Chapter 146: Shut Up

“What’s going on?” On Link, a global encrypted messaging up, a message popped up in a long-inactive chat group.

Then, a screenshot appeared on the screen.

It was a news screenshot with a man’s photo in the middle of the text.

Du Ming.

The group was quiet for a while. After a while, the person with the ID “Mole” replied, [I checked. The Ning family bribed the media to blow up the matter with that idiot. Du Ming was also involved.]

[The Ning Family?] The person with the ID “Moby Dick” who sent the first message seemed to be confused.

[Could it be that guy’s idea?] Another person in the group with the name “Black Shark” went online and asked.

“Moby Dick” was silent for a long time before shaking his head. [He wouldn’t dare.]

[What about Du Ming?] “Sea Anemone” who had the photo of a hot celebrity as their profile photo, asked.

[He’s useless now. He knows too many things. Find an opportunity to shut him up forever.]

“Moby Dick” gave the order in an indifferent tone. No one in the group replied to him, but he did not seem to care. Not long after, the number of people online fell to “0”, and the group fell into dead silence again.

“How dare the media spew nonsense! My boss must have been framed. How could he do such a thing? Don’t the higher-ups care? Someone is slandering the police!”

In the headquarters of the M City Police Bureau, He Bei, a young police officer in a police uniform, rushed into the bureau chief’s office and questioned him loudly as soon as he entered.

“Why are the young people so impatient? Don’t they know the rules? !”

The bureau chief Li Yi knocked on the table and shouted, “I’m also very upset that something like this happened to Du Ming, but the higher-ups will handle this matter. Didn’t you go to contact the informant? Who told you to come back? You’re leaving your post without permission!”

Li Yi threw He Bei out after a series of curses.

He Bei was thrown out, and he was even more anxious and flustered. Why was there no news from the Bureau even though there was such a commotion on the internet?

There was also the boss. Previously, the director had told him that boss had gone to the provincial department to study. He had been gone for so many days, so how could such a thing suddenly happen?

He Bei was burning with anxiety. He took out his cell phone and called Du Ming’s wife, Xiao Juan.

The cell phone kept ringing on the table.

Xiao Juan sat on the chair. Her hands were tied and she couldn’t move.

Was it her husband that called?

Xiao Juan desperately wanted to get close to the table. Her body trembled slightly, but soon, she fell to the ground, along with the chair.

She received a phone call more than a week ago. The person on the phone said that he was an old friend of her husband’s. He also accurately described the mission that her husband had participated in after he graduated from the police academy. Xiao Juan immediately believed the man.

The person said that Du Ming had gone on an extremely dangerous mission. As Du Ming’s identity was likely to be exposed, in order to avoid bad things from happening to his family, therefore, Du Ming asked his old friend to send a message to his wife, asking Xiao Juan to escape to the countryside with their two children.

Xiao Juan owned a small supermarket. After hearing this, she immediately closed the supermarket and told the shop assistant that she would take the children away for a while.

As Du Ming’s wife for so many years, Xiao Juan knew full well what Du Ming did as his job. In the early years, before Du Ming became the deputy director, he was out late for work. Since then.., from time to time, someone would send Xiao Juan threatening letters. They would even splash pig’s blood on the front door of the house and write all kinds of curses.

It was not until Du Ming became the deputy chief that the family’s financial conditions became better. They now lived in a high-end residential area.

However, as the wife of a police officer, Xiao Juan was deeply worried about her husband. She often felt uneasy and worried that something unexpected would happen.

She did not expect that this would happen again.

Xiao Juan returned to her hometown and stayed in her newly renovated house for two days. She vaguely felt that there was always someone watching her and her two children outside the house.

However, her husband’s friend said that they were there to protect them. Although Xiao Juan was a little uneasy, she still believed his words.

However, two days ago, somebody suddenly rushed in and grabbed Xiao Juan and her two children, tying them up. Their contact to the outside world was cut off and they were only provided three meals a day.

Xiao Juan had a bad premonition. She suspected that something bad had happened to her husband!

The phone kept ringing on the table. Xiao Juan desperately wriggled on the ground, trying to crawl over.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A thick stick hit the back of Xiao Juan’s neck hard. She felt a stabbing pain and immediately fainted.

The phone continued to ring for a while. The caller seemed to have given up, and the ringing stopped abruptly.
