Chapter 254 The Greedy Zhu Jian

“Fu*k, you even dared to act so arrogantly when you are here. It seemed that you would never tell us the truth if I don’t give you a little punishment.”

Zhu Jian hated to see Ding Ning’s indifferent expression. He was so enraged that he nearly went up in smoke and broke out into curses.

Ding Ning sneered and kindly reminded, “This place is monitored. If you are about to torture me and let me confess to false charges under torture, I will sue you.”

Zhu Jian’s mouth corners curved and showed a grim smile. Then he leaned closer to Ding Ning and whispered in his ear. “You can rest assured. I have shut all the monitors down. No one else can know what will happen here.”

“You, you actually turned off the monitors and want to torture me in private. You know the law, but you are going to break it. You are committing a crime.”

A look of panic appeared on Ding Ning’s face, and he shouted in fear.

“So what? I’m in charge of this place. I have found the weapon you used to kill Yang Kaishan in your car. Now that the evidence is certain, and you can never get away with the manslaughter charges. So if you don’t want to suffer, you should be honest and tell me the truth.”

Zhu Jian laughed wildly. He had already brought the policeman who was responsible for making the record over. They were of the same batch. Upon hearing Zhu Jian’s words, he also burst into crazy laughter.

Ding Ning shivered all over and roared at the top of his voice. “How could you get the murder weapon in my car? You must want to frame me up. I want to see your director. I am going to sue you.”

“Hehe, what can you do if you see the director? The director is my brother-in-law. He incited me to punish you for murder severely.”

Zhu Jian said with a joking expression. Looking at Ding Ning’s panic-stricken face, he felt extremely happy in his heart. “Fu*k, didn’t you treat me so arrogantly in the morning? Wait and see what I can do to you.”

Zhu Jian stepped forward and kicked violently on the chest of Ding Ning. Together with his seat, Ding Ning fell to the ground. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t climb up. Zhu Jian came to punch and kick Ding Ning. He gasped and stopped until he sent the blood spurting from Ding Ning’s mouth.

Ding Ning was covered with blood and coughed violently. He glared at Zhu Jian with his fiery eyes and thundered. “Did you and your brother-in-law join up to frame me?”

Wearing a ferocious smile, Zhu Jian walked forward. He said scornfully, “I framed you. What can you do to me? You want to play tricks on me. Then, I’ll fu*king play you to death. I have made up the confession for you. As long as you honestly sign and make your mark together on it, you can undergo fewer sufferings of flesh.”

“What did I do that offended you so that you want to bring this trouble on me? I didn’t kill anyone.”

Full of grievances, Ding Ning defended for himself.

“You didn’t offend me, nor offend my brother-in-law. However, you have offended someone that you cannot afford to offend. Aren’t you arrogant? D*mned, you even dared to shoot the whole process when I enforced the law and uploaded it. Because of you, I was nearly suspended from my duties, and my brother-in-law almost lost his promotion opportunity. I will never feel comfortable if you are not in prison.”

Zhu Jian bellowed ferociously. “Are you going to sign it or not? If you refuse to sign it, I swear I will fu*king beat you to death.”

“I can sign it and admit my guilt. But you should tell me who on earth it is that wants to harm me,” Ding Ning asked sadly and unwillingly.

“Are you going to sign it?”

Zhu Jian suddenly looked happy. At first, when he saw Ding Ning’s indifferent appearance, he thought it must be hard to deal with him. However, he didn’t expect that Ding Ning cooperated so well with him after he got a beating.

“He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick. You already hid the murderous weapon in my car and framed me. In this case, I cannot get away from the charge of murder. Can I have a chance to live if I refuse to sign?”

Ding Ning wiped off the blood on the corners of his mouth. His eyes were unfocused, and he said bitterly.

“Hahaha, you are wise to suit your actions to the times. Since you are so sensible, I can tell you the truth before you die.”

Zhu Jian was quite superstitious. He put his palms together devoutly and bowed to the ceiling. “Every injustice has its perpetrator. I have no enmity with you. I’m just doing what I am being paid to do. After you are executed and turned a ferocious ghost, don’t come to take revenge on me. The person who wants to take your life is from the underworld. Everyone calls him Brother Jun, but I don’t know his real name.”

