"Are you a mole?"
"Based on the existing evidence, it's only tax evasion, untreated sewage discharge, and food safety issues. Is that worth you going undercover?"
"Or is all of this your excuse to clear your name?"
...
The reporters had too many questions, all of them descending on Tang Si. If it weren't for his assistant, Su Jun, and several police officers who arrived later to block them, they would have cornered Tang Si.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
At this moment, a deep voice from the side spoke.
The crowd quieted for only a second before their gazes followed the sound. They saw Han Yu, dressed in a police uniform, walking over.
"Is that Officer Han?"
"Why is Officer Han here?"
"Could he be here to arrest Tang Si?"
"Zhao Qiyuan is Zhao Wuyan's father, Tang Si's father-in-law. He definitely has joint responsibility and must go to jail, otherwise, the public's anger won't be appeased."
"Exactly. Who says otherwise? When Zhao Wuyan married into the Tang family, it was considered a downward marriage, after all, the Tang family wasn't as prominent as the Zhao family."
...
"Everyone, please be quiet." Han Yu raised his hand to signal for quiet, then squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Tang Si.
Their eyes met for a moment.
Tang Si nodded slightly, remaining silent. Han Yu, however, placed his hand on Tang Si's shoulder and raised his voice to address everyone, "Everyone, I want to solemnly introduce the identity of the person next to me..."
"Isn't he Young Master Tang? What's there to introduce?"
"Yes, that's right."
"What does Officer Han mean by this?"
"I wonder what he's up to."
"Could Officer Han be trying to protect him?"
...
The reporters murmured amongst themselves, like boiling water.
Han Yu frowned and raised his hand again to signal for quiet.
With one gesture, two to thirty reporters were still chattering incessantly. Only when Han Yu's expression turned cold and serious did they gradually quiet down.
Once they were silent, Han Yu spoke, "Everyone here knows the person next to me, and you know he is called Tang Si, the second young master of the Tang family. However, he has another identity that you are not aware of, which is... he is an undercover agent for our police force."
His words caused the scene to erupt once more.
Everyone was stunned.
"Holy cow, what kind of joke is this?"
"Can anyone become an undercover agent these days?"
"I don't believe it."
"The credibility is extremely low. Besides, everyone in Lancheng knows Han Yu is Tang Si's friend. Aren't they trying to whitewash Tang Si?"
"It's hard to say."
...
More and more people gathered. Han Yu exchanged a look with a police officer beside him. Before long, a person walked out of the police station lobby holding a megaphone.
This person was the director of the Lancheng Police Bureau. As he walked over, everyone made way.
Director Chen stood between Han Yu and Tang Si. Holding the megaphone, he addressed the crowd, "Everyone, allow me to introduce myself, I am Chen Lu, the director of the Lancheng Bureau. Today, I will tell you about Tang Si. Tang Si was once a soldier and a doctor, a person of integrity, with a kind and sincere heart. When our police force attempted to investigate the criminal evidence of Zhao Qiyuan and his illegitimate son, Huo Xiaohua, we discovered that the opposing forces were deeply entrenched and their methods were extremely covert, putting us in a very passive position."
"At this critical juncture, our Criminal Investigation Captain, Officer Han Yu, recommended Tang Si to us. Because Miss Zhao Wuyan of the Zhao family was very fond of Tang Si, we persuaded Tang Si to feign marriage to Zhao Wuyan, gain the trust of the Zhao family, and thereby successfully obtained the criminal evidence of the Zhao and Huo families. We also busted the F-drug trafficking ring led by Huo Xiaohua, apprehending over fifty gang members and seizing thirty kilograms of drugs."
"Here, we would first like to express our gratitude to Tang Si for his sacrifice, and secondly, we would like to thank Tang Si's true fiancée for her silent sacrifices behind the scenes. Today, we will award Mr. Tang the 'Heroic Model' award, along with a bonus of 500,000."
