Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Xu Bails car drove into the parking lot of the 38th Precinct, the black SUV trailing 200 meters behind him did not take another step forward.

“Shan’er!” “Brother Bai.”

“LJ4848.”

Xu Bai walked out of the elevator and found Chen Shan, who had just arrived at the office. Chen Shan, who had his computer on, told him the license plate number of the black SUV following behind him. “Check it.”

Chen Shan, who had taken a bite of the bun, nodded. Just as he placed his hands on the keyboard, he was suddenly stunned and looked at Xu Bai, who was standing beside him.

“That’s not right. Didn’t you say that you would cover my breakfast?”

“I said afternoon tea.’

“…Alright.”

Chen Shan shrugged and used the police system to directly connect to the DMV’s system. He entered the license plate number and clicked on the search button.

Soon.

The black SUV’s vehicle information appeared on the computer screen.

Jingzhou Labor Dispatch Company.

Chen Shan looked at the information displayed and turned to look at Xu Bai.

“Homeland Security?” Xu Bai nodded. “Yes.”

Yes.

Although the information of this black SUV was registered to Jingzhou Labor Dispatch Company,

But…

They knew that Jingzhou Labor Dispatch Company didn’t have this unit at all. This company was the alias of Homeland Security.

However, like all dead ducks, the stubborn Homeland Security had never admitted it even though everyone knew about it.

Chen Shan was a little curious, but something else made him even more curious. “That’s not right. You said afternoon tea, but you’ve never been behind the office in the afternoon.

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at Chen Shan, who had reacted. He smiled and turned to walk toward Team Leader Zhou’s office. “I know. How can I bring you afternoon tea when I’m not around? It’s fine. Three days will pass quickly.”

Chen Shan’s mind went blank for a while. By the time he reacted, Xu Bai had already disappeared from his sight.

What the f*ck..

Chen Shan opened his mouth. He really wanted to curse.

Homeland Security is following me?

On the way to Team Leader Zhou’s office, Xu Bails mind was spinning.

If Homeland Security wanted to know about the apartment building yesterday, they could directly come to him to find out about the case. They didn’t need to follow him at all.

That’s not right.

Compared to following him, this time, it seemed more like he was protecting him in the dark.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and recalled that when Su Meng drove him back to the old factory community yesterday, he also vaguely felt that someone was following them.

The reason why it was vague was that Xu Bai did not find the source. However, his intuition told him that the person following them did not have any ill intentions. Moreover, the focus was not on him.

Considering Su Meng’s family background, it was obvious that the person who had vaguely sensed it but could not be found was secretly protecting Su Meng.

As for the two people who were following him?

The same.

If the other party was following him maliciously, there would be plenty of opportunities to stop him.

However, after he set off from the old factory community and returned to the police station, the two of them did not make any unnecessary movements and maintained a standard 200 -meter tracking distance.

Protecting me in secret?

For what?

Xu Bai shook his head and pushed open Team Leader Zhou’s office door.

“Clang!”

Team Leader Zhou, who was sitting on his desk with a cup of wolfberry tea in his right hand and a fried bun that looked no different from charcoal in his mouth, paused. Then, he stared straight at the door bolt that had fallen to the ground.

The moment Xu Bai picked up the door, it fell out and the bolt fell to the ground. He turned to look at the pitted door frame and was a little curious.

“Boss, it’s broad daylight. Why are you closing the door?”

“…What do you think?”

“Privacy? But your door lock doesn’t work. It dropped before I could apply any force.’

“Do you think there’s any extra space in the door frame for the lock? How many times have I told you? Knock, knock.”

“Don’t worry about the details.”

Xu Bai waved his hand and threw the 60-degree door lock into the trash can at the side. He walked to the desk and looked at the charcoal in the lunch box in front of Team Leader Zhou. He looked at Team Leader Zhou sympathetically. “Boss, it’s been almost two years, but sister-in-law’s culinary skills haven’t improved.”

Since he came in last year, his food was charred. Now, two years later, his food was still charred.

“Boss, you don’t have any special preferences, right?”

“Piss off!”

Team Leader Zhou closed the lunch box and took a deep breath. He looked at Xu Bai. “If you have something to say, say it. If not, scram. Don’t delay my breakfast.

Xu Bai smiled and sat on the sofa. He looked at Team Leader Zhou.

“Homeland Security has been following me since I left the house this morning.”

“I know.”

“Yes… What?”

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at Team Leader Zhou, who had opened his wolfberry cup and was drinking happily. “You know about this?”

Team Leader Zhou closed the lid of the cup and said, “Of course. Is it possible for someone from Homeland Security to follow me without telling me? I’ll fly into a rage.”

Xu Bail s gaze moved up… and landed on the top of Team Leader Zhou’s head.

