Tranxending Vision - Chapter 886

Chapter 886: 886

What else could she have done? They wouldn’t budge no matter how hard she pressed them . The situation at hand had Long Bing helpless . She had no experience in handling high-profiled characters such as Yu Shanhe . As she started to worry, Xia Lei tugged on her sleeve, motioning her to follow him out .

Long Bing exited the room behind Xia Lei . “What did you want to say?”

Xia Lei replied, “This case should be handled by Boss Shi . If he didn’t want to get involved in this, why did you accept the task?”

Long Bing answered, “He offered it to me personally . How could I say no to that? Plus, I began this case, it was only natural for me to handle the finale . ”

“These men are not ordinary men . Anyone who gets involved will be faced with significant consequences . Do you not know that?” Xia Lei was starting to feel nervous on her behalf .

Weirdly, Long Bing was smiling . “Of course I understand that . But if everyone avoids the problem, who would deliver the justice they deserve? Someone has to do this, I’m not afraid of them . I’m going to head back in now, you should stay out of this . You’re a busy man, any potential risk would just delay your progress . I’m not afraid of problems, I’ll just have everything come to me . ”

Xia Lei pulled her over . “No, you should just walk away from this . I’ll help you with this . ”

“You?” Long Bing stared at him in shock .

Xia Lei answered, “Yeah, I can help you . I’m a member of Bureau 101 too . I’m a supervisor for crying out loud . If you can take over this task, I can take over too . ”

“But…”

Xia Lei stopped her . “Enough, you need to trust me . Let me handle this . If you’re not afraid of problems, then problems fear me . Do you get what I mean?”

Long Bing was taken aback, but she must admit that what Xia Lei said was true . Though she was unafraid, the problems would surely find their way to her . Xia Lei’s situation was very much her opposite . The man was able to go against people like Yu Shanhe and Ling Han . He even had a powerful ‘fiancée’ like Fan Fan . Would Yu Shanhe and Ling Han’s associates dare to challenge Xia Lei?

He then led her towards Shi Boren’s office .

“What are you trying to do?” Long Bing began to feel nervous .

“You know what I’m trying to do . Say nothing later, okay?”

Long Bing wanted to reject him but Xia Lei’s stern expression and rigid stance rendered her silent . Inexplicably, though Long Bing was forced into heeding his will, the woman felt glee . She quite likes this feeling of being spoiled with tenderness .

Coming to the front of Shi Boren’s office, Xia Lei activated his left eye instead of knocking the door .

Inside, Shi Boren was talking to Tang Yuyan .

“Godfather, shouldn’t you handle the interrogation? Why did you have Long Bing see to it?” Tang Yuyan continued, “She managed to solve Yu Shanhe and Ling Han’s case . Her contribution is hefty and significant, like capturing a massive beast all alone . Letting her take care of the finale is also allowing her to receive merit . I have done nothing worthy of the head of Bureau 101, how are the people going to see me? How would the higher-ups look at me?”

“You’re too young . You don’t understand the risk this will bring . ” Shi Boren explained, “Yu Shanhe is no small fry . The man has a lot of people behind him . Those people would’ve felt threatened as of now . Under such circumstances, could they stay silent and do nothing? Anyone who takes over the job is bound to face risks . There is no need for you to worry about the outcome of Long Bing’s interrogation . Yu Shanhe will never cooperate with her . This whole matter would eventually be handed to the higher-ups . We’re merely following the protocols to have Yu Shanhe and Ling Han warmed up . ”

Tang Yuyan heaved a sigh . “Godfather, I… I felt like I’ve wronged Long Bing . ”

Shi Boren replied, “There’s nothing to be sorry about . This is work . I’m sure she’ll understand you . ”

Xia Lei scoffed in his heart . What Shi Boren had really meant was, ‘Long Bing is too honest for her own good . If she perishes, she perishes . There’s nothing wrong with this . ’

Long Bing couldn’t hear the ongoing conversation inside nor did she know that Xia Lei was spying on Shi Boren and Tang Yuyan . Curiously, she touched his elbow and stared at him . Though no words were said, her confused gaze was asking him why they were standing before the door for long .

Finally, Xia Lei reached out to knock on the door .

Tang Yuyan moved over to answer it, immediately welcomed by the sight of a stern-faced Xia Lei and Long Bing . Inexplicably, her heart thumped harshly . “You… What’s the matter?”

Xia Lei brushed past her shoulder, ignoring her to head towards Shi Boren . Without any hesitation, he spoke, “Boss Shi, Yu Shanhe and Ling Han are not cooperating at all . How about you leave this to me? I can handle the job . ”

“You?” Shi Boren had surprise written all over his face .

“Yes, me . ” Xia Lei continued, “I guarantee that I can complete this task . ”

“No can do . ” Shi Boren shook his head fervently . “Yu Shanhe is no regular person . You won’t get anything out of him . ”

“Why are you so sure about that? You should at least let me try . ” Xia Lei could feel fury bubbling in his heart .

