My words also reminded Guan Ruolan that she had been immersed in grief and had almost forgotten the root of the problem. If it wasn't for that bomb, how could her grandfather have ended up like this?
Therefore, only by finding the real culprit and bringing them to justice could she get justice for her grandfather.
"Brat, tell me, what's going on?!" Guan Ruolan frowned and asked doubtfully.
"If it's not Elder Guan's enemy, then it's me. There should be only these two possibilities."
I pondered for a moment and said, but I intentionally left out a sentence. In my opinion, the second possibility was more likely.
"Yes, my grandfather had a bad temper when he was young. He paid attention to his principles when treating patients. If he felt that someone had a bad character, even if they were rich and powerful, he wouldn't help them. Because of this stubbornness, he offended many people. Over the years, the development of the company hasn't been able to take off, and a large part of the reason is because of the external obstacles."
Guan Ruolan explained slowly. After a pause, she continued, "But they only hindered the development of my family's company, and they didn't lay a hand on my grandfather …"
Guan Ruolan was a smart girl. She didn't say it too clearly, but she expressed her thoughts.
Indeed, recently, my growth in Jing City had been too fast, to the point where no one could compete with me. Because of this, I had also made many enemies. In other words, most of them were targeting me. In this way, Elder Guan was the innocent victim, but fate made a fool out of him.
Although Guan Ruolan blamed me in her heart, she didn't want to say anything more since it had come to this.
"It's okay, I'll find someone to investigate."
I took out my phone and looked through my contact list. Soon, I found a contact — Chief Wei.
That's right, because of some accident, I was brought to the police station in Jing City. I thought that I would encounter some trouble, but Minister Wu of the National Security Bureau called for Chief Wei, who rushed over and scared the hell out of the deputy director. He kept apologizing to me. Before leaving, Chief Wei shamelessly left me his phone number. At that time, I didn't take it to heart and thought that we wouldn't have anything to do with each other. But now that I encountered such a situation, asking Chief Wei for help was the best solution.
After a while, the phone call went through.
"Hello, Brother Xiao Zhuang, I was just about to contact you. I didn't expect you to call me."
Chief Wei was pleasantly surprised. He was the first to know about the situation in Elder Guan's house. After all, there was such a big fire and loud noise. Not only Elder Guan's house, but the entire house was also affected to a certain extent. They immediately called the police.
There was no doubt that things like guns and ammunition were strictly regulated in the country, not to mention bombs. What was worse was that the incident happened in a high-class residential area in Jing City.
All the residents in the residential area were shrouded in a layer of haze. It could be said that they were on tenterhooks. The lives of the rich were especially precious. After the incident, the residents of the residential area jointly funded the establishment of a bodyguard group called the 'Residents' Self-Defense Force. 'There were dozens of them, guarding every corner of the residential area throughout the night.
It wasn't just this high-class residential area. Basically, all the rich areas in Jing City had their own security measures. As a result, the police didn't have enough manpower. The security companies that usually didn't have much business took this chance to make a fortune. They were forced to do everything they could to make up for the numbers.
"Chief Wei, it's so late. I'm sorry to disturb you," I said apologetically.
After all, I was just an outstanding talent in the martial arts field. Since I had something to ask of him, I couldn't put on airs.
"Aiya, what are you saying? Brother Xiao Zhuang, are you hurt?"
Chief Wei asked impatiently, revealing his deep concern. After his preliminary investigation, he roughly knew that I had a close relationship with Minister Wu. Although I didn't have any official position, in Chief Wei's eyes, I was equivalent to a provincial cadre.
"I'm fine, but Elder Guan's condition is very serious. If it's convenient, I hope that Chief Wei can immediately start investigating. Not only the surveillance footage in the residential area, but also the surrounding situation. Carefully collect evidence."
When I said this, my voice wasn't loud, but Guan Ruolan's pretty face couldn't hide her sadness.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang, I've actually been dealing with the things you mentioned just now. I was just about to report the situation to you. Cough, cough, but you have to be mentally prepared …" Chief Wei braced himself and said. From his tone, I could hear a trace of anxiety.
"Yes, it seems that Chief Wei has been keeping my matter in mind. Thank you for thinking so highly of me. If there's anything you want to say, just say it."
I felt a little comforted. Chief Wei was an honest person. He didn't need to take the opportunity to win my favor.
"It's like this. Just this afternoon, the residential area's surveillance system was hacked and fell into a state of paralysis. It was only restored just now, but we found that the entire day's footage had been forcibly erased. The surveillance around the residential area was under the responsibility of the public security, so the security level was higher. However, it was also affected by the Trojan virus. Although the programmers worked overtime to restore it, the footage was still incomplete. It might not be easy to find the suspect from the footage, but what is certain is that this was a premeditated operation …" Chief Wei said while trembling.
"Ah!" My heart skipped a beat. This was too damn cunning.
Guan Ruolan's face was also slightly pale. Although she kept some distance from me, Guan Ruolan had recovered her martial arts strength. As long as she wanted to, she would definitely be able to hear the conversation clearly.
