Beauty and the Bodyguard - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: CH131

Song Lingshan thought about it- it was true, there was that case where the culprit was on the loose for a couple of months before they’d apprehended him.

“So captain, what you’re trying to say is……” Lingshan asked, still a little confused.

“Don’t rush the case- you can wait a bit for the suspect to let his guard down.” Huaijun explained. “It’s no use just rushing it, right.”

“Um…… But captain, I told Director Chen that I’d have the suspect in ten days……” Lingshan said, regretting what she’d done- she’d never have said something like that to the director if she’d considered the complications in the case.

“Ah, is that so……” Huaijun said, a little speechless. Song Lingshan was quite brave- even Huaijun himself wouldn’t have claimed something like that…… After all, the case this time around was more complicated than just a typical bank robbery: there was more to it than met the eye.

After all, who was Chu Pengzhan?

A provincial CCPCC member, a celebrity entrepreneur in the state…… He had connections spread far and wide, with intimate ties to the Chen House from the military- the mastermind behind the kidnapping had to have quite a background to dare touch that man’s daughter! People avoided crossing Chu Pengzhan, meaning that those directly targeting him had to be of a higher level, a level where even Huaijun’s own Yang family would think twice so as to avoid confrontation. The case was simply a difficult one……

“Song, maybe you shouldn’t have said that; it might’ve been a bit rushed……” Huaijun said. He didn’t want to rub it in her face or anything, but he had to make the situation clear to Lingshan, so as to prepare her for what was to come. “You should know yourself what kind of people we’re dealing with here- they dared to touch Chu Pengzhan’s daughter, you know. Those suspects we’re after are just a couple of pawns, they’re not the problem; the problem here is the people backing them up! It’ll be really hard to get ahold of the suspects, at least until they lose the support the higher ups are giving them. Wait for things to blow over- they’ll be easy to locate after that happens.”

Lingshan was a bit of a reckless woman, but she was no idiot- the sense in Huaijun’s words was clear to her, and she understood the grave mistake of her declaration. The director would’ve most likely understood the circumstances if she’d just explained them to him.

But it wasn’t quite appropriate for her to just go back and renounce her claim- there was no turning back now.

“Captain, so what do I do now……?” Lingshan didn’t want to stop midway. The director wouldn’t do anything too drastic to her for breaking her word, but it was a certainty that she’d suffer a hit to her reputation in the department……

“Listen to me if you want the case solved- ask Lin Yi about it. You might get something you weren’t expecting.” Huaijun advised. Whether Lin Yi was willing to help Lingshan out, however, was not up for Huaijun to decide.

“Lin Yi? He’ll be able to help me?” Lingshan asked. She’d heard the captain the first time, but she didn’t think much of it…… she had no choice but to take the captain’s words seriously the second time he’d said it- Huaijun wouldn’t say stuff like that without proper reasoning.

“Probably, but it’s not for certain.” Huaijun laughed. “Well, all that depends on whether he actually helps you.”

“I understand. Thanks, captain.” Huaijun had made things clear enough, and there was no point for Lingshan to say anything else. She hung the phone up with a frown on her forehead.
