Chapter 13 Being His Grandfather
In the Yunlou office, silence spread.
The sound of turning pages seemed a little abrupt at first, but after reading the contents of the document, Li Xiaogou gradually forgot the existence of Yunlou.
until--
"Have you memorized it?" Yunlou stood up and asked.
He started to put on his combat uniform, apparently going on duty.
"Um."
Rote memorization is not Li Xiaogou's strong point, and he thought it would be difficult, but the content of this [Entertainment Circle Collapse Relationship Map] is too explosive, and the organizer has also carefully sorted it into categories. After reading it once, I memorized it unconsciously.
"Thanks."
"It's just work responsibility." Yunlou picked up the black long-handled umbrella at the foot of the table. "Just do your job well in the team. No need to engage in unnecessary socializing."
…
"I'm thanking you for letting Professor Yu tutor me privately."
Yunlou paused slightly.
"I've already submitted an application. You can use your supernatural powers on anyone on this collapsed relationship map when you take action."
"clear."
"What if we accidentally kill him?" Li Xiaogou followed Yunlou.
"Being prosecuted and then going to jail." Not many people dared to ask him this. Yun Lou smiled faintly in the corners of his eyes. "Try not to hurt anyone. Filing a report is very troublesome."
"Okay." Li Xiaogou agreed. He was surprised to find that Yunlou, who was not tall and rather thin, walked very fast. He had to quicken his pace to keep up. "Although what these people did is quite outrageous, it seems that it is not our responsibility. Should I find evidence of their building collapse and hand it over to the local police station?"
"You're being clever." Yun Lou paused at the corner of the stairs. The first floor above was the director's office, and below was the office area for Li Xiaogou and his colleagues. "The Special Investigation Bureau is not a place to keep paparazzi."
…
"Team Three has been tracking a criminal with superpowers for a long time. He was last seen in a neighborhood where many celebrities gather, and many of the people on this list live there. According to the intelligence gathered by Team Three, the criminal's superpower allows him to change his appearance, including his gender, at will. We suspect he might be among those on this list."
"My mission is to find him?"
"Yes." Yunlou nodded, "The criminal with superpowers is most likely from an underground organization.
The detailed information of the organization is waiting for you - I will tell you after you become a regular employee."
"I'm not a formal employee?!"
He was shocked. Is it so difficult to find a job these days?!
"Next time, read the contract carefully before signing it." Yun Lou said in a calm tone, "Agents across the border have seized intelligence that an underground organization is deliberately infiltrating the Daxia entertainment industry, attempting to gain control of the discourse."
"Lake City will host International Fashion Week next week, and many foreign celebrities will be arriving. According to intelligence, someone in the organization will try to assassinate one of these foreign celebrities and then turn the incident into a diplomatic incident."
No, I'm just a temporary worker. How can I deal with a diplomatic incident?
"The border is unstable right now, and many of the bureau's personnel have been assigned. The security level for celebrities is already high, and high-risk celebrities will be accompanied by experienced agents. The ones handed over to your new team will not be key targets."
Li Xiaogou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The mission objectives will be sent to you one day before departure."
"Okay." Li Xiaogou nodded.
He understood that it was necessary to prevent information from being leaked.
Yunlou turned his head to look at him: "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Although I'm a bit famous now, I don't have a big name, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get close to big stars."
He understands the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry. Those with good fashion resources are either famous or have connections, neither of which he can easily approach with his current status.
"The bureau will give you invitations to Fashion Week."
It is indeed a mysterious organization.
"Any questions?"
Li Xiaogou showed no sign of leaving, and Yunlou couldn't help but frown.
"The captain probably doesn't realize that an invitation is just an admission ticket. Most Chinese celebrities are overconfident. If you want to be looked up to, you need at least one of fame and fortune."
Yunlou was silent for a moment and seemed to sigh, but Li Xiaogou listened carefully and didn't catch any trace.
He took out a black bank card from his wallet and handed it to Li Xiaogou: "If you need any extra money, just use this."
Li Xiaogou's eyes gleamed as he took it with both hands, all his resentment towards Yun Lou vanishing. "Thank you, Captain! I have no problem now!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"etc."
Li Xiaogou had already walked down one flight of stairs. Looking up, he could only see half of Yunlou's profile. His thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, making him look even more tired.
"First, find yourself a place to live, and then buy yourself some decent clothes. You're in the entertainment industry, so you can't wear something too shabby when you go out."

After bidding farewell to Yunlou, Li Xiaogou headed straight for the residential complex closest to the Special Investigation Bureau.
Because of the horror legends that plague this area, housing prices are not high. A two-story duplex with a total area of 280 square meters only rents for 6,000 yuan a month.
He moved in that night.
In the few days before the mission, he was not idle. He bought clothes, did his styling, and dressed himself up inside and out.
When Mo Shang dragged two large suitcases into the house, he was stunned when he saw Li Xiaogou opening the door.
"Looks like a human being." He commented after a pause of three full minutes.
Li Xiaogou just took it as praise.
This operation consisted of a team of three: him, Mo Shang and Wang Bo.
The day after Mo Shang moved in, the two received a call from Wang Bo and drove to pick him up.
