Chapter 184 I Want to Leave
"Do you know him?" Shi Ying saw that he had been staring at the video in a daze and had no reaction for a long time. She couldn't help but frown, "No?"
Ning Yan also frowned, pointing at the blurry picture inside, and said inexplicably: "There is no face, and he is dressed in black. Even if it was me, I wouldn't be able to recognize him, right?"
Shi Ying immediately asked the person next to her to zoom in a little more, but the other person said that it was already the largest and that the surveillance video was too far away.
The ones that are close together are still being repaired, which will take some time. The clearest footage at the moment is this surveillance video that is less than five seconds long.
Ning Yan suddenly turned to look at Shi Ying and asked curiously, "You just said on the phone that he seemed to know me. Why did you say that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him.
Having been a police officer for almost half a month, Ning Yan could easily understand their eyes, which were the scrutiny of the criminal suspect.
Ning Yan, whose past identity was indeed not clean, could not help but feel the chills on his back, but he was mentally strong and pretended to be serious, with an innocent face: "Why are you all looking at me?"
Shi Ying took out a stack of photos. The photos showed the wreckage of weapons after explosion and burning. On the charred clumps were scattered countless card kings.
On each card, there is a sentence written in red pen——
Ning Yan, long time no see.
Ning Yan: “…”
Shi Ying looked at him with wide eyes, as if he was stunned by fear, and said with a complicated expression: "This should be what K left after the explosion. How did he know your name?"
"Guessing?" Ning Yan looked up, a look of bewilderment on his face. "Maybe when they blow up somewhere else tomorrow, they'll write 'Shi Ying, long time no see'?"
"..." Shi Ying looked at him expressionlessly.
Ning Yan immediately calmed down and said seriously, "I really don't know this lunatic named K. I used to study at university and got a doctorate degree. I just graduated this year."
Shi Ying glanced at him without saying anything. They both understood each other tacitly, which meant that she wanted him to go back and explain himself.
Others may not know, but Shi Ying must know what he did before. Studying all the time is complete bullshit.
After coming out of the counter-terrorism department, Ning Yan was followed by several armed police officers, who were asked by the NCA executive director to follow him 24 hours a day.
Yu Li waited and waited at home, becoming almost impatient. When he was planning to drive directly to Ning Yan's workplace to pick him up, Ning Yan came back riding his bicycle.
Following behind were two police officers on motorcycles. They were tall and strong and looked very fierce.
Ning Yan parked the car, came over and put his arm around Yu Li's shoulders, and said with a smile, "I just had some unfinished business. Let's go, Third Master, let's go eat."
Yu Li didn't move. He looked warily at the two men holding rifles and following Ning Yan. He pointed and frowned, "Why are they following you?"
"Oh, you may not know this yet. The armory was blown up. Sister Ying was afraid that I would be in danger, so she asked them to protect me closely."
“…”
Yu Li really wanted him to draft his lies carefully before telling them. Not to mention why they were afraid that he would be in danger and wanted to protect him after the armory exploded, it didn't make sense to let these two ferocious-looking men protect him.
It doesn't seem like they are here to protect him, but more like they are here to take his life.
Moreover, Ning Yan has been traveling around M Continent, Northern Continent, South Africa and other places for many years, entering and leaving various countries as if he were in an empty territory. How could Shi Ying waste police force to protect him?
It would be good enough if he wasn't asked to protect others.
The dinner originally planned for two people suddenly had two extra people in the way. Ning Yan was afraid that it would affect Yu Li's appetite, so he picked a restaurant by the river that he thought had the best food, and asked the two if they wanted to sit down and eat together.
They received a shake of the head in response, and the tense faces of the two showed no sign of relaxing.
Ning Yan felt bored for a moment. After the dishes were served, he frantically picked up some food for Yu Li while complaining to him about work: "When I was in college, I thought school was boring. I just learned some theoretical knowledge every day. Now that I'm working, I realize how comfortable college is."
Yu Li looked at the fake identity and information that Shi Ying had created for him, and knew that he had deliberately told them to the two police officers. He agreed, "Yes, I was happier when I was in school."
"When this busy period is over, I'll take a vacation and go back to the capital with you. I'll save my salary and then call Lin Fang and Shi Ming over, and the four of us can have another meal together."
"Okay." Yu Li suddenly remembered something, "Did you get your salary today?"
"Yes, I passed by the store on my way home from get off work and saw a scarf that would suit you perfectly. I just forgot to show it to you. It's in my bag. I'll get it for you when I get back."
Without waiting for Yu Li to speak, he continued happily, "I also bought a water cup and a fountain pen. The water cup has a tabby cat on it, which looks almost exactly like Shi Xiaoming. I think Shi Ming will like it. The owner said that the fountain pen is a brand with hundreds of years of history. It's out of print, so he sold it to me at a low price."
Hearing the words "out of print" and "low price", Yu Li's heart was filled with alarm.
