I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 152: Relief

"Excuse me. It appears there is some kind of misunderstanding. He's with me." Du Jingtian walked over to stand between Zhang Jue and the group of FBI agents, blocking their guns.

At the same time, he smiled shyly at Zhang Jue. As Lei Shan's secretary and assistant, he had many matters to attend to. Zhang Jue had come to this country by taking a private route, so Du Jingtian had not sent his colleagues from the Foundation to pick him up. He only knew that after only a few minutes of delay, there was a commotion. Du Jingtian couldn't help but recall Mr. Lei Shan's joke after the SCP-682 containment breach on the headquarters.

"That Advisor Zhang Jue is probably the pure definition of chaos. Everywhere he goes, a whole lot of inexplicable things happen." When he saw Du Jingtian coming, Zhang Jue stopped talking, ready to see how he would handle it, and simply spread his hands.

Du Jingtian moved his body again, separating Zhang Jue from the FBI captain. The crowd thought he was protecting his friend. Only he knew in his own heart that if he had come a little later, the captain would have had to say goodbye to the clothes on his body.

Unlike Zhang Jue, Du Jingtian's group who used to wear a special uniform, It was known that their status was extraordinary just from the way they were dressed. That captain was used to being bossy, but he knew his position.

He dared to bully Zhang Jue because he knew that Zhang Jue didn't have any backup, but when Du Jingtian was in front of him, he acted differently. Despite the fact that he was also an Asian, all of the elite bodyguards behind him immediately took over the situation and surrounded them vaguely.

People who dare to confront the FBI on the streets of Mei openly are either a foolish people or a person who has a deep connection.

The captain glanced at Du Jingtian, "I don't care whose friend he is. I'm working on a case now. If anyone dares to disrupt our business, I have the right to do anything and deal with him."

Du Jingtian gave an oh and stopped talking. One of the people in his entourage was a Mei man, and looking at the clothes on his body, he seemed to be a staff member of the grand hotel behind them and was a lowly henchman.

He smiled slightly, "Detective, I am the general manager of the Kai Yue Hotel, and this gentleman is from the Sirui Group. See if you can make it easier."

The captain glanced at him. Kai Yue is the largest hotel in this country, known for its unique appearance and services. Many big stars have shares in the hotel while carrying out many unspeakable transactions. Although he was only a general manager, in the eyes of the community, he is definitely a most known figure. But as an FBI captain with the government at his back, he couldn't just back down.

"I may have to reiterate again that I was ordered to handle the case. This person has contact with the suspect we are after. We need to take him back to assist in the investigation. If I release him now, who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong in the future."

Hearing the captain say that, that hotel manager smiled, "I understand." He took out a phone, dialed a number, said a few words, and then handed the phone to the FBI captain.

The captain took the phone, immediately stood up straight, and answered yes after hearing the voice on the other side. After a brief conversation, the captain respectfully handed the phone back to the hotel manager.

"I'm sorry, this is indeed a misunderstanding." The captain slightly bowed, then waved to the team members behind him and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Du Jingtian.

"Wait a minute."

Du Jingtian pointed at Zhang Jue's already destroyed suitcase and messy clothes.

"What about those?"

That captain glanced at Zhang Jue, who always kept his face calm and slightly clenched his fist. He walked over to Zhang Jue and personally folded all the clothes and put them into the suitcase. Everyone watched his movements in silence, none of them daring to speak.

Five minutes later, all the clothes were neatly folded. The captain stood up and looked at Zhang Jue. "Mr. Zhang, your suitcase seems to be broken. Please tell me your address. I'll buy a new one and send it to you. If I can't buy the same model, I'll buy the most expensive one within my ability. Are you fine with it?"

Zhang Jue waved his hand, "No need. You can go."

The captain looked at the hotel manager, who in turn looked at Du Jingtian.

Du Jingtian smiled faintly, "Since my friend didn't really need it, you can go ahead and be careful on your way."

Hearing the last instruction, a strange light flashed in the captain's eyes, then he regained his calm and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

After the captain left, Du Jingtian lifted Zhang Jue's suitcase.

"Sorry, Advisor Zhang. I'm late."

Zhang Jue also smiled anew, "It's okay, you're just in time."

Under Du Jingtian's command, the group walked together toward the hotel. The hotel manager glanced backward at the FBI agents who had just left and then followed their lead. He didn't know precisely what Zhang Jue's status was, but he knew Du Jingtian's status.

Advisor Zhang Jue was still the first person who could make him personally salute his action. He was glad he hadn't chosen the wrong side.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Jue put his arm around Du Jingtian's shoulder and said, "Man, just now, you deliberately let that captain pick up the clothes for me. Is it because you were afraid that I would retaliate against him?"

Du Jingtian smiled. Zhang Jue was thoughtful, and his own mind really couldn't be hidden from him.

"In my opinion Advisor Zhang, you would do something like that." Du Jingtian said.

Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows, "Wouldn't you?"

Du Jingtian laughed, "No."

Zhang Jue chuckled.

From their first meeting at the last boxing match, Du Jingtian had given him an excellent impression of a man with a delicate mind but not annoying.

After all, this is the country of Mei, and that FBI captain picked up a bone with the wrong person. He showed him dominance, and if he insisted on making trouble with him, the Foundation would have a headache.

Even for the sake of Lei Shan, he will not fool around. Not to mention that Du Jingtian had already taken over the situation for him. The captain still seemed to be unconvinced, and if he dared to catch him again. He would not blame Zhang Jue for being ruthless.

...

A few people came to an elegant room, and Du Jingtian rightfully gave Zhang Jue the main seat while he himself sat on his left-hand side. The hotel manager also came into the room, and Du Jingtian introduced him and Zhang Jue to each other.

"Manager Blake, Mr. Zhang is a special advisor of our Sirui Group, who has made many important contributions to our group. He may need to stay in your hotel for a while, so I hope you will take care of him."

Blake was a hotel manager and had met an unknown number of people, and although the young man in front of him did not look special, he was definitely not an ordinary person who could make Du Jingtian treat him like this.

He extended his hand and shook Zhang Jue's, "Advisor Zhang, If there's anything you need, just give me a call."

Zhang Jue smiled back, "I'm grateful, Manager Blake."

After a few more pleasantries, Blake went out the door, leaving Du Jingtian and his group to speak with Zhang Jue alone. Zhang Jue looked at several of Du Jingtian's entourage.

Du Jingtian nodded, "All of us came from the same place." It looked like these were all colleagues of the Foundation. Zhang Jue then relaxed.

He took a sip of water and asked, "What was that all about? Why are all the people at the FBI so sensitive now."

Du Jingtian said, "Advisor Zhang is usually busy and may not be too familiar with the situation here. Something happened here recently that affected people around here.... well, it caused a big problem too."

Du Jingtian's words successfully aroused Zhang Jue's interest. He smiled and asked, "What is it? Was the president secretly cheating on his wife and got filmed?"

"Not really, but it's pretty much the same." Du Jingtian showed an embarrassed look, "In recent times, indecent pictures and videos of various celebrities have frequently appeared on the black market, and disturbing public order. Even a governor took the blame and resigned, which has had a significant impact on the side of the country, and the FBI is currently tracing the source."

Zhang Jue almost spits out the water in his mouth, thinking how could things like that create such a big problem. He asked a few more questions and waited for the atmosphere to calm down before getting down to business.

"Well, that's enough gossip for now." Zhang Jue wiped his mouth and looked around at a few colleagues, "Which one of you is responsible for investigating Will Smith? Can you explain the situation and how you still lost him?"
