Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1966 - 1985: Prelude to Taking Over (Part 5)
"What’s wrong? Did they use her name or not? If she’s done something foolish, I’m the one to approve it." Huo Beijiang was already against letting Nan Fei take over the Special Action Department, let alone letting her use Ding Meichen’s people.
It’s not like there’s no one else available; Ding Meichen’s people should all be thrown into the special prison.
"You..." Xiao Erzi had never seen someone so arrogant before, and immediately wanted to teach him a harsh lesson. However, he was pulled back by Houzi, 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Don’t move!" Houzi glared at Xiao Erzi and said in a low voice, "He’s the grandson of the old director. We can’t do anything about him shouting names."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Erzi’s lips trembled. He looked at Huo Beijiang and finally said angrily, "Is it him? Is he the one trying to disband our Special Action Department? Damn it! How can there really be no bad people in this world?"
Houzi nodded heavily.
Nan Fei heard their conversation clearly but said nothing.
"It’s like this!" Houzi explained steadily, "The two of us were selected by the old director from over a thousand field officers, based on overall strength, psychological quality, and so on! Although we used to work under Ding Meichen, neither of us participated in the operation involving Huo Dongfeng."
He knew what the Huo family hated most, so he was quick to clarify his position.
Anyone who participated in the Huo Dongfeng case has been thoroughly purged over the past half month. The reason he didn’t participate was mainly because Ding Meichen had her reservations. Ding Meichen was indeed a sophisticated woman; she knew which people she could control and which she couldn’t.
Houzi was the strongest under her command and the hardest to control. She didn’t use Houzi for such dirty work and kept it hidden from him. Fortunately for him, otherwise, he too might not have escaped a deadly fate this time.
No—death would be a mercy!
If you fall into the hands of the Special Action Department, there are a thousand ways to make life worse than death.
"I understand." Nan Fei fully trusted her grandmother’s abilities. She had already guessed what was going on and smiled, saying, "Please lead the way!"
"This way, please."
"Thank you!"
After a few exchanges, Nan Fei also noticed that Xiao Erzi, young and a bit impulsive, was nothing compared to Houzi, who was indeed unusual. Sharp, formidable, composed, and deeply scheming.
Huo Beijiang noticed too. What he said earlier was just to deliberately test them.
The facts proved that his grandmother’s eye for choosing people was as good as ever.
The internal design of the Special Action Department was different from regular units, especially the office in the north of the city since the highest-level detention cells were here. With hidden sentries everywhere, the internal structure resembled a maze. Without a guide, an ordinary person would easily get lost.
Nan Fei followed behind Houzi, observing carefully, while Huo Beijiang pressed his thin lips with an unhappy expression.
"Alright, stop looking. What’s there to see?"
This guy is still angry!
"Don’t be mad!" Nan Fei quietly tickled Huo Beijiang’s palm with her finger, making him unable to finish what he wanted to say.
After a while, Huo Beijiang asked, "Are Yin Nan and Ji Yuanjie here?"
"Yes, Su Hai and Yu Fengji are here too."
"Ha!" Huo Beijiang sneered, "It’s quite lively here!"
Houzi wanted to say that, in reality, Yin Nan, Ji Yuanjie, and Yu Fengji often came here. Ding Meichen was still being held here. Given Yin Nan and Ji Yuanjie’s loathing and hatred for her, there’s no way they’d be satisfied without seeing Ding Meichen’s life become worse than death.
Yu Fengji comes partly to retrieve people, and partly for fear that Ding Meichen might die directly in the detention cell.
