Chapter 136: Wounds

"That's all I found for the time being. Flash." Putting an end to the already quite concise report, Ling Shucheng glanced at Tang Xianguang, who was sitting on the side, lightly, "Sorry to disturb you." โ
"Huh? It's okay, it's okay. Fingers tapping a meaningless beat on the desk, Ling Peifeng seemed to be distracted for a moment, "This is a very interesting new idea, you can just let it go and investigate." Although many of the people involved have become the past tense engraved on the stone tablet...... But since you have this heart to get to the bottom of things, I'm sure I'll support you as much as possible. โ
"I'll hand over the finishing touches to someone you're more willing to entrust when the time is right." Comprehending the other party's words, Ling Shucheng slowly spit out a sentence with the same vague meaning.
Noticing the faint cyan color in his eyes, Ling Peifeng coughed lightly, and when he spoke again, he had already avoided many sensitive joints: "What's wrong?" Haven't had a good break lately? It's because it's too much work to deal with these trivial matters...... Or is it because of the little girl under your hands? โ
Seeing that Ling Shucheng was still silent with his eyes down, he became more and more excited, and the corners of his eyes, which had already developed several wrinkles of different shades, had a wicked smile that added fuel to the fire, and deliberately teased and said, "You are really honest." She asked you to mention it to me, and you really came to ask me for someone? Don't be so serious, if you don't want to let people go, you have to learn to play stupid when you should play stupid, in short, let's delay it for a while. It's just that you've always been too negotiable, and a lot of unnecessary subtleties will arise. โ
"It's not all because of her ideas, I do need a new assistant by my side." Ling Shucheng can always organize the most serious wording, "A lot of things should indeed be entrusted to the people that the countermeasures team thinks can be trusted, isn't it?" โ
"You're a better talker than you used to be." Ling Peifeng's eyebrows fluttered lively, "This is good." Although you can rest assured, even if you are embarrassed to refuse her directly, I will never agree to release her here. Don't thank me, between father and son, that little bit of ...... in your heart"
โ.โ The ringtone cut into the conversation between them slightly abruptly, Ling Shucheng glanced down, and the finger that originally wanted to hang up directly paused before touching the screen.
"It's okay, you take it. As long as you don't mind us both listening here. Ling Peifeng stretched out a hand and gestured "please".
"Hmm." Ling Shucheng responded, and quickly pinned the headphones.
There are only a handful of people who know that they can dial directly into their son's communication channel. Glancing at Tang Xianguang meaningfully, Ling Peifeng was already ready to eavesdrop.
But no one spoke on the other end of the communication line. Ling Shucheng is an overly patient character. The strange silence remained for more than three seconds, and the slightest smile on Ling Peifeng's face was gradually diluted.
In the background noise, in addition to the high and low mixed with the bitter cry of foul language, there is also a faint sound of a child sobbing in a low voice.
"Yuan Sui?" Ling Shucheng finally frowned and shouted.
"I-" I struggled to squeeze out a single word and choked up again, and the other party's voice was as hoarse as if I had suddenly caught a severe cold, as if I could scrape the piercing blood from my throat at any time. The faintly shivering gasp was carefully captured by the headset, as if it were the sound of wind mixed into the ears.
"What's wrong with you?" With a rare hint of urging, Ling Shucheng simply turned his head neatly, and quickly got up and walked to the door without even leaving a perfunctory greeting, "Where are you?" โ
Tang Xianguang watched this always calm junior almost hurriedly slam the door and walk away, and couldn't help but turn around and ask an old acquaintance behind him who also had a strange expression: "Is something wrong?" โ
The hands folded into fists supported the cold head, and Ling Peifeng's eyes lit up slightly: "How many people can be freed up on the police side now?" โ
-
An hour ago, a group of offices not far apart.
Ni Guangjie wiped a handful of sweat from his head, raised his head from the mountains of documents piled up on the desk, saluted Kong Zhongsi who had just entered the door crookedly as a greeting, and said jokingly: "Hello team leader!" Are you back from the inspection work with the prince? โ
"Don't talk nonsense. 35xs" Kong Zhongsi glared at him, quickly refocused on the difficult work in front of him, and complained in a low voice after a long sigh, "Yes, let alone vacation, it seems that it has been difficult to get a good night's sleep recently." โ
"Who's to say it isn't. Team Leader Ling actually has the leisure to waste time tracking down some things. โ
"Just do our own thing." Kong Zhongsi took the water cup handed by the other party, drank it all in one gulp, and took a breath before flicking it lightly on the forehead of his subordinate, who had always been straightforward and fast-talking, "Why do you seem to have a big opinion of Su Cheng?" Coincidentally, this time, he just needs your favor. โ
"Okay, he's spoken, I don't dare to disobey a shrimp soldier and crab." Ni Guangjie's appearance is completely incompatible with the description of "forty-year-old middle-aged man", and when he squints his eyes and laughs evilly, he still has a natural cordiality, as if he has not been able to erase his youthful heart for most of his life, which makes people feel good unconsciously when they see it.
