Chapter 183: Ouyang Bing's Suspicion
At this moment, Director Huang Siyuan heard that Xiao Yun had come to the hospital to visit Duan Haoran, and quickly called Zhu Wanyu to buy a flower basket and rushed over with her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Yun asked, "Director Huang, what do you think about Old Master Duan..." In truth, he didn't need to ask Director Huang. When he entered the ward and used his Spiritual Sense to scan Duan Haoran, he already knew that he didn't have long to live.
Perhaps due to their blood connection, he couldn't help but ask.
Huang Siyuan had already read the anxiety in Xiao Yun's expression and deduced that his relationship with Duan Haoran was more than just a layer of connection through Duan Qingxue. Naturally, he didn't dare to be negligent; after all, Xiao Yun was a figure of great importance to this hospital.
"Mr. Xiao," Huang Siyuan scratched his head and hesitated, "Old Master Duan is quite old and has suffered such a blow. Given his current condition, I'm afraid he won't make it through tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I understand!" Xiao Yun nodded gravely.
Bang!
Nearby, An Yiran heard that Old Master Duan might not survive until tomorrow and suddenly felt her heart sink. Her vision darkened, and she swayed before collapsing to the ground.
"Sister Yiran..."
Xiao Yun hurried over, crouched down, and quickly infused her body with a stream of Heavenly Spirit Essence.
An Yiran opened her eyes, suddenly flipped over, sat up, and tightly hugged Xiao Yun while crying, "Xiao Yun, if Grandpa Duan passes away, I don't want to live either. He has treated me like his own granddaughter all these years; I really can't bear to see him go..."
Xiao Yun instinctively pushed her away; her ample chest pressed against him uncomfortably. However, seeing her tear-streaked face, pitiful like rain on pear blossoms, he felt a pang of compassion. He let her hold onto his waist and thought that she was indeed a sincere woman; let her cry it out!
In order to find out who was lurking beside Duan Haoran, Xiao Yun had privately investigated Gu Tianfeng and An Yiran.
An Yiran's parents died early, and she grew up in an orphanage. After graduating from university, she enlisted in the military. Due to her love for martial arts and willingness to endure hardships, she was recruited into the Special Forces. After leaving the military, she was hired by Duan Haoran to be his personal secretary at Duan Group.
As for Gu Tianfeng, Xiao Yun only knew that he came from Chinatown in the United States, but he could not uncover any information about his background. Coupled with his skills in disguise and the use of the Thousand-Year Ice Needle, he remained a mysterious figure in Xiao Yun's mind.
Regarding Dark Fragrance, the truth was now clear. It seemed that Wilson was indeed quite cunning; he had arranged for Gu Tianfeng to infiltrate the Duan Family while making Zhou Jinian from the Criminal Investigation Team contact him directly, clearly laying the groundwork in case something went wrong later and diverting suspicion away from himself.
The only question was whether Zhou Jinian would know Gu Tianfeng's whereabouts after his escape.
Thinking this, Xiao Yun patted An Yiran on the shoulder and said, "Sister Yiran, everyone will eventually die; don't be too sad. Uh, I need to step out to make a phone call!"
"Okay!" An Yiran snapped back to reality, her face flushing as she immediately released her grip on Xiao Yun. It was indeed inappropriate for her to hold him so tightly in front of others.
Xiao Yun stepped outside to a secluded area and took out his phone, dialing Ouyang Bing.
"Oh, it's you! Where are you?" Ouyang Bing asked hurriedly upon receiving Xiao Yun's call.
Xiao Yun had grown accustomed to Ouyang Bing's nickname for him. He took a deep breath and replied, "With such a big incident happening at the Duan Family, I'm naturally with Old Master Duan. By the way, I wanted to ask you something: Is Zhou Jinian still at home after Gu Tianfeng escaped?"
Initially, when Ouyang Bing heard that he was with Duan Haoran, he thought that this guy was indeed deeply infatuated with Duan Qingxue. He felt a pang of jealousy rising within him. However, upon hearing Xiao Yun mention Zhou Jinian, he was taken aback.
Ouyang Bing said, "I just received a report that after Gu Tianfeng escaped, Zhou Jinian also suddenly went missing. We've been puzzled about it too. Uh, why do you ask? Do you know something?"
