Having people at your disposal is a good thing.

Previously, Fang Qingdai had to rely on herself to get things done, but now that she has delegated tasks one by one, and both Xiao Mao and Xuan Ba ​​are teammates she can trust, Fang Qingdai is much more relaxed.

But she couldn't rest either; she had just handed over the task when Xuan Liu sent her a message.

Fang Qingdai and Xuan Liu arranged to meet at the team's base. As soon as Xuan Liu entered, he got straight to the point: "I have been investigating for a long time, but no matter how I investigate, all I can find is that Huang Guang was suspended and arrested for the crime of embezzling and selling official supplies."

"There are no records of what specific materials were misappropriated and sold."

Fang Qingdai frowned; this was strange.

Huang Guang, Huang's father, has been arrested for so long, the necessary procedures should have been completed long ago. If he is to be convicted, there must be evidence.

In other words, at least the names and quantities of the materials that Huang Guang misappropriated and sold must be recorded in order to convict him.

But there's still no news after all this time. Are the higher-ups just going to take him down without any explanation?

It's not impossible...

This is a wasteland where everyone lives in fear under the rule of tyranny, and few dare to speak out against injustice.

The more silent the people become, the more arrogant the authorities become. If this continues, they will naturally be able to shift blame without any substantial evidence, and can simply assign blame to whomever they want!

Fang Qingdai sighed and said, "Do you know where Huang Guang is being held? I'll sneak in and ask him myself!"

Fang Qingdai had some guesses in her mind.

Huang Guang definitely misappropriated base resources. Let alone Huang Guang, even an old man who looks after a warehouse in the logistics department can squeeze some money out of a pile of junk. How many people in the logistics department are clean?

However, these are benefits that are tacitly accepted by the base. Everyone knows about them, and no one will use them to attack political enemies. After all, if we really want to talk about it, there are very few high-ranking officials in the entire Xuanwu base who are clean, honest, and dedicated to serving the people.

Huang Guang's downfall was either due to offending someone he shouldn't have, or touching something he shouldn't have.

Huang Guangneng must be a shrewd and tactful person to have been appointed as the head of the logistics department, so Fang Qingdai thought the chances of him offending anyone were slim.

It's highly likely that they touched something they shouldn't have, or... stumbled upon some terrible secret, which led to this calamity.

Xuan Liu thought for a while before saying, "He should be in the base prison. I didn't see any record of Huang Guang being interrogated. He should have been arrested and has been in prison ever since."

Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat: "They've been arrested for so long, and they haven't interrogated you even once?"

No wonder we still don't know what supplies he misappropriated!

How can a crime be convicted without even a trial?

The base couldn't possibly have forgotten such a living person, especially a former high-ranking official, so what was the purpose of delaying the trial?

I'm afraid Huang Guang isn't actually in prison anymore, and has already been secretly transferred to another place!

Fang Qingdai took a breath and calmly asked, "Who is Huang Guang's superior? I mean his private backer!"

To be able to land such a lucrative position as the head of the logistics department, Huang Guang must have some powerful connections.

After Huang Guang got into trouble, it's unknown whether the people behind him tried to bail him out, tried to maneuver around the situation, or even fueled the fire...

Xuan Liu shook his head: "I don't know, I've never had any contact with people from the logistics department before."

Fang Qingdai sighed. She had originally planned to start by investigating Huang Guang's superiors to find out whether he had been pushed out to take the blame or was being attacked by other forces.

You need to know the attitude of the people behind him first.

But with no way to find out anything right now, Fang Qingdai had no choice but to go to the prison.

To find out the specifics, just ask the person involved!

After thinking it through, Fang Qingdai sent a message to Huang Changming.

Twenty minutes later, Huang Changming, looking haggard, arrived at the team's base with dragging steps.

Seeing his appearance, Xuan Liu and Fang Qingdai were both startled. Fang Qingdai frowned and asked, "Are you really sick?"

She thought he was just in a bad mood and avoiding people!

Huang Changming gave a bitter laugh: "My mom doesn't sleep at all, she cries day and night, saying she dreamt that my dad was sentenced to death or something. No matter how I try to comfort her, it's no use. I feel like I'm about to break down too!"

No wonder she took leave from work and stayed home; no wonder she looks so haggard.

Xuan Liu and Fang Qingdai both looked at each other with sympathy.

"You'll come with me tonight to check out the prison. We'll talk to your dad directly and get the details before we make any plans!"

Huang Guang may not be a good person, but neither is Fang Qingdai.

Even if Huang Guangzhen embezzled and sold the base's supplies, and Fang Qingdai couldn't find a way to get him out, she would still steal him out directly for the sake of her team members!

At worst, we can just let the red fox cause another disturbance. With the red fox as such an excellent tool for controlling alien beasts, it's practically the top-notch assistant for escaping prison and killing people!

But that's the worst possible outcome.

Once the prison break is successful, Huang Guang will no longer be able to stay in the Xuanwu Base.

Fang Qingdai felt it was a pity.

The reason she took charge of this matter was that Huang Changming was her team member and one of the few people she could trust and command, and that he was her childhood friend, among other reasons.

Most importantly, Fang Qingdai valued Huang Guang's position highly.

If we can help him regain his official position, Fang Qingdai in the logistics department will be able to come and go as she pleases, and she won't need to scavenge for any supplies she wants from the warehouse.

With Huang Guang's connections, even some good items that are 70-80% new can end up in Fang Qingdai's pocket at scrap prices!

That position is too tempting. Fang Qingdai doesn't have the ability to promote a new person to that position yet, so the best way is to get the person out of there.

Then, by taking advantage of the life-saving grace and Huang Changming's relationship, they were able to use back channels as a matter of course!

When Huang Changming heard that Fang Qingdai was going to the prison herself that night, the usually arrogant and haughty young man was stunned, and his eyes turned red after a moment.

He hesitated for a long time, took several deep breaths, and then suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Qingdai.

"Thank you, Captain. I will definitely obey your every command and follow your lead from now on!"

When the young man was first seen, he was like a proud rooster. But in just two months, he looked haggard and his eyes were glazed over, as if all his energy had been drained.

Fang Qingdai sighed inwardly and gently comforted him, "We are a team, and it's only right that we help each other. Go back and get some rest. We'll meet here at eight o'clock tonight."

Fang Qingdai appeared calm, but she was actually quite worried inside.

She was a little worried that she would return empty-handed.

Huang's father has not been interrogated for a long time, and there has been no follow-up. It is unknown what changes may have occurred during this long period of time.

The worst-case scenario is that they might come up empty-handed, and Huang Guang has already been moved!

But no matter what, we still need to go and investigate first to confirm.

At 8 p.m., Fang Qingdai, along with Qingluan, picked up Huang Changming, and the three of them crept silently into the space and headed towards the base's prison.
