Chapter 185 - Follow His Arrangements
Chapter 185 - Follow His Arrangements
Duan Yunhong speculated that the thief's night break-in was Secretary Cui's trick, so no one would say anything even if he was beaten to death. After all, no one wants to lose face after using despicable means and then being outmaneuvered. Unexpectedly, the area sheriff came to the door the next day.
And the first thing he asked was: "I heard that you two killed two people last night?"
Duan Yunhong laughed: "It's really interesting. Someone broke into our house in the middle of the night and robbed us. We didn't even have time to call the police, but you came to our house to question us first. What? Are there so-called 'family members' who are going to make trouble for their money? Then I can ask them for compensation for the antique vase that they broke. How about that?"
"Boss Duan really loves to joke. I just came to ask, what are you so anxious about?" The sheriff laughed and replied, "Someone was shot in our territory. As the parents, we have to come and check the situation, right? Restoring the facts and clarifying the responsibilities will be a good thing for the two of you."
Although he is an "official", the content of his speech is of low standard and he speaks in a bluffing manner, just like a street robber in uniform. Duan Yunhong also knew that the purpose of these people's visits was actually to get to know the newcomers and see if they could get some "filial piety funds". Dealing with wealthy people is the way these sheriffs make money. Otherwise, in this world, how can you expect to get rich with that little salary? Absolutely not. And most of the grassroots officials under this government structure do not really have the heart to solve the problems of the people.
What's more, Secretary Cui was probably involved in what happened last night, and if someone else came today to harass us and add to the harassment, we won't be able to handle it anymore.
Duan Yunhong was too lazy to flatter him. He and Ning Fei would be leaving in a few days, so there was no need to give face to these small-time figures who were not even local tyrants. So Duan Yunhong immediately said: "The fact is, I didn't beat anyone to death."
"...Ah?" The sheriff didn't expect him to do this suddenly, and his expression froze, "Boss Duan, this is boring, you just admitted it."
"What did I admit? I just said that someone broke into my house in the middle of the night and broke my antique vase. I didn't call the police, but you came." Duan Yunhong replied calmly, "I didn't say I killed anyone."
The sheriff subconsciously looked at Ning Fei. Ning Fei actually didn't know in advance that Duan Yunhong would come back, but he cooperated quickly: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't kill him."
"You two, we have evidence and witnesses, you are still denying it." The sheriff couldn't figure out the two's intentions, but he was definitely going to put the blame on them. "This is not a big deal, it can be a big deal or a small deal. But if you deny it like this, you may really have to be put on the scale."
Duan Yunhong knew exactly what happened to the three men. The two who had died were wrapped in mats and thrown into a mass grave in the suburbs overnight, and the living one had one hand and one foot broken off and was also thrown into a mass grave. Even if the living person jumped out now and pointed the finger face to face, Duan Yunhong would still dare to deny it, not to mention that there was only a sheriff who wanted to "extort money"?
"No murder means no murder. I don't know where your information comes from, but if someone slanders me, then I will slander others too. Whoever secretly reports me for murder, I will report him for murder." Duan Yunhong did not argue with the sheriff about the evidence at all. He would never fall into other people's rhetoric easily. "Oh, by the way, since you are here, I will report a case by the way. Someone broke into my house last night to steal things and damaged antiques. Please check it out. All villas and mansions in Pingdu are visited by thieves. You 'fathers, mothers, and officials' must take good care of it and don't let those of us who come from other places to do business feel discouraged."
"You..." The sheriff was speechless after being attacked. He couldn't help but said, "Boss Duan, if that's the case, I may not be able to handle it. I have to report it."
"Which one is on top?"
"Why do you still ask when you already know the answer, Mr. Duan?" The sheriff gave a sincere and persuasive tone, "I'll tell you the truth. If you come from other places and don't understand the local situation, this kind of thing will only happen more and more. Besides, when you are away from home, you still have to rely on friends. More friends means more options, right?"
"Friend?" Duan Yunhong looked at him with a meaningful tone, "You mean, we should make friends with you?"
"Hey, speaking of this, I can't afford to be with you big bosses." The sheriff thought he had finally "got it", and waved his hand, "But if you think highly of me, I would certainly be happy to have more contact with you two..."
Duan Yunhong interrupted him: "As a friend, shouldn't you help solve the problems of your new friend?"
Sheriff: “…Ah?”
Duan Yunhong: "Then I'll leave the theft case in our house to you."
Sheriff: “Huh? Huh???”
"Thank you for your hard work. I will thank you later." Duan Yunhong stood up and ordered without further explanation, "We have something important to attend to. Excuse me. Old Huang, please show us out."
After saying that, Duan Yunhong exchanged glances with Ning Fei, and they both left. The sheriff hesitated for a moment, but the two had already left the house, and the sheriff couldn't just stand there and watch them go after him.
The servant Lao Huang came over and waved his hand toward the door: "Please come in."
***
Duan Yunhong said that there was "something going on", but in fact there was nothing serious. The two of them went to the study after leaving the reception room.