"Anyway, you are also a person under me, a member of a group, how can you claim to be a shrimp soldier and crab general." Kong Zhongsi felt quite amused, and was about to talk to him more, but he heard a prompt sound of receiving a new message.
For fear that something big would happen to this busy joint where his feet did not touch the ground, he almost hurriedly put down the water cup in his hand, clicked on the ID screen to see, but there was nothing.
"Oh, isn't it yours?" Kong Zhongsi reacted.
"Huh?" Ni Guangjie folded the documents scattered into a small sand dune a little roughly, and calmly slashed the screen, only frowning slightly.
"Got it." A steady stream of new information is pouring in. Without a trace, he glanced at the team leader, who was clutching a stack of reports with a sad face, and turned it to silent mode.
The former member of the sixth group who worked with Jiang is now renamed Huang Shi, and even his face has been micro-plasticized, and he has not been in contact with his former colleagues for more than ten years since he was removed. His wife hiccups half a year ago because of some terminal cancer, and his wife died a few years ago, and now she lives with her daughter. โ
"Where?" Ni Guangjie briefly typed down a few words.
โxiii-g-11-5ใ He now works for a ship's caravan. โ
Noticing that a rather infectious smile appeared on the other party's face again, Kong Zhongsi slapped the paper in his hand in front of him and asked, "What's the good thing?" Laugh like this. โ
"Alas, the wedding anniversary is coming in a few days, and my wife is urging gifts." Ni Guangjie touched his mouth up and down, and told a boundless lie very smoothly.
"Oh, congratulations. It's not possible to take you off work lately, though. Kong Zhongsi fanned himself, "Can you still laugh?" โ
"That's why I'm happy." Fingers crackled and pressed a string of long sentences, Ni Guangjie whistled in his mouth, "It's much more comfortable to deal with buying a gift than to go shopping with her for a day because you have time." Seriously, I'd rather work overtime than answer the question of which of two similar-looking dresses looks better. โ
"Be careful when I tell your wife!" Kong Zhongsi didn't raise his eyelids, and then brushed the pen on the document.
Confirming that the other party did not pay too much attention to himself, Ni Guangjie continued to commit crimes against the wind.
"Go and find out about this caravan. It just so happens that two of the three team leaders at the police station have been seriously injured in the past few days, and the manpower can't be deployed at all. โ
"Okay. However, the other party is also a person who has been in the army, and it is estimated that all kinds of methods of extorting confessions will be difficult to work. โ
"Who said he was fished out first in order to extract a confession from him like that?" Ni Guangjie typed quickly, "Idiot, doesn't he still have a daughter?" โ
The temperature of the air conditioner in the room seems to be a little too low. Kong Zhongsi sneezed a few times, beckoned to his team member, and urged: "Okay, don't you and me, come and help do something serious." โ
"Okay." Hearing a relaxed answer, Kong Zhongsi, who was facing away from him, did not see the eyes of the team members who had worked together for many years behind him.
It's like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

The knock on the door disturbed the big and small who were scrambling to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Yuan Sui stopped his right hand, which was diligently wiping the grease stains on the table, and looked at the little girl who was washing dishes with a large apron that was mopping the floor.
"Could it be that Daddy is back?" The little girl's eyes lit up, and her tone was full of surprise.
"No, it's only been less than twenty minutes." Yuan Sui put his greasy hand under the faucet and rinsed it briefly, "Maybe something I forgot to take...... Eh, you're stepping on a stool, don't move, I'll open the door. โ
Helping the little girl who was about to fall off the small bench used for heightening, Yuan Sui couldn't help but smile and rubbed it on the top of her head with his relatively clean hand. Simple pleasures are the most contagious, and she walked briskly to the door, humming a song and turning the lock.
The door, which had just been pushed out of a gap by her, was suddenly completely opened by a strong force outward. After looking at a group of men she didn't know for a moment, all the leisurely look on Yuan Sui's face froze in the moment when she saw the knives in the hands of these people.
Subconsciously turned sideways and tied back the little girl who had just jumped out of the kitchen with a rope. Almost as far as her face was touched, the first slash was made against her arm, leaving a wound at least ten centimeters long.
The tall enemy quickly crossed the almost negligible line of defense. The crowd that rushed in almost pushed Yuan Sui to the door.
Just a moment later, someone in the team suddenly fell to the ground clutching his lower body and screaming in pain. The new blade paused for a moment before clinging to the cheek of the young girl with blood on her hands, and then, against the will of the bruised hands, turned around and plunged into her originally high-spirited master, pulled by countless threads.
The immature scream shattered the last awake nerve in Yuan Sui's brain. The blade swung at her in slow motion, and with her extraordinary reflexes, she grabbed a childish metal ornament with her backhand and smashed it into the opponent's eye socket.
