Chapter 837: Chapter 564: The Vast Difference Between Siblings
Bai Liuniang and Old Gu finished reading Ruan Yu’s letter, and immediately reported the situation to the organization. The organization promptly instructed Gu Yecheng to lead a team to Wuke Mountain Base.
At that moment, at the Wuke Mountain Base, several men dressed as Taoists gathered and discussed, “We need to quickly leave here with the results. If nothing goes wrong, those people will arrive here soon.”
“We’ll leave in four groups.”
There were approximately a dozen people there, divided into four groups, with three people in each group, each holding a cloth bag in their hands, looking just like ordinary Taoists about to descend the mountain.
Before they could leave, plainclothes officers appeared out of nowhere, showing their badges in front of them: “You are a secret base created by the organization, and without the organization’s permission, no one is allowed to leave.”
They invoked the organization’s name to set up the base here, so naturally, if they wanted to leave, they’d also need the organization’s consent.
The people preparing to leave looked at the ones in front of them, with only one thought in their minds: It’s over, everything is over.
Gu Yecheng entered Wu Wei’s courtyard once again.
This time, Wu Wei was alone, brewing tea at the coffee table. Seeing Yecheng enter, he softly spoke: “You’re here, have a seat.”
Gu Yecheng sat down in front of him: “Mr. Wu, there’s a result that might disappoint you. The organization doesn’t acknowledge the existence of your base, so your base is illegal and non-compliant.”
Wu Wei found it amusing and unconcerned: “Young Master Gu, you’re too naive. You need to understand, the existence of this base isn’t something that happened overnight. If it wasn’t permitted by the organization, could it have survived for so long? Besides, if we were really doing something wrong, it would’ve been done long ago. Why would we wait for you to find us? What you have is just some ordinary results, some normal equipment. What do those even indicate?”
Wu Wei implied that the crucial results, the ones they didn’t want to be discovered, had long been transferred out and Gu Yecheng wouldn’t find them.
“Mr. Wu, there’s a saying you might have heard: A paper can’t wrap fire, no matter how flawlessly you do some things, they will eventually be exposed. This matter won’t end here, I will make sure you are thoroughly convinced.”
“I know you’re talented and capable, but you must understand, some things are in the past, and once they’re over, there’s no need to hold on stubbornly.”
“It’s different, some truths need to be uncovered, to deliver justice to the world, don’t you agree?”
“That’s your belief.” Wu Wei picked up a small teacup, “Some truths, when not uncovered at the time, needn’t resurface later. It’s a respect for the deceased and a way of respecting the families of the living, sparing them reminders of what their loved ones went through.”
“Mr. Wu seems to be quite clear about the cause and process of the 319 explosion case.” Gu Yecheng pressed his lips.
“That’s not it, I’m just stating the facts. You investigate your case, I do my work, there’s no connection between us.”
“Mr. Wu, we’ve checked the archives. When the base was first established, you did file records, but the organization ordered its cessation in the second year, yet you continued to operate.”
“You’re wrong. Whether it exists or not isn’t up to me. Ruan Yu was also aware of the base’s existence and approved of it. Ms. Ruan said that when the local organization faced difficulties, we should help secretly, hence this base was preserved. You can contact Ms. Ruan to confirm whether this happened.” Content originally comes from noᴠelfire.net
“Ms. Ruan Yu has passed away, as you surely know; otherwise, you wouldn’t pin it on her. What you don’t know is, before she passed, Ms. Ruan left a letter explaining everything to the organization. So, Mr. Wu, you must come with me. Until the matter is resolved, your freedom is limited.”
Wu Wei nodded: “Alright, I’ll cooperate with the inquiry.”
Wu Wei indeed cooperated, following Gu Yecheng back.
“Boss, we’ve brought everyone back. The tools and results they intended to take are being examined, and nothing suspicious has been found so far.” Ye Fei reported the situation to Gu Yecheng.
Gu Yecheng looked out the window with a nod: “Either the important results are still there, or they’ve already been moved. Have there been any suspicious people leaving in the past few days?”
Ye Fei shook his head: “No, only Wu Wei himself went down the mountain.”
