"No way to explain it," Xiao Feng imdiately realized that last night's incident likely drew the attention of higher-level individuals. But this was also within his expectations.
Within the context of dostic public security, the explosion last night could undoubtedly be classified as a major case.
At this mont, Ma Qiang stepped back and introduced Xiao Feng, "This is our station's officer, Di Junxiong."
Xiao Feng nodded slightly, giving the other man a few extra glances. Being personally introduced by Director Ma Qiang was enough to suggest that this Di Junxiong was not just an ordinary policeman.
Of course, Xiao Feng wasn't too concerned. He wasn't even afraid of soone at the level of Song Keren's old man, so no matter what kind of background this person had, what could it matter?
"Find a chair and sit down to chat." Xiao Feng said calmly, without an ounce of hospitality or welco due for a guest.
Ma Qiang nodded and was not offended by Xiao Feng's attitude. What he feared most was Xiao Feng refusing to cooperate out of inconvenience; that would put him in an awkward position.
Unexpectedly to Xiao Feng, Di Junxiong expressed no dissatisfaction and even smiled at him.
Knowing that Ma Qiang had to move the chairs himself, without directing Di Junxiong, his background must not be simple, yet he showed no arrogance or willfulness, which was comndable.
After thinking it through, Xiao Feng could only attribute this rit to his own identity as a reserve mber of the Demon Suppression Action Team.
Once the two had found chairs and sat down, Ma Qiang glanced at Lin Jiaxuan lying on the deckchair and asked, "Who is this?"
"Oh, she's my child bride. It's fine if she listens in." Xiao Feng casually explained.
"Who are you calling a child bride!" Lin Jiaxuan said angrily, but as she tried to move, a wave of intense pain hit her, and she lay back down.
Ma Qiang cursed his own big mouth and quickly changed the subject, "When we surveyed the scene at dawn, we retrieved surveillance footage, and most of your fight with that creature was recorded."
"Since that's the case, what do you want to know from ?" Xiao Feng asked curiously, "Do you want to hear about my ntal journey back then or what I was thinking?"
"Of course not, mainly to understand the creature's skills and whether there are more of these half-human, half-machine kinds in existence."
"The skills are just as you saw, with strength and speed far beyond human limits. As for whether there are more or if the technology is preserved, it's hard to say."
Ma Qiang asked the most crucial question, "What's the origin of that creature?"
"The organization behind the creature is the reason the Demon Suppression Action Team was ford. This is classified, so I can't talk about it much. Just report my words as they are." Xiao Feng said after taking a sip of tea.
In fact, Xiao Feng could tell that Ma Qiang's purpose in coming was mostly for formality, to avoid the impression of ignoring a significant incident.
Regarding compensation or other detail handling, that would be for Xue Nuofu and higher-level leaders to deal with, so neither Xiao Feng nor Ma Qiang had to worry too much.
After a few more words, Ma Qiang got up and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."
Xiao Feng was about to nod but heard Di Junxiong say, "Director, why don't you go back first, and I'll stay a while?"
Ma Qiang paused for a mont before agreeing, "Alright."
Di Junxiong grinned as he handed over his notebook and car keys, watching Ma Qiang exit.
"Just say what you want." Xiao Feng said bluntly.
After saying that, he instinctively picked up the teacup, only to find it contained only tea leaves and the water had disappeared.
"If you want to drink tea, pour it yourself. Why drink mine?" Xiao Feng said displeasedly to Lin Jiaxuan.
Lin Jiaxuan shook her head with a cheeky look that seed to say, "I drank it, so what?"
Xiao Feng poured more water, sat down, and looked at Di Junxiong with interest, curious about what he wanted to do by staying.
Di Junxiong straightened his collar, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and looked at Xiao Feng with a serious expression.
Xiao Feng found the series of actions a bit baffling, "Do you have sothing or not?"
"I definitely have sothing, and it's a very important matter." Di Junxiong imdiately cupped his fists, "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
After speaking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to beco his apprentice.
However, before he could kneel, "poof," a mouthful of water was sprayed at him.
Di Junxiong was soaked, with two tea leaves stuck to his face.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Lin Jiaxuan, lying on the deckchair, was coughing violently while pointing at Di Junxiong, "You, you're really bent on becoming his disciple?"
Xiao Feng couldn't stand it anymore, "If you can use your hands to hold a teacup and drink my tea, can't you pour yourself a cup? And why is becoming my disciple such a desperate decision?"
Di Junxiong wiped the tea off his face and said to Xiao Feng, "Last night, I watched the surveillance footage of you fighting that creature, and it stirred deeply. I hope you can accept as your apprentice, Master..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop." Xiao Feng said impatiently, "Don't keep saying 'Master,' when did I say I would take you as an apprentice?"
In fact, Xiao Feng had never thought of accepting a disciple. One, it was unnecessary; two, it served no benefit and would require effort and ti. Wouldn't it be better to drink tea and bask in the sun?
At this ti, hearing the commotion, others ca out of the room. When they learned that Di Junxiong wanted to beco Xiao Feng's disciple, their expressions were quite colorful.
"Old Xiao, I see he's sincere. Why not consider it?" Zhao Guo'an said, winking.
Xiao Feng said unhappily, "Worry about your own matters first. You've spent days researching a mint candy, and if you can't solve it, I'll bring Zhen Jinghan over to watch you research."
"Do you think developing sothing is as easy as eating or drinking?" Zhao Guo'an retorted, "I've hardly slept well for several days because of this, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Uh... let's talk about my matter first." Di Junxiong timidly raised his hand and looked at Xiao Feng, "I sincerely want to be your apprentice. Please think it over."
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said, "First, I have no intention of taking an apprentice, and second, if you beco my disciple, what about your job?"
"I've looked into it. You usually stay in Jiangcheng. I can transfer to work in Jiangcheng and beco your apprentice after work." Di Junxiong responded fluently, clearly having done his howork.
However, just as Xiao Feng was about to flatly reject and deter the notion of becoming his disciple, a group of thuggish-looking people swaggered in with a couldn't-care-less attitude.
The leader, a bald man fiddling with two iron balls and puffing on a cigar, swaggered in, saying, "Hey, quite a lively scene. How could Gui Si'Er miss such a lively event."
