Chapter 18: A Banquet for Three

When the first light of dawn fell on the detention center, the policeman who arrested Ning Zheng walked in front of Ning Zheng with complicated eyes.

"You can go. The policeman's face was unnatural, after all, he was the one who arrested Ning Zheng, who was innocent, last night, and now he was released, which was quite embarrassing.

After finishing speaking, he wanted to ask Ning Zheng what his relationship was with the director, but he finally swallowed the words back.

Ning Zheng dragged his tired and aching body out expressionlessly, and when he passed by the police, he said lightly, "Thank you, comrade police, for teaching me to grow." ”

The policeman's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it. Before he was sure what the relationship between Ning Zheng and the director was, it was better for him to be less offended.

Walking out of the door of the detention center and feeling the warmth of the sun, Ning Zheng's cold heart couldn't be warmed up.

Drip.

The sound of a car horn pulled Ning Zheng's thoughts back to reality, and following the sound, he looked over and just saw Xue Gongtian's Cayenne parked in front.

This time, Ning Zheng did not hesitate at all and walked over quickly.

Opening the co-pilot's door, Ning Zheng sat down, turned his head to look at Xue Gongtian gratefully, and thanked, "Boss Xue, thank you very much this time." ”

Xue Gongtian wouldn't have appeared here by such a coincidence, nine times out of ten he would have greeted him in the office. If it was before last night, he would be very resistant to this favor. But now Ning Zheng likes to owe favors, especially Xue Gongtian's favors. Only if he owes Xue Gongtian a favor, he can pay it back. And if he wants to return, he must have more in-depth contact with Xue Gongtian. Deepening, can promote the relationship between the two.

"I just made a phone call, and it was Director Yang of the Chengbei Police Station who really helped. Speaking of which, you also did him a great favor, as for Wang Haoguang's theft gang case, he wouldn't have been able to solve it without you. As soon as I mentioned your name, he agreed without saying a word. If you really want to thank him, please invite him to dinner someday. Xue Gongtian didn't blame all the credit on himself.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, or tonight, Boss Xue, you and Director Yang will come together." Ning Zheng smiled.

Xue Gongtian pondered for a moment and said, "That's okay, Xiao Ning, just find a restaurant, Director Yang doesn't like to go to high-end hotels to eat." Also, he likes to drink Moutai. ”

"Well, Boss Xue, if you leave a phone number for me, it's easy to contact me at night. Ning Zheng asked.

"135......" Xue Gongtian reported a number.

"Let's send you home first, by the way, Lao Meng called me last night and said that something happened to you, so you can call him with you at night." "Xue Gong Tiandao.

"Okay, Boss Xue, then Director Yang will be called by you. Ning Zhengdao, with Xue Gongtian coming forward, Director Yang should not refuse.

"Okay. Xue Gongtian agreed.

Xue Gongtian's driver had quite good driving skills, and under the smooth high-speed, he sent Ning Zheng home in only ten minutes.

Ning Zheng pushed the door and walked in, and happened to see Yao Chunxia cooking things in the kitchen on the second floor.

"Mom. Ning Zheng shouted.

"Son. Yao Chunxia ran over and hugged him excitedly after hearing Ning Zheng's voice, and said with a worried face, "You're scared to death, mom, if you go to prison, then our family will be over." ”

Ning Zheng's heart was blocked, his Adam's apple slid for a moment, and then said, "Mom, I won't let you worry anymore." ”

"It's okay if you're fine, you're hungry, I'll go and cook you something to eat." Yao Chunxia recovered her state and let go of Ning Zhengdao.

Ning Zheng said "um".

Yao Chunxia turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

When Ning Zheng was just about to go into the room to take a shower, he inadvertently saw the bright red passbook on the table out of the corner of his eye, and he was suspicious, so he walked over and picked up the passbook.

The first page I opened saw a sum of 50,000 yuan taken out, looking at the date, it was the time of yesterday afternoon.

"Mom, what's the matter with these 50,000 yuan?" Ning Zhengyi raised his head and shouted to Yao Chunxia in the kitchen.

"Ah!" Yao Chunxia's hand trembling when she opened the refrigerator, and she continued to take out two duck eggs nervously, and said in a slightly panicked voice, "It was a friend of my mother who had something at home and needed urgent use, so my mother lent it to them." ”

"Who is that friend, and what's going on with their family?" Ning Zheng asked with a straight face.

Yao Chunxia couldn't help rubbing her hand holding the duck egg, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

"Mom, if you don't say it, then the two of us will be here today. When you say it, I'll let you out. Ning Zheng slammed the passbook on the table.

The sudden heavy voice really startled Yao Chunxia, and she hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "Xiao Zheng, didn't you hurt others." Director Lu said that if you give 50,000 yuan, you will be settled, otherwise you will be sent to prison. As long as you can come back safely, this money is nothing. Our family still has a lot of savings over the years, and we can still get 50,000 yuan. Now that you're back, don't bother Director Lu. We are a small family, how can we beat Director Lu. The job is gone, so your dad and I are looking for it. ”

Ning Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, struggling to suppress the anger that was about to erupt in his throat, and then said in a cold voice, "Mom, I know." ”

With that, he walked into his room.

After taking a shower and having breakfast, Ning Zheng lay on the bed and used his mobile phone to find a restaurant in Meituan. After choosing a hotel called Jinxiu, he made a * phone number, and then sent the address box number to Xue Gongtian.

"Hey, Uncle Meng, well, I'm out. Boss Xue told me that you asked him for help. Yes, do you have time in the evening, I invite you to have a meal and thank you. Okay, then I'll come to the store with you later. ”

After making a phone call, Ning Zheng closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Recharge your energy to do a good job at night.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the box on the second floor of the Splendid Hotel on Fuchun Road.

Ning Zheng poured himself a glass of Moutai liquor, stood up and toasted to Director Yang, "Director Yang, thanks to your help today, otherwise I would still be in the detention center." I thank you for this wine. ”

As soon as the words fell, he poured a small cup of Moutai into his mouth in one gulp, and a sweet and slightly spicy taste rushed into his throat, like a fire burning.

"The young man is bold, and I admire people who drink without dragging their feet. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have solved the theft at the passenger terminal. Gifts are still exchanged, and I will also toast you. A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face said heartily.

Ning Zheng hurriedly poured Director Yang a glass of wine.

Director Yang smiled and raised his head to drink, "Tsk, after drinking so much wine, Moutai is still strong." ”

"Yang Suo, then drink two more drinks tonight. Xue Gongtian said on the side.

"You can't drink too much, I have to go to work tomorrow, just have a few drinks. Director Yang said.

"Director Yang, let's eat some food to fill your stomach first, the sauerkraut fish here tastes quite good. Ning Zheng said and took a small bowl of sauerkraut fish and handed it to Director Yang.

Director Yang glanced at Ning Zheng with satisfaction, took the small bowl, and said with a smile, "Then I'll try it." ”
