It was still early in the morning, and there wasn’t many people in the park.

Not far away, there were only two places with CCTVs installed. As long as they avoided them, they would not be exposed.

Xu Man was still jogging by the river. Although he was not old, he looked like he weighed more than 200 pounds, and he seemed to be having a difficult time.

Ning Chen was right. Ever since Xu Man was diagnosed with chronic diabetes, he began jogging every morning. His daughter-in-law had just given birth, and he still wanted to be a grandfather, he did not want to die of illness before he was sixty years old.

Xu Man followed his usual route and jogged along the river. When he reached the small bamboo forest in the park, he would take a short break.

After entering the small bamboo forest, there was a dense forest on both sides. There was a small path in the middle, and not far in front was the resting area of stone tables and stone stools.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other came from the bamboo forest beside him. Then, Xu Man smelled a pungent smell. His mouth and nose were covered by a towel while his hands were bound. He did not have time to struggle and collapsed on the ground.

“Let’s go.” Ning Chen did not expect to succeed so easily. He got his men to carry Xu Man into the car, and they drove off quickly.

When Xu Man woke up, his head was covered by a black cloth bag, and he could not see anything.

He knew that he had been kidnapped.

Although he used to be the captain of the criminal unit in the police force, after so many years, from his current weight and body shape, it could be seen that he had long lost the agility of being a police officer. His reaction speed was also very poor, otherwise, a struggle would’ve ensued when they were kidnapping Xu Man.

Probably seeing that Xu Man had woken up, Ning Chen did not waste any time and gave Uncle Wen a look.

Uncle Wen scooped some cold water from the water tank beside him and splashed it on Xu Man’s face.

Xu Man was frightened.

“Please, don’t kill me. I have money. I’ll give you money. Please let me go…” Xu Man was scared half to death and immediately begged for mercy.

Ning Chen finally understood why this person had accepted the bribe and caused Ning Chen to die of injustice. It was because he was such a greedy and feeble person.

Ning Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He walked up to Xu Man and said coldly, “I don’t want to waste any more time with you. Let me ask you, were you the one who meddled in the matters of Ning Cheng back then?”

Upon hearing Ning Chen’s words, Xu Man’s face suddenly turned pale. However, through the cloth cover, Xu Man’s expression could not be seen clearly. Ning Chen could only see the fat on Xu Man’s body trembling in fear.

“Ning… Ning Wu? Are you one of Ning Wu’s men?” Xu Man subconsciously thought that Ning Chen’s father had come to seek justice for his son.

“You don’t have to care who I am. You only have two options now. Speak,” Ning Chen spoke like the Grim Reaper. “Or die.”

Xu Man was so scared by Ning Chen’s words that he almost peed his pants, he hurriedly pleaded, “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! I was forced to do it. I didn’t know anything. I’m just doing my job… Please let me go…”

Ning Chen and Uncle Wen looked at each other. Then, Uncle Wen said, “Tell us the name of the person behind this and we’ll let you go.”

When Xu Man heard this, he gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time.

If he told them the name of that person, he might not have a good ending, but if he didn’t, these people wouldn’t let him go either. His death would quickly ensued.

In comparison, it was better to save his life first. After he got out, he would call the police. After the police caught these people, he would arrange for them to be taken care of, “secretly.”

Xu Man understood all this and said in a trembling voice, “It’s… It’s Feng Song.”

When they heard this name, Ning Chen and Uncle Wen’s faces immediately changed.

Uncle Wen kicked Xu Man fiercely. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Xu Man cried his eyes out, “I’m not talking nonsense! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have taken such a big risk to do this back then. I still have the records of the money transfer he gave me back then. Although the owner of the house isn’t him, the address is in the capital!”

Xu Man indeed didn’t need to lie about such a life-threatening matter.

Ning Chen’s expression changed once again, and his body swayed slightly.

Uncle Wen was so worried that he wanted to support him. Ning Chen waved his hand and walked out of the room.

“Young Master, if it’s Feng song…”

A tricky matter indeed.

Feng Song hailed from the central office. He couldn’t be affected at all, and there was no evidence to prove that Feng Song was the culprit. Just relying on Xu Man’s confession was far from enough. They needed more direct and irrefutable evidence.

The person behind the scenes was actually such a powerful person.

Why were they chasing after an insignificant police officer?

Ning Chen frowned and asked Uncle Wen to continue interrogating Xu Man.

However, Ning Chen also knew that Xu Man was just a small fry who helped Feng Song cleaned up his mess. He definitely didn’t know much.

However, at least he knew who the big hand that had been hiding behind the scenes all these years was. Ning Chen felt a sense of certainty..
