Chapter 268 Extreme Heat. Melting Ice

Many of the people who were driven away hid in the dark and secretly observed the situation here, including Liu Shuang, Gao Chong, Liu Chuan and Liu Lao Hu who arrived later.

They didn't dare to move forward and could only stare ahead.

"Tiger, don't worry." Liu Chuan comforted him, "If Zhuona and her daughter are really taken away, I will definitely go to the general manager to plead for mercy. He is different from those people who came from the shelter. He will handle it impartially."

Liu Shuang rolled his eyes at him and said in a voice that only he could hear, "What's there to save? It's better without them."

Liu Lao Hu only heard his daughter mumbling a few words, but he didn't understand what they were. Finally, he sighed helplessly, "Thank you, Brother Liu."

"What is there to thank? Zhuona and her daughter are originally from District 7. Besides, Chuan and Gu Ye are also benefactors of the community."

On the other side, Miao Miao was not in a position to say that she knew Chu An, so she stepped forward and introduced herself, "Hello, I am Assistant Miao from the Secretariat, this is Secretary General Tang Chen of City C, and this is Director Li of the Public Security Bureau."

After saying that, he looked at Chu An vigorously, telling him to say hello quickly.

Chu An greeted with a smile, "Secretary Tang, Director Li, hello."

Tang Chen glanced at his watch, "Hello, little girl. But I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."

His time was already filled with official duties, and being able to spare three minutes was the maximum he could spare. He looked at Director Li and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

Director Li nodded, "Okay, leave the rest to me."

Chu An and others watched Tang Chen leave in a hurry. He really just came to say hello and didn't even say a complete sentence.

Alas, I had wanted to meet the base commander before, but I didn’t expect that in addition to the base commander, I met several people I knew, and they were all well-known figures in the base.

The undercover agent of Fuyuan Mansion became the chief general manager, in charge of the joint defense team of the entire base; Niu Li became the captain of the mobile team, with all the best soldiers under him; Miao Miao got his wish and became Tang Chen's assistant, but it is not known whether he is the top star.

"Xiao An, do you know them?" Zhuona asked in a low voice.

Chu An nodded, then shook his head, "Not very familiar."

Director Li watched Tang Chen's car disappear, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. The base had just been stable for a few days, and there were so many parasites causing trouble. They must be killed to serve as a warning to the rest.

He looked at Niu Li with a heavy face, "Have you investigated the matter clearly?"

Niu Li nodded, "We have already investigated clearly that it was the salesperson Li Mei who first snatched the owner Zhuona's ID card. It was not a big deal in the first place, but the subsequent staff members were biased towards the salesperson when handling it, which led to the matter becoming more and more serious. I will write the specific process in the report later."

"I...I am innocent. I didn't steal her card." Li Meisha's face turned pale with fright. She didn't want to lose her job. No, she didn't want to leave the base.

"I'm not partial." Director Zhao kept twisting his body, trying to break free from the joint defense team members. "I was deceived by this woman. Director Li, when I came, she deliberately fell in front of me. I also saw it..."

Director Li narrowed his eyes and said, "If your eyes don't work, don't keep them."

Manager Zhao wanted to say something else, but the head of the first floor covered his mouth, and he could only make a humming sound.

Director Li turned to look at Chu An and the others, "You also cooperate in taking the statement, and go home after you are done."

Mother Zhuo and Zhuona looked at each other. It was the first time for them to see so many important people, and their surprise was no less than that of Manager Zhao and Captain Zhong.

"Thank you, Director Li." Mother Zhuo was delighted and pulled Zhuona and Chu An's hands to cooperate with the investigation, but Chu An did not move.

"Xiao An, let's go." Zhuo's mother advised in a low voice, "This is already the best outcome."

Director Li smiled. Hearing Director Wang say that this girl was not easy to deal with, he asked, "Chu An, are you still dissatisfied?"

Chu An frowned and looked at Li Mei and Yao Fang. She was very angry because these two women had disrupted her plan. Li Mei and Yao Fang felt their necks tighten and they kept hiding behind the joint defense team members.

She said without pretense, "I came here to buy a mobile phone, but now I haven't made it."

Niu Li held her forehead and cleared her throat, "Xiao An, it's the same if you come back tomorrow to buy it. The base won't disappear."

"Alright, those who need to be taken away for investigation should be taken away for investigation immediately, and those who need to be dismissed should be dismissed." Zhang Zhao said sternly, "Leave the follow-up matters to Team 78. Captain Han and Captain Zhong, please come to my office later."

Except for Chu An and his three companions, all the joint defense team members and the people involved were taken away. Niu Li patted Chu An on the shoulder and whispered, "I'll go with you to buy a phone tomorrow."

Chu An remained unmoved, "My application to enter the base is only valid until 7 o'clock tonight."

Niu Li suddenly understood that this was the rule of the base. Any outsider could only enter the base for one day at most, and no later than 7pm, and could only apply once a month to prevent people who were not qualified to stay in the base from staying there for a long time.

As a law enforcer, she cannot actively break the rule and can only look to Director Li for help.

Director Li was helpless. "Then how about this? I'll give you a mobile phone and I'll send someone to deliver it to your place tomorrow."

"I don't need to spend points to buy it?"

"No need, I'll give it to you." Director Li spread his hands generously.

Chu An's face finally relaxed. He thought it was a good idea to take advantage of something free. "Okay then."

Director Li and Niu Li got back into the car, and Chu An and a few others followed Wang Guan.

Zhuo's mother said regretfully, "I was thinking of letting you eat before leaving, but now it seems that's not possible."

Gu Ye, "We'll come again next month."

Zhuona took Chuan's hand and said, "Are you really not going to enter the base?"

Chu An shook his head, "We will definitely not enter the base, but if you don't want to live here, contact me. Even if I'm not in City C, I will arrange a good place for you."

Her words attracted the attention of the joint defense team members. Several people nearby looked at her suspiciously. A little girl was talking so arrogantly. How could she arrange for someone to move out?

Zhuona asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find my dad."

"Well, this is serious business and can't be delayed." Zhuo's mother stroked Gu Ye and Chu An's hair lovingly, "You two should take good care of yourselves."

Chu An nodded and secretly took out the temporary points card from his pocket, "Zhuona, I have something to trouble you with. Please buy me a few more mobile phones tomorrow, and then I will ask someone to pick them up."

Zhuona had to take the card, she really had no points, "Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow morning, do you still need to buy so much?"

Chu An thought for a moment and said, "Cut it in half."

She felt that Director Li should not just give her one and should wait and see the situation first.

"Okay, stop chatting." The joint defense team member stopped them from talking.

The few people had said everything they needed to say, cooperated with Captain Wang in taking statements, and said goodbye to each other.

Chu An and Gu Ye were picked up directly by Niu Li. When they drove past Liu Chuan and Liu Lao Hu who were waiting not far away, they finally felt relieved. These were now the ties between Zhuona and her daughter, and they could not be let go in a moment.

Niu Li sent the two of them to the gate of the base and wrote down their address.

"You live quite far away, how do you get back?"

"We have a car, but we hide it."

"Okay, the ice will start to melt soon. Try not to go out if you can." Niu Li asked casually after giving instructions, "By the way, have you... seen Wang Ce?"

Chu An asked calmly, "What happened to him?"

Niu Li sighed, "It's okay, hey, there's no way he'll come looking for you. Okay, you guys should leave quickly, it's getting dark, be careful."
