C151 (2/2)
On the phone, Liu Xiaofei's voice sounded urgent, ”Fang Jin? Now, can you come to the branch office immediately? I have something to tell you! ”
”This... ”Fine.” Fang Jin hesitated for a moment, but quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Jin couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself, I really have to work hard. Zhang Qi's case had just been resolved, and something had obviously happened. Otherwise, Liu Xiaofeng wouldn't have called out of the blue and his voice wouldn't have been so urgent.
Shaking his head, Fang Jin tossed these thoughts out of his mind. However, he no longer hesitated and waved to a passing taxi, heading straight for the branch of the National Security Agency in Jiangling City.
The National Security Bureau's branch in Jiangling City was not too far away from Wuhu University.
After half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at the building.
After paying the driver, Fang Jin strode into the building of the National Security Bureau. This wasn't the first time Fang Jin had been here. Although it couldn't be said to be particularly familiar, it wasn't unfamiliar either.
Very quickly, Fang Jin found Liu Xiaofei, who was currently in the office.
Liu Xiaofei was sitting on a chair with a worried look on her face. She was frowning and her head was lowered. No one knew what she was thinking about. When Fang Jin walked into the office, Liu Xiaofei did not notice for a while.
”Sister Liu?” Fang Jin frowned and slowly walked to Liu Xiaofei's side, calling out in a soft voice.
Fang Jin's shout brought Liu Xiaofei back to reality. Shocked, she abruptly lifted her head. Only after seeing Fang Jin's appearance did she heave a sigh of relief.
”So it's Fang Jin, you've finally come. I've been waiting for you for a long time.” Liu Xiaofei said softly.
”Did something happen?” From the looks of it, Sister Liu, you seem to be quite annoyed. ” Fang Jin looked doubtfully at Liu Xiaofei who was sitting on the chair in front of her, asking her in a soft voice.
Since Liu Xiaofei had called Fang Jin over, she naturally wouldn't hide anything from him. Therefore, when she heard Fang Jin's question, Liu Xiaofei nodded and opened her mouth to explain, ”It's like this, Hong Fei went missing.”
”Hong Fei went missing?” Fang Jin's expression couldn't help but change as he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Before, when Hong Fei was leaving, he had told him that the cultivator that he had gone to deal with was definitely not an ordinary cultivator. Back then, when he left, Hong Fei was already prepared to die. He had also instructed him to hope that he could take care of his sister Hong Xiao in the future.
Fang Jin had also agreed, but he had always believed that Hong Fei would definitely not be in any danger. However, today, he could not possibly imagine that something had truly happened to Hong Fei.
He took in a breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. Fang Jin looked at Liu Xiaofei and asked softly, ”Sister Liu, what is going on? Can you tell me everything properly?”
Liu Xiaofei pursed her lips. As far as relationships went, she had been with Hong Fei for many years, so naturally it was much more profound.
”Today, Hong Fei's signal is missing.” Liu Xiaofei explained softly, ”When he left Jiangling City to take part in the mission, he carried a device that constantly sends signals. This device is used to ensure Hong Fei's safety. ”
”Before this, this device was in a very normal state. This also meant that Hong Fei was extremely safe. But today, the signal suddenly fluctuated. In less than half an hour, the signal completely disappeared. This could only mean one thing. Hong Fei's life was in danger. Otherwise, the signal will never go missing. ” Liu Xiaofei said in a deep voice.
Fang Jin went silent for a moment, and then asked, ”What about up there? I believe that the executives of the National Security Agency would not be indifferent to this matter? ”
Liu Xiaofei sighed and shook her head slowly, saying, ”That is not what I know. However, regarding your appointment, it has already been thoroughly completed. ”From today onwards, you will be an official patrol of Jiangling City.”
Hearing Liu Xiaofei's words, Fang Jin couldn't help but be taken aback. Honestly speaking, he hadn't expected the National Security Bureau's appointment.
Currently, Fang Jin was a member of the National Security Agency, but he was merely a prepared patrol. After all, his strength was not very powerful yet. If he wanted to take charge of himself, it would still be somewhat insufficient.
Fang Jin also admitted this point, so he continued to cultivate diligently, hoping that one day he would be able to greatly increase his strength and thus successfully become a patrol.
However, Fang Jin didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Although becoming an official patrol was a good thing, if possible, Fang Jin would rather not become an official patrol, so as to ensure Hong Fei's safety.
Liu Xiaofei didn't know what Fang Jin was thinking at the moment. She continued, ”Now that you have become an official patrol, some of the responsibility will fall on you.”
Liu Xiaofei paused for a moment before continuing, ”There is a huge difference between an official patrol and a preparatory patrol. I believe you must have been prepared in your heart. From today onwards, you will be responsible for everything that happens within the boundaries of Jiangling City. Every December, you have to go to the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Yan Jing to report on your year's work. And if there are any orders for the missions above, you will be required to coordinate with them. ”
Fang Jin didn't say anything as she quietly listened. When Liu Xiaofei finished, Fang Jin nodded, and said: ”Okay, I understand.” ”But, on Hong Fei's side …”
However, before he could finish his words, Liu Xiaofei interrupted him. However, she heard Liu Xiaofei say, ”Regarding Hong Fei, I'm actually more worried than you. However, we are members of the system after all. Everything must be done according to the rules. Since no orders have been issued, we shall remain as we are. ”
