Chapter 71 Arresting people? Stirring up a hornet's nest!
"What kind of investigation warrant do you have? Which department issued it? The military or?"
Gu Zhongzhang slowly stood up and walked to Tang Jingmo firmly, his eyes as sharp as a blade, facing the head of the investigation team directly.
The head of the investigation team sneered and said, "What a coincidence! County Magistrate Gu, you are here too, and you also have a copy of the investigation order. Let's go together!"
Song Wan grabbed Gu Zhongzhang's sleeve.
Gu Zhongzhang held her hand tightly and put it behind his back.
"You can go, but I don't know if you've heard that it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Don't shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes!"
Xiaobai's invisible vines had already wrapped around the investigation team leader's neck. Just one hit would be enough to make him bleed to death on the spot.
Suddenly, she felt a warm touch under the tablecloth. Tang Jingmo's calloused palm wrapped around her angry fist and his thumb flicked against her knuckles - he was using Morse code to comfort her.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's just a routine investigation. It'll be fine!"
His words were both comforting and reassuring.
"Who dares to take my people away?" The voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt hitting everyone's heart.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
Gu Xicheng was wearing a neat military uniform. The star on his shoulder strap was as cold as a blade under the light. The medals on his chest were heavy, and each one represented a sacrifice of blood and fire.
He stood there, like a drawn sword, his edge exposed.
The head of the investigation team was obviously well prepared. He pulled out another investigation warrant with a bright red seal on it from the briefcase carried by his assistant and unfolded it slowly.
"What a coincidence, Chief Gu, I was just about to look for you! I am Qian Dongfang, and I have been ordered to work for the Revolutionary Committee."
The moment the paper was unfolded, the signature on it made Gu Xizhang's eyes suddenly darken. He narrowed his eyes to hide the fierce light in his eyes.
"Who is Lin Xiaobai?"
He seemed very proud, holding a piece of order paper in his hand, as if he was holding an imperial decree that could decide life and death at will.
"Hey~ Is there anything else about me?"
Xiaobai walked past the crowd and came slowly to the head of the investigation team, with a nonchalant smile on his face, but a cold light in his eyes.
She stood in front of Qian Dongfang, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes fell lightly on his sparse hair.
"What? Are you going to set up another table and treat us to a meal?"
Qian Dongfang's face froze. He didn't expect her to be so arrogant.
He snorted coldly and raised his voice:
"Lin Xiaobai, Gu Xicheng's illegitimate daughter, both of you come with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cafeteria exploded.
"What? Instructor Lin is Commander Gu's daughter?"
"No wonder! A good father will have a good son!"
"I was wondering how come Instructor Lin is so talented at such a young age? It turns out he has a family background in martial arts!"
There were many discussions, but Gu Zhongzhang's reaction was the loudest.
He turned around suddenly, looked at his uncle, then at Xiaobai, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in, and his jaw was almost dislocated.
"This...this..." He stuttered, pointing at Xiaobai, then at Gu Xicheng, "You guys really did everything you could to frame Chief Gu!"
He slammed the table hard and said angrily: "My uncle is still unmarried, where did this child come from?"
He pointed at Xiaobai again: "She is Lin Xiaobai, from Longshan Village, Qinglong County, the youngest of the Lin family who was born and raised there. Everyone in the village knows her!"
He became more and more angry as he spoke: "Lin Xiaobai has a twin brother named Lin Xiaoan, who is serving in the Air Force. You can go and check it out!"
Qian Dongfang seemed to enjoy seeing Gu Zhongzhang getting irritated. He shook the investigation warrant in his hand.
"Gu Zhongzhang, we will arrange the investigation ourselves. There is no need to explain to you whether it is fabricated or not. Instead, you——"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Wan behind Gu Zhongzhang, "You haven't solved your own problem yet, and you still have the mind to meddle in other people's business!"
"Bullshit! What's wrong with me!"
Gu Zhongzhang laughed in anger, "I am upright and honest. I have done nothing wrong and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door at night."
"Really?" Qian Dongfang smiled sinisterly, "Someone reported you for having an affair with a young educated youth named Song Wan?"
Gu Zhongzhang choked instantly and his face turned red.
"What do you mean by unclear? Can you please straighten your tongue before you speak?"
Song Wan walked past Gu Zhongzhang and stood in front of him. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she pointed at Qian Dongfang angrily:
"He's unmarried, and I'm unmarried. We're of similar age and have similar personalities. What's wrong with dating you?"
Gu Zhongzhang was stunned. He took a step forward and looked sideways at Song Wan, his eyes brightening surprisingly. "Ah! You...you accepted it?!"
Song Wan pushed his face away with disdain, "Go away, don't you consider the occasion?"
Qian Dongfang snorted coldly, "I don't care whether your relationship is true or not. As long as someone reports it, we will investigate according to the regulations."
"Let's see who dares to move!" As soon as Gu Xicheng finished speaking, a team of soldiers armed with live ammunition marched in, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Qian Dongfang was startled and subconsciously hid behind his assistant. The paper in his hand made a slight sound, reminding him of the purpose of his visit.
"Gu Xicheng, what do you mean by this! Are you going to rebel?!"
Gu Xicheng was calm and composed, and sneered, "Why would I need to fight back against a villain like you?!"
"Everyone, please be patient!" Political Commissar Zhou ran in, sweating profusely.
He turned around and respectfully invited the person behind him to come out, "Mr. Mo, please come in!"
Political Commissar Zhou secretly prayed that the Buddha he had invited could subdue the evil spirit.
These people are not easy to deal with. When they get together, they can turn the world upside down!
Who wants to arrest people and make life difficult for themselves? Why do they have to stir up a hornet's nest?
Old Mo walked in slowly, leaning on a cane, his silver hair combed meticulously. Although he was nearly 70 years old, his back was straight. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. When he swept his eyes over the people present, even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
When Qian Dongfang saw the person coming, his face suddenly changed. He immediately put away his arrogance and even bent his waist a little unconsciously.
"Mo...Mr. Mo?!"
Old Mo glanced at him calmly without saying anything, and just gently put his cane to the ground.
——Boom.
A slight sound caused Qian Dongfang's calf to tremble violently.
"Qian Dongfang." Old Mo spoke in a calm voice, but with unquestionable majesty, "You come to arrest someone from my military department with an administrative investigation order?"
Qian Dongfang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said with all his might: "Mr. Mo, this is what the higher-ups said. I'm just following their orders..."
"On top?" Old Mo sneered, "On which top? Who signed it? Let her tell me!"
Qian Dongfang was speechless, and his fingers holding the investigation order trembled slightly.
——The signature on this investigation order cannot stand up to scrutiny at all, and there is no point in being too serious about it.
Mr. Mo stopped looking at him and turned to look at Gu Xicheng, his eyes softening a little.
"Xicheng, I heard about it."