[Name: Zhou Tianzheng.]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: **** (The target’s level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

[Realm: ****” (The target’s level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)

[Familiarity: “****” (The target’s level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)

Tsk!

What level was this guy at?

When he was at Level 10, it looked like random codes.

At Level 20, it was still garbled.

Now that he was Level 30, it still looked like a bunch of garbled codes.

Could Team Leader Zhou be above Level 40?

But…

If this guy’s Level was really that high, why did he have to dress up as an old cadre all day long and keep a bottle of wolfberries with him 24 hours a day?

Team Leader Zhou.

Cold-faced tiger.

How could our 38th Precinct have two hidden dragons and phoenixes?

Xu Bail s thoughts spun.

The next second.

“Why?”

“Why else?”

Team Leader Zhou rolled his eyes and looked at Xu Bai. “Didn’t I tell you that Homeland Security wants the Night Rose nightclub case?” Xu Bai nodded.

“I did, but what does that have to do with following me?”

“Why not? Didn’t you want to join Homeland Security?”

Xu Bail s eyebrows twitched.

Join Homeland Security?

Who?

There was something wrong with his brain. He didn’t want to be the number one agent in the 38th Precinct. Instead, he went to another department and became a small fry who was unfamiliar with the place. “When did I say that I’m joining Homeland Security?” “Then you won’t let go of the Night Rose nightclub case?”

“This is my case.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. “This is Feng City. In Feng City, no organization more impressive than our police station is allowed to exist.”

Team Leader Zhou nodded. “Congratulations, Homeland Security thinks so too.

We’re in charge of Feng City, but they’re in charge of the entire Federation.”

Xu Bai shook his head. “No, Boss. They followed me, and you agreed just like that?”

Team Leader Zhou shrugged and said, “There’s no law that doesn’t allow Homeland Security to follow you. Anyway, I can’t find a reason not to let them follow you. You don’t have anything to hide.”

There was a pause.

Team Leader Zhou opened his wolfberry cup and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Xu Bai.

“Do you?”

“Of course not!”

Xu Bai did not even think about it. At this moment, even if he did, he had to say no.

Team Leader Zhou took a sip of his nutritional beverage and felt that his kidneys were feeling better again.

“Then what’s the problem?”

“Nonsense, how is it not a problem? Boss, I’m an agent. I have a tail behind me for no reason. Do I still have to do my job?”

“Then why don’t you just give the case to Homeland Security?”

“Impossible!”

Xu Bai rejected this suggestion without thinking.

It wasn’t easy for him to shift his attention from the Night Rose nightclub case to the Night Rose nightclub itself. If the case was handed over to Homeland Security, what if he focused his attention on Sun Qinya’s death again?

Xu Bai looked at Team Leader Zhou.

“In short, this is impossible. I’ll only give it to you if you give the order.”

“I don’t know how to go down. If I go down now, what if you abandon the stall for me in the future? It wasn’t easy for me to nurture you. I’m still counting on you to work hard.” “Nero Zhou.” “What did you say?” “Nothing.”

Xu Bai shook his head.

Team Leader Zhou looked at Xu Bai suspiciously and shook his head. He sighed and said, “I remember that when someone was in the police academy, his stalking and anti-stalking results seemed to be third in history.” When Xu Bai heard this, he looked up at Team Leader Zhou.

“Boss, you mean…”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Team Leader Zhou smiled and took his wolfberry cup. He took a sip and said, “I’ve seen top students play with bad students, but I’ve never seen a bad student play with a top student.”

Xu Bai ignored Team Leader Zhou, who was serving him tea and sending him off. He sat on the sofa and touched his chin. He understood what Team Leader Zhou meant.

Tracking also required skills.

He couldn’t stop Homeland Security from following him, but wasn’t it easy to shake them off?

Team Leader Zhou maintained the gesture of serving tea and sending him off. He looked at Xu Bai, who was sitting motionless on the sofa and sighed. He felt tired and placed the cup of wolfberry tea back on the table.

Only then did Xu Bai stand up and smile at Team Leader Zhou. He turned around and walked out of the door. “Alright, Boss. I won’t delay you from eating sister-in-law’s kind breakfast. I’m leaving.”

Team Leader Zhou opened his mouth and shook his head speechlessly.

Xu Bai opened the door and almost bumped into Su Meng, who was running over.

He quickly reached out his hands and held Su Meng in place before she fell into his arms.

Su Meng looked at her master’s chest and felt a little disappointed. She almost fell into his arms.

“Su Meng, what’s wrong?”

Su Meng came back to her senses and looked up at Xu Bai. “Master, there’s a murder case at a Chinese medicine pharmacy called Renhe Hall on 33rd Street.”

Ding!

[Mission Name: Renhe Hall Case]

Xu Bai was speechless.
