Chapter 68: 68, a business deal

“Heard from Director Kou, Captain Lin came to the hospital to see Captain Chen, and sure enough, you’re here.”

Xu Qiu cast a calm glance at the two people in the ward, Lin Qing and Chen Yanan, and said, “The City Patrol Bureau has instructed us to ask you both a few questions. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

Lin Qing turned his head to glance at Xu Qiu and slightly frowned, “Even a patient has to undergo your investigation?”

“Just a few questions.”

Xu Qiu maintained a neutral expression, “Additionally, the Deputy Captain of the Upper City District Patrol Team has already taken a search warrant to investigate Captain Lin’s office and residence. You should have been notified already, haven’t you?”

“Feel free to search,” Lin Qing said lightly.

...

“We have a few questions to ask, please answer them truthfully,” said Xu Qiu.

Lin Qing continued to eat his apple.

He and his cousin were both level two Patrol Officers; unless there was a major error, there was no need to go to the interrogation room—a private conversation for understanding was enough.

“We’ll start with Captain Chen.”

Xu Qiu looked at Chen Yanan and said, “Captain Chen has ordered mechanical prosthetics from Dawn Group. Based on our understanding of your family’s financial situation, you should only be able to afford the G21L model of the mechanical prosthetics. Is that the model you ordered?”

There’s a lot of information the Patrol system can access, but after all, Dawn Group is a big company within the urban circle, very troublesome to investigate, and the procedures are complicated.

“Yes.”

Chen Yanan nodded, saying, “What I ordered is indeed—”

“It’s not the G21L model.”

At this point, Lin Qing interrupted her, sweeping his gaze over the three Patrol Officers, including Xu Qiu, “It’s the Hongjun Series of mechanical prosthetics.”

“Hongjun Series?” Xu Qiu was slightly taken aback.

The Patrol Officer responsible for recording behind her couldn’t help but say, “Hongjun Series? Does Dawn Group have this series of mechanical prosthetics? It’s not shown in the materials; please clarify, Captain Lin—”

“No need to ask any further.”

However, Xu Qiu suddenly raised her hand to stop him.

She looked at Lin Qing somewhat curiously and asked, “Is it a headquarters benefit?”

“Correct,” Lin Qing nodded.

Xu Qiu, ranked number one among Patrol Officers, clearly had an extraordinary background; it was quite normal for her to know about the limited edition Hongjun Series.

And since she also signed the contract for Elite Patrol training, it was natural for her to guess this point.

“You’re really good to your sister.”

Xu Qiu nodded slightly, then glanced at the two Patrol Officers behind her, “Alright, no need to search further, let’s call it off.”

“That’s it? We’re not investigating anymore?” The two Patrol Officers were taken aback.

“Captain Lin wouldn’t do something like this just for mechanical prosthetics.”

Xu Qiu said calmly, “Write in the investigation record ‘involving headquarters secrets, no comment.’ That’s enough.”

The two Patrol Officers immediately understood that this was probably something that only headquarters could investigate.

Lin Qing didn’t expect Xu Qiu to be so straightforward either, and casually asked, “Captain Xu, the City Bureau leadership will be okay with such a perfunctory investigation?”

“It’s none of my concern.”

Xu Qiu stated calmly, “If they’re not satisfied, let them go to headquarters to investigate themselves. Besides, I never believed Captain Lin would do such a thing anyway; just going through the motions is enough. Now it’s even better… The Hongjun Series of mechanical prosthetics can’t be bought with money. I’d like to see what the City Bureau has to say now.”

She gave Lin Qing a slight nod, “Then we won’t disturb you two any longer.”

Lin Qing nodded, “Captain Xu, take care.”

After Xu Qiu left with the two Patrol Officers, Chen Yanan couldn’t help but ask, “What did Captain Xu mean just now? The Hongjun Series of mechanical prosthetics? I’ve never heard of this either.”

“Don’t worry; you’ll know in a bit.”

Lin Qing smiled and said, “If I don’t pass the job evaluation, so be it. You’re about to be discharged from the hospital, sister, and you’ll continue as Captain. Whether I become a Captain or not doesn’t really matter.”

After all, once he had the strength of a Patrol Chief, he could join the Elite Patrol at headquarters.

—Which was the strength that Xu Qiu currently possessed.

