Chapter 934 Hoshino, You've Changed

Mr. Wan wasn't angry with Shen Lu, but rather blamed her for implicating his daughter.

The concern is that the higher-ups might mishandle the situation, potentially causing harm to such an outstanding child.

"Are you genuinely concerned about them, or worried that they might drag your daughter down with them?"

Minister Wei was fully aware of Shen Lu's situation.

After all, the higher-ups had given a strict order to ensure Shen Lu's safety.

However, they had some disagreements on the matter of protecting Shen Lu.

Therefore, the protection work for Shenlu is indeed not up to par at present.

Minister Wei certainly wouldn't tell Mr. Wan about this factor.

Strictly speaking, he even neglected his duties.

Fortunately, Shen Lu is alright, but Minister Wei is currently writing a self-criticism.

Sure enough, Lao Wan called.

"I care about my daughter, not that I've lost my conscience. Of course, I'm also worried about Shen Lu's safety."

"I was afraid that my intervention would disrupt your plans, which is why I asked in advance."

Mr. Wan is also a good talker.

He has spent enough time honing his skills in officialdom, unlike when he was in the cadre school, when he was like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Minister Wei understood what Lao Wan meant.

He only told Lao Wan, "We have no choice. That girl is still young and so busy. We can't completely restrict her activities."

"Moreover, who can guard against thieves all day long? Unless the forces targeting her are eradicated, the danger around her will always exist."

"We're working hard too, Lao Wan, please bear with us."

"Although this incident also put your Ruyi at risk, at least the outcome was good, right?"

"And as you've seen, that young lady is very capable."

"They can protect your daughter."

When Minister Wei mentioned Shen Lu, his tone was full of admiration.

Mr. Wan: "Hmph, the young lady is impressive, but you old fogies are lacking."

Minister Wei: "..." That's not fair.

"Yes, we almost did. I have to write a self-criticism this time."

"Okay, I have to go now, I have something to do, I'm hanging up."

When Mr. Wan heard a dial tone on his phone, he realized that the other party had indeed hung up.

He looked dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

He understood what Lao Wei meant by listening carefully to what he said.

The authorities wanted to use Shen Lu to eradicate the forces that were targeting her.

We must strike at foreign powers until they dare not lay a hand on China, and we must uproot the protective umbrellas within China to restore a clean environment.

This is pitiful for Shen Lu. Whether she wanted to or not, she had no choice but to enter the game and become a pawn.

Mr. Wan was also impressed by Shen Lu's intelligence and talent.

If it weren't for her excellent driving skills and strong mental fortitude, this would probably have been...

Never mind, I'll just tell my daughter to stay at school or take leave during this time and not go anywhere.

Not causing trouble for others is sometimes a virtue.

Lu Xingye had already guessed the decision made by his superiors.

This time, he directly attacked Minister Wei.

"If you can't guarantee her safety, don't blame me for ruining everyone's plans."

Minister Wei was amused and said, "Hoshino, you're much cuter when you threaten people than you were a few years ago."

Lu Xingye remained silent.

Minister Wei sighed: "I know you're dissatisfied, and I'm dissatisfied too, but there's nothing I can do. This isn't something I can decide alone."

"Xiao Lu is very capable, but the more capable a person is, the more responsibilities they bear."

"Just like you were back then."

"Don't be too protective of her. Let her grow up; that's the best way to protect her."

"Otherwise, you want her to be trapped like her parents forever..."

Minister Wei stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.

This was not information that Lu Xingye could know, and he was not at liberty to reveal too much.

"In short, I assure you that this will not happen again."

Lu Xingye didn't take his assurance seriously: "So, did you find the person this time?"

Minister Wei choked: "The other side is very cautious; all the people they used have become pawns."

"Those who needed to be silenced have been silenced."

“Heh—” Lu Xingye sneered.

Is this what they call a guarantee?

The other party caused such a terrible car accident, yet they couldn't even catch the loose end.

Not only that, they also need to rely on Shen Lu and the power of Shenjia Village!

How ridiculous!

"Hoshino, don't be too nervous."

"Isn't this something everyone is working hard on?"

“I know you want to come back and help us. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll submit a report to the higher-ups right now…”

Minister Wei's words blocked Lu Xingye's path.

He doesn't want to go back at all, okay?

"Hoshino, talk to Shiro and ask her for help. She's so skilled; see if she can find the suspicious vehicle through the surveillance footage from that day."

"I suspect that more than just those few cars belonged to their people that day."

"As long as we check each of the other vehicles one by one, we can always find the source."

Lu Xingye: "...She's injured."

Minister Wei hesitated as well.

After a moment, he asked, "Do you consider a mild concussion an injury?"

Who was it that almost died back then and didn't utter a sound?

"Fine." Lu Xingye didn't care about the mild concussion.

In his view, Shen Lu's injuries during the car accident were far more than just a concussion.

She was also frightened!

"I still have an old ginseng root. If Xiao Lu can help me check the surveillance footage, then my old ginseng root will have died a worthy death."

"I'll ask her."

Lu Xingye has finally passed this test.

Minister Wei chuckled, then his expression turned pained.

That old ginseng was brought back by his eldest son; it's been there for quite some time.

He himself is reluctant to use it.

However, it doesn't exactly benefit outsiders.

This little girl, Shen Lu, might become one of our own in the future.

I just don't know how to trick her into joining the Special Security Department.

He highly regarded the young girl's abilities.

The reason for asking Shen Lu for help this time was not only because of her computer skills, but also because of her almost photographic memory.

Lu Xingye also possesses this ability.

But now that Lu Xingye is in charge of such a large group, he doesn't trust him to use him.

But soon, Minister Wei discovered that he had been tricked by Lu Xingye.

The items were given out, but Lu Xingye said that Shen Lu needed to prepare for her final exams and couldn't be distracted.

However, he can provide technical support.

Minister Wei was furious. After all this talk, who doesn't know who?

Lu Xingye wanted to swindle him out of his good stuff, while Minister Wei wanted to trick Shen Lu into joining the organization.

Clearly, Lu Xingye had the upper hand this time.

"Hoshino, you've changed!"

The man who used to be a busybody has now lied to even his teacher for the sake of his fiancée.

"The minister is overthinking it."

Lu Xingye's tone remained indifferent.

However, the two are master and apprentice, and they know each other very well.

Minister Wei didn't say much more. It didn't matter who provided the support, as long as the anomaly could be found.

Lu Xingye is indeed impressive.

Several suspicious vehicles were found.

The Special Security Department cooperated with the police and investigated many people, but none of them were arrested.

Because there is no conclusive evidence.
