Chapter 1840 Women Don't Love Men Who Aren't Bad

That day, a man named Mr. Li came to the police station.

It turned out that one of his men, Tang Shouyu, had been mistakenly arrested by the police, and he wanted to come to the police station to take him away.

After interrogating Tang Shouyu, Captain Qin found nothing unusual and decided to have Su Ning release him.

In the police station's reception room, General Manager Li, dressed in a suit and tie, sat on the sofa, his fingers tapping incessantly on the armrest.

Two men who looked like lawyers stood behind him, with a thick stack of documents in front of them.

"Captain Qin, this is completely a misunderstanding." General Manager Li adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Xiao Tang was just doing a routine inspection of the warehouse, how did he become a suspect in a theft case?"

Captain Qin flipped through the case files, his brow furrowed.

Indeed, the interrogation records show that Tang Shouyu has an alibi, and surveillance footage also confirms that he was in another district at the time.

"I can release him." Captain Qin closed the file. "But the case isn't closed yet, and he has to be available whenever summoned."

"Of course! Of course." General Manager Li stood up with a broad smile and shook hands. "Thank you, Captain Qin, for your keen insight."

Half an hour later, Su Ning met Tang Shouyu at the entrance of the detention cell.

A man in his early thirties with a shrewd face, his Patek Philippe watch gleaming under the lights.

"Officer Jian, right?" Tang Shouyu warmly shook Su Ning's hand. "Thank you for coming all this way. I'm a scaredy-cat, and I didn't sleep a wink all night inside."

Suning handled the release procedures in a formal and official manner.

Just as Tang Shouyu was about to leave, he suddenly turned around: "Officer Jian, I heard you like shooting? I know the Blue Shield Club well, how about we spar sometime?"

Before Suning could reply, Tang Shouyu had already caught up with President Li and his entourage, leaving behind only a meaningful smile.

Three days later, at the Blue Shield Shooting Club.

Suning was practicing moving target shooting when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Officer Jian, what a coincidence!"

Tang Shouyu suddenly appeared behind me, carrying a paper bag with the club's logo on it.

"I heard you're going to participate in the city competition? Here's a small gift to wish you the best of luck."

Before Suning could refuse, Tang Shouyu had already put down the paper bag and left.

Inside the paper bag were two beautifully packaged bottles of imported liquor, which looked quite expensive.

After training and back in the car, Su Ning felt that the weight of the paper bag was off.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the bottom of the wine box had been cleverly fitted with a hidden compartment…

There were five neatly stacked stacks of 100-yuan bills inside, totaling at least 50,000 yuan.

"Damn it!" Su Ning cursed, immediately started the car and turned back to the police station.

Because Su Ning had already recalled this plot, he naturally knew that this was a test from Captain Qin.

It's obvious that he values ​​Su Ning immensely, sometimes to the point that it makes Su Ning feel suffocated.

……

In Captain Qin's office at the Criminal Investigation Division, five stacks of banknotes were laid out on his desk.

Captain Qin gently poked at the pile of money with his fingers, his expression inscrutable.

“Captain, this is blatant bribery.” Su Ning stood ramrod straight. “I request that immediate action be taken against Tang Shouyu. We absolutely cannot allow them to corrupt such a fine young man.”

“Xiao Jian,” Captain Qin suddenly interrupted him, “how much is your monthly salary?”

Suning was taken aback: "After becoming a full-time employee, the salary plus subsidies will be 4,200."

"That's almost a year's salary for you." Captain Qin pushed the money away. "Tang Shouyu gave you this money, it's definitely not for you, a lowly auxiliary police officer. It's probably a thank-you gift. Or... just pretend you don't know?"

The office suddenly fell silent.

The ticking of the second hand on the wall clock was clearly audible.

Su Ning looked directly into Captain Qin's eyes: "Captain, I took an oath on the first day I applied to the police academy. If there's even a drop of dirt on my badge, I can never wipe it clean for the rest of my life."

A hint of a smile flashed in Captain Qin's eyes, but he quickly straightened his face again: "Don't be so rigid. That's how society is now; if the water is too clear, there will be no fish!"

"Then I won't cook this fish!" Su Ning grabbed the money and stuffed it back into the evidence bag. "If the captain won't accept it, I'll hand it over to the disciplinary committee! If I wanted to make money, I'd rather inherit my dad's restaurant than go through all that trouble to become a police officer?"

"Good!" Captain Qin suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, a smile finally appearing on his face. "I knew I hadn't misjudged him!"

He opened a drawer and took out a document: "Actually, Tang Shouyu is a key figure in the smuggling case we've been monitoring for half a year. Today's incident is both a test of him and a test of you."

Su Ning suddenly realized why Tang Shouyu was able to release him so quickly; it turned out he was playing the long game.

"Do your best in the city shooting competition next week." Captain Qin's smile faded. "I have an important task for you after the competition."

