Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

When they came out, they knew what the people outside were talking about, but the old man didn't want to argue with them. After all, he needed to take care of important matters, and what his subordinates were discussing was never within his consideration.

"Don't listen to what they're discussing. I didn't mean it that way at all. The reason I took you to discuss with those old guys behind the scenes was to come up with a solution."

Feng Tianci knew that these people in power all had their own agendas, and now the old man was willing to solve the problem and didn't want those foreign forces to get too involved.

That's already an attitude, so how could Feng Tianci possibly pressure him too much in this regard?

“I know what you mean. I didn’t expect you to solve any problems. If I asked you to solve them, you might not be able to, and you might even make things worse.”

After Feng Tianci finished speaking, he walked forward. The old man admired him, thinking that Feng Tianci would not let this go this time.

They soon found the home of one of the elderly women. Once inside, they found the old woman with her eyes closed, a pot of tea brewing in front of her.

He appeared remarkably unassuming; if Feng Tianci were to encounter him on the street, he would never mistake him for a high-ranking official from some organization.

"Grandma Li, I've already told you about what happened last time. And what do you think about this foreign force infiltrating our Special Bureau and trying to replace us? No matter what, this Special Bureau is in the hands of our people, so at least it's a force within our country. But what if it falls into the hands of others..."

The old man spoke slowly and deliberately, and he felt that at least Old Mrs. Li understood.

The old lady opened her eyes and looked at the old man. She knew that the old man had been doing many things openly for many years, although his power was different from theirs.

However, sometimes power needs to be mutually integrated. He never expected that they would come to him for help today, so he put down his teacup.

“Grandpa, you know that some things can’t be completely resolved. Besides, you’ve been doing a lot of things openly all these years, while I’m just a retired old lady. Why do you insist that I solve these problems? I can’t solve them.”

When the old lady refused, the old man knew that she was unwilling to resolve the issue, and that there were other reasons besides this so-called legitimate reason.

"I know you can't solve this, but I want to know who's behind all this?"

The old man was also very direct. Mrs. Li almost spat out her tea. Goodness, I thought you would at least beat around the bush.

In front of a young person, you really didn't mince words at all, and you revealed everything that happened in the Special Bureau. How can you be such a person?

"Old man, you need to be reasonable. You should know that everyone despises the foreign forces behind this. How could we possibly have any contact with them? If we did, the consequences would be unbearable for anyone. You understand that. You don't need to ask me about this. If you do, wouldn't you just be trying to pin the blame on me?"

The old man realized that the other party was not going to get involved. "Madam Li, your family has always been loved by the people, and many brands have given you a lot of face. Now you keep saying you're not going to care. If the people find out..."

As soon as the old man spoke, he immediately took out a recording pen. Anyway, he had come here today with a thick skin, and no matter what, he would never let anyone escape unscathed.

Grandma Li was also furious. She never expected that the old man would behave so shamelessly. He was utterly shameless.

Who walks around carrying a recording pen? This leaves no way for anyone to survive.

"I think you're just getting senile. This is a matter for the Special Bureau. Why don't you just let the Special Bureau handle it themselves? You insist on interfering. You're not interfering, and you still expect us to solve it? How we solve it has nothing to do with us."

The old lady was so angry she was about to curse. Just then, Feng Tianci stepped forward.

“I am the head of the Special Bureau, madam. I know that when you were young, you were someone who always took the lead. Now that foreign forces are infiltrating, we are all in the same boat and will definitely be affected. Don’t you want to resolve this matter? I believe you definitely do. It’s just that you don’t know where to start. Perhaps I can provide you with a channel.”

Upon hearing Feng Tianci describe the channels word by word, the old lady burst out laughing.

He hadn't expected this so-called young man to make things so simple. If things were that simple, that would be great; he could solve it too.

“Young man, you must have misunderstood. If things were easy to solve, would we need you? I could have easily resolved it myself. But some things are not as simple as you imagine.”

"In your opinion, perhaps as long as I step in to control certain people, or find out the so-called informants and spies, the problem can be solved. But you need to know who is behind these so-called spies. This is not something you can easily solve with just a few words."

The old lady sighed with worry. How could he not want to solve the problem?
However, he is now too old to get involved in certain matters.

"Weren't you very brave when you were young? How come you've lost all your courage now that you're old? You even seem to be indecisive now. If you're not willing to resolve this, then fine. See if you'll be implicated. You understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' better than anyone else. Since you're not willing to get involved, then just pretend I was never here today."

After the old man finished speaking, he threw the recording equipment directly into the trash can.

He also didn't want to use this kind of thing to threaten people. If someone is unwilling to do many things, even if you release this thing, people can say it's synthetic.

After they came out, Feng Tianci was particularly puzzled. The old man had clearly made it to that point, so why did he give up so easily now, without even taking their only bargaining chip?

"Old man, you're not just putting on an act for me, are you? Are you going to shift the blame onto me in the end?" (End of Chapter)
