CHAPTER 1465: CHAPTER 1466: THERE’S MUCH TO BE EXPLORED HERE (20 UPDATES, ASKING FOR REWARDS)

You saluted Du Ping’an: "Hello, Grandpa Du."

"Good, good." Du Ping’an almost choked, taking several deep breaths to steady himself.

Wei Tong, who was sitting beside him, squinted his eyes, frowning and staring at you, occasionally glancing at Du Ping’an: "Lao Du, it’s just a child, no need to get so worked up."

"I’m happy, I like it!" Du Ping’an jerked his head up, pretending to be tough like he was stepped on his tail.

"Fine! You’re the commander now, I won’t argue with you. Anyway, I’m telling you, if you don’t tell me where that kid is, I’ll stay at your place!"

"I’ve got plenty of rooms; you, Old Wei, can stay as long as you like!"

Du Ping’an rolled his eyes at Wei Tong, then turned to your mother. He clearly knew your mother’s temperament; if it wasn’t for something urgent, you wouldn’t visit so late at night.

Your mother walked up to Du Ping’an, her face immediately collapsed, tears couldn’t be stopped and flowed down: "Uncle Du, Keng Ge has been captured!"

As soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"Who dares to do such a thing!"

Wei Tong shouted angrily, his face showing undisguised anger.

To speak of ties, those present weren’t very familiar with your father, only that he was your mother’s husband, which was why they paid attention. Your mother and the other peers here were all children the elders had watched grow up.

As for relationships, Du Ping’an, Wei Tong, and the late Chen Weiguo were all personally cultivated by your grandfather, Xiao Zhan, who was then the platoon leader of the special operations company and hero platoon. For them, Xiao Zhan was like another parent; he dug them out of death’s pile!

With Xiao Zhan, no need to say more. Even if he now told Du Ping’an and the others to die, these people would unhesitatingly fire a shot at their own heads!

After your mother recounted the incident, Du Ping’an immediately went to the study and picked up the dedicated line phone: "Hello, this is Du Ping’an, get that Guanghui kid on the phone immediately!"

Wang Guanghui, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Eastern Sea Province, upon hearing Du Ping’an shout this name, your mother’s heart eased a little.

Soon, a voice came from the phone. Though Du Ping’an spoke calmly, his volume was still very high, as most of the older generation of military men were hot-tempered: "Kid, find someone for me right now. His name is Li Kangge, from Yuhang City. He was taken from his home tonight, accused of murder. I don’t need to say more, my request is simple: protect him immediately, don’t let any internal scum use torture. As for the case, someone will soon coordinate with you."

After speaking, Du Ping’an hung up the phone. Seeing him walk out from the study, Wei Tong frowned at Du Ping’an, saying: "Lao Du, there’s a big story behind this."

"Nonsense!"

To be honest, Du Ping’an was very angry. If this weren’t peacetime, he might have personally led a team to execute those who falsely accused your father.

"I’ve not met Li Kangge many times, but I know his temperament. He’s a typical bookish nerd, honest to a fault, how could he commit murder!" Du Ping’an glanced at you, noticing you were bowing your head slightly, eyes subtly narrowed.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Li Fang asked.

Wei Songbo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I have an old classmate in the Yuhang Public Security system; maybe he can help."

Du Ping’an sighed lightly: "This matter probably isn’t that simple. Since they directly took him from home, it shows they have ample evidence. Looks like those people were well-prepared, and as Little Cherry just said, Li Kangge didn’t resist, indicating he might have anticipated this."

"Then what should we do?" your mother asked anxiously.

Du Ping’an turned to Li Fang, asking: "Where is Yanan?"

Li Fang was slightly taken aback, then replied: "Yanan and Ying Yue are upstairs."

"Get them down here. Fighting, causing chaos, us old guys are skilled, but for solving cases, we need to rely on Yanan, the criminal investigation prodigy."

Li Fang turned and headed upstairs. Soon footsteps echoed from the stairs, one of them particularly rushed. A graceful, tall woman with long legs appeared before everyone.

She rushed to your mother immediately upon appearing: "Auntie, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?"

Du Yanan had always been close to your mother from a young age, and she was also a good friend of Li Qiyi. However, due to work, the two only occasionally spoke on the phone, meeting much less than before.

Your mother’s mood wasn’t good, only reaching out to gently stroke Du Yanan’s pitch-black short hair, forcing a smile.

Du Yanan had already gotten the general situation from her mother, Li Fang, and immediately told your mother: "Auntie, leave this matter to me, I’ll definitely help clear Uncle’s name!"

At that moment, the doorbell rang again; you turned to open the door, and soon Gong Wu walked in with you. Gong Wu first saluted the two senior leaders, then said to Du Ping’an: "Commander, I have a relative in Yuhang City’s criminal investigation team. I just called him, and he said the case is very complex; someone is playing tricks, and their methods are highly sophisticated."

Hearing this, everyone frowned unconsciously.

Gong Wu continued: "My relative suggests bringing someone to Yuhang City so we can sit down for a detailed study and find a breakthrough."

You, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke: "I’ll go then."

"Little Yunyun!" your mother hastily said, "Let us adults handle this, you just focus on your studies."

"Studying serves no purpose at this time. Mom, you stay here; Gong Wu and I will go see his relative right away."

Finishing, you left without looking back.

Seeing you turn away, Gong Wu quickly saluted the two commanders and caught up with you briskly.

At this moment, Wei Yingyue happened to come down from the stairs, catching sight of your silhouette, lost in thought.

Once in the car, you promptly said to Gong Wu: "Cover for me in the coming days."

"Alright!" Gong Wu, being an old accomplice of yours, never objected when you spoke.

"As long as you, Captain, personally handle this, there’s nothing to worry about. But I truly didn’t expect your real age is even younger than mine. We all thought you were over thirty," Gong Wu said, pressing the gas pedal, quickly speeding away.

Your expression turned somber as you told Gong Wu: "Focus on driving, I’ll rest for a bit. Let’s resolve this matter by tonight."
