"Surrender?" Countless question marks surfaced in Yu Guang's mind.
As for Shen Yuchi and the upper echelons of the bureau, who were watching all of this from the surveillance cameras, their expressions turned odd.
At this point in time, only an idiot would believe Zhou Wen when he said that he wanted to surrender himself. If he really wanted to surrender, he should have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now?
"Director-General, what should we do?" Yu Guang whispered to Shen Yuchi through the communicator.
"Director-General, we mustn't let Zhou Wen in. This must be a scheme of his to topple our bureau," a director immediately reminded.
"That's right. That Zhou Wen can't enter Sky Pass, so he wants to use such a method to sneak in. He definitely wants to kill us. We can't let him in."
"Director-General, Zhou Wen is Wang Mingyuan's disciple. We have to be wary of him!"
The upper echelons of the bureau were surprisingly unanimous. They definitely couldn't let Zhou Wen in.
Ordinary people might not know how terrifying Zhou Wen was, but what kind of place was the bureau? It was where the Federation's eyes and ears were. They knew Zhou Wen better than anyone else.
It could be said that Zhou Wen's file was one of the highest in the Federation. It was on par with Jing Daoxian, Wang Mingyuan, and a few others. Even the Federation's Senators didn't have files as confidential as Zhou Wen's.
They knew very well how terrifying Zhou Wen was. The information from the investigations was shocking. Anyone who read the information would no longer treat him as a college student who had yet to graduate unless their brains were damaged.
Shen Yuchi was naturally the one who knew Zhou Wen the best in the bureau, so he felt a headache coming on.
Shen Yuchi naturally didn't believe a word about surrendering himself. However, would Zhou Wen leave so easily since he was already at the bureau?
"Let's hold him down first and find out what he's up to." Shen Yuchi ordered Yu Guang. He knew that escaping was definitely not a solution. He had to think of a way to resolve the problem.
Tang Zhizhong was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Zhou Wen was actually a wanted criminal of the bureau. Furthermore, he was the kind that had a screw loose and wanted to surrender himself.
Who didn't know that the bureau was unreasonable? As long as one's brain wasn't damaged, they wouldn't come here to surrender. Even if they really felt guilty and chose to commit suicide to atone for their sins, they wouldn't come here to surrender.
I'm doomed. I'm doomed. I actually believed a lunatic's words. I even got someone to send me a space suit. Isn't this just asking for trouble? Tang Zhizhong was already a little afraid.
The bureau was already determined to breach the contract. Now, if they found an excuse to arrest him and this lunatic, he would probably lose his life, much less his money.
Just as Tang Zhizhong was feeling terrified, he heard Yu Guang speak from above the city gate.
Tang Zhizhong was no stranger to Yu Guang. He was one of the four Censors of the bureau. Apart from the deceased Cai Jin, he was the most senior.
Furthermore, Yu Guang was the head of the General Affairs Department. All sorts of matters in the bureau had to go through him.
The spacesuit matter also needed to go through Yu Guang. However, Yu Guang was only responsible for the final decision. There were still layers of officials below him. Tang Zhizhong had no chance to personally discuss this matter with Yu Guang.
He had come a few times previously, hoping to meet Yu Guang to clarify the matter regarding the space suit. However, Yu Guang didn't see him at all. He only got Tang Zhizhong to discuss it with the officials below.
Yu Guang also had a nickname — Cold-Faced Hades. From this nickname, one could tell what kind of person he usually was.
"I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding. Our bureau has never had a warrant for you. You aren't our criminal either." Yu Guang paused for a moment before continuing, "I've heard a little about you. You're a good student with excellent character and studies. You're humble and sincere, and you've contributed a lot to our Federation. What do you mean by turning yourself in?"
Tang Zhizhong listened to Yu Guang's words and looked at his kind face. He almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person.
Is this really Cold-Faced Hades, Yu Guang? Tang Zhizhong sized up Yu Guang again and again to confirm that he hadn't seen the wrong person. It was indeed Cold-Faced Hades.
"There's no misunderstanding. I'm guilty. I feel bad and want to surrender to atone for my crimes," Zhou Wen said with a serious expression.
"See that? This fellow is just looking for trouble. He wants to enter Sky Pass and kill us. We definitely can't let him in," a director shouted in the office.
"Yu Guang, figure out why he's here." Shen Yuchi frowned slightly, but he didn't panic.
The world's best pass wasn't for nothing. No matter how strong Zhou Wen was, it was impossible for him to forcefully barge into Sky Pass.
It's over. It's over. It's not easy for Cold-Faced Hades to show his kindness and say something sensible. This punk actually wants to court death! Tang Zhizhong's expression was ashen. He felt that Yu Guang definitely wouldn't let him off once Zhou Wen said that. He would arrest him first before deciding whether he was guilty or not.
However, to his surprise, Yu Guang's expression turned even friendlier. His smile turned even friendlier. "The bureau isn't a law enforcement agency. If you really want to surrender, you should go to the police station. However, I know your character. You're a promising youth, a future pillar of the Federation. You're not the kind of person who commits crimes. Are you in some kind of trouble? If you have any difficulties, tell our bureau. The bureau is a department of the Federation. We have the obligation to resolve the problems of the Federation's citizens … "
Tang Zhizhong was in a daze when he heard that, feeling as though he was dreaming.
The bureau isn't a law enforcement agency? It has the obligation to resolve the problems of the Federation's citizens? Is this still the bureau I know? Is this still the Cold-Faced Hades I know, Yu Guang? Tang Zhizhong suddenly realized that the young man in front of him might not be a lunatic.
Just as Yu Guang was trying his best to persuade him, trucks drove over from afar. It was the people from Tang Zhizhong's company who had transported the space suits over.
The speed of the trucks was very fast. Soon, a row of trucks stopped not far from Tang Zhizhong.
A middle-aged man jumped out of the car impatiently. As he ran towards Tang Zhizhong, he asked loudly, "Old Tang, what's going on? Is the bureau willing to accept our batch of goods? After you informed them, I transported the goods as quickly as possible. How do we do the handover? "
"No, the bureau didn't agree to accept our goods," Tang Zhizhong said as though.
"They didn't agree to accept our goods? Then why did you get us to transport the goods over? "Many of the factory's employees got out of the cars and surrounded Tang Zhizhong.
They were all counting on their salaries to support their families after this batch of goods was sold.
"This Mr. Zhou said that he can get the bureau to accept our goods," Tang Zhizhong said as he pointed at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression.
"He's from the bureau?" Everyone looked at Zhou Wen in disbelief when they saw how young he was.
"No … No … He's a criminal who wants to surrender himself …" As Tang Zhizhong spoke, his expression turned even odder.
