Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 693 - 690 Investigation

"Old Mu... Old Mu..."

Jiang Hongtu noticed that the call with Old Mu suddenly cut off halfway. After calling out a few tis without response, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Hongtu put away his phone, his face full of confusion. As a public official, he naturally knew about the existence of the confidentiality laws.

State secrets are classified into top secret, confidential, and secret levels.

Unless otherwise specified, the confidentiality period for top secrets does not exceed thirty years, confidential does not exceed twenty years, and secrets do not exceed ten years.

From this, it’s not hard to see that top secret is already the highest level.

For example, so already declassified information today involves individuals who have made outstanding contributions in certain fields, even influencing the destiny of the nation.

For instance, Yu Min, the father of the hydrogen bomb; Sun Jiadong, the father of satellites; and one of the pioneers and founders of the nuclear submarine industry, Huang Xuhua, among others.

But what status does Shen Siyuan have, how could he be on the sa confidentiality level as them?

Just as Jiang Hongtu was puzzled, Qi Huilan returned. Seeing him sitting silently in the living room, she thought he was worried about their daughter.

So she said, "Do you want to call Taozi and have her co back to explain things clearly?"

Jiang Hongtu ca back to his senses and quickly waved his hand.

"No rush yet. I’ll have soone investigate that kid’s information."

"Oh, do you have any information? Is that kid a local from Bin Hai? What do his parents do?" Qi Huilan’s eyes lit up at his words and she hurriedly asked.

Before Jiang Hongtu could say anything, his phone rang again. Looking at it, he saw it was Old Mu calling, so he quickly answered.

The first thing Old Mu said was, "Hongtu, you’ve gotten into trouble."

"Uh... What do you an by that?" Jiang Hongtu was a bit flustered.

"Just now, the leadership had a talk with . I really can’t help you with this matter; you should find soone else more capable." Old Mu said over the phone.

No need to see him in person; from the tone alone, one could guess that he must be full of worry.

"Old Mu, thank you. I’ll treat you to a drink next ti we et," Mr. Jiang sincerely expressed gratitude.

Old Mu sighed and said, "Hongtu, I don’t know why you’re investigating this person. Here’s my advice: let it go for now. And there might be soone coming to talk to you."

This was indeed a true friend, otherwise, he wouldn’t have given such advice.

"Thank you." Jiang Hongtu thanked him again before hanging up.

Qi Huilan noticed Jiang Hongtu’s serious expression and quickly asked, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Hongtu replied, "That kid’s background is quite unusual. How about you ask Taozi to co back and talk to her?"

Jiang Hongtu decided to call his daughter back for a clearer understanding for peace of mind. Being classified as top secret by the state is never simple.

He wasn’t too worried about higher-ups interviewing him, after all, he was just a father concerned about his daughter. Although this was handled with so flaws, it couldn’t be said he had ill intentions.

anwhile, on the other end, Shen Siyuan also received a call from Song ixian.

"Captain Song."

"Mr. Shen, long ti no see." Song ixian gave a light laugh over the phone.

Even without eting, her exquisite visage would appear in his mind.

"Yes, it’s been a while. I wonder why you’re calling at this mont; is sothing the matter?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Just now soone was inquiring about your information. After our investigation, we found out it’s Jiang Taoshi’s father. How do you want this matter handled?" Song ixian asked.

"You all can handle this, he ans no harm. I assu you didn’t just call for this, did you, Captain Song?" Shen Siyuan said.

This wasn’t a big deal, and Song ixian could have handled it directly. There was no need for this call, so she must have had other matters.

"I haven’t thanked you for last ti. Whenever you’re free, I’d like to visit you." Song ixian said.

Shen Siyuan understood she was referring to the ti when Zhong Xiaonan took a "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill" from him.

"Did it work well?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"It didn’t just work; it was outstandingly effective," Song ixian praised.

"I’m currently out of town. Let’s talk when I return to Bin Hai," Shen Siyuan said.

Shen Siyuan realized that in order to gain a lot of rit, this opportunity had now arrived.

Song ixian was both surprised and delighted by Shen Siyuan’s amiability and agreed quickly.

After hanging up, the more Song ixian thought about it, the more excited she beca. This was a task given to her from above; she had thought it would be difficult, but didn’t expect Shen Siyuan to be so approachable. Although Shen Siyuan said to discuss when they et, it implied negotiation was possible. As long as there was room for negotiation, there was potential, and with enough sincerity, the possibility would be very high.

Song ixian was currently in Bin Hai. Ever since the effect of that Elixir Pill was revealed, she had co to Bin Hai, always thinking about how to contact Shen Siyuan and negotiate this matter.

The reason for such caution was that the effect of the Elixir Pill had shocked the people above. It was not an exaggeration to call it an Immortal Pill. Moreover, all the miraculous things about Shen Siyuan led to speculations about his identity, possibly being a divine being walking in the Mortal World. Hence, one could never be too cautious when contacting him.

They even set up a special team to analyze and evaluate Shen Siyuan’s behavior and psychology.

Indeed, it allowed them to have a deeper understanding of Shen Siyuan.

However, human nature is the hardest to predict, and blindly trusting analysis is worse than having none. Thus, their contact with Shen Siyuan remained cautious and careful.

At this thought, Song ixian felt she should do sothing as a gesture of goodwill towards Shen Siyuan.

At this point, as Taozi nervously returned ho without having ti to eat, the doorbell rang.

Sitting on the sofa with Mr. Jiang, ready to "interrogate" Taozi, Qi Huilan got up to open the door but was stopped by Mr. Jiang.

"Let her go." Mr. Jiang glared at Taozi, sitting in front of them.

"Oh," Taozi reluctantly got up.

Seeing Taozi’s aggrieved look, Qi Huilan whispered into Mr. Jiang’s ear, "Aren’t you being too harsh? Actually, it’s not a big deal for Taozi to have a boyfriend. She’s twenty-eight now. Look, her complexion is much better than before; it shows that the man must treat her well..."

"Say no more," Mr. Jiang interrupted.

Thinking to himself, if you keep talking, I won’t be able to "interrogate" our daughter today.

"Huh, Miss Zhong, and this is..."

Taozi was a bit surprised to see Zhong Xiaonan at her house.

"This is our Captain Song," Zhong Xiaonan introduced.

"Miss Jiang, hello," Song ixian extended her hand proactively.

"Oh, hello..."

Taozi hurriedly reached out to shake hands.

The woman’s beauty made her a bit dazed; she had never seen such a beautiful woman.

"Aren’t you going to invite us in for a sit?" Song ixian smiled.

Only then did Taozi realize and quickly stepped aside to let them in.

Jiang Hongtu and Qi Huilan both stood up quickly upon seeing outsiders coming in.

Mr. Jiang asked, "Taozi, who are these two?"

For a mont, Taozi didn’t know how to respond until Song ixian spoke up.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Qi, we are from the National Security Bureau." Song ixian smiled as she showed her credentials.

Hearing this, Jiang Hongtu and Qi Huilan were taken aback. As public officials, although they feared the investigative team most, the team would, at most, investigate for bribery. However, anything involving the Security Bureau is never trivial.

Jiang Hongtu and Qi Huilan were both numb with shock.

Quickly calculating in their minds whether they had done anything during their tenures that could threaten national security.
