Chapter 174 Old Xia



"The 303 Bureau and Xia Weiwei are very close, so I'm not afraid of being investigated by the supervisory authorities anymore. Let me tell you this: her father is the founder of the 303 Bureau."

The teapot in Gao Ang's hand conveniently fell to the ground.

With a "crack," it shattered into pieces.

The three Chitose brothers began to feel sorry for each other:

"Wow, the gentleman really went all out for this performance!" The third brother said, adopting a spectator's mentality.

"I bought this teapot online; it cost me tens of thousands of yuan." Qian Sui also had a toothache, even though he had no teeth.

"Trick her into a stupor." The second brother was as cunning as ever.

Gao Ang forced a smile; he almost burst out laughing at the three brothers' conversation.

He quickly looked down at the shards of metal scattered on the floor. "Chisui, come and clean this up."

"Coming, sir."

Xu Qing watched with curiosity as Qian Sui busied herself around, just like a housekeeping robot.

She had been traumatized by being surrounded by those metal lumps last time, and now seeing him acting like a nanny, she felt her worldview was being challenged.

However, because there were more important things to do, she suppressed her curiosity.

"No, are you kidding me? Xia Weiwei's father is just a little rich, how is he connected to your Bureau 303?"

Gao Feng wasn't faking it; he was genuinely curious and puzzled.

Although Bureau 303 does not have law enforcement power, it is still an agency established with the approval of higher authorities.

Among numerous government agencies, it still holds considerable weight and influence.

This unusual organization was actually created by a businessman?

“I’m not entirely sure of the reasons, but that’s the truth, which is why I want to know what your relationship with Xia Weiwei is.”

"Is this question important?"

"Very important."

"I already told you, it's just a normal relationship."

He spread his hands, feeling helpless. "Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?"

"Mr. Gao, your answer puts me in a difficult position."

"Miss Xu, let's stop beating around the bush and just get straight to the point. What is the purpose of your visit today?"

After cleaning up the trash, Qian Sui replaced Gao Gao's tea set with a new one.

Given his immense destructive power, he would make several sets of almost everything.

"The higher-ups intend to recruit you into Bureau 303, which is why they value your relationship with Xia Weiwei so much."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ang suddenly realized, "What if there's a connection?"

"Then you won't be absorbed by Bureau 303."

Why?

Gao Ang was taken aback. According to his understanding, Xia Weiwei's father had a very strong relationship with Bureau 303. If he had a relationship with Xia Weiwei, wouldn't he be considered a nepotism case?

It's illogical that someone with connections isn't qualified to join Bureau 303.

"Because we have already recruited Xia Weiwei as a reserve member of Bureau 303, and Bureau 303 has an unwritten rule that only one person from a close relationship can join Bureau 303. And I myself am Xia Weiwei's recommender."

Gao Feng is now in a dilemma; he doesn't want to join this damn 303 Bureau.

But he has no relationship with Xia Weiwei, so does that mean he's already being watched by Bureau 303?

"Well, let's just say we're related."

Anyway, I don't want to join your 303rd Bureau. Gao Yang didn't say this to Xu Qing's face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing raised an eyebrow. "Judging from your tone, it seems you don't want to join us?"

Nonsense, isn't it good that I'm free and independent? Why would I want to be with you guys every day? Isn't that just making myself uncomfortable?

"Oh dear, you big and powerful families, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't care about that. Let's just live our own lives peacefully, that's fine."

It's not a good idea to give a direct and firm refusal; you still need to say the polite things that are appropriate.

"So, you're saying you came all this way just for this?"

"Well, the main reason is that you've been making quite a stir lately. Our idea is to bring you in, which would be like giving you a semi-official status. It would be more beneficial than harmful to you and your family," Xu Qing continued to persuade.

Hearing her say that, Gao Ang was still a little curious about the benefits of Bureau 303, "What kind of benefits does Bureau 303 offer? Do you have the five social insurances and one housing fund?"

"..." Xu Qing was both amused and exasperated. "You still care about these things? We can protect your safety, and you're already thinking about social insurance and housing fund?"

