Chapter 44 Bidding

Nguyen Duong
It was Ru Ling who saved Lin Jing, but in the end, it was Lin Jing who killed Ru Ling.
At least that's what Ru thinks. Me? I'm a police officer, there is no evidence, it doesn't matter what I think, anyway, Ru Ling is dead, and we haven't found the murderer. Therefore, I have always suspected that Ru Jing did it herself because she was disappointed with the police. But it seems that she has made up her mind to take revenge from the beginning, but when I know it, it is too late.
That kidnapping was actually the trigger point for all events, and since then, the torrent of fate has swept through the lives of many people like a flood of beasts, swallowing up the peace they once hated, and since then Ru Jing's nightmare and I have been brewing.
Lin Jing will be kidnapped, it can be said that she is not innocent at all, there is an old Chinese saying, called the father to repay the debt, on the surface she was affected by his father Lin Fuchun, in fact, her later actions proved that she was not innocent, and even sometimes when she thought about it, she was a little hateful to die.
If I had been in the hospital the day before yesterday, I would have killed her directly, and yes, Ru Jing was still too merciful to her, so much so that she had the opportunity to continue hurting herself. A woman like her, in order to satisfy her desires, will definitely do whatever it takes. Don't be deceived by the weakness of her appearance, I even suspect that Yu Huai's daughter is simply hidden by herself.
Objective? What purpose can she have, it's not for Yu Huai, Yu Huai is her chance to turn over, how can she let go. The kidnapping triggered the cordon, and Dinghong Company has been living under the searchlight since then, and the dirty deeds they covered up were dug up little by little, and after 2 years, the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and it was declared bankrupt.
Of course, that was all later, at that time we didn't know who we were trying to save, we just felt that a girl, just returned from studying abroad, was kidnapped before entering the house, and the kidnappers also threatened with nude photos, which is really pitiful. So I have been doing my best to track down Lin Jing's whereabouts and investigate the clues of the kidnappers.
However, from the very beginning, we found out that many things about Lin Fuchun gave people a sense of secrecy, although he was anxious, he had reservations about the police, so we cast a big net, but for 2 days, not a single fish was caught.
Later, when Ru Ling and I visited the real estate project under construction under Dinghong, we accidentally went to the wrong place, and when we went to the project of another small real estate company called Yicheng, the person in charge of the project and we didn't realize that we went to the wrong place at first. They thought we were investigating thefts on the project, we thought they were reporting on anomalies on the construction site, and at the end of the conversation, we realized that it was wrong.
When we were about to leave, Ding Ling, the assistant general manager of Yicheng, suddenly came to the project to learn about the rectification measures of the on-site security, and when she saw me and Ru Ling, she immediately recognized us as the police investigating Lin Jing's kidnapping case.
When we were investigating suspects before, we visited the same industry that had fierce competition with Dinghong Group, and when we went to Yicheng, it was Ding Ling who received us. She expressed her dissatisfaction with our investigation and clearly replied that although the company is small, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and victory and defeat are common things, and she will never use such inferior means to harm others and herself. And it is very unceremonious to accuse the police of this wide-ranging investigation method, which insults all the companies under investigation in the same industry, and even for some listed companies, it has caused stock price fluctuations and suffered losses in reputation and economy.
Although I felt unhappy after Ru Ling and I ran into a wall, I actually agreed with her statement, it is true that this way of casting the net is a bit abrupt, but due to the pressure of solving the case and the attention of public opinion from the high-level, I dare not miss any possibility.
This time, Ding Ling saw that the two of us had actually found the wrong construction site, and she couldn't help but sneer at us again. But when we learned the name of the project we were looking for, we suddenly said a black material of Dinghong Group that involved multiple departments of the public procuratorate and law.
We are looking for a construction site for a commercial and residential project called Mingcheng Yufu, Ding Ling said that the land was auctioned at that time, and there were more than 50 companies of all sizes that participated in the auction at the beginning. However, the day before the auction started, many large real estate companies, including Zhuochuang, announced their withdrawal, due to the large changes in the bidding companies, on the day of the auction, it was suddenly announced that the bidding time was postponed by one day.
Ding Ling said that she arrived at the auction site on the day of the scheduled start of the auction, because no one notified the auction time before she went, so she hurried to the auction house with two colleagues, one driver and a local relation. As soon as I entered the door, I found that I didn't know what was going on, and the office of the auction agency was surrounded by water. The representatives of the real estate companies who arrived first were whispering, she leaned in to listen to a few words, and intermittently heard that the staff of the auction agency did not know what reason and the surrounding residents had a quarrel, the two sides moved, someone was injured, and was waiting for the police to arrive at the scene to deal with it.
On the door of the auction venue, there is a very casually written announcement of the postponement of the auction printed on A4 paper. Only then did Ding Ling know that time had changed. But since she arrived, it was good to get to know the competitors, so she was led by a local relational to greet representatives of various enterprises and some local celebrities outside the venue.
went around and around, and was brought to a person named Mr. Fu. Ding Ling said that she could see at a glance that the so-called Mr. Fu was not an ordinary representative of the company participating in the auction, but more like a ruffian bully. So she simply said hello and prepared to leave. But she was stopped by Mr. Fu, who asked her:
"Little girl, you're also coming to the auction?"
