summer that intervened, making the case quickly become a homicide case, also giving Leng Bingbing a reason to continue investigating.
Yun Qing, this beautiful and persistent female lawyer, also made Ji Nan very annoyed. However, when he paid attention to Yun Qing's whereabouts, he unexpectedly discovered Xia Tian's trail again, which gave Ji Nan a deeper impression of Xia Tian.
But what ultimately made Ji Nan realize that Xia Tian was a threat was another matter. Someone told him that before Ma Er's death, someone had been following Ma Er, one of whom was Leng Bingbing from the police station, and the other was actually Xia Tian.
At this time, Ji Nan naturally inquired about Xia Tian's background and then discovered that Xia Tian was related to the Qiao family. This gave Ji Nan a very bad premonition - could it be that the Qiao family also wanted to deal with him?
Ji Nan would never sit and wait for death, when he felt something was wrong, he began to prepare a countermeasure. Just then, an excellent opportunity arose, Xia Tian was suspected of murder, Ji Nan naturally didn't want to let go of this good chance, so he personally called Huang Haitao.
Ji Nan and Xia Tian had not met yet, but Xia Tian had already become Ji Nan's enemy. When Xia Tian learned from Qiao Donghai that he was being framed by the police, Ji Nan naturally became Xia Tian's enemy as well. When it came to dealing with enemies, Xia Tian would never show mercy, so he decided to take care of Ji Nan first.
Of course, he is a good man who listens to his wife. Since Xiao Qiao doesn't want him to kill anyone, then he might as well borrow a knife to do it.
"You want to go against Ji Nan?" Knowing Xia Tian's thoughts, Qiao Donghai couldn't help but laugh and cry. To be honest, if it were for the sake of the Qiao family, he felt that everyone in the Qiao family should stay far away from Xia Tian. This guy had first beaten up Gao Mingyang, causing Gao Renxuan to harbor resentment towards the Qiao family. Then, he had also severely offended Lin Zihao. Although this time it made Qiao Donghai feel very pleased, for the entire Qiao family, it was extremely unfavorable. Yet Xia Tian actually still wanted to go against Ji Nan - this guy was simply making enemies everywhere for the Qiao family!
Qiao Donghai couldn't help but look at Qiao Xiaoqiao with a pleading gaze, hoping she could persuade Xia Tian to change his mind. But what made him depressed was that when Qiao Xiaoqiao opened her mouth, she said: "Husband, how do you plan to deal with Ji Nan?"
It's clear that Qiao Xiaoqiao understands Xia Tian better, she knows that once Xia Tian makes up his mind, it's hard to change it. She also knows he's not a person who will eat a loss, so if Ji Nan secretly plots against him, he'll definitely plot back.
"I originally wanted to go to his house at midnight and get rid of him, but you don't like that, so I'll change my plan. Let's use the same method to deal with him." Xia Tian said after some thought.
Qiao Donghai felt a surge of tension when he heard the first half of the sentence, and only slightly relaxed when he heard the rest, but was still a bit confused: "Xiatian, what do you mean by 'using someone's own method to control them'?"
"Oh, that guy wanted to lock me up in prison? Well, I'll just lock him up too." Xia Tian explained.
Qiao Donghai understood Xia Tian's meaning but still didn't understand his method: "How are you going to lock him up in a prison cell?"
Thinking of what Xia Tian said before, Qiao Donghai was a bit worried that Xia Tian would run to Ji Nan's house in the middle of the night, grab Ji Nan and then rush to the prison to throw him inside.
"It's simple, find the evidence of his crime and then let Police Sister catch him." Xia Tian had already made up his mind. He heard Yun Qing and Leng Bingbing's conversation in the hospital and guessed that Mo Zilun and Li Shuang's deaths were mostly related to Ji Nan. They just couldn't find any evidence, but once he found it, he could have Ji Nan caught.
Qiao Donghai finally put his mind at ease, and Qiao Xiaoqiao also felt somewhat comforted. Her husband had finally begun to use a more normal method to deal with the enemy, which was all thanks to her efforts.
Yun Qing walked out of the hospital gate, feeling as if she was in a dream. She couldn't believe that after just one night, her fractured hand had healed. She still remembered the doctor's strange gaze, and Li Ping told her it was all thanks to Xia Tian, who was an exceptionally skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Turning around to look at Li Ping and the other two police officers following behind him, Yun Qing slightly furrowed his brow: "Li Ping, I'm fine now, you all don't need to protect me anymore."
"Cloud lawyer, the captain asked us to continue protecting your safety. Without the captain's order, we dare not withdraw privately." Li Ping said with a bit of helplessness.
"Then tell Captain Leng that I have the right to refuse your protection." Yun Qing didn't want to be followed by people all the time.
