Chapter 163: Chapter 142: Locking on Target, A Difficult Sutra (Subscription and Monthly Pass Requested)

"Was the live stream room banned because of the Hongxing Guild Hall incident?"

Tang Tang peeked at the cellphone and, seeing Zhou Ping’an’s grim expression, asked worriedly.

Although she didn’t know why her junior brother was so keen on short videos and live streaming, since he had this hobby, there was nothing wrong with it; her full support was definite.

Last time, she even pulled some strings to get a newly developed underwater detection recorder, and although she downplayed it, she actually owed a favor to her good friend at the Linhai Research Institute.

These things, there was no need to mention.

"Not only was the live stream room banned, but also the video previously sent out challenging the Chentian Club was banned as well."

Zhou Ping’an was mildly puzzled.

If the incidents at the hospital and with Hongxing were because he had been too ruthless during the investigation process, creating too bloody a scene which had a negative impact, there would be a reason to ban it.

But it was somewhat unreasonable to ban ordinary videos posted before.

Moreover, it wasn’t banned during the live stream; such issues appeared only afterward...

"Clearly, they are removing your influence and controlling public opinion fermentation. It seems that our actions against Southern City Biological Genetic Laboratory indeed poked some people’s hearts."

Tang Tang had been an inspector for two years, handling countless cases.

Her perspective on issues was naturally very sharp.

Her mind switched gears and she understood why this was happening.

It was nothing but related interests...

It surely couldn’t really be because the live broadcast was too bloody and they feared causing public distaste.

If that were the case, then videos of wild beasts attacking people, unusual homicides in the city, and videos of unrestricted world martial arts tournaments would all have to be banned.

In this era, there is a desire for heroes, an era to face blood directly.

Even the officials.

Would not do such acts of futile concealment.

Merely bloodshed.

Why not talk about those towns and villages wiped from the map or turned into ferocious beast paradises documented in history?

Compared to capturing thieves and killers, that is a hundred times bloodier, ten thousand times more tragic.

"I’ll ask around."

Tang Tang frowned and walked outside the courtyard, secretly whispering on the phone.

"Tang Wenlong, I heard you got promoted to team leader. Why don’t you visit us in Dongjiang? Right now, this laboratory is highly suspicious of harboring dirt. Currently, the case is stuck..."

Tang Tang prattled on about the situation.

Her tone was quite unfriendly.

There was, in fact, no reason to be polite; the person on the other end of the call was her big brother, whom she had grown up bullying. Not long ago, hearing of Tang Wenlong’s promotion to the head of a special incident handling team, she even painfully saved two thousand yuan from her salary to buy him a gift.

As his little sister, she always remembered her big brother fondly.

And now she needed help, and he wasn’t coming?

"My dear grandmother, do you think I’m at the helm of the Linhai Special Affairs Office?

You said yourself, it’s just suspicion, no sufficient evidence to prove the lab’s connection to the disappearance cases...

The most important thing isn’t this. It’s that there, in Dongjiang, various powers maintain a fragile balance; although the senators fight fiercely, they all don’t want to expose their flaws and draw Linhai’s attention. It’s hard for me to intervene in this matter."

"You’re still lacking drive. I thought that going to that department, you would make some big impact, but instead, you’re becoming more like a bureaucrat, worried about this and that.

Forget it, if we can’t handle the lab, we won’t handle it. But Tang Wenlong, can you use a special channel to ask the Linhai Tianyin Subsidiary why the live streaming room ’Darkness Under the Sun, the Dongjiang Police Detective Real Record’ was banned?"

"Hold on."

A sighing voice came from the other end of the phone, but this time he didn’t refuse.

Ten minutes later.

The phone rang again.

"Hey, little sister, Third Group is making waves, huh? I thought you would face setbacks in Dongjiang, cry and run back to Linhai, apologize to the old man, and accept the family arrangements willingly. But to my surprise, you’ve been thriving and cracking big cases..."

"That’s right, who do you think I am?"

Hearing her big brother’s surprised words, Tang Tang’s eyes curled up with joy.

Tang Wenlong never minces his words. Back at home, he occasionally looked down on her, even betting that she wouldn’t last half a year working as an inspector in Dongjiang.

And what happened?

Compared to Tang Wenlong’s mediocre performance, she had indeed accomplished something—although mostly because Zhou Ping’an was particularly capable.

But as brother and sister, there was no need to be so formal.

His achievements, she could claim half.

Otherwise, what does it mean to share fortunes and misfortunes together?

