The subordinate, not understanding, still provided Fu Yan Ting with the list of people on duty during that period.
When Fu Yan Ting saw the names on the list, his brows furrowed.
The subordinate didn't know if there was something wrong with the list.
The subordinate tried to explain, "Boss Fu, is there something wrong with this list?"
Fu Yan Ting ignored him, and instead asked, "Are you sure the person guarding Han Ming Xuan yesterday was him?"
"Yes, Boss Fu. It was Little Zhang who watched Han Ming Xuan yesterday. When he came, he even joked with me, telling me to call him a nouveau riche from now on, because his family had been demolished."
Little Zhang was Zhang Cheng from their International Special Police department.
Zhang Cheng was an honest person, from a rural background. Over the years, with Fu Yan Ting's help, he had handled many cases and was well-liked at the International Special Police headquarters. Was he the traitor who let Han Ming Xuan go?
To be honest, Fu Yan Ting didn't believe he would do such a thing.
Fu Yan Ting looked at the names on the list for a long time before he finally said, "Have Zhang Cheng come to my office."
The subordinate, not knowing what was happening, went to call Zhang Cheng.
Shortly after, Zhang Cheng appeared in Fu Yan Ting's office. Compared to the respectful attitude of others towards Fu Yan Ting, Zhang Cheng appeared much more at ease.
He didn't call Fu Yan Ting "Boss Fu" like others.
He still had a nonchalant demeanor and said to Fu Yan Ting, "Big Brother, what do you need me for?"
After speaking, he didn't forget to show off, "Big Brother, I still have a big basket of free-range eggs. My mom prepared them for me. You know, I'm a single dog, it's a waste for me to eat them. You can take them back for your sister-in-law."
Fu Yan Ting did not reply.
Zhang Cheng spoke again, "I'm not charging you. You know, my house was demolished, and I'm different now. I'm a nouveau riche. Big Brother, you've taken care of me a lot in the past. When it's time for me to pay in the future, don't be so polite with me."
"Alright."
Fu Yan Ting suddenly spoke, not declining as he usually did, but agreeing with a single word.
Zhang Cheng thought he had misheard, but when he heard Fu Yan Ting's answer, his heart was filled with excitement. Fu Yan Ting was finally not finding excuses to give him money.
Although Fu Yan Ting was protecting his pride, Zhang Cheng felt that over the years, Fu Yan Ting had provided for his food and clothing. He truly felt indebted to Fu Yan Ting.
Rural people are naturally honest and upright.
Therefore, after Zhang Cheng's family house was demolished and he received the demolition compensation, he clearly understood that his small amount of money was nothing to brag about in front of Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting's one minute of work was worth more than his demolition compensation.
However, he also truly wanted to give Fu Yan Ting something with his own ability.
He couldn't humiliate Fu Yan Ting, and he had to make Fu Yan Ting accept it. So, he instructed his mother in his rural hometown to prepare hundreds of free-range eggs for Fu Yan Ting.
These things were actually quite normal in Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
But looking at Zhang Cheng's expression, Fu Yan Ting couldn't refuse and finally agreed to accept the eggs.
The gift was accepted, but getting back to the point, Fu Yan Ting had not forgotten the purpose of summoning Zhang Cheng today.
Fu Yan Ting sized up Zhang Cheng and asked, "It was your shift last night, wasn't it?"
"Yes, Big Brother. I'm telling you, I didn't sleep all night watching that scoundrel Han Ming Xuan, but I didn't expect him to escape."
Zhang Cheng's voice grew softer as he spoke, seeming to sense the disappointment in Fu Yan Ting's eyes.
Zhang Cheng seemed to suddenly recall something and said, "I remember. The newly arrived Han Yi came to see Han Ming Xuan yesterday. He said I was useless, that I couldn't even get a confession out of someone, and that I deserved to be a petty special police officer my whole life. He said that if I hadn't fawned over you, I wouldn't even have a job. He said he would interrogate him and guarantee that Han Ming Xuan would confess everything. But after he finished, less than two minutes after he left, Han Ming Xuan said he had to go to the toilet because he was in urgent need, and then he never came back."
Han Yi was a distant relative of Han Ming Xuan.
Fu Yan Ting knew this very well.
When Han Yi came for the interview, Han Ming Xuan pretended not to know him, but Han Yi didn't understand Han Ming Xuan's suggestive look at first. However, Fu Yan Ting caught it. Fu Yan Ting secretly investigated Han Yi and Han Ming Xuan.
However, since the two of them didn't make much of a fuss, Fu Yan Ting had turned a blind eye.
Now, Fu Yan Ting never expected that the two people he had indulged back then were actually in cahoots and were now bullying him.
Zhang Cheng had always been protected by Fu Yan Ting. Han Yi's actions undoubtedly showed no respect for Fu Yan Ting.
If it weren't for the support of that mysterious organization behind him, he would never dare to do this.
Thinking of this, Fu Yan Ting's eyes turned cold.
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting was angry, Zhang Cheng thought he had angered him and quickly explained, "Big Brother, I really didn't betray you. If I betrayed you, may lightning strike me and may I die a horrible death."
"I know. This is not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself here."
After Fu Yan Ting finished speaking, his gaze towards Zhang Cheng warmed slightly. Zhang Cheng knew that Fu Yan Ting wasn't deliberately targeting him, but the look Fu Yan Ting had just given him was truly terrifying. He didn't know if Fu Yan Ting was utterly disappointed in him to show such an expression.
Before Zhang Cheng could recover, Fu Yan Ting said faintly, "Go and call Han Yi here. I have something to say to him."
Zhang Cheng nodded and left Fu Yan Ting's office. Soon after, Han Yi arrived. Seeing Fu Yan Ting, Han Yi asked, "Boss Fu, do you need me for something?"
Although Han Yi called Fu Yan Ting "Boss Fu," he looked at Fu Yan Ting without any fear, not treating Fu Yan Ting as his superior at all.
His tone of speech was also extremely perfunctory.
Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but narrow his eyes and size up Han Yi.
Fu Yan Ting was usually busy with work and didn't spend much time at the International Criminal Police headquarters, so he didn't have a deep understanding of Han Yi. He really didn't know that Han Yi was so unruly. He only hoped that after he finished speaking, Han Yi would still be so unruly.
"Han Yi, I heard you came to see Han Ming Xuan yesterday?"
As expected, Han Yi's expression changed drastically when he heard Fu Yan Ting's words.
Han Yi didn't know how Fu Yan Ting knew about this, but since Fu Yan Ting already knew, this was definitely not good news for Han Yi.
Han Yi stared intently at Fu Yan Ting, trying to gauge his emotions.
