Chapter 483

Someone checked out my family's file in advance?

After hearing the custodian's words, Li Ang's brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Can you tell me who checked out the file?"

"I'm sorry, according to the bureau's regulations, this must be kept strictly confidential."

Looking at the custodian, who was very polite but also refused very firmly, Li Ang nodded and didn't pester him. Instead, he put away the approval slip, left the Archives Bureau, and walked toward the Secret Investigation Bureau building with a dark face.

His family of six were all perfectly normal ordinary people. Now that his parents had died in battle six years ago and Anna wouldn't be an adult until next year, after excluding his two six or seven-year-old siblings, the person who checked out the file must be targeting him.

Someone who is not only "interested" in him but also has the ability to check out the file—you don't even have to think to know who it is!

Li Ang Lane, Oliver Lane, Wayne Lane, Thomas Lane...

Looking at the small mountain of "Lane" family files piled on the table, the female police officer, whose eye sockets were slightly bruised, couldn't help but sigh, feeling that she really had bad luck with this damn surname!

First, she was assigned to investigate the rebels who assassinated the princess, only to find that the firearms abandoned at the scene belonged to the Lane family's arsenal, and the captured rebels also insisted that it was instigated by the Lane family. But because of the Lane family's lack of cooperation, the investigation had to be terminated.

Later, after finally digging up some clues and finding the trail of one of the rebels, she was disrupted by another "Lane" who had joined the rebels. Not only did she get played like a fool, but she also felt miserable for several days.

What's even more annoying is that in order to make up for her father's mistakes, even though she had been treated with such disdain by them, she still had to go out of her way to help him investigate the pension issue.

In order to get back the pension that had been withheld from the Lane family, and incidentally send that damn consolation officer from the military department to jail, she spent half the night checking files and only took a short nap just before dawn.

However, the pension matter had just been reported, and the two new cases assigned to her today were actually two more "Lanes"!

One was a commercial dispute between three noble families led by the Lane family and the Charle Department Store, and the other was a railway project that the Lane family was cooperating with the Road Administration Department on. After digging up the roadbed, it stopped work for no reason for half a year, and after being sued, they were required to verify the situation...

No... I just want to know, what's there to verify about this kind of thing? Are you all blind? Can't you see for yourselves if the road is broken or not? Do you have to send us over?

"Creak... creak..."

Looking at the two eye-catching red "Urgent" labels on the case files, the female police officer was so angry that she ground her little white teeth.

Although the name has the word "investigation" in it, we are the Secret Investigation Bureau! Secret, do you understand!

What we should be dealing with are scoundrels who collude with the enemy and betray the country, high-ranking officials who are corrupt and act recklessly, spies who have infiltrated the kingdom, and rebels who want to cause destruction!

Can you stop thinking of us every time you encounter something that needs investigation? To avoid taking responsibility, you push every trivial matter here? If I had known that secret police did this, I would have been better off...

"Isha."

Just as the female police officer was being tortured by the "Lane" files to the point of internal combustion, wishing she could spray fire and burn all these broken things, another secret police officer, who also looked exhausted, greeted her, threw a metal badge over, and said listlessly:

"Interrogation Room 17 is empty. If you want to use it, hurry up!"

"I'm going right now!!!"

After reaching out and catching the iron badge, the female police officer, who had finally found an excuse, stood up with a start, walked out of the main office with a joyful face, and then ran downstairs, thumping away as if there were dogs chasing her.

However, just as she rushed into the lobby on the first floor and was about to head to the interrogation room located underground to play mind games with those damn rebels, she was stopped by someone again.

"Isha~"

After receiving her puzzled gaze, a middle-aged female police officer who had a good relationship with her on weekdays chuckled, then smiled and gestured with her chin toward behind her.

"Look over there, someone is looking for you~"

Someone is looking for me? Who?

Looking in the direction of the other person's words, after seeing that familiar face, the female police officer who had just escaped from the "Lane Hell" couldn't help but have her face fall, and then she turned around and left without hesitation. Don't call me, I don't know him!

???

This is... having a tantrum?

Looking at Isha, who left directly in a "huff" without saying a word, and then looking at the man who was "longing" nearby, the middle-aged female police officer, although she had the heart to help ease the relationship, was hindered by the bureau's regulations and could only sigh helplessly, explaining to Li Ang, who was standing in the reception area:

"I'm sorry... logically speaking, I should let you in, but our bureau's regulations are quite special. Under normal circumstances, we don't allow outsiders..."

"What are you here for?"

Just as the middle-aged female police officer was halfway through her explanation, a cold questioning voice suddenly came from behind her.

She turned her head in surprise and found that Isha, who had just left, had actually followed her back. At this moment, she was glaring at the man in front of her through her, and questioning him with a face full of disgust:

"Didn't you call me a lunatic before, tell me to get lost, and say that it's best not to harass you until I die?"

"What? Do you think I went too far?"

Nodding to thank the middle-aged female police officer who helped her call someone, and after waiting for her to walk away a bit, Li Ang rubbed his buttocks, which had only stopped swelling this morning, couldn't help but lower his voice, and retorted with a dark face:

"You can scream and hit my butt at the shooting range—do you dare say there's nothing wrong with your brain?"

???

Ah, this?!

After peeking at Li Ang's lip movements and identifying the content of their conversation, the middle-aged female police officer who was quietly eating melon in the distance was shocked, almost falling directly to the ground.

No... at the shooting range? Are young people today this open? Or am I already old? Can't keep up with the times?

"You... you shut up!"

Hurriedly turning her head to look around, and finding that everyone was busy with their own things and seemed not to notice them, the female police officer hurriedly pulled Li Ang out of the main door and said through gritted teeth:

"You scoundrel rebel! Didn't we agree to forget about the shooting range and never see each other again in this lifetime? What exactly do you want to do?!"

"What do I want to do? I should be the one asking what you want to do!"

After glaring at the female police officer with an unkind expression, Li Ang reached out to her and said irritably:

"We agreed never to see each other again, yet you secretly checked my files? Hurry up! Hand over all my family's files!"

Files? So that's what you came for!

After hearing Li Ang's words, the female police officer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then slapped Li Ang's outstretched palm fiercely and looked up to glare back again.

"I checked the files first, why should I give them to you? Wait until I'm done reading them!"

"Just because those are my files!"

"Those aren't your files, they are the files 'about you' collected by the Archives Bureau!"

After being busy for half the night with the pension withheld from the Lane family, the female police officer finally had some confidence when facing him, and she directly refused with her neck stiff:

"Go back and wait! After I'm done using them in a few days, your files will naturally go back! You... why are you looking at me like that?"

"..."

I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at the people in your bureau... Is everyone in your line of work this nosy?

After glancing at the people in the lobby of the Secret Investigation Bureau who were acting as if nothing had happened, but for some reason were gathering more and more, Li Ang clicked on the badge system speechlessly and looked at the new badge he had just obtained.
