Chapter 372 Clues (Subscribe)
Zhou Yunfei looked at Fang Xianzheng expressionlessly, then looked at the First Commander who had remained silent beside him.

He found that the gazes of both men were a bit sharp, especially Fang Xianzheng, the smiling tiger, whose eyes were like knives.

Zhou Yunfei knew that Fang Xianzheng was an extremely smart man, so how could he not see the clues?
He and Lin Rui handled the Hayden Smith incident perfectly. Lin Rui even obtained evidence of treason against this person afterwards, filling in the final procedural issues.

But people don't care about these things. They can directly make reasonable inferences based on the internal and external connections and the final outcome of the case.

However, this was within his expectations. In order to facilitate future actions, some superficial "cooperation" was needed between the Ninth Division and "Lin Hao".

The East Asian Federation is about to engage in such a large-scale smuggling transaction with Master Lin Ruiluo and his apprentice Wangshu, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone.

Zhou Yunfei's face was solemn. "I can only say that our Ninth Branch currently has a plan centered around Lin Hao, the commander of the Assassination Bureau. Beyond that, I have no further information."

The First Commander-in-Chief and Fang Xianzheng couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions, and felt that Zhou Yunfei's answer was very interesting.

This person did not directly answer "there is a contact channel", but said that there was a "plan centered around Lin Hao", which means there are many possibilities.

Fang Xianzheng narrowed his eyes and asked Zhou Yunfei a few more questions with interest. Finding that he was being very tight-lipped and he could not get any answers out of him, he simply ended the questioning and kicked Zhou Yunfei out of the virtual meeting.

Fang Xianzheng then frowned slightly. "General, I think Zhou Yunfei's answer just now is very problematic. The Security Bureau needs to conduct a more in-depth investigation into the relationship between Zhou Yunfei and Lin Hao. We also need to understand the details of this plan."

"There's no need for that. To do a good job on the security front, we must give our subordinates a certain degree of autonomy."

The First Commander responded expressionlessly, "We currently have no evidence that Zhou Yunfei betrayed Smith. Hayden Smith is indeed suspected of treason and crimes against humanity. Without further evidence, there is no need to investigate this case further."

In fact, he had already begun to suspect the Third Special Operations Division under Zhou Yunfei, as well as Lieutenant General "Thunder" who had X-level confidentiality clearance.

The so-called Lieutenant General 'Thunder' is actually a freshman at Mingde University named Lin Rui, and also a rising martial arts star.

The first commander-in-chief has always been confused as to why Zhou Yunfei recruited Lin Rui with such high standards?

At this moment, a guess came to his mind that there might be a connection between Lieutenant General Thunder and Lin Hao.

But is this possible?

A 19-year-old boy became the commander of the Song Dynasty's Anti-Traitor Bureau, and also obtained the Divine Honor Order, becoming one of the people most likely to be promoted to a Divine Envoy in the future of the Song Dynasty.

Even with the shrewdness of the First Commander, his heart trembled slightly and his blood surged.

This is just his guess and further investigation is needed.

The First Marshal did not intend to share this top-secret information with Fang Xianzheng.

He believed that none of these politicians were reliable, not even Fang Xianzheng, with whom he had worked happily over the years.

Unless Fang Xianzheng obtains the overall approval of the Homeland Security Committee and successfully initiates an inquiry, the First Commander-in-Chief will not reveal a single word about the relevant intelligence.

Fang Xianzheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at the first commander opposite him with suspicion.

He was keenly aware that the disagreement between them was most likely due to inconsistent information.

Fang Xianzheng's smile returned to his face. "Then let's not pursue it. Next up is the assassination plan submitted by the 'Lin Hao Special Countermeasures Operations Division.' According to the latest intelligence, Lin Hao has not only been personally commended by the 'Eastern Abyss,' but has also been granted a Divine Honor Order. Considering all factors, I believe this plan is inappropriate, at least for the short term."

"No, we don't have the capital to provoke the Eastern Abyss!"

The First Commander fell into deep thought. "Judging from the current situation, this Lin Hao isn't some uncommunicative God's Pure Minister. That's sufficient. The current mission of the 'Lin Hao Special Countermeasures Operations Department' must focus on observation and early warning."

Fang Xianzheng nodded slightly, but was thinking in his heart, is this really so?

What exactly was Zhou Yunfei's plan? What did the First Commander infer from Zhou Yunfei's words?
His expression remained unchanged. "Congressman James proposed that the Department of Homeland Security investigate Linghu Mingde and his alter ego. The Assassination Bureau's arrest operation was massive, resulting in the loss of numerous alter ego practitioners and over 20 reserve colonial generals. He believes the source of the Assassination Bureau's intelligence is the Linghu family. This reserve two-star marshal has betrayed the Federation and his compatriots, committing treason and crimes against humanity."