Perhaps it was because Ning Yan's image during this period was too gentle and soft, and his first reaction was that the unscrupulous businessman had killed poor Ning Yan.
He was just about to ask him where he bought it, and when he had time tomorrow, he would go over and ask the boss to return the money.
Ning Yan sighed, leaned over, and whispered, "You don't know, I racked my brains to come up with such a touching story. I hugged the boss's legs and cried my heart out, crying and saying that my brother liked this brand of pen, and he finally relented."
Yu Li was stunned: "What did you make up?"
"My wife ran off with someone, and the token of love was a pen, this brand. I lied to my boss and said it was exactly the same. Later, my brother's wife threw it into the sea, and he wanted to jump into the water to get it. The boss gave it to me, and he cried even harder than I did."
“…”
Yu Li turned to look at the two police officers, shocked that they didn't react.
Are you two depressed?
After dinner, the two drunkards walked home arm in arm in the moonlight, humming tunes.
Two policemen with big guns followed behind them, staring at them. Every time they were about to fall into the ditch, they would go up to help them. Before their hands could touch them, the two drunks would stand up again.
The next day, Ning Yan was late.
He ran to the office in a hurry, holding a piece of bread in his mouth and carrying his backpack.
I opened the door and saw no one inside. I checked my phone.
Fuck, Saturday.
The two goalkeepers following behind him didn’t even bother to remind him!
Just as he was about to go home and continue sleeping, his phone rang. It was a colleague from the office, who asked with a smile, "Xiaoyan, are you up yet? Commander Shi from the Royal Mercenary Corps is treating us to dinner today to celebrate his brother's birthday. Come along! We called you several times, but you didn't answer."
Shiying is treating us to a meal?
Or celebrate his brother's birthday?
Isn’t Shi Ming’s birthday over???
Ning Yan replied that he would be there soon, and sent a message to Yu Li, asking how many birthdays Shi Ming had. He was happy when he got the answer that "he has a birthday every time his sister forms a clique."
Then he went out, got on his 1982 bicycle, and rode away.
Someone on the road saw it and looked shocked.
Which museum did you get this from?
After arriving at the hotel, Ning Yan parked the car.
You don't have to worry about this broken bicycle being stolen, and no one here would steal things.
Just go in directly.
After entering the hotel, I saw a room full of unfamiliar faces, people from many departments were there.
Shi Ying's position in the Northern Continent is indeed high. She celebrated her brother's birthday even though his brother was not there. Yet, so many people came. It seems that Yu Li was right. Shi Ying did form cliques once, and Shi Ming celebrated his birthday once.
I should have gone home and slept earlier.
As he turned to leave, his colleagues saw him and gathered around him.
Several people pulled him aside and whispered to him what happened before he came, asking him if he remembered the guy who came in with him and graduated from the same school as him.
Ning Yan heard people from different departments talking about this person every day. Some praised him for his ability, some envied his strong background, and some speculated whether he would take over his father's position in the future.
Ning Yan came back to his senses and nodded: "I remember, what happened to him?"
A colleague angrily said, "He actually said your academic qualifications were fake! You got in through connections! Damn, how can he have the nerve to say that?"
Ning Yan: “…”
Another colleague looked around and said to him, "That person is probably jealous of your popularity. He's been belittling you to his subordinates lately, saying you're useless, that you have no education or skills, but you're good-looking, and that you only got into our department because of Shi's orders."
Well, actually this is not wrong.
Ning Yan touched his chin in thought.
The youngest colleague in the department was a white girl. She tugged at his clothes, leaned over and said, "Don't bother with him. I think you're a great person. Xiaoyan, do your best. I believe in you."
Once many people have interests involved, this kind of situation is bound to occur.
Ning Yan didn't take it to heart. He patted her head and smiled: "Yes, I will."
"Xiaoyan!"
Hearing the voice, Ning Yan turned around and saw his boss waving at him on the stairs.
He quickly ran over, backpack slung across his chest, looked up at his boss with a bright smile, "What's wrong, sir?"
His boss gets a headache when he sees his innocent look. He has outstanding abilities, but sometimes he seems too simple and innocent.
He's so easy to bully. No wonder he didn't even notice the rumors were spread for so long.
The boss sighed inwardly and said, "Do you remember yesterday's explosion at the arsenal? The commander asked me to call you up. He has something to ask you."
Ning Yan was stunned: "Executive Director?"
"Yes, go ahead. He's right there. Don't be afraid. He'll just ask a few questions. Just answer them well."
"Yeah, okay."
Ning Yan nodded, put on his backpack and ran upstairs. When he reached the second floor, the two police officers who followed him 24 hours a day were stopped for carrying guns.
He was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, a police officer who looked to be of high rank came over and led him to a private room.
The police officer raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Chairman, he's here."
A voice came from inside, a familiar gentle voice with a gentle smile: "Well, let him in."
“…”
Ning Yan subconsciously took half a step back.
I feel like leaving.
