Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Shan could not come back to his senses for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, Xu Bai had already returned to his seat.

“My money.”

“I know. I borrowed it.”

“Why should I lend it to you?”

Chen Shan looked at Xu Bai fiercely. “How many times have you lied to me? You even said that you would buy me three days of afternoon tea. Where’s the afternoon tea?”

Xu Bai looked at Chen Shan in confusion. “Three days have passed.’

Chen Shan was slightly stunned.

Was that so?

Has it passed?

The next second.

Chen Shan shook his head like a rattle. “D*mn it, don’t change the concept. The problem is that I didn’t drink afternoon tea for those three days.”

Xu Bai looked at Chen Shan with an innocent expression. “I wasn’t in the office for three days. How could I bring you afternoon tea, right?”

Chen Shan was dumbfounded.

Su Meng couldn’t stand it anymore. She quickly lowered her voice and said to

Xu Bai, “Master, Team Leader is in the office now.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and stood up. He brought Su Meng to Team Leader Zhou’s office.

There was a thud.

Team Leader Zhou was sitting in his seat with a cup of wolfberry tea in his hand. He had just blown it and was about to take a sip to replenish his kidney strength when he heard the door break. He looked up at Xu Bai, who had walked in, and Su Meng, who was following behind him. His eyebrows twitched as he gritted his teeth.

“Dammit, tomorrow I’m going to replace the door with one like the one in the bank safe.’

“The finances won’t reimburse me for this.”

. I’ll pay for it myself!”

‘If you want to be so willful, then pretend I didn’t say anything.’

Xu Bai sat on the sofa and looked at Team Leader Zhou. “Did I give my case to Homeland Security?”

After Su Meng closed the door, she quickly sat beside Xu Bai. Her big eyes

flickered as she prepared to enjoy the next show.

Team Leader Zhou looked at the wolfberry in his hand and sighed. He screwed the lid shut and placed it aside.

“What do you mean, your case? We’re a serious case. The theft case was never part of our team.”

“Yes, but now that this thief is dead, shouldn’t it be our group?”

Just now, Su Meng called him.

The thief had been found.

Then the thief died.

In the end, the body of the thief was taken away by Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu, who had come to the police station in the morning. They also took away some physical evidence found in the thief’s house.

Did she steal his house while he was not at the police station?

Of course.

He didn’t object to Homeland Security taking over this case. Anyway, he had already taken what he needed. Besides, it wasn’t Xu Bai who killed the Nigger thief, but Xu Xian.

Xu Bai wasn’t afraid that Homeland Security would find out anything bad about him.

The problem was that this was not how it was done.

“I’ll give you my case. It’s yours. I can choose not to give it to you, but you can’t snatch it from me.’

And the result?

Did Homeland Security take advantage of his unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack and steal the case?

Team Leader Zhou looked at Xu Bai, who was looking up at him with a smile, and felt a headache.

Last night, when An Ya came to him and asked him to sign a document to transfer the case of the thief to Homeland Security, he did not agree.

The reason was that he had already expected Xu Bail s reaction after hearing this news.

Therefore, he specially arrived half an hour late today. When he came over and did not see Xu Bai, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, while he heaved a sigh of relief, he was also a little confused.

After all, he had quietly transferred the case to Homeland Security. According to Xu Bai’s character, it was impossible for him not to have any reaction.

Just now, Team Leader Zhou was still wondering why Xu Bai did not react. In the next second, Xu Bai broke in with his disciple and questioned him.

so…

Team Leader Zhou turned to Xu Bai and betrayed An Ya without hesitation. “It’s An Ya. An Ya came to my house last night and asked me to transfer the theft case to Homeland Security.”

Su Meng was taken aback. “Why would Sister An Ya do that?”

Team Leader Zhou drank his wolfberry water. “Then I don’t know. She took the document and asked me to sign it. If I don’t sign it, I won’t leave. What can I

Xu Bai was expressionless. “You can refuse to sign it.”

“I’m giving you a case of theft.”

“I’d never sign the papers if I knew the thief was dead. Besides, I’d feel terrible if she stayed in my house.”

When Xu Bai heard Team Leader Zhou’s answer, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyebrows twitched as he looked at Team Leader Zhou, and his expression gradually became speechless.

When Team Leader Zhou saw the expression on Xu Bail s face, he felt a little awkward and explained, “Last night was my wedding anniversary with your sister-in-law. You know that, so…

He had taken some small blue medicine last night that could improve his mood.

It wasn’t much.

There were only seven or eight of them.

Unexpectedly, when he was waiting for the drug to take effect and the battle was going on, An Ya suddenly came to his door. It was obvious that she was not going to leave until he signed it.

What else could he do?

