Chapter 111 - An Exchange

Du Ming’s cold sweat streamed down his neck.

He quickly denied, “No, I thought she looked rather pitiful. No matter what mistakes her father made, it has nothing to do with her. She’s just a child who doesn’t know anything about the world. I merely wanted to help her, that’s all.”

“Is that so?” Wang Ting looked at Du Ming.

Du Ming nodded. “Yes, she’s now married to the eldest grandson of the Ning family. Even though she’s a little stupid, she’s having a good life.”

“How much do you know about Sleeping Beauty?” Wang Ting asked casually.

Du Ming trembled.

“Sleeping… Sleeping Beauty? I don’t know.” Du Ming forced a smile.

“Oh? You don’t know?” Wang Ting looked visibly surprised.

Du Ming forced himself to be calm.

Wang Ting paced around with his hands behind his back, slowly, and said, “Sleeping Beauty is a poison that drug dealers use to deal with undercover police officers. After being injected, the victims will start having hallucinations. Basically, whatever is asked will be responded with an answer. If their willpower is too strong, the dosage will be increased until they tell the truth. Of course, no one who has been injected will be spared because they have lost their value. We’ve lost god knows how many comrades and officers to this drug. Chief Du, you have been the deputy chief for so many years. Why would you tell me that you don’t know?”

Du Ming smiled and said, “I’m a criminal investigator. I don’t know much about drug enforcement.”

“Is that so? Really?” Wang Ting was amused.

“I only hate that we don’t have the Sleeping Beauty’s injection. I hate that our policy doesn’t allow it. Otherwise, I’ll definitely give those stubborn fellows a shot too. I want them to tell me everything they know. For example, you, Chief Du!”

Wang Ting’s words were very gentle. It was as if he was coaxing a crying child, afraid of scaring him.

But Du Ming could not feel it at all.

His mind whirled fervently but he could find no excuse.

But yet he couldn’t find his mistakes either.

Wang Ting let out a long sigh. “It looks like the young master of the Ning family is more suited to do this!”

He waved his hand and asked that Du Ming be taken away.

Du Ming panicked. “Director Wang, where are you sending me?”

Director Wang smiled. “To where you should go. Fortunately, you have some value left.”

After the person was taken away, Director Li pushed the door open and walked in.

“Director Wang, Ning Chen’s people have already sent the file over. To us, it is priceless.”

Wang Ting nodded and sighed. “How’s Qin Yu?”

“The poison has already been detoxified, although there are still some lingering effects. Ning Chen has agreed to give us the formula of the antidote for free,” Director Li said softly.

Wang Ting nodded. “Tell Ning Chen that we will not ignore Qin Yu. Although there are still some unclear aspects to her father’s matter, in our eyes, he is a martyr. We will not sit idly by and ignore the orphan of a martyr. However, due to certain reasons, our hands are tied, as of now. I hope he understands.”

Director Li was silent. “I didn’t expect that Qin Yu would marry Ning Chen in the end, and that Ning Chen would be willing to stand up for this mentally retarded child.”

“We have to do our best to investigate the mole! We have to set up a special operation to deal with the mole, but the participants must be elites. We can not let the same situation happen again. Do you understand? We can ask Ning Chen for help to investigate the background of these participants. We have to do both. We must ensure that our team is clean!”

“Yes!” Director Li lightly tapped his heel and saluted.

Ning Chen gently wiped Qin Yu’s sweaty face with a towel. Qin Yu bit her lip until it was broken, leaving a bloodstain.

Ning Chen’s heart ached terribly, and the hatred in his heart for those people increased even more.

Qin Yu’s poison had all been extracted from her blood up until today. However, the pain had already caused severe psychological trauma to her. He did not know how long it would take for her to return to normal.

He even began to regret that afternoon when he found out that Shi Xiao had come to look for her, why had he not paid attention? It was only because he knew that she was pretending to be stupid that he had allowed her to do what she wanted, thinking that she would definitely be safe.

In the end, such a huge incident was enough for him to feel regret for the rest of his life.

He gently put down the towel and studied Qin Yu’s face. After a few days of inhuman torture, her chubby chin slimmed down so much it became pointed. He did not know how long it would take for her to recover.

Uncle Wen entered. “Young Master, Wang Ting replied. They have accepted all the conditions and requested that you take good care of Miss Qin Yu.”

Uncle Wen glanced at the sleeping young madam.

Ning Chen sneered. “Hmph! Hypocrite! What were they doing earlier?”
