Chapter 72: Chapter 071 Mysterious person

Listening to Feng Yifeng’s praise of Meng Yao, Meng Changming naturally felt very pleased.

However, he knew his daughter well. Meng Yao was so young; did she really have the boldness and ability to venture alone into a den of thieves and rescue hostages?

Glancing at the four robbers, Meng Changming walked up to Meng Yao and asked, ”Yaoyao, did you shoot these four kidnappers?”

Meng Yao’s face became embarrassed, and she stammered, ”I...”

Her gaze shifting toward Qin Tian, she mustered her courage and said, ”It wasn’t me, Secretary Meng, it was him.”

Following Meng Yao’s gaze, Meng Changming then noticed Qin Tian.

”He not only killed the four kidnappers but also saved all the hostages in the mall, including... me,” Meng Yao said with composure.

Even though she found Qin Tian rather unpleasant and despite the fact that he was a lecher, as a police officer, she had to stick to the facts.

What happened today was indeed Qin Tian’s doing; he risked his life for it, and she couldn’t claim his credit for herself.

”What Meng Yao said, is it true?” Meng Changming looked at Qin Tian, his gaze carrying a measure of authority.

Qin Tian met Meng Changming’s gaze directly. Although he didn’t know Meng Changming’s exact status, seeing the respectful attitude of the police force toward him, he could more or less guess.

”Indeed, a person of status, with leadership qualities that aren’t common,” Qin Tian inwardly remarked upon sensing Meng Changming’s aura.

”Well, it just so happened that I was in the mall. Taking advantage of the kidnappers’ distraction and with the help of Officer Meng, I managed to rescue the hostages.” Facing Meng Changming, Qin Tian remained calm.

After making eye contact with Qin Tian, even Meng Changming was taken aback.

This young man, who appeared to be in his twenties and not much older than Meng Yao, had a presence in his eyes that commanded respect. How strange!

”Hehe, heroes come forth from the young. Today, you have done a great deed!”

Meng Changming nodded at Qin Tian and turned to Feng Yifeng, saying, ”Director Feng, citizens who perform acts of heroism like this should be rewarded and promoted more, right? The positive energy in society needs more young people like him!”

”Yes, yes, yes,” Feng Yifeng quickly agreed, ”Heroism is definitely encouraged, and this young man will be rewarded...”

Then, a group of people, including Meng Changming, made their way out of the mall. Having narrowly avoided disaster in this incident, the officials still had to hold a press conference to clarify the situation.

”Why did you drag me into it just now? What you did is your own doing; I don’t need you taking credit on my behalf,” Meng Yao said, turning around and grumbling unhappily to Qin Tian before leaving with the police department.

Qin Tian spread his hands: ”Blame me then.”

After everyone had left, Cao Guojun walked up to Qin Tian and gave him a thumbs up, whispering, ”Boss, you really did me a huge favor today. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how to wrap things up. This incident happened in my jurisdiction; had there been a single casualty, I probably would have had to resign or even face responsibility. Of course, that’s secondary - what if something had happened to Meng Yao...”

”I just so happened to be there, hehe, consider it luck that no hostages were injured,” Qin Tian said. ”Bro, you don’t have to thank me, that would be too formal.”

”Alright, but I owe you a meal for today’s incident, and I’ll treat you another day.”

The two brothers laughed, and then Cao Guojun asked, ”By the way, what were you doing inside the mall? Aren’t you at the Qingyun Nightclub?”

Reminding Cao Guojun, Qin Tian said, ”Brother Five, you’ve been away from Dragon Soul for so long; have you forgotten the way we Dragon Soul operate?”

After speaking, the two exchanged glances and simultaneously said, ”Invisible and omnipresent!”

Invisible and omnipresent! That was the motto of the Dragon Soul mercenaries back in the day.

The two chatted indifferently for a while, and then Cao Guojun left to attend the press conference. Qin Tian declined Cao Guojun’s invitation to join the conference, and they parted ways.

Coming out of the mall area, Qin Tian looked up and saw that it was noon, and he was stunned: ”Damn, I forgot to go to work.”

He immediately hailed a taxi and rushed to the Murong Group. On the way, Qin Tian realized that he had Fan Bing’s business card in his bag.

”Deputy Director of Zhonghai TV Station... wow, so young and already the deputy director of a TV station?”

Seeing Fan Bing’s business card, Qin Tian was stunned. Zhonghai TV Station, being a local channel, was the largest TV station in Zhonghai City and one of the top three most outstanding television stations in the country, aside from CCTV.

The deputy director of this TV station should be a very experienced person, shouldn’t they?

Fan Bing looked only about thirty!

Qin Tian clicked his tongue in wonder, but then it dawned on him. In this world, what was impossible? With Fan Bing’s beauty, perhaps her husband was a significant figure, or maybe her family was a prominent clan?

After putting away Fan Bing’s business card, Qin Tian returned to the company’s Security Department.

”Captain Qin!”

”Boss!”

