Chapter 1064: Bargain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Capital, Central Investigations Department meeting room

Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu sat on the sofa. While Zhao Yu was leisurely sipped his tea, Cui Lizhu looked worried. “Boss?” Cui Lizhu asked. “How do you think the higherups will be? I think this is all happening too quickly! Let’s investigate first and see if those five people really did die of murder? And… what will they think about the treasure?”

“They can think anything they want” Zhao Yu said calmly. Having gone through various huge cases, he could be considered a veteran. “Those five people are in Dong Bei. You can’t seriously expect us to go there? Lil Cui, don’t worry too much. If the higherups won’t let us investigate, then there must be a problem and we don’t need to listen to them blindly!”

“But… what if they do let us investigate? What then?” Cui Lizhu asked, her eyes widened.

“Hehe! Isn’t that even better? What I’m worried about now is all that paperwork!” Zhao Yu answered.

“Ah…” Cui Lizhu said, touching her chest. “My heart is beating so fast, it’s like…”

“Alright, enough. Don’t be so worried. I’m here, what are you afraid of?” Zhao Yu said reassuringly. However, deep down the thought of the hexagram scared him.

Knock knock, knock knock.

After a series of knocks, Chief Jiao Guofeng walked into the meeting room by herself. Due to them having a long history, Zhao Yu had formed a rapport with Chief Jiao and the moment she entered the room they exchanged looks, realizing something was wrong.

Cough, cough. Zhao Yu cleared his throat. “Lil Cui, you should go to the bathroom!” Cui Lizhu wasn’t stupid and knew what Zhao Yu meant, but she stilled obeyed and quickly walked out.

“Eh!” Chief Jiao placed a stack of documents on the table. “Zhao Yu, I really don’t know what to say! I asked you to take a break and you couldn’t even do that?”

“Don’t be a drag sis. What did the higherups say? Tell me!” Zhao Yu asked directly.

“About the treasure… it’s hard to say,” Chief Jiao said awkwardly. “I’ve already reported the matter to the higherups, but whether or not we can get any information is still a mystery. As for you… you should know that even if there is a treasure, it’s not within the scope of our jobs. The country has a special department for this sort of thing, we just need to hand the data over to them!”

“Oh, is that so?” Zhao Yu frowned. “Then if they find the treasure based on our leads, how will they distribute the money?” he asked.

“Please, did you even think this through?” Chief Jiao asked, clasping her hands together. “How can we complete our accounts when all this gold situation doesn’t even have a clear starting point? Let’s talk about things properly!” Chief Jiao said, taking out a document. “Although we have yet to come to a conclusion on the treasure, the murders are our responsibility. If any of these names are linked to murder, the higherups have decided that you will take full charge!”

“Ah, that’s what I’m talking about!” Zhao Yu said, reaching for the files. “As for my break, my training presentations, and my investigation unit…”

“Your break will be on hold, your presentations have been postponed, but we can’t afford to give you your unit,” Chief Jiao said. “As you know, the case in Gao Lanqi is no small task, and Leader Miao Ying has taken charge of your team to resolve the issue. At this time, we can’t let anything stop them! So, I’ll be assigning you a new team!”

“If that’s the case…” Zhao Yu said, contemplating his options. “Why not let me select a few people? It’s easier to work with people I’m familiar with.”

“No!” Chief Jiao said, unexpectedly rejecting him. “Zhao Yu, this case was submitted by you. You should know that if these five people were really murdered, then there could be some external conflicts and international relations involved. The case might get more complicated. The higherups have already chosen some experienced members to help you out. Also…” Chief Jiao paused. “This time you’ll only be the vice leader. There is another leader.”

“What the h*ll? What sort of joke is this?” Zhao Yu asked, raising his head defiantly. “Sending people to control me? No! I have my own way of working and I don’t like people interfering with that! You should know…”

“I know, this leader is just a leader in name. It’s just for show!” Chief Jiao explained. “In reality, all the investigations will be done by you!”

“That’s still a no!” Zhao Yu said, shaking his head. “I am investigating this case and will not have time to train rookies. What’s more, I’m not familiar with their character, it’ll only be a hassle.”

“Zhao Yu, listen to me!” Chief Jiao said sternly. “Firstly, this case concerns international relations. If it is not handled with care, there will be dire consequences. You need members who are experienced in this area. Secondly, regarding Jiang Ke’s prison break, although the higherups have chosen to look the other direction, that doesn’t mean they aren’t angry! On top of all of this, you barely rested a week. If you come back to post so quickly, they’ll only be badmouthed by others!”

“I don’t care,” Zhao Yu whined. “If you don’t let me pick my team, I’m not going to work, and I’ll take my break!”

“You…” Chief Jiao frowned. “Can you please be more professional? Rest assured, the higherups have chosen the best people for you!”

“Ah!” Zhao Yu sighed and placed the documents back on the table. “This is such a pity. Alright sis, I’ll be taking my leave. You better find someone else to take over the job, I’m off to prepare my script for my presentation!” Zhao Yu strode towards the door.

“Zhao Yu! What do you want!” Chief Jiao panicked. “You only think about yourself, but have you ever thought that you’re putting me in a tough spot? Assigning you as leader and giving you your team members are not within my control. If I had that power, I’d let you do whatever you want, but I don’t!”

“You want to investigate the case? This is the best I can do,” she continued. “If you’re still not satisfied, what more do you want from me? Do you want to drive me crazy? You can see if I spoil anyone else as much as I spoil you! Aish….” Chief Jiao let out a long sigh. “My effort has all gone to waste!”

“Uhm… why do you say that?” Zhao Yu asked. It was the first time he had seen Chief Jiao show such weakness. “Fine, let’s compromise. The leader and members don’t matter, but I still want my people. We can meet in the middle, right?”

“You!” Chief Jiao pointed at Zhao Yu angrily. “You fearless b*stard! Do you actually dare demand your own terms with the Investigations Unit? Fine, I’ll go file the application papers. Argh, I don’t know why I don’t hate you by now!”

“That’s because you love me a lot!” Zhao Yu smiled widely. “Relax! I will definitely solve this case well. When this case is cracked, don’t forget to assign the Hua Yun Mountain Massacre Case to me!”

“Fine, I’ll ask the higherups now. Wait for my news!” Chief Jiao told him. She stood up to leave and Zhao Yu hurriedly sent her off.

Walking out the door, Chief Jiao smirked and whispered under her breath. “Little monkey, you’re still too young to play on the same level as me!”
