242 Dispute (2/2)
”I'm not giving in. By what means can Xiao Luo, who committed murder without any impunity, get off scot-free? What is the justice that I have been insisting on all this time? If national security is greater than the sky, does that mean that in the face of national security even murder can be pardoned? In the end, am I feeling prejudiced or have the values of this world been distorted?”
She was shouting so loudly at Fan Changlong that her eyes were red. Meeting with her father was supposed to be a happy occasion, but her father had instantly destroyed the perspective that she had built growing up. If a murderer could be pardoned, what else was there that could not be pardoned?
”Qianlin, don't be like this,” Ye Wenson said. ”We are still representatives of justice. It's just that the NSA belongs to the department of national security and we do not have jurisdiction over them.”
Fan Changlong helplessly sighed. His heart was not able to calm down for two days after letting go of a brutal, murderous guy.
...
Xiao Luo didn't know how long he had been in a coma. When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed. The sunlight shone through the window, which was particularly dazzling.
After his eyes cleared, he saw a middle-aged man with white hair sitting on the stool next to him. He was holding a fruit knife and peeling apples.
”You're awake,” Gu Zhanguo said with a smile.
”You are?”
Xiao Luo was sure that he did not know or recognize this middle-aged man.
”Gu Zhanguo, the highest commander of the National Security Administration, NSA.”
Gu Zhanguo introduced himself in a dignified and poised manner. He smiled and asked, ”What about you? Do I call you Mie, or your name, Xiao Luo?”
When he heard him casually mention the name Mie, Xiao Luo's eyes slightly widened. He connected it back to the time when he contacted Bai Ling. He somehow figured out what was going on. Bai Ling had cracked his IP address and had always been secretly watched by the NSA people, which was how they were able to locate him.
Things were really quite simple, but he could not believe that Bailing was actually Bai Ling.
Bailing… Bai Ling… He should have made the association earlier.
”Director Gu, do you need something from me?” Xiao Luo asked.
”Yes!”
Gu Zhanguo handed the peeled apple to Xiao Luo and smiled before saying, ”I came to Jiangcheng to bail you out!”
”Bail me out?” Xiao Luo asked with surprise.
”That's right, I'm here to bail you out,” Gu Zhang said, affirming what he had already said.
”I killed people,” Xiao Luo reminded him with a playful look. ”I killed a lot of people,”
”I know, but you are Mie!”
Gu Zhanguo's tone became ominous as he said, ”The country needs Bailing, and the country needs you too. With the protection of you and Bailing, only then can the people of China enjoy peace and prosperity.”
