Chapter 1039: Saving The Little Girl

Beijing, at a seemingly ordinary building.

Soldiers in camouflage uniforms and armed with rifles were standing guard, while many men and women with solemn expressions came in and out with documents. Inside the innermost room, two rows of LCD screens displayed various patterns and data with many people stroking the keyboards in front of them and occasionally engaging in conversations.

Wei Changsheng was sitting on the sofa in the corner while quietly reading the information in his hand. As one of the heads of the intelligence department, the recent troublesome case had caused him quite a headache. Even though most of the Fan Family members were now under custody, the progress of the interrogations was very difficult.

“Chief.”

A burly man came towards him in big strides. On his cold face was a bit of a helpless look, and his voice seemed a bit different.

“What’s up?” asked Wei Changsheng as he looked up and frowned.

“That girl has been crying for a day and hasn’t touched any food and drink. She doesn’t have any sleep either,” said the burly man helplessly. “What should we do? Should we just send her to the detention center, or…”

At his report, Wei Changsheng slammed the documents in his hand on the table and yelled, “If it wasn’t for that wench, the major case in the capital wouldn’t have been exposed! No matter how it looks, I’ll never believe that such a coincidence can happen in the world. There’s no way she can be at such an excellent position when the Fan clansmen committed the massacre in the downtown area.”

“We’ve checked out everything. She hails from an ordinary family and her profession is an anchor of a live broadcast platform, no less. I believe you’re also crystal clear with our interrogation methods, Chief. It’s simply impossible for her to hide any secrets with her personality.” The big man said, “It’s very likely that she was at the spot by chance and began her live broadcast directly.”

“I don’t give a fuck about that!” Wei Changsheng angrily said, “Even if she was there by chance, we must still detain her! This is a big and sensational case, and yet she spread it out on the Internet! Do you know how much impact and troubles she has caused us? Later on, I’ll assign some people to scrutinize all those broadcasting platforms carefully, and block them if there are any violations!”

“About that…”

The big man hesitated and finally nodded with a bitter smile. The Chief’s command in this place held much more say than even the Heaven’s. It was useless to argue with him since he had already made up his mind. If there was somebody to blame, it was that wench herself. Broadcasting many things were not wrong, but why must she broadcast such a serious case on the Internet? One must know that even the state had blocked news of this case, yet she just planted the bomb and pushed it up to cause such a big mess.

Suddenly, the intercom in the big man’s hand rang. A voice of a soldier who was in charge to block the road was then heard. “Captain, we got a comrade requesting to see to Chief Wei.”

The stalwart man was stunned. He glanced at Wei Changsheng and asked, “Which comrade?”

“He claims to be Tang Xiu and he has a credential of our Security Department.”

“Tang Xiu?” The man slightly furrowed his brows since the name sounded familiar to him.

Wei Changsheng, who was still sitting on the sofa, looked surprised. He immediately got up and said, “Our great hero turns out to be here! He belongs to our department, but it’s his first time reporting here. Let him in.”

“Understood!”

After five-odd minutes, Tang Xiu came into the backyard of the quadrangle building. As he saw Wei Changsheng greet him with a beaming face and extended his hand cordially, he let out a smile and said, “You’re Chief Wei, right? Tang Xiu is reporting to you.”

“I’ve long heard about you, Tang Xiu.” We Changsheng chuckled and said, “I know all members of our security department, but you’re the only one I’m not acquainted with.”

“Well, Chief Wei must forgive me about that.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “I have too many things at hand, so that’s why I’ve never reported here.”

“A man with great talent and abilities in the country such as you must be very busy. Let’s spare the small talk, shall we? It’s great that you can come here at this time.” Wei Changsheng laughed and said again, “Anyways, it was very fortunate that you were present when that big case occurred, though. I already learned from our superiors that it was your men that dealt with those murderers, right? That’s great. You all deserve to be the people of our security department!”

“That’s pretty much overpraising, Chief Wei. It’s nothing but my duty and responsibility,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“No arrogance and modest without being servile. That’s great,” said Wei Changsheng with a nod. “Anyways, Tang Xiu. If memory serves, today is the 80th birthday of Elderly Tang, right? I got too many things at hand recently, so I can’t attend and congratulate Senior Tang in person. I can only assign some men to send my regards. Well, why did you come here today though? Is there something else you have in mind?”

“Frankly speaking, I have two main purposes in coming here today, Chief Wei,” replied Tang Xiu smilingly. “Firstly, is to meet you and report to you. Secondly, is about that rash girl. I hope you can give her some leniency. I’ll educate her well so she won’t cause such trouble ever again.”

Wei Changsheng stared blankly for a moment before he instantly understood the purpose of Tang Xiu’s arrival today. Still, there was a bit of a strange look on his face as he inquired, “You know this Tian Xiaomeng lass?”
