Bao Sheng was now in a dilemma. Seeing that he couldn't intimidate Liu Datong, he became somewhat discouraged. Finally, his momentum weakened, and he said, "Director Liu, how about this? You pass a message to Team Leader Ning. I'd like to meet with him so we can have a talk!"
Liu Datong was forcing himself to remain calm, but with so many guns pointed at him, he was still a little uneasy.
Seeing that Bao Sheng's attitude had softened somewhat, he immediately felt reassured. He said, "If Commander Bao had said this earlier, things wouldn't have come to this. If your Company Commander Yin had been more sensible and hadn't impounded the vehicle and broken ties, things wouldn't have escalated like this. Alright, I will definitely pass on this message, but I can't guarantee that Team Leader Ning will give me face. Wait a minute!"
After saying that, Liu Datong turned around and went back to his office, picked up the phone and called Ning Zhiheng.
"Team leader, Bao Sheng has led his men to my Kangyuankou checkpoint, and the situation is at a stalemate. He wants to talk to you!" Liu Datong quickly reported.
"Tell him to come to Deyun Restaurant at seven o'clock tonight. I want to see just who this Commander Bao really is," Ning Zhiheng said coldly.
"Yes!" Liu Datong replied.
Bao Sheng himself certainly didn't have the guts to actually go to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department to demand the person back; if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to come back either. After receiving a definite response from Liu Datong, he had no choice but to retreat with his men in a huff.
Ning Zhiheng put down the phone, his face darkening. This Bao Sheng had actually jumped out and dared to lead people through the checkpoint. He was clearly still resentful! It seemed he needed to teach him a lesson, or he wouldn't know his place!
At seven o'clock in the evening, Bao Sheng arrived at Deyun Grand Restaurant on time. He only brought two bodyguards with him. At this moment, Liu Datong came out to greet him and said with a smile, "Commander Bao, our team leader is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor. Please follow me."
Bao Sheng didn't say much. He followed Liu Datong to the door of the private room on the second floor. Sun Jiacheng and several action team members stopped the two guards, but let Bao Sheng into the private room.
Bao Sheng pushed open the door and entered. He saw a young man in a Zhongshan suit sitting in the main seat. He couldn't help but wonder if this extremely young-looking person was the team leader Ning behind Liu Datong.
"Commander Bao, please have a seat!" Ning Zhiheng said calmly.
"But in person, Team Leader Ning?" Bao Sheng asked uncertainly.
“It is indeed Ning. How come Commander Bao doesn’t even know who I am before daring to interfere with the profit sharing in Kangyuankou? Isn’t that a bit too confident?” Ning Zhiheng glanced at Bao Sheng with disdain. This guy is indeed a good-for-nothing, worthy of his surname Bao. He probably didn’t even find out his own situation before daring to make a move and make an enemy. This kind of person is not difficult to deal with.
Bao Sheng's lips twitched, and he forced himself to speak, "Team Leader Ning, I absolutely did not mean to make things difficult for you. I just felt that since these two checkpoints were in our hands, why should we share the money with those unrelated people? I would never dare to touch your share, but there was no need for the others, right? It was only because Director Liu refused outright that Yin Shaoyuan had some goods confiscated. It was all a misunderstanding. So, could you release Yin Shaoyuan first, and we can have a proper talk?"
In fact, Bao Sheng wasn't stupid. His previous actions were just testing the other party's bottom line, but the other party's approach was too forceful, directly arresting people, which made him somewhat unsure.
Now, after testing the waters, it's become clear that the other party has no intention of making any concessions, but his cousin has been dragged into it, which is somewhat of a miscalculation.
He knew that although the other party's military rank was two levels lower than his own, the power he wielded was far greater. A direct confrontation was not a good idea, and it seemed that he would only end up in a miserable state. Therefore, he came prepared to back down this time.
Ning Zhiheng said coldly, "There are rules to follow. I can pretend this didn't happen, and your 10% share will remain unchanged. Commander Bao, you'd better behave yourself in the future. As for your Company Commander Yin..."
At this point, Ning Zhiheng straightened up, stared intently at Bao Sheng, and said, word by word, "When have you ever heard of someone who went into the Military Intelligence Investigation Department ever coming out alive!"
"What did you say?" Bao Sheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up. At first, he thought Ning Zhiheng was going to let the matter go. Although he was reluctant, his cousin was in the other party's hands, and things would go back and forth. He had to wait until the cousin was released before making any decisions. But he didn't expect that the other party had no intention of releasing him at all. This was going to be a disaster!
Bao Sheng's face was contorted with rage as he shouted, "Team Leader Ning, I, Bao, have already given you plenty of face. I'll accept the 10% cut, but you must release my cousin! Otherwise, things will turn ugly if we all fall out!"
Ning Zhiheng was annoyed. Damn it, I only let you go to keep things quiet, you good-for-nothing, and you still want your cousin?
Can people arrested by the Military Intelligence Investigation Service be released? Of course not. If they were released, it would mean that the Military Intelligence Investigation Service arrested the wrong person. The rule of the Military Intelligence Service is that anyone arrested is considered a right person. Even if they are wrong, they can be dealt with once the measures are taken!
"Who do you think you are? You dare to ask me to release them?" Ning Zhiheng gritted his teeth and coldly spat out a few words, "You're going to break ties with me? Believe me or not, I'll arrest you and throw you in jail to keep your cousin company!"
"Come on! I am a colonel and regimental commander of a main force division of the National Army. If you arrest me, let's see how you get out of this mess!" Bao Sheng was not to be outdone. He simply returned the words that Liu Datong had used against him earlier to Ning Zhiheng, but with the roles reversed. He was clearly all bark and no bite.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?" Ning Zhiheng pointed at his nose and cursed. He pulled a document from the file bag next to him and threw it in front of Bao Sheng.
