Special Forces Medic-Chapter 639 - 596: Just Don’t Want to Rely on Family Connections

Wu Shuang, who just returned to the City Police Department, went to the hospital under Murong Yun's strong insistence. After the doctor confirmed multiple times that there were no issues, she returned to her office. Although the official document had already been issued, there were still a few days until the actual appointment.

In fact, during her absence these past few days, Liu Wei's traffic case had been transferred to the Traffic Department to be handled as a general traffic case. Wu Shuang was angry upon hearing this news, but since the order came directly from the director, she could only silently bear it.

On the desk was a folder that Xiao Sun just brought in, said to be a case directly assigned by the municipal committee.

Such a case would generally not fall into their hands but would be handled directly by the municipal committee's internal security office or transferred to a higher-level department. Wu Shuang picked up the folder, feeling its weight in her hand. The contents might be explosive or perhaps highly confidential, but it was all a heavy burden, a pressure no matter how it was handled.

"Captain Wu! Line three." Xiao Sun called to the daydreaming Wu Shuang from outside.

"Hello! This is Wu Shuang." After briefly stating her identity, Wu Shuang waited formally for the other party to speak.

"Officer Wu, hello, this is the Municipal Committee Secretariat, speaking on behalf of Secretary Luo."

Secretary Luo heard Wu Shuang's voice over the phone; it was a capable voice. His impression of Wu Shuang remained from Xiao Lin and Xia Xue's engagement banquet, where she calmly took away the Qu Family members.

Hua Qingyi had a reason to choose Wu Shuang, just as Xiao Lin chose the Xia Family. In fact, the Xia Family indeed helped the Hua Family financially this time. Such financial support is indispensable for a politician.

Wang Zhanting could secure his position as Minister of the Organization Department because of the Wang family's powerful finances. Despite the current predicament the Wang family faced due to Fatty Wang, depleting all their financial resources to cover the consumption losses.

But the Wang family, after all, is still the Wang family, with their own foundation intact. It's not impossible to rebuild, but reaching the top overnight would be somewhat strenuous.

"Hello! Secretary Luo." Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Wu Shuang instinctively stood up from her chair. This was a natural reaction, as Secretary Luo was equivalent to Municipal Committee Secretary Hua Muyun. Receiving a call from Secretary Luo generally meant only two possible outcomes: good or bad.

Although Wu Shuang had only encountered Hua Qingyi, the man widely rumored to be a playboy, known for his nonchalant bad habits, deeply ingrained despite any improvements that were merely the tip of the iceberg.

However, she held a bit of admiration for Hua Muyun. Since childhood, she often heard heroic stories of Hua Muyun's tasks alongside the then-leader of the Xiao Family, which only made her more contemptuous of Hua Qingyi.

"Officer Wu, no need to be nervous!" Secretary Luo seemed to have noticed a slight tremble in Wu Shuang's voice. He chuckled softly a few times. "I heard about your injury, and I'm here to extend Secretary Hua's regards on his behalf."

"Uh..." She had only been back for half a day, and Hua Muyun had already gotten the news. This intelligence network was truly impressive. "Thank you for Secretary Hua's concern, I don't have any serious issues."

"That's good!" Wu Shuang indeed differed from ordinary people, as she did not ask about the source of this information right away. For this, she passed Hua Muyun's first test. "If you're not busy, please come to the City Committee Building in an hour and a half."

Wu Shuang hadn't yet looked through the folder and felt it should be related to the case at hand. "I'll be there on time!"

"That's great."

The first thing that caught her eye was the name of the Head of the Municipal Propaganda Department. This was indeed not an ordinary case. After a brief glance, Wu Shuang picked up her bag and placed the folder inside.

"Captain Wu, are you heading out? Your injury..."

"Hmm, I want to go back and rest a bit." Wu Shuang did not tell anyone the real situation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Secretary Luo from the municipal committee just contacted you, is there any issue?"

"No, it was just a regular congratulatory call."

"Captain Wu, you must be hitting it big this time, remember to treat us." Xiao Sun smiled happily, as she was Wu Shuang's assistant, naturally, she would also enjoy a promotion, and her salary would increase somewhat too.

"You pick the place, I'll foot the bill." Seeing through the young girl's thoughts, Wu Shuang pinched her nose. "Don't slack off while I'm not around."

Wu Shuang's car drove away from the gates of the City Police Department. Murong Yun, standing on the third floor, let down the curtains. He also had a similar folder on his desk, its contents identical to Wu Shuang's. Glancing at the black plastic cover, he disinterestedly tossed it into the drawer.

