Chapter 365 - 364: Reporting
Sheng Zexi looked at Gu Jia Ning, who was playing dumb, and felt both amused and at a loss.
This person is really...
Sheng Zexi couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Jia Ning glared at him, "Don’t you dare laugh at me!"
"Anyway, since these cockroaches have such magical uses, don’t you think we could use them to check out the Lin Family for any evidence?" Gu Jia Ning suggested.
Sheng Zexi nodded, "Indeed."
"So do you want to use it, or should I?"
Seeing Gu Jia Ning’s eagerness, Sheng Zexi resolutely said, "I’ll do it."
Gu Jia Ning: ...Alright.
Actually, Sheng Zexi was also worried about Gu Jia Ning getting into trouble. His ability to act is certainly better than Ningning’s.
"When do you plan to use it?"
"Let’s wait until tonight."
"Makes sense, easier to act when the night is quiet!"
Just then, the little one on the bed let out a cry.
"Tuantuan is hungry, don’t cry, mommy’s here..."
-
Time quickly moved to the evening.
Sheng Zexi planned to act in the middle of the night.
After all, the middle of the night is when people sleep the deepest.
Gu Jia Ning, perhaps too excited, stayed up despite needing to sleep early.
"Ningning, you should sleep first. I’ll wake you up when it’s time for me to go." Seeing Gu Jia Ning’s eyes half-open and closing, Sheng Zexi felt sorry for her and just wanted her to get some rest.
Gu Jia Ning yawned, "Alright, I’ll go to sleep, but you must wake me up later."
"Okay."
Gu Jia Ning didn’t take long to fall asleep after lying on the pillow.
She didn’t know how long she slept before she was woken up again.
"Ningning, do you want to get up and watch?"
Watch what?
"No, I’m tired, I want to sleep."
"...Alright."
Gu Jia Ning felt like she was forgetting something, but the drowsiness overcame her, and she couldn’t remember what it was, so she decided to stop thinking about it.
She went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, a nimble cockroach slipped out of the house under the cover of night, into the darkness...
-
When Gu Jia Ning woke up again, it was already bright outside, and she could hear Xingxing and Yueyue playing.
Gu Jia Ning seemed to remember something and let out an "ah."
Sheng Zexi, busy in the kitchen, heard the noise and hurriedly ran in.
"What’s wrong, what happened?" Sheng Zexi immediately looked her over with concern, as if confirming she was alright.
Gu Jia Ning looked at him with a resentful expression, "Did you go out last night in the middle of the night?"
"I did."
"Then why didn’t you tell me? You said you would wake me up."
"I did call you."
"Impossible!" Gu Jia Ning’s eyes widened.
"I really did call you, but you were too sleepy and said you wanted to sleep. Think about it carefully, did that happen?"
Gu Jia Ning: ...
Gu Jia Ning thought back carefully, and it seemed that it really did happen.
Her expression immediately became a bit awkward.
"...Alright, I wronged you."
"So, how did it go last night? Any findings?"
Sheng Zexi nodded, "Yes, with what I’ve got, they can’t escape."
Gu Jia Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good."
"So what do you plan to do?"
"I plan to find Mr. Lu and hand over all the evidence to him!"
"Okay, sounds good."
No time to waste, so after breakfast, Sheng Zexi went to find Mr. Lu.
This period, Mr. Lu has been quite busy.
Although the typhoon had passed and the damage to Huan Sha Island was minimal, there were still some damages.
Especially with several houses collapsing.
So, disaster recovery was very important and needed to be done promptly.
Additionally, the group of people from Country R they had caught claimed Zhang Qiumei was behind it all.
But no one believed it, so although it was publicly stated that the case was closed, investigations and interrogations were still ongoing.
"Xiao Xi, why are you here? Aren’t you on leave?" Mr. Lu was a bit surprised seeing Sheng Zexi.
After all, he heard Sheng Zexi was on leave recently to take care of his wife during her postpartum period.
Being the son of an old friend, and with recent events drawing Mr. Lu and Sheng Zexi closer,
Mr. Lu had a very good impression of Sheng Zexi.
So seeing him now, he affectionately called him Xiao Xi.
Had he not been without a daughter, and Sheng Zexi not already married,
Mr. Lu would’ve found Sheng Zexi to be the perfect son-in-law.
"Uncle Lu, I have something important to discuss, related to the people from Country R!" Sheng Zexi got straight to the point.
Mr. Lu’s expression became serious, "Go on."
Sheng Zexi then produced some letters.
He had found them in the Lin Family’s study’s secret chamber last night, after turning into a cockroach.
After a brief look, it was clear that over the years, Father Lin had contacts in Country R.
So, there were quite a few letters left behind.
All stored in the Lin Family’s study’s secret chamber.
If he hadn’t looked carefully, the secret chamber wouldn’t have been easy to find.
He only took a few letters; the rest were still in the Lin Family’s study’s secret chamber.
Meanwhile, over here...
Mr. Lu was initially puzzled, but after receiving the letters and going through them, his face darkened.
Especially since his hands were trembling slightly.
"The Lin Family, the whole family are Country R’s people!"
"This is terrifying!"
In an instant, Mr. Lu grasped the critical issue.
Lin Chushi was a brigade-level officer before; even if he’s been demoted, he is still regiment-level, a very high position.
And Father Lin is the second-in-command of Huan Sha Island.
Huan Sha Island is a strategic military location, directly across the sea from Country R.
If Huan Sha Island were to be infiltrated and controlled by people from Country R...
They could then easily invade this Country.
Terrifying, truly terrifying!
"Xiao Xi, where did you get these letters?" Mr. Lu asked with a stern face.
"I infiltrated the Lin Family and found them in the Lin Family’s study’s secret chamber. There are still many letters like this there!"
As for turning into a cockroach to infiltrate, that wasn’t to be mentioned.
"What, you infiltrated the Lin Family? You, you’re so daring."
"How could you dare, if you got caught, who knows how the Lin Family would react."
"Uncle Lu, I had no choice. I just found the Lin Family’s actions too suspicious..."
Sheng Zexi certainly wouldn’t say it was because of future newspapers. He just claimed it was his instinct.
"You and your instincts, they’re so precise... and daring."
That kid, his instincts were frighteningly accurate, and his boldness was terrifying as well.
Just because he doubted the Lin Family’s intentions, he dared to infiltrate their home, truly...
"You said there are still many letters in the Lin Family’s study’s secret chamber, right? Alright, I’ve got it, I’ll report this and handle it quickly."
"You can go back for now."
"Yes."
