Chapter 227: Case Closed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ning Cheng’s death was decided just like that.

“Is this how the Public Security Bureau handles cases?” Ning Chen said coldly, glancing at Director Li from the corner of his eye.

Director Li smiled awkwardly, “Young Master Ning, don’t look at me like that. I wasn’t here yet, and I wasn’t in charge of this case either. Maybe that was how they worked then. But don’t worry, this situation definitely won’t exist now!”

Ning Chen didn’t actually blame Director Li. He said with a smile, “I understand you are not one to carry out your job unprofessionally. By the way, I want to know who was behind the case.”

When Director Li Heard Ning Chen’s question, he was visibly troubled, “Young Master Ning, are you sure you want to investigate? The people involved in this case back then may be in high positions now. The truth may be difficult to find out.”

“I have to go on,” Ning Chen said firmly.

It was not easy for him to find new clues. He would not give up! Perhaps Ning Cheng’s death had something to do with his parents. Even if it had nothing to do with them, he still wanted to know what happened to the Ning family on that fateful year.

“Okay, I think it might have something to do with these people.” Director Li did not dare to say the names of these people directly. He picked up a pen and wrote a few names down on the paper.

Song Hai, the police chief at that time, was now the director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Xu Man, the police captain who was in charge of the Ning Cheng’s case at that time, was now the director of a police academy.

They were all people in prominent positions.

Ning Chen immediately checked the information of these two people. After checking, he asked curiously, “Did they have any special achievements at that time? Why did they get promoted so quickly?”

It had been less than twenty years since Ning Chen died. They were not even thirty years old at that time, and did not come from a background of prestige and status. Yet, they were quickly promoted to high positions, more so at such a young age.

“There was no major commendation, right? I’m not too sure. Maybe they were just lucky.” Director Li did not dare to say what he actually thought. He guessed, with a smile.

Ning Chen shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not quite believe it.

“Anyway, thank you for your help today, Director Li.” Ning Chen stood up and prepared to take his leave.

“No problem. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know!” Director Li sent them off warmly.

When they walked out of the Public Security Bureau, the sun was shining brightly outside. However, there was not a hint of joy on Ning Chen’s face.

Uncle Wen also had a worried look on his face. “Young master, I think things were not as simple as it seemed back then.”

Two people who were related to Ning Cheng’s case was quickly promoted in the past ten years. What did this mean?

It meant that someone had secretly asked these two people to suppress Ning Cheng’s case and then promised them benefits if they complied.

How terrifying was the power of the person behind this!

Ning Chen’s expression was extremely gloomy.

The culprit wasn’t afraid of killing a police officer! After killing him, he even covered up all traces of the crime. Ridiculous!

The determination in Ning Chen’s eyes didn’t falter even a bit even if he realized how powerful the other party was.

He would definitely find out who was behind this!

When he returned home, Ning Chen saw that Tang Rou was waiting for him.

He hadn’t seen Tang Rou for a few days. He heard that Tang Rou had been at home the whole time and he didn’t know what she was doing.

Tang Rou went to Ning Chen’s house. When she didn’t see Linda, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

According to the servants in Ning Chen’s house, Ning Chen wasn’t very enthusiastic about Linda. There were a few times when Linda wanted to stay over at Ning Chen’s, but Ning Chen rejected her very decisively, this made Tang Rou extremely happy — Ning Chen didn’t like that woman at all!

“Ning Chen, where have you been?” Tang Rou leaned against Ning Chen’s, her tone soft.

“I went out for a walk. Why are you here?” Ning Chen calmly avoided Tang Rou and sat down.

“I came to see you. Hmph, don’t you miss me? I missed you. Seeing that you didn’t come to look for me, I took the initiative.” Tang Rou remained steadfast by Ning Chen’s side and spoke sweetly, to the disgust of the servants’ nearby.

Ning Chen suddenly stood up, “I still have some things to do. I’ll be leaving first.”

He couldn’t stand this woman.

If he knew that Tang Rou was at his house, he wouldn’t have come back today.

Ning Chen went to Cloud Club, but he didn’t expect Tang Rou to follow him.

Helpless, Ning Chen could only arrange a place for Tang Rou. He used the excuse that he had something to do at the company and left with Uncle Wen.

This was Tang Rou’s first time at Cloud Club. She looked around and suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.

She quickly called Mole.

“Hello, stinky. I’m here at Cloud Club. See if there’s something wrong with this place.” Tang Rou pointed her phone at the room in front of her and showed it to mole.

“All of the rooms here uses a type of lock accessible by a pass card.. There’s only one room that uses this type of lock.” Tang Rou looked at the translucent LCD screen in front of the door handle and felt a bit curious, “Could there be something different in this place?”
