Chapter 469: Chapter 299: Slapping the Monitoring Bureau’s Face!

Imperial First Military Hospital.

Zhong Jiayuan rushed over and asked Tang Fei, “How’s the situation? Is the injured out of danger?”

“Still in surgery,” Tang Fei spoke up. “The doctor said the entire arm is ruined, he needs a mechanical replacement.”

“Replace it, with the best one. I’ll help apply for reimbursement from public funds,” Zhong Jiayuan said swiftly.

As the director of the fifth department, having him sign off on the application naturally meant greater reimbursement authority.

Leaders who were unwilling to take responsibility–why would anyone under them be willing to lay down their lives?

After all, everything is done by people, so the key is knowing how to use and value them.

“Thank you, Director,” Tang Fei expressed his gratitude. He had been thinking if the higher-ups didn’t approve, he would pay out of his own pocket.

After all, Phoenix had given him quite a bit of pocket money, and was also managing the compensation he had taken from the Yan Xinyou family.

Rumor had it, business was quite good, with all the lines of industry performing very well.

They were even doing better than when handled by the Yan family itself.

After all, with the personal steward of the Princess handling matters, and with the backing of the Imperial Family… who would dare not show respect?

Tang Fei was wealthy.

“Director, why have you come? It’s so late, haven’t you rested yet?”

“With such a serious incident, how could I possibly sleep?” Zhong Jiayuan said angrily. “Have you found any clues? Do you know who did it?”

Tang Fei shook his head and replied, “I had people pull up the surveillance footage from the scene of the shooting, but the perpetrators were prepared; they erased all the videos for that area.”

“I’m having people look for the owner of the car park, to see if any dash cams captured useful information. If we can get those videos, we could confirm the identity of the murderer.”

“Hmm, before coming here, I reported to the Dean. The Dean is also paying close attention to this matter,” Zhong Jiayuan looked towards Tang Fei and spoke. “The Dean said, no matter who is involved, any family… we must investigate thoroughly and show no mercy.”

“They dared to seriously harm our Inspector then that’s slapping the face of our Dean, slapping the face of all colleagues at the Monitoring Bureau… They’ve slapped our faces, we must retaliate.”

“Thank you, Dean, thank you, Director,” Tang Fei stood straight and spoke out. “We will definitely find the real culprit and seek justice for our colleague. Wang Chao’s death cannot be in vain, Shen Yan can’t suffer for nothing.”

“Hmm, if there’s anything you need help with, just ask.”

“Thank you, Director.”

“What for? We’re all family here.” Zhong Jiayuan patted Tang Fei’s shoulder, greeted the others, and then left with his entourage.

By the time the surgery ended, and Shen Yan’s condition had stabilized, it was already past two in the morning.

After Tang Fei arranged for people to stay at the hospital, he took the other members of the second team back to the Monitoring Bureau.

Lin Hai and Li Dezhu had already returned, analyzing the video footage from the parked cars in the car park, trying to identify the shooter from the incident.

“Any clues?” Tang Fei walked over and asked.

Lin Hai pointed to a video and said, “This video captured the scene of the shooting, but the shooter stuck the gun muzzle out through a window and, moreover, they were wearing synthetic masks… We’ve tried, but we can’t confirm their identities.”

“What about the vehicle situation?”

“The car is registered under a man named Zhang Liang, we’ve already sent people to find his whereabouts.”

“Um, bring him in for questioning,” Tang Fei said. “The car is his, he should be able to provide some information.”

“Yes, Captain.”

——

Tianyu Garden.

Eastern District, Number 028.

Looking at the number plate on the wall, Tang Fei asked, “Is this the place?”

“Yes,” Tan Yu nodded, “Shen Yan and Wang Chao came here to visit the family of Wang Wenyou. They were attacked in the parking lot at the entrance…”

Tang Fei stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and quickly a middle-aged beautiful woman came forward to open the door. Seeing the uniform of the Monitoring Bureau on Tang Fei, she said with an indignant tone, “Why have you come again? I’ve told you, I don’t know anything, and I can’t possibly persuade my husband to cooperate with you…”

“Have a chat?” Tang Fei asked.

“I have nothing to chat with you about,” the middle-aged beautiful woman said as she reached to close the door. “Please go away, I’ll call the police if you harass me again.”

Tang Fei placed his hand on the door, saying in a deep voice, “We are from the Monitoring Bureau; even if you call the police, they might not be willing to intervene, right?”

“You…”

“There’s something, you might not be aware of,” Tang Fei said, looking at Wang Yuheng. “Yesterday, my colleagues came to visit you, and they were shot right outside your community… The slightly fatter one died on the spot, while the thinner one is still lying in the ICU at the hospital…”

Wang Yuheng’s face changed slightly, as she spoke softly, “I heard about this… I heard there was a shooting at the entrance of the community…”

“They visited you and then one died and one was injured…” Tang Fei watched Wang Yuheng, insisting, “Do you think we would just let this go?”

“…”

“Have a chat?” Tang Fei asked again.

Wang Yuheng was silent for a moment but still opened the door to let Tang Fei, Tan Yu, and the others in.

After entering the house, Wang Yuheng had the maid bring some tea for everyone, and then sat down opposite Tang Fei, her face tense.

Tang Fei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised it, “Good tea. Did my colleagues get to drink such good tea when they came over?”

“They did,” Wang Yuheng said. “They asked me to brew a cup of tea for them.”

“What else did they say?” Tang Fei inquired.

“They said… they told me to persuade my husband, to get him to cooperate with the work of the Monitoring Bureau.”

“How did you respond?”

“I refused.”

“Why did you refuse?” Tang Fei questioned.

“I… I’ve said it yesterday, if my husband cooperates with you, my child and I would be in danger,” Wang Yuheng recounted the same response from the previous day. “Moreover… moreover, my husband is stubborn, and nobody can change his mind. Even if I talk to him, he would not agree.”

“How would you know without trying?”

“I understand him.”

“Does he understand you?” Tang Fei observed the woman in yoga attire thoughtfully before speaking.

“What?” Wang Yuheng asked, confused.

“Does your husband understand you? Does he know what kind of person you are?”

“Of course, he does. We’ve been married for many years; we know each other very well…”

“Do you, really? I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”

“What are you getting at? What exactly do you want to say?”

“I’m saying, even couples who share the same bed may not fully understand each other, nor know what’s on the other’s mind, what secrets they hide.”

The woman’s eyes flickered with a moment of panic as she quickly dismissed him, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, please leave now…”

“I think, this question was already asked by my colleague yesterday, I’ll ask one last time… are you willing to come with us to the Monitoring Bureau?”

“No,” Wang Yuheng refused resolutely, saying, “I can’t go.”

Tang Fei finished the tea in his cup, remarking, “Such good tea shouldn’t be wasted.”

He then put down the teacup, stood up, and walked toward the outside.

Seeing Tang Fei leave without a word, Tan Yu and the others hurriedly followed suit.

Tang Fei walked into the yard and sent a message: “Help me check on a woman, her name is Wang Yuheng.”