"Are you sure your colleague hasn’t undergone genetic transformation? He seems to have stepped into D-level combat power. Just with Martial Arts, reaching this level is rare even in Linhai, let alone finding one or two in Dongjiang. By the way, how old is he, and does he have a girlfriend?"

"Tang Wenlong..."

Tang Tang drew out her words.

"Okay, okay, let’s talk business. Such a temper, no wonder you’re not married... I checked it. The person in charge of the National Tianyin Linhai Subsidiary said so, there should be no mistake.

He sent over the recording of the livestream and also provided the reason for the ban. Theoretically, they should promote, not ban, these real-time investigative broadcasts since they generally believe such livestreams could go viral due to interests.

However, your colleagues in Dongjiang, the Special Combat Office, citing the impact on case investigations and the leakage of confidential Police Security information, requested the ban, leaving them with no other choice.

All I can say is, your colleague has been targeted.

Tang Wenlong explained the cause of the event in just a few words.

Actually, he himself was unclear about what exactly the Dongjiang Special Combat Squad meant.

Now, all cities in Zhuxia are engaged in star-making projects, wishing that one or two heroes would emerge from their cities to craft an international image.

Yet, Dongjiang was doing the opposite, suppressing a promising young recruit and erasing his influence from all quarters.

Could it be out of jealousy?

"Still, Dongjiang has independent case handling powers, and within the scope of their authority, our Special Affairs Office can’t just interfere with Dongjiang’s internal affairs without reason.

However, little sister, why don’t you ask Uncle Wei? If he is willing to get involved, it would almost be a matter of saying the word. It’s far-fetched asking me."

"Hmph, you still don’t know Uncle Wei? He’s a total bureaucrat, just like the old man at home, as thick as thieves.

He would love to see me fail spectacularly and watch the drama unfold, then watch me run back to Linhai crying."

Tang Tang clenched her fist: "I won’t give them that pleasure. I prefer to handle cases myself. I like this feeling of guarding my territory. I feel it’s grounded and meaningful."

"Right, right, look at your resolve, incomparable, truly. It’s like getting a political lecture every day, even a phone call ends up a lecture. Don’t bother me if it’s nothing urgent, I’m hanging up."

"Fine, I won’t keep you from your games any longer. Tell them I’m too busy to make it for mom’s birthday, and send a gift for me."

Tang Tang paused for a moment, then spoke after some thought.

Then she heard a sigh on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of the call being disconnected.

.........

"Got it figured out, it was Wang Yulin stirring up trouble. I don’t know if he profited from the lab incident, or was just following orders?"

Tang Tang re-entered the hall, her spirits restored, as if nothing could hold her back.

"He requested the ban using the excuse of affecting case investigations, and the leakage of confidential Police Security information... Getting him to retract it seems unlikely. We’ll have to bypass him and find someone else..."

"Forget it, actually, live or not, shooting videos is just a hobby, let it be banned, don’t trouble yourself over such a small matter, sister."

A warm feeling surged in Zhou Ping’an’s heart.

This sister was reliable.

In times of need, she really steps up.

Even if she utterly resists dealing with that so-called "Uncle Wei," for such a "minor issue," she still decided to personally make a plea.

For someone as proud as his master sister, this approach was undoubtedly a form of conceding...

Why bother?

Although Tang Tang had spoken softly on the phone,

with Zhou Ping’an’s enhanced Five Senses, not to mention a conversation not more than thirty meters away,

even the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings, he could hear clearly.

He finally understood why his master sister had come to Dongjiang for special operations.

He also realized that her situation at home might not be very comfortable.

All one can say is, every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures.

Even if he could interfere in his master sister’s family affairs, it wouldn’t be appropriate to do so...

Could it be appropriate to point at the Tang family patriarch’s nose and declare, "Your daughter is under my protection, stop arranging this and that..." That would be foolish. Being parents, arranging what their children should do, probably seems right in the minds of those elders.

"I’ve made other plans about this; let’s put it on hold for now. Sister, you’ve been busy all night, and it’s getting late. You haven’t rested yet, get some sleep. You wouldn’t want to doze off during tomorrow’s internal commendation meeting."

Zhou Ping’an said, smiling, careful not to show how much he actually cared about the livestream and the release of the videos.

This related to Heart Thought offerings and his own strength improvement.

Being banned cut off his path to obtaining offerings – a clear blocking of his way.

Anyone daring to act against that should be prepared to pay the price.

No need to voice these thoughts.

It was enough that he knew.

"It’s just a short trip, won’t take much time. You stay and keep aunt company, I can handle my own affairs," Tang Tang tossed out before

leaving. Swishing her ponytail, she burst out of the door, jumped into her little white car, and sped away in a cloud of smoke.
