After Chi Shen left, the Special Security Bureau was in a mess as if it had been swept by a storm.

However, no one was injured. Chi Shen had told them in advance to stay away. So even though what happened this morning was a bit too outrageous and the destructive power was considerable, everyone just watched a confusing show. Only the arranged dojo fell apart and turned into a garbage dump.

"What on earth is that?"

Although Chi Shen had been gone for a long time, Uncle Ge couldn't help but ask questions.

Many people saw the scene in the Taoist temple just now. Chi Shen was surrounded by pitch-black ghost fog. Soon, a soft white light appeared faintly in the middle of the ghost fog. At that time, everyone thought that Chi Shen was going to be liberated, but the white light quickly turned blood-red, and a blood-colored phantom suddenly appeared in the middle of the Taoist temple.

It was like a scene from hell.

The winding blood river, the blood-red sky, and countless roaring evil spirits seemed to want to break through the illusion.

The range of the bloody phantom was not large, about the size of a door. People who were far away might not be able to see it clearly, but Li Shuan and his friends were close and could see the phantom clearly.

Just as the swarm of evil spirits rushed over, the bloody phantom suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed. It shook and shattered, leaving no trace.

At that time, Xiao Yuan looked at Chi Shen carefully, but saw that his expression was calm, as if he was thinking about something, and then he looked at them and smiled.

Although this smile seemed bright and sunny under the morning light, everyone of them felt creepy and didn't even say a word.

Chi Shen waved to them, said he was going to work, and then left.

"Are we just going to let him go like this?" Xiao Yuan said to himself. His voice was very soft, as if he was not asking others, but asking himself.

"Who else will stop him? You go? Do you dare?" Someone next to him replied in a not very good tone.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and didn't say anything. He just walked away thoughtfully.

By noon, the mess at the Special Security Bureau had been cleaned up, and the few people who had originally attended the meeting also dispersed one after another. Everyone left with their own thoughts, and went to prepare tokens for Chi Shen, or to cooperate with the family to recognize Chi Shen's position as acting patriarch.

At this time, Li Shuan was still in charge of the Special Security Bureau. He was now the most senior person in the Hong Kong City Special Security Bureau and had to command here.

It was very easy for him to let Chi Shen become the acting patriarch of the Li family. After all, he was the patriarch of the Li family. He made a few phone calls and communicated with his family. He planned to give Chi Shen only a title but not real power.

After the communication, he rubbed his nose tiredly and wanted to take a nap in the office. At this moment, his phone rang again.

Li Shuan picked up the phone sleepily and answered it: "This is how it is arranged. We need to listen to him about the current situation in Gangcheng..."

There was no sound from the other end, it was unusually quiet, but Li Shuan suddenly woke up with a start. He didn't continue talking, but looked at the strange number on his phone.

"Oh? What is Patriarch Li arranging?" Seeing that he had discovered something, the other side did not continue to wait, but asked directly.

"Bai Ximing." Li Shuan put down his phone and started recording, a habit he learned from the police.

There was a sneer from the other side: "Humph, no matter what you are arranging, it's useless. I know you tried to do it this morning, but it didn't work, right? Of course it didn't work. This is Hong Kong City, the territory of my Bai family!"

Li Shuan was too tired to think deeply, but he still asked instinctively: "What have you arranged in Hong Kong City?"

"Haha, no matter what we arranged, your actions today have angered me. I will put forward additional conditions."

Li Shuan's voice turned cold: "What conditions?"

"I want to see if your Special Security Bureau is really hypocritical. I want you and the head of the Zhang family to personally send Chi Shen here."

Li Shuan was silent for a moment. He listened carefully to the noise on the phone, but apart from the ghost's crying, there was no background sound that could help him determine the other party's environment.

"Why, you don't want to?" Bai Ximing's voice asked on the other end.

"I need to discuss this with the Zhang family." Li Shuan answered slowly, as if he was thinking.

"Haha, sure." Bai Ximing laughed on the other end of the phone, "But you have to pay the price for your hesitation."

Li Shuan's mind turned, and he immediately said: "Wait--"

The call has been disconnected.

Then someone next to him immediately said, "We haven't found the source of the call."

These were the technical personnel sent by the Public Security Department to provide support. They rushed over as soon as Li Shuan received the call. Li Shuan spoke slowly and silently just to buy them time to find Bai Ximing's specific address.

Li Shuan did not show any surprise when he heard this. He waved his hand tiredly: "It shouldn't be a normal phone. It must be a ghost call... What does he want to do?"