Team Leader Zhou sighed and shook his head. “Anyway, the case has been transferred to Homeland Security. The body will follow the case. You know better than me.”

However, all of this was based on the fact that there was no case.

If a case was filed, then any corpse related to this case would follow this case.

This was a pattern.

Su Meng frowned and said, “But Team Leader, if the body follows the case, then our case should be prioritized.”

Team Leader Zhou shook his head and said, “The murder case of Renhe Hall has been closed.”

Su Meng was stunned. “What?”

Xu Bai also looked at Team Leader Zhou. “Case closed? When?”

He didn’t even sign it, so how could he close a case?

“Last night!”

“At seven o’clock last night, the mayor’s office called and asked about the case.

They learned that the homicides and the thefts were separate, so they asked us to close the case.”

Team Leader Zhou said as he looked at Xu Bai. “Later on, I got someone to ask around. It was Black Widow’s ex-wife who found the mayor’s wife and asked her for help. She didn’t want public opinion to continue fermenting. After all, she’s the girlfriend of a city councilman now.”

Xu Bai clicked his tongue and shook his head. “Isn’t the councilman afraid of following in Huang Niansheng’s footsteps?”

Team Leader Zhou shrugged. “Nothing is certain. Maybe someone likes this. Besides, the case was transferred to the District Attorney yesterday afternoon. According to the procedure, the case should be closed today. It’s good to close the case as soon as possible. Moreover, Black Widow’s ex-wife sponsored us with a million yuan this morning. I have no reason to reject it.”

Su Meng’s eyes widened.

“A million?”

“Spending a million yuan to buy the title of a city councilman’s wife is considered cheap.”

Xu Bai explained to Su Meng and then looked at Team Leader Zhou. “So, we have nothing to do here?”

Team Leader Zhou shook his head. “No, the finance department is already working on it. With this one million yuan, we can distribute the field support that we delayed for three months. Oh right, there’s also the bonus for this case.”

Xu Bai nodded and did not say anything else. Instead, he walked toward the door.

What else could he say?

The case was already closed, and the theft case wasn’t a case of the Major Crimes Investigation Unit, to begin with. As for the death, it was because of the theft case.

Not to mention…

The money.

Naturally, Xu Bai had nothing to say.

After Su Meng saw her master leave, she quickly got up and chased after him. After following Xu Bai back to his seat, she lowered her voice and said, “Master, do you think Homeland Security found anything that was stolen?”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng curiously. “Won’t you know if you ask your uncle?”

Su Meng sighed. “He blacklisted me.”

“Yes?”

“Last night, he came home and saw the note I gave him. Then, he blocked me and said that he would ignore me for three days.”

“Note… Pu Xinnan?”

Xu Bai thought of the caller ID that Su Meng had given to Su Bancheng on her phone and asked curiously, “I never asked. What does this caller ID mean?”

Su Meng shrugged her shoulders. “It means exactly what it says. He’s a man with an ordinary appearance, but he’s unusually confident and even bursting with confidence. Isn’t he a trustworthy man?”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. “Alright.”

Thank goodness.

Although he was also very confident, he was handsome.

He was very handsome.

“Oh yes.”

After Su Meng finished explaining, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Xu Bai, “Master, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Are you free?” Tomorrow?

Xu Bai did not answer this question immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Meng. “What’s up?”

He would first ask about the matter before saying if he was free.

This was also a life experience.

Last year, Xu Bai had just joined the company and was insensible. At that time, Team Leader Zhou had also asked him if he was free tomorrow.

He foolishly said that he was free.

In the end..

Team Leader Zhou dragged the able-bodied man to his house and forcibly cleaned him up for the entire day.

From then on, when Xu Bai heard others ask him if he was free one day, he would not answer them directly, afraid that he would be pulled in again.

Of course.

It didn’t matter as long as there was a mission.

However, at the thought that the reward for helping the old man across the bridge was better than cleaning for the entire day, Xu Bai instantly blacklisted Team Leader Zhou.

Su Meng was slightly stunned. Then, her expression gradually became sad.

“Master, didn’t you read my information?”

“I did.”

“Then…’

“Tomorrow’s your birthday.”

Xu Bai smiled and looked at Su Meng. “I’m just teasing you. How could I forget my disciple’s birthday? Of course I’m free. What’s up?”

He had actually forgotten.

However, the moment Su Meng mentioned the information, Xu Bai relied on his rich experience to acutely realize that tomorrow should be a more important day for Su Meng.

In an instant, other than the 100-day anniversary of falling in love, the first time holding hands, the first time watching a movie… After a series of important holidays for girls, Xu Bai found the answer that most likely matched Su Meng.

Fortunately…

He was right.
