The investigation team sighed. "Shutian, we know about Jiang Qiao's past. Now we're talking about whether she made any mistakes, and also about Jiang Jinyu's issues. It's not good for you to be so evasive."
We need to investigate thoroughly before drawing any conclusions. We've known each other for a long time, so don't put me in a difficult position. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have this attitude, really—”
Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "Lei Zi, you should know what kind of person I am after all these years. I can't talk nonsense about things I don't know."
Furthermore, you can't doubt your comrades who fight alongside you just because of some random whistleblower letter.
I strongly suspect that this damned whistleblower letter is a trap set by the enemy. Why? I don't need to explain, you all know. Recently, we've been chasing Cobra and the special envoy, which has already made them panic.
By doing this, you are undoubtedly helping the enemy. To put it nicely, you are fulfilling your duty; to put it bluntly, you are helping the enemy.
And Jiang Qiao, you'd better not touch her lightly. The reason she was able to join was because the leader personally appointed her.
Jiang Qiao has faced countless life-threatening situations for her work. The last time, she had an accident halfway through and almost lost her life. She was bedridden for four years before she woke up and was taken to the west. You all know what the situation is like there. Do you think there is something wrong with Jiang Qiao, or with Jiang Jinyu?
Also, if Jiang Qiao has any problems, you'd better report them to the leader. If he says that Jiang Qiao's actions are problematic, I won't say a word.
Although he was an old acquaintance, there were some things I had to say.
Moreover, Song Shutian was also at his wits' end with the current situation. He was being asked to write reports every day, but what was there to write?
They write a summary of each case they handle and submit it. If there are any problems, you can check the documents. Who has a good memory to remember every detail of the past? Isn't that nonsense?
Clearly, Sun Tianlei on the other side had noticed the change in Song Shutian's emotions.
“Shutian, I understand all of this, but you’re in this line of work, and some things require an investigation process, so don’t let your emotions get the better of you. It’s all for the sake of work.”
Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "You need time, and so do we. Do you know what the enemy is doing right now? Perhaps they are planning their next move. What do you think we should do? Just sit and wait for them to make their move?"
Sun Tianlei patted Song Shutian on the shoulder and said, "Shutian, even without you guys, there are other comrades doing this. It certainly won't delay the investigation."
Song Shutian sighed, frowned, and looked at the other person. "Other comrades also need time to familiarize themselves with the case, but what we lack most is time."
Our group has dealt with these people for so many years. We can't say we understand them, but we know their ways pretty well. If you change people halfway through, do you think that's a responsible thing to do?
Those enemies are not as simple as you think, otherwise we wouldn't have spent so much time.
Lei Zi, I'll say it again: I can stay, but you have the others finish their unfinished work.
Sun Tianlei shook his head. "This isn't up to me to decide."
Song Shutian snorted, "Then I have nothing more to say. I've said everything I needed to say. If any problems arise in the future, you'll be fully responsible."
Song Shutian was also a bachelor. Since you won't let us out, fine, then you can handle the rest yourselves. It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the situation. Let them face Cobra themselves. Otherwise, how will they know how powerful Cobra and his men are? Do you really think those who stayed behind are fools?
He wasn't trying to boost the enemy's morale while diminishing his own. Those people were all professionally trained. They had worked their way up step by step through experience. As Jiang Qiao said, they were self-taught, while the others were the ones with the proper training.
If these people don't hit a wall once, they really won't know their own limitations.
"You'd better watch yourselves."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at the other person, realizing that they couldn't see eye to eye.
He knew perfectly well what Lei Zi was here for—to persuade him to report Jiang Jinyu. Even if the old director did have all this nonsense, he would say what he should say and not say a word about what he shouldn't. He would keep quiet about anything unrelated to the case.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make, so it's better to say nothing. Although the person in front of him is an old acquaintance, he will not abandon his principles on key issues just because they are old acquaintances.
"Sigh, think it over carefully. The New Year is just around the corner. What, are you planning to spend the New Year here? Shutian, I won't hurt you."
Song Shutian waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to say. I've already said it, but you didn't believe me. So what else can I say? I'm just wishing you a Happy New Year in advance."
Seeing that Song Shutian really had no intention of continuing the conversation, Sun Tianlei had no choice but to leave.
After watching the other person leave, Song Shutian poured himself a glass of water and stood by the window looking outside.
He doesn't know when he'll be able to get out of here, and he can't even send a message to Jiang Qiao and the others.
He was worried that Jiang Qiao's side wouldn't be stable. That girl has a quick temper, and if she did something wrong, it would be terrible.
As he was pondering this, he saw two figures appear at the gate. Seeing his own father and Zhang Dalei's biological father, Song Shutian could hardly believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes hard, realizing that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him; his father really had come.
Despite his usual smiling demeanor, Song Zhanguo is a man of true temper when it comes to serious matters.
The old man was upset when he learned that his son had been detained and was not allowed to see any outsiders. He had inquired and found that his son had not done anything wrong.
If they make a mistake, whether it's a beating or a death sentence, he won't hesitate. After all, it's their fault as elders for not educating the children properly. Since they made a mistake, they have to accept the punishment.
But you're saying that his son was locked up because of some random whistleblower letter?
He can't accept or understand this. He knows his own son well, and he's probably even more anxious right now.
Sure enough, as soon as they met with Zhang Dalei's father, Old Zhang, the two fathers came over demanding Zhang's return.
Both families have good children. If you don't protect your own children, who will?
Therefore, Song Zhanguo and Comrade Lao Zhang went in and immediately asked the head of the work group for people.
Their reasoning was perfectly sound: "Tell me, what exactly did my son do wrong? Do you have any evidence? Do you have any witnesses? If you do, produce them all. If not, release him immediately."
