Chapter 1895 - 1913: Conference Turmoil (Part 8)
People from the Security Company were completely unimpressive to Ning Di, far less capable than Lu Jin, let alone compared to himself.
It would be strange if Ning Di regarded them highly; he couldn’t even pass the test himself, so there’s no way he could send these people to the boss.
"Get in touch with Lu Jin directly; once Emil can stabilize the situation, they can return." Since Huo Beijiang returned, he hadn’t really worried about the matters in Kannaya. Although Emil is quite young, he’s still a seed of the Kannaya Royal Family, inherently a politician deep down.
Huo Beijiang thought highly of him.
"Alright, I’ll urge them. I can’t be at ease with no one around you," Ning Di thought as he drove, pondering who in the security company could take Lu Jin’s place if he couldn’t return promptly.
Scanning his mind, there were a few who could barely manage. If those guys heard they could serve as the boss’s personal guards, each might be overjoyed. It was the most sought-after job in their army.
Being around the boss meant life wouldn’t be mundane, and there would always be opportunities to earn merit.
Despite Lu Jin’s young age, he was indispensable whenever important tasks arose by the boss’s side.
"Just handle it as you see fit." Huo Beijiang never meddled in such small matters, as Ning Di always arranged things nicely. "How are Su Hai and Yin Nan progressing with their investigation? I’ve already handed them the evidence, and failing to uncover anything would be a real disappointment."
Once discussing official matters, Huo Beijiang’s demeanor became slightly stern, and his somewhat roguish smile disappeared from his face.
"I presume quite a bit has happened throughout my day at the conference?"
"Indeed!" Ning Di nodded. "There’s been a lot going on. They’ve already pinpointed the mastermind, and are likely busy capturing them now!"
"How about Hong Luan? Have you figured out their true identity?" Actually, Huo Beijiang recognized Pocky the instant the car accident happened. After all, he was a member of the Huo family. During festivals, many people came to pay respects, and he interacted with many while following his grandparents.
He still recalled that before his grandmother moved to Qi Li Town, there were two groups during New Year visits: one specifically for his grandfather, and those for his grandmother, which were all people from the Special Action Department.
Pocky was too low-ranked to have the privilege of paying respects to his grandmother. Not just him, even his superior lacked such privilege. But Pocky did come by, merely helping to carry things as a driver, with no chance to enter the main gates.
Despite his young age back then, Huo Beijiang had a good memory, and long forgotten figures resurfaced forcibly during the car accident.
And so came the scene that followed.
The information about Pocky’s superior being related to Hong Luan was something Huo discovered formally after taking charge of the Huo family upon returning to the Imperial City. During that period, he was overwhelmingly occupied with clarifying the resources and connections the Huo family had. Learning the most fundamental aspects of the family that had become urgent during his absence for many years.
The Special Action Department needed his particular attention. Only after thoroughly understanding did he decide to let go of it. After the passing of his grandfather and cousin, it became inappropriate for the Huo family to hold onto such vast resources with no Dinghai shenzhen present.
Huo Beijiang almost without hesitation, relinquished what should be relinquished. He wasn’t a greedy person; some things drew too much attention and were no longer fit for the Huo family. This was exemplified by his indifferent stance upon his return, and the reckless actions he sanctioned in Kannaya.
