Let's Sleep Together
At 1:30 a. m., Zou Guoming (Big Head), soaking wet, entered the Dark Star Bureau building and found Sun Haoran on duty.
Like the Light Bulb, Sun Haoran was also a newcomer to the Public Security Team, but their situations were completely different.
Sun Haoran is exceptionally talented and quick-witted, earning him high regard and making him a rising star in the Dark Star Bureau.
His nickname is "Star," which is several levels above "Light Bulb."
Seeing Big Head's disheveled state, Sun Haoran quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ming Ge, what happened?"
Zou Guoming wiped his face and said, "I found Hu Lishan."
"Hu Lishan?" Sun Haoran couldn't quite place her.
Zou Guoming glanced at Sun Haoran.
There are some things Sun Haoran will never forget, such as what kind of alcohol Team Leader Xiao likes to drink and what kind of cigarettes Team Leader Chen likes to smoke.
There are some things Sun Haoran often can't remember, such as what cases he has on hand.
"I've found the female college student who went missing a couple of days ago at Flower Lake Park."
"The female college student from Flower Lake Park! I've been too busy lately and forgot about her. Where is she? How is she mentally? Should we take her statement immediately?" Sun Haoran deliberately rubbed his forehead. Actually, he still couldn't remember her, but he had to put on an act.
Big Head waved his hand and said, "No need for a statement. What I found wasn't a living person, it was a corpse. Let's get someone to retrieve it."
"A body?" Sun Haoran was taken aback. "Ming Ge, how did you find it?"
"We need to check the surveillance footage and look for clues. It's hard to explain here. We'll discuss it when we get to the scene."
Sun Haoran nodded and said, "I will inform the two Team Leader immediately."
Big Head asked Sun Haoran to find someone to retrieve the body, Sun Haoran first thought of contacting the team Team Leader.
No wonder people like this are destined to be Star.
Late at night, Li Banfeng crawled out of bed, feeling refreshed as he put on his clothes.
Li Banfeng naturally had to keep his promise to Yao Lao, so he had dinner and drinks with Yu Nan, and even took a nap with her.
Yao Lao makes a lot of sense; it is indeed warm for two people to sleep together.
But Yu Nan couldn't fall asleep.
Because Li Banfeng did nothing but sleep!
He just kept sleeping and did nothing!
Watching Li Banfeng's departing figure, Yu Nan covered her mouth and began to sob.
Li Banfeng placed the Intestine Roller Silkworm in front of Qin Tianjiu.
I explained the pros and cons to him, and now it's up to him to decide.
Without a second thought, Qin Tianjiu picked up the Intestine Roller Silkworm and swallowed them with Yao Lao's medicinal wine. "Seventh Brother, whatever you give me is definitely good. I, Qin Tianjiu, will always remember this kindness."
Even if I can't afford this good stuff, it's because I'm unlucky and short-lived; I deserve this calamity, and it's definitely not Seventh Brother's fault!
Li Banfeng nodded. "With that kind of courage, he's someone who can get things done."
After chatting for a while, Qin Xiaopang brought up the news that the Three Heroes Gate had received:
"Lu Dongjun has stopped making any noise. Many people say he's dead. According to our Tongyin, the old master of the Lu Family Lu Maoxian, made it clear that Lu Dongjun was killed by Monkey Qiu."
Li Banfeng asked, "Did Monkey Qiu admit it?"
"We absolutely cannot admit to that! No matter how big the storm gets, Monkey Qiu shouldn't have killed the Lu Family. Monkey Qiu is now turning around and accusing Lu Maoxian. It seems like the two families are about to fight, and we two Golden Seals have gotten involved too."
"Where should we play? Green Water City or Sea Eat Ridge?"
"I heard it's still in Green Water City, but there's also something going on in Sea Eat Ridge. I heard it from Zhang Liu Ge."
After Lu Dongjun left, the He Family and Ling families took over the business at Sea Eat Ridge. They're arguing over the spoils and it seems they're about to come to blows.
The Ling family?
