Chapter 616: Chapter 612 Song Lin’s Request

"It’s been a while, Xiaocao, you’ve become much more straightforward."

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Song Lin paused for a moment in surprise.

Then he smiled and complimented her cheerfully.

Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly, "People always have to grow up, right?"

"I can’t always be as naive as I used to be, can I?"

Song Lin nodded, "You make a good point."

"This time, Strong and I came to see you because we do need your help."

"Of course, whether you help or not is up to you; this isn’t cooperation, it’s a personal request from the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao was somewhat surprised.

She appeared curious, "Tell me."

"If it’s something I can help with, I won’t refuse."

Even though it was a personal request from Song Lin and Wang Qiang, Fang Xiaocao didn’t immediately agree.

Instead, she left herself plenty of room in her words.

The meaning was clear: I’ll only help with what I think I can help with.

If it’s something I think I can’t help with, no matter how simple the request, I won’t help.

Song Lin nodded, "Of course."

"This request for your help is related to Qi Yu."

Upon hearing Song Lin mention Qi Yu, Fang Xiaocao waved her hand to interrupt him.

"Isn’t Qi Yu supposed to be on death row?"

"How did he get out, why is he in Tang City, and why hasn’t anyone captured him?"

Fang Xiaocao asked her question.

"Speaking of this, we’re utterly confused as well."

"Qi Yu was executed three months ago."

"And they verified his identity on the spot; it was confirmed to be Qi Yu himself."

"But now he’s reappeared in Tang City and has even changed his name."

"He now goes by Qi Huan, claiming to be Qi Yu’s twin brother."

"I’ve checked the system, and the information is genuine; all the records from childhood are real too."

"But our people still traced clues showing that this file appeared out of thin air."

"For the past twenty years, Qi Yu’s file has indicated he’s an only child, as have his parents’ files."

Song Lin gave a bitter smile, explaining their simply stated findings.

Fang Xiaocao listened and frowned secretly.

The situation Song Lin described could be called incredible.

But Fang Xiaocao knew that someone could do such things.

And she had such a talent by her side.

That person was Tom.

"So, what can I do to help?"

When it came to Qi Yu, Fang Xiaocao became alert.

As long as it’s something she can do, as long as it’s not too excessive, Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t refuse.

After all, her enmity with Qi Yu wasn’t something that happened overnight.

Qi Yu wanted her dead, and Fang Xiaocao certainly wanted revenge.

Song Lin and Wang Qiang exchanged a glance, and Wang Qiang took out a file from his pocket.

"We conducted an investigation on Qi Yu, but gained very little."

"For this, Shi Guang braved the danger and infiltrated Qi Yu’s side."

"These are all the materials Shi Guang sent back before he died; I think you’ll be interested."

Upon hearing Wang Qiang’s words, Fang Xiaocao paused her hand as she reached for the file.

"Before he died?"

Fang Xiaocao looked at Wang Qiang suspiciously.

She couldn’t be sure if this was a slip of the tongue or a macabre joke.

Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s doubt, Song Lin revealed a pained expression and spoke, "Wang Qiang isn’t joking, Shi Guang sacrificed himself."

"He was killed by Qi Yu with a shattered wine bottle to the skull."

"Have a look at these materials; I think you’ll find them interesting."

A hint of sadness flashed in Fang Xiaocao’s eyes.

She had a good impression of Shi Guang.

She hadn’t expected his sacrifice to be so tragic.

Fang Xiaocao accepted the file and took out the materials inside.

The file contained some photos and A4 sheets.

Most of the photos were of Qi Yu, along with some key people around Qi Yu.

Aside from these, what really caught Fang Xiaocao’s eye was a photo of bionic robots.

The photo showed a dozen or so bionic robots neatly arranged in a line.

They looked like soldiers awaiting inspection.

Fang Xiaocao squinted and placed everything on the coffee table, looking up at Song Lin and Wang Qiang.

"What is it you want me to do?"

Fang Xiaocao asked in a serious tone.

It seemed Qi Yu was indeed the guy selling bionic robots to the pawnshop.

Everything Emperor Fengdu said before his death was true; Qi Yu had really returned.

And he had mixed with those researching bionic robots.

"We want to use your strength to gather evidence of Qi Yu’s crimes and bring him to justice."

Song Lin said sternly.

Fang Xiaocao blinked, looking surprised, "That doesn’t quite follow the protocol, does it?"

"We’re out of options; sometimes you can’t adhere too strictly to the rules."

Song Lin’s eyes flashed with a tinge of helplessness.

"Alright, I agree."

"Leave this material with me; I need to show it to my people."

"You can’t be involved in my process of action."

"Once the desired information is gathered, I’ll pass it on to you, but you mustn’t inquire about the process of obtaining it."

"This is better for you and for me."

"Rest assured, I’ll guarantee the authenticity of the information."

After careful consideration, Fang Xiaocao chose to agree to cooperate, but she also set her own conditions.

If Song Lin couldn’t agree to her terms, or wanted to forcefully participate in the investigation process, Fang Xiaocao would immediately terminate the cooperation and use her own methods to deal with the threat of Qi Yu.

"Alright, we’ll cooperate as you propose."

"We won’t ask about your actions or the source of the information."

"But you must ensure the authenticity of the information; don’t fabricate it just because you have a grudge against Qi Yu."

Song Lin agreed to Fang Xiaocao’s conditions without hesitation.

"Rest assured, I’m not that kind of person, as you should know."

"If I wanted, I wouldn’t need to cooperate with you; I could deal with Qi Yu on my own."

"It might even be more convenient and quicker than cooperating with you."

Fang Xiaocao didn’t hide her capabilities; she openly showed her strength.

Fang Xiaocao believed that before Song Lin and Wang Qiang came, they had already investigated everything about her through some channel.

Although the information they gathered might not be complete, or just an overview,

they should be aware of how large her influence is and how strong her abilities are now.

So Fang Xiaocao didn’t hold back in front of them and openly admitted her capabilities.

"We naturally know, your character puts me at ease."

Song Lin also openly admitted that he had investigated Fang Xiaocao’s information.

The prerequisite for cooperation is enough transparency, and Song Lin did that, which made Fang Xiaocao very satisfied.

"Since you agreed to cooperate, we won’t disturb you any longer; we’ll go back and wait for your good news."

With that, Song Lin and Wang Qiang stood up to bid farewell.

"I won’t see you two off; Xinyan, get someone to safely escort the two gentlemen back to the city."
