CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169: I THOUGHT YOU HAD ALLOWED IT

Lin Chengsheng’s gaze sharpened.

He suddenly remembered that call from the Security Bureau.

Why was it the Security Bureau calling him, and not the police?

Lin Chengsheng wasn’t a fool; on the contrary, he was very shrewd. Otherwise, the Lin Family wouldn’t be able to reside peacefully in the Inner City of Beijing.

"Thank you, Officer Du. May I ask which hospital my son is in? I’d like to see him."

Lao Du’s face looked somewhat peculiar, as if unsure how to respond.

Lin Chengsheng immediately had his secretary and bodyguards leave the room, staying alone with Officer Du.

Lao Du, seeing there were no outsiders, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lin didn’t go to the hospital; he’s already back in Anhe."

What?

Didn’t go to the hospital, went back to Anhe?

How did he get to Anhe?

Lin Chengsheng’s expression changed dramatically, and Lao Du quickly signaled him to be quiet.

He continued, "Mr. Lin’s body is currently fine, but this case is somewhat complicated; the killer attacked Mr. Lin at the airport."

Airport...

Lin Chengsheng seemed to realize something, his eyes narrowing, a hint of anger flashing in them.

Lao Du didn’t elaborate much. According to the killer’s confession, he had a vendetta against the Lin Family, so when he saw Mr. Lin, he couldn’t resist making a move to kill him.

But this reason was too far-fetched.

Not to mention that Mr. Lin rarely goes out and even when he does, it’s to school, always with a car coming and going, and no paparazzi dare to publish his photos. How could a lowly killer know Lin Yuanyang is the Lin Family’s young master?

Moreover, only the people around him knew Lin’s family young master’s itinerary. There’s no way he could have been told. How did he know that Lin Yuanyang would be at the airport at that time?

All these questions suggest that there is someone behind the killer, and it’s someone close to the Lin Family’s young master. Yet, the killer was resolute, confessing directly in the interrogation and shouldering all the sins himself.

"Thank you, Officer Du, for your trouble." Lin Chengsheng restrained his anger and thanked Officer Du.

He walked briskly toward the exit.

He planned to return to the old mansion and coincidentally encountered the Bai Family’s car outside the police station.

Bai Yusen got out of the car and walked straight to the young girl Lin Chengsheng just met in the conference room, bending down to whisper.

Lin Chengsheng paused for a moment, pondering before striding over to greet Bai Yusen, "Yu Sen, I really have to thank Tangtang and this young lady for their help yesterday. Otherwise, I might have had to suffer the pain of losing a child."

Bai Yusen received the call from the police station yesterday, hurried over, saw that Lin Yuanyang was fine, and then had the two safely escorted back to Anhe.

Seeing Lin Chengsheng today wasn’t unexpected, but he was holding his resentment, so he didn’t seem too cordial.

"Family Head Lin, no need to be polite. The Bai Family and the Lin Family are old friends. Xiao Yang grew up before my eyes. We wouldn’t sit by in such matters, and besides, Xiao Yang and Tangtang are both studying in Anhe now. They should help each other."

Lin Chengsheng detected the distant tone in Bai Yusen’s words and somewhat awkwardly asked, "Yu Sen, where is Xiao Yang living in Anhe?"

Bai Yusen was surprised and knowingly asked, "Family Head Lin, you didn’t know about Xiao Yang going to Anhe? I thought you consented to it."

Lin Chengsheng looked embarrassed. Ever since Lin Yuanyang moved out with others after he married Mei Fang, he hadn’t returned to the Lin Family mansion.

He would only visit the Lin Family’s old mansion on weekends to see his mother until, upon his mother’s suggestion for Mei Fang to move to the mansion for care during pregnancy, he completely erupted, not only getting angry at the old mansion but nearly harming Mei Fang and the unborn child.

Since that explosion of conflict, Lin Yuanyang never returned to the old mansion.

