Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 702 What if they just didn't see it?

Old Ge went out today on business and only learned of the emergency when he returned. Fortunately, Zhou Yichen and his men responded in time.

However, he had never heard of anyone wanting to get involved in a Special Branch case. As someone who had been in the business for almost his entire life, Old Ge immediately sensed something was amiss.

Anyone would avoid cases involving their Special Branch, so this was the first time he'd ever seen someone actively get involved.

When he returned and heard his colleagues, who were of the same rank but whom he had never gotten along with, talking about these things with smiles, Old Ge's face darkened horribly.

They immediately turned hostile.

"What does my special operations team's business have to do with you? What gives you the right to agree to let others interfere? If anything goes wrong with my subordinates' work today, you'll be held responsible for it to the death!"

After uttering these harsh words, the elderly man rushed to the hospital in a great hurry.

Before he even entered the ward, he overheard Lu Jianshe using his status to pressure Zhou Yichen, and his temper flared up completely.

Pushing open the door was the start of a merciless counterattack.

The ward suddenly became eerily quiet.

Lu Jianshe's expression darkened when he was publicly named and insulted. His cold gaze met the Grand Secretary's directly. "Elder Ge arrived quickly."

He knew that this old scoundrel had a fiery temper and couldn't tolerate any nonsense, so he asked other members of the Special Branch to make an exception for him, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape him in the end.

"Hmph, you didn't arrive very quickly, otherwise my men would be listening to you by now, right?"

Old Ge disliked people who were two-faced the most, and Lu Jianshe was definitely one of them. He found it annoying to even talk to him, even if Lu was polite to him.

It wasn't that Lu Jianshe had done anything to wrong him; it was purely out of a physiological aversion.

Old Ge himself didn't know why.

Moreover, I heard that the recent incident involving Jia Zhenyan was also caused by the Lu family taking advantage of his status to bully him because he was from out of town. They didn't inform him of this earlier, otherwise they would have definitely made those good-for-nothing rich kids shut down and sent them home, instead of just giving them a light reprimand.

Thinking about this, he looked down on Lu Jianshe even more.

After being repeatedly rebuked, Lu Jianshe could no longer keep up the pretense. He sneered, "What, did I say something wrong? I'm of a higher rank than him, shouldn't he listen to me?"

Since we've already completely broken off relations, let's speak frankly and openly.

"The person I'm going to arrest today is mixed up with the spy you're going to arrest in the same area. Whether this is a coincidence or intentional, let's put that aside for now. But I did send the spy I mistakenly arrested back to you. So, shouldn't your Special Branch give me an explanation?"

Okay, fine, I'll pretend you don't know who's plotting against me, I won't say anything. But I'd like to ask you, what is the meaning of your people repeatedly obstructing my investigation into the truth? Are you trying to hide something?

Old Ge frowned and looked at Zhou Yichen, "What's going on?"

He only rushed over because he heard that someone was interfering in the Special Branch's affairs; he didn't really know the specifics.

What Lu Jianshe said sounds like he's implying that Zhou Yichen deliberately didn't hand the person over.

Zhou Yichen looked directly at Elder Ge and recounted the whole story without any hesitation or evasion. Of course, he still used the same excuse when it came to the parts where he wanted to lie.

"It is true that Yang Zheng is my comrade-in-arms, but I have never shown favoritism. Chief Engineer Huo, as a victim, can also testify to this. It was only after Chu Xin and I arrived later that we were able to completely catch the fish that had slipped through the net."

Before this, he was the one who held off the enemy and prevented them from escaping.

Lu Jianshe didn't believe it and snorted coldly, "It's really strange. My people can catch the spies that the Special Branch is looking for, but the Special Branch's Operations Section personnel, who are so capable, missed the fugitive who was covered in blood and had gunshot wounds."

"Mr. Ge, do you yourself think your elites would make such a blatantly blind mistake?"

These words caused silence to fall again in the room.

Even the usually silent Yang Zheng started to get nervous. Seeing that Zhou Yichen and Chu Xin still looked calm, he couldn't help but slow his breathing and calm his heartbeat.

After a long silence, Old Ge finally spoke, "What if they just didn't see it?"
