Chapter 218 -217 I’m Having Such a Hard Time (Reward for Extra Chapter)

All eyes in the meeting room turned toward the two men.

Zhao Liqian looked at Gou Donghai and said indifferently, “I believe the merit of saving a dozen Abnormal Administration Bureau agents and thwarting the Holy Origin Society’s plot in our city is enough to offset the matter you mentioned.”

Gou Donghai sneered and looked at Zhao Liqian with amusement, “Everyone says Director Zhao is fair and strict, but I didn’t expect even you would shield someone. Well then, I must ask, you say he helped subdue the remnants of the Holy Origin Society, so where is the evidence? Where are the captured remnants of the Holy Origin Society?”

“Casualties are inevitable in combat. Or are you suggesting, Vice Mayor Gou, that those people should not have been killed?” Zhao Liqian retorted, looking him straight in the eye.

“Enough.”

Seeing the tension escalating between the two, Feng Yaohua spoke up to stop their argument.

He looked at Zhao Liqian, “I’ve heard that the young man has a good relationship with Chen Zhenglong.”

Zhao Liqian was taken aback and opened his mouth to speak, aware that Feng Yaohua’s comment, while seemingly about the relationship between Shao Zifeng and Chen Zhenglong, was actually referring to his own relationship with Chen Zhenglong.

Feng Yaohua waved his hand, “Don’t overthink it. Since this matter involves the Holy Origin Society, it indeed needs to be thoroughly investigated. We wouldn’t want to wrong a good person.”

“By the way, where is that Shao Zifeng’s classmate now?”

Zhao Liqian pursed his lips, feeling a sense of powerlessness. The situation was no longer under his control, even though he had already tried his best to speak favorably for Shao Zifeng. But from what Feng Yaohua was implying, it seemed he was preparing to detain Shao Zifeng first.

After a moment of silence, he said, “After thwarting the Holy Origin Society’s plan yesterday, Shao Zifeng has gone missing. My bureau is deploying personnel to search the area, and I believe news will come soon.”

“Hmm,” Feng Yaohua nodded and then looked around with a smile, “We’ve been doing all the talking. What do the rest of you think?”

“I agree with Chief Feng, this matter really needs to be looked into,” Gou Donghai was the first to jump in, “And how could someone who has made merits simply disappear without a trace? I suspect there might be more to this than meets the eye.”

He and Zhao Liqian had always been at odds, and he would surely oppose whatever Zhao Liqian supported. Besides, this Shao Zifeng was also a major concern for his niece; how could he let such a good opportunity slip by?

“Ahem.” Just as Gou Donghai finished speaking, a burly man stood up with a laugh, “I have to disagree with that. I can’t say much for other aspects, but I believe there shouldn’t be any issues with the young man’s character. Our department still owes him a banner of honor.”

The others may not know the identity of the man in black, but Feng Yaohua did and looked at the burly man with interest, “Your department gives out banners of honor?”

“Sheesh!” The burly man waved his hands dismissively, “It’s rather embarrassing to bring up, but we do owe him a favor.”

Feng Yaohua, seeing he didn’t want to speak further, let him sit down and continued to survey the room.

The Underground Management Department usually lacked presence, and the burly man’s words had no effect.

Seeing that the highest-ranking official and the Vice Mayor had spoken, everyone else agreed that the matter should be thoroughly investigated.

Zhao Liqian grew anxious at the trend of the conversation and tried to make one more attempt, “Chief Feng, although Shao Zifeng has made some mistakes, I believe it’s too rash to decide in light of a student’s future.”

“Oh?” Feng Yaohua glanced at him indifferently and said, “So you think we shouldn’t investigate?”

“That’s not what I mean,” Zhao Liqian shook his head, speaking seriously, “Shao Zifeng is a student with great Potential, and once the investigation begins, he won’t be able to leave the Abnormal Administration Bureau at all, which means he won’t be able to participate in the upcoming competition.”

