I Am Your Natural Enemy

You can act within the rules and provide some care.

For example, the Scorching Sun Department didn’t immediately knock on the door and confiscate those gold foil chocolates.

After confirming that nothing unusual was happening at the Internal Staff’s house, they just stationed someone nearby. The next morning, when the Internal Staff’s hired aunt came over and took the little girl to the hospital for a check-up, someone entered the house and conducted a search.

As expected, the search yielded no results. After all, he was once a Field Agent who later became an Internal Staff member and is an old employee with considerable skill. They couldn’t even find any trace of him being a Scorching Sun Department employee at his house.

With no evidence found, everything returned to normal; people left. When the little girl returned, a female acquaintance from the field agent came over, entering the house under the pretense of helping the Internal Staff with errands.

Then, she diverted the topic to the beautifully packaged box of chocolates on the TV cabinet, using a pretext to take one.

As she was about to leave, the little girl suddenly reached out and grabbed her colleague’s sleeve.

"Auntie, has something happened to my dad?"

The colleague turned to look at the little girl, a trace of astonishment in her eyes.

"Uh, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don’t lie to me, I’m not a child anymore.

My dad taught me many things, I can see people have been here, and it was more than one person.

I know under what circumstances such situations occur.

Auntie, can you tell me?"

As the little girl spoke, tears began to fall.

She quickly approached the TV cabinet, picked up the box of chocolates, and handed it to her colleague.

"I haven’t eaten a single chocolate from the thirty in the box. I don’t want them anymore.

Auntie, can you tell me, has something happened to my dad?

I don’t want them anymore; can you bring my dad back?"

The colleague set the box aside and reached out to hold the weeping little girl in her arms.

They were all caring for this little girl, not wanting her to know.

The pretext for helping with the errands was that her father was in a closed meeting.

Unexpectedly, this little girl had been taught well and was very smart.

She could tell that people had come to search the house and found that nothing was actually missing.

She just took one chocolate as a sample from there, confirming to the little girl that the focus was indeed on that box of chocolates.

Holding the heartbroken little girl in her arms, feeling a bit helpless, she wondered if she had such a brilliant, well-behaved daughter, would she make the same choice as the little girl’s father?

Initially following orders, she was supposed to take only one piece as a sample, enough for testing.

But now, whatever she said, the little girl no longer believed.

The little girl clung to it like a straw of hope, chasing her from upstairs to downstairs, insisting on giving her the entire box of chocolates; it was the only way she could think of possibly saving her father.

The entire box of chocolates was involuntarily brought to the Scorching Sun Department.

Feng Yao listened to the female Internal Staff recount the event, her eyes showing complexity.

"She doesn’t want them anymore, and is unwilling to eat them.

Even though she doesn’t really know what they are.

This little girl has her own ideas; we’re really at a loss.

According to her father, if she doesn’t eat them, she’ll be dead in two months at most."

"I’ll ask first, let’s see."

Feng Yao closed the door and made a phone call to the General Director, explaining the sudden appearance of thirty gold coin chocolates.

The General Director, upon hearing, immediately classified the gold coin chocolates as top secret.

The human heart can’t withstand temptation.

Hanging up the phone, Feng Yao called Wen Yan.

"Are you free? There’s something I think it’s safest for you to handle."

"What matters?"

"There’s something I’d like you to take to the detention center for Old Meng to evaluate."

"Huh? Do I need to make a trip?"

"Yes, it’s very important. I don’t trust anyone else, and it’s also not suitable for a big escort."

"Okay, I’ll come over later."

Half an hour later, Wen Yan arrived at the Yu State Scorching Sun Department.

Looking at the box of chocolates on the table, his brows furrowed slightly.

Just approaching, he could feel a pure vitality concentrated there.

"What is this?"

"Lifetime."

Wen Yan quickly retracted the hand he was about to extend.

"How did you get this? Is this what Old Meng needs to evaluate?"

"Yes, as for how it was obtained, it’s a bit complicated."

Feng Yao took Wen Yan to the observation room beside the internal interrogation room, looking inside through a one-way mirror, explaining the situation to Wen Yan.

After finishing, they came outside and saw the small, frail, pale little girl sitting on a chair.

It’s said that those chocolates were forcibly stuffed into the Scorching Sun Department by this little girl.

According to the rules, such things are indeed confiscated. They didn’t break into the house the same night, but slightly let it go so the little girl could eat more; when they went the next time, they couldn’t just make people throw it up.

After speaking for a while, Wen Yan nodded.

"This little girl is indeed quite clever and sensible."

"Unfortunately, she only has a month or so to live..."

Wen Yan now sensed a slight taste.

No wonder Feng Yao discussed this at length with him.

"Speak directly, don’t be like Cai Heizi."

"I’d like to ask you to help her live two more years.

We’ve been colleagues for many years; he even mentored me when I joined.

I can’t help him escape the crime, but what I’m doing now is solidifying the evidence.

But I would like to help with other things if possible.

His wish is for his daughter to live two more years, and I’d like to ask you for help.

This isn’t a Scorching Sun Department matter; it’s my personal request to you."

Speaking, Feng Yao bowed deeply.

"..."

Wen Yan remained silent.

"You’ve come to the wrong place; I truly lack such ability; I can’t promise or refuse.

I can only say, after I return home, I’ll first inquire with the elders and then get back to you."
