Chapter 29 Guoan Comes to the Door
The next day, early in the morning.
Luo Fei's home in Liuxi Village.
The family is having breakfast.
Luo Ying was in much better spirits, chattering excitedly with her parents about the interesting things that happened at school, deliberately avoiding unpleasant memories.
Luo Fei ate little, but remained quiet.
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, there was a knock on the gate.
Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.
Who could it be so early in the morning?
Luo Fei put down his chopsticks and bowl, his eyes narrowing slightly.
His perception is far more acute than that of ordinary people.
There was more than one person outside the door.
His breathing was steady, his steps were firm, and he was clearly well-trained.
They were not ordinary villagers or relatives.
"I'll go take a look." Luo Fei stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Open the courtyard gate.
There were three people standing outside the door.
Two men and one woman.
The leader was a man in his forties with a square face.
Behind him was a young man and a short-haired woman who looked to be in her late twenties and had a cool and aloof demeanor.
"Excuse me, is this Comrade Luo Fei's home?" The leading man asked with a friendly smile and a calm tone.
"I am Luo Fei." Luo Fei stood inside the door, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three people.
"Comrade Luo Fei, hello." The man took out his identification from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to Luo Fei. "We are staff members of the Longhai branch of the Ministry of State Security. My surname is Chen, Chen Tao. These two are my colleagues."
Luo Fei's parents and sister came over when they heard the commotion.
Upon seeing the strangers and identification documents outside the door, Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan's faces turned pale instantly.
National Security?!
They've come knocking on our door?!
Luo Ying nervously grabbed her mother's arm.
"Don't be nervous, uncles and aunts, Comrade Luo Fei."
Chen Tao noticed the family's nervousness and his smile became even warmer.
"We have no ill intentions in coming here. Our main purpose is to ask Comrade Luo Fei to come back with us to help us understand some of the events that happened in northern Myanmar a few days ago. Comrade Luo Fei is a witness and a hero who made great contributions. We need to make some more detailed records and verify the situation."
His words were polite, and his reasons were sound.
But the words "go back" and "help understand" still made Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan's hearts jump to their throats.
They instinctively looked at their son.
Luo Fei's expression remained calm.
He had long anticipated that the authorities would come knocking on his door sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't ordinary police officers who arrived, but rather members of the National Security Bureau.
"Where are we going? How long will we be gone?" Luo Fei asked.
"It's in the city, not far. It's mainly for taking a statement and having a chat. If all goes well, I can be back today," Chen Tao answered specifically, trying to allay the other party's concerns.
Luo Fei nodded.
He turned around and looked at his parents and sister, whose faces were full of worry.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoying, it's nothing." His voice was calm. "I'm just going to cooperate with some work and explain the situation clearly. Wait for me at home, I'll be back soon."
"Xiaofei..." The mother looked worried, as if she wanted to say something.
"Mom, don't worry." Luo Fei gently patted his mother's hand. "It's really nothing. Wait for me to come back for lunch."
He then looked at his father, Luo Weidong.
Luo Weidong's lips moved, but in the end he just nodded heavily: "...Come back soon."
"Brother..." Luo Ying bit her lip, her eyes filled with unease.
"Stay home with Mom and Dad." Luo Fei smiled at her. "I'll be back soon."
Reassure your family.
Luo Fei turned around and looked at Chen Tao and the other two outside the door.
"Let's go."
Without saying anything more, he stepped out of the courtyard gate.
Chen Tao stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.
Not far from the gate of the courtyard, a black sedan was parked, with a driver inside.
Luo Fei got into the back seat of the car.
Chen Tao sat in the passenger seat, while the other two sat on either side of Luo Fei.
The car started.
They drove smoothly away from the village.
Outside the car window, fields and villages rushed past.
The sunlight was bright, casting dappled shadows inside the car through the windows.
Luo Fei sat in the middle of the back seat, leaning back in his chair with his hands casually resting on his knees.
He gazed calmly out the window.
Chen Tao, sitting in the passenger seat, subtly observed the young man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
calm.
It's too peaceful.
Being taken away by the national security department to cooperate with the investigation would cause tension and unease for any ordinary citizen.
But Luo Fei, from the moment we met until now, has not shown the slightest panic or resistance in his expression, eyes, or body language.
This unusual calmness only made Chen Tao more vigilant and further confirmed the superior's assessment in the briefing that this person was "extraordinary".
The man and woman sitting on either side of Luo Fei also maintained a high degree of professionalism and vigilance.
They sat seemingly casually, but their muscles were in a state of tension, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
The carriage was very quiet.
No one speaks.
Luo Fei was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he closed his eyes to rest.
About an hour later.
The car drove into Longhai city.
Instead of heading to the bustling city center, we turned into the new urban area.
Finally, it slowly stopped in front of a building that looked like an ordinary office building, but had armed police officers standing guard at the entrance.
"Comrade Luo Fei, we've arrived." Chen Tao turned around with a gentle smile on his face.
Luo Fei opened his eyes and nodded.
After getting off the bus, he stood in front of the somewhat solemn building and looked up at it.
The building isn't very tall, maybe a dozen stories.
The exterior is ordinary, but the windows are all tinted, so you can't see inside from the outside.
The armed police officers at the entrance stood tall and straight, their sharp eyes sweeping over the group.
Chen Tao led Luo Fei into the building.
The hall was bustling with people, most of them in a hurry, dressed in casual clothes or uniforms, with serious expressions.
Many people turned their gazes to Chen Tao as he brought in a young, unfamiliar man, but quickly looked away.
Clearly, the people here are very good at following the rules.
Chen Tao led Luo Fei directly to a private elevator that required a card to enter.
Several people walked in.
The elevator is going up.