When Qin Tian returned to the Security Department, a flat-screen TV in the department’s break room was showing the press conference.

On the screen was none other than Meng Changming, whom Qin Tian had just met not long ago.

”Did you know that a kidnapping happened today at the East Mall? That was really close!”

Liu Ping’an said to Qin Tian, ”But the situation was very strange. It seemed like four kidnappers took hostages, and then inside the East Mall, the four kidnappers were laid out by a passerby.”

”Is that so.” Qin Tian pretended not to know and sat down in the lounge office.

”No kidding, they say that one person took down four kidnappers all by himself, came in style and left in style, and no one knows who he is.” Li Guolin said seriously.

However, the two exchanged glances, then smiles appeared on their faces.

Liu Ping’an said, ”Boss, let me tell you some Jingtian good news, Qingyun Society is done for this time.”

”Right, this kidnapping seems to be related to the Qingyun Society. According to the news, Qingyun Nightclub was dealing in nationally protected animals—haha, Qingyun Nightclub is Qingyun Society’s den. This time, Qingyun Society is in deep trouble.” Li Guolin lit a cigarette, very excited.

Qin Tian watched the TV screen and let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, the news didn’t reveal his identity, only mentioning that a concerned citizen helped the police kill the kidnappers.

Having just returned to Zhonghai City, Qin Tian definitely didn’t want to become famous so quickly, especially not by the Skull mercenary group.

After the news conference ended, the television station followed up with breaking news.

Perhaps because the impact of the kidnapping was too great, the breaking news was also all about this kidnapping.

Within this, when Qin Tian saw a particular TV screen, he was stunned for a moment.

From the TV came a voice: ”According to reliable sources, the mysterious person who helped the police kill the four kidnappers is the man shown here exiting the side entrance of East Mall. From the surveillance video, this man appears to be between 20 to 30 years of age, with a crew cut...”

He never expected to be called a ”mysterious person” by the reporters, and moreover, these reporters had gotten their hands on East Mall’s surveillance video.

Qin Tian was somewhat dumbfounded, but thankfully he had been prepared when he left, intentionally keeping his head down so as not to show his face on the surveillance.

Qin Tian was very clear that his information not appearing on the press conference must have been Cao Guojun’s help, knowing what Qin Tian was thinking.

But he hadn’t expected these TV station paparazzi to be so impressive...

”Boss...”

”Captain Qin...”

Li Guolin, who was smoking, with a cigarette in his mouth, and Liu Ping’an together watched the TV screen, a bit dumbstruck.

They looked at the TV screen, then back at Qin Tian, comparing the repeating image of the mysterious person on TV with Qin Tian.

At this point, Qin Tian could only play dumb: ”What are you two looking at me for?”

”Boss, that mysterious person looks a lot like you.”

”Yeah, Captain Qin, look at your clothing, it looks like you’re wearing the same outfit.”

Liu Ping’an and Li Guolin almost in unison: ”Boss, could you be that mysterious person!?”

The two nearly shouted, looking at Qin Tian as if they were looking at a beautiful woman.

”Damn, are you two nuts? Me, the mysterious person? If I were that guy, why wouldn’t I go and claim the Good Samaritan award and the police department’s special contribution prize?”

Qin Tian pretended to be utterly speechless. However, in fact, as soon as he had entered the company, he had already received a call from Cao Guojun, who said he knew Qin Tian didn’t want to appear in the media, so the Good Samaritan and special contribution prizes had already been claimed on Qin Tian’s behalf, totaling three hundred thousand. Cao Guojun told Qin Tian to leave a bank account number so he could transfer it over.

However, Liu Ping’an and Li Guolin, who didn’t understand the background and strength of Qin Tian, nodded seriously after hearing his words.

”That’s right, with a three hundred thousand reward, why wouldn’t the boss want it.”

”True, even if Captain Qin is capable, he probably wouldn’t be able to take on four kidnappers armed with guns all by himself...”

”Alright, alright, you two should go out and start your shift, stop talking nonsense here. Get out, out, out...”

Because they were on good terms, Qin Tian talked very casually with Liu Ping’an and Li Guolin—the two followers of Qin Tian were already used to it.

No sooner had Liu Ping’an left through the front door than the office behind them rang with a phone call.

”Captain Qin, please come to the CEO’s office.”

On the phone was Wang Yu’s voice.

Arriving at the CEO’s office, as usual, Qin Tian didn’t knock and just walked in.

In the office, there was no one but Murong Fei.

”Close the door,” Murong Fei said to Qin Tian.

”Ah?”

Qin Tian was startled and asked, ”Should I lock it too?”

Now it was Murong Fei’s turn to be surprised, and she stared at Qin Tian for two seconds before furrowing her brows, ”What are you even thinking? Close the door, don’t lock it.”

”Oh,” Qin Tian’s tone carried a note of disappointment. After closing the door, he came back, sat down on the sofa, and started eating Murong Fei’s fresh fruit.

”What did you want to see me about?” Qin Tian asked.
