Chapter 1848 Forced into the Palace
Then Su Ning took Liang Wuyun to the shooting club.

Liang Wuyun watched as Su Ning fired one expensive bullet after another without any hesitation.

She also knew that Su Ning must be short of money due to his recent house purchase and renovation, and simply couldn't afford the cost of bullets. Therefore, she concluded that Su Ning must have been secretly receiving bribes.

"Jian Fan, tell me honestly, did you secretly take bribes?"

"Wu Yun, you've misunderstood me! This shooting club membership card was given to me by Captain Qin, and Captain Qin also told me that he is a guest instructor at this club, so shooting bullets doesn't cost any money."

"Really?" Liang Wuyun asked, beginning to doubt.

"If you don't believe me, we can check the backend data right now?"

"Alright! I'd like to see what's going on."

The two of them then went to the club's backstage area and, posing as police officers, demanded that the club produce relevant documents. In the end, it was confirmed that Captain Qin's previous statements were all lies.

Therefore, it seems that Captain Qin deliberately arranged for Su Ning to come here for training for a specific purpose. It is very likely that he secretly arranged for Su Ning to participate in a mysterious mission.

"Jian Fan, what exactly is going on?"

"I was introduced to the club's owner, Tang Shouyu, by Captain Qin. Moreover, Captain Qin has been intentionally or unintentionally arranging for me to come into contact with Tang Shouyu, so I guess Captain Qin must have some mysterious mission."

"So what exactly is the mission?"

"I don't know! So we should be cautious going forward."

"..."

……

Then, General Manager Li told Tang Lianqing about how Tang Shouyu had successfully recovered the debt.

However, Tang Lianqing was a meticulous woman. Seeing how smoothly the money was being collected, she, like Su Ning, became suspicious. She felt that someone must be manipulating everything behind the scenes.

After Suning finished renovating the house, he immediately brought his girlfriend Liang Wuyun over.

"Wu Yun, this key is yours from now on."

"Hmph! I don't want to!"

"You're the lady of the house, if you don't want her, who will?"

"Dream on! Did I say yes?"

"Wu Yun, you are so beautiful!"

"..."

"Come on! I'll show you our bedroom."

"Pah! You scoundrel."

"hey-hey……"

Although Liang Wuyun verbally cursed Su Ning for his debauchery and shamelessness, her body language betrayed her, and she obediently let Su Ning pull her into the master bedroom.

……

With Tang Shouyu's introduction, Suning met with President Li.

Mr. Li seemed very satisfied with Su Ning's talent. "Officer Jian, I would like to invite you to work for my company."

"Thank you for your high regard, Mr. Li! But I am determined to become a criminal police officer and have no intention of resigning or changing jobs."

"That's a bit of a pity! I'm still very sincere. If you're willing to come, I'll give you the position of vice president."

"Really, it's not necessary! I know my own capabilities; I really can't support your big business, Mr. Li."

Little did they know that this was all a test by General Manager Li and Tang Lianqing against Suning. After all, Captain Qin and Director Liang's arrangements were really too low-level, treating those tightrope walkers like fools.

However, Suning's repeated rejections left President Li and Tang Lianqing puzzled, as it didn't seem like an undercover agent deliberately arranged by the police.

Following a detailed investigation, it was discovered that Su Ning's current girlfriend was actually Director Liang's daughter, which immediately spurred President Li and Tang Lianqing to become even more eager to win Su Ning over.

Meanwhile, in the office, Suning also began to make things difficult for Zeng Nan.

It turns out that Su Ning had already deduced that Zeng Nan had ulterior motives for approaching him, and now he had seen through her true colors.

"Zeng Nan, what exactly is your purpose in deliberately getting close to me?"

"You've misunderstood! I really didn't."

Zeng Nan tried to argue, but Su Ning saw through her. "Alright! Stop arguing. I saw through your tricks a long time ago."

"..." Zeng Nan didn't know how to respond at this moment.

"Fine! Since you're unwilling to be honest, then let's stop seeing each other from now on."

"..."

Zeng Nan hadn't expected that her scheme would be seen through by Su Ning, so she had no choice but to call Director Liang.

It turns out that Zeng Nan was secretly working for Director Liang. Director Liang secretly arranged for her to get close to Su Ning and lead Su Ning step by step toward his mysterious plan.

Unexpectedly, Su Ning was extremely intelligent and had already recognized the underlying issues.

