Chapter 1877 - 1895: Ding Meichen (Part 17)
"Huo Beijiang will personally invite her," Yin Nan changed the topic, "But whether you get involved in the great purge still depends on your performance."
"Pocky’s superior is Hong Luan."
"A woman?"
Ji Changfeng smiled wryly, "Her rank is even higher than mine, and she’s been with the Special Action Department longer, considered one of our internal veterans. Even I am not qualified to access her files."
Before taking the call, he was investigating and had just discovered Hong Luan behind Pocky and Ji Wan. In fact, as soon as either Pocky or Ji Wan surfaced, it was easy to trace them to their superior, Hong Luan. The hard part was Hong Luan’s true identity, which could not be determined in a short period.
"I need time."
"How long?"
"A week." That’s the fastest he could promise, and he would have to swallow his pride to ask a few elders for help. If losing face wasn’t enough, he would have to resort to unconventional methods.
Yin Nan hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and hung up the phone.
Nan Fei had been listening quietly all along, but her mind was constantly working, calculating. Once Yin Nan hung up, she immediately spoke, "A week is too late. No one can guarantee what will happen in that week, or what actions Hong Luan might take."
Since she has managed to stay hidden for so many years, it implies she’s not a fool. Now that her subordinates have been exposed, it’s only a matter of time before she’s tracked down. A clever person would react quickly and erase all traces swiftly.
If Hong Luan is not only clever but also particularly decisive, fleeing would be the wisest choice.
Nan Fei couldn’t imagine what criminal could withstand the joint forces of the Huo Family and the Yin Family police. Hong Luan must know this too; she might have already escaped by now.
"Then Bei Jiang must immediately invite Granny Huo to take action." After saying this, Yin Nan gave a meaningful look to his subordinate standing outside the door, instructing him to inform Huo Beijiang, who was still arguing with people in the military department, to go to the Beidaihe Sanatorium after coming out from the military department.
"Do we really have to let Great Granny get involved?" Fu Xinwu looked surprised, "Won’t it be too taxing for her?"
Huo Kewei didn’t speak. His mind was preoccupied with avenging his father, leaving no room for other concerns.
"It’s alright, Bei Jiang and I have already discussed this." In fact, this decision was made by Huo Beijiang himself, "Currently, only Granny Huo’s personal intervention can calm the internal disputes of the Special Action Department and thoroughly sever the ties between the Huo Family and the Special Action Department."
The individuals nurtured by the Huo Family matriarch are likely to be handed over entirely to Ji Changfeng this time.
Fu Xinwu glanced at Nan Fei thoughtfully but didn’t say anything. She could almost guess that her uncle inviting Great Granny out must be for the sake of her aunt. Only this way could the special action department’s entanglement with her aunt be completely severed.
Otherwise, even if they stopped them now, if the Special Action Department people remain relentless, it would be hard to guard against them returning.
Nan Fei, of course, noticed Fu Xinwu’s gaze. She just pursed her red lips. Although she appeared calm, her heart was deeply moved. With Bei Jiang sacrificing so much for her, any more unjust encounters could be soothed away.
She now had a pressing desire to do something for Bei Jiang. She didn’t want to just be a protected figure, forcing even Granny Huo, at her advanced age, to have to deal with those unpleasant matters again.
