Chapter 275: Good Luck
🕑 Added 2023-12-22 18:22:42 +0000 UTC"The key to the evidence room, who has seen it? Why isn't it in its designated place?"
Upon hearing Cui Jie's question, the on-duty police officer immediately responded, "The key to the evidence room was taken by Abin in the evening and hasn't been returned. Maybe he forgot."
"This guy is simply violating discipline."
After cursing in his mind about the key being taken and not returned, Cui Jie left the office and approached Li Zhongzhi, who was sitting in the rest area.
He apologized, "I'm sorry, Zhongzhi. The key was taken home by a police officer. You can come to pick up your things tomorrow morning. It's getting late now; you should go rest."
"Tomorrow, I promise that if you come in the morning, you'll definitely get those things."
Seeing that it was indeed impossible to get his daughter's belongings tonight, Li Zhongzhi gave up.
He approached Charles and the others, saying, "Mr. Charles, I can't get my daughter's personal items tonight. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"Okay, tomorrow morning it is. But we can't afford to delay any longer. The more time we waste, the worse it is for your daughter."
"Let's go, take a rest, and come over tomorrow."
Charles took Li Zhongzhi, and they got into the high-end car, heading straight to the continental hotel.
Seeing Li Zhongzhi and the others leave, Cui Jie received a call from his father-in-law and went straight to his father-in-law's house.
His father-in-law was the chief of the police station. When he saw his father-in-law sitting in the living room, Cui Jie sat directly on the opposite sofa.
"Dad, is Tingting asleep?"
Upon seeing Cui Jie's return and the first thing he cared about was his daughter, a smile appeared on father-in-law’s face.
"Tingting has already fallen asleep. She was in a good mood today, and the baby in her belly didn't kick or move randomly."
Hearing his father-in-law's description, Cui Jie's face showed a happy expression. Then, he asked, "Dad, why did you ask me to come? Is there something going on?"
"Cui Jie, I heard that the Hong Kong guy is back?"
Hearing his father-in-law suddenly mention Li Zhongzhi, Cui Jie was momentarily stunned. Although the case was not small, it shouldn't have attracted the attention of the police chief.
Currently, it was just a missing person case.
"Yes, he came to the police station tonight to retrieve his daughter's belongings. This time, he brought a helper and seemed quite confident."
As for the one man and two women accompanying Charles, they were completely ignored by Cui Jie.
Upon hearing that Li Zhongzhi not only returned but also brought assistance, the police chief frowned slightly, but then eased up. Others might not understand the ins and outs of this matter, but he was well aware.
Zheng Hanshou, who organized all this, wielded tremendous power. He himself had leverage on the other party’s hand.
Li Zhongzhi's daughter’s heart has been reserved by a higher-up who urgently needed to replace.
As for the person Li Zhongzhi brought, the police chief didn't care at all. In Bangkok, a foreigner couldn't cause much trouble. Afterward, he said seriously:
"Cui Jie, after handing over the items to the other party tomorrow, you should not inquire further into this case."
"This case will be resolved soon."
Upon hearing his father-in-law's words, Cui Jie was somewhat confused, so he questioned:
"Dad, why?"
"This could potentially be related to a life-and-death case. How can we just give up like this?"
"Also, what do you mean by 'this case will be resolved soon'?"
Upon hearing his son-in-law's questioning, the police chief did not provide an answer. Instead, he spoke seriously and with a firm attitude:
"This matter, listen to me. Don't get involved anymore."
"This is an order!"
Upon hearing his father-in-law's statement, Cui Jie felt a bit frustrated and didn't linger too long. He directly returned to his own home.
Back at home, Cui Jie didn't idle. He remembered Li Zhongzhi's words and began to investigate the name Charles Doyle through the police network.
He wanted to know what kind of existence could give Li Zhongzhi the confidence that even though the police couldn't find any leads, this person could retrieve his daughter once involved.
As he entered the name Charles Doyle, a large amount of information quickly popped up.
It wasn't local news from Thailand but news reports from the United States. Looking at the English introduction, Cui Jie carefully examined it.
Charles Doyle, the second-largest individual shareholder of Stark Industries, a superhero, the ninja immortal, rescuing people...
Looking at the introduction and a short combat video, Cui Jie was completely stunned. He muttered to himself, "Is this a promotional video for a movie?"
"Is the U.S. going to have a new Captain America?"
If it weren't for the existence of Iron Man Tony Stark and the historical presence of Captain America, Cui Jie simply wouldn't believe all this was real.
Even so, Cui Jie still couldn't believe it. However, the news reports and the name of Charles Doyle as a shareholder in Stark Industries made him consider it isn’t just a movie promotion.
"It seems Li Zhongzhi really brought in a big shot. I just wonder how this person will search for his daughter."
"Finding someone is not something that can be solved by brute force..."
Then, Cui Jie also thought about Charles Doyle's financial power. If the power of money was employed, there was also a possibility.
With a new perspective on Li Zhongzhi's situation, Cui Jie closed his notebook and went back to sleep in his room.

Triskelion Building-
Inside Nick Fury's office-
"Director, according to the latest information, Charles Doyle has become the leader of the High Table and flew to Bangkok, Thailand, on the private plane owned by the High Table earlier today."
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Nick Fury pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Have you found out why he went to Bangkok?"
"Because it's difficult to install any surveillance devices near the agency, it's a bit challenging to investigate. However, based on the surveillance from other routes, we've still come to a conclusion."
At this point, the agent presented a photo, and Li Zhongzhi appeared on it.
"This person is a Hong Kong police officer. Recently, his daughter went missing in Bangkok, Thailand, and after reporting to the police, there were no results."
"According to the call records we retrieved, it was his friend who advised him to go to Charles agency to commission a task to find a solution."
"And at the New York airport, airport staff did confirm that he boarded the private plane of the High Table along with Charles Doyle."
Listening to the agent's briefing, Nick Fury chuckled:
"Such a small task commission, even the ninja immortal has to take it up and personally handle it. Seems like a leisure trip for him."
"Well, consider this Li Zhongzhi lucky. He managed to find Charles agency."
