Having obtained accurate intelligence, Li Xiao's team went out in all directions and captured the killers of the "Black Dragon" organization within Starzhou City one after another, without encountering any obstacles during the process.
Facing the sudden surprise attack by the elite Security Bureau's rapid response team, the killers had almost no room for resistance. Watching the fish that slipped through the net being caught one after another, Ying Xiaoli was in a good mood, but the only fly in the ointment was these
The killer using the high-frequency dagger was not found among the people.
The killer was the murderer who caused the destruction of Shafferman's team. Ying Xiaoli ordered Li Xiao's team to find and arrest this person as soon as possible. Then she completely delegated the command of the on-site operations to the acting captain Li Xiao, and she herself also
You need to go to the Supreme Council to participate in daily affairs, and you cannot always stay in the command room of the rapid response department.
Before leaving the Security Bureau, Ying Xiaoli went to the upper-level office to visit An Zhitian. The director-general is still under semi-suspended investigation and can only stay in the office doing nothing. This abnormal state will continue until
Until the Supreme Council seals the coffin and makes a final decision.
In An Zhitian's office, Xia Qin, the restored android secretary, stands against the wall. When she is not on duty, she wears the same red civilian uniform as Yi Guang.
Facing Ying Xiaoli's arrival, An Zhitian seemed a little surprised, because he believed that in order to maintain the fairness of the Supreme Council, Ying Xiaoli, as the supreme arbiter, should avoid private contact with him alone at this time.
However, Ying Xiaoli said that she came here to discuss work with An Zhitian, that is, to report on the investigation progress of the "Serial Attack Case in the Fog".
"With the unremitting efforts of Li Xiao's team and the great help of Yu Zhesen, the case has been basically solved." Ying Xiaoli praised Yu Zhesen's outstanding performance in person to An Zhitian, "Currently, the bandit leader of the 'Black Dragon' organization has been captured. Targeting him
The operations to close down the remaining members of the organization are also proceeding in an orderly manner, and I believe that it won’t be long before this organization can be completely dismantled.”
"As for the previous attack on you, Director-General, we have obtained evidence that Congressman Ling Genshi participated in the planning, and the 'Black Dragon' was responsible for the actual operation. However, given that Congressman Ling surrendered and reported it, a lighter sentence may be considered in the future."
Ying Xiaoli used a more euphemistic expression here. In fact, she didn't have much hope in punishing Ling Genshi. The reason why she informed An Zhitian here was just to give him a reminder.
An Zhitian understood her subtext and did not show any dissatisfaction. He said calmly: "It is the responsibility of the trial court to decide the final sentence. I have no objection."
"Okay, please be patient for a few more days, and I will try my best to fight for it from the parliament." Ying Xiaoli made a promise to An Zhitian.
The essence of playing politics is throwing dirt on each other and exchanging benefits. The part of throwing dirt on each other has almost passed. Neither side can completely crush their opponents, so it will naturally transition to the stage of interest exchange.
Ying Xiaoli's mention of Ling Genshi's lenient punishment just now was actually a test of An Zhitian's attitude. If An Zhitian firmly stated that Ling Genshi must be severely sentenced to exile, then it would be difficult for her to fight with "Huanghuang" and others.
Negotiation. Although "Brilliant" may not care about the life or death of a parliamentary supporter, if our side can generously let Ling Genshi go, I believe the other side can also correctly receive this signal of goodwill.
"What do you think of that kid from Arsenal?" An Zhitian changed the subject and suddenly asked Ying Xiaoli what she thought of Yu Zhesen.
Ying Xiaoli was slightly startled, and quickly replied: "Of course he is very good, and he is worthy of being the talent you have trained."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I don't think I have much nurturing kindness for him." An Zhitian smiled bitterly, and said with some regret and regret: "I spent too much time and energy on revenge against the Guilin sect.
I can’t say that I have much care for my children.”
"He is originally a descendant of heroes, and you have you as a role model, and Miss An He is also one of the top talents in the Security Bureau. With such excellent genes and environmental soil, it is basically destined by God that he will grow into a new generation of heroes.
.”
Ying Xiaoli paused here, as if because she felt that she had said too many flattering words, and then added: "The only thing I'm worried about is his young man's personality. Starzhou City is an Iron Dome civilization.
The most shining lighthouse, but its light is not something that everyone can bear."
An Zhitian didn't say anything, and looked ahead in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ying Xiaoli gently touched the ring on her ring finger with the tip of her index finger: "You understand what I mean, so I hope you can stay. Even if you don't have to fight the Returned Sect for the time being, I hope you can continue to stay.
Do something meaningful."
"What is meaningful?" An Zhitian asked without looking at her, looking at the rows of medals and banners on the bookcase opposite the desk, "I have tried many times in the past twenty years to do something for the Security Bureau.
To be precise, I want to do something for the people who will come after me. The goal I set for myself is to defeat the Adventist sect and then retreat from the front line. I have been looking forward to this day, and now... I have barely achieved it.
Right. So it’s not completely unacceptable to me if they want me to leave."
Ying Xiaoli opened her mouth and looked a little surprised, but she did not speak, but kept quiet and let An Zhitian continue.
"Then I discovered a very strange thing. Whenever I want to accomplish one thing, I often have to compromise on one or two other things."
"Do you want to say, one step forward, two steps back?"
"No, it's like filling in a piece of white paper full of grids. If I fill in one red grid, two black grids will automatically pop up elsewhere." An Zhitian smiled, "Eventually the entire paper will be filled.
At that time, the reds only accounted for a minority, and over time they may be assimilated by the adjacent blacks.”
Ying Xiaoli nodded silently. She knew that An Zhitian was talking about the corruption within the Iron Dome Order, and she also realized that these words were a satire on her previous talk about dealing with Ling Genshi, but this was reality and there was nothing to refute.
"In the summer, I took leave and went to Qidao City because I couldn't stand the nonsense of the council. Although the entire vacation plan was disrupted by various accidents, overall, it is still much more leisurely here than in Starzhou City."
An Zhitian recalled his previous trip to Qidao City in a joking tone, "I saw students and children who were able to take care of themselves there, and witnessed their outstanding performance in handling crises in the urban area. At that time, I had a feeling
Thoughts of retirement.”
"This is not possible, Director-General." Ying Xiaoli was worried that he was really thinking about quitting, so she quickly dissuaded him: "The Returned Sect has disappeared in Fuxing City, but that doesn't mean it won't come back. If we can't
In the detected distant areas, they may be recuperating and accumulating strength."
"I didn't say I planned to retire now." An Zhitian showed a sinister expression, "I just want to tell you that if we never change the way of doing things, which is one red and two black, the more we do, the more we do.
It will be closer to destruction. It doesn’t matter if we let Ling Genshi go, for me personally it doesn’t matter if he has another enemy, but the order we protect will be one step closer to collapse."
Ying Xiaoli leaned back slightly, raised her chin slightly and took a deep breath before asking: "So this is your true attitude - won't you give in and compromise this time? You are threatening me. If I can't keep pace with you,
You will give up on your own initiative..."
"You can think about it slowly." An Zhitian did not force her, "or come up with better reasons to convince me."