"Thank you, Captain Qin."

"Hmm, I heard you and Captain Liang Wuyun were classmates at the police academy?"

"Yes! But she's an outstanding student at the police academy, while I'm just a nobody."

"No! I feel that you are wise beyond your years, having accumulated knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Captain Qin! I will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, go ahead! Since you and Captain Liang are old classmates, you should try to maintain your relationship. It will be good for your future development."

"Thank you, Captain Qin! I will."

Actually, I was quite moved to hear Captain Qin say that, after all, Liang Wuyun's father is the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

If I were to become Director Liang's son-in-law, my future in the police force would be bright.

Unfortunately, I didn't control the heat well. Before the beef brisket was tender, I eagerly lifted the lid to taste it, only to find that it was tough and chewy.

Ever since he flirted with Liang Wuyun once, Liang Wuyun has never given him a kind look again.

……

On the day of the shooting competition, Su Ning won the rapid fire pistol championship with an absolute advantage.

His dashing appearance caused a group of policewomen to scream repeatedly, all asking if Su Ning was already taken.

Liang Wuyun, sitting in the audience, curled her lip in disdain, feeling that the policewomen next to her had such low standards.

After receiving the award, Su Ning returned to the police station and was immediately grabbed by Xiao Chenggang as soon as he entered the door.

"Old Jian, hurry! The Economic Crime Investigation Division is looking for you!"

"..."

There were more than a dozen police officers sitting in the conference room, and Captain Liu of the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment was explaining something.

Seeing Su Ning enter, Captain Liu's eyes lit up: "Our sharpshooter is back! Perfect, come and try this out."

There were twenty 100-yuan bills on the table. Captain Liu explained, "There are five counterfeit bills among them. Let's see who can find them all."

Several police officers took turns approaching, and at best they could only find three counterfeit bills.

When it was Suning's turn, he didn't use the usual methods of touching, looking, and listening. Instead, he gently fanned the banknotes and occasionally examined them against the light.

“This one, this one… and this one.” In less than a minute, Su Ning picked out five bills and pushed them to Captain Liu. “These two are counterfeit bills from 2005, the watermark is blurry; these three are counterfeit bills from 2015, the security thread has a problem.”

The meeting room erupted in commotion. Captain Liu stared at him in astonishment: "How did you figure that out? You even know the version?"

“The feel,” Su Ning said casually. “The proportion of cotton fibers in genuine banknotes is specific. No matter how well counterfeit banknotes are imitated, there will still be subtle differences in the feel.”

In fact, this was a skill he honed while working as a financial agent in another world.

Moreover, Su Ning's divine sense is at the level of an Immortal Emperor, so it would be easy for him to see the color of the policewoman's underwear next to him.

At his peak, he could distinguish the banknotes of thirty different countries with his eyes closed.

Captain Liu exchanged a glance with his assistant Shuyun and immediately decided: "Comrade Jian Fan, please assist us in carrying out a special mission."

"Will there be any benefits for completing the task?"

"Of course! He'll get at least a third-class merit award."

Then Su Ning left the Criminal Investigation Detachment with Captain Liu and Shu Yun, while Liang Wuyun in the office kept an eye on Su Ning's situation.

The saying "women love bad boys" is not just a joke. Liang Wuyun is now attracted to the bad boy Su Ning.

Liang Wuyun had always harbored feelings for Su Ning, and in her office, thinking about Su Ning's trip to the front lines, she couldn't help but worry.

So she specifically called the policewoman Shuyun to ask about Su Ning, but Shuyun refused, saying that Su Ning was participating in a confidential mission.

In the car, policewoman Shuyun briefly introduced the case to Su Ning: a counterfeit money gang active in surrounding provinces recently moved to this city. The Economic Investigation Detachment has identified three main members, but the mastermind has not yet shown up.

“We need an officer with special identification skills to pose as a buyer and lure the suspects out.” Shuyun said, handing over a document. “This is your new identity—Jian Xiaofan, a rich second-generation heir who runs a building materials business and has recently become obsessed with antique trading.”

Su Ning quickly browsed through the forged identity information and suddenly saw a familiar name on a contact list—Jiang Jiuding.

According to available information, "Jian Xiaofan" had been in contact with underground banks through Jiang Jiuding's introduction.

"This is Officer Hu Lijun, your 'wife'," Shuyun introduced, pointing to a mature woman in the back seat.

Suning turned his head and took a serious look at his partner for the first time.

Hu Lijun looked to be in her mid-thirties, with chestnut-colored curly hair pulled back. She had delicate features, but fine lines were already visible at the corners of her eyes. Her every move exuded competence and charm, especially her large, expressive eyes, which almost made Su Ning lose his composure.

"Hello, Sister Lijun." Su Ning greeted her politely, "This mission is all thanks to you."

