Lei Yanxing’s eyes widened instantly, his expression one of disbelief.
Among the vast population of the nation, the number of people he couldn’t investigate was extremely small.
That he couldn’t find Xia Feng’s file was incomprehensible to Lei Yanxing. His clearance should be near maximal, how could he be unable to investigate?
Even for special individuals within the military, some basic information would appear. How could Xia Feng’s file directly reject any query?
Little did Lei Yanxing know that his inquiry had directly alerted the Dragon Group.
Xia Feng’s file was accessible only to Huang Lao and the other four individuals; no one else was qualified to access it. This made him the only person in the entire nation with such an exception.
And it was precisely this sole exception that Lei Yanxing had encountered.
Was his luck bad? In a way, it was quite good.
He had managed to find the one person in the entire country whose file was restricted.
Long Aotian immediately learned that someone was investigating his master's information. He promptly reported the matter to Huang Lao and Li Lao.
Soon, the source of the information query was identified as a department in Guangnan Province, queried from Lei Yanxing’s computer.
Coupled with Li Lao’s knowledge that Xia Feng was in Guangnan Province, he immediately understood that Xia Feng must have encountered something in Guangnan, otherwise, Lei Yanxing wouldn’t be investigating him.
“Long Aotian, call and warn Lei Yanxing. I’ll give Chen Wenwu a heads-up,” Li Lao made his decision.
The Chen Wenwu Li Lao mentioned was Chen Shao’s father, also the number one in Guangnan Province.
“Yes, Li Lao.” Long Aotian took the order and immediately treated it with utmost seriousness.
Xia Feng’s affairs could be major or minor.
If Xia Feng said it was nothing, then it was trivial.
If Xia Feng cared, it could escalate to the level of national importance. As Xia Feng’s disciple, Long Aotian dared not delay.
Even if Li Lao hadn’t given the order, Long Aotian would have personally intervened and warned Lei Yanxing.
Long Aotian immediately found Lei Yanxing’s phone number and dialed it.
Lei Yanxing was still sitting in his office, lost in thought, trying to figure out what had happened. Suddenly, his desk phone rang. Lei Yanxing instinctively frowned.
“Hello?”
Lei Yanxing saw the unfamiliar caller ID and answered the phone.
“It’s me, Long Aotian.”
Long Aotian’s icy voice came through the phone, instantly causing the temperature in the entire office to plummet. Lei Yanxing shivered involuntarily.
Long Aotian. This name was like thunder in Lei Yanxing's ears.
Someone of his standing naturally knew that Long Aotian was not just a name, but a terrifying codename.
Just hearing the name spoken, Lei Yanxing was so scared he almost dropped his phone.
He was already numb with fear before anything had even begun.
“Director… Director Long.”
Lei Yanxing immediately stood up and greeted him with a trembling voice.
“Lei Yanxing, I’m giving you a chance to explain. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll come to Guangnan Province to find you myself.” Long Aotian’s voice remained cold and devoid of emotion.
“Ah… alright.” Lei Yanxing nodded repeatedly, showing no intention of defiance.
Actually, Lei Yanxing already had a good inkling of the reason. It was definitely because he had just investigated Xia Feng.
Long Aotian’s call being so timely could only be about Xia Feng’s matter, and nothing else.
“Who asked you to investigate him? What was the purpose?” Long Aotian asked.
As expected!
As soon as Long Aotian’s question left his lips, Lei Yanxing’s certainty in his heart was confirmed.
“It was Comrade Chen Wenwu’s son, Chen Shao. He asked me to help inquire about Mr. Xia to see if he had committed any illegal or criminal acts. There was no specific purpose and no malicious intent,” Lei Yanxing confessed everything without daring to hide a single word.
Who was Long Aotian?
Lei Yanxing knew better than anyone. In front of Long Aotian, one truly couldn’t hide anything.
If Long Aotian wanted to investigate someone, he would investigate everything meticulously, even how many times one went in and out with their spouse.
Now that Long Aotian was asking, Lei Yanxing didn't dare to conceal anything, fearing that Long Aotian might really come to Guangnan Province, which would be a disaster for him.
“Do your job properly. Li Lao will personally call Chen Wenwu,” Long Aotian said, and hung up the phone.
Long Aotian had understood everything and saw no need for further words.
There was no need to warn Lei Yanxing about anything. His name, Long Aotian, was the strongest warning.
Lei Yanxing looked at the dialing tone on his phone. He broke out in a cold sweat and sat in his office, still shaken and unable to recover.
At this moment, Lei Yanxing’s mind was filled with Long Aotian’s words.
A question also popped into his mind:
Xia Feng, who exactly is he?
He not only shocked Long Aotian but also alerted Li Lao.
Lei Yanxing had reached his current position and had seen all sorts of situations.
However, today’s incident had truly terrified him.
This Xia Feng was too formidable.
