Meanwhile, in the city's criminal investigation team, Captain Jiang Chao was frustratingly going through someone's file. Attached to it was a photo, and it was none other than Xiao Tian!
Just last night at two o'clock, the city's bureau chief Bai Tao called him, saying someone named Xiao Tian would be joining their team and asking him to take care of him.
Jiang Chao still couldn't figure it out. Bai Tao, who had always been known for his integrity, was giving someone special treatment?
And what background does this guy have? All he had was a photo without any information. Wasn't this obviously setting him up?
It seemed to him that Xiao Tian must be some rich kid from Beijing, coming here to gain false credentials.
And Jiang Chao has always hated these unskilled connections, who can't handle hard work, feel the easy tasks are beneath them, take credit that's not theirs, and leave others to take the blame when things go wrong. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
You couldn't join a different sector? Why insist on coming to the most dangerous criminal investigation team? Seeking death in a different way?
"Knock knock!"
As he was lamenting over this, the door was knocked on.
"Come in!" Jiang Chao shouted angrily, and a young man slyly peeked in, grinning, "Hello, I'm Xiao Tian, here to report."
Jiang Chao's face darkened instantly. This shifty-looking guy wants to be a cop? Which part of him looked like a policeman? His bandit-like demeanor wasn't something he noticed?
Jiang Chao felt his blood pressure rising, showing an unfriendly face, "So, which branch do you want to go to?"
He didn't want to see Xiao Tian even for another second and just wanted to send him off quickly.
"I'm not picky, as long as the work is minimal, holidays are plentiful, and the pay is high, plus three meals a day with a night snack!" Xiao Tian said with a cheeky smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao's anger boiled even more. He hadn't even started working and was already afraid of it. This guy was clearly here just to slack off!
"Alright, then head to the West City Branch." Jiang Chao said coldly.
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up and he asked, "West City Branch? Is the work easy there?"
"Easy."
"Are there a lot of beautiful women? If not, I won't go." Xiao Tian said arrogantly.
Heaven and earth as my witness, if not for his age and his status, Jiang Chao truly wanted to engage Xiao Tian in a three hundred-round brawl!
"Plenty! So many you can't imagine!" Jiang Chao growled through gritted teeth.
"Oh." Xiao Tian was puzzled, lots are lots, why grit your teeth about it?
"Well..."
"Get out!!!"
Before Xiao Tian could continue speaking, Jiang Chao finally couldn't hold back and roared.
Xiao Tian shrunk his neck, silently thinking Jiang Chao must be on his period today, and quickly darted out of the scene.
Jiang Chao, rendered speechless, dialed Bai Tao's number, "Chief, what kind of person did you arrange for me? This isn't a cop, it's a hooligan!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Tao's voice came through solemnly, "This person has more battle achievements than all our predecessors combined since Shanghai's founding. Show some respect!"
"Huh? No way?" Jiang Chao was shocked instantly. More achievements than all the predecessors, was this a joke?
"You might not believe it, but don't drag me down if you want to die!" Bai Tao scolded directly and hung up the phone.
Jiang Chao was dumbfounded. This guy had such a remarkable background? He wasn't just a wealthy second-generation?
After a moment of daze, Jiang Chao hurriedly turned on the computer and typed Xiao Tian's name, immediately gasping!
"SSS-level encrypted file! No access!"
......
Meanwhile, inside the West City Branch, all officers were intensely discussing a vicious kidnapping case.
At the same time, a middle-aged couple was anxiously waiting for something, with the beautiful woman crying uncontrollably.
"Ying, don't worry too much. Zhengjie will be fine. They're only after money," Lan Qi, as the husband, had to take on the responsibility of comforting his wife, even though he himself was distraught.
But he was at least a business tycoon, knowing that he couldn't lose his composure now. If he lost it, his wife would be even more hopeless.
"Indeed, Mrs. Lan, we will do everything possible to capture the kidnappers, and your son will not come to any harm," West City Branch's chief Yang He also reassured her, aware that this couple had a significant background and dared not take it lightly.
"I hope so." Xu Ying nodded tearfully, but there was no relief on her face.
"Ring ring."
Just at this moment, Lan Qi's phone rang, instantly tensing up all the officers present.
"Surveillance team, tracking team, get moving!" Yang He commanded urgently. Once everything was ready, he signaled Lan Qi to answer the call.
"Hello," Lan Qi said as he answered the phone with a grim face.
"Mr. Lan, is the item we asked for ready?" The caller didn't beat around the bush.
"Why do you want that? Isn't money better?" Lan Qi asked in a deep voice.
"Money? Do we look so superficial?" The kidnapper snorted coldly, "Prepare the item, or prepare to collect your son's body!"
Then, the caller hung up.
"Did you track the signal?" Yang He asked urgently.
"They hung up too quickly. We couldn't track the signal in time," said the officer responsible for tracking.
"Sigh, another effort in vain. The opponent is skilled in anti-surveillance techniques. No matter how many times they call, we gain nothing."
Everyone sighed. The situation wasn't looking good.
Hearing this, Xu Ying felt another wave of grief.
"Nothing gained? I don't think that's the case."
Just then, a teasing voice rang out, and everyone looked at the doorway in astonishment.
And then they saw a man with a worn-out air pushing the door open. Who else could it be but Xiao Tian?
