After lunch, Xu Yanche took a half-hour nap on the sofa.
At 1:20, his alarm went off.
He got up and prepared to take a taxi to the bureau.
He still had serious business to attend to today.
He Qing said, "Where are you going? I'll take you."
Xu Yanche yawned, leaned against He Qing, and kissed the corner of his lips. "No need, I'll go myself. Empress He, wash up and lie in bed tonight. I'll favor your plaque this evening."
He Qing: "..." Fine, fine, his mind was acting up again.
Going along with Xu Yanche's words, He Qing said, "Is Yanyan not satisfied with having just me? Do you want to find other men too?"
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, looking heartbroken and melancholy.
[???why? Where did my cold and domineering CEO go? How did he turn into a pitiful little white flower? Has the world gone mad?]
Xu Yanche said, "Not really. I'm leaving first. I'm almost out of time."
Xu Yanche skipped downstairs.
He decided that when he came back tonight, he would ask He Qing why his office was on the third floor instead of the top floor like other domineering CEOs.
The moment he reached the company entrance, he saw Ling Xu pull up in a car.
Xu Yanche greeted Ling Xu with complete ease.
He opened the rear door and climbed in. "All right, let's go."
Thinking about what was about to happen made him a little excited.
Neither Ling Xu nor Xu Yanche spoke during the drive.
Xu Yanche wanted to find something to talk about, but seeing Ling Xu's silent expression, he ultimately gave up.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the police station.
The passing officers saw Ling Xu and greeted him. "Captain Ling."
Ling Xu responded, then brought Xu Yanche outside an interrogation room.
He had Xu Yanche look through the one-way glass at the drug dealer being interrogated inside.
Only when Xu Yanche reached the interrogation room did he realize that all the people outside were leaders.
Ling Xu had already reported Xu Yanche's situation to the bureau.
They had all thought Ling Xu was indulging in wild fantasies, so Ling Xu told them about what had happened that night.
In the end, the leaders decided to arrange several tests for Xu Yanche that afternoon to verify it.
If he passed them smoothly and truly possessed that ability, they would recruit him immediately.
After all, if someone with such abilities slipped out and was used by another country or criminals, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Yanche knew the test had begun.
He greeted each of the leaders in turn, accurately stating every one of their names.
Then, following Ling Xu's instructions, he looked at the criminal inside the interrogation room.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression did not look good.
Three minutes later.
He looked at Ling Xu. "The location where they're organizing prostitution is at the ×× Restaurant, basement level one. There's a hidden door in the eastern wall of the storage room on the first floor that leads down there. Some of the people inside were forced to sell themselves by their husbands. If they refused, they were beaten."
Xu Yanche felt rather uncomfortable inside.
Because what he had seen was even more brutal than that.
Those beasts not only gambled themselves, but also tricked women into marriage. After marrying them, they used all sorts of PUA tactics to force the women into prostitution to make money for them. Once the women could no longer endure it, they contacted unethical hospitals and harvested the women's organs to sell for money, so they could keep gambling.
Their methods were extremely cruel.
He had only seen reports about crime on television before, but seeing and hearing it firsthand were entirely different things.
Director Hao gave the captain of Criminal Investigation Unit Two a look, and the other man immediately understood.
He took people to verify whether it was true.
They also brought body cameras.
Next, they took Xu Yanche to see several other criminals.
After he had looked at three in a row.
Xu Yanche was brought to the reception room.
Xu Yanche held a teacup and looked at the several leaders seated across from him, feeling that something was strange.
It felt like he had returned to his school days, when several teachers took turns interrogating him.
Xu Yanche took a sip of tea, looked at the leaders across from him, and spoke directly. "Um, do you want to ask anything else?"
Director Hao smiled as he took a sip of tea. "Then why don't you tell us a few things about ourselves? Where we went to school, who our deskmates were."
Xu Yanche was not afraid in the slightest. From left to right, he began rattling off a huge string of details as if pouring beans from a jar.
At first, they did not take it seriously, because those matters could still be found out by asking around.
Until Xu Yanche started talking about how old they were when they still wet the bed, and how old they were when they fought someone over a piece of candy, lost, and squatted on the ground crying.
How old they were when, during a competition, they used too much force while shooting a basketball and tore their pants, exposing the red long johns underneath.
What they were allergic to, how many children they had, and what their children liked to eat.
And where they had hidden their private stashes of money.
He covered everything.
Their expressions turned grave.
"Director Hao, you're actually bald now. You thought it looked bad, so you wear a wig every day. But the quality of your wig is pretty good. Send me the link sometime."
The moment he said that, the others all deliberately or inadvertently looked at Director Hao's head.
Director Hao: "..." Fine, fine. He had originally only wanted to test this kid and see whether the kid truly had that ability.
He had not expected to lift a rock only to smash his own foot. His secrets were almost completely exposed.
He immediately cut off the topic and prepared to talk about something else.
Just then, the officers who had gone out returned. They knocked on the office door, their faces full of happiness and excitement.
There was no need to ask; everything Xu Yanche had said was correct.
Director Hao looked at Xu Yanche, whose eyes sparkled as he watched him. In the end, Xu Yanche became an external hire of the bureau. Ling Xu was told to arrange a dedicated workstation for him, and he could come work at the bureau whenever he had nothing else to do, with no fixed working hours.
To be safe, they also drafted an agreement stating that Xu Yanche could only serve the country for the rest of his life and had to come immediately whenever help was needed. There were not many other requirements.
He only needed to work a total of four hours a week. For the rest of the time, he could do whatever he wanted without interference.
Director Hao also specifically arranged for two people to protect Xu Yanche's safety.
Xu Yanche looked at the signed agreement, feeling somewhat dazed. That was it? He had succeeded?
