Chapter 187: Don't Break the Feather Duster

Sun Mu understood and nodded.

In fact, with his experience, there was no need to discipline Qian Xiaopeng in public; there would naturally be ways to deal with him after taking him back.

The reason he did so was actually to show Ning Weidong.

What the power of a role model is.

As one of Zhang Dajun's more trusted subordinates, Sun Mu knew Zhang Dajun's situation better than others.

Originally, there was a vacancy for a Deputy Director at the Police Station, and logically speaking, Zhang Dajun was a strong contender, but everyone knew in their hearts that he couldn't sit in that position.

As for why, it was also tacitly understood.

Including Sun Mu, no one expected Zhang Dajun to be able to advance further.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Dajun indeed did not become the Deputy Director, but instead suddenly got transferred directly to the district.

This made everyone's jaws drop.

Sun Mu didn't know what was going on beforehand, but after congratulating Zhang Dajun and drinking together, Zhang Dajun said it was thanks to Ning Weidong's help.

Sun Mu suddenly realized and couldn't help but secretly sigh that Zhang Dajun had hit the jackpot; why hadn't such a noble person fallen into his own lap?

Unexpectedly, this opportunity was placed right in front of him today.

Why was Zhang Dajun able to get in touch with Ning Weidong before? Wasn't it because a local official is better than a distant one, and he could directly handle things for Ning Weidong? If Zhang Dajun could do it, why couldn't I, Sun Mu?

Sun Mu was fully motivated at this moment, wanting to show himself off in front of Ning Weidong, only he was a little too eager.

Ning Weidong gave a reminder, and he immediately reacted, waving his hand and saying: "Take the person back first." Then he looked at Lu Daye: "Old Lu, you come too. You are the elder of the courtyard; you tell us what happened, and the other involved parties as well..."

Blah blah blah, Sun Mu quickly handled the arrangements, which could be considered orderly.

Soon, as the relevant personnel, Ning Weidong and the others, including Lu Daye, arrived at the Police Station.

Qian Xiaopeng was the unlucky one; his leg was broken and not treated, so he had to support himself, and was pulled over by Zhou Kun on a flatbed cart.

It wasn't until they reached the Police Station that a health worker was called.

Seeing that the health worker was only in her early twenties and still a little girl, Qian Xiaopeng was completely terrified and begged: "Comrade, I beg you to send me to the hospital first~"

If he really let this little girl mess with it, in case... there didn't even need to be an "in case," there would definitely be a mistake, and he would be crippled.

Sun Mu glanced at him and said indifferently: "What are you shouting about! We are all acting according to procedure. You are injured, so we called medical personnel for you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Qian Xiaopeng's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that this was worse than not calling anyone, and he quickly said: "Comrade, I am satisfied~ but... Brother, I beg you, I know I was wrong. I only came here to help someone this time; I am really not the mastermind."

Sun Mu sneered: "If you want to go to the hospital, hurry up and confess your business clearly."

Qian Xiaopeng dared not delay and immediately spilled everything out.

In less than twenty minutes, he was watched and sent to the hospital.

At the same time, Sun Mu met Ning Weidong in the next room.

Ning Weidong had heard everything Qian Xiaopeng said just now, and his face was as dark as water.

It turned out that this time, Bai came with Qian Xiaopeng to propose a marriage for Bai Fengqin, intending to marry Bai Fengqin to Qian Xiaopeng, and the Qian family had given three hundred yuan as a bride price.

Bai's wife was blinded by greed and agreed, while Bai still had some regard for the sibling relationship, but he couldn't overcome his wife and didn't have the final say at home.

It's just that none of them expected that Bai Fengqin had actually been admitted to university, so naturally, she refused to marry just anyone.

Originally, this kind of thing was a matter of mutual consent; if Bai Fengqin didn't agree, that would be the end of it.

But this guy Qian Xiaopeng was daring; he couldn't move his feet once he saw Bai Fengqin's appearance, and coupled with his reliance on his martial arts and family background, he got into a mood that was even more arrogant than a mangy dog.

After being scolded by Bai Fengqin a few times, he immediately lost it and insisted on snatching her away to make it a done deal.

Actually, there was a reason for Qian Xiaopeng to think this way.

He was distantly related to Bai Fengqin's sister-in-law's family, so he knew the Bai Family inside and out.

If he really made it a done deal, he would just let her brother and sister-in-law persuade her well, give more compensation, say some nice words, and make a scene, and it would be over.

Who knew he would run into a ruthless person like Ning Weidong.

Sun Mu asked: "Section Chief Ning, what do you think about this matter..."

Qian Xiaopeng had taken the opportunity to report his family connections just now, and Sun Mu was a bit wary, but he dared not show it; showing weakness at a critical moment was a taboo for people like him.

If one wants to climb up, one must take risks; no one can avoid this.

Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "He is a hooligan, detain him first, is that a problem?"

Sun Mu quickly said: "No problem, in his situation, he must definitely be arrested for a thorough investigation."

Ning Weidong nodded and said: "Everything according to procedure, don't leave people with any handle."

Sun Mu nodded immediately.

Ning Weidong looked at him and added: "Your name is Sun Mu~"

Sun Mu's eyes lit up: "You still remember me."

Ning Weidong said: "Zhang told me that after he went to the district, you are capable here at the Police Station."

Sun Mu's heart beat slightly faster; he didn't expect Zhang Dajun to have given him such a big gift before leaving, and he hadn't mentioned it before.

In fact, Ning Weidong just said it casually; Zhang Dajun hadn't mentioned Sun Mu in front of him at all.

