Ye Tian smiled and said, "You are heroes, and I am honored to be able to help. Now that the person has been delivered, I will not disturb you further."
The middle-aged man grabbed him, "Brother, you saved Duanmu Qing's life. She is the daughter of my old captain and master. By saving her, you saved my life. You cannot leave. We will go to a restaurant later, and I will treat you to a few drinks."
Ye Tian quickly waved his hand, "Really, no need. I still have official duties."
The middle-aged man was the captain, named Lei Li. He was stunned and asked, "Brother, are you in the same line of work?"
Ren Ping had prepared many identities for Ye Tian. He took out a document, which showed he was a core figure in a certain secret department of the state, and a Vice Minister! Da Feng Novel Network
Lei Li quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Vice Minister Ye! My apologies, I didn't know your identity. I was rude just now!"
Everyone stood at attention, feeling very nervous. He was actually a Vice Minister!
Duanmu Qing was also stunned and said, "Vice Minister Ye, you are so young to be a General, truly remarkable!"
Ye Tian smiled, "I do classified work, so promotions are faster."
Now, no one dared to keep Ye Tian any longer. He exchanged a few polite words and prepared to leave.
Lei Li quickly said, "Vice Minister Ye, shall I send you off in a car? It would be more convenient."
Ye Tian thought that he would have to take a taxi to the station anyway, so he immediately said, "Then I will trouble you, Captain Lei."
"It's no trouble, it's my duty."
Watching the car Ye Tian was in drive away, Lei Li touched his face and said, "Alas, comparing people makes one angry. To be a Vice Minister in your twenties, tsk tsk. If this continues for a few more years, your future is limitless!"
Duanmu Qing said, "Captain Lei, I have something to tell you."
Lei Li's expression turned serious and he said, "Yes, go to my office!"
Ye Tian arrived at the high-speed rail station. Before he even reached the entrance, the driver who had sent him received a call and his expression changed drastically, "What? Sent to a mental hospital?"
Ye Tian asked, "What's wrong?"
The driver looked incredulous and said, "Vice Minister Ye, my colleague said that Duanmu Qing suddenly went mad and was then sent to a mental hospital by Captain Lei!"
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback. She was fine just a moment ago, how could she end up in a mental hospital? Moreover, based on his judgment, this Duanmu Qing was definitely a normal person.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the driver, "Can you take me back? I have something to discuss with your Captain Lei."
The driver nodded, "Okay!"
Forty minutes later, when Ye Tian returned to the Anti-Drug Brigade again, Captain Lei Li was out on a case.
Since Ye Tian couldn't see him, he waited in the office. After a while, he took out his phone and tried to call Duanmu Qing. Although they weren't particularly familiar with each other, if she was in trouble, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Unexpectedly, the call went through immediately.
"Duanmu Qing, are you alright?" he asked.
From the other end of the phone, Duanmu Qing's low voice came through, "Vice Minister Ye, I am fine. Captain Lei sent me to the mental hospital to protect me."
Ye Tian: "To protect you? Why?"
Duanmu Qing: "Captain Lei's family was kidnapped, and someone used their safety to threaten Captain Lei. Captain Lei had no choice but to outwardly agree to their demands and send me to the mental hospital. This way, I would not be a threat to that person in the provincial government."
Ye Tian: "Captain Lei went to save his family?"
Duanmu Qing nodded, "Yes."
Ye Tian: "Tell Captain Lei to contact me and say that I can help him."
Duanmu Qing: "Vice Minister Ye, for them to dare to do this, they must have made thorough preparations. Your status is noble, you must not take risks."
Ye Tian smiled, "You've seen my abilities. Do you think those insignificant people can threaten me?"
Recalling Ye Tian's previous miraculous methods, Duanmu Qing gritted her teeth, "Alright, I will have Captain Lei contact you!"
After hanging up the phone, less than three minutes later, an unfamiliar number indeed called. Upon answering, it was Lei Li's voice.
Lei Li said, "Vice Minister Ye, Duanmu Qing has told me everything. But you cannot get involved, it's too risky. If something happens, I cannot bear the responsibility!"
Ye Tian: "You don't need to bear it, you just need to tell me your current location. This is an order! Although we are not in the same system, I have the authority to issue orders to you in special circumstances. In fact, I can directly order your superior in the ministry to command you to obey me!"
Lei Li had no choice but to say, "Alright then. Vice Minister Ye, I will send you my location!"