“What’s the matter with you today? I regret having you over . You should focus all your energy onto creating weapons . That’s your responsibility to this country . You shouldn’t waste your time on tasks like these . ” Abruptly, Shi Boren landed his gaze on Long Bing . “Oh, I see it now . You must be worried that Long Bing is overworked . Long Bing, tell me . What kind of relationship do you share with Xia Lei?”

“I… We…” Long Bing found it difficult to admit .

“Boss Shi . ” Xia Lei suppressed his anger . “I think it’s better if I say this . She’s my woman . ”

In that split second, Long Bing felt her heart melt into a mushy puddle . This was the first time Xia Lei had ever addressed their relationship publicly . Never had she expected something like this under such a situation . Plus, he said it to Shi Boren’s face . Those words were like a house, a house Xia Lei built for her .

On the other hand, Tang Yuyan could feel her heart shatter into ruins . She was desperate to receive his affection but Xia Lei had given his heart to Long Bing right in front of her .

The same sentence had both Long Bing and Tang Yuyan brimming with tears . Long Bing’s tears from sweetness while Tang Yuyan’s tears were from her heart-breaking reality .

“You both . . . ” Shi Boren pointed at Xia Lei as he glared daggers at Long Bing . The older man was pissed beyond words . Xia Lei was challenging him!

Xia Lei’s tone was calm . “Boss Shi, there are some things that I kept to myself for a while . I figure I should say it now . ”

“Well, go on!”

“Long Bing is my lover, I just wish for her to live a happy life . It’s just a simple wish, I hope you could help me make it come true . ”

Shi Boren said nothing .

Xia Lei went on . “I want to help her complete this task . Please let me handle this . I don’t want her to get troubled while I literally have no fear of that . ”

“So you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re capable now? Long Bing is your lover . If you really think she’s wronged here, you could just take her away . ” Shi Boren’s emotions were spiralling out of control .

Xia Lei replied, “I’ve offered her that but she declined it . She loves this country and she loves her job . I would never ask her to give up on something she loves, but I’ll be glad to help her . ”

“You’re such a love expert! But I’m the decision-maker here . No means no . ”

Xia Lei threatened, “It’s alright if you disagree . I’ll immediately resign from my supervisor position . The next time Bureau 101 faces difficulties, forget about consulting me . ”

“You…” Shi Boren was rendered speechless . Though Xia Lei worked for Bureau 101 occasionally, the man was undeniably a core member . His resignation would mean a gigantic loss to the bureau . Tang Yuyan’s future would be greatly affected too!

“Godfather, just say yes . ” Tang Yuyan’s voice was hoarse .

Shi Boren glared at her briefly, then pointed at Xia Lei again . “You… You bastard… You…”

Xia Lei let out a little laugh . “Boss Shi, what are you trying to say?”

“If you want to handle it, what are you still standing there for? Get out and work!” exclaimed Shi Boren .

“Alright then, I’ll be leaving now . Thank you, Boss Shi . Thank you, Yuyan . ” Xia Lei thanked them and exited the office . The man had suppressed his wrath from the beginning till the end . Shi Boren and Tang Yuyan were no foe, they were friends . Though he was angry about how they mistreated Long Bing, the fact that this was a result of workplace politics would never change . Politics were never clean . It was a fact that Xia Lei understood well .

Generosity was a must when treating friends and family, that was something he practised all the time . A man’s heart must be big, so then it could contain mountains and oceans!

When Xia Lei exited out of the door, Tang Yuyan immediately chased after him .

Long Bing remained at the door, opting to not follow suit .

“I hope you won’t blame me for this . ” Tang Yuyan’s tears were rolling in her socket, threatening to drop down at any given second .

Xia Lei couldn’t find a heart to say anything . Instead, he sighed . “I understand that there are some things you have no control over . I won’t blame you for that . ”

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips . Tearily, she asked, “If that was me, would you help me this way?”

Xia Lei answered, “What kind of question is that? I gave you all my clothes back in Dawang . What else can I help you with?”

“You still had your underwear on,” teased Tang Yuyan, her mood clearly better now .

“That’s enough, I’m going to work now . ”

“Last question . ” Tang Yuyan stared intently at Xia Lei . “Just now… When you revealed that Long Bing was your lover in front of me and my godfather, I felt like my heart was torn apart . I’m not jealous of Ah Bing . In fact, I’m happy for her . You’re the best gift life has to offer . But if I were in her shoes, would you say something like that?”

Xia Lei shook his head . “No . ”

Tang Yuyan was surprised . “W…Why?”

“Because you’re the Tang family’s daughter . You don’t need that . ” With that, Xia Lei left her behind .

Dazedly, she watched him leave . Two beads of tears silently slid down the curves of her cheek .

Long Bing slowly walked over, giving Tang Yuyan’s shoulder a pat . “The things you want, he can’t give . The things he offers, you don’t want . When you finally understand what you truly want in life, I’m sure you’ll be able to find happiness too . ”

Abruptly, Tang Yuyan pulled Long Bing to her front . Then, she buried her face into the crook of Long Bing’s shoulder .
