Ch 91 - Blow It Up

Huang Ting suddenly turned pale upon hearing this. Xiao Yujun said in shock, "It's because of that? But didn't all that happen a long time ago?"

"It was handed over to the City Bureau." Huang Ting said.

Yu Hao remembered it now too and wondered, "I forgot all about it! Didn't you say before that the police had found a clue?"

"And what's your intel?"

Zhou Sheng leaned back in his chair and swayed back and forth. "Why is it that after casually mentioning that there was a clue, there was no follow-up afterwards? Officer Huang, that's unreasonable ba."

Huang Ting stared at Zhou Sheng, "This has nothing to do with you guys."

"Of course it does!" Zhou Sheng looked at Huang Ting as if he didn't know him. "We were the ones who picked up the money, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to inform us of the follow-up!"

Huang Ting frowned deeply and got up to smoke. Xiao Yujun said, "Smoke right here, explain it clearly to me."

Zhou Sheng continued, "That's also something that you 'can't say', right? Pressure from the top's pretty heavy ma."

Huang Ting said, "Because we can't act rashly and alert the snake."

"And where's the snake?" Zhou Sheng said, "The snake probably can't be found anymore ba? Lost your trail of clues?"

Huang Ting and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, but Zhou Sheng didn't flinch at all. He continued, "Who would sink more than a million yuan into the reservoir? Aside from it being stolen money, could it be anything else? I don't think so. What kind of influence could get the Public Security System to rest a case concerning that much money? And to stop investigating it? Your superiors issued a death order, right? I've heard that your superintendent's hands aren't very clean, but I don't think he'd dare to take that money."

"Watch what you say, Zhou Sheng." Huang Ting said, "I remember that your father's the boss of Yun Laichun? If rumors heard over the dining table were to spread, your father would get into a lot of trouble."

Yu Hao instantly recalled the time when Zhou Sheng mentioned "that superintendent is bad news" and connected it to the time when Zhou Laichun mentioned "when I saw Huang Jingya previously". That is to say, when Zhou Sheng entered college, Zhou Laichun had taken his son along to have dinner with Huang Baiguang!

Zhou Sheng dismissed it with a laugh.

"Okay, I'll take back the words 'aren't very clean'." Zhou Sheng said calmly, "But, the superintendent doesn't seem particularly persistent, so these words of mine shouldn't be wrong."

"You're very smart, Zhou Sheng." Huang Ting said, "I'm not clear on the specifics, but after we handed it over to the City Bureau, the case became a pending case, and they didn't continue investigating it any further. It's not something I can interfere with. They wouldn't update me on the case progress either."

Yu Hao frowned. It was impossible for Huang Ting to complain about his superiors to them, but his earlier words already implied that the superintendent had pressured them into not investigating the case any further.

"Ok, so what about now?" Huang Ting said.

"Alright then." Zhou Sheng said, "Wifey, let's go home and sleep."

It was rare for Huang Ting to curse, and it was also Yu Hao's first time hearing Huang Ting swear. He almost bowled over laughing. Even Xiao Yujun couldn't endure it and laughed so hard she laid sprawled out on the table.

"What about your intel?!" Huang Ting practically roared, "You actually fished information from Laozi? Zhou Sheng, I've regarded you as a friend in vain!"
