Chapter 472: Chapter 471 The Arrogant Situ Qingfeng

"Ah, sorry everyone, it’s mine, I’ll just take this call and then I’ll come back and apologize to you all."

After seeing the young man’s gesture, Zeng Xiaomei suddenly realized what was happening, showed a hint of guilt on her face as she addressed the others, and then quickly stood up and walked over to her bag where she took out her cellphone.

"Hello, who is this?"

Zeng Xiaomei didn’t even bother to check the caller ID, suppressing her anger and speaking quite impolitely.

The phone call had rung during her meeting, disrupting it and causing her to lose face in front of her colleagues. It was already quite restrained of her not to lash out, and to expect her to be amiable was naturally impossible.

"Hello, is this Officer Zeng? It’s Xiao Yi, do you remember me?"

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s voice over the phone, Xiao Yi’s face immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly spoke with a sense of urgency.

"Is that you?"

Upon realizing that it was Xiao Yi who had interrupted her meeting and made her lose face, Zeng Xiaomei’s expression darkened even more, and her tone became increasingly unfriendly, "May I ask what you want? If there’s nothing important, I have to hang up. I am in the middle of a meeting."

"It’s like this, Officer Zeng, Xiaoxiao has not been attending classes these past few days, and when I call her cell phone, it says it’s out of the service area. Do you know what’s going on? Xiaoxiao is not in any trouble, is she?"

Xiao Yi, sensing that Zeng Xiaomei was about to hang up the phone and not minding her tone, quickly spoke with worry.

It had taken him a lot of courage to make this call, as his intent was to inquire about Zeng Xiaoxiao’s situation. He didn’t want to end the call without finding out anything.

"Xiaoxiao? There’s nothing wrong with her, Classmate Xiao, I appreciate your concern. Alright, that’s it for now, I need to get back to my meeting."

Hearing the urgency in Xiao Yi’s voice, Zeng Xiaomei’s brows furrowed even more, and after responding coldly, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Zeng Xiaomei did not immediately return to her seat to continue the meeting, but her brows furrowed again.

Xiao Yi was so concerned about Xiaoxiao, could it be that he actually had some thoughts towards her?

He’d better not have such thoughts.

Otherwise, the only person who would suffer would be him.

Perhaps, I need to find time to talk to him again, but first, I must deal with this significant case at hand!

After a while, a chill flashed in Zeng Xiaomei’s eyes. She shook her head and walked back to her seat.

"Alright, colleagues, what about this case? I’ve made the current situation very clear. Now that you’ve all had time to think, does anyone have any ideas?"

Returning to her seat, Zeng Xiaomei’s gaze swept across the faces of her subordinates and she asked once again.

"I...I think we should wait. Didn’t Team Leader Li from the Provincial Office say he was going to establish a special case team? Let’s wait and see how this provincial special case team will handle it."

A police officer in his thirties, sitting next to Zeng Xiaomei, hesitated, his expression seeming to indicate some reservations as he looked at Zeng Xiaomei.

"I agree with Zhao’s view. Based on what Captain Zeng has just described, this group is a very violent syndicate, not just an ordinary gang. Captain Zeng herself was injured, which gives us an idea..."

Another policeman beside him began to speak slowly.

"From the current situation, all we can do is wait for the formation and action of the provincial special case team, because at the moment, we don’t have any clues. The forensic identification is already in, and all of those people are dead. There isn’t a single survivor, so even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn’t know where to start. The main crime scene is likely in H City, not our G City."

"Yes, only once the provincial special case team is established and we get full cooperation from H City, will we have a chance..."

"......"

The rest of the police officers also began to express their ideas, one after another, but the general consensus was to wait for the formation of the special case team.

"If only we could find that High Tier, everything would be better. Those heartless bastards, they must have been taken down by the High Tier. Maybe he has clues about that group too!"

Suddenly, a police officer’s face revealed a hint of wistfulness.

Upon hearing this officer’s words, Zeng Xiaomei, who originally felt listless with disappointment in her eyes, experienced a sudden jolt in her heart, as a complex and bitter expression emerged in her gaze.

