Huo Yushen's expression remained unchanged as he said coldly, "...Did you see it?"
"I saw it, but the place was completely destroyed. When we went in, we found debris everywhere. The laboratory hall was in a mess, and all the equipment and instruments were smashed to pieces. Tsk, tsk, what a pity..."
Huo Yushen's expression was slightly stern: "You said that when you went in, the base there had already been destroyed?"
"Yeah, I'm still puzzled... You know, our empire prohibits any genetic research, but that place is all about genetic research. Even an outsider like me can see that there are so many humanoid corpses, it's impossible to accumulate them in such a short time... It must have been going on for years. What the hell are you doing with the Special Security Bureau? You didn't even know anything..."
"Isn't this a major case? Don't you guys from the Special Security Bureau investigate it?"
"Of course, that place has been completely destroyed. I guess you wouldn't find anything even if you wanted to investigate."
When Xia Chujian saw this, he didn't say "our Special Security Bureau" but "your Special Security Bureau", as if he was ashamed to be associated with them.
Only then did Huo Yushen fully understand what Quan Yuxun meant by giving him a big gift...
However, Huo Yushen didn't show any of that. He remained as cold as ice and said, "The Special Security Bureau isn't omnipotent. We are directly under His Majesty. We do whatever His Majesty tells us to do. Do you think we can do anything?"
Xia Chujian hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "...isn't it?"
"Thank you for your confidence in our agency, but it's not good to overdo it," Huo Yushen said calmly. "Remember, we, the Special Security Bureau, are only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor and only work for His Majesty the Emperor. The Cabinet, the Senate, and the military are all equals to us."
Xia Chujian said "Oh" as if she understood, then asked, "But why did Chief Quan want to blow up that place? He even said it was a big gift for you..."
Huo Yushen had already received the information he wanted. His expression became even more indifferent and solemn. He said in a cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't ask so much. What are you going to do if you know? What can you do?"
Xia Chujian thought about it carefully and felt a little discouraged.
She was indeed just a little curious. What difference would it make if she knew it?
Huo Yushen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her head.
But doesn't she have any right to know the truth?
When something happens, these people will just ask her to die...
Nothing happened, it's none of her business...
Do the lower-class civilians only have the right to wait for death, and have no right to know why they die?
Xia Chujian snorted inwardly and said calmly, "Yes, it really has nothing to do with me. That Quan Yuxun was looking for Jia Guo, but ended up finding this base..."
Huo Yushen's pupils suddenly constricted: "...What did you say? What is Quan Yuxun looking for?!"
Xia Chujian's expression remained unchanged, but she was cheering for herself in her heart.
She knew that talking about this matter would make Huo Yushen interested!
Just be interested!
Xia Chujian coughed lightly and said seriously, "This matter has nothing to do with Inspector Huo, so don't ask so much. What would you do if you knew? What could you do?"
She repeated exactly what Huo Yushen had said to her.
Huo Yushen was slightly stunned.
This girl has a really strong desire for revenge.
However, this time, she really grasped his curiosity, one of the few remaining curiosity he had.
Huo Yushen's mind raced, his expression becoming even more solemn. His voice was cold and chilling, "Xia Chujian, was it Quan Yuxun who told you that he was looking for Jiaguo?"
Xia Chujian raised her head slightly and continued to argue: "Inspector Huo, I've already told you this. This is a matter between Chief Quan and me. We signed a confidentiality agreement and can't tell anyone about it. If you tell anyone, I'll have to pay you."
When Huo Yushen heard the word "compensation", he half believed it.
Given Quan Yuxun's working style, he would indeed sign a confidentiality clause with his partners.
He asked tentatively: "...How much compensation do you want?"
Xia Chujian was still proud: "...pay 100 million."
She's talking like she has 100 million...
Huo Yushen: "...You were deceived by Quan Yuxun. According to imperial law, the maximum compensation for confidentiality clauses cannot exceed 100,000 Beichen coins. You do not have to pay the amount exceeding this."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
After her initial surprise, she asked suspiciously, "Really? There's such a clause? You're not kidding me again?"
Huo Yushen had lied to her openly last time, and she still feels a bit resentful about it.
Huo Yushen said with a serious expression, "Believe it or not. You can only tell me about Jia Guo, but never tell anyone else. If you do, I'm afraid even I can't protect you, let alone Quan Yuxun."
Xia Chujian had also been reminded of this by Quan Yuxun, and she subconsciously felt that the thing was probably indeed extremely precious.
But she had already told a huge lie in front of Quan Yuxun. What was even more outrageous was that Quan Yuxun actually said that there were two Jiaguo!
In fact, this is the real reason why Xia Chujian mentioned the word "Jia Guo" to Huo Yushen.
If Huo Yushen hadn't called her on video at four in the morning, she would have taken the initiative to discuss this matter with Huo Yushen after she woke up.
Seeing Huo Yushen being so cautious, Xia Chujian stopped joking with him and said hurriedly, "Inspector Huo, I was just about to tell you about this. You must help me!"
"Speak." Huo Yushen was no longer in a hurry. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, but his expression was still unusually indifferent.
