Chapter 215: Panic from Su Cheng

Jiang Zhe was somewhat surprised, "No wonder nothing has happened on my end; it turns out you were handling everything behind the scenes?"

Officer Su Cheng replied, "Not exactly. It's that our Su City military rejected the demands from CCVV. The label they tried to pin on you was: spreading false information. But only I and my partners in the military know that your explanations, innovations, and technologies are all real. So, you just need to focus on your own work. The agreement I reached with the military is to secretly handle any unnecessary matters for you without your knowledge, which is why you've been able to live so carefree."

Hearing the voice on speakerphone, Xiao Shiyi and Wang Lin finally felt at ease.

It turned out that it wasn't that nothing was happening, but rather that someone behind the scenes had already resolved the troublesome matters that could have disturbed their peace of mind.

This incident clearly showed that the carefree lives the three of them enjoyed daily were actually managed by someone who had taken care of everything behind the scenes, even without the three of them knowing anything about it.

The military's speed really is fast!

"Oh, that's right. Also, after you handed over the black technology, your file was classified as confidential by our city's military."

"Recently, foreign agents have also been probing for information about your technology. Matters concerning such technology cannot be kept hidden; it is the best technology for countering infiltration by agents and spies. Therefore, some major powers in the domestic and international military spheres have sent people to scout for information. But I assume those matters had nothing to do with you, which is why you didn't notice. Because anyone or any intelligence with malicious intent is neutralized by our military as soon as they enter Su City, so there is no need for you to know about these things."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe finally felt relieved, "No wonder nothing has happened to me recently; it turns out you were handling everything. I won't say much more, thank you!"

"There's no need to thank me. The local military understands the importance of your technology, so they have determined that you have real substance and that your future prospects are limitless. Therefore, your personal safety has always been guaranteed by the Su City military."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to work on my case."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe asked, "Let me ask you a question: that matter with Wu Ming!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the person on the other end fell silent for a moment.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Nothing much. Do you regret that after you analyzed the scene of Wu Ming's case and immediately sought him out for a recorded statement, Wu Ming committed suicide in his rental apartment? Is there a possibility that if you hadn't taken that statement, Wu Ming wouldn't have died?"

In truth, Jiang Zhe was also very concerned about the process of this matter.

Since Officer Su Cheng knew that Jiang Zhe was the Mysterious Person, he felt much more at ease; he could still ask about some of the things he was curious about.

Once these words were spoken, Xiao Shiyi and Wang Lin, who were nearby, looked shocked.

They knew about this case. A while back, the news reported that the murderer who killed Wu Qian was the owner of the house, and the one who killed the owner of the house was Wu Ming.

Good heavens, so the investigator was Officer Su Cheng?

But how did Jiang Zhe know? There was no news online about the details of the interrogation between Wu Ming and Officer Su Cheng.

The two of them frowned, unable to understand.

Soon, Officer Su Cheng's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, "I wouldn't call it regret; I was just doing my job. Besides, even if I hadn't sought him out, he would have followed his sister anyway. During the statement, he already exhibited [suicidal tendencies]. Originally, I shouldn't be telling you these things. But tell me, how do you know these confidential details that only we, the handling officers, know? Even within the police station, there are only paper reports; there aren't even electronic ones. Even if you hacked into our station, you wouldn't be able to find this case report."

But soon, Officer Su Cheng suddenly let it go, "Forget it, you don't need to answer. I should have known about your capabilities long ago."

This statement was also a roundabout way of laying his cards on the table: "I, Officer Su Cheng, know that you are the Mysterious Person, but I didn't expect your methods to be even more extensive than I imagined."

"Is there anything else?"

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, "Nothing else. I wish you a bright future!"

"Thanks!"

Then, Officer Su Cheng hung up the phone first.

At this moment, inside the deputy captain's office at The First Police Station.

Officer Su Cheng looked serious as he hurriedly typed on his keyboard, searching for the Wu Ming report on his computer.

After checking repeatedly and finding no report related to [Wu Ming] on his computer or the police intranet, he was even more confused.

"Only I know that I intentionally let Wu Ming go, but due to official duties, how could he possibly know my inner thoughts?"

"Before the black technology came out, could he also have mind-reading abilities?"

"But I've only met him twice: once at the scene of the hostage situation downstairs at the TV station, and the other time when I asked him for the black technology blueprints."

"Could it really be mind-reading? But both times I saw him, I didn't have any thoughts about Wu Ming in my mind!"

At this very moment, Officer Su Cheng was truly frowning deeply, feeling like he was questioning reality.

He knew Jiang Zhe was the Mysterious Person and that the other party possessed unfathomable abilities, but damn it, this kind of thing where one can pry open someone's brain to see their deep-seated thoughts is just too unreasonable!

Suddenly!

"Could it be that he can see ghosts and learned about my affairs from them?"

"That's not it either; Wu Ming had no idea that I intentionally let him go."

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it felt, making Officer Su Cheng's hair stand on end.

"It's better to interact with him less in the future; there are no secrets in front of him!"

In fact, what he didn't know was that this was all the effect of the Eye of Truth.

...

Inside Villa No. 1 at Waterfront Manor.

Jiang Zhe then made a phone call to Old Zhao.

When the call connected, Old Zhao was working overtime until Jiang Zhe asked about CCVV.

"What CCVV? What does the official TV station have to do with us?"

Listening to Old Zhao's tone, it really sounded like he was unaware, so Jiang Zhe didn't ask any further to avoid making Old Zhao feel guilty.

"Nothing."

"By the way, Little Jiang, New Year's Eve is on the 28th, which is a Tuesday, and New Year's Day is on Wednesday. It's not supposed to be your hosting slot. Do you want to swap your program to those two days? If that doesn't work, I, along with Old Wang, Old Wang, Xiao Shiyi, Wang Lin, and others, will all keep you company at the TV station for the New Year."

"Don't worry, Old Wang has already decided not to go home for the New Year, and Xiao Shiyi has also confirmed he won't be returning to his hometown. As for Wang Lin, I'm not sure."

Hearing the voice on speakerphone, Wang Lin, who was nearby, suddenly grinned and shook his head, "I'm not going back to my hometown."

"Haha, I heard Little Wang next to you; Little Wang said he won't be going back to his hometown either, so that's even better!"

Seeing this, Jiang Zhe smiled knowingly, "No need to swap. I'll host as normal. At worst, I'll just add an extra show, or maybe I'll even pull an all-nighter on New Year's Eve. I expect quite a few viewers will be staying up late then, so I can definitely pull in a big wave of traffic."

Hearing this, Old Zhao became even more excited.

"I knew it, Little Jiang! The audience will definitely be satisfied. After all, the Spring Festival Gala in recent years has been too trashy. It's either us making dumplings, which is embarrassing to death. If our program is online as usual, we might have unexpected gains. When that time comes, Uncle Station Manager here will give you a big red envelope!"

"Haha, thanks, Station Manager."

Jiang Zhe finally showed a brilliant smile.

Afterward, the two of them chatted casually for a few more minutes about the content of tonight's live broadcast.

Since there is so much information regarding the Tianqi Explosion and the Tunguska Event, Old Zhao had already asked his assistant to prepare some detailed materials for Jiang Zhe in advance.

Although there is no definitive conclusion for these two major explosions, some related materials can still be compiled.

As for whether Jiang Zhe will ultimately adopt them—that is Jiang Zhe's business.

As the Station Manager, Old Zhao cannot just prepare nothing in advance; this is part of their duties as Station Manager and staff.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Jiang Zhe's live broadcast.