Hu Lijun chuckled: "Oh! The troublemaker Qin mentioned is so well-behaved? Doesn't seem like it!"

"That depends on who it is." Su Ning blinked. "I'm always very well-behaved with beautiful women."

"You're so glib!" Hu Lijun scolded playfully, but couldn't help glancing at the young man a few more times.

Most newcomers either stutter from nervousness when they first meet her or deliberately keep their distance; it's rare to see someone as naturally joking as Su Ning.

Upon arriving at the Economic Crime Investigation Division, Captain Liu explained the action plan in detail.

They will meet with the three suspects at the Emperor Hotel, pretending to buy a large amount of high-quality counterfeit currency, in order to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.

“Remember, you are a newlywed couple who made a fortune in the building materials business and are now looking to invest in antiques,” Captain Liu emphasized. “Jian Fan needs to act like he’s obsessed with counterfeit money, but not an expert, so that we can lure them in.”

Hu Lijun added, "According to intelligence, they might use beautiful women to test you. Remember, you are a married man."

"Don't worry." Su Ning said seriously, "With a wife like Sister Lijun at home, I wouldn't even look at any other women outside."

A burst of laughter erupted in the conference room.

Hu Lijun made a gesture as if to hit him, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

This young man has a peculiar quality, both frivolous and reliable, making people want to get close to him.

Of course, visiting your home shows great respect for all the policewomen present. You know, being an undercover policewoman is very difficult; you can encounter all sorts of situations.

Therefore, Suning really didn't have any evil intentions towards them, and the jokes were just meant to ease the atmosphere.

……

In suite 1708 of the Emperor Hotel, Suning stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city night view.

Behind them, Hu Lijun was checking the eavesdropping equipment.

Hu Lijun, who had been closely watching Suning's performance, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Jian Fan, aren't you scared at all?"

Su Ning turned around, his smile relaxed: "What's there to be afraid of? If a beautiful woman like you isn't afraid, what's there for a grown man like me to be afraid of?"

"Hmph! I didn't expect you to be such a smooth-talking little thing." Hu Lijun frowned. "The first time I went on a mission like this, my hands were shaking so badly I couldn't even hold a coffee cup. But you, you're like you're going to the market."

"I'm telling the truth! Although you're a bit older, you still have a mature charm."

"It seems you know a lot about women?"

"Sister Lijun, shall we discuss the case further?"

"..." Seeing that Su Ning wasn't buying her act, Hu Lijun felt a little resentful.

Su Ning walked over to her and picked up the suspect files from the coffee table: "These three are just small fry. What I'm curious about is..."

He pointed to one of the photos and said, "This guy called 'Old Cat' seems to have just met with Jiang Jiuding last week."

"Jiang Jiuding of Dingshan Group?" Hu Lijun became alert. "Are you sure?"

“I’ve been in contact with Jiang Jiuding! He bought a braised meat recipe from me,” Su Ning explained vaguely. “What connection could counterfeit money have with a restaurant group?”

Hu Lijun pondered for a moment: "Jiang Jiuding owns several underground banks, which have always been under our surveillance. If he is involved in the counterfeit money case..."

She suddenly stopped, "This matter needs to be reported to Captain Liu first."

"Wait a minute." Su Ning pressed down on her hand holding the phone. "Reporting now will only alert them. Let's proceed as planned and see if we can catch a bigger fish."

Hu Lijun stared at Su Ning for a few seconds, then slowly put down the phone: "Who exactly are you? Ordinary new police officers don't have this kind of knowledge."

“A man,” Su Ning suddenly leaned closer and whispered in her ear, “a man who admires you a lot.”

Hu Lijun's ears burned, and she was about to lash out when the doorbell suddenly rang—the suspect had arrived.

Su Ning instantly switched gears, straightened his suit and tie, and put on an exaggerated smile: "Darling, open the door and welcome our distinguished guest."

Hu Lijun paused, then suddenly realized that the young man's flippant manner just now might all have been an act.

She took a deep breath, put on a charming smile, and took Su Ning's arm: "Let's go, honey."

The moment the door opened, three men stood outside.

The fat man at the head of the group smiled broadly: "Boss Jian? I've heard so much about you!"

"Mr. Zhang! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Su Ning warmly shook the other man's hand, but her eyes went past the fat man's shoulder.

I caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past at the end of the corridor; the Patek Philippe on that person's wrist gleamed coldly under the light.

Tang Shouyu? What's he doing here?

Alarm bells rang in Su Ning's mind, but his smile remained unchanged as he affectionately embraced his "wife" and ushered the guest into the room.

This dangerous game has only just begun.

Moreover, the game was far more thrilling than he had imagined, but to him they were nothing but scumbags.

Su Ning was able to easily resolve all the dangers, so he kept observing Tang Shouyu's every move with his divine sense.

It was a coincidence that he discovered this guy's sudden appearance, and he hadn't even noticed his own situation.

……
