Chapter 557: Who is the Expert?

"Master..."

"Xiaomei, where are you now? Listen, there’s been progress in the case. You need to tell the person in charge in G City immediately to take people and raid the following address. Everyone there has been fully controlled. Remember, act fast. Those children, once they are rescued, must be properly soothed! The address is XX Town, XX Village, XX Road, XX House in M City. The exact route is..."

Before Zeng Xiaomei’s senior brother could even utter two words, before he could barely open his mouth, he was interrupted by Situ Qingfeng. Situ Qingfeng spoke with an urgency in his tone, and his voice was incredibly grave.

"Senior brother? Are you serious?"

Hearing Situ Qingfeng’s words, Zeng Xiaomei almost thought she had heard wrong. It took a while before she came back to her senses, exclaiming in disbelief.

"Do I sound like I’m joking to you?"

Situ Qingfeng’s expression turned cold, his voice very stern as he commanded, "I want to hear a detailed work report in thirty minutes!"

"Yes! Senior brother, rest assured, I’ll tell them now to start the action!"

Zeng Xiaomei finally confirmed that the great news Situ Qingfeng spoke of was no joke, but indeed true. All the negative emotions in her heart were washed away by the enormous joy of this great news. Even the seriousness and command in Situ Qingfeng’s tone was momentarily overlooked as she exclaimed loudly with surprise and quickly hung up the phone while clapping her hands vigorously and shouting to everyone, "Listen up, everybody..."

............

"Why bother?"

Gently clapping his hands, Xiao Yi’s gaze fell upon the man in black lying in front of him, eyes wide open with strong unwillingness and pain, as well as a look of fear, yet devoid of any signs of life. He shook his head slightly, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly to himself.

He had no pity or sympathy for the death of these two men. From the beginning, he had not intended to let them live.

But he originally had no intention of torturing them before their death, especially not in any particularly cruel manner. He genuinely did not want that; he initially had good intentions, wishing for them to depart this world peacefully and to leave their bodies intact, for death extinguishes life, and the myriad sins of life can be atoned with death alone.

However, he had not anticipated that their lips would be so tightly sealed. Even when they were utterly afraid of facing him and dared not resist him, even letting him raid their lair and easily rescuing the children, when he tried to extract some relevant information from their mouths, they resisted to the death.

Having no choice, he was forced to employ some methods that he didn’t want to use and which he considered not quite benevolent.

They endured heart-wrenching and unbearable torture before their deaths.

"May you become good people in the next life," he muttered, listening to the sirens coming from the foot of the mountain. He gently stroked over the faces of the dead, closing their eyelids, seconding a wish before turning and walking into the darkness ahead, his figure instantly merging with the night.

And just as Xiao Yi’s silhouette disappeared into the darkness, a procession of police cars, sirens wailing, rumbled up to the house’s gate. One after another, grave-faced and armed police officers leaped from the cars, charging like fierce tigers through the wide-open iron gates.

............

"Senior brother, it’s me."

Zeng Xiaomei’s voice was nearly trembling, the case in G City had truly been solved, and all the thirty-plus children who had gone missing during this period were safely rescued!

The impact of this news was immense!

The moment she received the call from below, she picked up her phone, wanting to share the good news with Situ Qingfeng. At the same time, in her heart, she wished to ask who this expert that he had invited to solve the case was, and how he could be so incredibly skilled!

She wanted to meet this mystery solver, to personally extend her sincere gratitude to him, and on behalf of all the police, the parents who just got back their children, and the children themselves, to thank this expert!

"How is it? Have you got news about the case? What’s the situation?"

Situ Qingfeng spoke calmly, his mind slightly agitated. Although he had absolute faith in Xiao Yi’s abilities and believed that Xiao Yi would not deceive him, claiming the case was solved if it wasn’t, he knew that Xiao Yi was ultimately not an insider, and he vaguely realized that Xiao Yi, while young and usually appearing agreeable, was merciful and approachable only to his own people. In dealings with enemies, he was actually very ruthless, which Situ knew from the time they had spent together.

