Medical Examiner Can Revive the Dead-Chapter 355 - 405: Is This Kind of Deal a Double Standard?
This line, "Leader, you called for me?" contrasts sharply with the previous remark, "Damn it! Who’s calling me at this time!"
In fairness, Gao Xiao’s strength doesn’t really require him to show any respect to the three leaders of the Special Ninth Bureau.
But, after all, they are leaders, and it is the Special Ninth Bureau, a bureau that holds a distinct position.
He still wants to openly interact with this woman, to gain her power, and to have that power recognized by the Special Ninth Bureau, so he must lower his stance.
Otherwise, if he ends up being hunted by the Special Ninth Bureau like Mr. Lin was before, then all this power would be useless.
Yet, the inconsistency in his demeanor revealed deep scorn under the trembling eyelids of the woman.
Even more so than what was on her face.
Meanwhile, Gao Xiao, who answered the call, had already gotten out of bed.
His voice was raised a few notches:
"Is that Zhang Feng being unruly? Should we punish him?"
While saying this, a touch of excitement appeared on Gao Xiao’s face.
Whatever was said on the phone, Gao Xiao immediately nodded:
"Alright, leader, I’ll be right there!"
Hanging up, he quickly dressed and said to the woman lying naked on the bed:
"Just in time, I’ll test the new power you’ve given me. If it still doesn’t work, I won’t let you off!"
With that, he turned to leave!
But with a sound of "snap," the weakened woman grabbed Gao Xiao’s arm.
Gao Xiao turned and glared at her, snapping:
"What now?!"
The woman mustered all her strength to squeeze out a few words:
"Help me... get revenge..."
"Hmph!" Gao Xiao snorted coldly and said:
"Clean what’s on your lips and swallow it!"
The woman’s eyes showed hesitation, but she complied.
Watching the motion of her throat, a lewd glint flashed in Gao Xiao’s eyes as he chuckled:
"Don’t worry, as long as your power is useful, I’ll definitely kill him!"
"When I get back, you better serve me well again!"
Gao Xiao turned and left.
The door slammed shut with a "bang!"
"Ptooey!" The woman used all her strength to spit out what was in her mouth.
With a disgusted expression, she murmured:
"What a disgusting pig!"
As Gao Xiao rode the elevator up, his face was full of excitement.
His fists clenched and relaxed, clenched and relaxed again.
It seemed he was feeling the newfound power he had obtained, adjusting to his enhancements.
Amid his exhilaration, he murmured softly:
"How many times stronger I am now compared to before, that damned woman did keep something from me, but now..."
"Zhang Feng, is it?"
The light in his eyes turned cold and sharp.
Even a murderous intent seeped through.
Soon, he arrived at the door of that previous room.
Rudely pushing the door open before entering, he announced loudly:
"Come on, Zhang Feng, let me see what’s going on?!"
But stepping into the meeting room, he was stunned.
Inside, the three major leaders sat, and Qin Huan stood behind them.
Beside Qin Huan stood ten black-clad officers of the Special Ninth Bureau.
Yet Zhang Feng and his companions were nowhere to be seen.
This left Gao Xiao momentarily puzzled as he asked the three leaders:
"Leaders, where is that guy Zhang Feng?"
The first and second leaders didn’t respond.
The third leader, Zhang Tianzhi, beckoned to Gao Xiao and said:
"Close the door and come sit down."
Gao Xiao’s gaze paused slightly, completely confused about what was happening.
Did Zhang Feng run away?
If he ran, why weren’t they urgently chasing him?
With a hint of suspicion, he closed the door, walked into the conference room, and sat in the seat Zhang Feng had used.
Looking naively at the three leaders, he asked:
"What’s the matter, leaders?"
Zhang Tianzhi didn’t answer Gao Xiao and instead turned to look at Qin Huan.
Qin Huan understood and operated his phone.
The large screen slowly descended, and the image frozen on the screen made Gao Xiao’s pupils contract sharply!
The image showed the woman holding a tablet, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with needles piercing through Gao Xiao’s body, holding him in mid-air.
With a swish, Gao Xiao stood up from the chair he had just sat in and immediately roared at Qin Huan:
"Where did you get this?!"
After his roar, as if remembering something, he spoke again:
"Was the voice earlier yours?!"
"Were you in that room just now?! Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible, how did you do it?! Or is it..."
Gao Xiao slowly turned to look at the three leaders, his face gradually filling with venomous resentment:
"You... have been monitoring me?"
"Heh!" The mocking laugh came from Zhang Tianzhi.
"Monitoring you?" he disdainfully questioned Gao Xiao:
"We placed too much trust in you! If it weren’t for Forensic Doctor Zhang, how long would you have kept us in the dark?!"
"Bang!" with Zhang Tianzhi’s aggravated tone, he slammed the table and shouted:
"The source of your power is truly malevolent?! Do you know how many innocent lives have been lost at that woman’s hands?! Yet you still traded for her power?!"
"What do our rules say?! Without permission, no one may contact a prisoner!"
"Not only did you violate the principles of being a member of the Special Ninth Bureau, but you also made a deal with a criminal?!"
"Do you deserve to be the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Bureau?!"
Zhang Tianzhi’s reprimanding of his subordinate was only natural.
Moreover, Zhang Tianzhi spared Gao Xiao’s dignity.
He hadn’t even mentioned Gao Xiao’s forcible dealings with a female criminal.
But even so, the ten black-clad members of the Special Ninth Bureau invited in were wide-eyed.
They hadn’t known what had transpired beforehand.
Only now they realized that this Gao Xiao, their new Chief Instructor, had committed such serious transgressions.
Though it might not seem severe initially.
In normal prisons, such incidents often occur.
But this was the Special Ninth Bureau, and the Special Ninth Bureau was different!
The beings detained within were supernatural!
The threat they posed to society was immeasurable!
Yet he traded with such entities for their power?!
It was simply unforgivable.
Saying it’s unforgivable?
Weren’t you three leaders also considering trading with Zhang Feng for his power?
Double standards?
Not really.
They mentioned, hadn’t they, how many innocent lives the woman had harmed?
That power was evil.
But Zhang Feng’s power was different, it was righteous.
Who knows how Zhang Feng himself would react upon hearing such an explanation.
But the leaders, holding ultimate interpretative authority, would indeed steer the narrative.
At this point, Gao Xiao, listening to Zhang Tianzhi’s rebuke,
His face of resentment and anger gradually faded.
He slumped into his chair limp and weak.
Facing the leaders, he seemed to reveal a slightly mocking smile, and then softly spoke:
"Are you now accusing me?"
...
