Chapter 122: I Want a Guarantee

Have to say, this offer is very sincere.

Aren't you afraid of being cannon fodder?

I'll assign the people around me to you, let you command them however you like, and see what reason you have left to refuse.

Yu Dazhang's head was buzzing.

He'd been schemed against after all.

The other side actually knew what he was afraid of.

This proposal — the other party had already worked it out before he even arrived.

Just as he didn't know how to respond, Ye Lin stepped forward and gave Yu Dazhang a crisp military salute.

"Ye Lin, National Security Special Operations Group, Team Four member, skilled in close-quarters combat, shooting, counter-reconnaissance, demolition…"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't—" Yu Dazhang jumped up from the sofa in a panic, waving his hands repeatedly:

"I haven't even agreed yet, what are you doing?"

This damned sense of ceremony makes a person's blood boil just watching.

If he hadn't been prepared, he would have agreed on the spot just now.

"I believe you have no reason to refuse."

Li Mingzhao said, taking out a document and handing it to Yu Dazhang:

"Take a look first, then decide."

After Yu Dazhang took it, he flipped through it quickly.

The contents weren't complicated — it was an investigation record on a small group.

This group was made up of a bunch of second-generation rich kids; calling it a group was generous, there were really only three of them.

May 2004, suspected of murdering a 17-year-old youth; after investigation, released without charge.

Early 2005, suspected of illegal street racing causing two deaths and seven injuries; during the investigation, all three provided alibis, and later someone else turned himself in.

July 2006, suspected of using drugs to control underage girls…

Yu Dazhang flipped slower and slower, and by the last page his face was terrifyingly dark.

"Why not arrest them?" he asked coldly.

It was obvious these cases had just been compiled by National Security.

The leads had only surfaced through the investigation of this small group.

Suspected in so many cases, yet they got off every time.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

The answer was self-evident!

They were definitely no ordinary people — or rather, the backgrounds behind them were beyond anything Yu Dazhang could imagine.

If not for National Security's investigation, you couldn't even find a blemish on these people's records.

"We arranged for people to make arrests at the same time as the investigation." Li Mingzhao looked somewhat helpless:

"But we were still one step too late."

"I mean…" Yu Dazhang took a deep breath:

"Why weren't they arrested before?"

His meaning was clear — this small group had done so many heinous things over so many years, why were they still free?

If they'd been caught early, none of this later business would have happened.

"You don't really think our National Security is omnipotent, do you?" Li Mingzhao looked at him as if he were an idiot:

"Every department has its own scope of duties; even if we wanted to interfere, we'd have to know about it first."

"The reason we noticed them this time is because these three people were the hospital's original investors, and the major shareholders holding sixty percent of the equity."

Yu Dazhang of course knew his question just now was naive, but he just couldn't swallow his anger.

At a time like this, not finding someone to interrogate just felt like something was missing.

Some friends are asking.

Can something this outrageous really happen?

Not only does it happen, it…

Hey, why did my hand just tremble.

Let me mention one that many people know about — Sun Xiaoguo.

He was sentenced to death and still got out of prison, even changed his name and kept on living — if something like that can happen, what else is impossible?

And his parents weren't even the kind of people with extraordinary power.

Let me mention another one everyone knows well — the Nan case.

The reason this case couldn't be solved was that the police couldn't get past the villa complex.

And the people living in that area were all rich or noble.

That was a provincial capital city.

Without absolute evidence, the police couldn't enter that place.

The surrounding restaurants were torn apart, not a single lead, and in the end it could only become a cold case.

With an important link missing from the reasoning, solving the case was basically impossible.

The case before us is very similar to these two. This small group made up of second-generation rich kids has money, people, and backing.

Conventional means would have a hard time taking them down.

Yu Dazhang closed the file and looked at Li Mingzhao:

"I'll take this job, but I want one guarantee…"

"I know," Li Mingzhao interjected.

"I guarantee they will face legal sanctions."

Leader, you're talking absolute nonsense... Yu Dazhang almost blurted this out.

There's a saying: Law and reason do not exist apart from human sentiment.

This is the law's greatest loophole!

As long as this phrase exists and people believe it, the law can never achieve absolute fairness.

He trusted the promise from the National Security Bureau; he simply didn't trust the final verdict.

"I don't care about that, nor is it within my jurisdiction," Yu Dazhang said solemnly.

"In this matter, I seek no merit, only to avoid fault."

Please... collect... 6... 9... the... book....!

"No matter what happens, you must protect me."

"Even if we fail to catch the culprit in the end, it must not affect me in any way."

This must be stated upfront.

Those second-generation elites will do anything; facing such people, one must have someone backing them up.

It's not that Yu Dazhang is cowardly; this is called preventing trouble before it arises.

No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident comes first, so getting insurance in advance is very necessary.

"Agreed, I can promise you right now," Li Mingzhao replied without a second thought.

"You can go into this light and unburdened, without any mental burden."

That's enough... Hearing these words, Yu Dazhang felt much more at ease.

However, he still had one thing to confirm.

"Ye Lin, is it?" Yu Dazhang looked at her and asked.

"Can you achieve absolute obedience?"

Li Mingzhao had said before that she was his gun.

This metaphor can also be understood as: shoot wherever pointed.

Yu Dazhang now wanted to test whether this gun was truly so obedient.

"Of course!" Ye Lin stood straight, her voice clear and loud.

"Always ready!"

"Good." Yu Dazhang nodded in satisfaction.

Those from the military are indeed different, full of spirit.

One look shows they are brimming with vitality.

"Kick him." Yu Dazhang pointed at Li Mingzhao sitting opposite.

"Do it right now."

Ye Lin:????

Li Mingzhao:!!!!

He calculated that Ye Lin dared not act.

Li Mingzhao was her direct superior.

Moreover, Ye Lin clearly came from the military; attacking a leader was something she wouldn't dare do even if scared to death.

Yu Dazhang did this just to tell the other party that he was someone daring to break the rules.

So, don't always try to set traps for me.

Nor should you put on a show of impassioned heroism and fearlessness before me; absolute obedience also depends on the situation.

If you truly are my gun, kick me once and let me see... Yu Dazhang stared at Ye Lin, his face full of mocking smiles.

Ye Lin truly did not move.

However, the moment she heard the order, she didn't look at Yu Dazhang but fixed her gaze on Li Mingzhao.

One second, two seconds...

Ye Lin bent her waist and arched her body, her legs slightly bent, her body leaning forward.

She was observing the opponent's opening... Yu Dazhang immediately noticed her subtle movement.

Could she really dare?

Just as Yu Dazhang was about to speak and stop her, he saw Ye Lin, like a female leopard, suddenly charge toward Li Mingzhao.
