Chapter 257 – The Oracle (2/2)
Instantly, Wan Er who stood on the side blushed a deep red without saying a word.
I coughed and stuffed the piece of cloth into my pocket, “Don’t mind it….”
Li Tian Nan straightened his back, his expression serious. In a heavy voice, he said, “Everyone here, leave. Li Xiao Yao, Wang Xin, and Wan Er, stay; I have things to tell you. Bring that person down and don’t let him commit suicide; he needs to be thoroughly interrogated.”
Wang Xin nodded.
Soon, a group of people walked out. The bathroom door was also closed, leaving just the four of us inside.
There was a depressing atmosphere hanging in the air as Wan Er looked at my arm again. Pursing her red lips together, it looked like she was about to say something before changing her mind. She probably didn’t know what to say to improve the mood, since it felt like it had froze over.
……
“Officer Wang, what do you think?” Lin Tian Nan muttered, “These people aren’t Chinese, from their physical appearances, it seems they are from Nan Mei. For the Mei Guo Secret Service to have interest in my daughter, what are they planning? You’re familiar with the National Security Agency and even have access to their resources to the point of knowing more than they do. What are your thoughts on this?”
“If I’m not wrong about this then…” Wang Xin exhaled, “These people didn’t want to kill Wan Er, they wanted to kidnap and use her as a hostage so you would hand over the ‘Oracle System’”
“The Oracle?” Lin Tian Nan clenched his hands, “The Mei Guo people want my Oracle?”
“That’s correct…”
Wang Xin continued, “I’ve seen the information and even checked with the high levels of the government…”
I lifted my head, “Captain Wang, hold on, what’s Oracle ?”
“The world’s first global defensive system. It’s similar to the Aegis combat system…” Wang Xin looked at me with a serious expression, “The Oracle system is highly classified by the Tian Xin Corporation and was only created after 7 years of research. In terms of strength, the Oracle system beats the Aegis system, so that’s why the Mei Guo people urgently want it…”
TL:
Lin Tian Nan gnashed at his teeth, “That’s why they want the Oracle?”
Wang Xin nodded, “The Oracle system is being reallocated on a warship from Shandong and another warship from Zhejiang by aircraft. As well as being protected by a cruiser of the Corvette class. The system has been fully encrypted and only Lin Tian Nan knows the secret code to it. So if my guess isn’t wrong, they are trying to get the encryption code…”
Wan Er’s eyes reddened, “Just for the sake of the Oracle, they almost killed Li Xiao Yao….”
Lin Tian Nan dotingly looked at his daughter and said, “As long as you are fine, then I can relax. It seems Li Xiao Yao that brat is really quite good. He was able to fight two gun-carrying highly-experienced special agents and get away with only a light injury….”
“No….” Wan Er said in a slightly grieved tone, “If it wasn’t for the sake of saving me, he wouldn’t have been injured at all…..”
Wang Xin replied, “Whatever, fortunately it’s only a light wound. Otherwise, it might have affected his next actions. Li Xiao Yao is currently the backbone of our police force’s special operations group; he definitely cannot be lost. Do you understand this, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Tian Nan chuckled, “I understand. Relax, he’s an expert at the pinnacle of Royal Air. Truthfully, injuring him would be very difficult. The Mei Guo Ren would never in a million years imagine that China’s martial arts could be so powerful. Moreover, they would never imagine that an expert that has extremely powerful martial arts would be protecting Wan Er.”
Wang Xin laughed, “Do you still want to bring up the request about replacing Li Xiao Yao?”
“No…no need…..” Lin Tian Nan laughed, “Wan Er, I will send you back and at the same time, buy some delicious things for you to eat to help relieve you from your scare….”
However, Wan Er shook her head, “No, first escort Li Xiao Yao to the hospital!”
Quite moved by this, I lightly laughed, “There’s no need, Wan Er. This type of wound will be fine if I treat it myself; there’s no need to go to the hospital. I don’t want this to go public either. It’s obvious at first glance that it’s a gun wound, and the hospital will investigate it strictly.”
“Fine…”
……
After exiting, Fei Er was found waiting at the side of the building, her face pale, “Li Xiao Yao, Lin Wan Er…our interview still has around 40% left to complete. Should we finish it next time?
“No need, we’ll just finish it today!” I said.
Wan Er asked me, “Are you still ok?”
“Yea.”
“However, your clothes’ sleeve is ripped….”
“No problem. I’ll face sideways during the interview or I can just wear another shirt….”
“Ok….” Wan Er pursed her red lips, “Later when we return, I’ll help buy you a set of clothes. Just count it as a compensation….”
I nodded, “Sure.”
Lin Tian Nan looked at me, and after pondering for a bit, he said, “The incident this time was handled by Li Xiao Yao extremely decisively. How about this: I will enter 100,000RMB into your card as the reward for resolving this matter. I must thank you for doing your utmost to protect Wan Er!”
“Thanks Boss!”
“You’re welcome….”
