Chapter 961: Chapter 958: Supreme SVIP of the Prison Cell
"Took... took a cab and ran away!?"
Zhang Lin couldn’t understand the fox language of Earring Fox like Ah Qing and the others could, but Master Fuli had just narrated it personally, so Zhang Lin fully understood.
But it was precisely because she understood that she was momentarily stunned, with a shocked expression, as if struck by lightning, standing there with a look of bewilderment.
As soon as Earring Fox spoke, the entire meeting room plunged into an eerie silence.
Everyone spontaneously showed strange expressions on their faces, looking at Master Fuli sitting crouched on the table.
The little fox’s parents took a cab and ran away...
At first glance, it seemed a bit absurd, but considering the little fox could farm, brew tea, and swept the tea competition, earning the title of Tea Fox, the bizarre deeds of his parents seemed to make sense...
Otherwise, it would be unlikely to produce such an extraordinary fox like Huhu.
"Ying! Yingying...."
Seeing everyone silent, Earring Fox thought they didn’t believe what she said and thought she was making it up, so she waved her paws to supplement the details.
She had seen it with her own eyes, how Whitie’s dad leapt like a fox into the iron box, and after a strong shake of the carriage, Whitie’s dad came out clutching a big piece of meat.
A few days later, Whitie’s mom also made a seemingly graceful leap into the car and grabbed a big pig knuckle.
Earring Fox had tried to imitate them, but the car window closed quickly, and she bumped her forehead on the glass.
Because of almost getting a crooked nose, Earring Fox had a deep impression of this incident.
However.
Earring Fox had never mentioned this to Master Fuli.
First, they didn’t live on the same mountain, and they didn’t meet every day, only chatting for a while when they ran into each other while begging for food.
Second, with Fox Huhu living independently, and fox cubs capable of independent living, looking for their parents would be futile, so Earring Fox naturally wouldn’t intentionally mention these things.
After all... once a fox grows up, they can’t turn to their parents for food anymore and would be beaten out if they tried to step into the house again.
If Whitie’s parents were wealthy and powerful, saying so might make Whitie depressed to the point of throwing up blood.
"Were they being constantly fed?"
"I was just thinking, how could Fox Mother be so fat? Several times, she almost flattened my solo transmission into a fox pancake."
Ansheng complained with a black line appearing on his forehead.
Earring Fox was a bit clumsy and couldn’t get the timeline straight when describing the scenes.
The entire process should be that Fox Father and Fox Mother were similar to herself, living off of their cuteness.
After giving birth to her, they found a gullible human downstream to rely on for food through acting cute, getting generous and fresh supplies regularly.
Then, once she could live independently, Fox Dad and Fox Mom took a cab and left.
"... All that searching, only to find the wrong lead!" Zhang Lin sat back in her chair, wearing a look of helpless amusement.
That makes sense; to have parents who could birth Master Fuli could not be common foxes.
His parents took a cab out of the mountains, and the son was not simple either, heading straight to the train station and catching a green agricultural train southward.
Quite likely, the parents of Master Fuli belong to highly spiritualized foxes.
Relevant Spirit Beast archives are top-secret within the Security Bureau; even if the data is accessed, critical and other Spirit Beast sections will be redacted for confidentiality.
Due to the complexity involving Master Fuli’s parents, Zhang Lin had reviewed Master Fuli’s full archive and knew some events from his past.
"Help me check! See what their current living conditions and treatment are like...."
Ansheng shook his head lightly, knowing that with the cautious and timid nature of foxes, if they couldn’t fully trust Fox Father and Fox Mother, they wouldn’t have left with someone.
Foxes have sensitive noses and can detect human emotional pheromone scents during mood swings.
But... human hearts are unpredictable, and city life isn’t as straightforward as life in the woods.
Now that the Security Bureau is involved, let them see through the entire process to ensure no accidents occur.
"Naturally, regarding Master Fuli, this isn’t an ordinary case but a national affair." Zhang Lin immediately agreed, and the matter wouldn’t conclude until Master Fuli’s parents were found.
Master Fuli, although he doesn’t exercise power, is classified under "National Level" treatment in status.
With a clear direction, the Security Bureau will coordinate with multiple departments to solve the case as quickly as possible, regardless of any collateral impact.
"I’m wronged, sir... no, no, I’m truly wronged, comrade!"
"I didn’t commit treason; I love my country, and I’m really willing to shed my blood for it."
"Look, give me a gun, and I’ll sneak into America tonight to take out their leader to prove my loyalty...."
From the corridor outside the meeting room came a wretched cry and a male voice full of fear.
"Director Zhang, the offender Tao Qing has been taken to..." Members of the logistics support team, dragging their limp legs and pale-faced, brought the personnel involved in the case into the meeting room.
The team members saluted, placed a square medical box on the table, and exited, closing the door.
As for whether there could be a security risk by throwing the criminal into the room.
This was not something within their considerations.
Among the three managers of the Imperial Capital Security Bureau, Director Zhang managed spiritual particle crimes. Although not on the level of honorary professors and school principals in strength, he was a top contender at the Guardian Level.
"I was wrong, truly wrong... I’ll do whatever you say, just don’t lock me up." Tao Qing was deathly pale and couldn’t stand, collapsing on the floor, trying everything to get away from the long table.
He had no idea what he had done wrong, nor which department had arrested him.
But Tao Qing knew one thing.
The criminals imprisoned with him, the older brother on the left had committed treason, seemingly trying to sell military secrets.
The big brother on the right had committed war crimes, and the sister across was on a much larger scale, charged with crimes against humanity.
Reportedly, she had colluded with overseas forces during the Rakshasa Country, secretly extracting spinal fluid from children to refine strange chemical agents...
Everyone in that cell was on death row.
As soon as Tao Qing learned about these things, he collapsed on the ground in fear.
Other inmates initially were curious about what crime this greasy Old Deng had committed.
But once they realized Tao Qing didn’t know the crime that landed him in death row.
The other criminals shunned him with horrified expressions as if afraid of being splashed with blood.
The Security Bureau’s arrests always happened with evidence, leaving no room for suspects.
In the Security Bureau, a criminal had only two options: life or death.
If there was no trial, interrogation, or conviction, it meant the Security Bureau was preparing for medical intervention.
Before obtaining the needed intelligence, the Security Bureau would not relent.
Further stripping away citizenship rights, revoking nationality and human rights, thoroughly removing any humanitarian concepts from criminals.
In the cell, as soon as Tao Qing spoke, the other death row inmates, beyond their fear, started calling him boss.
In that cell, his penalty was the most severe, making him the supreme VIP among them.
Tao Qing claimed he could single-handedly destroy a country, and after hesitating for a moment, the other condemned inmates would likely believe him.
There was no choice; the Security Bureau’s authority was too overarching.
"What country are you from?"
Ansheng glanced at Ah Qing and the others before turning his gaze to Tao Qing and asked.
"Xia Country, pure and honest for generations, my only crime involved pornography....." Tao Qing, seeing the fox speak, didn’t show a shocked expression and quickly responded.
During his time as the "boss" over these days, he had learned about Spirit Beasts from the inmates.
He vaguely guessed he might be implicated in the crime of selling national strategic resources.