When did the Ling family get involved in the Sea Eat Ridge affair?
Little Fatty continued, "At Sea Eat Ridge, all the major and minor gangs are preparing to make their move. The Azure Cloud Society siding with the He Family, while the Hundred Flowers Gate is taking over the Ling brothers."
"Where is Jiang Xiang Gang?"
The chubby boy said with disdain, "What are Jiang Xiang Gang anyway? How could they possibly get a chance to participate in such a big event?"
"Which side of Three Heroes Gate are you on?"
"The First Boss has a closer relationship with the He Family, Second Boss and Third Boss have a better relationship with the Ling family."
But as our Silver Seal said, business is business, and friendship is friendship. When it really comes down to it, the situation is uncertain.
There's another grudge that's supposed to be settled soon. A few days ago, Monkey Qiu sent a letter to the Second Miss Chu Family, telling her to hand over the Bai Le Men within a month.
The Second Miss Chu Family said that the Bai Le Men was run by her and the Fifth Young Master of the Ma family. This matter needed to be discussed with the Fifth Young Master of the Ma family. The Fifth Young Master of the Ma family, we've met before, at the Peddler, that Fifth Young Master, the Fifth Young Master..."
He couldn't finish his sentence, his face covered in cold sweat.
"What's wrong with the Fifth Young Master?" The thing Li Banfeng feared most had happened; that crazy old woman Chu Er had brought trouble upon herself.
"Seventh Brother, I, I want to eat something..." Little Fatty wiped his sweat, picked up a pancake and started chewing.
Before long, after eating two pounds of flatbread, Little Fatty had regained some strength and said to Li Banfeng, "I still have some leftover rice in the pot. I'll heat it up, and we can eat it together..."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I won't eat. Tell me about the Fifth Young Master first; I find it quite interesting."
"The Fifth Young Master has not made any move yet, and we don't know where he is. The Second Miss Chu Family has moved into Blue Poplar Village, and she's not leaving!"
Monkey Qiu was furious. He said he would settle the score with Blue Poplar Village as well. Blue Poplar Village was also Lu Family territory. Ma Wu had seized Blue Poplar Village without even informing the Lu Family...
Li Banfeng noticed that Xiao Pang was constantly wiping away sweat, so he probably hadn't eaten enough.
He left Little Fatty one hundred silver dollars and told him not to go hungry.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Banfeng went to Feng's General Store.
The issue of the Travel Permit was still unresolved, so Li Banfeng bought some canned goods, biscuits, fuel, and Machine Oil.
With everything prepared, Li Banfeng returned to his Portable Abode, put his things away, and was about to set off when he suddenly noticed that the door to the outer room was open.
Upon entering, the Red Lotus petals unfolded, revealing two Lotus Seed that had been refined.
Hold the Lotus Seed in your palm and watch it slowly burst open. The first Lotus Seed bursts open and contains ninety-eight Golden Essence Pill.
This is Pan Dehai's most beloved child.
A complete Lu Dongliang can produce 81 Golden Essence Pill, while a piece of Pan Dehai's heart can produce 98.
Why is there such a big difference in quality between the two?
The second Lotus Seed exploded, releasing thirty-six Golden Essence Pill.
The Golden Essence Pill Profuse Monster, whose cultivation level was less than the fifth level, dropped only two fewer Golden Yuan Pills than the eighth-level Bagworm Moth Madam. This native anomaly was truly extraordinary.
Including the remaining sixty Golden Essence Pill from Lu Dongliang's side, the total is one hundred and ninety-four pills.
These Golden Essence Pill represent 19,400 days, which translates to 51 years and a little over a month.
Li Banfeng had an impulse; he suddenly wanted to swallow all the Golden Essence Pill in one go!
Because if he eats it, he will become an eighth-level cultivator!
He has Blue Leaf Pill, although the number is slightly less, with 158 left. But this difference is negligible in terms of proportion.
At first, Li Banfeng just did a casual calculation.
He got carried away after calculating for a while.
An eighth-level cultivator!
Having spent a long time in Pro State, he knew what an eighth-level cultivator was.
