Chapter 55: What’s the Deal, Little Bro?
“Xiao Yu, age 22, from Bincheng City, graduated from the police academy with excellent grades, refused to join the provincial department of L Province, and joined the local investigative agency as a trainee officer… On the first day of his internship, he discovered the murder weapon in a major case. On the second day, he deduced the entire process of the crime. On the third day, the Criminal Investigation Brigade successfully captured the criminal… On the eighth day of his internship, he encountered crucial clues in a major case of family massacre and joined the special task force, taking over the case…”
The middle-aged man’s eyes fixed on Xiao Yu, speaking while observing Xiao Yu’s expression for any changes.
That handsome face remained very calm, showing no sign of fluctuation.
The middle-aged man sighed; no wonder he was praised as a top student and a naturally talented police officer at the academy.
He could even guess the purpose behind these words, couldn’t he?
What a remarkable young man!
Xiao Yu indeed looked calm, but his heart wasn’t.
Growing up in a polluted world, he had once fantasized about hitting his head on the bed and getting a system, traveling to another world or something.
When he actually transmigrated and got a system.
He realized that even this wasn’t a license to do whatever he wanted.
In the face of a powerful and terrifying state apparatus, he was still small fry.
When this state machine rolls over you, it leaves no trace.
Understanding this, Xiao Yu silently crossed out the “show off and bully others” option from his transmigration life.
He gained a deeper understanding of this new world!
But… discussing my background in front of me, is that really appropriate?
“I’m Wang Dong.”
The middle-aged man smiled, “Leader of Group Two, Special Action Team, National Security.”
So what?
Are you going to ask me next if I’m interested in joining National Security?
Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
He was familiar with these routines in his previous life.
He had even been recruited by the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade in this life.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Wang Dong smiled, “Interested in… helping us with this case?”
Huh, not following the script… Xiao Yu was stunned but his eyes lit up, nodding vigorously.
Of course, he was interested!
The system task wasn’t completed yet, and there were less than five days left until the deadline.
If he didn’t solve the case or participate in it within the remaining time, the system task would fail!
“Do you know why we want you to join?” Wang Dong asked with a smile.
“Because I discovered the case?” Xiao Yu replied calmly.
“Anything else?” Wang Dong continued to ask.
I really want to punch him, but I dare not… Xiao Yu pouted, “To test my abilities?”
“Hahahaha!” Wang Dong laughed heartily.
What a smart young man!
But Xiao Yu’s next words stopped Wang Dong’s laughter abruptly.
“Sorry.”
Xiao Yu smiled, “If I said I had no interest in National Security, would you beat me up?”
Wang Dong’s face instantly darkened.
This was the first time his smile had vanished since he arrived.
What’s the deal, little bro?
Haven’t you experienced the harsh realities of society?
Your lack of ambition is bound to get you beaten up!
I think I’ve hit his pride… Xiao Yu tactfully said no more.
“Why?” Wang Dong asked, puzzled.
Don’t you understand that people strive to move up and water flows down?
“My wife has some money.”
Xiao Yu knew he had to explain, “As long as I want, I can live any kind of life.”
Wang Dong was silent, his mouth twitching.
He had investigated Xiao Yu, so how could he not know about his family?
Does Xiao Yu’s wife have a bit of money?
If a fortune over a hundred billion is just a bit of money, then what are ordinary people like us?
Worse than beggars, here to make up the numbers?
Wang Dong was even more curious.
With such a wife, why still be a cop?
“Everyone has dreams.”
Xiao Yu smiled, “My dream is to be a police officer, solve cases, and catch bad guys… It’s the same job anywhere. Promotions and raises mean nothing to me. So why should I leave my familiar environment for National Security?”
Wang Dong fell silent again.
What he said made sense, leaving Wang Dong speechless.
But…
“Were you going to say that with great power comes great responsibility?”
Xiao Yu chuckled, “I understand that, but I’m still young and have no plans to leave this city for now. The most important thing… Do you know the term newlywed bliss? I just got married!”
Smack!
Wang Dong slapped his forehead.
So that’s it!
Newlyweds, inseparable, like honey…
At this time, a man wants to stay by his woman’s side 24/7.
Trying to take him away now, are you dreaming?
Wang Dong’s smile returned, “Let’s not talk about that, let’s work on the case.”
“Thanks for understanding.”
Xiao Yu sighed in relief, his inner thoughts far more colorful than his calm expression.
As a transmigrator, who would want to be watched by National Security?
Others might not know, but he didn’t want that.
Living under the dragon’s watchful eyes, constantly on edge?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, not in this lifetime…