There were no floor buttons displayed, but Luo Fei could sense that he was ascending rapidly.
About twenty seconds later, the elevator stopped.
The door opened.
Outside was a quiet corridor covered with a dark gray carpet.
The lighting is soft, and the walls are made of soundproof material, so you can't hear any outside noise.
Chen Tao led Luo Fei toward the conference room.
He pushed open the door and gestured to Luo Fei, "Comrade Luo Fei, please come in."
Luo Fei stepped into the room.
Three people were already seated at the head of the conference table and on one side.
At the head of the table was a man in his early fifties, wearing a dark Zhongshan suit, with a lean face.
He sat there, naturally becoming the center of attention in the room, exuding a calm and authoritative aura.
To his left was an army colonel, dressed in a crisp military uniform, with a resolute face and upright posture.
On the right is a middle-aged man wearing a suit.
When Luo Fei walked in, all three of them focused their attention on him.
Chen Tao followed Luo Fei in and gently closed the door.
Then, he strode to the conference table and bowed slightly to the man in the Zhongshan suit at the head of the table: "Director Qin, Comrade Luo Fei has arrived."
The man in the Zhongshan suit, addressed as Director Qin, smiled and stood up.
As soon as he stood up, the colonel and the man in the suit next to him also immediately stood up.
"Comrade Luo Fei, hello." Director Qin's voice was steady. "I apologize for inviting you here. Please have a seat."
He pointed to the empty chair across the conference table.
Their attitude was polite, even respectful.
Luo Fei nodded, walked to the chair, pulled it out, and sat down.
The movements were natural.
Director Qin and the other two also sat down again.
Chen Tao then walked to a small bar in the corner of the room and began to quietly brew tea.
"Let me introduce myself first." Director Qin leaned forward slightly, looking at Luo Fei with a frank gaze. "My surname is Qin, Qin Zhenhua, and I come from Kyoto. I am responsible for coordinating some special matters."
"This gentleman," Director Qin pointed to the senior colonel in military uniform on the left, "is Yang Zhenguo, the brigade commander of the Special Operations Brigade of the Eastern Theater Command."
Yang Zhenguo nodded to Luo Fei and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Luo Fei, hello."
"This gentleman," Director Qin pointed to the man in the suit on the right, "is Zhou Mingyu, Director Zhou of the Eighth Bureau of the Ministry of State Security."
Zhou Mingyu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave Luo Fei a polite smile: "Comrade Luo Fei, I've heard so much about you."
Luo Fei's gaze swept calmly over the three of them.
I understand.
"Greetings, leaders," Luo Fei began, his voice steady. "I am Luo Fei."
A simple self-introduction, without any unnecessary words.
A hint of admiration flashed in Director Qin's eyes.
To remain so calm and composed in the face of such a situation and pressure is truly remarkable.
"Comrade Luo Fei, first of all, on behalf of the country, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your actions in northern Myanmar." Director Qin's tone became solemn.
"You not only rescued your own sister, but also freed hundreds of compatriots from prison, destroyed a highly dangerous criminal den, and seized crucial evidence and a huge amount of illicit gains. You have made indelible contributions to the country and the people!"
His words were sincere and carried great weight.
Luo Fei nodded slightly: "It's what I should do."
There was no taking credit, no arrogance.
"Your achievements will not be forgotten by the country and the people." Director Qin paused, then changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious. "However, Comrade Luo Fei, the personal abilities you displayed in this operation... have also greatly shocked and perplexed us."
"Based on the information we have, and the reports from Comrades Zhao Jianguo and Li Feng of the Yunhai Municipal Bureau," Director Qin continued, his gaze fixed on Luo Fei, "your performance in northern Myanmar has far exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, and even... exceeded the limits of current scientific and military knowledge."
"We have no intention of probing the source or secrets of your personal abilities," Director Qin emphasized sincerely. "Everyone has their own circumstances and privacy, and as long as it does not harm the country or society, we will respect that."
"However," he raised his voice slightly, "the emergence of such a powerful and uncontrollable force within our country gives us a responsibility and an obligation to understand and assess it. This is not only for the security and stability of the nation, but also, in a sense, for the long-term safety of you and your family."
"We hope to have an open and honest conversation with you," Director Qin concluded, his gaze frank. "We want to understand your attitude, your bottom line, and our possible future ways of getting along."
His words were reasonable and measured, expressing both the official stance and concerns, as well as respect for Luo Fei personally and a willingness to seek cooperation.
The room fell silent.
All eyes were on Luo Fei.
We await his response.
Luo Fei remained silent for a moment.
His fingers tapped lightly twice on the smooth conference table.
Then, he raised his head and calmly met Director Qin's gaze.
"Director Qin, Brigade Commander Yang, Director Zhou," Luo Fei said in a low voice, "I'd like to first state my position: I, Luo Fei, am a citizen of China. I love this country and cherish the peaceful and stable life I have now. My family, friends, and everyone I care about live here."
"Therefore, I can assure you," Luo Fei said, enunciating each word clearly, "that as long as I am within the borders of the Dragon Kingdom, and as long as my family and friends are safe and sound, I will never abuse my abilities to do anything that harms the country, society, or ordinary people. This is my bottom line, and it is also my promise."
Director Qin and the other two exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of relief in the other's eyes.
This statement is very important.
This at least shows that Luo Fei is not an uncommunicative or malicious individual.
He has a basic sense of national identity and a bottom line on right and wrong.
"We believe your promise." Director Qin nodded, his tone softening. "However, Comrade Luo Fei, we need to have a relatively objective understanding of your capabilities."
He put it very tactfully.
Luo Fei understood.
He hesitated for a moment.
Then, he slowly began to speak: "In northern Myanmar, what I displayed was probably only one percent of my current strength."