“Director Zhao, as the head of the Abnormal Administration Bureau, how can you make such absurd remarks?” Gou Donghai leaned back in his chair, chuckling as he looked at him, “You should be more familiar with the investigation procedure than anyone present. Do you really want to gloss over such a serious security breach so lightly?”

“You!” Zhao Liqian’s eyes widened as he was about to slam the table. Coming from a military background, he had little respect for people like Gou Donghai.

“Alright, let’s do it this way,” Feng Yaohua said as he stood up and glanced at everyone present, “The Holy Origin Society case will be investigated by the Abnormal Administration Bureau, and Shao Zifeng’s situation will be left to young Gou.”

Gou Donghai was delighted upon hearing this; he had not expected Feng Yaohua to hand over the matter to him. With the case in his hands, there was much room for manipulation.

Feng Yaohua’s secretary stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and Feng Yaohua frowned, “Emperor City Paleontological Research Institute, what do they want with me?”

The secretary shook his head, “Do you want me to refuse for you?”

“No need, Professor Chen Yixin is a talent from our Yundu Region, we mustn’t neglect her.” Feng Yaohua sat back down, signaling everyone else to leave the room.

Once everyone had left, a monitor rose up from the middle of the conference table. A woman wearing a white lab coat, brimming with an intellectual aura, appeared on the screen—it was Chen Yixin, who had been away for quite some time.

Seeing the video connection established, Chen Yixin put down the documents in her hand, “Director Feng, hello.”

“Haha, Professor Chen, it’s been a long time since your last visit to Yundu City. When will you have time to come to Yundu City again and give a lecture to those kids?” Feng Yaohua wore an expression typical of a friendly uncle next door, showing no hint of the high official in charge of a region.

“You flatter me.” Chen Yixin slightly furrowed her brows, seeing this old man was trying to sidestep, and checked the time before cutting to the chase, “Director Feng, I have another research project to attend to shortly, so let’s make this quick.”

She looked seriously at Feng Yaohua in the video, “Shao Zifeng is my researcher and, you could say, my… brother. His pet beast is currently involved in a national-level research project, and this National Competition is very important for our institute to gather data. Do you understand what I mean?”

Feng Yaohua’s face became serious, “Professor Chen, this matter is not easy to handle…”

“I understand.” Chen Yixin glanced at the time again and said straightforwardly, “I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t trouble you any longer.”

After saying this, Chen Yixin ended the call.

Feng Yaohua’s expression turned slightly ugly; he felt suffocated inside, but he knew that those in the research community all had this kind of temperament.

While that was true, Feng Yaohua was also a bit troubled. After all, it was a call from Emperor City, which carried some weight.

He tapped his fingers on the conference table and squinted, lost in thought.

“Director,” the secretary bent down and whispered in his ear, “Another video call is coming in.”

Feng Yaohua opened his eyes, rubbed his forehead with some irritation, thinking it must be for that kid again.

“Take it.”

No sooner had the video connected than a hearty laugh came through, “Haha, Huazi, when are you going to come and have a smoke with your old brother? I’m not coughing from the ones I smoke now.”

In the video, a little old man’s nostrils were facing the camera.

“Get lost, you old dog. Instead of sitting at home and waiting to die, you’re bothering me!” After saying this, Feng Yaohua felt unsatisfied and continued to mock, “You old dog can’t even use video properly, talking to me through your nostrils. You’ve really become more useless as you get older.”

“Hey, you Huazi, I didn’t come to argue with you today, let me tell you…”

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yaohua sighed, sure enough, it was about that kid again.

He only knew that the kid had some connection with Chen Zhenglong, but he didn’t expect that his own old friend Yang Qian also valued that kid highly.

Standing up and leaning on the table, the secretary approached again.

Feng Yaohua’s mouth twitched, “Out with it, who is it this time?”

“It’s the former chancellor of Su City University.”

Feng Yaohua sighed, lifting his head at a 45° angle, looking sorrowfully at the ceiling.

I’m having a tough time.
