Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 456 The Water's a Bit Deep

Whether in his past life or this one, Yu Dazhang is most afraid of hearing news of his colleagues being injured.

He has cooperated with Guoan several times and helped each other privately. He now considers Ye Lin a friend.

"There is no immediate danger to life."

Li Mingzhao on the other end of the phone gave a brief reply:
"You don't need to worry too much."

It's good that everyone is alright... Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.

Before he knew it, his forehead was covered in sweat, indicating that he was truly terrified.

He could tell from his voice that Ye Lin must have been seriously injured this time.

Otherwise, Li Mingzhao wouldn't have used the word "temporarily".

The fact that Ye Lin is not in immediate danger of death indicates that her condition has just stabilized.

"What do you need me to do?" Yu Dazhang asked in a deep voice.

At that moment, he had already decided to help.

Revenge and repaying favors are two different things.

He couldn't stand idly by if his friend was being bullied.

What's more, the other party is an innocent and naive girl.

"Come to me, join my special operations team."

Li Mingzhao seemed to have already thought it through, and said directly:

"Stand here for a few days, and once this is over, if you want to go back, I won't stop you."

He even voiced Yu Dazhang's concerns.

He had already figured it out; what this fat guy feared most was the Beijing Guoan's attempt to keep him.

Everyone says a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown, but this good-for-nothing only wants to stay at home.

"Okay." This time, Yu Dazhang agreed very readily.

"Give me the address, I'll get there as soon as possible."

Now that we've decided to help, we can't procrastinate.

Once Yu Dazhang makes a decision, he will not go back on it.

"Give me your current address," Li Mingzhao said quickly.
"I'll have someone pick you up. Your itinerary needs to be kept secret this time. Also, you don't need to report to the bureau. I'll inform your city bureau later."

Yu Dazhang then gave Li Mingzhao the address of this private restaurant.

After hanging up the phone, he saw Qu Tuotuo staring at him with an unhappy expression.

“A colleague is injured, so I need to go check on him.”

Yu Dazhang could tell at a glance that she was angry, and quickly explained:

“She helped me before, and now that she’s in trouble, I can’t just ignore it.”

He had previously promised Qu Tuotuo that he would no longer go to other places to handle cases.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang thought she was angry about this matter.

"Ye Lin".

Qu Tuotuo said sourly:
"That name sounds so familiar. If I remember correctly, she's your little white flower, and also your favorite widow series."

If I had known, I wouldn't have shared my male pleasures with you... Yu Dazhang suddenly felt that boyfriends and girlfriends shouldn't be too honest with each other.

And couldn't the earpiece on this phone be designed to be more discreet?

In any enclosed room, it's like having a speakerphone on; anyone can hear it.

"You know, she and I are just colleagues."

Yu Dazhang had a clear conscience about this matter, so he could explain it with a straight face:

"Don't worry about it. I'm just going to check on her injuries. If everything is alright, I'll be back soon."

He always believed that Qu Tuotuo was not the kind of person who would make trouble unreasonably.

When Ye Lin was mentioned before, he only gave a brief explanation, and Qu Tuotuo didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, this time she acted completely out of character, not only showing anger on her face but also retorting without any politeness:
"When you heard she was injured, you panicked. Would you have reacted like that if she were just a regular colleague?"

It seems I overreacted a bit… Thinking of this, his tone involuntarily softened:
“She came to visit me when I was injured. Even if it’s just to return the favor, I should go and see her too.”

No matter how intelligent a woman is, she will inevitably overthink when she sees her partner showing excessive concern for other men.

This is especially true for the smarter a woman is.

Except for those born with a cuckold's body.

That's why Yu Dazhang patiently explained.

If Qu Tuotuo wasn't jealous at all, he would think there was something wrong.

"I see."

Qu Tuotuo stood up, looked at him, and said calmly:
"Go find her."

After saying that, she turned and walked out. "Sigh, you..."

Yu Dazhang hurriedly chased after her, but was stopped by the waiter. By the time he finished paying and ran to the door, Qu Tuotuo had already left in a car.

Just as he was hesitating whether to chase after it, a black sedan stopped in front of him.

The car door opened, and a man in a black suit got out of the driver's seat.

"Is this Officer Yu? I've been ordered to pick you up and take you to the airport."

The man's eyes were bright, and although his tone was respectful, it was also cold.

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes.

soldier!

He had been observing the man since he got out of the car.

Judging from the other person's physique and gait, he is an active-duty soldier who has received military training for many years.

He had previously heard that the National Security Bureau had full provincial coverage.

All 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China have established national security departments.

Special offices are selectively established in prefecture-level cities, with a special office dispatched by the provincial national security department.

Therefore, a first-tier city like Songhai will definitely have a national security department.

Moreover, national security agencies across the country are all under the vertical management of the headquarters, and local authorities have no jurisdiction over them.

This shows the special nature of Guoan.

In short: directly under the central government.

Yu Dazhang glanced in the direction Qu Tuotuo had gone, feeling conflicted.

If we chase after them now, it should still be in time.

But what good would it do to catch up?
Since you have already promised Li Mingzhao, you must keep your word.

"Never mind..." Yu Dazhang sighed and got into the back seat of the car.

Twenty minutes later.

"Go by private jet?"

Looking at the small airplane in front of him, Yu Dazhang felt that something was amiss.

This was nothing like the luxurious private jet he had imagined.

"Please understand, this is for confidentiality reasons," the man explained.

Once on the plane, Yu Dazhang discovered that the space inside was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside, and the seats were also quite comfortable.

There were even two flight attendants inside.

Sitting in the comfortable airline seat, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but smile.

This small plane may look unremarkable on the outside, but it has everything inside, which is quite in line with the working style of those within the system.

After the plane took off, Yu Dazhang closed his eyes, focused his attention, and recalled his previous conversation with Li Mingzhao.

There are currently two unclear points:

1. Ye Lin's injuries.

Li Mingzhao only said that Ye Lin had been shot, but was not in immediate danger.

However, it did not specify which part of Ye Lin's body was shot, or how many times she was shot in total.

Qu Tuotuo was present at the time, so he didn't dare to ask.

2. Work content after the past.

Li Mingzhao did say that he would join his special operations team and stand guard for a few days.

Why is it standing guard?

Yu Dazhang believes the most likely scenario is that this mission was a guard duty.

This type of task has a unique characteristic.

The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light!

This isn't fun anymore... Yu Dazhang started to diverge and began to think about things more deeply.

What could the National Security Bureau be guarding if they were to stand guard there?
Or, to put it another way, at what level would the National Security Bureau be mobilized for guard duties?
The water is a bit deep.

I don't know if it's too late to back out now.

About two hours later, the plane landed on the runway.

Then the cabin door opened, and Yu Dazhang looked at the two flight attendants and asked:
"This is where?"

"I don't know," one of the flight attendants replied.

"The destination of this voyage is kept secret, and we do not know where we will land."
