The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 853 - 332 Grandpa, Security Bureau

The few members of the Ji Family currently included Ji Shaojun, who was still with the Mu Family, helping Mu Yining.

Ji Shaorong had stayed in Jiangjing to assist Yang Lin with the experiments, while also keeping Xiaoqi company and had only left last month.

Xu Nanjing and Ning Xiao were aware of all this.

As for Ji Heng, all of Bai Lian’s friends knew he was an old embroiderer, skilled enough to bring anything to life with his stitches, having practiced for at least several decades. He was a master of embroidery.

His hobbies were fishing and smoking, making clothes for Bai Lian and Jiang He.

Occasionally he would play mahjong with Director Jian and the others.

"No problem," Zhang Shize reacted quickly. He stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened and scratched his head, "I was just telling Mr. Chi that time flies so quickly."

Ji Heng gave him a look but didn’t say anything and carried another peony pot down from the balcony.

This pot of peonies was quite large, the diameter of the pot was about forty to fifty centimeters, and it was somewhat heavy with the soil.

"Grandpa," Zhang Shize stuffed the medal into his pocket and hurried to help Ji Heng, "Let me help you carry it."

Ji Heng lifted it easily, "No need."

It wasn’t until after they had left that Xu Nanjing realized, he had been looking at men like Old Master Chen and was used to thinking all old people of that age had poor health. But he now saw that Ji Heng was in really good shape.

"How long will Sister Lian probably be out?" Ning Xiao took Xu Nanjing upstairs.

Now that Bai Lian wasn’t around, Ning Xiao had some matters to arrange in her stead.

At the mention of this, Xu Nanjing’s expression turned sour, "Sister Beixuan said she is in room S1 with someone watching her 24 hours a day, it’s difficult for her to get out. We need to wait for Academician Ma or Brother Jiang to return."

The situation with Academician Ma was tough, and as for Jiang Fulai, they had yet to get in touch with him.

After the snow mountain incident, the country became very strict with the security of serving scientific researchers.

When Jiang Fulai traveled, Ming Dongheng was only in charge of the visible protection, while in the background, there were plenty of special forces personnel protecting him.

Now with problems arising within the base, occurring internally, and Bai Lian being the only external person who had contacted the base, it was a small matter just to be under suspicion...

Xu Nanjing feared that the Security Bureau would just find someone arbitrary to take the blame.

**

The next day, at the Security Bureau.

Bai Lian was detained in an all-black room.

There was no light, nor door.

Only a chair.

In the surveillance room, a man in police uniform came in through the door.

The two people responsible for surveillance stood up, "Captain Su."

Su Xu’s gaze fixated on Bai Lian in the surveillance, who under the night vision appeared serene, sitting on the chair with her hands hanging by her sides and eyes slightly closed, face devoid of any emotion.

"How long has she been like this?" Su Xu asked, looking askance.

"Since she came in."

"Bai Lian," Su Xu looked at the night vision for a while, then turned on the intercom, "what did you mean by the last few codes you sent to Ma Tongfeng? Did he involve you in disseminating messages from the base to outsiders?"

Without opening her eyes, Bai Lian’s voice remained unhurried and carried her usual nonchalance, "An answer to a problem."

She was not panicky.

Su Xu turned off the intercom, took out a cigarette, and continued to review Bai Lian’s file, his eyes narrowing.

In his hand was Bai Lian’s file, spanning from her birth to the present.

"No, there must be something wrong with her," Su Xu put down the file and exhaled a ring of smoke, "Ordinary people don’t possess such strong psychological fortitude."

She had been detained for a day and a night.

No one spoke to her, no one told her the time, and all her electronic devices had been taken away.

Under these circumstances, an ordinary person wouldn’t last a few hours before succumbing to nervous breakdown.

Bai Lian, however, was unaffected, indicating her remarkable inner strength.

Such a psychological endurance, even those who have received special training might not maintain, it’s not something one expects from a first-year university student...

Having interrogated many spies, Su Xu could tell at a glance that Bai Lian had secrets.

He stepped outside with his cigarette, while his subordinates were in the office blocking Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan was not a member of the Security Bureau, but the leader of the Chen Family’s special forces. People from the Security Bureau didn’t dare to stop her easily, and once Su Xu arrived, they conveniently let her through.

"Commander Chen." Su Xu opened the door, letting Chen Beixuan in.

"Captain Su, when can we release her?" Chen Beixuan entered the office, sat down in Su Xu’s chair directly, put her dagger down on the table, her black hair tied into a ponytail, and got straight to the point, "You know whose person she is."

"Currently, the only contact from the site was Academician Ma; her association with Academician Ma is still under investigation," Su Xu, although from a different faction, was not afraid of the Chen Family, "The Director has already stated that we must thoroughly investigate all her connections."
