564: Chapter 553 564: Chapter 553 “Song Yun, what’s going on here?” Mo Yuyao stood by in astonishment, listening to the conversation between Song Yun and Captain Liu, utterly confused.
Song Yun was taken aback.
Now he was in trouble.
In front of Mo Yuyao, he’d always been an honest man with little education.
And now, he was in contact with someone from National Security.
National Security was a powerful agency, second only to the relevant departments in strength.
How could they possibly mobilize their resources for such an uneducated, honest person?
As Song Yun hesitated over what to say, a group of people in white lab coats arrived.
“Come on, over here.” Song Yun seized the moment to divert Mo Yuyao’s attention.
The people in white lab coats hastily wheeled Zhang Longhu out of the infirmary.
Then the Prison Chief cleared the area and said, “This isn’t the place to talk.
Let’s go to my office.”
“Let’s go.” Captain Liu nodded and followed the Prison Chief.
“Song Yun, what is all this about?” Mo Yuyao asked.
“This…
it’s a long story.
I need to visit your uncle’s office first.” Unable to come up with a plausible excuse, Song Yun hurriedly left after saying this.
“What’s going on?” Mo Yuyao was utterly confused by Song Yun’s behavior.
“I’ll go ask Uncle!” she muttered to herself, closed the infirmary door, and headed to the Prison Chief’s office.
Once in the Prison Chief’s office, Captain Liu took out a document and said, “After thorough investigation and consideration, the organization has decided to drop all charges against Comrade Song Yun and restore all his official statuses.
Also, the organization hopes that Comrade Song Yun will eradicate the cancerous growth of Wild Wolf soon and restore peace to this place.”
After speaking, Captain Liu pulled out the uniform that Song Yun had originally turned in and handed it over to him.
But Song Yun stood there, arms crossed, watching Captain Liu with amusement.
“Comrade Song Yun, this is your ID.
Why aren’t you taking it?” Captain Liu asked, puzzled.
“Initially, it was your people who took my ID away, and now, it’s your people giving it back.
Do you really think I’m like a woman selling meat on the street corner?
Available whenever you feel like it and free to leave without putting on trousers?” Song Yun sneered coldly.
“This…
Comrade Song Yun, the organization sometimes makes mistakes, which you should understand,” Captain Liu tried to console, “We’re all working for the people, aren’t we?”
“Save your flattery!
I just want to know, who was it that put me in here?
You say it was a mistake, I get it, but you need to tell me, who made the mistake?” Song Yun demanded.
“That…
The organization is still investigating, without results yet, but you’ll get an answer as soon as possible!”
“That kind of official talk doesn’t even convince the common folk anymore, and you expect me to believe it?
I’m telling you, if you don’t give me a satisfying answer today, I don’t even want this ID,” Song Yun said arrogantly.
Just then, Mo Yuyao walked in from outside.
“Yu Yao, what are you doing?
Get out of here quickly.” The Prison Chief hurriedly spoke.
These were people from a secret department, a sphere he was not qualified to involve himself in, let alone his niece.
“Song Yun, you’re not an ordinary person!” Mo Yuyao stared blankly at Song Yun.
“Well…” Song Yun hesitated before saying, “Actually, I’m one of the higher-ups.”
“Does that mean you’ve been lying to me these past few days?” Mo Yuyao’s expression was grim as she stared straight into Song Yun’s eyes.
Song Yun’s heart faltered.
This was his first time playing the thief of hearts, and his lie had been caught outright; he was in a difficult situation indeed.
“Fine, if you won’t speak, it means you’ve been deceiving me.
Great, is it fun to play with me?
Haha, a construction worker?
Uneducated?
Well, if you’re looking to fool me, let me tell you, you’ve succeeded—I’ve been completely played by you,” Mo Yuyao scoffed before turning and walking out of the office.
Song Yun hesitated before ultimately deciding not to chase after her.
His initial approach had been out of personal desire, and now that he was about to be released, perhaps their lives would never intersect again.
However, Mo Yuyao’s trusting gaze kept flashing in Song Yun’s mind, making him feel suddenly guilty, as if he wasn’t being a decent person.
“Comrade Song Yun, about this matter…” Captain Liu said, finding it difficult to address the seemingly distracted Song Yun.
“What about it?” Song Yun snapped back to reality and said, “At the end of the day, you guys were the ones who stubbornly recruited me into the National Security Bureau.
You made me compete on the Dragon Elephant List and fight in the arena.
Just a few days ago, it was your folks who detained me.
Let’s be honest, I’m quite skilled, and it’s not fair to treat me this way.”
Captain Liu gave a wry smile, “That’s exactly what Mr.
Song said you would be like.”
“Oh?
My Second Grandpa?
What did he say?” Song Yun asked.
“When I was about to come here, Mr.
Song had told me that you definitely wouldn’t simply accept this ID and that you would make sure to give me a hard time and get some benefits,” Captain Liu relayed.
“So that’s my Second Grandpa for you!” Song Yun sighed helplessly, not expecting his own grandfather to see right through him.
At least for now, Song Yun still needed the backing of the National Security Special Action Department.
Without this backing, many things would be just empty words; even if Song Yun did succeed, National Security would surely send someone to take over his assets—it was their longstanding rule, and not even Mr.
Song could do anything about it.
Although he needed to continue leveraging this backing, it didn’t prevent Song Yun from trying to get something beneficial from National Security.
After all, he was quite talented and supported by numerous powerful individuals.
Such a person was not to be underestimated anywhere.
Was National Security really going to dismiss such a significant figure so easily?
Although being detained this time was largely a part of the play to help Mr.
Song root out Black Hand, acting still deserved a reward.
On this point, if National Security didn’t offer something, it wouldn’t be unfair to say Song Yun had been wronged.
“Comrade Prison Chief, would you mind stepping out for a moment?” Captain Liu glanced at the Prison Chief and spoke indifferently.
It was phrased like a request, but the tone carried an undeniable authority.
“Right, right.” The Prison Chief felt quite uncomfortable here and was eager to leave, especially since his niece seemed entangled with Song Yun.
He was all too keen to avoid hearing anything he shouldn’t.
