Chapter 234: Chapter 158 Dog Team, Great Achievement!_3

Zhong Yuanlong nodded slightly to Jiang Ning, "You see for yourself, is this not meat?"

The bag in his hand was transparent, and the various types of meat neatly packed inside were clearly visible—even though they were refrigerated, one could distinguish their kind by their color and shape: there was chicken, pig’s trotters, and knuckle meat.

Song Sheng, who was closest to the freezer, glanced at the meat in Zhong Yuanlong’s hand and then looked down into the freezer again.

A cold chill rushed at him as he peered into the packed freezer, which contained many semi-finished dishes similar to the ones in Zhong Yuanlong’s hand, but even more of them were palm-sized ice packs.

However, upon further thought, if Zhong Yuanlong had placed so many ice packs to prevent the dishes from thawing and spoiling, then it made sense.

Just to be cautious, Song Sheng reached into the freezer and rummaged through it. Besides pulling out ice packs, he found bagged semi-finished meats, mainly cooked chicken and pig’s trotters, cured meat, and further down were some handmade dumplings, wontons... These dishes were all semi-prepared, needing only to be heated in the pot or steamed for half an hour before serving.

All these delicious foods, even without seeing Zhong Yuanlong’s mother in person, were enough to let anyone feel her care and concern for Zhong Yuanlong.

Song Sheng withdrew his hand and looked to Jiang Ning, "It’s all food, there isn’t anything else."

Zhong Yuanlong, clutching the bags of dishes, felt his arm go numb, and only relaxed silently when he heard Song Sheng’s voice.

After putting the things back into the freezer and tightly sliding the glass partition shut, Zhong Yuanlong then said to Jiang Ning, "Now that you’ve looked, you know who has been wronged, right?"

The onlooking crowd also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Ah! We really wronged this young man!"

"So what, being wrongly accused is not a loss, he’s getting ten thousand yuan for it."

"I was just chatting with my husband, and he was convinced there was a body in the freezer, saying a dog’s nose is very keen, which really scared me! When I get back, I’m going to smother him!"

Jiang Ning, who had been standing under the eaves, slowly walked up the steps, and everyone thought she was about to give Zhong Yuanlong the money, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ning with the banknotes in hand tapped on the outside of the freezer, "Your freezer is so tall, just now we only looked at the surface, and didn’t even see a third of what’s inside, what about the bottom? What’s being stored there?"

Zhong Yuanlong saw the spot Jiang Ning was pointing at with the banknotes under the brim of his hat, and the expression in his eyes hidden by his black hair suddenly changed.

Just then, the sound of police sirens reached everyone’s ears.

Song Sheng’s colleagues had arrived.

The siren sound grew from distant to near, two motorcycle officers, and a police car with flashing lights came into everyone’s view.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the direction of the police car, except for Zhong Yuanlong, who stood frozen in place, feeling an icy chill enveloping him and a sense of rage about to explode.

He had planned everything so perfectly.

Why had a group of dogs suddenly appeared!

If it weren’t for these dogs, he would have already left this place!

And this woman, what exactly did she know?

Why could she point out the exact location of his mother’s head!

Zhong Yuanlong looked gloomily askance at Jiang Ning, not expecting that she was fixating her gaze upon him.

When she met Zhong Yuanlong’s somber gaze, Jiang Ning wasn’t scared at all. In fact, she looked at him somewhat provocatively, as if to say, "You’re dead meat."

There was no trace of the naïveté that Jiang Ning had shown earlier when she pulled out ten thousand yuan and asked him to open the freezer. Zhong Yuanlong realized in an instant that he had been tricked!

This person had deliberately pretended to be foolish with too much money, offering ten thousand yuan just to get him to open the freezer, then hurried him on the pretense of catching a flight, forcing him to agree in public.

She was setting traps for him step by step, leading him into her snare!

The wailing of police sirens grew louder, and from the corner of his eye, Zhong Yuanlong could already see two police motorcyclists stopping by the roadside, heading toward the crowd...

A flash of hatred swept across Zhong Yuanlong’s eyes, and without a word, he suddenly pulled out a fruit knife from his pocket and stabbed at Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning had purposely pointed out the location of the body just to provoke Zhong Yuanlong. She might have appeared relaxed, but she had been vigilant all along.

For someone bold enough to kill his own mother, it was hard to believe that he didn’t have a weapon on him.

As Zhong Yuanlong made his move, Jiang Ning sidestepped and her backpack, which had been slung over one shoulder, slid down her arm. She swung it forcefully and smacked it right into Zhong Yuanlong’s face.

Though her backpack wasn’t heavy, it was filled with various items: a cellphone, a power bank, and even a thermos...

The intended stab didn’t land, but instead, Zhong Yuanlong was struck in the face by the backpack. Whatever she had in there was as hard as iron, hitting him right on the nose. His nose stung, and he couldn’t help but cry out, his body uncontrollably falling backward.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and tripped him, pinning him to the ground. She then stepped on his hand. The pain made Zhong Yuanlong drop the fruit knife, which Jiang Ning kicked away. She swiftly apprehended and pinned him to the ground with an expert hold.

The incident happened in the blink of an eye; not just the onlookers but even Song Sheng hadn’t had time to react.

It was only after seeing the knife Jiang Ning had kicked away that Song Sheng realized what had happened. He hurried forward to take over from Jiang Ning, swiftly pulled out a pair of silver bracelets from his pocket to present to Zhong Yuanlong, then turned to Jiang Ning, asking anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Jiang Ning shook her head, then pointed to the nearby freezer, "Look, there must be something in there that can’t be exposed to light. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to stab me."

Song Sheng nodded solemnly, "We will definitely thoroughly investigate this."

With that, Song Sheng’s two motorcycle police colleagues quickly approached.

All the while, Jiang Ning had been keeping an eye on the time on her watch. In a hurry, she stuffed the ten thousand yuan into Song Sheng’s hand, "This money is to thank the Dog Team. Please use it to give them an extra meal or maybe build them a shelter!"

The Dog Team had made a significant contribution this time. Her request was not unreasonable, right?

"Don’t look for me; if you want to give thanks, thank the Dog Team! I have to catch a flight now, see you if fate allows."

After speaking, Jiang Ning turned and, with a serpentine move, quickly maneuvered past Song Sheng and his colleagues, nimbly weaving through the onlookers to leave the crowd and meet up with Qi Xingzhou.

She wondered if Qi Xingzhou had been patiently waiting for her all this time.

Surprised by the sudden turn of events, the three movers nearby went weak at the knees. They just took a job; they never expected to get caught up in this mess!!!

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission. Awarded 10 days of life value and 10 Merit Points.]
