Though young, those who have dealt with him know he is genuinely capable and notoriously difficult to deal with.
Captain Zheng knew what Xiao Xu was thinking and said impatiently: “Even if Director Xia is a bit serious, he won’t pick a fight with you. Just make the call when I tell you.”
Here is the edited version of the article:
Xiao Xu mumbled: “Sounds good, why don’t you make the call…”
Captain Zheng: “Hm?
Xiao Xu: “Ahem, it’s nothing, I’m just saying, if a strong person stands on the rooftop and cuts down with a very sharp tool… wouldn’t it create such a cross-section?”
“If there really is such a possibility,” Captain Zheng said with a forced smile, “then it would be Zhang the Sect Leader or Xie the Great Hero traveling through eight or nine hundred years to arrive here, chopping down this angel with the Dragon-Slaying Knife.”
He had to call Director Xia listlessly. On the other side, two colleagues came down from the building where the sculpture had fallen, bringing two more people with them.
“Captain, when we went up, these two were wandering around the rooftop, sneaking about, carrying a large bag, looking very suspicious, so we brought them down.”
The two men looked to be in their thirties, with greasy, messy hair and disheveled clothes. Caught, they were uncooperative, their eyes darting around furtively, their faces screaming “sleazy”.
Captain Zheng looked at the black bag thrown on the ground, feeling uneasy. When he picked it up and opened it, he found it contained a set of video recording equipment and two telescopes.
“What is this?”
The two men exchanged glances and made some eye signals. Only after Captain Zheng shouted “Speak honestly” did one of them approach with a sly smile: “Officer, don’t be so serious. We’re all men… it’s the women’s dormitory…”
Captain Zheng looked at the tools on the ground and then understood their meaning – these men were actually trying to spy on and record the women’s dormitory from the rooftop?!
