“No!” Li Jing said as she glanced coldly at Cui Lizhu. “I had already reported the situation and had requested that Secret Services take the case from the Special Investigation Group. But for reasons unknown to , my application was rejected, and the higher authorities insisted on letting Zhao Yu continue with the investigation. They didn’t even bother to provide any justification! As a result, I am now in an awkward situation. My only option is to remain in this unprofessional Special Investigation Group, unable to reveal who I truly am!”
“I was furious, and complained to Xiao Hang out of frustration,” Li Jing explained. “I didn’t expect him to be so reckless and get soone to kidnap Cui Lizhu! He had intended to take advantage of the discretion and priority that Secret Services possessed, to get ahead of the investigation make Cui Lizhu talk! As long as Cui Lizhu spoke the truth, there would no longer be any need for the Special Investigation Group...”
“But he was too reckless and hasty!” she continued. “I was still trying to get a handle on the situation! Besides, if we were unable to get anything out of Cui Lizhu, we would have been placed into a disadvantageous position! Therefore, I quickly called Xiao Hang, reprimanded him, and demanded that he release her!”
Oh... Zhao Yu thought. As if in response, Xiao Hang regained consciousness for the second ti. “Then...” Zhao Yu gestured to the agents. “Their provocation was your idea, right?”
“Of course!” Li Jing nodded without any hesitation. “Xiao Hang ssed up my plans when he kidnapped Cui Lizhu! As a result, you guys were distracted from the task at hand, instead devoting your effort and resources toward searching for the supposed kidnappers. I knew that Xiao Hang was responsible for ticulously planning the kidnapping of Cui Lizhu, and that Zhao Yu was a master sleuth. At that rate, it was only a matter of ti before my plans would have unraveled! That’s why I decided to just play along with it, so that all my problems could be resolved once and for all!”
“Huh! You’re indeed vicious!” Zhao Yu said. He understood what Li Jing was getting at. “What you referred to as ‘all your problems’– you clearly ant !”
“Yes!” Li Jing nodded. “You’re smart! You’re right, getting you out of the way was the only way I could continue with my plans!”
“That ans what I’ve guessed so far is all correct!” Zhao Yu said. “You intended for Xiao Hang to use Cui Lizhu as an excuse to provoke . Your main purpose was to anger , and to make
confront the Secret Service team! This way, I would make a mistake and be transferred out of the Special Investigation Group, making things easier for you!”
“And you acting so righteous was done solely to gain the trust of the other team mbers so that after I had been transferred away, you could easily take over the entire Special Investigation Group. Then you could slowly work your magic on Cui Lizhu, right?” Zhao Yu smiled and nodded as he spoke. “What a way to kill three birds with one stone.”
“Team Leader Li is indeed a good actress! You pretend to be ek & feeble, haha... when in fact you are a wolf in a sheep’s clothing! I, Zhao Yu, have underestimated you!” he said.
“No! As a matter of fact, I was over-confident and too complacent!” Li Jing said seriously. “I made so errors while examining the intelligence I had collected and failed to fully analyze the data. This is where I ssed up! Had I been more cautious, I wouldn’t have let Xiao Hang engage with you physically!”
“Hmm... why is that?” Zhao Yu asked, scratching his head.
“The database says you’re rely an ordinary police academy graduate and that you haven’t been on the front line for long!” Li Jing explained. “mbers of the Secret Service are all professional special agents who underwent rigorous training, so theoretically speaking, there is no way you would have been able to defeat them!”
“Although the data indicates that you are a skilled fighter, you would still pale in comparison to Xiao Hang!” Li Jing told Zhao Yu. “So, if you really were to engage physically with Xiao Hang, not only would you have been badly beaten, you would also have been transferred out of the Special Investigation Group! In which case, my plans would have been realized!”
“Hmm!” Zhao Yu snickered. “Well, too bad...”
“Too bad I underestimated you, I never would have guessed that you were this formidable! So many agents, and none of them could actually deter you!” Li Jing said.
“What are you talking about?!” Xiao Hang exclaid indignantly, still lying on the ground. “Did you not see? They obviously employed so kind of trap or trickery! Otherwise, how would I have possibly lost to him?! And... and have fallen right into his trap!?” Xiao Hang pointed at the cracked ceiling as he rubbed his head in pain.
“Erm... Team Leader...” said the special agent beside Xiao Hang. Recalling Zhao Yu’s violent and aggressive behavior, the agents tried to stop Xiao Hang from saying anything else. “You better not say anything more at the mont, whatever it was that happened, it had nothing to do with traps!” they advised him. They were right, as even Xiao Hang was no match for the burst of strength displayed by Zhao Yu.
“Humph!” Zhao Yu snorted. “Your so-called professional training just made you all robotic! You wouldn’t have known that, I, Zhao Yu, am a seasoned veteran! A wild dragon like
rises through bloodshed!”
“Hahaha...” Li Jing chuckled upon hearing this. She gave Zhao Yu a thumbs up, complinting him. “A wild dragon soaring from bloodshed indeed! No wonder they call you the Crazy Detective! What an eye-opener!”
“It’s just that...” Li Jing stopped smiling and said coldly, “I don’t care whether you are a wild dragon or a crazy detective, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve lost!”
“Huh? What?” Zhao Yu scratched his head. “What are you talking about? Who lost?”
“You, of course!” Li Jing said as she smiled smugly. “Since you’re so smart, you should have figured out that I don’t really care who wins the fight, right?”
“Hmm...” Zhao Yu frowned, seemingly beginning to understand what she ant.
“Haha...” Li Jing laughed again. “Zhao Yu, I was indeed surprised that you managed to defeat my agents! But it’s precisely because you have won the fight, and have beaten them up so badly, that it is more certain than ever that you have lost!”
This... he thought. All the agents present at the scene could sense sothing was up. They were so nervous that a thin layer of sweat had ford on their foreheads.
“Don’t forget that we are the Secret Service, not your miserable little Special Investigation Group! Acting out of line is considered insubordination! You were destined to lose!” Li Jing explained.
“You... you...” Zhao Yu thought the situation through carefully. Indeed, he seed to have fallen into Li Jing’s trap. But Zhao Yu was no fool, he knew that there would be consequences for fighting with the Secret Service.
It’s just that... I, Zhao Yu, am not any other person! Hehe... don’t forget, I have a powerful father-in-law! I am Miao Kun’s son-in-law, who dares touch ? Zhao Yu thought to himself.
Zhao Yu smacked his chest as he laughed heartily. “Wahaha! Wahahahaha!!!” His laughter was as loud as thunder, startling Li Jing. He then stared at her wide-eyed while shouting, “Ah, Li Jing! You think you’ve got it all planned out, but have you never realized why you didn’t succeed in impeaching ? And why your superiors insisted on using , a re team leader of the Special Investigation Group? Have you not wondered why?”
“Oh, is that so?” Li Jing raised her eyebrow and said, “Hey, Zhao Yu, you can’t seriously be thinking of relying on your father-in-law to help you out? Haha, I suggest that you forget it! You can’t possibly believe that Miao Kun would still vouch for you after you’ve made such a serious mistake?”
That... Zhao Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He felt sowhat deflated. It had never occurred to him that his attempt to benefit from his association with his father-in-law would be t with such disregard.