Zeng Nan then consulted Director Liang, asking whether he should continue to consider Su Ning as a candidate for the secret project.

Director Liang had no doubt about Su Ning's abilities. He repeatedly stated that no one was more suitable for his plans than Su Ning.

……

Su Ning was convinced that he had been secretly assigned to a mysterious mission, which made him very unhappy, and he was already considering resigning.

So he told his girlfriend Liang Wuyun about it, and Liang Wuyun also felt angry.

Liang Wuyun was naturally unwilling for her boyfriend to be an undercover agent. "What? How could Captain Qin be so unreasonable?"

"The person in charge might not be Captain Qin!" However, Su Ning directly pointed out the real player behind the scenes.

"Who is that?" Liang Wuyun looked at Su Ning in surprise.

“Your father is Director Liang.”

"You...you know?" Liang Wuyun didn't expect that Su Ning would find out her identity.

"Hmm, with your rapid promotion, how could I not notice something amiss? For most people, it's already quite good if they can become a full-fledged officer within a year of graduating from police academy, but you went straight to becoming an acting captain."

"Hmph! So you're pursuing me because my dad's the bureau chief?"

"It would be a lie to say there wasn't a reason for that, but I can assure you, the main reason is that I really like you."

"Hmph! Sweet talk." Liang Wuyun was quite satisfied with Su Ning's explanation.

Then Su Ning looked at Liang Wuyun meaningfully and asked, "Wuyun, your father wants me to go undercover. Are you willing?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Liang Wuyun denied it without even thinking. After all, she knew how miserable it was for undercover police officers. "If you become an undercover officer, your life is over. Those undercover scenes in Hong Kong dramas are not just for show. It's extremely difficult to return to the police force."

"So I'm going to quit my job, open a restaurant, and then raise you to be plump and healthy."

"Hmph! Do you think I'm an old sow? But don't be too impatient, I'll talk to my dad for you."

"My old sow, I heard a Western restaurant just opened in the East District. How about we go try it out today?"

"Hmph! You've been buying and renovating houses lately, where would you find the money to waste?"

"I can still afford a meal."

"I still prefer your cooking! I might as well buy steak and cook it at home."

"Fine! I'll hit a home run today." "Pah! You scoundrel."

……

The next day, Su Ning came to the police station and handed a written resignation letter to Captain Qin.

"Team Leader Qin, this is my resignation letter! I feel that I am not up to the task of this job."

At this point, Captain Qin knew he couldn't persuade Su Ning to stay. "You're still a police officer. You need to sort out your work and be a good police officer on your last day."

"understand!"

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Captain Qin, do you think I'm stupid? That I can't see through your scheme?"

"I can not understand what you say."

"Captain Qin, it was you who secretly guided me step by step, getting me closer to Tang Shouyu and President Li, trying to help me successfully infiltrate their criminal circle, right?"

"..."

"Captain Qin, I know you want to send me undercover to Boss Li's office, but I have no intention of taking any risks. I just want to be an ordinary policeman and don't want to think about anything else."

At this moment, Captain Qin criticized him after hearing his words. He looked at Su Ning's nonchalant attitude and said, "Jian Fan, even if you really want to arrange someone to be an undercover agent, you are not cut out to be one."

At the end of the conversation, Captain Qin told Su Ning to go see Director Liang. "Jian Fan, if you really want to resign, you need Director Liang's approval before I can sign the resignation agreement."

"..."

Next, Su Ning went to the office of his cheap father-in-law, Director Liang.

"Director Liang, I'm here to resign! Captain Qin said he needs your approval."

"Jian Fan, I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous mistakes at work."

"..."

"This mission is really important! I hope you won't give up your job as a police officer."

"I'm sorry! I'm a timid person and really can't do dangerous work."

Seeing that his persuasion of Su Ning had failed, Director Liang made one last attempt, "Jian Fan, if you really want to resign, I can't stop you anymore, but I hope that on your last day as a police officer, you can thoroughly investigate the case files of a major case from many years ago. This would be considered as completing a task for the police."

"What kind of big case?"

"You'll understand once you check the case file yourself."

This major case was precisely the real reason why Director Liang arranged for Su Ning to participate in the mysterious mission. He wanted Su Ning to go undercover next to General Manager Li and solve the major case from years ago.

Director Liang is now pinning his hopes on these case files, hoping that Su Ning will repent after reading them and reconsider returning to his position as a police officer.

