On the other side, Xu Kai walked over to his friend who was standing there waiting for him.
"Let's go, Xingwen."
Tian Xingwen nodded.
The two walked upstairs.
Xu Kai glanced at his friend beside him and asked:
" Xingwen, why didn't you come with me to say hello to Brother Shen? Didn't you also want to join the Supervision Bureau?"
Tian Xingwen paused, and said:
" Xu Kai, do you think we still have a chance to join the Supervision Bureau?"
"Of course there's hope!" Xu Kai looked at Tian Xingwen with some confusion. "Why are you suddenly saying that?"
"Because I suddenly feel like I'll never be able to join in this lifetime!" Tian Xingwen sighed.
"How could that be? If we work hard, we still have a great chance, right?" Xu Kai encouraged.
"It's difficult!" Tian Xingwen shook his head.
"Look, over the years, only two people from our public security department have joined the Supervision Bureau, and that was because the Supervision Bureau was short-staffed."
"Right now, they might not need one more person in a year."
"In this situation, even if they need people, we'll not only have to compete with other people in our city, but also with the Military Department."
"The chances are really slim!"
Xu Kai thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled:
"It's okay, I believe that as long as we work hard, we still have a chance!"
Tian Xingwen glanced at his friend beside him and said:
"If it were you, the chances would be much better, but it wouldn't be so easy for me."
"I wonder if the government will lift resource restrictions in the future. If they do, then I should still be able to..."
The two chatted as they found the person in charge who was supposed to receive them, and after receiving their work assignments, they went to an office area on the third floor.
After sitting down, Xu Kai turned his head and looked around.
In the large office area, a dozen or so people were scattered around.
Although the other spaces were empty, many desktops were piled with files, clearly indicating that someone had been there before, but now they were just empty.
Those who remained seated mostly looked worried and had little energy to do anything else.
"Thank goodness we came. If we hadn't, there probably wouldn't be many people left here in a few days," Xu Kai thought to himself.
He turned his head and looked around, pondering how to motivate them, when he saw a police officer turn his head and look at him.
"Hey, you guys, aren't you afraid you'll be the ones dying in the end?" the officer asked in a low voice.
Xu Kai smiled slightly; the opportunity had arrived.
He laughed and said, "No, it's very safe. Aren't the Supervision Bureau stationed here 24 hours a day?"
"It's because they're stationed here that I feel a little more at ease, but I still can't be completely at ease. What if...?"
"No, don't worry. Let me tell you, there's a member of the Supervision Bureau Supervision Bureau a perception-based ability. If Calamity Beast causes even the slightest unusual disturbance, it will be detected..."
Not far away, Ding Xiao turned his head with some confusion to look at the figure that had suddenly stopped in place.
" Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Weren't you going to the restroom?"
Lin Xiaoyu remained silent, her facial muscles Distortion slightly before she looked up at Ding Xiao and smiled:
" Sister Ding, you go ahead. I suddenly remembered I need to go downstairs for something."
"You son of a bitch! You always say you're busy with work, but this time it's even more outrageous—you're not even picking up your daughter!"
A piercing roar suddenly entered Shen Heng's mind.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A man and a woman were standing in front of the reception window, and next to them was a police officer holding a little girl's hand, smiling awkwardly.
The man took a deep breath and said, "Didn't I already message you? I told you I'm busy at noon and asked you to pick me up!"
"Send messages, send messages! All you do is send messages all day long! Didn't you see that I didn't reply?" the woman roared.
"What are you doing if you don't reply?" The man took a deep breath.
"What I do is none of your business. I sent you a message, but you didn't answer. All you ever do is work."
The woman's red-nailed fingers almost poked her husband's nose.
"If the teacher hadn't called me and I hadn't immediately called the police, Xiao Nuo might have been kidnapped by now!"
"Stop pretending to be a good person! Who's been glued to their phone scrolling through short videos all day, not even noticing when our daughter ran away? I'm working overtime to earn money to support the family, and what about you?" the husband said angrily.
"Making money? You dare talk about that with your meager salary! Mortgage, tutoring, living expenses..."
"You've mentioned so many fees, what, do you think that money grows on trees...?"
"Gentlemen, calm down, the child is alright, isn't he?" The young officer tried to mediate, but his voice was immediately drowned out by the louder argument.
Shen Heng glanced at the arguing couple, then his gaze shifted to the little girl who was silently crying with her head down.
"I'm sorry... it's all Nuonuo's fault..."
Intermittent sobs reached Shen Heng's ears.
He sighed softly. This world truly still has many dilapidated places...
Suddenly, Shen Heng felt his seat move, and then a figure stood up from beside him and walked towards the little girl.
Le Gu Nan gently knelt down beside the little girl.
She gently raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her fingertips softly tracing her cool cheek.
"It's okay, it's not your fault..."
The little girl's eyelashes fluttered, and she finally raised her eyes to look at her.
If you're scared, you can hold my hand!
Le Gu Nan gently opened his palm towards the little girl.
Shen Heng watched quietly from a distance, watching the little girl cautiously reaching out her hand, watching Le Gu Nan squatting on the ground with a slight smile, watching the little girl who suddenly cried out and rushed into Le Gu Nan's arms...
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
The world is in ruins, and the kitten is just patching things up...
Shen Heng slowly shifted his gaze, and just as he was about to close his eyes again, his gaze suddenly stopped on a person.
Lin Xiaoyu? What's she doing downstairs for no reason? Doesn't she have work to do?
Shen Heng frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiaoyu.
Seemingly sensing that she was being watched, Lin Xiaoyu turned her head to look at him, then quickly turned back and quickened her pace again.
Seeing this, Shen Heng frowned again.
He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He instinctively called out to stop the other person.
" Lin Xiaoyu, stop!"
Upon hearing his shout, Lin Xiaoyu froze on the spot.
Shen Heng bent his knees slightly, and was about to get up to ask when he saw Lin Xiaoyu suddenly turn around.
A slight smile played on her lips, and along with the smile, a dark gun barrel loomed in her face.
Shen Heng's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes fixed on the muzzle of the gun.
Didn't we tell them to take all the guns away before?
The thought only flashed through Shen Heng's mind before his body suddenly fell to the side.
