Chang Ye's Midnight Visit

There, that's the Huanggang Science and Trade Company.

The three of them got into the car and sped towards the company.

At the company entrance, Zhou Mei flashed her police ID, the barrier lifted, and they proceeded directly to the chairman's office on the main building, without any hesitation or wrong turns.

A stunning beauty with incredibly bright lipstick approached gracefully, "Excuse me..."

Before she could finish two words, Chang Ye's hand shot out!

A strike to her neck.

The beauty's eyes widened, a look of confusion dawning, and she slowly collapsed.

The chairman's office door was pushed open directly.

Seated in a large executive chair was the man they'd seen in the video, Ding Haichun.

Ding Haichun frowned, "Who are you..."

"Ding Haichun, your plot to assassinate Qu Taiqing through Qingyuan Temple has been exposed. You're under arrest!" Chang Ye stepped forward, standing before him.

Ding Haichun's expression changed drastically.

He raised his hand, and a syringe appeared out of nowhere. Ssssh!

It shot towards Chang Ye.

At the same time, he lunged towards the window, and with a sweep of his hand, Boom!

The floor-to-ceiling window shattered.

Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded. This... this was absolutely not something a normal person could do!

Zhou Mei's face also changed. A Gene Person!

The person before them was indeed a Gene Person!

Gene People were rare exceptions in the world, unseen by ordinary people. But yesterday she'd seen one, and today she saw another!

Was this luck?

No, this was terrible misfortune!

As a police officer, when apprehending a suspect who suddenly revealed themselves as a Gene Person and resisted arrest, killing them, it was the most dangerous situation.

Yesterday, she'd escaped a disaster thanks to Li Diandian (Hu Ya). But today?

Lin Xiaosu's divine eye clearly saw the hair-thin needle, only three inches from Chang Ye's head, but he was powerless. He could see it, but he couldn't react...

In that instant.

Chang Ye's finger moved.

Her fingernail vibrated slightly, flicking the needle. The needle flew towards the ceiling.

The next moment, her finger accelerated dramatically, tapping Ding Haichun on the back of his head. Ding Haichun was already halfway out the window, but Chang Ye's finger hooked his collar, Boom!

Ding Haichun was flung back, crashing heavily onto the desk. His eyes were vacant, and he had fallen unconscious.

Zhou Mei was like stone...

Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded even harder...

Of all the women he'd ever met, Hu Ya was the fiercest.

But today, his long-held perception was overturned. This woman named Chang Ye was even fiercer than Hu Ya.

Even though her movements appeared refined, the results she achieved were truly formidable...

"Sister Chang, I... we'll send people over immediately." Zhou Mei took a deep breath, regaining her composure.

"No need. My people will be here soon. You... you should go back first!"

As Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Mei exited the building, a Maglev Flying Car appeared in the sky...

Sitting in Zhou Mei's car, Lin Xiaosu watched the Maglev Flying Car soar into the sky and disappear beyond the clouds. He slowly turned his head, and Zhou Mei was looking at him.

"Officer Zhou, who... who exactly is she?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Captain Zhang said she's from the provincial department, but I suddenly feel... that doesn't seem right either," Zhou Mei replied. "At least, the provincial department definitely doesn't have a system like that, and she didn't win any awards in the provincial skills competition."

"So, you actually don't know her at all..."

"It's not easy to know someone. I don't know you either!" Zhou Mei said. "Today's murder case is even stranger than yesterday's. How were you able to break through?"

"Can I brag?" Lin Xiaosu blinked.

Zhou Mei rolled her eyes. "...If you have something to say, say it. If you have gas, let it out!"

"Ordinary people know nothing about the world of geniuses!"

Zhou Mei glanced at his punchable face, speechless for a long time, finally exhaling softly. "If I encounter any difficult cases next time, can I still find you, the genius?"

"Yes! Didn't your provincial department leaders set an example with their actions today? Ten thousand yuan for a consultation!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Ten thousand yuan? Are you robbing me?"

"Nonsense! ...This is faster than robbing, much more advanced, and it's not illegal."

Zhou Mei lost interest in talking to him.

She floored the accelerator, dropping him off at Old Tashan Village, then turned and left…

The following period was uneventful.

Lin Xiaosu studied at home, occasionally chatting with Hu Ya about the meaning of life. Time flew by.

One day, two days, three days. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and it was April 12th.

The civil service exam was just a week away.

His mother had visited Qingyuan Temple again in the meantime. This time, the patron she sought help from was even more formidable than Guanyin Bodhisattva; she had gone straight to Tathagata Buddha.

Whether this powerful patron would be effective remained to be seen, but Lin Xiaosu himself was starting to waver.

Before he had gained his divine abilities, he had thought that a stable, secure job was quite appealing.

Even though the salary wasn't high, it was steady.

Moreover, civil servants held a high status. His mother often reminisced about how, with a civil servant's position, he could pick any bride from ten villages around, and they wouldn't even ask for a dowry, car, or house, for fear of scaring off such a prize catch…

However, now that he possessed this incredible divine ability, Lin Xiaosu asked himself repeatedly.

