Jiang Bin immediately touched his feet together and stood at attention.
"Hello, Uncle Xing. That bastard Xing Haodong is drunk and unconscious. How about..."
"Dad, it's me. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Xing Haodong snatched the mobile phone back and stood straight. "What instructions do you have?"
Xing Yi's voice was deep and heavy, with a force that could penetrate the back of the paper: "You've grown wings, kid, and dare to disobey orders, right?"
"What are you talking about? How dare I..."
"You even dared to secretly mobilize troops without telling me! What else are you afraid of? And why didn't you call Director Hu without informing me? Are you so unscrupulous just because Uncle Hu held you in his arms when you were a child? Did the leaders appoint you to such an important position just so you could abuse your power for personal gain?"
Xing Haodong remained calm and composed, saying, "I didn't abuse my power for personal gain. I asked Director Hu to intervene to intimidate Bai Dingxian and ensure he enforced the law impartially. I mobilized the troops to eliminate the source of the problem and catch Zhou Kui off guard as quickly as possible."
"How dare you say that? Who promised you that we would conduct a secret investigation and not alert the enemy, and that we would wipe out the entire tomb-robbing gang in one fell swoop?" Xing Yi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. "Do you still remember what you promised me before leaving Beijing?"
"Of course I remember, but this is a different time. As a commander, I need to adapt to the changing circumstances." Xing Haodong explained calmly, "Listen, alerting the enemy is certainly disadvantageous, but given the current situation, it may not be a bad thing."
Xing Yi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xing Haodong said slowly, "Zhou Kui's cousin-in-law, Yan Laoer, the central figure in this case, is a core figure in Zhou Kui's group. According to our previous plan, we really shouldn't have touched him so early. However, he attempted to rape a woman. If such a crime goes unpunished, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"It's indeed despicable, but you can choose to protect the victim and then..."
Xing Haodong interrupted coldly, "The grassroots police force is already insufficient, how can we protect them? Dad, you've never been here, so you don't know how horrific the methods tomb robbers use to retaliate against the people. After my recent visits and investigations, I've discovered that this group of people are beasts, and their crimes are beyond imagination. If Yan Lao Er is released, he will definitely find ways to take revenge on the victims, not to mention that he has already ruined more than one girl before!"
Xing Yi was stunned.
"He's just Zhou Kui's brother-in-law, yet he dares to be so arrogant. Aren't Zhou Kui's immediate family members even more lawless?"
Xing Haodong sighed solemnly, "So, Yan Lao Er absolutely cannot be released. Since we've already alerted the enemy, we might as well let Zhou Kui know that I've set up mortars and telescopes around him. If he dares to bend the law for personal gain and allow his subordinates to smuggle, I can shoot him at any time."
"What if he stops now?" Xing Yi asked worriedly.
Xing Haodong said without hesitation, "Impossible. Zhou Kui has been a tyrant in the Divine Capital for so many years. He's used to being tyrannical and flattered. I can tolerate him for a few days, but I can't ask him to endure it for months or even years. Besides, I made him suffer such a great loss this time. With his vengeful nature, he will definitely find a way to recover his losses. As long as I have enough patience, I will definitely find something to hold him back."
If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.
Xing Yi's serious expression gradually softened when he heard this. "Okay, you've convinced me. Now that you've figured out your next plan, go for it."
"Yes, thank you, Dad!" Xing Haodong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard you met a girl recently?" Xing Yi's words made him nervous again. "Could it be this victim? Brat, I'm warning you, don't act rashly just because you sympathize with someone. If you're not dating her with the intention of marrying her, you'd better distance yourself from her now, understand?"
Xing Haodong scratched the tip of his ear helplessly, "No, don't listen to my sister's exaggeration."
"Is she really exaggerating? Humph, don't I know you? From childhood to adulthood, no matter how beautiful a girl is, you never even glance at her. This is the first time. If there is really nothing going on, would you take the initiative to call your sister?" Xing Yi seemed unconvinced.
Xing Haodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I just think she and I are quite compatible. Yan Lao Er is such a grown man, but she chopped off two taels of meat from the beast with just a flick of her knife. Isn't that impressive?"
Xing Yi was silent for a long time.
It took him a while to react and he gasped, "This is too much!"
"Really? So I admire her, respect her, and want to help her out more, what's wrong with that?" Xing Haodong lowered his eyes, then suddenly raised his lips. "You don't know, I ran into her once before in Jiangjiatun. She was holding a handful of nails, ready to confront the tomb robbers head-on. I was wondering, who could be so fierce?"
"Oh my, this girl is really tough, like a little tiger."
Xing Yi was relieved now. He was sure that Xing Haodong would not like a tigress. This girl should be a tomboy and would be a good friend.
"Then just treat her as your sister. It's no big deal if she helps you out a little in your life."
The call is finally over.
Jiang Bin immediately came over stealthily, imitating his previous tone: "I admire her, I respect her, and I want to help her more, what's wrong? You don't know, I met her once before in Jiangjiatun... Ouch!"
As expected, he was beaten by Xing Haodong again.
