Zong Ruoan: “…”
What are you talking about?
This is too scary...
Huo Yushen's face suddenly turned cold: "Because I will send them out on field missions as soon as possible. Those who are incompetent will either die at the hands of the enemy. Or they will rebel outside and die in my hands."
Zong Ruoan: “…”
He said nothing and silently saluted Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "The private club case and Wang Yixiao's case happened one after another. We can investigate what connects them when we have time, but we don't need to put too much effort into it."
"However, Wang Yixiao's case involves the development of genetic drugs. It is a derivative clue that requires special attention."
In just a few words, he pointed out the direction for Zong Ruoan.
Zong Ruoan saluted again: "Yes, Chief."
"Also, do you have any clues about the private interstellar spacecraft I asked you to investigate?"
"We're checking it out, it should be available soon."
Huo Yushen nodded and said, "Then let's clean up the Punishment Department and the Fan family first." Then he walked towards the door of the meeting room.
But after taking a few steps, he half-turned and asked without turning his head, "...those altered photos that Wang Yixiao showed, were they taken by her herself, or were they sent to her by someone else?"
Zong Ruoan was stunned by the question. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not clear yet. The technical department just checked and found that the memory chip of Wang Yixiao's quantum optical computer was severely damaged. All the data in it is gone and there is no way to recover it."
"Oh? Is it this bad? Even the Information Department and Intelligence Department of the Special Security Bureau can't recover together?" Huo Yushen turned around and asked Zong Ruoan.
Zong Ruoan, who studied information science in college and is quite familiar with this, said, "If it were just data overwrites, we would have no problem recovering it. But the memory chip in Wang Yixiao's quantum optical computer is clearly physically damaged, and the damage is beyond repair. Therefore, the data cannot be restored."
Huo Yushen immediately said, "Have you checked Wang Yixiao's cloud account? See if she has the habit of backing up her data to the cloud at all times."
Zong Ruoan's eyes lit up and he said, "Good idea! I'll get someone to check it out right away."
Then he thought, "Oh, I could ask Xia Chujian if she knows where Wang Yixiao got these photos, because she was the one involved at the time, and she was the one Wang Yixiao directly threatened with these photos."
Huo Yushen seemed to be reminded and asked thoughtfully, "What case does the document you asked Xia Chujian to sign involve?"
Zong Ruoan didn't expect Huo Yushen to ask this, so he had no choice but to answer, "It was at the Mulan City checkpoint. When their Night Hunter team was returning from the Exotic Beast Forest, Fan Chengcai took a fancy to their combat aircraft. He then…made up a pretext, saying they were colluding with the humanoid riots, hoping to force a confession out of them."
"I happened to be there at the time. If I hadn't gone down, Xia Chujian would have been... killed by them." Zong Ruoan said it more implicitly.
Huo Yushen showed no reaction and asked, "Did Fan Chengcai use the people from the Punishment Department to attack that team?"
Zong Ruoan shook his head, then nodded and said, "Fan Chengcai used his subordinates in the Punishment Department to attack, but he still knew his limits. In the Dark Night Hunter team, only Xia Chujian was an ordinary person and had no mental power, so they only attacked her. The other four were all genetically evolved and were not hurt. Therefore, she was beaten the worst..."
Huo Yushen suddenly seemed interested: "...Is there any surveillance video?"
Zong Ruoan had no choice but to retrieve the recovered surveillance video and show it to Huo Yushen, explaining, "This was recovered because Fan Chengcai turned off the surveillance at the time."
Huo Yushen watched intently the entire process of Xia Chujian being beaten, waking up, and then resisting on the virtual video.
"...Fan Chengcai used a humanoid to attack normal humans?" Huo Yushen glanced at Zong Ruoan, "Isn't this Fan Chengcai's fault?"
Zong Ruoan smiled bitterly. "According to Imperial law, humanoids attacking humans is indeed a capital crime. The problem is, Xia Chujian has already beaten these humanoids to death. The Fan family is aristocratic after all, and they even hired a very famous lawyer from the Quan family to appeal on his behalf during the internal review. It is even more unlikely that the Mulan City Law Department will come forward to sue a nobleman on behalf of a commoner."
Huo Yushen said nothing more and turned away.
After he left, Zong Ruoan sat down exhausted, supporting his head with his hands, and did not leave the first-level conference room for the time being.
No wonder even within the Special Security Bureau, few people were willing to talk to Huo Yushen. He was simply too difficult to handle...
Zong Ruoan's secretary Lu Jianpeng came in.
"Colonel Zong, what's wrong with you?"
Zong Ruoan murmured, "Give me a glass of water."
Lu Jianpeng hurriedly took out bottles of water from the refrigerator in the conference room and gave them to him.
Zong Ruoan unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half of it in one breath before wiping his mouth with a tissue and saying, "...Apeng, I was really wrong..."
"What's wrong?" Lu Jianpeng was confused.
Zong Ruoan whispered, "I always thought I was no worse than Inspector Huo. I went to a better university than Inspector Huo, and my family background is better than his. I'm the same age as him, both twenty-seven this year. Why is he two levels higher in rank than me? - It wasn't until today that I understood why."
Lu Jianpeng was startled and looked around quickly. He was relieved when he was sure that they were in the first-level conference room and the door of the conference room was closed. No one could hear them talking.
He straightened his tightly buttoned collar and whispered, "Master Zong, you are a true descendant of an aristocratic family, and the eldest son of the eldest princess. You will inherit the entire Zong clan in the future. Why do you have to come to this place?"