"Hehe, I was just asking casually. By the way, could you please tell Nie Xiaoqian that I won't be coming back tonight? I need to stay overnight at the hospital with Old Master Duan!" After saying this, Xiao Yun hung up the phone.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Just as Xiao Yun turned to return to the hospital room, a dark shadow flashed not far away, and a flurry of Silver Needles suddenly shot towards him.
The Silver Needles glimmered in the sunlight, shining with a blinding light, like lightning or fire, crackling in the air as if the atmosphere had turned into dangerous explosives ignited by these Silver Needles.
Even though Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense was formidable, he was still a step too late. He tried to dodge the flurry of Silver Needles that came flying at him, but it was already too late...
...
In an office of the Criminal Investigation Team, Ouyang Bing put down her phone, staring blankly into space.
What did Xiao Yun's call mean? Why did he suddenly mention Zhou Jinian?
Could it be that Zhou Jinian had some connection with Gu Tianfeng?
Since getting to know and interact with Xiao Yun, Ouyang Bing had found him increasingly mysterious, as if he harbored countless secrets that were hard to comprehend.
What particularly piqued her curiosity was that a high-level figure from the Dragon Team had taken an interest in Xiao Yun. The recent destruction of the Duan Group should have implicated its leader, Duan Haoran, but suddenly there was a directive from above not to touch Duan Haoran or even certain personal assets of his.
The Dragon Team was a highly secretive organization active in Huaxia, responsible for national security and even the safety of the country's highest leaders. Members of the Dragon Team appeared across Huaxia under various identities; their organization was tightly structured with strict hierarchical relationships and different codenames. They could summon local police forces at any time, including military power.
After graduating from the police academy, Ouyang Bing was recruited into the Dragon Team before coming here and became the captain of the Galaxy City Dragon Team branch. After Zhou Jinian's dismissal, she was able to smoothly take over as captain of the Criminal Investigation Team not only due to her own achievements but also because it was a deliberate arrangement by high-level members of the Dragon Team.
Naturally, no one in Galaxy knew about her identity; members of the Dragon Team were not allowed to disclose their identities unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, they would face severe punishment.
Ouyang Bing recalled the task assigned to her and quickly sent out the detailed information she had gathered on Xiao Yun.
After that, she left her office and went to the secretarial room, where she found only Nie Xiaoqian inside. She casually asked, "Nie Xiaoqian, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, it's Captain Ouyang! I'm organizing the files of the fallen detectives. Tomorrow is their memorial service, and I need to get this done quickly!" In the Criminal Investigation Team, Nie Xiaoqian always called her Captain, but only in private did she refer to her as Sister Bing.
Ouyang Bing nodded but soon her expression darkened as she gritted her teeth and said, "That Gu Tianfeng is too despicable. He has taken several of my detectives. Once I catch him, I will make him pay dearly!"
"By the way, Nie Xiaoqian, I received a call from Xiao Yun. He asked me to tell you that he will be at the hospital with Duan Haoran tonight and won't be coming back!" Ouyang Bing added.
Nie Xiaoqian exclaimed, "Ah, my brother is back from the Provincial Capital?"
Ouyang Bing was taken aback by this and asked, "When did he arrive in the Provincial Capital? What was he doing there?"
Nie Xiaoqian replied, "He went there early yesterday morning. As for what he was doing there, I didn't ask. Anyway, whatever my brother does has his reasons; I don't pry into it."
Hearing Nie Xiaoqian's words made Ouyang Bing smile involuntarily. This girl was so innocent and pure; perhaps it was because of this that she had liked her from the first time they met.
In the Dragon Team, Ouyang Bing knew that her direct superior held an important position in a department in the Provincial Capital. Although they often communicated over the phone, all she knew was that her superior was also a woman with the codename Dragon Sister and was very strict. As for who she really was, Ouyang Bing had no idea.
The phones used by members of the Dragon Team were all special high-tech products that prevented them from discovering each other's names and locations.
Recalling the call from her superior yesterday evening, Ouyang Bing couldn't help but feel suspicious. How strange; Xiao Yun arrived in the Provincial Capital yesterday—could it be related to Dragon Sister?
