Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  Gao Peng is actually quite young, just over thirty years old. At his age, being the captain of the criminal police team is not bad at all. In fact, Ning Fan has a pretty good impression of Gao Peng. Although Gao Peng looks ordinary, he is actually very capable. In Ning Fan's eyes, Gao Peng is one of the few truly capable people in the municipal police bureau.

  Looking at Zhang Qiang beside Gao Peng, Ning Fan felt a little sorry for Gao Peng. Gao Peng's wife looked good, but it was unknown how she got mixed up with Zhang Qiang. What's more, Gao Peng still didn't know until now and even treated Zhang Qiang as his confidant. Perhaps this is what they call "darkness under the light". Many people always fail to see what's happening right under their noses.

  "Captain Gao, may I ask, who am I suspected of murdering?" Ning Fan seemed very calm, almost a kind of instinctive premonition, he felt that this was likely another case of Chen Zixuan secretly manipulating things.

  "You killed who, you should be clearer yourself." Gao Peng sneered, "Now, we need to search your residence. I hope you don't obstruct us, otherwise, we will take compulsory measures against you."

  "Alright, you can search, but I need to wake Yezi up first. Can you wait for a moment?" Ning Fan remained calm.

  "You have three minutes." Gao Peng said coldly.

  Ning Fan didn't say another word, turned around and quickly entered the house, swiftly arrived at the second floor, knocked on Ye Zi's door: "Ye Zi, hurry up and get dressed and get out of bed!"

  "Uncle, what's wrong? I was still sleeping." Yezi's voice sounded a bit drowsy.

  "Yèzi, get up quickly, the police are here." Ning Fan urged.

  "What? Oh, okay, uncle, I'll get up right away." Yezi finally woke up.

  Ning Fan quickly turned around and ran into his bedroom, opened the metal box, took out the stone, then closed the box. But in the next second, he immediately opened the box again, took out the key that Lao Dao gave him, and walked out of the bedroom.

  Soon, Ye Zi, who had tidied up his somewhat disheveled hair and was now neatly dressed, walked out: "Uncle, what's going on? Why are the police here?"

  "They say I'm suspected of murder and want to search the villa." Ning Fan said simply, "Let's go down. They have a search warrant. We can't stop them."

  "What? Are they trying to frame Uncle?" Yezi said with some indignation.

  Ning Fan didn't say a word, but Gao Peng had already led his men in.

  "Search carefully for me, don't let any place go unchecked." Gao Peng ordered.

  "Captain Gao, search thoroughly, but I hope you won't overdo it and damage things here." Ning Fan said calmly, while intentionally glancing at Zhang Qiang.

  Zhang Qiang's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and then he forced a smile: "Peng Ge, after all, we're colleagues, let's give him some face, otherwise we'll be laughed at by other departments."

  "Ning Fan, as long as you cooperate, we naturally won't intentionally damage your things." Gao Peng snorted, then waved his hand, "Begin the search!"

  Including Zhang Qiang, the other five police officers immediately dispersed and began to search every inch of the villa. Fortunately, they were still conducting a normal search and did not intentionally make things difficult for Ning Fan. However, Ye Zi was still unhappy and glared at Gao Peng with a look that seemed like he wanted to go over and beat him up.

  Gao Peng kept staring at Ning Fan, one hand still resting on his waist, where a handgun was holstered. Clearly, Gao Peng was watching Ning Fan, worried that he would make a run for it.

  Ning Fan was very calm, sitting on the sofa, patiently waiting for him. He also cooperated very well, several times when the lock needed to be opened, he went himself or let Yezi go, and even when his password box was found, he went to open it too.

  The search lasted for more than an hour, and Ning Fan gradually became convinced that these people were not looking for a murder weapon or something like that, but for something else.

  "No one found." Everyone finished searching and went downstairs to report.

  "Bring the computer back to the office for inspection." Gao Peng's face was somewhat gloomy.

  Soon, two laptops were taken down, one was Ning Fan's and the other was Ye Zi's, which made Ye Zi even more dissatisfied, and she glared at Gao Peng fiercely again.

  "Come on, now come with us to the police station!" Gao Peng looked at Ning Fan, "Both of you, go!"

  "No problem." Ning Fan remained cooperative. In fact, if Ye Zi were left alone here, he would be even more worried.

  Ning Fan stood up, pulling Yezi towards the outside of the villa, while Gao Peng naturally followed closely behind. To say that Gao Peng didn't particularly target Ning Fan, at least he didn't put handcuffs on him, of course, this was also because Ning Fan had been very cooperative.

  As she walked out of the villa, Ye Rou and the long-legged beauty also happened to be walking out from the opposite direction. At this moment, Ye Rou was naturally wearing her usual conservative lady suit.

  Ning Fan looked at Ye Rou, and found that Ye Rou was also looking at her. From her expression, it was clear that she was gloating. Her mouth moved slightly, although no sound came out, but from the shape of her lips, it seemed to be the words "serves you right".

  "Captain Gao, aren't you going to greet Mayor Ye?" Ning Fan suddenly spoke up.

