"Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
The female officer hesitated, as per the organization's regulations, Lin Xiao's phone had already been confiscated.
"Then can you dial Wang's number for me? I need to speak with him," Lin Xiao suggested, settling for a compromise.
After a moment's thought, the officer decided this was acceptable. She dialed the number and handed the phone to Lin Xiao.
"Wang, hello. How much longer do I have to stay here?" Lin Xiao asked, not inquiring about Li Hao's situation, but still worried that Li Hao had sent someone else to check on her without Wang Dawei's knowledge.
Wang Dawei looked at Li Hao across from him and put the phone on speaker.
Li Hao held up three fingers. "Three days. We need to complete the procedures, Lin Town Head, right?"
"Can you get someone to return my phone?" Lin Xiao asked resignedly.
Wang Dawei shook his head at Li Hao. "Lin Town Head, I'm really sorry. Please bear with it."
Lin Xiao sighed in frustration. "Then can you let this officer allow me to make a call home?"
A moment later, Li Hao's phone rang. He stood up from across Wang Dawei and walked aside. "You’re awake?"
Hearing Li Hao's gentle and affectionate tone, Wang Dawei recalled how protective she had been of him when he first met Lin Xiao. Their earlier conversation made it clear how much Li Hao cared for Lin Xiao.
"Where are you?" Lin Xiao asked, slightly annoyed by his sudden departure without notice.
"I'm with the crew. Just take care of yourself and follow the organization's arrangements," Li Hao softly reassured her.
"Then why didn't you tell me last night that you were leaving this morning?" Lin Xiao felt a pang of disappointment. If she had known he was leaving today, she wouldn't have slept so soundly.
"Take good care of yourself," Li Hao said, noticing her mood was low. With others around, he didn’t want to say too much more.
Lin Xiao returned the phone to the officer after a brief call and then dialed Wang Mei, chatting with Tian Tian for a few minutes before hanging up.
I shouldn't interfere in organizational matters, but when it comes to Lin Xiao, I can't just stand by, Li Hao thought sternly.
It was an imposing presence that commanded respect without a hint of anger, leaving Wang Dawei feeling pressured. Li Shuji and Lin Town Head realized that perhaps they should consult her opinion instead of making decisions on her behalf. After all, Wang Dawei was an experienced interrogator.
Do you know that Ke Hong has a gun? If it weren't for Kang Hui's early warning and Wang Lei's preemptive actions, do you have any idea what the consequences could have been? Li Hao's retort left Wang Dawei momentarily speechless. He had indeed never encountered such a situation before and had to admit that Li Hao was right.
Since you all intend to wrap things up, I trust you have a foolproof plan, Li Hao continued. Let Lin Xiao stay here until Ke Hong is caught.
Wang Dawei hesitated to offend the formidable figure before him; after all, he couldn't quite gauge which temple this deity belonged to. After parting ways with Wang Dawei, Li Hao sought out Wang Lei.
Months had passed, and Wang Lei had become increasingly composed. I’ve heard about Lin Xiao’s situation; she’s doing well inside, and this matter will soon come to an end. Li Hao felt concerned about Wang Lei's circumstances and decided to meet him before leaving.
Make sure to wear your bulletproof vest; don’t skimp on safety. Also, Li Hao shared a few confidential remarks. Wang Lei was surprised that Li Hao was aware of these matters and even more taken aback by his candor.
You should leave as soon as possible; it’s for the best for both you and Lin Xiao. Li Hao nodded in understanding; keeping Yu Rao around was too conspicuous.
Among those exposed this time were remnants from the previous conflict. Since Lin Xiao would still be involved in the future, he needed to distance himself from here and minimize his shadow over her.
Almost overnight, the net closed in. Led by Jiang Daqiao, the former director of Yurou County, they exploited their power to extort protection fees from the Dihao Club, which was involved in gambling, prostitution, and drug trafficking, effectively becoming a shield for criminal activities.
Due to their camaraderie in battle, Ke Hong became an accomplice to Jiang Daqiao, indulging in carnal pleasures and maintaining relationships with multiple women while fathering an illegitimate child.
