"Yes, I'm sorry, Young Master Ling... I was blind and offended you... Please have mercy and forgive me this time!"
Du Xiaowei approached Ling Zhenfei timidly, not even daring to look him in the eye, and pleaded with his head bowed.
"Get out!"
Ling Zhenfei intended to crush their father and son's arrogance that day, and upon hearing those words, he immediately barked an order without giving them a second glance.
"Yes, Young Master Ling, we'll leave right now!"
Du Kongting's facial muscles twitched as he was seething with anger, but he still forced himself to endure, leading Du Xiaowei and a group of bodyguards away.
"Ling Zhenfei, thank you!" Lin Yuluo finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Du Xiaowei being taken away by Du Kongting and came over to thank Ling Zhenfei.
"Miss Yuluo, it's my duty, you don't need to thank me."
Ling Zhenfei smiled and nodded at Lin Yuluo, seeing her still immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, he softly comforted her, "Miss Yuluo, the demise of your father... is truly regrettable! But the dead cannot be brought back to life, you must mourn appropriately!"
"Thank you... I know!" Lin Yuluo's eyelids drooped, feeling a surge of tears swirling in her eyes.
Her most beloved father was now eternally separated from her. Such grief from losing her father was indeed unbearable for a frail woman like her!
Ling Zhenfei originally wanted to comfort her with a few more words, but seeing her pitiful state, he was at a loss for words and could only shake his head with a light sigh.
"Yuluo, I will thoroughly investigate your father's case and seek justice for him."
Seeing Lin Yuluo's expression growing more sorrowful, Han Lian knew that staying any longer would only deepen her despair.
After exchanging glances with Ling Zhenfei, she seriously said to Lin Yuluo, "Yuluo, although your father has passed away, his legacy remains, you must turn your grief into strength, and uphold Lin's foundation, not giving those with ulterior motives a chance to snatch away what your father built with his life's efforts."
Han Lian, truly worthy of her post as the head of the criminal police, subtly reminded Lin Yuluo to be wary of the malicious people around her with these words.
"Sister Han, what you said is..."
Lin Yuluo was a clever woman; she seemed to understand a third of Han Lian's words. However, regarding the Du family father and son, she only harbored suspicions, without evidence.
"Yuluo, as long as you understand some things, just be more cautious, there's no need to voice them out."
Han Lian interrupted Lin Yuluo's response, looking gravely at her, "Yuluo, rest assured, Zhenfei and I will not stand idly by, just go ahead with what you need to do and signal us whenever you need our help."
"Yes, Yuluo! We will always be by your side to support you!" Ling Zhenfei also looked at Lin Yuluo with determined, intent eyes.
"Yes!" Looking at them, Lin Yuluo's eyes brimmed with happy tears as she nodded vigorously.
She originally thought that after her father's death, there were no more people in this world she could be close to. But now, it seemed she still had two close friends!
Those were Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian!
...
After bidding farewell to Lin Yuluo, noting that Ling Zhenfei seemed quite worried, Han Lian couldn't help but ask, "Zhenfei, are you still worried about Young Miss Lin?"
"Sigh!" Ling Zhenfei said mournfully, "To say I'm not worried would be a lie; after all, she is still young and facing a calamity. The Du family father and son are sinister and ruthless, and I fear she is no match for them!"
"Yes, you're right!"
Han Lian deeply shared Ling Zhenfei's concerns. Although she was a police officer, she couldn't just arrest the Du family father and son without any evidence, could she?
In her view, the path Lin Yuluo had to take next was completely up to her.
However, seeing Ling Zhenfei's expression at this moment sparked a different thought in Han Lian.
Could it be… did Ling Zhenfei have a better plan to help Lin Yuluo escape the encirclement of the Du family father and son?
"Zhenfei, are you thinking…"
A flash of insight struck Han Lian's mind, just as she was about to speak, Ling Zhenfei suddenly winked at her and revealed a knowing smile, saying, "Exactly, I have already decided to enter Lin's as the Young Miss's personal bodyguard!"
To be Young Miss Lin's personal bodyguard? Impossible!
Upon hearing this, Han Lian was so surprised that her cherry lips gaped open wide; she couldn't believe her ears.
"Hehe, how exactly I'm going to do it, Officer Han, you needn't concern yourself with that for now. Just wait and watch the show unfold!"
Ling Zhenfei chuckled and nodded, skillfully steering the conversation past the question Han Lian wanted to ask. Then he changed the topic and inquired, "By the way, how's the progress with the interrogation of Tan Shaojie whom we caught last time?"
Given his inquiry, Han Lian had no choice but to skip over the matter about Lin Yuluo, and with a solemn tone of worry, she replied, "This Tan Shaojie is no easy target, far harder to interrogate than Chi Hu. Several waves of interrogation specialists from our bureau have tried, yet none has gleaned a single clue from him."
"Of course, what do you expect? Who is Tan Shaojie? The renowned Ghostly Legs Young Master, a character from the Chen List."
Ling Zhenfei's voice was grave as he spoke, "If this guy was that easy to handle, would I need to have gone through so much trouble to track him for a day and a night just to capture him?"
"Mhm!"
Lin Yuluo deeply agreed with Ling Zhenfei's words, nodding her head immediately as if pecking rice.
Then she said with a voice of concern, "We finally caught such a big fish as Kun Ze Haosan, only to find he'd been killed by Tan Shaojie. With no progress on Tan Shaojie, it's truly frustrating!"
"Director Guo just received information from the provincial department saying there's some unusual activity from the Black Triangle recently. That gang of drug traffickers might be planning a major drug deal soon, and the Interpol and anti-drug team hope our Binyang police will cooperate in a blockade operation.
But at this moment, we still know nothing about the traffickers' movements; it's tough to report back!"
Hearing Han Lian say this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, saying, "Alright, since the task at hand is so critical, why don't you take me back to the police station? I'd like to see just how tough Tan Shaojie's mouth is to pry open."
"Haha… I was thinking the same thing. There's no time to delay, you'd better come with me now!"
Han Lian had deliberately put on a worried face, hoping to coax Ling Zhenfei into action, though she felt somewhat embarrassed to say it outright.
Now hearing that Ling Zhenfei was volunteering proactively, Han Lian was overjoyed and laughed heartily as she patted his shoulder. Without giving him time to react, she pulled him onto a motorcycle, and they sped off towards the Binyang Public Security Bureau.
Outside the Binyang Public Security Bureau's special interrogation room number one, Director Guo Qing'an paced back and forth along the corridor with a worried expression on his face.
