241 Gu Zhanguo (1/2)
The middle-aged man was the highest-ranking NSA commander in NSA—Gu Zhanguo. He was also Gu Qianlin's father.
Fan Changlong quietly let out a sigh of relief. He was in no position to argue with this senior leader. Now that Gu Qianlin was back, Gu Qianlin was able to speak to Gu Zhanguo and the leader of the Interpol Brigade. It was much safer.
”Qianlin!”
Gu Zhanguo immediately put down the cup of tea and got up from the sofa.
Gu Qianlin walked over and asked, ”Dad, what are you doing here?”
”There are some things that I might need Changlong's help with.”
Gu Zhanguo smiled and said, ”Take a look at yourself. You're always so busy with work that you've exhausted yourself so much and lost so much weight. Your mom and I aren't in Jiangcheng, so you've got to learn to take better care of yourself. I'm going to be very upset if you exhaust yourself so much that you fall sick.”
”It's really not as serious as you're making it out to be,” Gu Qianlin replied.
Gu Zhanguo let out a hardy laugh and said, ”There's no need for a girl to work this hard. It's about time you start thinking about your future. Oh right, are you seeing anybody right now? Your mom and I can't wait to have a grandson, so you better put in a little more effort.”
Gu Qianlin's face turned red with embarrassment. She hastily replied, ”Father, we can talk about this sort of stuff when I'm back…”
It did not feel good or seem appropriate to have her father question her about her personal life in front of her leader.
Ye Wensong, who had a crush on her and was constantly chasing after Gu Qianlin, couldn't help but straighten his body and look straight ahead in an attempt to make himself look tougher. He was hoping that Gu Zhanguo would suddenly pay attention to him.
In the end, Gu Zhanguo didn't even look his way. He changed the subject and said, ”Alright, I know you can't rush things like this. It's all dependent on fate. What about that girl Qianxue? She hasn't caused you any trouble lately has she?”
”No, she's pretty alright. Dad, let's talk about family matters like this later. I have some work-related matters that I have to report to Leader Fan.”
Gu Qianlin immediately stopped him and walked forward. She reported to Fan Changlong, ”Leader Fan, Xiao Luo is severely injured. They are taking him to the hospital now to save him. We've done a thorough check on the identity of the girl who was with him. She's a student currently enrolled at Huaye University. Her name is Bai Ling. According to our preliminary assumptions, she is most probably someone Long Sankui captured in order to threaten Xiao Luo.
On top of that, according to the investigations that we have conducted recently, Xiao Luo used to conceal his identity. He attended Huaye while pretending to be a student in order to protect Chu Yunxiong's daughter, Chu Yue. The target of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Corps was Chu Yue, so we can basically confirm that the secret guy who murdered the 17 members of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Corps at Wild Boar Ridge that day was Xiao Luo.”
Fan Changlong glanced at Gu Zhanguo and noticed a change in his facial expression. He nodded his head and said, ”What about the guy who helped the police deal with Black Gun and Hei Qiang at the pier on Sept. 12? He made use of us to wipe out Guo Jianghu and his gang. Can we confirm his identity as well?”
”According to the statement provided to us by one of Guo Jianghu's men, because he injured his leg, he couldn't take part in the operation on the night of Sept. 12. However, what he knew was the reason why Guo Jianghu went there. He wanted to take care of the five people who were disrespectful toward the Dragon Gang. Through an investigation of the city's foreign population, we managed to quickly identify those five people. They are Feng Wuhen, Feng Wubao, Feng Sangui, Feng Banjin, and Feng Butong. They were originally from the Feng Village, which is one of the villages in the Guang Province. They weren't familiar with the place and didn't know anyone when they came to Jiangcheng, so they accidentally came into conflict with the Dragon Gang.”
Since this was one of the cases that he was in charge of, Ye Wensong continued on with the report. ”Right now these five people are on 24-hour duty and are constantly protecting Xiao Luo's younger sister, Xiao Ruyi. Their loyalty toward Xiao Luo is very obvious. On the night of Sept. 12, Guo Jianghu brought a bunch of people to find trouble with them and forced them into an abandoned warehouse.
That was a situation in which they were sure to die, but they somehow managed to escape death. It was all because a mysterious man appeared that the situation was able to be turned around. Looking at all the available evidence, it is without a doubt that the mysterious man was Xiao Luo. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain this level of loyalty they have toward Xiao Luo.”
