Chapter 168 Huo Chuan
Fang Weiguo was relieved; with Lin Xi's involvement, things would definitely be much easier.
After the father and son finished discussing business, Fang Weiguo glanced at his watch and prepared to leave.
This has always been the case; the father and son rarely see each other, and when they do, it's usually because of work, with little time for small talk.
There's nothing we can do; they're all very busy.
Just as Fang Weiguo stepped out the door, a dignified and steady voice came from behind him, "Don't sit in the office all day. Keep exercising as long as your legs aren't broken. How can you withstand high-intensity work without a healthy body?"
Fang Weiguo turned around, his forties smiling like a teenager, "I understand, Dad."
After Fang Weiguo left, Fang Zonglin made a phone call. A short while later, a tall man with piercing eyes and a resolute expression entered the courtyard.
"Secretary, are you looking for me?"
"Hmm, sit down and take a look at this."
Huo Chuan opened the file, and a photo of a short-haired girl caught his eye. She was nine years old. Hmm? Why would the secretary ask him to look at a child's file?
You're about to enter high school, and you're doing so well in your studies?
Filled with curiosity, he continued reading, and what followed left him speechless.
Not only did he have excellent academic performance, but his past experience was even more impressive than that of a policeman.
He rescued an injured doctor at the hospital, subdued an armed assailant, helped villagers set a trap to catch a fraudster, ran two miles through the market to catch a thief, apprehended a human trafficker on a train, caught a child falling from a building with his bare hands, and risked his life to rush into a burning building to save people...
They also helped the police solve many major cases, and even went undercover as customers to investigate and dismantle a drug trafficking den...
Is this something a nine-year-old child could do? It requires not only exceptional physical abilities but also strong mental fortitude, boldness, meticulousness, and extraordinary intelligence.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, Fang Zonglin tapped the table and said, "Alright, that's enough for now."
Huo Chuan reluctantly closed the document, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. He hadn't finished reading it yet; it was such a thick document, and he had only read less than a third of it. He wondered how exciting the rest would be.
But he knows the rules; he definitely shouldn't have known what came next.
"Secretary, who is she?"
He believed that the Party Secretary wouldn't let him see a child's information for no reason.
"Write down her number, and tell her whatever she wants to know about the cleanup plan."
Huo Chuan frowned deeply, surprised and puzzled.
The cleanup plan was top secret; any leak would ruin everything. Yet the secretary ordered him to convey this crucial information to a child under ten years old over the phone. Why? What gave him the right? No matter how outstanding the child was, it wouldn't work!
Huo Chuan, who always obeyed Fang Zonglin's every word, questioned his decision for the first time, "Secretary, isn't this too hasty? If you want her to participate, you should at least have her come to Beijing and act with us."
"It will interfere with her studies."
Huo Chuan was stunned for a long time. If Fang Zonglin's expression hadn't remained as serious and solemn as ever, he would have thought it was a joke.
That's outrageous! Can studying be more important than this plan? Her grades are already so good, why would she need to worry about her studies?
Huo Chuan, unwilling to give up, said, "Secretary, we should at least find a few people to keep an eye on her, just in case she..."
Fang Zonglin interrupted, "Her files are so thick, why did I only let you see a part of them? Don't underestimate her; you can completely trust her."
Huo Chuan immediately understood that this young girl must have some special abilities. "Okay, Secretary, I understand."
After writing down the number, he sent Lin Xi a short message: "Hello, this is Huo Chuan."
Lin Xi smiled knowingly when she saw the text message; Director Fang was quite quick.
Huo Chuan didn't know her, but she knew Huo Chuan. It could be said that there was no one in the entire Xia Kingdom who didn't know him. Ten years later, he would become a household name in the police force. In her previous life, before she died, he had already become the Minister of Public Security.
However, he is still a rising star in the police force, and he has gradually gained important positions because of his outstanding contributions in Operation Shadow.
He did not disappoint this important appointment, constantly solving major and serious cases, earning him the title of "modern Bao Zheng" and rising rapidly through the ranks.
She only trusted Huo Chuan regarding this operation; after all, it was uncertain whether the plan would have succeeded in her previous life without him.
She didn't reply to the text message, but dialed the number directly.
Huo Chuan saw the incoming call and immediately answered it. A childish voice came from the other end, "Hello, I am Lin Xi."
Although he was young, he was more composed than he had imagined.
"Hello, please ensure that no one is present during our call."
Ultimately, he still didn't quite trust this young girl.
Lin Xi didn't seem to care. "Don't worry, I know. When does the operation begin?"
"Ten days later."
"Could you please tell me the names of the members of the investigation team?"
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end read out a long list of names.
"Is Li Changjun the 'Chang' of 'long' and the 'Jun' of 'gentleman'?"
Huo Chuan was slightly surprised. Did she know her? "Yes."
Lin Xi didn't hide anything and said, "You need to keep a close eye on him. There's already a mole trying to contact him and bribe him. You must protect his family, otherwise they might be forced to betray him later, which could cause a lot of trouble."
This is why she made the call. In her previous life, Li Changjun did indeed betray the regime later on, and his family was controlled by the Dark Falcon Alliance. As a result, during a capture operation, an insider escaped and caused many casualties.
Fortunately, Huo Chuan caught him in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
This time, she gave a timely reminder, and with Huo Chuan's abilities, he could definitely prevent this incident from happening.
Upon hearing this, Huo Chuan was stunned. How did she know? Could she be an undercover agent? But she was clearly just a student. Could her family members be undercover agents?
Seeing that there was no response from the other end for a while, Lin Xi called out, "Hello? Huo Chuan, did you hear me?"
Huo Chuan snapped out of his thoughts, "Yes, I heard it."
"Okay, that's settled then. We'll be in touch once the operation begins. Goodbye."
After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.
Huo Chuan stopped imagining things, immediately turned the car around, and sped back to the courtyard...
Lin Xi had no idea that this phone call kept Huo Chuan up all night. Still shaken, he not only investigated all the members of the investigation team, but also secretly protected all their families.
He even directly asked Fang Zonglin if Lin Xi's family members were undercover agents. Fang Zonglin didn't answer, and that's how the beautiful misunderstanding arose.
The next morning, Huo Chuan, having finished his work, finally felt relieved and took a good nap.
Lin Xi, wearing running shoes, arrived at the villa not far away and knocked on the door.
Gu Zheng was fast asleep when he heard the noise. He sat up angrily and went downstairs cursing. Moving near his junior sister's house was a mistake!
After opening the door, the anger on his face turned into a fawning smile, and he said pitifully, "Junior sister, let me sleep a little longer. You don't know, I dreamt of slaughtering pigs all night, and I didn't sleep well at all. Look at my dark circles."
