Chapter 984 - 486: Arguing with Reason? Extraordinary Importance

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s proposal.

Li Yu thought he had heard wrong.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo, did you say you want to pretend to be a couple with me? I must have heard wrong, right?"

At this moment, Li Yu was genuinely a bit dubious.

She even wondered whether this was about the investigation or a rare meeting between Luo Fei and herself.

But Luo Fei didn’t notice her abnormal reaction at all.

He simply saw that Li Yu’s eyes were dodging, her heart beating erratically.

Amused, he asked back.

"Li Yu, only when we devote ourselves fully to the case can we quickly uncover the truth."

"Otherwise, the longer we take to solve the case, the more dangerous it becomes for the kidnapped person, right?"

Luo Fei’s words.

Immediately made Li Yu realize that Luo Fei was discussing the investigation.

Instead, it was her who was overthinking, even letting her imagination run wild.

Thinking about Song Qingyu’s reluctant gaze when she left, her face filled with helplessness.

Clearly treating her as the only hope of finding her mother.

She quickly apologized.

"Sorry, Mr. Luo. I was just overthinking. After all, we have no authority abroad, so rashly going to arrest someone is not realistic. It might even put us in danger."

"On the contrary, your decision was too sudden. It really made people feel unprepared, and somewhat hasty."

Seeing Li Yu was hesitant.

At this point.

She hesitated to speak.

Indeed, generally in such cases, the whole serious crime team needs to convene a meeting to discuss the case.

After formulating a thorough plan, only then make a decision.

Determine the specific course of action.

Luo Fei didn’t think much, just quickly agreed.

"Li Yu, given our current situation, besides us personally going to the scene to investigate the case and confirm the facts, it seems there’s no better option, right?"

"After all, only we can get hold of this phone. Otherwise, if other officers are involved, they’ll just confiscate the phone and the data inside won’t be admissible as evidence."

"More importantly, the golden hour to solve cases is usually within 48 hours, but it’s almost been 72 hours since Ms. Lin disappeared."

After hearing her persuasion.

Li Yu realized.

Luo Fei was absolutely right.

If they refused to take action, perhaps no one would be able to help Song Qingyu.

Her mother might truly face some unknown fate.

Thinking about this.

Li Yu held her breath and concentrated.

Immediately on high alert.

"Mr. Luo’s idea is sound. It’s just unsure if Director Guan will agree..."

"I suspect with his temperament, chances are he absolutely won’t allow us to act independently and rashly."

But before Li Yu could think about how to phrase her communication with Guan Songhu.

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei had already dialed Guan’s number.

"Captain Guan, I have been considering discussing with you the plan to personally investigate the island. Just unsure if my proposal interests you..."

Noticing Luo Fei hesitating, clearly a bit uncertain.

Guan Songhu told him.

"Mr. Luo, I understand your thoughts."

"I also know you’re eager to solve the case. But you’re the leader of the task force and our most crucial officer here. I simply cannot easily let you go."

"After all, you have many cases in hand. If you suddenly lose contact or face unexpected situations upon arrival, it would be very problematic..."

Guan Songhu’s tone was hesitant.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Yet, this wasn’t his fault.

As it’s evident.

Luo Fei is the backbone of the entire Changli City serious crime team.

He has always been the team’s soul figure, focused on solving cases.

If by any chance his trip encounters trouble, if anything happens to him.

It wouldn’t just be a loss for Changli City, the upper leadership might even hold him accountable.

"Even Secretary Wang said you’re a rare talent, repeatedly solving cases. If I let you go and you encounter significant troubles, I might not end well."

Despite understanding Guan Songhu’s intention.

Not wishing for this key talent to take risks.

Luo Fei remained resolute.

"Director Guan, based on the clues we have, I am very certain there’s an internal connection between Zhu Guangming’s case and Song Qingyu’s mother’s disappearance. Perhaps it’s a foreign gang strategizing to extort and kidnap more foreigners for money. Broadly speaking, it impacts not just one or two people, but the friendships between two countries."

"Moreover, if our plan proceeds smoothly, perhaps we can hit three goals at once, suppress those fraud organizations’ arrogance."

"Therefore, we should immediately contact the embassy on Rob Island to prepare and cooperate actively, ensuring the safety of our citizens, don’t you think?"

Luo Fei’s intent was clear.

He believed.

Rather than wasting time worrying, it’s better spent solving the case.

Rather than worrying about what might happen once there, it’s better to focus on the task at hand.

Upon understanding his intention.

Director Guan hesitated for a moment.
