Chapter 975 Digging Up the Flowerbed in the Shen Residence
On the other side, Chi Shuyan called Qi Zhenbai and recounted roughly what had happened today. Mainly, she told him how Father Wei wanted to dig up the flowerbed at the Shen residence, but had been stopped.
She said, "I"m afraid I"ll have to trouble you with this. Uncle Wei said that Commissar Shen didn"t do anything wrong, after all. Legally, we can"t rashly enter their house to do a search."
Qi Zhenbai was silent for a moment, then immediately said, "Okay, leave this to me. Don"t worry!"
Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
On the training ground, Xiong Tianning and the others had been abused by their boss all morning. When they finally had a break, they wiped their sweat. Xiong Tianning couldn"t help but say weakly, "Boss, did Sister-in-law call you? Why don"t we stop here for today? We want to treat Sister-in-law to a meal. When are you free? Are you free now?"
As soon as Xiong Tianning finished speaking, the others echoed him.
Qi Zhenbai glanced at them coldly, and Xiong Tianning, Yang Mu and the others immediately shut up obediently. They didn"t dare mention this topic again, and heard their boss say coldly, "Get up and come with me!"
"Boss, where are we going?" Yang Mu flopped over like a carp.
"The Shen residence!"
The Shen residence?
Yan Youwei jerked in disbelief. Why was Boss taking them to the Shen residence? There was no way it was to let them see their G.o.ddess, right?
The boys were lost in thought, when their boss instructed again, "Give the order: Have all of the Cheetah Corps gather."
At that moment, a tall and imposing middle-aged man appeared, and he called out, "Zhenbai!"
Qi Zhenbai strode over and said a few words in a low voice. The middle-aged man immediately agreed with a smile and said respectfully, "Zhenbai, you were the one who trained this Cheetah Corps. Don"t you see how Old Yan and the others acknowledge only you as their boss?"
After a pause, the other party asked, "What happened?"
"We"ll talk about it when we get back!" Qi Zhenbai patted his shoulder, and the man didn"t ask.
Yan Youwei and the others really thought that their boss was planning to take them to relax and look at their G.o.ddess. Although this could only be a fantasy and couldn"t be taken seriously, many of them couldn"t help but mutter along the way.
But when their boss really took them to the Shen residence not to see their G.o.ddess, but to search her house, Yan Youwei and the others were somewhat stupefied.
Qi Zhenbai divided them into two teams. One team led by Yan Youwei searched the premises, and the other led by Xiong Tianning dug up the flowerbed at the back.
It was true that Yan Youwei and the others liked their G.o.ddess, but they had never thought of disobeying their boss. After feeling stumped for a moment, they immediately calmed down and obeyed.
The people who lived nearby were all people of status. When several extraordinary military cars stopped at the entrance of the residence where the Shen family used to live, the right eyelids of a few military wives twitched, and they immediately let their men know. There were also people who were on good terms with the Shen family who helped pa.s.s on the news. One of them was Old Commander Lu"s wife. When she went back and told Commander Lu about this, his face changed drastically. He thought that Wei Xiao and the others hadn"t listened to his advice and had recklessly gone to search the Shen residence, so he was a little angry.
Old Commander Lu immediately went to the Shen residence. When he saw the military cars with the cheetah symbol on them outside the Shen residence, his face changed drastically. For a moment, he didn"t know whether to go in or wait outside.
He didn"t necessarily know everyone in the military district, but Commander Lu had heard of this mysterious and unfathomable special force, the Cheetah Corps.
He had even seen the other party come back from missions a few times. What left the deepest impression on Commander Lu was how Chief Qi had swept away all obstacles with this Cheetah Corps. Generally speaking, unless it was a major mission or something similar, the Cheetah Corps wouldn"t be mobilized.
Seeing this special force come in and out of the Shen residence, Commander Lu"s right eyelid twitched.
As soon as Commander Lu entered, he didn"t know if his luck was good or bad when he ran into Qi Zhenbai, who stood as unmoving as a mountain in his military uniform. His face was cold and hard, and his light gaze was nevertheless very oppressive.
Old Commander Lu was a very senior commander in the military district, so everyone here, whether of higher or lower rank, accorded him a lot of respect.
But now, in front of this expressionless Chief Qi, Old Commander Lu didn"t dare put on any airs at all, even though he hadn"t forgotten that this person had long retired from the army. Just as Commander Lu was about to respectfully go over and speak, he heard someone suddenly say in a loud and solemn voice, "Boss, the flowerbed is packed with human bones. We also found many human skeletons buried elsewhere! I"m afraid there are at least a hundred of them!"
The person reporting was an alarmed Yan Youwei. They had just listened to their boss"s command and dug around casually – they hadn"t expected to dig up so many human bones in the flowerbed behind the Shen residence. It was simply hair-raising and terrifying.
When Commander Lu heard this, he was so shocked that his vision turned black and his legs turned to jelly. He almost slumped to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief and shock. He was about to speak, when there was the sound of Mother Shen shouting. "Who told you to come to my Shen residence? Was it that rascal, Wei Xiao? I knew he wanted to harm our Shen family!"
Qi Zhenbai ignored the voices outside as well as Commander Lu in front of him. He asked Yan Youwei, "Are you done digging?"
Yan Youwei replied to his boss, "Boss, there"s still some left!"
"Let the Shen family in now!"
"Yes, Boss!"