He didn’t know how Xiao Yi had cracked the case this time, nor whether the children had been hurt or affected, and whether he had caught all the criminals in one fell swoop, which would be disadvantageous for him to solve the case and find clues.

"Yes, Senior Brother, good news! All the children have been rescued without exception, and apart from two leaders, all the other criminals have been rounded up with no oversights. They are now imprisoned in M City Jail, and everything has been done according to your instructions, with the news completely sealed off to ensure there won’t be any leaks!"

Zeng Xiaomei excitedly reported to Situ Qingfeng.

"Mm, that’s good!"

Listening to Zeng Xiaomei’s report, Situ Qingfeng’s face relaxed, and his gratitude towards Xiao Yi deepened; he knew that Xiao Yi must have shown them mercy this time because he didn’t want to make their situation too difficult.

At the same time, his admiration for Xiao Yi grew stronger; this boss of his, younger even than himself, was so impressive that he had managed to bust a den in just one day—and succeeded.

Although he had uncovered quite a few clues and leads that made Xiaomei’s job easier, when he asked himself seriously, he doubted he could handle the matter as quickly and possibly even better than Xiao Yi had.

Clearly, Xiao Yi’s investigative skills were at least no weaker than his own, Situ Qingfeng!

The boss is truly amazing!

It seems I’ll never surpass him in my lifetime—it’s just impossible!

There really are geniuses in this world!

Situ Qingfeng marveled privately to himself.

"Senior Brother, the expert you found—can you introduce me to him? I really want to meet him; I want to personally thank him!"

After discussing official matters, Zeng Xiaomei immediately expressed her desire with an expectant look.

"Ah..."

Situ Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Zeng Xiaomei to make such a request.

"Senior Brother, I really want to meet this expert, and I sincerely want to thank him on behalf of the people in G Province. I guarantee I won’t reveal any information about him!"

Zeng Xiaomei, thinking that Situ Qingfeng was reluctant to introduce her to Xiao Yi, was immediately anxious and spoke with earnest sincerity.

Listening to Zeng Xiaomei’s urgent, sincere, and anxious words, Situ Qingfeng’s face revealed a hint of amusement.

He almost couldn’t help but tell Zeng Xiaomei that the expert she wanted to meet was Xiao Yi, the one she constantly criticized as a worthless student from Z University who didn’t love studying. He was eager to see what her expression would be upon hearing the answer, but remembering Xiao Yi’s repeated stress on keeping his identity secret, especially when it came to Zeng Xiaomei, Situ had to swallow his words.

Being a clever man, although Xiao Yi never explicitly said he was avoiding Zeng Xiaomei, Situ could tell from his behavior that he seemed particularly frightened of Zeng Xiaomei finding out his identity, which made him extremely curious as to why Xiao Yi seemed so afraid of Zeng Xiaomei.

"Senior Brother, what will it be? Please, say something."

Zeng Xiaomei, seeing Situ Qingfeng silent, became even more anxious.

"Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this. I’ve promised that friend not to reveal his identity. As for thanking him, it’s unnecessary; he won’t care about these things," Situ Qingfeng finally returned to his senses and showed a face filled with apology.

He could hear that Zeng Xiaomei genuinely wanted to meet Xiao Yi and sincerely wanted to thank him, but unfortunately, without Xiao Yi’s permission, he dared not tell her the truth.

However, he had already decided to ask Xiao Yi on behalf of Zeng Xiaomei, to find out why he kept it a secret from her, and if possible, he still wanted to introduce Xiao Yi to Zeng Xiaomei.

After all, Zeng Xiaomei was also his junior sister—a junior sister whom he cared and liked a lot, and with whom he had a very good relationship. If possible, he hoped Xiao Yi would take good care of her in G City.
