Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Let Us Go
"Sir, C City is just ahead."
"This security mission was a request for headquarters’ assistance from the C City branch. First, we’ll go to their office to debrief. After that, find a place to rest up. Once you’re ready, you can head back to B City."
Ever since the mission ended, Lu Cheng had been wishing he could just fly back to headquarters, hand over the report, and rush home. But some things on the journey just couldn’t be rushed.
"Yes, sir. I’ll go arrange it now."
"Let’s go. To the branch office."
"Yes, sir."
Lu Cheng arrived at the company’s C City branch and met directly with the branch director to report on the mission.
Lu Cheng’s team had done the C City branch a huge favor with this mission, so the branch director’s attitude toward him was exceptionally warm.
"Mr. Lu, you’ve all worked hard. We really owe you for this mission!"
"You’re too kind, Director. Since the mission has been fully debriefed, we’ll be taking our leave now."
"I was hoping to give you a proper reception, but I can see you’re in a hurry to get back to headquarters, so I won’t delay you. I’ll see you out."
As someone who had made it to the position of branch director, his judgment was naturally sharp. He could tell that Lu Cheng had no intention of staying long.
Although he was currently just a group leader, the director could tell that with time, this Mr. Lu would certainly go on to do great things.
Therefore, a person like that was someone to befriend, not offend.
As the branch director was speaking, he began to escort Lu Cheng and his team toward the door. But just as he opened his office door, someone came running straight toward him.
"Director, we just received a report! A human trafficking ring with several dozen members has been discovered on a train heading to B City. The train will arrive at C City Station in twenty minutes. The gang plans to get off and move their victims here. The railway police on board sent out a request for assistance!"
"Shouldn’t this have been reported to the police department?"
"The police department is temporarily short-staffed, so they’re hoping our C City branch’s security personnel can go and assist."
Hearing this, the branch director forgot all about seeing Lu Cheng and his team out. He immediately walked over to the person who had given the report.
"Immediately arrange for personnel to head to the train station and assist."
"Director, all our branch’s teams are already deployed. It’ll be difficult to recall them in such a short time, and we don’t know if we’ll have enough people."
"This..."
’A trafficking case this big... if our security company could help, it would definitely be a good thing for us. But if we screw up and let the traffickers escape, it would be a massive failure.’
Just as he was struggling with the decision, the director suddenly heard a voice that, to him, sounded like a gift from the heavens.
"Director, let my team help with this!"
Lu Cheng had overheard the entire situation. If he hadn’t known, that would be one thing, but now that he did, he couldn’t just stand by and watch children be trafficked right under his nose.
Since the C City branch was short on manpower and his team just happened to be here, they had to do what they could to help.
This just meant his return would have to be delayed.
’But Lu Cheng was confident that Shen Nian would understand!’
"Wonderful! In that case, Mr. Lu, you will command this operation. All the personnel our branch can spare are at your disposal!"