Xiao Mu hadn't appeared before him for a long time. He wondered if his conveyed message had made an impact or if Xiao Mu simply wanted to return to the Xiao Family, but either way, this was good for Xiao Mu. Murong Yun put on his gloves, quietly closed the door, and headed to his basement.

At 2:30 PM, Wu Shuang arrived at the City Committee Building five minutes early. This wasn't the City Police Department, where one could enter directly after registration at security. She needed to have her identity verified, be announced by the security, and then have the concerned person come down to sign off before she could be let in.

Without causing a traffic jam, she sat in the car waiting for Secretary Luo. Fortunately, it wasn't a long wait before the person came out from the City Committee Building.

"Officer Wu, sorry to keep you waiting." After handling the formalities at security, Secretary Luo indicated that Wu Shuang could park her car in the vacant spot nearby, and then led her into the City Committee Building.

"Secretary Luo, you're too kind." It was Wu Shuang's first time entering the City Committee Building. She felt a bit anxious, clutching her bag tightly. Compared to her City Police Department, this large and bright building was much more imposing.

"Secretary Hua still has some work to finish. Please follow me to his small meeting room to wait." Secretary Luo didn't take her directly to Hua Muyun's office but instead entered a frequently used small meeting room, conveniently passing by Wang Zhanting's office.

In the small meeting room, an assistant served two cups of coffee. "Officer Wu, I heard you like American-style coffee. I wonder if the coffee here in the City Committee Building compares to the one you brew yourself."

Wu Shuang just smiled and didn't express any opinion. Such politeness was just pleasantries, not requiring a serious response. Originally, she thought she'd have to wait a long time. Hua Muyun appeared in the small meeting room right on time. Wu Shuang and Secretary Luo stood up simultaneously, the former feeling nothing but nervousness.

"Sit." Hua Muyun sat down facing Wu Shuang, while Secretary Luo naturally exited the meeting room and stood at the door. "Xiao Wu, I heard you were injured. Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Secretary Hua. I'm fine."

"That's good to hear. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain to our head of department!"

"Hehehe!" Wu Shuang chuckled twice.

"Officer Wu's work has always been highly regarded by the committee. Your performance in past major tasks is still vivid in my memory." Hua Muyun scrutinized Wu Shuang. "Lao Wu has kept his daughter pretty well hidden."

"I just don't want to rely on my family connections."

"Naturally, we understand that, or you wouldn't have been promoted. But it's a bit tricky when the father is the director and the daughter is the deputy director."

"Secretary Hua, I am not interested in being the director."

"No rush. The committee will properly handle this situation." Hua Muyun waved his hand dismissively at Wu Shuang. "I invited you over to consult about Minister Tang's case, which the city takes very seriously."

"I reviewed the situation on the way here." Hua Muyun shifted the topic to the case, allowing Wu Shuang to breathe a sigh of relief. Her father was actually the director of the City Police Department, Wu Zhengxiong. "Since you, Secretary Hua, are involved, I have a question to ask."

"Feel free to ask any questions, Officer Wu." Hua Muyun leaned back in his chair, his arms naturally folded in front of him.

"Did Minister Tang become agitated at the beginning of your conversation, or was it your subsequent words that led to her becoming agitated?"

"Officer Wu wants to know if I provoked Minister Tang with my words, causing her to go berserk?" Hua Muyun directly pointed out the underlying meaning of Wu Shuang's question.

"Secretary Hua's straightforwardness took Wu Shuang by surprise, but that was precisely her intention."

"Officer Wu, I mentioned from the start that this matter is not ordinary, so you don't need to worry too much about details. Ask anything you need." Hua Muyun reminded Wu Shuang again. "You can consider me just as another witness in your many cases rather than a secretary, which might ease your burden a bit."

"Okay, Secretary Hua, I'll try." Treating him as a regular person was indeed a bit challenging, Wu Shuang sighed inwardly, but it was better to get into the case review state sooner.

Wu Shuang took out her notebook, which had records of both solved and unsolved cases, all marked without exception.

"Has Qing Yi caused you any trouble?" Hua Muyun suddenly asked an unrelated question.

"Secretary Hua seems to have a thorough understanding of my whereabouts, and would naturally know Young Master Hua's manner of associating with me." Wu Shuang's answer gave Hua Muyun a slight pause. "When Secretary Luo called me, I was already aware that you had been secretly observing Young Master Hua all along, and I happened to be around him during this time. Of course, you are also monitoring the other person near me."

After glancing again at the contents of the file, Wu Shuang looked up directly at Hua Muyun. "Secretary Hua, I believe many people are implicated in Minister Tang's case, and you must have your reasons for handing such a case to me. I have nothing to hide here, so please pardon my presumptuousness and any disrespectful language." (To be continued.
