Chapter 14

Lu Xin pondered for a while and thought that for such a matter, calling the police seemed inappropriate.

As for shooting, of course, he could not. He wasn’t crazy.

It seemed that only the second way was feasible. But Lu Xin also felt a little worried. Although Chen Jing was very serious when telling him that, it wasn’t very appropriate to trouble the leader about another job..

But after pondering for a while, there was no other way, so he could only bring up that number and dial it.

“What’s going on?”

The phone only rang twice before it was picked up.

Chen Jing, on the other end, sounded sober and calm, but she weirdly seemed a little nervous.historical

“Um, Colonel Chen, sorry to call you..”

Lu Xin said as politely as possible, “It’s mainly my side, there’s a problem.”

“What kind of problem?”

Lu Xin heard some subtle movement like countless people suddenly stopped their work at hand. It was extremely quiet.

He also couldn’t help but feel a little nervous because of this atmosphere and quickly spoke: “You see, because I knock off on time every day, and then go patrolling on the streets.. I really didn’t leave early. I just knocked off on time after finishing my work.. The company suddenly wants to sack me..”

There was dead silence at the other end of the phone.

After a while, Chen Jing’s voice rang out, “Patrol?”

“Yes!”

Lu Xin said, “It’s to see if there’s that kind of spirit monster on the street just in case. In fact, I didn’t take up working hours. I always go after work. Really! But the company still fired me, and the director wanted to give the job to someone else..”

He didn’t know whether Chen Jing’s voice was relaxed or helpless. “You called me because of this?”

Lu Xin carefully replied, “.. Yes.”

Chen Jing seemed to have a lot of things to say. But in the end, she only sighed slowly. “Then wait for a while!”

Since she wanted him to wait for a while, that meant it could probably be resolved, right?

Lu Xin had no choice but to wait patiently downstairs, silently smoking a cigarette while waiting for the satellite phone to ring again.

“Let me make them into toys, please?”

Sister appeared at some point, crawling around Lu Xin anxiously. Her body seemed more twisted than usual, and her hair hung down, covering most of her eyes, but also making them brighter. She was a little excited as she looked at Lu Xin and asked, “Brother, they actually dare to bully you, should we not kill them all?

“Mum must be very willing to help with this..

“Maybe Dad would come to help you too..”

“..”

At this time, pedestrians passed by, so Lu Xin had to pretend not to see his sister and turn his head to look at the legs of the women passing by.

After another minute or so of waiting, Lu Xin suddenly saw the director hurriedly coming down the stairway. Behind him, two panicked figures followed. Wiping his sweat while rushing down the stairs, the director saw Lu Xin smoking while squatting by the roadside and hurriedly went toward him. He grabbed his hands while exclaiming, “Aiya, Little Lu, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Lu Xin didn’t know what the director was referring to, so he just let him shake his hand.

“Since you know Director Liu of the main city’s Bogu Technology, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Lu Xin still didn’t know what to say, because he didn’t know any Director Liu.

Seeing Lu Xin remain silent, the director seemed a little guilty. He smiled as he said, “Director Liu just called and said he admires your work ethic a lot. He’s preparing to give a cargo transportation project to us and specifically named you to be in charge. The Chairman called me too. Look at this misunderstanding, hahaha. Come back to work soon, I’ll treat you to dinner after work..”

Lu Xin still didn’t know what to say, but he knew his job was saved.

At this time, the two young people who followed the director down also came forward. One of them was wearing a pearl shirt and looked very unhappy. It was the director’s daughter, Xiao Qing. Because her eyes usually grew on top of her head and she usually bossed people around in the office, everyone secretly called her “Princess Xiao Qing”. The other one was Lv Cheng, who often pestered Lu Xin to teach him something.

Lv Cheng also smiled. Holding Lu Xin’s hand, he apologized. “Brother Lu, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to steal your job..”

“It’s okay, it’s okay..”

Lu Xin hastily drew back his hand and said, “I understand. In this world, we all have a pretty hard time.”

Lv Cheng didn’t expect Lu Xin to be so magnanimous. His eyes lit up, and he said, “Brother Xiao Lu, can I follow you on this new project?”

Lu Xin gave him a look.

Judging from the director’s performance, this new project should be big. If it was completed well, the bonus should be big.

So, he seriously answered, “No!”

Lv Cheng’s smile froze on his face all of a sudden.

Princess Xiao Qing on the side seemed to want to lose her temper. But she couldn’t figure out Lu Xin’s background now. So, she just rolled her eyes and did not say anything.

People with ties to the main city had very deep backgrounds..

After Lu Xin repeatedly assured them that he would go back to work in a while, the director finally wiped his sweat and trembled as he took his daughter and Lv Cheng back to the company first. Then, also at this time, Lu Xin’s satellite phone rang in a very timely manner.

Chen Jing’s voice came out from the phone. “Is the problem solved?”

Lu Xin nodded. Thinking that Chen Jing couldn’t see him, he added, “Solved.”

“That’s good!”

Chen Jing paused for a moment before adding, “You’ve been recruited by us and have enough subsidies, yet you still want to do this job?”

Lu Xin whispered, “In your code, it doesn’t say that you can’t do other jobs..”

Chen Jing was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, “Why do you want to patrol?”

Lu Xin was surprised at this. “Aren’t you paying for me to do that?”

Chen Jing seemed to sigh, and Lu Xin felt as if she was somewhat distressed.

“Since you’re so enthusiastic about your work, then there’s actually one thing that you need to take care of.”

At the other end of the phone, there was a subtle ringing, like she was holding down the microphone and asking someone for some information. After a while, her voice rang out, “I just asked the branch office below Bogu Technology to provide a project for your company, about cargo transportation. Take this opportunity to befriend the owner of Square Transportation Company, Qin Ran.

“Determine whether he has a problem there and then report back to me promptly..”

Hearing that Chen Jing actually arranged work directly for him, Lu Xin was both surprised and somewhat happy.

The leader began to arrange work for him. This was a good thing!

Then, he quickly asked, “What kind of problem?”

Chen Jing said, “The intelligence collection service shows that recently, there were at least seven or eight murders related to his Square Transportation Company. So, I need you to go over and see if these are simply murders or something else..”

“Seven or eight murders?”

Lu Xin was slightly shocked. “What if it’s related to them?”

Chen Jing replied, “If it’s just murder, then we can relax and you can just come back..”

After a pause, she continued, “But if it’s something else, then report immediately!”

“You’ll feel reassured if it’s just murder?”

Lu Xin froze for a moment before he understood the meaning of her words, and a feeling of absurdity immediately surged from his heart.

In the eyes of these people who control psyche corruption, was a case involving seven to eight lives considered trivial?

After a while, he asked carefully, “Is there any danger?”

Chen Jing said, “Yes. Whether it’s murder or psyche corruption, that group is dangerous. But that’s for ordinary people.

“With your abilities, you should be able to handle it.”

When she said that, her voice suddenly had a bit of amusement in it. “No matter what you find, you will be paid.”

Lu Xin agreed to do so.

After a few moments, he returned to the company. He saw his things back in their original places, including the banner.

The people around him, including Sister Sun, secretly looked at him, and then pretended to be busy.

Lu Xin sat for a while and then went to Lv Cheng’s isolated partition.

Faced with his somewhat panicked eyes, Lu Xin said, “I’ve thought about it, we should do this project together!”
