"This matter cannot be explained in a few words over the phone. How about I invite you to come to our temporary office?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer the question, then thought for a moment and said to Sun Yue.
"Okay, when and where?"
Sun Yue was also very curious. Since the inspection team arrived, only a few people knew their office location, and no one knew what they were doing or what their purpose was. Without thinking, she immediately agreed.
"Sentence Square, the apartment building on the third floor behind it. I'll come down to meet you when you arrive. Let's set the time for tonight."
Hearing that Sun Yue wanted to come, the other party was very happy and told Sun Yue the confidential address, seemingly eager to see her.
"Okay, I'll come over after I get off work. I'll call you when I get there."
After hearing the address given by the other party, Sun Yue didn't suspect anything. She checked the time and spoke to the other party.
He hung up the phone after saying that. The person on the other end also put down their phone.
"Team Leader An, is Sun Yue coming?"
One of the group members came over. He had been listening nearby and knew that the group leader was on the phone with Sun Yue. He overheard the conversation and told Sun Yue the address. Then he smiled and asked the group leader a question.
"Yes, that's right. Everyone, please tidy up properly so that Sun Yue can have a good look at us when she arrives."
The person who called Sun Yue was the leader of the inspection team. Looking at the five team members who were left in the room, he smiled and spoke to them.
Old Wu's death had also caught the attention of the inspection team. They felt that the timing of the car accident was too coincidental, so they thoroughly investigated the inspection team and found many people who had been planted by others. They also discovered that someone had tampered with the mailbox and purged all the suspicious people.
The team is currently short-handed, otherwise they wouldn't have recruited Sun Yue to help out and also sought collaboration with Lu Fan.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lu?"
The team leader thought for a moment, then picked up the phone, dialed Lu Fan's number, and asked the question on the other end of the line.
"Who are you?"
Lu Fan, who was chatting with his family, saw someone calling him. The number looked unfamiliar, but the voice sounded familiar, so he asked the caller uncertainly.
"We talked on the phone a while ago, and now you've forgotten about me."
Team Leader An smiled and then said to Lu Fan.
Upon hearing that the other party was the inspection team, Lu Fan glanced at Jiang Manyue and the others, then walked out of the living room and found a secluded spot.
"Why are you calling me? Is Sun Yue not good enough?"
In fact, the inspection team initially only looked for Lu Fan. Lu Fan was not a member of the four major families, but he still had the ability to contend with them. Most importantly, they valued Lu Fan's character and he was the inspection team's first choice.
He was only busy rescuing Jiang Manyue before introducing Sun Yue to the inspection team. When the inspection team called at this time, Lu Fan thought that the person he introduced was not good, and asked them in confusion.
“Okay, that’s perfect. Sun Yue is coming over tonight, and I think you should come too, so we can discuss things together.”
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, the inspection team quickly explained the purpose of the call to him.
"I'm having dinner with my family tonight."
After listening to Team Leader An's words, Lu Fan looked at the lively family and replied somewhat embarrassedly to Team Leader An.
"Okay, then let's reschedule for another day."
Team Leader An knew that Lu Fan's wife had been rescued and that the two still needed to spend some more time together, so he didn't make any further requests.
"Thank you for your understanding. I also want to thank Team Leader An on behalf of my Jiang Manyue for asking people to help find her."
In fact, Lu Fan had always known that Team Leader An was helping behind the scenes, and he had asked his subordinates. They said that they had received the information suddenly, so after analysis, they concluded that only the inspection team had the capability.
"Hahaha, nothing can be hidden from President Lu. We have a cooperative relationship. As long as you don't break the law, I think we will definitely have a pleasant cooperation."
However, the inspection team also explained their bottom line to Lu Fan: although they were cooperating with Lu Fan, anything that violated the regulations was absolutely unacceptable.
"There's another matter, regarding my younger brother Lu Yi. Do you have any solutions on your end?"
Actually, Lu Fan didn't have to agree to the patrol team's request, but considering that Lu Yi was still wanted, if he wanted to save him, he could only ask someone for help. The only one with that ability was the patrol team, which he had mentioned before.
However, the other party kept giving ambiguous answers. This time, Lu Fan couldn't wait any longer and asked Team Leader An again.
“Your brother’s case is difficult to handle. Only by finding the real murderer in the police station who killed Officer Wu can your brother be exonerated. If you are afraid that your brother will be caught, then let him come to our patrol team.”
When Lu Fan mentioned Lu Yi, Team Leader An looked troubled. Lu Yi's case was the midpoint of the power struggle. Only by catching the culprits could Lu Yi be exonerated. Right now, the inspection team couldn't exonerate Lu Yi either.
Knowing that Lu Fan was worried about Lu Yi being arrested by the police, she thought for a moment and said to Lu Fan.
“Team Leader An, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but if Lu Yi is discovered by you, can you really protect a wanted criminal? You should let him continue to hide.”
Lu Fan shook his head at Team Leader An's suggestion and asked him a question. After hearing that there was no response from Team Leader An, he sneered and said to Team Leader An.
"Okay, if your brother gets caught, I will definitely save his life."
Team Leader An remained silent for more than ten seconds. He knew very well what the consequences would be if Lu Yi were caught. The real culprits behind the scenes would definitely use Lu Yi as a scapegoat. Hearing Lu Fan's distrust, Team Leader An had nothing to say. Indeed, as Lu Fan said, the only thing to do then was to protect himself.
Let's talk about that later.
When Team Leader An said he could save Lu Yi's life, Lu Fan didn't want to say anything, since they would only know for sure when the time came.
"Lu Fan, what are you doing? Come and eat!"
Just as Lu Fan was on the phone, his family had finished preparing the meal. Lu's mother, not seeing Lu Fan in the living room, called out to him loudly.
"I'm here, I'll stop talking now."
Lu Fan responded to his mother while on the phone, said something to Team Leader An on the other end of the line, and then hung up.
Is Lu Fan coming?
The inspection team members finished packing and sat down, noticing that Team Leader An's expression wasn't good.
"I didn't force Lu Fan to come, since it was such a rare opportunity for him to be reunited with his family."
Team Leader An shook his head at everyone's words and said with a solemn expression.
