85: Chapter 85 Using Zhao Xue's photo to scare people

Sun Ning had Deputy Chief Wei Minhang secretly detain Yan San and send him to Xinniu City.

He himself drove from Bianzhou towards Xinniu.

Driving at high speed, Sun Ning quickly arrived at his destination.

Upon arrival, Sun Ning said to Zhao Xue, "Sister Xue, just in case, let's use your big signboard later."

Although Gao Feng had already called Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Sun Ning did not know this man.

He did not dare to bet that this Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo would cooperate unconditionally.

Bringing out Zhao Xue as a big signboard was also to give Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo some confidence.

Zhao Xue vigorously patted her ample chest, saying very boldly, "Sister here will scare the life out of him."

Bluffing was Zhao Xue's specialty, so Sun Ning was very reassured.

Sun Ning smiled knowingly and took out his phone to dial Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin.

"Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo, it's Sun Ning from Zhongzhou. We just spoke yesterday. I'm at the coffee shop near the bureau."

Ten minutes later, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin appeared in the coffee shop.

Sun Ning took one look; Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin was short, slightly chubby, dark-skinned, and looked just like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo, nice to meet you. Please give me your guidance in the future!"

"Not at all. Township Head Sun is truly handsome and dashing. It is indeed better to see for oneself than to hear a hundred times!"

It was clear that this Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo was not a simple, straightforward man.

To be honest, Sun Ning did not like dealing with such people.

He preferred straightforward, direct men.

However, this type of person was easier to deal with; sometimes, with just a look, he would understand what others meant.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin looked at Zhao Xue, who was standing beside Sun Ning.

"And this is?"

As soon as he entered and recognized Sun Ning from the call, he saw that Sun Ning had brought a woman with him.

He instantly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

This was hardly the marshal Gao Feng had chosen to hold down the center; this person looked like a playboy.

Who would bring a woman along to do this kind of work? Did he have no sense of confidentiality at all?

But because of Gao Feng, he could only step forward and exchange pleasantries.

"Apologies, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo, I forgot to introduce you."

Sun Ning started by apologizing, strictly adhering to the duties of a subordinate.

But the following words made the Municipal Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief, whose attitude had been slightly arrogant, bend his waist.

"This is my friend Zhao Xue, the daughter of President Zhao Donglai of the Daily Newspaper Office, and her grandfather is Zhao [Redacted]."

People at Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin's level might not have had much of an impression of Zhao Xue's grandfather.

After all, the old man was advanced in age, and his status within the Party was not particularly prominent.

People who had not reached a certain level did not know the old man's power.

The name Zhao Donglai might not be familiar to Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin, who was in the public security system.

But he knew the position of President of the Daily Newspaper Office all too well.

For someone of Zhao Donglai's status, being sent down to a local area to be a governor of an average province would be a demotion; usually, they would be matched with a Provincial Party Secretary.

Upon hearing Sun Ning's introduction, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin's straight, proud back instantly bent.

A smile that he considered his best appeared on his face.

He quickly extended both hands and said humbly, "Hello, Ms. Zhao. It is truly a great honor for me that you could come to such a small place as ours."

Goodness, just one signboard had scared Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin until he was incoherent.

Zhao Xue gave him face and shook his hand.

Her face instantly regained the temperament of a superior, and she said in a calm tone.

"Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo, you are too polite. Contact me when you come to the capital another day, and I will host a welcome banquet for you."

You have to admit, once Zhao Xue struck that playboy pose, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin did not doubt her for a second.

This flavor was simply too authentic, too intoxicating!

"I wouldn't dare disturb you, Ms. Zhao!"

Watching Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin, who felt honored by the association, Sun Ning knew it was time for him to step up and support Zhao Xue.

The Daily Newspaper Office had an impact on Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin, but it was not a department that directly managed public security.

Sun Ning chimed in from the side, "Sister Xue is famous in the capital for being loyal. If you don't disturb Sister Xue, isn't that just refusing to give her face?"

"Sister Xue, I recall that Reporter Liu Peng's father is a Minister's Assistant, right?"

"Oh, that kid Reporter Liu Peng's father is indeed Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo's direct superior. Let's all hang out next time you come to the capital."

At this moment, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin couldn't even speak properly.

He clasped his hands together, rubbing them incessantly, while hurriedly expressing his thanks.

Seeing that the timing was right, Sun Ning quickly said, "Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo, shall we find a quiet place?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Now, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin acted as if he were a subordinate.

In a private room in the coffee shop, Sun Ning took out the video from Gao Feng's home.

"With this evidence, I believe that with Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo's methods, you will certainly be able to get the relevant evidence from Yan San's mouth!"

"Comrade Wei has already sent Yan San to the Hongqi Branch Bureau. I will have people from there come to collect the evidence shortly. With these, prying his mouth open will be as easy as pie."

"Hmm, once the evidence is solidified, it is best to report it to the Provincial Department as soon as possible."

The procedure at the Xinniu Municipal Public Security Bureau was very simple: they caught a thief and then interrogated him.

Yan San didn't even know how he had ended up in Xinniu City.

He only knew that after committing the crime, he started fleeing, and then inexplicably arrived in Xinniu and was caught.

Now with this video, the mouth of a thief like Yan San was not that tight.

They also lacked the courage to take sole responsibility for the crimes.

After obtaining the evidence, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin left in a hurry.

Before leaving, he specifically added Sun Ning's contact information, even though he already had it.

This was clearly a case of having an ulterior motive.

Sun Ning smiled and let Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin add Zhao Xue's contact information.

Only then did he leave, feeling satisfied.

As for whether he would call or dare to call, that was a matter for the future.

Right now, he was happy because he had the contact information of a woman from a prominent family.

After Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin left, Sun Ning took Zhao Xue and left the coffee shop.

In both of his lifetimes combined, he had never been able to get used to this stuff.

He also couldn't have imagined that Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin actually liked foreign things like coffee.

Wasn't the Maojian tea from the southern cities of Heyang fragrant?

"Let's go, Brother will take you to eat Xinniu's specialty braised lamb; that stuff is great for nourishing the body."

"Beast!"

Sun Ning swore that he purely meant to say that lamb is nourishing.

It had nothing to do with him that Zhao Xue's thoughts had gone astray.

The two headed happily towards the most famous braised lamb restaurant.

At first, Sun Ning thought that such children from prominent families must be pampered, and he was embarrassed to take her to hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

After getting to know her, he realized that this lady also frequented hole-in-the-wall restaurants all over the capital.

This shattered Sun Ning's filtered perception of children from prominent families.

After that, Sun Ning felt no more burden and took Zhao Xue wandering all over the streets.

Not long after the two finished their meal, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin called.

"Township Head Sun, Yan San has confessed. We have the recordings and the statement. The branch bureau will submit it to the Municipal Public Security Bureau this afternoon, and I will report this matter to Mayor Yongchao."

Mayor Yongchao?

Vice Mayor of Xinniu City and concurrently Director of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Yongchao.

Sun Ning sensitively detected the conflict between Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin and Liu Yongchao.

Logically speaking, as Liu Yongchao's main assistant, Deputy Bureau Chief Zuo Senlin should have addressed him as Director Yongchao.

But he addressed him as Mayor Yongchao, which was clearly an impatient desire for someone to step down from the position of Director.

Of course, Sun Ning did not ask about the dirty laundry between the two.

All he wanted was for things to proceed smoothly!
