Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1549 Archives Center
In Xu Chunliang's view, this agreement was nothing short of a contract of servitude. But no matter what kind of agreement it was, it would be useless if he didn't acknowledge it. He guessed that Feng Mingjun didn't expect him to follow the rules anyway, and that having him sign this agreement was just a formality.

Nevertheless, Xu Chunliang carefully reviewed the agreement to make sure there were no major pitfalls before signing his name.

Feng Mingjun said, "From today onwards, you are a member of Bureau 579, directly under my command. Your number is 44, and your code name is Lone Wolf."

Xu Chunliang wondered if he really needed to be so formal, but he was in a hurry to get the information from Feng Mingjun, so he had to put on a show. But was this number a joke to him? Everyone else was numbered 007 or something, and even though he joined late, how come he was numbered 44 by such a coincidence? Thinking of the curse that had repeatedly come true for his group of skydivers, was this number a hint that he could only live to be 44?
Xu Chunliang didn't dwell on this matter too much; it was just a code name, why take it so seriously?

Seeing that Feng Mingjun had put away his agreement, Xu Chunliang asked, "Can we go in now?"

Feng Mingjun asked, "Where did you hide Su Qing?"

Xu Chunliang asked, "Can I not answer?"

Feng Mingjun said, "You've just read the regulations; you can't hide anything from your direct superiors."

Xu Chunliang said, "I didn't know. I thought you had her under control."

Surprisingly, Feng Mingjun didn't press the matter further. He nodded, walked towards the elevator, and used both fingerprint and iris recognition to open the elevator door.

Xu Chunliang followed her inside: "Up or down..."

Before he could finish speaking, the elevator began to descend, just as Xu Chunliang had predicted. To outsiders, it looked like a small building, but in fact, there was a hidden world inside, and the secrets were all underground.

The elevator reached the underground level, and Feng Mingjun stepped out of the elevator door. Xu Chunliang followed closely behind her. This was the core area of ​​Bureau 579, and her people were all around. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he was afraid of being outnumbered.

Xu Chunliang said, "This must be dozens of meters underground, right?"

Feng Mingjun said, "The way to save your life here is to not ask what you shouldn't ask and not look at what you shouldn't look at."

Xu Chunliang said, "Alright, I won't ask, okay?"

Feng Mingjun led him through the underground, which was more than ten times the size of the small building. Along the way, they passed several research and development centers, where everyone was busy. Even when Feng Mingjun passed by, no one paid her any attention.

Xu Chunliang followed Feng Mingjun to the archives room, where two guards saluted Feng Mingjun at the door.

Even Feng Mingjun had to pass three verifications before she could use the blue card in her hand to open the heavy alloy door.

Entering through the gate, one walks into a lush forest with blue sky and white clouds overhead. Upon closer inspection, Xu Chunliang realizes that the dome is hand-painted, but the trees and vegetation below are real.

Feng Mingjun said, "The light here mimics the sunlight outside, which is why the vegetation grows so well. Doesn't it resemble the real natural world?"

Xu Chunliang had no interest in these things; he came today to see the secret materials from back then.

After passing through the garden and two glass doors, you enter a glass building surrounded by a stream and shaded by green trees. With the addition of natural-looking light, the building blends seamlessly into its surroundings.

Inside was an elderly man with white hair, wearing a gray linen robe, barefoot, and reading a book.

Before entering, Feng Mingjun also took off his shoes, and Xu Chunliang followed suit.

Feng Mingjun introduced, "This is our archives center."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, it's more like a library.

The old man noticed Feng Mingjun's arrival, came up to her, and smiled: "Is there anything you need?"

Feng Mingjun introduced Xu Chunliang to him: "This is number 44. He wants to know some information. Can you help him? This is my authorization letter."

The old man nodded and led Xu Chunliang toward the archives area. Feng Mingjun did not follow. Instead, she went to the coffee area alone, poured herself a cup of coffee, chose a book, and sat by the window to read and wait.

"What kind of files would you like to know?" The old man asked with a smile, but his voice was as calm and still as a lake, without any fluctuations. Such a person was frighteningly stable in his emotions.

Xu Chunliang said, "Fang Boyan's materials."

The old man knew all the files here like the back of his hand. Without taking any time to think, he accurately found Fang Boyan's file in the filing cabinet and handed it to Xu Chunliang.

Hsu Chun-liang noticed that although it is a highly developed modern society, the archives here are still preserved in the most traditional way.

"Do you have Mei Xiqing's file?"

The old man replied, "She is not one of ours; she only has some of the materials."

Xu Chunliang then mentioned Xu Jiaxuan's name, showing his interest in his father's identity.

The old man didn't give it to him this time because Xu Jiaxuan's file was confidential, and even with Feng Mingjun's authorization, he didn't have the authority to access it.

Xu Chunliang then mentioned Liu Haiyu's name, but still did not receive permission. He concluded that although Feng Mingjun pretended to cooperate fully, she was still restricting his activities.

