SRGA Chapter 158: The Gift from the Big Shot
Luo Hongchuan said solemnly, "Gentlemen, who is the accuser? Did they provide you with any evidence?"
Lin Tian stood up and reached into his pocket, retrieving a document from the system's storage space.
"Mr. Luo, although the accuser hasn't come to us, given their identity, they shouldn't be making false reports," one of the policemen said.
Lin Tian interjected, "The accuser called from abroad. It's not convenient for them to come to your station right now, is it?"
"That's correct," the two policemen nodded.
Lin Tian took out the document and handed it over. One of the policemen took it, opened it, and was stunned to see that Lin Tian was from the National Security Bureau.
"Do you still need me and us to come with you?" Lin Tian asked.
If they still needed him to come for the investigation, Lin Tian wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on in the middle.
"Comrade Lin Tian, it's not necessary," one of the policemen replied. "We received the report, so we had to respond. Please forgive us."
The second policeman also examined the document and then returned it to Lin Tian. "If we need your assistance in the investigation, we'll contact you. I'll cooperate actively."
Lin Tian handed over a business card.
The two policemen took the card and left.
Luo Hongchuan frowned. "Lin Tian, it's just a small matter, but the police came directly to my place. Something doesn't seem right."
"They may have someone behind them," Lin Tian smiled. "Uncle, they're just following orders from above; there's no need to make things difficult for them."
"Wu Zongxian has some real capabilities and connections now that he's abroad," Luo Hongchuan said. "But you still gave them your business card; they might continue to ask for your cooperation in the investigation."
"You need to be a bit firm when necessary," Lin Tian chuckled. "Uncle, that business card isn't mine; it belongs to Zhao's secretary, who brought me here today."
Luo Hongchuan was taken aback. Giving Zhao's secretary's business card to them? Wasn't that taking advantage of them? The person who sent them probably had a much higher rank.
"How do we explain this when we go back? Just tell them directly, and hopefully, they won't make us go there again."
The two policemen returned to their car.
They felt a bit helpless about this matter, but when the deputy bureau chief gave the order, they had no choice but to make this trip.
"Hmm?"
The policeman holding the business card glanced at it.
He was dumbfounded.
"Let's go," urged the policeman in the driver's seat.
"Have a look at this. Is it real or fake?" the policeman in the driver's seat handed the card to his companion.
"Elder Luo's secretary... this..." The policeman in the passenger seat's pupils contracted. Such a figure... even their immediate superior couldn't say much to them.
"Could it be fake?"
"Not very likely. It's possible for an ordinary person to fake it, but this card was given by Elder Luo's future son-in-law. He has no reason to ruin his own future with this."
The two policemen quickly returned.
They handed the card to their assigned deputy bureau chief, Liu Jinbo.
Liu Jinbo had some acquaintance with Wu Zongxian.
"Damn it!"
Liu Jinbo was stunned when he saw the card. Lin Tian actually had a business card from such a high-level figure.
"Son of a bitch, Wu Zongxian, you've screwed me over!"
Liu Jinbo's face turned ugly.
Although Wu Zongxian had helped him and they had some acquaintance, this level of acquaintance wasn't worth ruining his career for.
"No, this card has to be returned."
Liu Jinbo was sweating profusely on his forehead.
He quickly set off to the Luo family villa.
Zhao's secretary arrived just ahead of him, and Academician Cheng had already reported Mr. Xu's current situation to the Second Elder.
Mr. Xu's various data had improved significantly and was still improving.
The Second Elder wasn't in the Imperial Capital at the moment, so he asked Zhao's secretary to make another trip and properly thank Lin Tian.
Academician Cheng also mentioned the matter of the pill.
In order to save Mr. Xu, Lin Tian had taken out a precious pill. The Second Elder now owed Lin Tian a big favor.
"Mr. Lin, a hero deserves a treasured sword."
"The Chief said that this erhu is wasted in his hands and wanted to give it to you so that you can hear even more beautiful music."
Zhao's secretary smiled.
Next to him was an antique box containing an erhu, better than the one Lin Tian had bought.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, please convey my thanks to the Second Elder. I was actually lacking a good erhu."
"Sometimes, I feel like playing a tune at home, but if the erhu is placed elsewhere, I can only give up in resignation."
"Beep beep—"
The visual intercom system rang.
Luo Hongchuan walked over to answer it.
"Mr. Luo, you have a visitor. He says he's Liu Jinbo, the deputy bureau chief of the district bureau, here to visit."
The property staff said.
"Please let him in," Luo Hongchuan said.
Zhao's secretary stood up. "Mr. Luo, Mr. Lin, you still have other guests, so I'll leave first."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Zhao Secretary, why don't you stay a little longer? This matter also concerns you."
"Hmm?" Zhao's secretary was puzzled.
Lin Tian explained the matter to him.
Zhao's secretary said, "A phone call from abroad and the police immediately come to investigate. They're really diligent."
Liu Jinbo arrived soon after.
He saw Zhao's secretary and his legs trembled a bit.
He did recognize Zhao's secretary, but with his level, he wasn't
even qualified for Zhao's secretary to know him.
"Secretary Zhao..."
Liu Jinbo's voice trembled a bit.
He hadn't expected that Lin Tian not only had a connection with Zhao's secretary but that Zhao's secretary would also come to visit in person.
Zhao's secretary smiled faintly. "Liu Jinbo, did Wu Zongxian contact you?"
"Yes."
Liu Jinbo nodded stiffly.
There was no point in denying it. If someone like Zhao's secretary wanted to investigate him, he would find out everything very easily.
"He's overseas now, but with just one phone call, you immediately took action to investigate. That's quite commendable."
"Go back and wait for further instructions. The organization might have other arrangements for you."
Liu Jinbo walked out of the villa in a daze.
He knew that his career was over.
If Zhao's secretary mentioned other arrangements, how good could they possibly be? He might end up in a remote rural area for training, and he might have to continue training until retirement.
"F*ck you, Wu Zongxian!"
As he drove away, Liu Jinbo cursed loudly.
Zhao's secretary stood up. "Mr. Lin, the Second Elder said that if he goes to S City in the future, he might come to visit."
Lin Tian smiled. "I'll be waiting anytime."
Zhao's secretary left, and Luo Hongchuan exclaimed, "Lin Tian, the Second Elder actually gave you his treasured erhu."
"Do you know how to play the erhu, Lin Tian?"
Luo Grandpa came down from upstairs and asked. He still didn't know about Lin Tian's identity as "Masked Knight".
He only knew that Lin Tian was skilled in medicine.
Lin Tian chuckled. "Grandpa Luo, I know a little about the erhu."
Luo Yongqian's eyes lit up. "I also know a bit about the erhu. Let's go, let's go to the music room and play a few tunes to learn from each other."
"Bingning, you can be the judge."