With the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye, should he go to the Meteorological Bureau to be a meteorologist?

Someone who observed the stars, ultimately observing the weather?

It couldn't be, could it?

This was a divine ability with strong potential for manifestation, one that had earned him ten thousand yuan in half a day before…

But this thought could only swirl in his mind. He truly didn't dare to discuss it with his mother. His mother was usually easygoing about everything else, but on this matter, if he dared to back out, she would truly take out the family disciplinary rod…

As the sun began to set, Lin Xiaosu paced outside for a while before returning to his room.

The moment he pushed the door open, he was startled.

Someone was in the room.

A beautiful woman was sitting quietly by the desk where he had been studying, turning to look at him and smiling.

Chang Ye!

Chang Ye, whom he hadn't seen in a month, had arrived in his room without a sound.

"The civil service exam is coming soon! You applied for the Meteorological Bureau," Chang Ye said, gently closing the book that had been left open.

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu replied softly, raising his hand to close the door.

"Are you content to be a weather observer?"

"Sometimes, life isn't about contentment or discontentment, but about compromising with fate," Lin Xiaosu said, pouring her a cup of tea. "At least, when I applied, that was the only position that seemed less popular, with potentially less intense competition."

"How about I give you a suggestion?" Chang Ye said.

"What?"

"Don't take the exam!"

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat…

"You can have a more suitable position."

"What do you mean? Are you arranging a job for me?"

"If you're willing, there's a unique job I can offer you," Chang Ye said, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Unique? How is it unique?"

"In the eyes of outsiders, you'll be working for a private company."

"And in reality?"

"In reality, you'll be working for the country. It's incredibly sacred, incredibly solemn, and the compensation is quite high!" Chang Ye stated.

Lin Xiaosu slowly raised his gaze. "What specifically will I be doing?"

"Whatever is needed! Sometimes you'll need to investigate cases, sometimes you'll need to go undercover, sometimes you'll need to adopt different identities…"

"Are you extending an invitation to me on behalf of the Provincial Department?"

"No, I don't represent the Provincial Department. The Provincial Department isn't qualified enough!"

Lin Xiaosu stared into her eyes. "Who exactly are you?"

"Do you know Qianlong?" Chang Ye asked, uttering five words.

Lin Xiaosu's entire body trembled, and his heart churned like a stormy sea…

Qianlong. Any man with even a slight heroic inclination knew that name.

Qianlong, the hidden dragon guards of the Republic.

The kings among police officers, the apex of the pyramid among soldiers.

They dwelt in darkness, yet they allowed the people of the entire nation to see the light.

Each and every one of them was a god-like existence.

No ordinary person could meet any of them; if they did, it meant something of monumental importance had occurred.

"Why me?" Lin Xiaosu licked his lips lightly.

"You might not have expected it, but because of your existence, Qianlong cracked a shocking case. It was precisely because of this major case that Qianlong's higher-ups truly saw the immense role a criminal investigation genius could play. That's why they recruited you exceptionally. In just one month, the review process was completed, which is why I rushed over overnight to ask for your opinion."

"Which case?"

"The murder of Qu Taiqing of Qingyuan Temple. Through Ding Haichun's interrogation, we uncovered a deeply entrenched domestic criminal organization, advancing the 'Qingping Plan' by a significant margin..."

The Qingping Plan targeted sabotage operations by overseas organizations.

The plan had many branches, with one main branch focusing on the infiltration and disruption of the Gene Project by overseas organizations.

The Gene Project was a hot track this century. The scientific community even concluded that the next century would be the "gene century." Whichever country held the leading position in the Gene Project would essentially secure dominance in the future world.

Therefore, the Gene Project was a national key project and a fiercely contested arena for international infiltration.

Qu Taiqing was a member of Qianlong, designated as 2198. He was not a Gene Person, but he was a top scholar researching genes. He had lived in Tashan for eight years, and his research had made significant progress. If his research were to be implemented, it had a high probability of solving the centuries-old problem of gene rejection.

Thus, the enemy had conspired to assassinate him.

They intended to use this method to halt Great Xia's gene research progress...

"With such complex geopolitical gambits and the high stakes between nations, can... can I, this tiny ant, really stir up trouble on such a platform?" Lin Xiaosu murmured.

"In such a situation, everyone is an ant; no one can do everything alone. But don't forget, you are not fighting alone. Millions of unsung heroes are fighting alongside you..."

Lin Xiaosu slowly stood up and walked to the window, smiling faintly. "My mother desperately wants me to become a civil servant. If I take this step, would that count as being a civil servant?"

"That depends on how you define a civil servant and what your original intentions are for pursuing that path. If your goal in becoming a civil servant is fame, this position won't give you that. If it's for a comfortable life, it will give you even less. If it's for money, then yes, it can provide that. But if you genuinely want to do something for the country, this is your most suitable choice."
