Chapter 759: Although You’re Her Guardian Angel
“Then, can you promise to tell me when you find out about the problem?” Mu Qiqi asked as she lay on Sheng Xiao’s lap again. “Over the past few years, I’ve always believed in you, respected you, relied on you, and received your meticulous care. However, sometimes, I also want you to treat me as an equal instead of treating me like a child.”
Sheng Xiao lowered his head to look at Mu Qiqi and realized that she had been thinking more and more about this recently. However, it was developing in a good direction, so he nodded. “Forget it. I’m definitely not used to you not making worry. As long as the professor really needs you, I won’t stop him.”
“You promised me. Don’t go back on your word!”
Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s hand and rolled his eyes at her. “When have I ever gone back on my word?”
That was true. Mu Qiqi was relieved. She returned to the dining table and ate breakfast seriously.
However, Mu Qiqi had been peeking at Sheng Xiao the entire time they had. She did not know why this man was so good-looking, and no matter how she looked at him, she did not get tired of him.
Sheng Xiao knew that she was burning with pa.s.sion, so he did not interfere. It was fine since it was her own matter. But if it were anyone else, how would they have the guts to do so?
..
After breakfast, Tang Yan went to the branch office for a meeting. However, before he could enter the office, Old Cheng came up to him with a frown. “Captain Tang, the chief wants you at his office.”
Tang Yan nodded. He had sort of guessed it might be because of the business card he had picked up.
“Tang Yan, Changrong’s staff suicide case, hurry up and close it. I have a new case here that I need you to handle right away.”
Tang Yan took out the card and placed it on the bureau chief’s desk. “Although I don’t know if Changrong’s previous three suicides were because of this, I’m sure that all suicides are inextricably linked. Moreover, there will be a murder case soon.”
The bureau chief was stunned when he saw the business card.
“If you want to be a muddle-headed person, I can be a muddle-headed person too. However, I’m starting to doubt why I’m wearing this police uniform. Many years ago, the prisoners that I sent to prison are now eyeing my family and even my lover. However, I have never regretted it because I know that I did the right thing.
“But now, I’ve seen too much. I know that the real culprit is at large, and I know that the victim is innocent. But what can a criminal police officer like me do?”
“If you insist on ending the suicide case, then I have no attachment to this police uniform.” After saying that, Tang Yan turned around and wanted to leave the chief’s office, but was stopped.
“Stop! Are you speaking in human language?” The bureau chief was angry. “Do you think that you’re the only one who feels uncomfortable? I’ve been in the police force for more than thirty years and have arrested countless criminals. I also want to catch all the criminals in this world, but our strength is insufficient.”
“Then there’s nothing to say!”
“Wait.” The bureau chief stood up and blocked Tang Yan’s way. “If I allow you to investigate the case, how long will it take for you to give me a satisfactory answer?”
Tang Yan shook his head. “Chief, I can’t give you any guarantees.”
The bureau chief took a deep breath and finally slammed the table hard. “I’ll give you a week’s time because I can only withstand the pressure of a week. Let’s see how far you can go first.”
“Thank you, Chief.”
“Take the thing back, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” The bureau chief gritted his teeth because he knew what it meant to allow Tang Yan to conduct a joint investigation.
Tang Yan took back the business card and returned to the conference room. He immediately called for a meeting.
The suicide of the young girl and the physical evidence that Sheng Kai had used to frame Huang Yao… Tang Yan planned to find some connections and investigate them together because he always felt that the people behind everything were the same group!
Of course, before the meeting, Tang Yan gave Sheng Xiao a call in advance.
“What’s up?”
“I always feel that investigating the Changrong Electronics case is shaking the volcano and is fraught with danger. Can we borrow CEO Sheng’s financial resources to set up a security system? There are some things that the police can’t do.”
Tang Yan spoke so directly, so Sheng Xiao naturally understood. That idiot, Sheng Kai, probably had no idea what kind of trap he had fallen into. Not only did he become someone else’s chess piece, he even wanted to drag the Sheng family and Zhongteng down with him.
Moreover, Zhongteng’s current growth was inextricably linked to the Sheng family and was already feared by many people. Even if Sheng Kai did not act as the “middleman”, it was likely that someone would find trouble with him soon.
“I’ve said it before. I’ll increase my investment in this area. If you need manpower or financial resources, just say the word. I’ve already prepared the fund. Is one billion enough?”
“President Sheng is generous, but I need people more than funding, people like Xu Che.”
“With money, are you afraid that you won’t be able to hire people?” Sheng Xiao chuckled. Originally, he only wanted to be a pure businessman. However, after interacting with Secretary He for a long time, he understood one thing. He was in the military industry. Now that the Sheng family of Jianchuan was in charge, things could go smoothly. However, after a few years, he would be in the way of the new leader. Many people would come looking for him to settle scores.
“There’s one more thing. I want to borrow Qiqi.”
Upon hearing Tang Yan’s request, Sheng Xiao smiled. “Why?”
He thought that only the professor would need Qiqi. He did not expect Tang Yan to need her skills as well.
“Xiao Qiqi’s observation skills are different from ordinary people. It’s a pity that she’s only a forensic doctor. She’s good enough to be a criminal police officer. Although you’re her guardian angel, you can’t deny that she has this ability.”
Tang Yan’s words were much more convincing than the little one’s.
Of course, Sheng Xiao naturally relented when he heard that.
“I don’t have any other requests. You have to ensure her safety.”
After the two of them spoke, they hung up. Then, Tang Yan returned to his office and went through the case with everyone.
At noon, Mu Qiqi received a call from the professor. She was so happy that she almost flew into the air. Even so, Mu Qiqi still gave Sheng Xiao a call to ask for his opinion.
“Go ahead.” Sheng Xiao was a man of his word.
After that, Mu Qiqi was “lent” out again. The students from the Faculty of Forensic Science were rather critical of her, but who asked them to not attend cla.s.ses properly and had barely pa.s.sing grades?
“Don’t be jealous. Mu Qiqi went to work as a forensic a.s.sistant. She’s handled so many cases and acc.u.mulated so much experience that you all do not have. And you’re still hoping that she will fail her course?
“With practical experience, why would she fail?”
However, the students still indignantly discussed her. Mu Qiqi did not know about it at all.
She was just so happy that she could partic.i.p.ate in the case.
