On February 14th, there are only three days left before the public high school in Lanhai City starts.

Shen Bai was standing in front of the police station in a black down jacket, lining up in the middle of the queue.

In this era, the Public Security Office carries the functions of "Government Hall" and "Police Station" in the technological era. It is a department with real power and many people come here to do business.

Tens of minutes later, Shen Bai followed the team into the lobby on the first floor of Building A of the Public Security Bureau and went straight to the service desk.

"Hello." Shen Bai smiled politely and greeted the staff:

"My name is Shen Bai. I want to find someone here for private matters."

"who?"

"Li Xiaorui belongs to the Patrol Brigade of the Public Security Station. I am his friend. If it is convenient, you can call him and tell him that the extension is n76434. We made an appointment yesterday."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The staff dialed a number on the landline. After a short ringing tone, the call was connected:

"Hello...is this Li Xiaorui? This is the service desk on the first floor of Building A...there is a young man named Shen Bai, who said he has made an appointment with you, um, um, okay."

The staff member hung up the phone and took out a name badge from the drawer and handed it to Shen Bai:

"You can go up. Agent Li's office is on the 25th floor, house number 2537. The temporary certificate must be worn on your chest at all times. Do not enter the office area without permission, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

Shen Bai nodded and hung the badge on his clothes obediently.

The war between humans and the old lands has been going on. Although the "intensity" has eased compared with previous years, as a force institution that maintains law and order, it still has this sense of precaution.

Without delay, Shen Bai took the elevator to the 25th floor, found the red wooden door with the nameplate "2537 Li Xiaorui", and knocked lightly.

"Xiaobai? Come in."

Chen Bai heard the sound and pushed the door open, then carefully locked the door.

This is a small office, about twenty square meters. The walls are covered with documents and photos. Facing the door is a large square black table. A young man is sitting on a sofa chair, bored. Playing with lighter.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Sit down wherever you want, Xiaobai."

"Brother Rui." Shen Bai greeted and sat across from the desk.

"How can you make a fortune if you don't come to me for so long?"

"Review your lessons."

"Haha, you kid, you want to participate in this year's [Crazy October]!"

Li Xiaorui looked at Shen Bai with a smile, carefully looked at his left hand that was tightly tied with gauze, and felt a little gloating:

"Are you in trouble? Are you asking me for help? Let's make an agreement first. Although we are friends, you also know that even if my father asks me to borrow money, he will have to issue an IOU!"

Li Xiaorui is tall and tall, has a handsome face, and has a pair of shining peach blossom eyes. When he smiles evilly, he has a unique and suave look, as if he is joking.

But Shen Bai knew that Li Xiaorui was not joking, he could really make his biological father pay an IOU for a bottle of mineral water!

It's like money is lost in your eyes.

"Well... I understand, and I won't embarrass you." Shen Bai smiled and took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table:

"Ten thousand yuan, the password is 1 to 6"

"Oh, Xiaobai, you're too polite and outspoken!" Li Xiaorui stood up laughing and held down his bank card:

"What kind of friendship do we have as brothers? Do we need this?"

"Then I take it back?"

"No, no, no!"

Li Xiaorui put the card in his pocket and smiled happily:

"Tell me, if you have anything, no matter how difficult it is, my brother will do it for you!"

Shen Bai couldn't laugh or cry, and felt speechless towards Li Xiaorui.

Shen Bai is only 17 years old this year. He was adopted by the Shen couple three years ago and named "Bai". After two short and happy years, his adoptive parents committed suicide and he became an orphan again.

However, before being adopted, Shen Bai had been living in the "White Sheep Welfare Home" in Lanhai City.

The human federal government has stipulated the minimum living standards for welfare homes. Although they can have enough food and clothing, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are far lower than those of ordinary citizen families.

In order to live a better life, Shen Bai once did some shady little business like many orphans.

Of course, the so-called small business is actually selling kebabs in front of the school, helping others fight, and going to the garbage dump to find some useful precious metals to kill. It is common to be brave and ruthless, but it is illegal to commit rape, but it is impossible to commit robbery.

——Not that strong either.

During those years, Shen Bai met Li Xiaorui, who was still a trainee agent.

Li Xiaorui was dishonest, greedy for money, and often took advantage of his position to make profits. Shen Bai, as the "boss" of the Aries Welfare Home, got along well with him.

After Shen Bai was adopted by his adoptive parents, he began to live a normal life as someone of the same age. However, he did not expect that Shen's father died and he became an orphan again.

In the past two days, he had been to the service center of the military department to report the situation, but the middle-aged man named Xu Jingdong was too sophisticated and did not leave any flaws. Shen Bai couldn't report it if he wanted to.

Moreover, there is no way to protect that kind of person. I'm afraid he won't be so gentle next time. Shen Bai has no power and no one can protect him. He might become cannon fodder and must use shady means.

So he came to Li Xiaorui today to see if he could solve the problem through a gray way.

"That's it, Brother Rui, a few days ago, a man named Xu Jingdong came to my house. He claimed to be a staff member of our Lantian Street Mutual Aid Association, but in fact he negotiated a deal with me..."

Shen Bai carefully told what happened, and also expressed his various speculations.

After listening, Li Xiaorui clicked his tongue, shook his head and said:

"Xiao Bai, my brother advises you, five million, this price is very sincere... Hey, hey, I won't say it anymore, okay."

Li Xiaorui looked at the expressionless Shen Bai, stopped talking in time, stood up, thought for a while and then said uncertainly:

"The Mutual Assistance Association of Lantian Street...a miscellaneous non-governmental organization. Many illegal groups disguise themselves as this kind of organization. From your description, does it do dirty work for a big shot?"

"But when it comes to investigating the case, it's always good to start from the source. I will investigate your adoptive parents' suicide, especially those powerful criminals who have been convicted. They are the ones who most want to see the case reversed. Appear."

"Give me a week and I'll give you everything I can find...and of course [dessert]."

——Intelligence obtained by public officials using their power is sold to individuals or collectives at high prices, which is nicknamed "dessert". According to federal law, Li Xiaorui will at least be dismissed from his post and investigated.

Chen Bai nodded slightly, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Why are you leaving so early? Xiaobai, sit down for a while."

"It's getting late. Do you have other guests?"

"You know this as well?"

"You are a low-level agent with a monthly salary of only about 6,000 yuan, but you have an emerald as big as a pigeon's egg. Even a stupid person knows that you must have a good business... I am really surprised. Brother, you are so flamboyant. Aren’t you afraid that the picket team will arrest you that day and send you to prison for the rest of your life?”

Li Xiaorui's eyes lit up, his breathing became rapid, his face flushed, and there was a little excitement in his voice:

"For the money, all the suffering is worth it!"

Shen Bai:......
Chapter completed!
