Dark Purple Rose [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 37

When they reached the old agency building, Agent Fang came towards them with an angry look and a bright red face. He grumbled to himself: "I can't believe it! My own daughter!" It was only when he was just a few meters away from Zhan and Yibo that the red veil of anger in his eyes lifted and he saw them. "Sorry, I know I'm late." He said.

"It's okay sir, um, there's something you need to know." Said Yibo and Zhan nodded.

"And that would be?" Asked Agent Fang.

"Well, we were just in the new building and wanted to see you. But after knocking three times and getting no response, we were about to leave until we heard something rumbling in your office. We went in and found your office in a mess. Someone had obviously broken in and trashed the place." Yibo explained calmly.

"Yes. But it wasn't someone. That was my own daughter!" Replied Agent Fang, clenching his fists angrily.

"Your daughter?" Zhan asked in astonishment.

"Yes, the little bitch is angry with me because I took her credit card! But what was I supposed to do? She only got it for emergencies and never used it for anything else. But recently she's gone completely crazy. I'm sure it's because of her new boyfriend. This punk! She's charged 80,000 yuan on her credit card for various expensive purchases! And as if that wasn't bad enough, she also stole money from her mother's wallet! So we took away her credit card and grounded her. After all, she's only 17 years old and as long as she's still living with us, she has to do what we say! But she's not only clever, she's also talented. She ran off and climbed up the building's pipes to my office, somehow pried open the window and went looking for her credit card. And she only trashed the office to screw with me! I have two cameras in my office that immediately send an alarm to my cell phone as soon as there is movement in the office when no one is supposed to be there. And guess what, the alarm pointed to a break-in by my own daughter, who left my office the same way she came in. Man, I should never have let her do the prep courses and training camps for future agents! Now I see what I get out of it." Agent Fang explained, slowly calming down again.

"That's really tough. And she's only 17 years old?" Zhan asked in astonishment.

"Yes, she is. And she has this boyfriend. He's a punk, with colorful hair, piercings in his nose, lip, eyebrows and ears. He wears tattered clothes with rivets, holes and chains attached to them. Just a real punk. He drinks, smokes and smokes pot. And my daughter is head over heels in love with him and would do anything for him. Which she obviously proves to him by giving him lots of presents. My wife and I have tried to talk to her about it calmly. We explained to her why we were worried. But she shot it all down. She said we were narrow-minded people who had no idea about real life. Her boyfriend would have told her that and she would have finally realized it through him!"

"Mhhh, my cousin Yanli had a phase like that once. When she rebelled and was about to commit a crime, my uncle put her in a prison cell for a whole weekend with a few criminals her age. She even spent 12 hours of those 48 hours in a tiny single cell. Well, after the weekend she was like a new person and didn't cause any more trouble. She went back to school, studied hard, went to university and is now a criminal psychologist." Zhan explained with a smile. He loves his cousin Yanli very much. And her little brother Cheng. Unfortunately, he only saw them both very rarely.

"That's a good idea. Maybe I should do that too." Agent Fang said and then asked Yibo and Zhan to follow him. They walked back to the new building and entered his trashed office. He rummaged through the chaos of loose papers and files for a certain file, finally found it and then took Yibo and Zhan to one of the offices that was still available.

They sat down at the desk, Agent Fang opened the file and immediately turned over the gruesome pictures of the corpses so Zhan wouldn't have to see them. Zhan was grateful to him for that, but would have dared to at least take a look at the corpses. But it was probably better if he didn't see them. "And what does it say in them now? How did they die?" Zhan asked impatiently. He was so curious that he would have liked to grab the file and read everything himself.