"Yes." Ding Ling felt that he was asking very strangely, after all, there were few idlers present.
"The bidding time has changed, you know."
"Yes, it's 8:00 tomorrow morning."
"I advise you not to come tomorrow, this kind of occasion is not suitable for you to show up at a girl's house."
Ding Ling thought that he was just a little discriminatory against women, and there were many occasions in the construction industry to discriminate against women, and she was used to it, so she smiled back and took people away.
As a result, the next day, when she drove into the parking lot of the auction shop with her colleagues, she finally understood what she meant by yesterday's sentence.
The scene was full of people, but there was really no woman. And they arrived not early, but not late, looking at the crowded appearance, it seems that all the business representatives have arrived, the parking lot, the stairs, the corridor is crowded with more than 100 people, their cars almost have a feeling of being caught in the welcome.
Seeing this scene, the local related person suddenly said to the driver, don't turn off the car, turn around, and wait in place. turned around and repeatedly told Ding Ling not to get separated from everyone. Ding Ling thought he was strange at first, but as soon as she got out of the car, she understood.
As soon as her toes touched the ground, someone came up and surrounded them, a group of people, dressed in black formal suits, with a paper tube rolled in their hands, and a machete wrapped in the paper tube, shaking intentionally or unintentionally so that Ding Ling could see it. The car parked next to it, the trunk was open, all the iron pipes were placed inside, the van door on the right was also open, and a group of men in the same black suits were sitting, rolling up their sleeves, smoking cigarettes, and looking Ding Ling up and down.
A person who looked like a small boss came out and asked Ding Ling politely:
"Which company?"
"Yicheng Real Estate." Ding Ling replied, not knowing what the person in front of him was going to do.
"Little brother, we met Mr. Fu yesterday, and he knew that we would be here today." The local related person came out and stood next to Ding Ling to explain, looking respectful.
"Wait." The little boss took out the phone and called the Mr. Fu.
"Mr. Fu came to Yicheng Real Estate, and he is still a woman. Okay, got it. The person in charge hung up the phone and looked at Ding Ling again to see the other colleagues behind Ding Ling.
"I can let you in, but you'll have to hand over the sign."
"I'm here to bid, I've handed over the brand, how else can I bid?" Ding Ling said dissatisfied.
"To tell you the truth, we have controlled this game today, and we have handed over the sign, we can let you in to see the excitement, if you don't hand over the sign, you won't have to see the excitement."
"Do you mean there's no one bidding but you?" Ding Ling asked boldly.
"That's right!"
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"If you don't believe me, don't go in." The little boss was ready to leave, but the human wall did not retreat.
"Wait, I won't hand over the sign, but if no one raises a sign, I will never do the second bid, but if someone else participates, you can't stop me from doing the third, okay?"
The person in charge looked at Ding Ling and smiled, probably thinking that she was not small.
"It's fine, but I'll warn you first, if you dare to do the second one, don't think about it."
Next, he personally pulled Ding Ling to the venue on the third floor, and the related people and other colleagues brought by Ding Ling wanted to follow, but they were all stopped and surrounded in place, no one was allowed to move, and Ding Ling had to walk towards the venue alone.
Ding Ling followed behind the little leader, and the black-clothed thugs who were blocked on the stairs and corridors along the way saluted her. It felt as if walking through a wheat field, and the little leader opened the ears of wheat in front of them, and the two of them walked over, and the ears of wheat closed behind them again. From time to time, there was a variety of talk in the places they passed.
"What kind of company is this, actually let a woman come."
"This woman is very bold and dares to go inside."
"It seems to be specially approved by Mr. Fu, I guess I think it's fun."
"Isn't it sent by the bridge to smash the field, and if there is no one, just send a woman."
Listening to these discussions, Ding Ling realized that she should have entered the wolf's den, and it was too late to regret it, the little leader grabbed her to the end, pulled all the way to the venue, and sat in the third row at the front of the venue.
Ding Ling sat down and looked around the whole venue, the host of the auction house sat on the rostrum, the staff of the public procuratorate and law on the left and right sides sat in two rows, the people from the notary office sat in the first row of the venue, and the government leaders of the land plot also sat in the first row, and only she and Xiaotou were currently sitting in the second row, and the remaining whole row was empty. From the third row onwards, there were people sitting as if they were representatives of other companies, but most of the thugs were still dressed in black suits, and all of them were men. The door that just came in was already surrounded by water.
The little leader pressed Ding Ling's hand holding the sign, put it on the table in front of him, and pointed to the two people in front of him with the other hand, and said to Ding Ling:
"These two are people from our company, only they will hold up signs, you can see clearly, don't move, otherwise I won't be able to take you away." said that his hand was rubbed a few times on the back of Ding Ling's hand.
"Good!" Ding Ling nodded, thinking that the public prosecutors and the law were all there, could there still be a situation where no one was bidding, no matter what happened, it was impossible to cover the sky with one hand.
However, what happened next really made Ding Ling unforgettable in her life, completely breaking her three views......
