Chapter 193 Who Dares Arrest Me? (1/2)
This was also a very elegant stone, which hit Ning Tao hard.
A horde of police rushed up and tried to surround Ning Tao.
Qing Zhui attempted to stop them, but Ning Tao grabbed her hand. “Stay cool.”
“But they are bullying you. I want to…” Qing Zhui didn’t go on. She was so angry that she wanted to kill them, but she was clear that she couldn’t say it out. Having been with Ning Tao for so long, she knew Ning Tao’s personality and his rules. She knew what to do and what not to do.
Ning Tao said matter-of-factly, “Stay right next to me. I’ll take care of it.”
“All right,” Qing Zhui agreed obediently.
“You take care of it?” asked Xin Zhiyu coldly. “You stole my ancestral grave and attacked my mother. I want to see how you, a clinic doctor, handle this!”
“Officer, quick arrest that criminal!” Xue Bao’er couldn’t wait to see Ning Tao handcuffed.
Bai Sheng was about to attack Ning Tao, but the police arrived. In fact, the police weren’t the only reason he stopped attacking Ning Tao right away. He was also a little intimidated by the presence of a man among the guests. As soon as he moved, his enemies were not Ning Tao alone, but also Qing Zhui and the fighting demon. He had no idea the strength of the fighting demon.
The fighting demon was Yin Molan, who had his Blade of Brotherhood hidden in his big windbreaker. He would do anything Ning Tao asked him to do.
The leading officer walked over to Ning Tao with a serious look on his face. “Are you the grave robber? You tried to attack people on purpose! How dare you!” His voice was stern.
Ning Tao raised his finger to point at the wall and said, “Yeah, I’m the grave robber.”
The officer in charge glanced back at the picture, then at Ning Tao again and said, “That’s a smoking gun. Take him away!”
One of the officers took out handcuffs and walked over to Ning Tao, ready to handcuff him.
Ning Tao yelled, “Wait, hear me out.”
The officer in charge gave a sneer. “Surveillance cameras caught you robbing the tomb. Are you trying to quibble?”
“I never meant to quibble, but you don’t have the authority to arrest me,” Ning Tao uttered lightly.
Li Xiaofeng chimed in, “Ning Tao, you’re so arrogant in front of all these people and the police! Do you mean the authority granted by the street office?”
Laughter broke out.
Ning Tao didn’t get angry and calmly continued, “I’m the outside staff for the National Bureau of Special Affairs. I was on a secret assignment with superintendent Jiang, Jiang Hao, of the Special Operations Bureau. The skull in the tomb is linked to an important scientific project. In the botanical garden of Blueprint Biotechnology Company in Shan City, I once fought side by side with superintendent Jiang, killed a hostile agent, rescued dozens of our special forces soldiers. You can confirm these things with a phone call. I’m on a mission. Who’s going to catch me?”
The crowd of police officers was stunned. They thought the task was just to catch a grave robber, whose stolen goods were caught. They thought it was an easy job. To their surprise, the grave robber claimed that he was an outside employee for the National Bureau of Special Affairs, and that he was carrying out the secret task with superintendent Jiang. People with his status was no doubt a hot potato for ordinary policemen like them. Who dare to catch Ning Tao in the situation?
Li Xiaofeng was also stunned. Ning Tao’s status change was so sudden that he was caught off guard. He thought he was fighting a drowning dog, but it was a big crocodile!
Ning Tao added, “One phone call will confirm what I said. You may catch me, but you must know that it is easier to catch me, but it’s hard to release me.”
The officer, who had taken out his handcuffs, looked at the officer in charge, as if asking for his advice.
The officer in charge didn’t know what to do either. Although he had never heard of the National Bureau of Special Affairs, the name sounded so powerful that he couldn’t afford to mess with. Besides, Ning Tao said that he had a secret mission. If he did something wrong, he might ruin his career or even get into trouble!
The hall was quiet, and no one expected this turn of events.
Xin Zhiyu suddenly said, “Ning Tao, is what you said true? How dare you, a clinic doctor, pretend to be an outside employee for the Special Operations Bureau? Show us your letter of appointment. If you can’t show it to us, you’re pretending to be a cop. Your crime will increase!”
Ning Tao raised his hand to point at Xin Zhiyu, and with a note of awe in his voice, he said, “Listen! We’ve lost a dozen soldiers for this research project, but you just destroyed a very important prescription. Is that your family’s ancestral grave? That is the tomb of Zhu Hongyu, the daughter of the third Crown Prince of the Ming dynasty. It has nothing to do with your Xin family! Where did the tomb come from? Dare you say that you did not rob others’ tomb, and then rebuilt it under your ancestral temple according to the original appearance? It was you who robbed the tomb. You’re the one who is a robber but acts like a cop!”
Xin Zhiyu didn’t know how to retort. His eyes moved silently to his mother, Zhu Hongqin.
Zhu Hongqin’s face darkened, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She thought she had set a trap that would fool Ning Tao, but she fell into it.
“That’s all you say, but where’s your evidence? Show us the evidence!” Xue Bao’er seemed anxious to keep things quiet.
“Yes, show us the evidence!” someone echoed.
The leading officer ended his silence. “Only evidence can prove your innocence, Mr. Ning. Please show us the evidence.”
Although he said so, his address to Ning Tao already indicated his attitude.
“I’ll make a call and you’ll get proof,” Ning Tao said, pulling out his phone and deftly dialing Jiang Hao’s number.
A few seconds later, Jiang Hao’s voice came out of the phone, “What day is it? You called me.”