"Director Liang, I think you should know about my relationship with Liang Wuyun. If something were to happen to me, have you considered how Liang Wuyun would feel?"

"Police officers must not be afraid of sacrifice! Besides, I have great faith in you and believe you will return to the team safely."

"But I lack confidence in myself."

"In this way, as long as you complete this mission and return, the Municipal Bureau will not only promote you exceptionally, but I will also allow you to marry Wu Yun."

"I don't trust you! What if you're not satisfied with me and secretly reveal my undercover identity? Then I'll have no tears left to cry."

"You bastard! Do you really think I'm that worthless?"

After returning to the police station, Su Ning carried a stack of case files from that year and began to read them carefully.

It was only then that Su Ning learned that the Miyang Precinct of the police force had cracked a cultural relic smuggling case years ago. The four cultural relics seized were locked in the police force's evidence room. However, one night the day after tomorrow, all the cultural relics were suddenly stolen, and Zeng Guowei, the head of the evidence room, also disappeared.

This case caused a sensation at the time, but for many years no one has been able to solve it.

Su Ning carefully and responsibly reviewed the case files again and again, which pleased Director Liang and others who were watching.

After reviewing the case file, Director Liang and the others summoned Su Ning again. "So? What are your thoughts on this case?"

"Director Liang, Captain Qin, this is a cold case, extremely difficult to solve. Of those lost cultural relics, only one has come to public attention, and it has already been circulated overseas. It may have changed hands many times in between, making it very difficult for us to find the real suspect."

"..."

During the conversation, Su Ning said, "Actually, most people think that Zeng Guowei, who disappeared, is a criminal suspect, but I think that the person who handled the case of cracking down on cultural relics smuggling at that time is also a suspect."

“That makes sense! But the person who handled it is me right now.” However, Director Liang looked at Su Ning meaningfully and explained.

"Huh? What a coincidence!"

“Actually, Tsang Kwok-wai was my classmate back then, and I have always trusted him and do not believe that he committed the crime.”

"Director Liang, Captain Qin, I've reviewed the case file and believe this is indeed a difficult headless murder case to investigate."

"However, I can see now that even you yourselves don't have any hope of solving this case. You just want to use this as an opportunity to get me to investigate new cases committed by the suspect."

Then, in front of Su Ning, Director Liang recounted Su Ning's numerous acts of bravery and resourcefulness, praising him.

Therefore, Director Liang made Su Ning the final candidate to solve the case and praised Su Ning highly.

Director Liang then stated that he indeed intended to cultivate Suning into a true undercover agent.

But he wouldn't let Su Ning take off his police uniform; in any case, he would promote Su Ning to a higher rank.

This is because it will increase your standing in front of Mr. Li, allowing you to better serve as an undercover agent for him.

Director Liang told Su Ning that when General Manager Li was implicated in the theft of cultural relics, the police conducted numerous investigations but found nothing, and the matter was eventually dropped.

However, four years ago, he and businessman Wang Weimin were involved in a major fundraising case, which brought him back into the sights of our police.

At the end of the conversation, Director Liang felt that he had said everything he needed to say. He left with Captain Qin, wanting Su Ning to think it over carefully. He hoped that Su Ning could make the right choice between leaving the police force and accepting the mission.

Su Ning stayed behind alone and began to ponder deeply.

Just then, Liang Wuyun walked in and said, "Jian Fan, this matter has really been difficult for you."

"You know it too?"

"Well, I've heard about it from my dad. It wouldn't be a big deal if you refused."

"Based on my deduction, Zeng Guowei is not the real criminal suspect. It's just that someone behind the scenes pushed him to the forefront and made him take the blame."

"Do you really think so?"

"What's wrong? You seem very agitated?"

"In fact, Zeng Guowei has another identity; he is Zeng Nan's father."

"No way? This is so melodramatic."

"Zeng Nan has shouldered too much responsibility and pain over the years. Please help her for my sake, okay?"

"Wu Yun, Mr. Li is really shrewd. In fact, he has been constantly testing me. It's not easy to get close to him."

"I believe you will definitely find a way."

"Wu Yun, I've already shown that I have no interest in money, so if you want to get close to President Li, the only options are power and sex. Are you sure you don't mind?"

"This……"

"Wu Yun, this case is really troublesome, and Director Liang and Captain Qin's arrangements were too hasty."

"..."
