Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 540 Women who are too smart are troublesome

Actually, things are quite clear now.

The main job of the National Security Bureau is to catch spies and agents, so asking him for help must be related to this.

The reason Ying Xuelian was sent to Songhai this time was probably to lure out the spies hiding there.

Something is wrong.

Even if we use her as bait, we can't let her come alone.

The National Security Bureau should at least send someone to follow them.

"As I said before, I asked you to help arrange food and lodging."

Li Mingzhao's answer left Yu Dazhang feeling baffled:

"Most importantly, I want you to help me find a suitable job."

After these words, both sides fell silent.

Yu Dazhang felt his brain wasn't working properly.

Assigning her a job means that Ying Xuelian will be living in Songhai for a long time.

There's no need to do this to catch spies. Even if they were to go undercover, they wouldn't let Ying Xuelian do the job.

After a moment, Yu Dazhang asked:
"Boss, you'd better be frank with me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this."

He dared not accept this job without a clear understanding of what was going on.

So he gave Li Mingzhao two choices.

1. Just tell me the specific situation, and as long as it's within our capabilities, we will definitely do our best to help.

2. If you feel uncomfortable saying it, you can try asking someone else. I'm afraid my abilities are limited and I can't help you with this.

Yu Dazhang had no choice but to do this; if he didn't even have this much self-protection awareness, he would have been played to death long ago.

"You really don't stand to lose out at all."

Li Mingzhao, on the other end, said with a hint of helplessness:
"Actually, this is a bit like house arrest, but this can't be made public."

"Although Ying Xuelian was a spy, after investigation, it was found that she did not betray state secrets and had made significant contributions. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, she was exempted from criminal punishment."

He sighed, and then said:

"But there are still certain risks in simply releasing her back into society."

"You should know that someone like her is a ticking time bomb."

Finally, Li Mingzhao emphasized:

"Therefore, we need to have some understanding of her whereabouts, but we can't monitor her 24 hours a day. It's a bit difficult to strike the right balance."

“After discussions with Ying Xuelian, she is willing to live under your surveillance.”

She's willing, but I'm not... Yu Dazhang thinks this is a problem.

He could guess Ying Xuelian's thoughts.

Rather than being monitored by a stranger, it's better to find someone you know so you can know their background.

This also shows that Ying Xuelian trusts Da Zhang very much.

This trust, however, is a bit heavy.

"Boss, I don't have time to deal with her."

Yu Dazhang protested:

"Sometimes I'm so busy I don't even have time to eat, I really don't have the time or inclination, you should find someone else."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ying Xuelian, who was sitting in the rest area.

He noticed that she was just sitting quietly, looking very indifferent, and wasn't even looking in his direction.

"I don't need you to monitor me."

Li Mingzhao explained:

"Just arrange a suitable job for her, and you don't need to worry about anything else. I will contact you when I need to know about her situation."

"To tell you the truth, she's practically hidden away from you."

He spoke those last words very softly, but they were the ones Yu Dazhang heard most clearly.

"This is a change of identity..." Yu Dazhang immediately made the judgment.

Let Ying Xuelian come to Songhai, change her identity and live a different life, and then I will arrange a job for her.

This would be equivalent to severing all her previous connections.

To those who knew her before, Ying Xuelian had essentially vanished into thin air. But the National Security Bureau could find her anytime they needed her.

What a calculation.

In this way, Ying Xuelian was not only safe and free, but also able to live the ordinary life she had always longed for.

The National Security Bureau has essentially taken control of her life.

They came up with the ideas, but the actual implementation was left to Yu Dazhang.

The most ingenious part is right here.

On the surface, Yu Dazhang has no connection with the National Security Bureau, so even if someone wanted to track Ying Xuelian's whereabouts, they wouldn't think of him.

"Thank you for your trust. I promise I will arrange everything perfectly for her."

Yu Dazhang agreed readily this time, but he still had some concerns:
"Everything else is easy to arrange, but finding a job is a bit difficult. There are very few jobs suitable for her, and I don't know any research institutes or similar organizations."

Networking is essentially about helping each other, and being able to actually help.

Of course, this must be done within the bounds of legality and compliance.

For example, if someone who writes online articles knows the local mayor, that's not considered having connections, because it's completely useless.

But if you know editors or people who invest in adaptations, that's a connection.

Although we do different jobs, we're all in the same circle and can help each other out.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang was actually very willing to help Guoan.

He never knows when he might need their help, and in a way, the National Security Bureau is like a trump card for him.

In a critical moment, a phone call or a shout of "SOS" can truly save a life.

"It doesn't have to be a job related to your major; any clerical job will do."

Li Mingzhao replied very seriously:
"I believe you have a way. We can't interfere in this matter, and we need to prevent anyone from following the clues."

"However, the salary shouldn't be too low. She's a woman, all alone in Songhai, and her livelihood needs to be guaranteed."

His tone revealed a hint of concern.

Yu Dazhang found it a bit awkward; it was the first time he had ever heard Team Leader Li show such concern for someone.

After ending the call, he went to Ying Xuelian and picked up her luggage:
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay temporarily."

On the road.

"sorry to bother you."

Ying Xuelian whispered:
"I thought Team Leader Li had already discussed it with you before I came over. I didn't expect to put you in such a difficult position."

Women who are too smart are a problem… Yu Dazhang sighed helplessly:
"You're overthinking it. No matter what, you taught me knowledge, so you're my teacher. I'm very happy that you came to Songhai."

This wasn't entirely against his conscience; he had considered that if given the opportunity, he would be willing to offer Ying Xuelian some help.

After all, she had taken the knife for him before; if it weren't for her, he might have died that time.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb your life."

Ying Xuelian gazed quietly through the car window at the street scene ahead, and said in a calm tone:
"The reason I chose to come to Songhai is because I had no other choice. Here, at least when I encounter difficulties, I can still have someone to rely on."

Her words revealed a sense of helplessness and bitterness:

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else."

Yu Dazhang didn't say anything, but silently nodded.

If she has to start a new life, she really has no choice.

She had to completely sever ties with her old social circle, and among the people she knew, it seemed that only Yu Dazhang was left who could offer her help.

We arrived at a four-star hotel.

Yu Dazhang carried Ying Xuelian's luggage and went with her to the hotel lobby.

Since we've already promised Li Mingzhao, we can't make the arrangements too shabby.

Just as the two were checking in, a young woman in business attire suddenly walked quickly from the elevator.

The person walked directly up to Yu Dazhang and grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing here?!" Qu Tuotuo glared angrily and questioned him fiercely.

Upon seeing that it was her, Yu Dazhang didn't think much of it and casually replied:

"Bring people to book a room."
