"No matter how much you say, you can't change the fact that Xiao Luo killed people. If even a murderer can get away with it and doesn't have to be tried by the court, then what's the use of the law? What's the use of us police officers? "
"First, there's the country and the people, then there's the law. If even the country doesn't exist, even the basic life of the people can't be guaranteed. What's the point of the law?"
"Ridiculous, Dad, I think you're getting more and more confused!"
"I'm not getting more and more confused, but I see things deeper and more clearly. There are many things that the police can't handle. This world is much more complicated than you think. The reason why you can enjoy peace and prosperity is because many people have made sacrifices. They silently protect this country. They have no honor, no medals, and even their names are blank. But their contributions are huge and cannot be erased."
"Are you going to tell me that Xiao Luo is such a person?"
"Yes, he is such a person. For you, he is a criminal who violated the law, but for the country and the entire Chinese people, he is the most praiseworthy hero."
Zhang Gu and Gu Qianlin argued about Xiao Luo until their faces turned red. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other.
Fan Changlong coughed dryly and tried to smooth things over. "Old leader, Captain Gu, calm down. Don't destroy the relationship between you and your daughter because of an outsider!"
"Fan Changlong, don't play Tai Chi here!"
Zhang Gu's mood rose, and his temper was also quite irritable. "I, as the supreme commander of the NSA, will protect Xiao Luo. Whoever dares to touch him will be dealt with as a crime of treason."
Hiss …
Fan Changlong sucked in a breath of cold air. This old leader was obviously serious. The NSA was directly under the jurisdiction of the central government. Not to mention that he was the director of the city bureau, even the leaders of the provincial and provincial party committees had no right to interfere with the actions of the NSA.
"Do we, the NSA, need to discuss our actions with them?" Zhang Gu shouted in a loud voice.
Two NSA members in suits responded in unison, "No need!"
Gu Zhanguo glanced at Fan Changlong and Gu Qianlin, then snorted and turned to leave with his hands behind his back. He used his strong attitude to tell Fan Changlong and Gu Qianlin that Xiao Luo was a member of the NSA. Whoever dared to touch her would be destroyed!
"The old leader's temper is still so irritable. I didn't say that I didn't agree, sigh …"
Fan Changlong smiled bitterly and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't want to give up until he reached the Yellow River. He wanted the old leader to use his NSA identity to pressure people. This matter offended the old leader, and in the end, he still had to let Xiao Luo go.
"My dad is confused. Xiao Luo must be judged by the law!"
How could Gu Qianlin be reconciled? In the underground parking lot, Xiao Luo brutally killed He Ruanliang in front of her. She often dreamed of that scene. It was a hurdle in her heart. If she didn't bring Xiao Luo to justice, she would never be able to get over it. Furthermore, punishing criminals was the right thing to do. What was wrong with that?
"We can't do anything about it." Fan Changlong sighed deeply.
Gu Qianlin asked anxiously, "Why can't you do anything about it?"
"The old leader's next step should be to make Xiao Luo a member of the NSA. As the old leader just said, the NSA doesn't need to discuss their actions with us. Similarly, the members of the NSA are not people that we, the police, can control," Fan Changlong said.
"How can my dad do this? He is shielding a criminal. No, I must appeal. Even if I have to go to Huajing, I must stop him from making a mistake." Gu Qianlin gritted his teeth.
"Calm down. No department has the authority to interfere with the NSA's matters."
Fan Changlong patted Gu Qianlin's shoulder, hoping that she would calm down. "The old leader is so strong and determined to protect Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo must have another identity that no one knows, and this identity is related to national security. In the old leader's eyes, national security is more important than anything else. We must make concessions."
Gu Qianlin's values had suffered a blow. She began to feel that the world was strange. Ever since she became a police officer, she had been fighting crime. She had always believed in the truth that criminals must be punished by the law. Now that these things were collapsing, she could not accept it for a while.
"I can't accept it. Why can Xiao Luo get away with killing people? Then what is the justice that I uphold? National security is more important than anything else. In the face of national security, can murder be forgiven? Am I too paranoid, or have the values of this world been distorted? "
She shouted at Fan Changlong, her eyes red. Originally, meeting her father was a happy thing, but this father had destroyed the understanding that she had built up since she was a child in an instant. If even murder could be forgiven, what else could not be forgiven?
"Qianlin, don't be like this. We are still the representatives of justice. It's just that the NSA is a department of national security, not under our jurisdiction." Ye Wensong comforted her.
Fan Changlong just sighed helplessly. His heart couldn't calm down for a day or two after letting go of a person who killed so cruelly.
…
…
Xiao Luo didn't know how long he had been in a coma. When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed. The sunlight shining in through the window was particularly dazzling.
After his vision became clear, he only saw a middle-aged man with white hair sitting on a stool next to him, holding a fruit knife in his hand and peeling an apple.
"You're awake!" Zhang Gu said with a smile.
"You are?"
Xiao Luo was very sure that he didn't know this middle-aged man.
"Zhang Gu, the supreme commander of the National Security Administration (NSA)."
Zhang Gu introduced himself very generously, then smiled and asked Xiao Luo, "What about you? Should I call you Mie, or should I call you Xiao Luo? "
Xiao Luo's eyes widened slightly. As soon as he heard the name "Mie," and connected it to Bai Ling, he had a rough idea of what was going on. BaiLing had cracked his IP address, and BaiLing had always been secretly monitored by the NSA. That was how the NSA was able to find him.
Things were that simple, but he couldn't believe that BaiLing was actually Bai Ling.
BaiLing, Bai Ling, he should have thought of it earlier!
"Is there something you need from me, Director Gu?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Gu handed the peeled apple to Xiao Luo and smiled. "I came to Jiangcheng to protect you!"
"Protect me?" Xiao Luo was surprised.
"Yes, protect you," Zhang Gu said with certainty.
"I killed people, and I killed a lot of people," Xiao Luo reminded him with a hint of playfulness.
"I know, but you are Mie!"