"If you play with him like this, he will go straight to Secretary Cui to complain as soon as he leaves the house. Then Cui will come to bother you again. Are you guys doing this in a closed loop?" Ning Fei couldn't help but complain as soon as he entered the study. "And what if he can't hear your sarcastic tone when you said those few words to tease him?"
"If you can't hear it, then go and handle the case for me. What else can I do?" Duan Yunhong closed the door and sneered, "With his IQ, he deserves to be in trouble."
Ning Fei picked up the letters on the desk at random - these were all taken from the mailbox by the maids early in the morning - turned around and leaned against the desk to read them casually: "You also said 'I will thank him when the time comes', are you really going to thank him?"
Duan Yunhong said: "Thank you, why not?"
Ning Fei raised his eyes: "How are you going to thank me?"
"It's just, 'thank you'."
Ning Fei was silent for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing: "You don't mean to just say 'thank you', do you? You are amazing, Boss Duan!"
Duan Yunhong was now infected by him and did not even sit on the chair. Instead, he had to lean against the desk and leaned shoulder to shoulder with Ning Fei: "It's a compliment to him to get a thank you from me."
"Yes, yes, you are noble, and your 'thank you' is worth a thousand gold." Ning Fei was happy as he turned over another letter. When he saw the envelope, he was startled, "...Huh? There's a name for me?"
Yes, it was addressed to “Dear Mr. Ning Fei” on the envelope. Because Duan Yunhong is in charge of all social activities in Pingdu, if there is a name on the letters sent here, most of them should be addressed to Duan Yunhong, with Ning Fei's name at most. This letter is clearly a special case.
Duan Yunhong took a quick glance and found that the handwriting was quite delicate.
Ning Fei immediately put down the other letters and opened the one that only had his name on it. There was only a piece of paper inside. Ning Fei quickly scanned it and came to a conclusion in just a few seconds: "Qiao Li... wants to go with us?"
"Qiao Li?" Duan Yunhong approached Ning Fei and looked at the letter. "She wants to follow you?"
"Is there something wrong with your ears? Didn't you hear me saying 'we'?" Ning Fei simply stuffed the letter into his hands. "I'm too lazy to explain your hearing. Just read it for yourself."
Duan Yunhong took it and scanned it for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want to bring your daughter with us to Yucheng? And you can pay for the fare? What, do you think we are hitchhiking?"
"If she really wants to move to another place to develop her career as she said in the letter, then she can go there by train." Ning Fei said, "Does a few grown men on our train mean no harm to humans or animals? She should know best what kind of creatures men are, not to mention that we don't know each other at all."
"It seems that this letter does not tell the truth." Duan Yunhong replied, "She must have other difficulties, but she can't say it clearly, at least not directly in the letter. And she thinks that this kind of difficulty can be avoided by using our power."
"In other words, this is a letter for help in escaping." Ning Fei folded his arms and tilted his head, looking at Duan Yunhong, "How about it, Boss Duan, are you interested?"
Duan Yunhong looked at him with an intriguing look in his eyes: "She came to you, and you asked me?"
Ning Fei said: "Isn't this your territory? And it's also your car, I'm just a pendant."
"I thought you meant something else..." Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes and smiled, folded the letter back and stuffed it back into the envelope, "I'm not interested. If I respond to every request for help, it will never end. Besides, her life is not the worst in the city. Even if I really have nothing better to do and want to help a few people, I won't choose her."
Ning Fei shrugged: "Okay, then ignore her."
Duan Yunhong looked at him and couldn't help but asked, "Why are you so..."
"What?"
Duan Yunhong couldn't say it, or maybe he suddenly realized that he couldn't say it, otherwise Ning Fei would probably explode. Although Ning Fei's angry look is quite interesting, it would be a pity to lose this relaxed and intimate atmosphere. So Duan Yunhong just put one hand on the table behind Ning Fei, moved closer, and kissed Ning Fei silently.
Ning Fei seemed to sense some kind of brain waves from the man and squinted her eyes slightly: "How did I provoke you?"
Duan Yunhong answered in his heart: He is just following my instructions, so obedient.
Like a dangerous and beautiful beast, it usually behaves completely independently and willfully. Suddenly one day, everything is arranged by someone else, and the person who arranges the things is someone this person has been jealous of. It is really hard for this person not to be flattered.
In order to avoid being called "crazy", Duan Yunhong kept his feelings to himself and deliberately looked Ning Fei up and down, as if to answer "I provoked everyone".
Ning Fei still cursed: "Nervous."
But despite the scolding, he didn't hide when Duan Yunhong approached him. Duan Yunhong secretly sighed that he had been tamed by this man, but at the same time he felt that he had made the right choice. Ning Fei was waiting for him to kiss her. Actions speak louder than words.
Before touching his lips, Duan Yunhong whispered, "Give it to me the day after tomorrow?"
The day after tomorrow is November 11th.
"You're crazy." Ning Fei cursed again, feeling that he had also been infected by this guy and had become crazy. At this moment, he actually wanted to laugh, "When I come here, is it always empty?"
In order to prevent himself from making a strange expression, he grabbed the man by the collar and kissed him.

Our Ning Fei only needs to be obedient once in a while, Boss Duan: He has me in his heart!