Nevertheless, they had already made considerable progress today. Xu Chunliang decided to read through the two files first. Fang Boyan's file showed that he was one of the founders of Bureau 579, and initially made numerous contributions, being regarded as a hero by everyone, which showed how deeply he had been hiding.

During his time working here, he took advantage of his position to sell a lot of intelligence, causing the deaths of many colleagues. He was exposed because of the Huang Qijia case. He arranged for Huang Youlong, the orphan of the Huang family, to leave the country. His abnormal behavior was discovered by Elder Ye.

In fact, Xu Chunliang had already learned most of the details through Wang Zhengdao. The records about Fang Boyan in the archives were not very detailed, only specifying his birth and death dates.

Comparatively speaking, Mei Xiqing's information surprised Xu Chunliang more. Upon opening the file numbered 12301, he was immediately drawn to the ID photo in the upper right corner of the file.

The photo shows Mei Xiqing in the prime of her youth, and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Mei Ruxue's.

According to the information, the status column shows that she is dead. Mei Xiqing returned to China to work as an overseas student and once served as the public relations manager of Lanxing Company.

Xu Chunliang was taken aback. Wasn't Lanxing Company the property of Ji Buyao, the leader of the Orchid Sect? Did that mean Ji Buyao and Mei Xiqing knew each other? He had never heard anyone else mention this before.

It records how Mei Xiqing interfered in Qiao Yuanshan's family, how Qiao Yuanshan was ruined and his future was destroyed because of Mei Xiqing, and how Mei Xiqing died as a result of being murdered, the direct cause of death being a gunshot. There is also a photo of her death, her upper body naked, with a shocking bullet hole in her left chest, right in front of her heart.

Feng Mingjun waited for a full three hours before Xu Chunliang finally returned to her side.

Feng Mingjun showed no impatience and asked softly, "Finished reading?"

Xu Chunliang said, "The files here are not as detailed as I imagined."

Feng Mingjun said calmly, "Many of the files in Bureau 579 were destroyed by the traitors from back then, so it's normal that you don't find what you're looking for."

Xu Chunliang said, "Is the biggest traitor that guy surnamed Fang?"

Feng Mingjun sighed and said, "I don't have any impression of him. He was once a hero of Bureau 579. No one would have thought that he would betray us."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, Feng Mingjun's father had died at Fang Boyan's hands. Such hatred should be etched in his heart, so how could he not have any impression of it?

Xu Chunliang said, "I have reviewed a lot of files, but I have not found any information about the relationship between Fang Boyan and Mei Xiqing."

Feng Mingjun said, "When Fang Boyan died, Mei Xiqing had not yet been born."

"But that doesn't mean they have no connection."

Feng Mingjun asked, "What are you suspecting?"

Xu Chunliang did not answer her question. Feng Mingjun couldn't possibly not know what he suspected. Now it seems that Mei Xiqing approached Qiao Yuanshan and Wang Zhengdao back then for revenge. If her relationship with Fang Boyan can be proven, then everything will become clear.

Xu Chunliang said, "There is no file on Qiao Yuanshan here."

Feng Mingjun said, "Not everyone needs to be investigated by us."

Xu Chunliang said, "Mei Xiqing used to work for Lanxing Company, which belongs to Lanhuamen. What role she played in Lanhuamen is not recorded in your files."

Feng Mingjun said, "That requires you to investigate. Now, tell me your opinion on the Wang Jiancheng case."

Xu Chunliang said, "It must be a pre-planned conspiracy. In fact, from the moment Qiao Yuanshan disappeared, a revenge campaign targeting specific individuals began, including the Wang family, the Ye family, the Qiao family, and even..." Xu Chunliang did not continue, but just looked at Feng Mingjun.

Feng Mingjun understood his meaning, as did she herself. This time, with pressure from both Old Master Wang and Old Master Qiao, the higher-ups had asked her to cooperate with the two old men's demands and provide Xu Chunliang with these materials, which were considered highly confidential.

Feng Mingjun whispered, "Every department has its own rules. Fang Boyan's case has already been closed and the file has been sealed. Even I don't have the authority to reopen the investigation, otherwise it would involve many layers of issues. You should understand, right?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I understand."

Feng Mingjun said, "The biggest difference between Bureau 579 and the police is that we don't necessarily need solid evidence to do many things because we have greater power to impose sanctions and more flexible punishment methods. If we find someone guilty, we can convict them without going through a court trial."

Xu Chunliang said, "Are you reminding me that I already possess such power?"

Feng Mingjun said, "Your speculation makes some sense, but you still need to verify it. Just go ahead and do it. The organization will give you the greatest support under reasonable circumstances."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Could you let me see Liu Haiyu's file?"

Feng Mingjun shook his head: "According to the organization's file management regulations, no one is allowed to access a colleague's file. This is a protective measure."

Xu Chunliang said, "You don't even have the authority?"

"I am me, and you are you."

Hsu Chun-liang said, "So in the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Feng Mingjun said, "Aren't we all the same?"
