After all, Xiao Chen could even easily defeat a consummate venerable like the Jia Clan Master. Would Sect Leader Situ also be helpless against him?
However, Qi Tian Sect was really too much! How could they use living humans as experiments? Those people should have beautiful lives and families waiting for them to return home. How could they use those free people as tools just for their own selfish reasons? When did the sect that she had always trusted become cold-blooded demons that disregarded their own lives?
As she thought about it, Xing Xue felt that her brain was a mess. She could no longer tell right from wrong. She sighed and stopped her thoughts. She closed her eyes, calmed her heart, and fell into a deep sleep …
Tian Fang Province, Supernatural Investigation Department Headquarters.
Ling Tian sat in his office and read through a stack of reports for a long time. His expression was extremely serious.
After throwing the documents on the table, Ling Tian picked up his phone and told his secretary to gather a few deputy bureau chiefs for an emergency meeting.
Five minutes later, Xia Zhili, Song Bilian, and a few other deputy bureau chiefs arrived at the meeting room and waited patiently.
After a while, Ling Tian walked in with a stack of documents. He asked his secretary to distribute the documents to everyone else while he sat down at the head of the table. He picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip. After everyone had finished reading the documents, he prepared to give out the orders.
"Bureau Chief Ling, it seems like Xiao Chen hasn't attended a meeting for a long time already. Furthermore, I don't think I've seen him come to work before! According to the regulations, this should be considered absenteeism, right? Shouldn't we discuss whether we can fire him? "Before Ling Tian could say anything, Song Bilian suddenly pointed at an empty seat and frowned.
That seat was originally reserved for Xiao Chen. However, ever since he went to the research institute to escort the documents, he hadn't returned to work at the Supernatural Investigation Department.
However, Ling Tian didn't remove him from his position as a deputy bureau chief. Thus, that seat had been empty for a long time and no one else could replace it.
"Xiao Chen has been sent on a secret mission and won't be back for a while. If you don't have any other questions, let's start today's meeting!" Ling Tian looked at Song Bilian and said coldly.
"Wait!" Song Bilian's face darkened. He stood up abruptly and asked word by word, "Director Ling, what secret mission is Xiao Chen carrying out? If you don't make things clear today, I think he's been absent for a long time! As the Deputy Bureau Chief, he doesn't come to work all year round. The Investigation Bureau should dismiss him and fire him! "
"I've already said that Xiao Chen is currently on a secret mission! You've been in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau for so many years, so you should be familiar with the relevant confidentiality regulations, right? Do you think it's appropriate for you to question him in public? Vice Bureau Chief Song! "Ling Tian said angrily.
He deliberately emphasized the words "Deputy Bureau Chief Song" because he wanted Song Bilian to be aware of his status. He didn't have the right to ask every question in public.
"Hehe, that's strange. Of course I know the confidentiality regulations. I can almost memorize them!" Song Bilian sneered and retorted word by word, "Since you want to make a fuss about the confidentiality regulations, then I would like to consult the acting bureau chief!"
"I don't dare to say that. Just say it!" Ling Tian's expression was a little stiff. Song Bilian's mockery was too obvious. He also said the last few words loudly, purposely pointing out that he was only a second-in-command! This brat is really shameless!
"Among the people here, there aren't any low-ranking employees. They are all the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau and have the right to know the situation! Why aren't you willing to say where Xiao Chen went? Are you purposely protecting him? " Song Bilian wanted this kind of effect. He immediately asked, not wanting to be outdone. He didn't even bother to use honorifics.
Xia Zhili, who was sitting on the other side, glared at Song Bilian. He was very unhappy. After all, Xiao Chen used to be his subordinate. Although he was now the Deputy Bureau Chief, he was still on his side!
Now that an outsider like Song Bilian was pointing fingers at Xiao Chen, how could he tolerate it?
Ling Tian rapped his knuckles on the table, staring at Song Bilian as he slowly said, "Even though I'm only the acting director, I still have the authority to control the entire Secret Investigation Department. This includes the authority to assign any member to any mission without informing anyone else. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
At this moment, Ling Tian was already secretly angry. He was very dissatisfied with Song Bilian's mocking attitude. However, in front of everyone, he suppressed his anger and didn't reveal it.
"This logic, I have never heard of it before! I wonder which section of the confidentiality regulations it is? I can go and look through it! "Song Bilian didn't back down as he pinched his nose and said sarcastically.
This time, Ling Tian wasn't angry anymore. With a faint smile, he said sarcastically, "Forget it, you are only a Deputy Bureau Chief after all. I won't blame you. If you have the chance to become the bureau chief in the future, you will naturally understand this logic."
"Ling Tian! Stop making sarcastic remarks over there! "Song Bilian's face turned red from the sarcasm as he roared back.
However, Ling Tian didn't even bother with him. Instead, he slowly picked up his teacup from the table and took a sip. His expression was as content as one could imagine.
Song Bilian suddenly calmed down as he said with a smile, "From what I know, you once sent Xiao Chen to protect your granddaughter? I don't think this is within your scope of responsibility, right? Regardless of whether it is the bureau chief or the acting bureau chief, no one can abuse their authority! This doesn't seem too appropriate. Acting bureau chief, I wonder if you can give me a reasonable explanation? "
Song Bilian had also found out about this matter by accident. Now was the perfect time to deal a blow to Ling Tian!
Because Xiao Chen had made things difficult for Song Bilian when he was still in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, Song Bilian had always harbored a grudge against him. He always wanted to find an excuse to kick Xiao Chen out of the bureau!
However, for some reason, Ling Tian seemed to have eaten the wrong medicine and would often cover for him, acting as the old hen in front of him! As a result, Song Bilian bore a grudge against the both of them. Now that he had finally found an opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it go so easily!
"Pa!"
"Explain your head!" Ling Tian's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to flare up, Xia Zhili couldn't take it anymore as he slammed the table heavily and scolded, "Song Bilian, why don't you take a look at what kind of bullsh * t status you have? Why do I have to tell you everything? Even if I don't tell you, what can you do? You're really a f * cking idiot. You don't know anything and only know how to spout nonsense! "