Waving his hand, Gao Ang also felt a little embarrassed. "It was just a casual question, don't mind it. Miss Xu, since you've been so frank, let me ask you a question too. How exactly did Xia Weiwei's father, Mr. Xia Jiancheng, die?"

Xu Qing stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered. "A car accident? Haven't they reported on it?"

"A car accident? No way, a car accident can blow people up to dust? There wasn't a single survivor at the scene?" Gao Ang continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, the information I received was indeed a car accident."

"So, you don't actually know the specific cause of Xia Jiancheng's death?"

Xu Qing didn't answer directly, but leaned back on the sofa, as if she was recalling something.

"I am a senior employee of Bureau 303. All I know is that Mr. Xia Jiancheng is our founder. All the operating funds of Bureau 303 are provided by him, including the current ones. Mr. Xia is an investment genius. Since the reform and opening up, he resolutely abandoned politics and went into business. He has businesses all over the country."

His investment experience could fill a book. If his experiences were made public, even Buffett and Bill Gates would pale in comparison.

It can be said that Mr. Xia single-handedly carried the banner of the rapid development of contemporary capital in Dongguo.

Moreover, Mr. Xia not only shines in the capital field, but he also plays a pivotal role in breaking through the bottlenecks of contemporary technology in Dongguo.

We had our doubts about Mr. Xia's passing, but he left in such a hurry that by the time our people arrived at the scene... it was too late.

Xu Qing was much more depressed, which showed that Xia Jiancheng still held considerable authority within the 303 Bureau.

Even though he has been gone for so many years, these people still remember his kindness.

This made Gao Ang even more curious about the founder of Bureau 303, and he really wanted to know what exactly happened back then.

"Actually, I also investigated this accident by chance. Of course, I didn't go to the scene. I just went to investigate the people and things related to Mr. Xia out of curiosity and found some interesting things."

"What did you find out?" Xu Qing suddenly became somewhat sensitive, and his brows furrowed.

"We found several people and also discovered some funds."

Gao Ang didn't explain it very clearly; what he was thinking was to see if he could get something out of Xu Qing.

How did you find out?

"Don't forget, I'm the one who created Dragon Brain No. 1."

Xu Qing suddenly realized and nodded. "There shouldn't be any problems with the funding. I can't go into specifics, but what do you mean by the people you mentioned?"

Gao Feng nodded in understanding. He and Qian Sui had discovered something unusual when they were investigating those funds.

Who has the ability to withdraw tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in cash from a bank?

If it's a requirement from Bureau 303, then everything makes sense.

Special departments do rely on cash in some areas, whether it's through informants or underground transactions. Using bank accounts would leave too many traces that could be tracked down.

"Of the six people, three died, one went insane, one escaped, and one went missing."

Gao Ang stared intently at Xu Qing, but to his disappointment, the woman seemed to know absolutely nothing about it.

Xu Qing frowned, seemingly genuinely, "Is it all related to Mr. Xia?"

"You didn't investigate these leads?"

Gao Feng countered with a question.

“No,” Xu Qing shook his head. “We don’t have law enforcement power. We only saw the reports from the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau regarding Mr. Xia’s case. We only have suspicions, but we can’t order the bureau to do anything. Their final report didn’t mention the people you mentioned, but this case is still not closed. Could it be that there’s something else going on here?”

Xu Qing wasn't stupid. If what Gao Ang said was true, then the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau must be hiding something.

If even Gao Feng could easily find these clues, it's impossible that the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau knew nothing about them.

"Your Excellency, bring over the information on those people and let Miss Xu take a look."

Xu Qing took the documents from Qian Sui and immediately began to read them carefully.

This took almost half an hour to look at, because the information about these people was just too bizarre.

Let's leave aside the three who died. Although the causes of death were varied and bizarre, they were already dead, so investigating them wouldn't be of much use.

There are far too many suspicious points surrounding the two surviving individuals and the missing person.

Just as Gao Feng had suspected before, why was he admitted to a mental hospital, and who were the people monitoring him?

