Episode 18: Ling Hongjun was killed during the rescue

Zhou Yingqun couldn’t get anything out of Ling Hongjun for a long time. As soon as Lin Xi fired, Ling Hongjun confessed. Zhou Yingqun is not a fool, and he knows that there must be some inside story that he doesn’t know about, but in the current situation, the case can only be consolidated and handled. Li Yunfei, Lin Xi and Zhou Yingqun went drinking together, and they apologized to Zhou Yingqun.

Zhou Yingqun accepted and was willing to merge the case, but he had one condition, that is, he had full authority to arrange the escort of Ling Hongjun to Nanjing. Originally Lin Xi wanted to persuade him not to wade into this muddy water again, but Zhou Yingqun had already made up his mind. After the wine party was over, Li Yunfei went home. He Xiaoyuan was lying on the bed and was still asleep. As soon as she spoke, Li Yunfei ran to wash his feet.

Lin Xi also returned to his residence. He was angry at Wenhua for playing tricks behind his back. Wenhua said that this was Xing Lixian’s arrangement because Xing Lixian did not want Lin Xi to affect the mission because of Su Nan. Lin Xi admitted to her that he had Su Nan in his heart, but he could still tell the seriousness of the matter clearly. Ever since Wang Muqing met Zhou Yingqun, he had never seen him drink so much.

The reason why Zhou Yingqun drank so much was not only to numb himself, but also to numb others. He was responsible for escorting Ling Hongjun back to Nanjing. As long as this matter was settled, Zhou Yingqun could take Wang Muqing back to Nanjing with his head held high. Lin Xi and Su Nan met in a cafe. He reminded Su Nan to adapt to circumstances when rescuing people. He didn’t know Zhou Yingqun’s specific plan.

Wenhua suddenly appeared and asked Su Nan to go shopping with him to choose a ring. Lin Xi wanted to refuse on behalf of Su Nan and let him do it for him, but Wenhua was firm. When choosing a ring, Wenhua subconsciously refused to let Su Nan touch her hand because her hand had been exposed to guns for many years and had developed thick calluses. Su Nan didn’t laugh at it, but understood it because when she worked in the hospital, her hands were thickly calloused because she often broke medicine bottles.

After choosing the ring, Wenhua asked Lin Xi which ring looked better. Lin Xi nonchalantly asked her to choose the biggest ring, preferably like a light bulb. Later, Lin Xi and Wenhua sent Su Nan home. He couldn’t understand why Wenhua did such a thing today. Wenhua half-joked and half-seriously said it was because he was jealous.

Before getting in the car, Zhou Yingqun agreed to Ling Hongjun’s request and let him take a look at the sun. Wang Muqing escorted Ling Hongjun to the airport. Zhou Yingqun invited Li Yunfei and Lin Xi to have a drink. He said that he had backup plans. If someone wanted to save Ling Hongjun, Wang Muqing would follow his arrangement and beat him up before Ling Hongjun was rescued. Finished. He said this deliberately to test Lin Xi.

Lin Xi immediately became anxious, and Zhou Yingqun also told the truth that he did not let Wang Muqing scare Ling Hongjun to death. At this time, on the way to escort, He Tianming and Su Nan led an ambush to rescue Ling Hongjun, but another group of people came and killed both Wang Muqing and Ling Hongjun. Su Nan watched helplessly as senior Ling Hongjun died in front of her.

This incident soon reached the ears of Zhou Yingqun. He, Li Yunfei, and Lin Xi rushed to the scene and found that the scene was full of corpses, including those of Wang Muqing and Ling Hongjun. The rescue mission failed. Su Nan had to rush home and go to work tomorrow. She could not be suspected. Li Yunfei asked his men to find all the bullet casings at the scene, but not long after, other officers came with General Fan’s warrant to deal with the scene on behalf of Li Yunfei’s people.