——

Chi Shen felt that he had spent a pleasant day. A day without work and only after get off work life, it must be a happy day.

This mood continued until he went to work the next day.

When it was almost time to get off work yesterday, Chi Shen actually woke up, but he was too lazy to move. He just took a quick look at how Ji Xingchen was helping him with his work and found that there were no problems at work. Although he just reorganized his previous plan, his efficiency was indeed much higher than his.

So Chi Shen was already thinking about how to convince Ji Xingchen to work one day with him, so that he could share the salary with Ji Xingchen based on the working hours. However, this was just an idea and he did not ask it directly.

When he arrived at the company, Chi Shen turned on his computer for ten minutes. He couldn't help it anymore. He reached into his own shadow and asked softly, "I want to tell you something. Each of us——"

"Chi Shen." Suddenly a voice interrupted him. It was a gentle girl's voice.

Chi Shen raised his hand as if nothing had happened and turned to look at the girl who was speaking. He recognized her. She was the receptionist at their company.

The girl lowered her head slightly. From Chi Shen's angle, he could only see the tips of her red ears. She spoke softly, "Um, are you free tonight? Thank you for your help yesterday. I...I want to treat you to a meal."

At the end of her speech, the girl at the front desk took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up great courage.

"I have an appointment tonight, sorry." Although Chi Shen didn't know what happened exactly, he still refused.

The girl at the front desk looked a little disappointed, but she nodded and left.

Chi Shen was not very familiar with the receptionist. They were just colleagues who nodded and said hello to each other normally. Or, for some reason, the receptionist seemed a little afraid of him. Although he had no emotional experience, he was very keenly aware at this moment that the person the receptionist wanted to date might not be him.

As soon as the girl at the front desk left, another female colleague came over. She was from the art team. She brought a beautiful little cake and put it on his desk: "Luckily you pointed out the painting mistakes in advance yesterday, otherwise I would be embarrassed. This is for you, thank you."

Chi Shen was a little familiar with this female colleague, but they were usually very close friends. This was the first time she saw him being so shy.

After the female colleague left, Chi Shen looked at the small cake on the table and fell into a long silence.

"What did you want to say?"

Chi Shen raised his head and saw Ji Xingchen leaning against his desk. Ji Xingchen, wearing a suit, looked like he had long legs and arms, and he was wearing glasses. When he pushed up his glasses, he looked like a gentleman.

Chi Shen didn’t pay much attention to these things before, but for some reason, he noticed them today.

"Oh, I said I want to eat Egg Foo Young tonight. What do you want to eat? We can each order a few dishes and eat together... Well, I'll help you eat." Chi Shen didn't even blink when he spoke.

"It's up to you to decide."

"Let me know what you like..."

"Well, let's have scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"Is it because you are the most comfortable doing this?"

“I really like to eat it.”

…

Chi Shen's days went on the same as before, as if nothing had happened, and he went to work and came home peacefully.

When getting off work, Chi Shen noticed that several female colleagues were looking at him vaguely. In the elevator, a boy who had not gotten along well with Chi Shen before but had kept his distance from him called him Brother Shen enthusiastically.

Chi Shen smiled and responded one by one. When he left the company and walked slowly on the way to the supermarket, he couldn't help asking, "What did you do yesterday?"

He just trusted Ji Xingchen too much. He never thought that just because Ji Xingchen helped him work for one day, so many people would change their attitude towards him. To Chi Shen, who had never managed interpersonal relationships, this was really too outrageous.

"I hardly said anything." Ji Xingchen's voice came from behind Chi Shen, like a whisper in his ear.

"My colleague..."

"She made a very low-level mistake, and I just pointed it out to her."

"front desk……"

"She was approached by a man. I saw that she looked very embarrassed, so I asked the man about his income and property situation, and he ran away."

“…Why are they asking about income and real estate?”

"If the purpose is to get married, first understand the financial situation of both parties to avoid a lot of future troubles. If the purpose is not to get married, then he is a scumbag who is not worth dating."

"Okay, there's also the new guy from the art team..."

"I don't know. I didn't talk to him yesterday. I just picked up a package for him."

When Ghost Face heard this, he couldn't help but say, "You call this doing nothing?!"

"These are all very common little things," Ji Xingchen said calmly, "not anything worth mentioning."

Chi Shen couldn't help but complain: "If you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the morning, the aunties will give you a small change and add two green onions, right?"

"That's true, but they work hard in business and you're not short of money, so I didn't take it."

Chi Shen: "...I'm tired. I'll take a nap. You go buy some groceries."

"good evening."