Out of anger, he hadn’t inquired about Lin Yuanyang, intending to let him cool off before talking. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanyang silently left for elsewhere, even transferring schools.

It was only because of the recent attack that he realized Lin Yuanyang had been with the Bai Family all along and had gone out of town.

But he had been unaware of all these things.

Lin Chengsheng felt both embarrassed and annoyed.

Embarrassed that the Bai Family had witnessed their family’s joke, annoyed that as the Family Head, he couldn’t have a grasp on all Lin Family matters.

Bai Yusen didn’t care what he was thinking, nor did he wish to forge connections with this kind of "step-father." He looked at Ji Ning and asked, "Shall we go?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly.

They still needed to report to the Security Bureau.

Since Ji Ning’s superpower was exposed at the police station, the director had to report it to the special department of the Security Bureau.

Ji Ning now had to file a report with the special department of the Security Bureau.

Essentially, it’s a registration of superpower user information.

She originally didn’t want to deal with these official people, but after what happened, she felt the need for an official background.

The Security Bureau in Beijing is located in the Inner City, inconspicuous, without even a sign outside.

The gate is always closed, and inside is an ordinary old building with brick-red walls, about five floors high.

Occasionally, one can see cars entering and exiting the gate with automatic doors and no one managing it.

"When registering your information, you can write the Bai Group Security Management Center in your personal details."

As they got out of the car, Bai Yusen coughed lightly and said.

Ji Ning glanced at him. Bai Yusen’s expression was a bit unnatural. "I’m not taking advantage of you. It’s just that with this identity, you can avoid some unnecessary trouble."

"Thanks."

Bai Yusen coughed twice more and got out of the car from the other side.

The small courtyard was so quiet it seemed uninhabited. Ji Ning slightly lifted her head, glanced at a window of the small red building, withdrew her gaze, and followed Bai Yusen into the building.

Meanwhile, the man watching Ji Ning from the window showed a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Did that newcomer notice him, or was it a coincidence that she looked this way?

"Director Liu, this girl is reportedly a dual-power user, and one of her abilities is a rare healing ability. Can I recruit her?"

The man didn’t immediately make a statement, gazing out the window in thought.

He had known since last night that a dual-power user arrived in Beijing, but she was accompanied by the Bai and Lin Family members.

He still couldn’t determine if the girl was a superpower user belonging to these two families.

If she was, although she could still be recruited into the Security Bureau, she couldn’t be placed in a core position.

If she wasn’t, what conditions would he need to offer to persuade her to join the Security Bureau?

Whenever he encountered a superpower user with such high talent and special abilities, he had to be extremely cautious, ensuring that the power balance on the Hua Continent wasn’t disrupted.

"You personally keep an eye on the information that girl fills out. If she belongs to the Bai Family, first notify Bai Yusen. If she doesn’t, find a chance to contact the girl privately."

The man’s contemplation wasn’t long before he provided a response after the secretary inquired.

The secretary immediately nodded in agreement, turned, and left the office.

Inside the small red building, on the first floor, there was a guidance desk, unstaffed, with a 60-inch TV display hanging on the wall.

It broadcasted a rolling message in large letters: [Special Department Please Proceed to the Second Floor.]

Bai Yusen guided Ji Ning up the stairs, as the small red building had no elevator.

The staircase for one floor was two segments, each with 15 steps. When they reached the second-floor staircase entrance, they saw a tightly closed door.

On the wall by the door hung a special sensor, requiring a scan every time for entry and exit.

Ji Ning guessed it was used to scan the suppression ring.

Bai Yusen pressed the bell beside the sensor.

Soon, a slightly cold voice came from inside: "What is it?"

Bai Yusen replied, "For registration."

Almost as soon as the words fell, the tightly closed door emitted an opening "ding——"

Bai Yusen immediately pushed open the door.

Compared to the deserted first floor, the second floor was much livelier.

Four or five people in black uniforms were moving back and forth.

They didn’t wear masks, so their faces could be seen clearly, but each of their expressions was very serious.