All of a sudden, Ding Ning asked, “How much money did he give you to frame me?”

“2.3 million yuan in all…” Zhu Jian instantly uttered the number, but he stopped right away. Suspiciously, he looked at Ding Ning. “Why did you ask this?”

Ding Ning showed a disappointing look. “I just want to see how much my life is. But I didn’t expect that I will be put in prison only because of the 2.3 million yuan, quite a small sum of money.”

“Oh? A small sum of money? You really talked big.”

It seemed that Zhu Jian was a little anxious and doubtful. He always felt a little uneasy.

“Didn’t Brother Jun tell you that I am rich?”

Ding Ning looked at Zhu Jian as if he were looking at an idiot.

That look made Zhu Jian feel very uncomfortable, and he asked with a long face. “You are a poor student. How can you get so much money?”

“It seems that you are really stupid. You want to frame me, but you haven’t even investigated who I am. It’s true that I am a student. But I am still an excellent doctor. I can cure complicated illnesses for others and get 800,000 to 1,000,000 yuan with ease as payment.”

Ding Ning struggled to climb up from the ground and tried to sit down.

When he heard this, Zhu Jian’s eyes instantly brightened up. Suddenly, he remembered that his brother-in-law had said that Ding Ning was an internet celebrity, so he certainly could be a rich person. Therefore, Zhu Jian hurriedly helped him to get up and asked in a whisper, “Do you really have so much money?”

“Of course, though I don’t have too much, I have several million yuan at least. Unfortunately, as long as I die, the money will be donated automatically to the people in the poor mountainous area.”

Ding Ning wiped off the blood on his mouth corners and sighed in frustration. “I do have a lot of money, but so what? I still cannot afford to offend the people in the underworld. It costs them only 2 million yuan to take my life away.”

Zhu Jian rolled his eyes. It seemed that he was very entangled. After a long while, he made a decision while biting his teeth. “Bro, if you give me all the money you have, then I can find a way to exonerate you from the charge.”

“How can you help me to get away with the charge? Now the evidence is certain and irrefutable. Besides, you are just a captain of the criminal police team, an acting captain, to be exact. So how can you help me out? Even if you can find a way, can your brother-in-law agree with you?”

Ding Ning, feeling hopeless, shook his head in disbelief.

“You are so stupid. I forged the evidence at first. Hence, if I steal the evidence from the evidence room, you can get released for the lack of evidence. As for my brother-in-law, I will give him half of the money then. I’m sure that he won’t have different opinions.”

Zhu Jian massaged his hands, and his face screwed into an obsequious smile. In his heart, he secretly felt pleased. He had never dreamt that he could get so much money from Ding Ning.

“If I get the 10 million yuan, I will have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life. I can quit my job as a policeman and live a wealthy life in a second-tier or third-tier city with the money.”

“But…”

Ding Ning hesitated. Being considerate, he asked. “You have promised that Brother Jun. What if he gives you trouble after you let me go?”

“Sh*t. He is only a gangster in Axe Gang. I’m a policeman. He will not fu*king dare to do something to me even when he is given countless courage.”

Zhu Jian said disdainfully.

“Even if he doesn’t dare to take revenge on you, what if he bears a grudge and turns you in?”

Ding Ning felt amused in his heart. “Zhu Jian is really greedy and stupid. With the greatest of ease, I successfully made him tell his secrets to me.”

“Humph. He didn’t transfer the money to my bank account. Instead, it was transferred to the account of my mistress. Even if he turned me in, I could shirk my responsibility and tell others that he incriminated me with planted evidence.”

Zhu Jian had been lost his mind because of the several million yuan. The policeman, who went along with him in his evil deeds, winked and cast a glance as a hint to him. But Zhu Jian completely ignored him and said proudly.

“In this case, then I am relieved. You wanted to offer me help, so I cannot harm you. Then do I still need to sign this confession?”

Ding Ning said with gratitude.

Zhu Jian hesitated a little. Although he was greedy for money, he feared that Ding Ning would go back on what he had promised. Then, he immediately said, “Well, you transfer the money to me now, and then you will no longer need to sign on the confession.”

“Okay. Give me my phone and the account. I will transfer the money to you now.”