Indeed, if only that expert had appeared that night, it would have been wonderful, not only because he likely had clues about that gang, but more importantly, due to his unfathomably skilled martial arts.

This morning, all those bodies had already been specially transported back. The moment they arrived, she was nearly the first to rush over and inspect them. One of the men, the one who had been severely injured, had actually died from his entire Meridians being violently shattered, while the others had succumbed to a sudden cardiac arrest due to some bizarre technique—a method that could only be described as ruthless!

What did this imply?

It meant that this expert’s strength vastly surpassed theirs. It was very likely that he had reached the High Tier of the Bone Tempering Period! Perhaps he was even at the peak of the High Tier!

With such a master on hand, wouldn’t it be effortless to deal with people like that cyclops in the future?

But... where was the expert now?

A bitter smile appeared on Zeng Xiaomei’s face. Although the Provincial Office and she herself had already made an announcement and promised a substantial reward to thank the expert, she knew that such a master would not so easily make an appearance, because at his level, he surely wouldn’t care about the generous rewards they offered.

Moreover... she had a faint intuition that the reason he didn’t stay behind was that he didn’t want to encounter public security officers like her, that... he seemed to have a kind of aversion to people like her from the public security...

Was it because of disdain?

Or... was it because he had killed those heinous people?

However, his style of killing was almost tantamount to defying the law of the country. Could I really completely ignore what he did? Even if those people he killed were all deranged, vile criminals, who would most definitely have been sentenced to death had they been apprehended, after all, a family has its rules, and a country has its laws...

Even if... we need him now, and I could completely disregard his actions, what about others? Would they not seek him out for a reckoning afterwards?

Zeng Xiaomei’s mind became entangled in a web of complicated and conflicting thoughts, paying almost no heed to her colleagues’ heated discussions.

"Knock knock..."

While Zeng Xiaomei was lost in thought, the door to the conference room was knocked on twice before being pushed open. A tall man entered, leading another who had a resolute face, intense eyes shining with a compelling light, about 175 centimeters tall, with a slender scar on his forehead that didn’t make him look fearsome but rather added an exceptionally unique charm.

"Captain?"

Zeng Xiaomei, hearing the sound of the door, instantly turned around and saw the smiling, towering figure of the man in front. Her face involuntarily showed a look of surprise, and she glanced at him with some confusion.

Before the captain could reply, her gaze shifted onto the man beside him. Her face immediately lit up with excitement, and she could no longer sit still. She stood up from her chair and rushed over, excitedly grabbing his hand and with a look of disbelief, she exclaimed, "Senior Brother Situ! How did you come here?"

"Hehe, after hearing Team Leader Li report this earth-shattering case, I was afraid that you all in G Province might be short-handed, so I came down to assist you in solving the case."

As the man with the slender scar saw Zeng Xiaomei’s figure, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Haha... so it turns out you know each other, Zeng. That’s great," the captain said, clearly not expecting Zeng Xiaomei and the man to be acquainted. After a brief pause, he put on a smile and said, "Zeng, why don’t you introduce him to everyone?"

"No need for that... hehe, I’ll introduce myself instead," Senior Brother Situ interjected before Zeng Xiaomei could speak, his smile disappearing as quickly as it had appeared, returning to a somewhat aloof, and even proudly indifferent tone, "Greetings, everyone. My name is Situ Qingfeng. You can just call me Situ. Starting from today, I will be working with all of you on the child trafficking case. Until the case is solved, we will be colleagues. Before the case is cracked, I will give it my all, and I hope that every one of you will do the same to ensure that the criminals are caught as soon as possible. That’s enough talk from me, if any of you need to know anything about me, feel free to ask at any time. Apart from what I choose not to disclose, I will answer any questions."

Shh!

As Situ Qingfeng finished speaking, the conference room became dead silent, not a single person clapped. Each individual’s face carried a hint of displeasure towards Situ Qingfeng.

Situ Qingfeng’s words were too arrogant, and his tone of speech, along with his demeanor, rubbed them the wrong way. Everyone seated there was a seasoned detective from G City; who didn’t have a bit of pride?