Once the Super Sensing Liquid took effect, he was destined to master the Original Chaoyang Method, at which point his strength would far surpass Xu Qiu’s.

This was already a foregone conclusion.

Even if he became the Captain, it wouldn’t be for long, so of course, he didn’t care at all.

…

After the Upper City District Patrol Team got involved in the search, they found nothing belonging to the Yinghai Group at Lin Qing’s residence or office.

Logically, even so, the suspicion should still remain, but the City Bureau seemed to have uncovered something significant and collectively kept silent.

The next day, March 1, the City Bureau issued a notice stating that the recent rumors about Lin Qing, the Deputy Captain of the Xiao Shan District Patrol Team, had been investigated and confirmed to be false, personally clearing the suspicion.

The issuing of this notice completely silenced all the whispers about Lin Qing within the department.

That evening.

Lin Qing took Zhao Jiayi back to her place, and when he entered his own home, he frowned.

Because…

On his coffee table lay a gold name-brand watch and a lustrous jade pendant.

They were the valuable items lost by the Yinghai Group!

Underneath them was an invitation.

Lin Qing didn’t touch the items but sent Zhao Jiayi a WeChat message asking, “Have you eaten?” Soon after, she came over to knock on the door.

After closing the door, Lin Qing didn’t ask her directly; he just handed her a glass of water.

While taking advantage of drinking water, Zhao Jiayi carefully scanned the interior with telekinesis and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Lin Qing, I’ve checked, there’s no surveillance or anything like that; don’t worry.”

“Someone entered my home, but the locks are provided by the Inspection Bureau, the security need not be mentioned.”

Lin Qing looked at the two lost items and the invitation on the coffee table, “The Upper City Patrol Team was allowed to search only with my permission; they didn’t find these two items at my place, but now…”

But these two items are now brazenly laid out on the coffee table.

“Someone put these in your home after the Patrol Team left?”

Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it was that invisible woman from the Yinghai Group? She could have easily followed the Upper City Patrol Team during their search, snuck in with them, and once they left, she placed the items and departed.”

Lin Qing hummed in acknowledgment and nodded.

He picked up the invitation and glanced at it, saying, “Yinghai Group’s Chairman, Zhang Zhiren, wants to have a chat with me.”

“Then are you going?” Zhao Jiayi asked.

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes and said, “He is telling me… he could use this opportunity to prevent my promotion but chose to let me go.”

He pondered for a moment and looked at Zhao Jiayi, “You come with me; wait outside when we’re there. If there’s any danger, you signal me through the subconscious.”

“Okay…”

…

In the spacious and bright reception room.

“Captain Lin, please have a seat.”

Zhang Zhiren, dressed in a black Tang suit with graying temples, said with a smile under the light, “I wonder, Captain Lin, do you prefer a direct conversation or a more subtle one?”

“Let’s be direct.” Lin Qing sat down on the long sofa and sized up Zhang Zhiren, asking, “What is your relationship with the Yuanhong Society?”

Zhang Zhiren laughed soundlessly and shook his head, “That’s a bit too direct, Captain Lin.”

“So?” Lin Qing looked at him.

“Then let’s be direct.” Zhang Zhiren smiled and said, “I am the second in command of the Yuanhong Society; you could say I’m the ‘Boss’ under the Boss. The previous third in command responsible for Xiao Shan District, Zhou Yang, was number three.”

“You’re admitting it.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, “It seems you are confident I can’t find any evidence?”

“Some evidence may as well not exist even if it does.” Zhang Zhiren said, smiling and shaking his head lightly, “Captain Lin, you should know why I invited you here, right?”

“You want me to play the role of Xiao Peidong?” Lin Qing looked at him.

“You’re still probing.” Zhang Zhiren laughed, “It looks like Captain Lin has already determined that Xiao Peidong is an informant for my Yuanhong Society?”

“Isn’t he?” Lin Qing retorted.

“No need to probe anymore, I’m sure Zhou Yang didn’t reveal anything before his death.”

Zhang Zhiren shook his head with a smile, sincerely saying, “I’m a businessman; I’m here today to discuss a deal with Captain Lin.”

“Really? I think you plan to make a compulsory purchase; is that also a business deal?” Lin Qing watched Zhang Zhiren.

But at this moment, his subconscious was frantically warning him.

His intuition told him—

Right beside him, at this very moment, someone was sitting.
