Chapter Nineteenth: Tang Long, Top Secret A-Level

  Jiangning Public Security Bureau

  Today seems to be a bit different, Director Tang Long, who has always been punctual with his work hours and never left early, actually got off work at 4 pm, leaving many of the police officers who admire him confused.

  Tang Long, came to work in Jiangning 20 years ago.

  From a team leader, promoted to deputy director in three years, and promoted to director in eight years.

  Up until now, Jiangning's public security system has been under his responsibility.

  During his tenure in Jiangning, the public security of Jiangning was widely praised. In addition, during his term, he successively cracked several major national cases, which can now be said to be well-known throughout the country, and everyone has great respect for him.

  Tang Long is also widely recognized as a candidate for the next provincial public security department head.

  "Director, why are you going home so early today?" a female police officer asked with a smile.

  "My brother's son has arrived in Jiangning, I'll go pick him up and have dinner together, and also help him settle down." Tang Long seemed very happy, "It's been years since I saw my brother, and now his son has already graduated from university."

  "Haven't heard of a director having brothers before?" The female police officer was taken aback.

  "Not biological brothers, but closer than biological ones. You don't understand, that was a period of unbearable memories." Tang Long thought of many things, and his eyes flashed with a hint of warmth.

  The policewoman was somewhat surprised, for she knew how formidable Tang Long was.

  In the Jiangning Public Security Bureau, Tang Long's skills were unmatched. At the same time, his deductive ability was also top-notch. Some cases that others found difficult to crack, he could almost restore the scene at the time with just one glance, and his sense of smell seemed particularly keen, with many homicide cases being solved thanks to Tang Long's sharp sense of smell.

  "Director, then I won't delay your time anymore." The female police officer left with the file.

  Tang Long nodded and drove out of the Public Security Bureau.

  "Chu Lao."

  "I am."

  "Is Xiaowen here?"

  "Here, I'm at the antique shop. Speaking of which, I wanted to tell you something else, and it turns out that the nephew you mentioned is actually Su Wen, who helped me find my jade pendant on the train. He's a good kid." Chu Lao thought for a moment...

  "It's really fate." Tang Long also secretly felt it was a coincidence.

  "What's wrong? Do you have something urgent to call about now?" Chu Lao asked after some thought.

  "It's like this, Su Wen has just arrived in Jiangning and is unfamiliar with the place, so I plan to have him stay at my home." Tang Long thought for a moment before speaking the truth.

  Chu Lao was secretly shocked.

  Tang Long, who is second only to the mayor in Jiangning City and has a deep background, will have an unlimited future. The other day, when Tang Long asked him to help with a job, he thought Tang Long was just simply entrusted by someone. However, over the next few days, Tang Long called him every day, constantly asking if Su Wen had arrived, which made him feel that things were not normal.

  It seems that today's events have further confirmed Chu Lao's conjecture.

  Tang Long actually let Su Wen live in his house, this is no longer just being overly protective.

  "What's wrong, is there a problem?" Tang Long asked.

  "Not really." Chu Lao thought for a moment, then said reluctantly, "It's just that I've already arranged for Su Wen to stay in a place next to Jiangning University. That's my old residence, the environment is still okay."

  "It turns out that's the case, I'll ask Su Wen for his opinion later." Tang Long didn't directly reject Chu Lao, "Sorry to trouble you, Chu Lao. I'll pick up my daughter first and head over right away."

  "It's no trouble, it should be." said Chu Lao Dao.

  He wasn't trying to curry favor with Tang Long, mainly because he owed Tang Long a huge favor. The reason why Tang Long let him arrange work for Su Wen was on the one hand because of Su Wen's major, and on the other hand it was also because of this favor.

  Jiangning University gate.

  "Dad, why are you just coming now?" a little girl complained.

  If Su Wen were here, he would be utterly astonished, because this little girl was precisely the beauty on the bus.

  As for the beautiful female student's dad.

  Obviously, it's Tang Long.

  "There was a traffic jam on the road, and it took a while." Tang Long smiled, "Xiao Yao, don't be dazed, get in the car quickly, I still have to go pick up Su Wen soon."

  "Hmph, Su Wen is still Su Wen, you mention him more often than your own daughter." Tang Xiao Yao started to feel jealous, as she had heard Tang Long mention that name at least ten times in the past few days.

  "What's wrong, jealous?" Tang Long burst out laughing. "When you see Su Wen, don't act like a spoiled little princess. Speaking of which, the two of you are still engaged. I remember when I was chatting with his dad in the same trench, I accidentally promised you to him. If Su Wen really likes you, don't blame me."

  "Dad, how can you do this!!! In this day and age, you're still arranging marriages. What if he's a freak, won't you be harming your own daughter?" Tang Xiaoyao pointed at Tang Long, both shocked and furious.

  "Don't worry about it, just relax! At the time we were just casually talking, no one was trying to blackmail you. I'm telling you this only so that you don't bully Su Wen, who knows, he might still be living with us for a while." Tang Long sighed, his daughter really was a bit spoiled, and he needed to give her a preemptive warning!

  "Still want to live in our house?" Tang Xiaoyao pouted her small mouth.

