Chapter 345 Shock
Old Jia didn't dare to be presumptuous and quickly said, "How can that be! What if you..."
"Hmm?" Chao Bufan raised an eyebrow, clearly rebuking him for meddling. Old Jia was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth and dared not say anything more, changing his words to "Yes, yes, yes".
After Chao Bufan and Li Wei left, Director Jia finally breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and plopped back down in bed.
Li Hongren frowned and then asked, "Old Jia, you're the chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so why are you acting like a mouse in front of a cat when you see this kid? What's his background?"
His words puzzled everyone else, and for a moment, all eyes were fixed on Old Jia's face.
Old Jia gave a bitter smile and said, "Old Li, he's so close to your daughter, didn't you know anything about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hongren glanced at his wife and saw that she also looked confused. He shook his head and said, "I really didn't know. Xiao Wei just came back today, and she came back with him. Xiao Wei only said that this person is a friend of hers, and she didn't tell us anything else."
Old Jia shook his head and gave a bitter smile, saying, "Although you are all officials, you don't understand certain things about the country at all. Do you know who he is?"
Old Zhang said, "Old Jia, stop being so mysterious, who exactly is this person?"
Old Jia smiled, his face filled with utmost respect, and said, "He is our HX Divine Dragon team's Falcon."
"What? He's Falcon?" Everyone was shocked. Even Li Bing, who was clearing the dishes with his wife, dropped the pile of bowls he had just picked up with a "clatter" and shattered them on the ground.
Everyone immediately turned to look at Li Bing, who smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "My mistake, my mistake."
Mrs. Li quickly got up and said, "I'll take care of it."
Li Bing smiled apologetically and then said, "Director Jia, are you sure he's Falcon?"
Old Jia nodded and said, "Confirmed."
Li Bing frowned, puzzled, and said, "That's not right. A while ago, a friend of mine from abroad mentioned to me that our HX Shenlong team's Falcon has already..."
"Bullshit! Who's spreading such rumors?" Old Jia roared, "Who is Falcon? He's a god-like figure in HX, how could he possibly be dead?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Lao Jia continued, "Do you know about that huge international ICE trafficking ring that was busted by the police a few days ago?"
Everyone remained silent in shock and nodded.
Old Jia continued, "This international ICE trafficking ring was taken down by Falcon."
"hiss……"
A series of gasps filled the room. Li Hongren shook his head and smiled, exclaiming, "I never expected that he was Falcon! And he even celebrated my birthday! Heh!"
As he spoke, a hint of pride appeared on Li Hongren's face. He felt incredibly proud, even more so than when he was promoted from deputy commander to commander.
Li Bing shook his head and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "I really didn't expect Falcon to be so young, even younger than me."
Old Jia said, "Old Li, do you know how high his official position is now?"
Li Hongren asked with a wry smile, "How big?"
Old Jia said with an admiring look, "Let me put it this way, even the commander of the Central Military Region has to salute him, let alone us."
Old Zhang shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you were like a mouse when you saw him."
Old Jia dropped another bombshell: "That's not all. Regarding the perfect cracking of the ICE smuggling case, the Central Committee held a meeting yesterday, which I attended. It was personally presided over by the Chairman. The Chairman said at the meeting that China, a great nation, owes its current status entirely to the support of the law. Anyone who breaks the law, no matter who they are, will be punished by the law, including the Chairman himself. However, the Chairman said that Falcon is an exception. The Chairman personally gave him an invisible sword of Damocles. Anyone who breaks the law can be killed without any accountability."
Old Zhang asked in surprise, "Did the boss really say that?"
Old Jia nodded and said, "Yes, Falcon wasn't present at yesterday's meeting. The chairman also said that all provinces and cities across the country must unconditionally cooperate with everything Falcon does."
Everyone shook their heads in astonishment, and a commotion erupted. Old Zhang pointed at Li Hongren and said, "Old Li, what can I say about you? Such an important person appeared right in front of you, and you didn't even know? You didn't even tell us."
Upon hearing this, Old Li smiled wryly and said, "How was I supposed to know he was Falcon? Wasn't his name Chao Bufan?"
Old Jia laughed and said, "That's his other name. Falcon is a complete secret. If I hadn't overheard Governor He let it slip at the provincial meeting last time, I wouldn't have known that the chairman of the Tang Group is Falcon! By the way, Old Li, how come Xiao Wei is walking with him?"
Li Hongren shook his head and said, "I don't know how they met. Her mother called her back, and she only said that she wanted to bring a friend back. She didn't say anything else."
Old Jia nodded and said, "You've really struck it rich this time. Your daughter's relationship with him seems to be quite special!"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother patted her chest in relief. She was glad she hadn't tried to match her daughter with that Gu Qinghua. Otherwise, she would have truly regretted it. Compared to this young man, Gu Qinghua was nothing but a country bumpkin. The thought that this young man had such a great background made Li's mother unable to contain her excitement, and she chuckled.
Li Hongren glanced at his wife and said, "What are you laughing at! Who is he? How could he possibly be interested in Xiao Wei?"
Old Zhang laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Without that kind of relationship, the two of them wouldn't be able to get so close. Old Li, this is a golden turtle that comes along only once in a thousand years! You two have to hold on tight! Hehe, I really didn't expect that we would have the honor of meeting this god-like figure and even having dinner with him."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongren and his wife immediately beamed with joy. Li Hongren chuckled and said, "How well we can get involved in this matter depends on the two of them."
Old Jia shook his head and sighed, saying, "Alas! If my daughter were like him, I would be smiling from ear to ear in my dreams."
"cut!"
Li Hongren and the others immediately rolled their eyes at Lao Jia. Director Zhao joked, "Lao Jia, isn't Xiao Wan still in her first year of high school? What, you're already acting like you're holding a grandson?"
That's right, Old Jia's daughter is indeed still in her first year of high school. Old Jia smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually, look at you all, what kind of eyes do you have?"