  Gao Peng also saw Ye Rou at this moment, and he was naturally impressed by the beautiful and extraordinary beauty of the female mayor. Since Ning Fan said so, he naturally had to go forward to greet her.

  "Hello, Mayor Ye, do you live here?" Gao Peng hastily walked over, but in his heart he was somewhat surprised. This beautiful female mayor actually openly lived in such a luxurious villa, was she too naive or did she have a strong background?

  Ye Rou hadn't spoken yet, but Ning Fan suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Ye Rou with a gentle expression: "Don't worry, I'm just going to record a statement."

  Ning Fan's words came out, and Gao Peng was suddenly somewhat perplexed. How come this guy spoke to Mayor Ye with such a strange tone?

  Ye Rou's beautiful eyes also flashed a hint of surprise, what was this rogue saying?

  Just as she was about to utter the words "nervous breakdown", Ning Fan suddenly sprang into action, appearing in front of Ye Rou with a ghostly speed, his hands wrapping around her waist, and his lips moving towards hers as if he was going to kiss her.

  This sudden attack made Ye Rou completely unable to react, and the long-legged beauty was about to take action, but suddenly discovered that Ning Fan had put something quickly into Ye Rou's pocket while hugging her.

  "Help me keep these two things safe, and I'll tell you about Liu Daochang later." Ning Fang whispered quickly in Ye Rou's ear, then gave her a quick peck on the cheek before releasing her and raising his voice, "I'll call you later."

  Taking advantage of Ye Rou's daze, Ning Fan quickly walked towards the police car and voluntarily got in. Gao Peng was stunned for a moment, while Zhang Qiang and several other policemen were also taken aback. Especially Zhang Qiang, who felt as if he had been trampled by millions of horses - this little white face had actually hooked up with the beautiful Mayor?

  "Mayor Ye, let's head back to the police station first." Gao Peng said hastily, feeling a bit uneasy, and then quickly left, because he sensed that Mayor Ye seemed to be very angry, was it because he had arrested her boyfriend?

  It's still safer to leave first anyway.

  The police car quickly left, and through the window, Ning Fan looked at Ye Rou's face that was about to explode in anger. In his heart, he had a strange sense of pleasure. All day being called a rascal by that weirdo, this time he actually did something like a rascal.

  "Uncle, you're too flirtatious!" Yezi exclaimed at this time.

  Ning Fan awkwardly smiled and didn't explain anything, nor could he explain. He couldn't possibly say in front of Gao Peng that he had just hidden some things at Ye Rou's place, could he?

  Ning Fan had no choice but to make this decision. He was almost certain that once he arrived at the police station, someone would search him, and at this time, he couldn't find anyone else reliable. Although he thought Ye Rou was an unreliable weirdo, he believed that in order to get Old Dao's news, Ye Rou would take good care of the key and stone for him.

  "Damn it!" Seeing the police car disappear from view, Ye Rou finally gritted her teeth and cursed, while also taking out a key and a stone from her pocket and handing them to the long-legged beauty, "Check what this thing is."

  At this moment, in the police car, Gao Peng finally couldn't help but speak up: "Ning Fan, you're quite familiar with Mayor Ye?"

  "Uncle is definitely not familiar with that annoying woman!" Yezi said indignantly.

  "Yèzi said nothing wrong, I'm not familiar with her." Ning Fan smiled faintly.

  Zhang Qiang thought to himself, "Is this guy trying to fool a ghost? They're hugging and kissing in public, aren't they familiar enough? Do they have to be caught in bed together to be considered familiar?"

  "I heard Mayor Ye is from the provincial capital. A deputy mayor as young as him is quite rare." Gao Peng said tentatively.

  Gao Peng had looked through Ye Rou's basic information, and the information showed that Ye Rou was only twenty-five years old. Although Qingyun City was just a county-level city, it was a province directly under the control of the provincial government, so its status was relatively special. To become the deputy mayor at the age of twenty-five was absolutely unusual. If one were to say that Ye Rou didn't have a powerful background, probably not many people would believe it.

  "It's not often seen." Ning Fang casually responded with a sentence, but in fact he had no idea how old Ye Rou was. Although she looked like she should be over twenty years old, specifically what year, it couldn't be discerned.

  "Of course, a genius like Mayor Ye, becoming mayor at 25 is normal. After all, she graduated with a PhD at 18. If she hadn't taken the civil service exam until she was 20, who knows, maybe by now she could have dropped the 'vice' from her title." Gao Peng spoke up again, clearly trying to get Ning Fan to say something, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Ning Fan had just found out that Ye Rou was actually a so-called genius beauty.

  PhD at 18?

  "No wonder it's so bizarre, it turns out that at the age of 18, Ye Ruo was already a master of extinction." Ning Fan muttered to himself, listening to Gao Peng still talking non-stop about Ye Ruo's information. He finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Captain Gao, can you now tell me who I'm suspected of murdering?"

  Ning Fan wasn't particularly interested in Ye Rou's weird iceberg, he just wanted to know who else had been harmed.

  "I hope there won't be a second Bai Min." Ning Fan thought to himself.