He held the pill in his hands, his eyes gleaming, and was about to put it in his mouth when a whirlwind flew out of the Copper Lotus and stopped Li Banfeng.
This crazy lunatic is courting death!
Nobody knows what he's trying to do!
Li Banfeng was also brought back to his senses by the blow from the Copper Lotus.
I really can't eat it all. I'm House Cultivator and three levels while Travel Cultivator.
If the Travel Cultivator reaches level eight but the House Cultivator doesn't, wouldn't he just die instantly?
After calming down, Li Banfeng took a Blue Leaf Pill and a Golden Essence Pill. Once his body recovered, he hurriedly headed towards Blue Poplar Village along the route to the new land.
At the lakeside of Flower Lake Park, personnel are retrieving bodies.
Xiao Zhengong looked down on such minor cases and didn't even show up at the scene. Sun Haoran was reporting to Team Leader Chen.
"Detective Zou Guoming and I reviewed the surveillance footage from the scene and discovered several overlooked details. We found Hu Lishan's abandoned gloves by the lake, and following this clue, we found Hu Lishan's body..."
The Light Bulb spat beside him. "What a shameless bastard! Big Head Brother found the body, and he was just a messenger. He doesn't even blush when he's taking credit!"
Big Head chuckled and said, "Never mind, closing the case is the important thing. Whose credit it is doesn't matter."
Sun Haoran was still reporting on the process of solving the case, and Team Leader Chen listened with a smile, Tangyuan took careful notes.
After he finished his report, Team Leader Chen nodded and said, "As expected of our bureau's Star, you handled this case very efficiently."
Tangyuan nodded in agreement, saying, "Star's future is limitless."
Sun Haoran smiled modestly, "It was all Ming Ge who guided me. Finding Hu Lishan's body was all thanks to Ming Ge's rich experience. I was just there to help him out."
The senior members of our team have all taken good care of me. Team Leader Chen and Team Leader Xiao go without saying, but Sister Xuehan and Ming Ge are also incredibly kind to me.
You Xuehan (Tangyuan) remained silent.
Whether in private or in formal settings, Sun Haoran often flirted with You Xuehan.
You Xuehan also admired this sunny, handsome, and ambitious junior, but she felt that his behavior today was somewhat inappropriate.
Big Head is the senior member of the team, Sun Haoran shouldn't steal his credit.
Team Leader Chen didn't express his opinion. He smoked a cigarette and looked meaningfully at Big Head Zou Guoming.
Big Head was chatting idly with the Light Bulb, seemingly not caring at all about who got the credit.
It was just handling a missing person case, which wasn't exactly a major achievement for the Dark Star Bureau.
But Old Chen felt that something was a little off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
After the body was recovered, Zou Guoming said he was too tired these past two days and asked for a week's leave. Team Leader Chen approved it and handed over Hu Lishan's case to Sun Haoran.
Sun Haoran was very excited.
The Light Bulb was annoyed; he drove Big Head home, complaining the entire way.
"Big Head Bro, why are you taking a vacation now? Isn't this just blatantly letting that kid get away with it? Aren't you afraid he'll become arrogant and domineering later?"
Big Head shook his head and laughed, "He'll climb over me sooner or later. He knows how to behave, while I just know how to get things done."
"I just can't stand how scheming he is..." Light Bulb was still complaining when Big Head turned his gaze to the Western-Style House in the park.
Hu Lishan's case is not important; what is important is that he saw the new land for the first time in his life.
He had never been to Pro State before; the new land was a place only found in Pro State, and now he saw it in Outer State.
Hu Lishan's body was found by He Jiaqing in Xindi.
All the traces by the lake were fabricated by He Jiaqing.
It doesn't matter whose credit it is; it's a better choice to push this matter onto Sun Haoran. As long as Hu Lishan's case is closed, Xindi's affairs will not be exposed.
In the Dark Star Bureau, Big Head is destined to be an agent for life.
The person who can truly change his destiny has now appeared.
PS: How did He Jiaqing win over Big Head?