Ding Ning said without the slightest hesitation.

“What a straightforward man! Bro, if anyone troubles you later, feel free to come to me. I can protect you.”

Zhu Jian was overjoyed, and he scuttled away to take Ding Ning’s phone.

The policeman who recorded the confession looked at Ding Ning suspiciously. He felt that something was wrong but didn’t know what was wrong exactly. So he could only secretly prayed that nothing would go wrong.

Zhu Jian acted very fast. In two minutes, he came in with Ding Ning’s phone. After that, he stared at Ding Ning eagerly.

Ding Ning raised his hands. “Brother Jian, we are friends now. Can you remove the handcuffs?”

“OK, no problem!”

With pleasure, Zhu Jian took out the key for the handcuffs and was going to unlock the handcuffs for Ding Ning.

“Captain, he is the man who has murdered Ma Qiang and Yang Kaishan in a row. What if he escapes after you unlock the handcuffs?”

The policeman who recorded the confession hurriedly stopped Zhu Jian and asked with concern.

“Liu Qiang, are you fu*king stupid? Look at him. He is so thin and weak. How could he kill Yang Kaishan and Ma Qiang? He might be able to kill Ma Qiang. But Yang Kaishan was a Hall Chief in Axe Gang, who must know how to fight. Besides, you also know that he has been framed and he is not the murderer.”

Zhu Jian rolled eyes at him grumpily, but then it seemed that he immediately realized something. Hence, Zhu Jian added, “I know, you are worried about not having your share. You can rest assured because I will never treat my brothers shabbily. Follow me, wholeheartedly. I promise you that I can help you win promotion and get rich.”

Liu Qiang smiled. “Then, I’ll count on you then, captain.”

“Of course!” Zhu Jian made the promise. But in his heart, he cursed, “Idiot! It is ten million yuan. How can I fu*king share it with you?”

“If I give you too much money, I don’t want to. If I give you less money than you have expected, you won’t feel satisfied. It seems that I have to think of a way to shut him up.”

After Zhu Jian opened the handcuffs, Ding Ning moved his wrists a little. “Whose account should I transfer the money?”

Zhu Jian hesitated for a moment. “Transfer the money to my mistress’ account so as not to cause any trouble for me.”

“Okay. Then write the account number down for me.”

The muscles on Ding Ning’s face twitched. It seemed that he was very unwilling to do this.

In an ecstasy of delight, Zhu Jian hurriedly bent over the desk, writing the account number of his mistress. “Bro, start to transfer the money. After that, you will be free.”

“What about the evidence? If you turn against me and take me in again after collecting the money, to whom can I seek justice?”

Ding Ning looked at him with vigilance and said the thing he worried about.

“You can rest assured. As long as the money is transferred to me, I will definitely keep my promise.”

Zhu Jian checked Ding Ning’s account balance, which was precisely ten million yuan. Then, he felt so anxious in his heart as if there were cats scratching his heart. In a hurry, he patted his chest and guaranteed.

“That won’t work. What if your brother-in-law disagrees?” Ding Ning insisted on destroying the evidence before he transferred the money.

“Well, if you cannot trust me, I will go to steal the evidence now and destroy it right in front of you. You can transfer the money to me then. Is that okay?”

Zhu Jian was very sincere and said very impatiently. “You don’t need to worry about my brother-in-law. I will give him some money after this. He will certainly agree then.”

“OK, done!” Ding Ning said, feeling a sense of relief.

When Zhu Jian left, Ding Ning moved his wrists for a moment and stood up.

“Sit down, what are you going to do?”

Liu Qiang stared at him on the alert and groped for the spontoon hanging on his waist.

Ding Ning grinned. “It’s over.”

“What… Ah…”

Before Liu Qiang could respond, Ding Ning knocked him out with a slap.

Xiaocui flew out from the corner and landed on Ding Ning’s hand. It affectionately rubbed his palm with its mouth.

Ding Ning took the pinhole camera from it and took out the memory card from the camera. He plugged it into his mobile phone and sent the video to someone outside.

After he finished sending the video, Ding Ning picked up his phone and called someone. “Secretary Xu, the evidence is certain. You can tighten the ring of encirclement now.”