"This..." Li Ping was somewhat embarrassed, "Then, Lawyer Yun, you wait a moment, I'll make a call to the captain."
Li Ping made a cold phone call and reported the situation here. On the phone, Leng Bingbing was silent for a while before speaking: "Then withdraw."
"But Captain, Yun lawyer is still in great danger now. Those people probably won't let her go so easily." Li Ping was a bit worried.
"Li Ping, we can protect her for a while, but not forever." The cold tone was somewhat indifferent. "Since she's unwilling to cooperate, there's nothing we can do. There are many cases in the team and we can't keep using police force on that one case all the time."
Li Ping knew what Leng Bingbing said was true, so he could only nod: "Alright then, Captain, let's head back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ping looked at the beautiful and mature woman in front of him, feeling a bit uneasy. He didn't know what Yun Qing was thinking, but he had a vague premonition that something terrible might happen to her.
"Huh?" Li Ping suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching, and couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. A T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with a big smile on his face - wasn't that Xia Tian?
"Summer is here!" Li Ping hastily beckoned.
Xia Tian walked over, but ignored Li Ping and instead smiled brightly at Yun Qing: "Sister Yun Qing, you're already out of the hospital? I was just about to go to your ward to find you!"
"Summer, Mr. Xia, how did you come?"
"Yun Qing sister, it's almost noon, I plan to invite you to lunch." Xia Tian somewhat brazenly scanned Yun Qing's proud curves.
Yun Qing slightly furrowed his brow: "Sorry, Mr. Xia, we still have something to attend to later, I'm afraid we can't go out for dinner with you."
"It doesn't matter, no matter what happens, you'll always have to eat, wait until you're done with your business, we can eat then." Xia Tian had a determined look on his face, insisting on treating Yun Qing to dinner.
"Cloud lawyer, Xia Tian is right, no matter what happens, meals must be eaten." Li Ping also chimed in from the side.
Yun Qing looked at Li Ping with a puzzled expression, wondering if he still had feelings for her. Why did it seem like he was intentionally trying to pair her up with Xia Tian?
After a moment's thought, Yun Qing finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's go eat first then."
Li Ping's face naturally showed delight: "Alright then, Xia Tian, Yun lawyer, you two go eat first, I still need to go to the police station, won't be joining you, see you later!"
Li Ping finished speaking and hastily left with his two subordinates, not dragging his feet at all. As a friend, he had already made his greatest effort. He believed that Yun Qing was safe as long as she stayed with Xia Tian.
"Mr. Xia, where shall we go for dinner?" Yun Qing smiled lightly, although she had some reservations about Xia Tian in her heart, but still maintained a certain courtesy.
"Hmm..." Xia Tian scratched his head, he really hadn't thought about this question before, and wasn't familiar with the restaurants in Jianghai City either. He had only eaten at a few places: the affordable restaurant near Jianghai University, the Western restaurant he went to with Liu Yunman, and the Sichuan cuisine restaurant Xiang Man Yuan which he had been to twice.
"If Mr. Xia doesn't mind, let's just eat something casual here." Yun Qing pointed to a simple noodle shop in front of them.
"Alright." Xia Tian didn't have any objections. Relatively speaking, this was much better than eating fast food with Police Sister in the car yesterday.
The passionate piano music suddenly sounded, it was Beethoven's fate, Yun Qing took out her mobile phone, saw the phone number on it, and instantly showed a hint of joy.
"Mr. Tao, is that you? I've been trying to call you and your phone is turned off." Yun Qing asked in a low and urgent tone.
"Yun lawyer, sorry to hear that you were in a car accident. I knew things would be troublesome. I have to leave Jianghai immediately, I'm at the airport now." A slightly hoarse voice came from the other end, "I'm just a private investigator, can't afford to provoke them, but since you've helped me before, there's something I think I should tell you."
"What's wrong?" Yun Qing asked hastily.
"I saw Ma Erge's daughter, Ma Ting. She just left the airport and got into a taxi with license plate number Ping AX4302. Also, judging from her attire, she probably didn't want to be seen, so she must have come secretly. This is the last piece of information I can provide you, hope it's useful." After saying this, the other end hung up the phone.
Yun Qing tried to call again, but the other side prompted to shut down once more.
"Sorry, Mr. Xia, I won't be able to have dinner with you!" Yun Qing said, then ran to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and said "Driver, take me to the airport!"
As soon as the taxi started, Yun Qing picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "I'm Yun Qing, help me with something. I want to check on a taxi, the license plate number is Ping AX4302. I need to know where this car is currently located."
She hung up the phone, took a deep breath, leaned back and stretched her body, but the next moment, she stared with wide eyes, as if she had seen a ghost. She actually saw Xia Tian in the rearview mirror!