  "It's not necessarily so, Chu Lao has already arranged a place for him to stay. However, since he came to me, I should show some hospitality, if he is willing, it's not impossible for him to stay at our home." Tang Long said.

  "Alright, alright. As long as he doesn't provoke me, he can live wherever he wants, and I won't bother him." Tang Xiaoyao said, getting into the car, with her butterfly bag also being tossed onto the back seat.

  At the same time, Lingyin County Public Security Bureau was performing a farcical scene.

  "What did the doctor say?" Liu Yong asked.

  "According to the doctor's diagnosis, not only were Huang Mao's three men misaligned in their skeletons, but the tendons and veins inside their bodies were also disordered. I investigated and found that domestically, there are no more than a hundred martial arts experts who can achieve the feat of separating tendons and bones. In other words, Su Wen indeed has a set of skills, at least he should have some foundation in martial arts."

  "It's really unbelievable, a young person is actually a master of martial arts."

  "Yes! I was startled myself."

  "What about the county head? Is Li Huan still arguing with Su Wen about martial arts?"

  "It's probably true, Li Huan's fierce old mother has already agreed. The county head had me investigate Su Wen's background this morning, presumably also planning to have Li Huan follow Su Wen."

  Liu Yong thought for a moment: "That's good too, how about the data survey?"

  "Waiting for news."

  The phone rang.

  "Boss Fang, I've found all the information you wanted, but..."

  "What's wrong, is there something wrong with Su Wen's information?"

  "It's not Su Wen's information, it's his father's information, and we don't even have permission."

  "What?"

  Liu Yong was also stunned.

  "Su Wen's father Su Donghe, all materials are marked as top-secret A-level, we don't have the authority to query."

  Astonished, terrified!

  Liu Yong felt that he had gotten himself into trouble, just digging up some information on Su Wen, and yet he had dug up such shocking news. A-level top secret, that's something that only the central government and a few major military regions can access, their county-level public security bureau is completely unqualified!

  The key is not this, A-level confidential revealed a very serious problem.

  Su Wen's father is not simple.

  "Director, what should we do?"

  Liu Yong took a deep breath and said, "Now things are no longer up to us to decide. Let's tell the county magistrate everything as it is. If he still agrees to let Li Huan go find Su Wen later on, then that has nothing to do with us."

  "Director, I'll go and handle it right away."

  "No, I'll go by myself this time."

  ……

  The sun has set and it's five o'clock.

  Chu Fei was in high spirits after signing a series of unequal treaties with Su Wen.

  "Let's wait another half hour, then we'll head back." Chu Fei thought for a moment, "By that time, my older cousin should also be off work. When you see her, don't give her any weird looks. Otherwise, I'll dig out your eyeballs."

  Su Wen was speechless, thinking to himself: "Is this really me?"

  Is his older cousin really that beautiful?

  Just then, Tang Long arrived at the door.

  Tang Xiaoyao jumped down from the car happily and put her butterfly bag back on.

  Tang Long looked at his daughter and said in a low voice, "Be more enthusiastic with Su Wen later, after we've received her, we can head back home. Considering the time, your mom should be almost done cooking dinner, and she's made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

  Tang Xiaoyao was somewhat impatient: "Dad, I just met Su Wen for the first time, how can you expect me to be enthusiastic? Okay, I'll try not to speak later. But speaking of which, Mom hasn't cooked for a long time, and Su Wen's face is really thick."

  The two of them were talking and were about to enter the Treasure Pavilion.

  Tang Long's phone suddenly rang.

  "Director, big news! The suspect in the 6/12 massacre case has appeared."

  "The jewel thief who went on a killing spree?"

  "Not bad, just now the crowd said that they saw the suspect in Kefeng Entertainment City, and we have already set up a capture plan. If everything goes smoothly, we can catch the suspect and put him in jail today."

  "Wait for me, I'll be right there."

  "Director, isn't it you?"

  "Let's put my business aside for now, this suspect is not ordinary. If I'm not mistaken, he must be a skilled martial artist. With just the few of you, it's possible that he'll get away."

  "Director, we'll wait for you to come over before making the arrest."

  "The suspect has finally appeared, we can't wait any longer. You all go to Kaifeng Entertainment City first, I'll rush over right away. We'll meet at the entrance of Kaifeng Entertainment City and take down the suspect together."

  "Yes, Director!"

  Tang Long hung up the phone and took a deep breath: "Xiao Yao, you also heard just now. Dad is going to catch a suspect, so he can't pick up Su Wen. Fortunately, we've arrived at Jibao Inn. You bring Su Wen back home later, and I'll hurry back as soon as possible."

  "Dad!"

  "What's wrong? You're so big now, can't even handle such a small matter. Su Wen is the son of my sworn brother, and you are my daughter, it's also acceptable for you to take his place."

  "Dad, I know. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Su Wen back to our home." Tang Xiaoyao clenched her fist and made a guarantee gesture, "But you have to be careful too, that suspect is a murderer, if things go wrong, he dares to kill anyone."

  "You still don't trust your old man, but I'm the most capable one." Tang Long patted Tang Xiaoyao's head, "Hurry up and go in, your task for today is to get Su Wen to come to our house for dinner, and also persuade him to live with us from now on."

  "I guarantee completion of the task." Tang Xiaoyao smiled and gave a military salute.