The people monitoring him were definitely not sent by Bureau 303 or other relevant departments.

The person who fled to the mountain kingdom is even more suspicious. Why would he go to the mountain kingdom without making a sound? He didn't break the law or do anything shameful.

Furthermore, why would the mountain kingdom send people to protect him? Given that level of security, ordinary people simply wouldn't be qualified.

Finally, the driver disappeared as if he had vanished into thin air.

"Can I take these documents back with me?" Xu Qing asked, shaking the documents in his hand with a worried expression.

"Of course, it's not a secret. If I were to be involved in any of your internal secrets, please let me know in advance and I'll definitely keep quiet."

After saying that, Gao Ang made a zipping motion.

Xu Qing rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry, you have the right to know what I know. If you're being silenced, I won't be any better off."

After saying that, he organized the documents and carefully put them into his briefcase.

With such an important discovery, Xu Qing no longer had any intention of recruiting Gao Feng.

She had to report this important information as soon as possible. If the captain or even the director knew about it, they might be able to reopen the case of Mr. Xia's murder.

From that moment on, Xu Qing also began to believe that there must be other unknown secrets behind Xia Jiancheng's death.

Gao Ang escorted Xu Qing to Changming Island. As he left, Xu Qing gave him a complicated look. "Mr. Gao, thank you for providing this information. I am now informing you on behalf of Bureau 303 that you will no longer be on our surveillance list. I hope you can uphold a sincere heart and work for the benefit of the country!"

"Serving the country is a given, but there's a problem. Why are you monitoring me? Just because of the few gadgets I made?"

Gao Feng pretended not to understand and asked in confusion.

"...Well, I guess so. Actually... never mind, what's past is past. I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the future. If there are any new discoveries about meteorites, I hope you can share them with us in a timely manner."

Xu Qing originally planned to scam Gao Yuan one last time.

Unexpectedly, the other party saw through him in a matter of minutes, or rather, was he really alright?

Xu Qing suppressed her last doubts, leaving only a seed deep within her heart.

Back at the Kyoto group base, Xu Qing carefully reviewed the document again before finally picking up the phone to submit his performance review application to his superiors.

After seeing Xu Qing off, Gao Ang originally intended to have Qian Sui track her down or search for this woman's private information.

But after arguing with himself for a long time, he finally gave up the idea.

He had already crossed the line once before because of Liu Guangqi's disappearance, by privately investigating the relevant departments' entry and exit records.

This kind of thing can be addictive, especially after you learn secrets that others don't know.

They either have a strong desire to vent, which is commonly known as gossip; or they have a strong curiosity to explore more secrets.

He's not worried about the former, as he's not a big mouth; but he has to be careful about the latter, since there's a saying: curiosity killed the cat.

"Sir, the materials you requested are ready."

Chitose walked over with a thick stack of printed documents.

"Send an electronic copy to the International Criminal Court, and also arrange for SF Express to send these printed documents there. Then, find a few foreign Twitter accounts, the kind with big influencers, preferably with millions of followers, and borrow their privileges to make this a big deal for me."

Of course, we're not using their account for nothing. There's still a lot of gold in the account, right? We can exchange it for some Bitcoin, and how you give it to them is your business.

"Don't worry, sir, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Seeing Qian Sui turn to leave, Gao Ang quickly grabbed him. "I'll send out these documents. You three brothers can go and do other things. But remember, don't go too far, don't be too free, don't leave any traces, don't show any bias, and don't expose that island base. You have to do it perfectly, understand?"

How could the emperor not understand his meaning? The most important thing was that the fire couldn't be spread to the Eastern Kingdom.

With an "OK" sign, Qian Sui happily went upstairs, where he and his second and third brothers would be the main battleground.

Gao Feng then took the information and boarded the motorboat.

Sending a package to Changming Island was one purpose; another purpose was to see how his research institute villa was progressing.

He had just gotten off the jet ski and hadn't even had a chance to say hello to Section Chief Zhang when a message from Qian Sui called him back.