Zhang Dajun was only going to the district, not to another place; he could be called upon whenever there was something, so there was no need to push Sun Mu out. It was just that since this matter fell into Sun Mu's hands, Ning Weidong had to win this person over and make him feel like one of his own.

As for if Sun Mu and Zhang Dajun met later and let it slip, Ning Weidong wasn't worried at all; Zhang Dajun was a smart man and wouldn't fail to react, naturally helping him cover it up.

What's more, this matter was originally meant to add luster to Zhang Dajun's face.

Ning Weidong stood up and said: "Let's leave it at this for now; if there is anything said on that side, have them come directly to me."

Sun Mu said: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

At the same time Ning Weidong came out, Bai Fengyu, Bai Fengqin, and Lu Daye also finished their statements and came out.

Bai Fengqin was still teary-eyed; having calmed down just now, she felt a lingering fear.

Seeing Ning Weidong, she subconsciously rushed forward two steps, wanting to throw herself into Ning Weidong's arms and have a good cry, but she suddenly reacted, forced herself to stop, stood where she was, and wiped her tears.

Ning Weidong looked at her and sighed; anyone would be stifled to death if they encountered such a thing.

Her own biological brother had actually sold her out for a few hundred yuan in betrothal gifts.

Fortunately, Bai Fengyu helped stall for time, and Ning Weidong stepped in to intervene; otherwise... her life would have been ruined.

Bai Fengyu went up and wrapped her arms around Bai Fengqin's trembling shoulders, continuing to comfort her, while her eyes looked at Ning Weidong, filled with tenderness.

This man truly did not disappoint her; he was someone she could rely on when trouble arose.

At this moment, she felt incredibly fortunate that she had shamelessly climbed into Ning Weidong's bed back then; otherwise, she truly wouldn't have known what to do today.

Ning Weidong said, "Sister Bai, it's fine. You and Lu Daye take Fengqin home first."

Bai Fengyu felt a jolt in her heart: "Then what about you?"

Ning Weidong said, "This matter isn't over yet. The other party has some background, so I'm going to pay my brother a visit."

Bai Fengyu grew worried: "This... will it be alright?"

Bai Fengqin also became nervous.

Ning Weidong smiled and said, "It's fine, I have a way."

Bai Fengyu nodded; Bai Fengqin wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't know how to put it.

Ning Weidong said to Lu Daye again, "Lu Daye, please take them both back, and have my sister-in-law keep them company later."

Lu Daye said, "You can rest easy on that; they are all children from our courtyard."

Afterward, Ning Weidong didn't go back to get his bicycle; he simply rode Sun Mu's bicycle from the Police Station and left.

Watching him ride away, Lu Daye withdrew his gaze and looked at the two Bai sisters.

At this moment, Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin were still looking into the distance, their eyes filled with undisguised affection.

Lu Daye saw it all, couldn't help but sigh, and gave a light cough to remind the two of them.

Bai Fengyu came back to her senses and hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Bai Fengqin, however, didn't move, not stopping until Ning Weidong turned out of the alley in the distance; her lips were pressed tightly together, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

On the other side, Ning Weidong rode the bicycle to Ning Weiguo's home.

Although he said he wasn't afraid of Qian Xiaopeng's background, not being afraid didn't mean he was dismissive or unprepared.

If one developed the habit of being arrogant, even if things were fine this time, one would suffer later; Ning Weidong had understood this principle before he transmigrated, so when encountering such situations, even if he felt it was fine, he was always extra careful.

Arriving at Ning Weiguo's home, the lights were on upstairs; Ning Weidong parked the bicycle downstairs and ran up the stairs, knocking on the door.

"Weidong?" Wang Yuzhen opened the door, looking somewhat surprised.

Immediately following, a cry of "Third Uncle" came from behind her—Ning Lei was seen crying with a snotty nose and teary eyes, stretching his neck to look over here, his face clearly written with 'help'.

Ning Weidong glanced at the feather duster in Wang Yuzhen's hand, knowing he had arrived at a bad time, and said with a dry laugh, "Sister-in-law, don't break the feather duster."

Ning Lei felt even more aggrieved upon hearing this; so he wasn't even as valuable as that feather duster~ Wang Yuzhen turned back to glare at him and said, "Consider yourself lucky today! Go back to your room and do your homework."

Ning Lei shrank his neck and gave Ning Weidong a grateful look.

Although Ning Weidong's words just now were annoying, the fact was that because Ning Weidong had come, more than half of his beating had been avoided.

Entering the room, Ning Weiguo was sitting on a chair soaking his feet.

Ning Weidong asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of reason are you soaking your feet in this hot weather?"

Before Ning Weiguo could speak, Wang Yuzhen said first, "He has a heat-induced cold, so I thought I'd use dried ginger to soak his feet and help him sweat it out."

Ning Weiguo then asked what had happened for Ning Weidong to run over in the middle of the night.

Ning Weidong immediately recounted the situation from just now, and at the end asked, "Brother, what's the deal with that Deputy Bureau Chief Qian in your unit?"

Ning Weiguo frowned, clicked his tongue, and said, "Old Qian's nephew~"

Seeing this, Ning Weidong's heart tightened, and he asked, "Is this person hard to deal with?"

Wang Yuzhen said, "Old Qian's roots are not weak."

Ning Weidong felt fortunate in his heart; it was a good thing he had come here to ask first, otherwise, he might have been caught off guard.

Ning Weiguo said, "But there's no need to worry; they don't have the moral high ground in this matter. Old Qian is someone who cherishes his reputation very much; he usually sets a very high tone in how he acts and speaks. If he finds out the situation, even if he's unhappy, he'll have to hold it in."