"Negative!" The First Commander shook his head slightly. "We don't have any evidence at the moment, but we can have the Lin Hao Special Countermeasures Division focus on this case together."

He then smiled sarcastically: "This time, it was Jin Bolong who made the mistake first. And to a certain extent, these alien walkers arrested by the Assassination Bureau are the real traitors. It's not bad that these trash died at the hands of the Tianji people."

Most of the aliens apprehended by the Assassination Bureau this time were involved in illegal activities, such as smuggling, human experimentation, and drug trafficking. According to intelligence from within the Assassination Bureau, the charges against these individuals were largely proven. This infuriated the First Commander!

Are these so-called alien beings really human beings? Are they really their compatriots?

Fang Xianzheng once again felt the change in the commander-in-chief's attitude.

Just half an hour ago, although the commander-in-chief was extremely disgusted with the alien travelers arrested by the Assassination Bureau, he was highly wary of Lin Hao, the commander of the Assassination Bureau, and issued a second warning order.

Fang Xianzheng was extremely curious and wondered what on earth had caused the commander-in-chief to change his attitude towards Lin Hao.

"Master Commander, what you said is inappropriate. If it gets out, it will cause an uproar."

Fang Xianzheng crossed his arms and smiled as he looked at the First Commander-in-Chief. "We have no evidence to accuse them of treason, and according to our federal laws, drug traffickers also have human rights."

The First Commander snorted softly and glanced sharply out the French window. "So what if it gets out? I won't allow this kind of shitty law to continue to exist."

Fang Xianzheng disagreed when he heard this and thought to himself, how could this be easy?

The reason why the former first commander joined the "Divine Note Society" was because he could not stand the various ugliness and chaos within the federation and wanted to overthrow and eliminate them.

Finally, the former federal president went alone to a stronghold of the Divine Society to meet with the First Commander-in-Chief, and used the reasons that 'starting a civil war may lead to heavy casualties among the people of the Federation', and 'humanity must crack the secrets of immortality and the abyss as soon as possible, and cannot waste resources and power on civil war', and promised great power, to convince the First Commander-in-Chief, who had the strength of a ninth-level emperor, to withdraw from the rebel group of the 'Divine Society'.

But what about now? The First Commander cannot but tolerate the various filth and darkness within the Federation.

To a certain extent, he even became the blade for the federal rentier class to suppress the internal situation.

In the director's office of the Ninth Branch, Zhou Yunfei looked relieved and breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the meeting.

At this moment, his teacher, the white-haired old man in the attire of a two-star marshal, was sitting opposite him. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Does Fang Xianzheng put a lot of pressure on you?"

"Isn't it? That's Fang Xianzheng, the political fox. He also has the nickname of a fox. Xu Yu isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes. He's very smart and perceptive. I think he's already noticed something."

Zhou Yunfei walked over to the white-haired old man and sat down. "I'm not actually afraid of him leaking secrets. I'm just worried he'll use it to profit. Fang Xianzheng is well-known for his ability to exploit all resources. As long as they're useful to him, he'll squeeze them dry."

He then personally poured tea for the teacher: "I really have to thank you this time, teacher. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to capture Hua Xin's alien form."

In fact, what he wanted to say was that it was thanks to the teacher's illusion that Hayden Smith and his group were lured to the Thousand Magnetic Forest.

However, Zhou Yunfei was very cautious and would not say this within the Security Bureau.

"It's just a simple favor. I'm doing this for the sake of Han Kedao, my student. The most important thing is that there's no risk involved."

The white-haired old man chuckled. Strictly speaking, he had violated the rules this time, but he had only been concealing the true whereabouts of Hua Xin's alien body and releasing a false signal. He really didn't have to take any risks.

"But I never imagined that the Ninth Division would become so rotten in just a few decades."

Zhou Yunfei wondered when he first took office. He had never imagined that people like Hayden Smith would be so ruthless as to betray the branch's alien walkers to undermine his authority.

"It's really bad, but we have seen hope. We have found evidence of Hayden Smith's treason, and You Ming is also worried about the Nursery Rhyme Killer. In two years at most, I should be able to complete my goal of cleaning up the Ninth Division."

Zhou Yunfei held the teapot, a strange light in his eyes: "Teacher, you should know, right? Lin Hao got the Divine Honor Order."

"This matter has been heard by the entire city of Luojing. How could I not know about it?"

The white-haired old man also had a strange look on his face: "He actually came to this point and gained the trust of the gods."

At this moment, he paused and put down his teacup with a serious expression: "We will talk later. Linghuan has appeared."

　Not tonight.