Wang Bo's residential complex is located in the city center, and the security is strict to the point of being harsh. After several rounds of inspections, he finally entered the complex. Just as he was about to get lost after wandering around in twists and turns, he heard a familiar bell-like roar from afar.
"You bastard, you've grown wings. You refused to join my team, and now you don't want to live at home. I'll beat you up!"
"Don't run, come here!"
…
The two followed the sound and quickly found Wang Bo's house.
"Hello, Captain Wang, we are here to pick up Wang Bo." Li Xiaogou stepped forward and interrupted Wang Zheng's parent-child interaction.
Wang Bo rushed to Li Xiaogou with tears in his eyes: "My dad is crazy, run quickly."
Mo Shang frowned and stood in front of Wang Zheng. "Captain Wang, we all admire your abilities, but beating and scolding a child in public, and using foul language, is against the rules of the Special Investigation Bureau. It's also uncivilized."
Wang Zheng raised his thick eyebrows, looked up and down at Mo Shang and Li Xiaogou, then retracted his gaze and said, "Uncivilized?"
"Once uncivilized words are out of your mouth, your heart will be clean."
"People like Yunlou are so polite in their words, but they're so dirty in their hearts!"
…
"Let's go, take this brat and get out!"
Wang Zheng waved his hand without looking at Wang Bo again.
On the way back, Mo Shang asked curiously, "How did you offend your dad?"
Wang Bo said aggrievedly, "He asked me to tell you the truth. Is it because of you that I insisted on joining Team One? He could have put you in Team Two as well. I said, actually, I think Team One is the strongest, and Team Yun is the most powerful among the four captains."
Li Xiaogou glanced at him and said, "It's not unfair."
Everyone gathered together and received information about the task target that night.
"Kim Jung-ho, a 22-year-old from North Korea, was originally a member of a North Korean boy band. After filming an idol drama that copied Daeha, he transitioned to acting."
Wang Bo curled his lips and said, "Thief, just look at the face of this young Niu Wufang and you're disgusting."
Li Xiaogou: "He will fly directly from Chaoguo to Huatai, and then transfer from Huatai to Shanghai. The bureau booked us a flight on the same flight as him."
Mo Shang: "If we want to get close to him, tomorrow's plane is a good opportunity."
*
"Is this the good opportunity you mentioned?" Wang Bo looked at Jin Zhenghao who was surrounded by more than 20 bodyguards and said contemptuously.
Mo Shang was also speechless.
Now Chaoguo's influence in Daxia is not as great as before. There were less than 20 fans seeing him off at the airport, and the bodyguards stood in a circle as if they were performing some kind of performance art.
Several people watched in silence as Jin Zhenghao was escorted by bodyguards and walked past them.
Suddenly, a fan who was waiting to pick up the girl at the airport was pushed by one of the bodyguards. The bodyguard was also a Korean. He said something that the three of them couldn't understand, but his expression was fierce and he didn't hold back. The girl fell to the ground and the camera lens was broken.
During the whole process, Jin Zhenghao didn't even raise his head.
Mo Shang frowned and helped the girl up: "Are you okay?"
The girl shook her head.
Wang Bo spat and said to the girl, "Go expose him, and we'll testify for you, make him apologize, and compensate you for the camera! You're really bullying people right at their doorstep! This is outrageous."
The girl raised her eyes, gave Wang Bo a look with a misty look, and shook off his hand: "Red clothes, you are a fan of your teammates, right? This is Stuff's fault. It has nothing to do with Guan Zhenghao. Don't even think about provoking me. Disgusting!"
Wang Bo kept supporting the girl until she ran away.
Xiaodao pulled the butt and opened his eyes.
In order to get close to them, the three of them booked first class.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road, and Wang Bo's position is actually next to Jin Zhenghao.
He reluctantly sat down, and before he could even warm up his seat, his manager, Jin Zhenghao, patted his shoulder and said, "Sasaeng fan? Please change seats."
Li Xiaogou grabbed Wang Bo who was about to go berserk.
"Don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one can replace you." Li Xiaogou lazily read the "relief poem" he saw on the Internet.
Mo Shang squinted his eyes: "You are adding fuel to the fire."
Li Xiaogou put away his phone: "I'm serious. You'll feel like it's a blessing in disguise later."
As he spoke, he sprayed a lot of perfume in front of him.
As soon as the plane took off, Li Xiaogou's words came true.
At first, there was only a slight stench that drifted to the back row, but then the smell became stronger and stronger.
Wang Bo stood up with his nose wrinkled, only to find that it was Jin Zhenghao who had taken off his shoes and was standing barefoot on the backrest of the front seat.
Li Xiaogou patted Wang Bo and handed him the phone.
Wang Bo:?
Li Xiaogou: "Don't you want to kill him? Film him. Film him and his agent who was vomiting in the seat next to him."
When Wang Bo took the phone, he found that Li Xiaogou had secretly filmed the moment he pushed someone at the airport.
Wang Bo shuddered as he looked down at his companion who had a calm face.
A beast in human form.
Mo Shang asked quietly, "Wang Bo has already offended his agent. How can we approach him later?"
Li Xiaogou pointed at the phone in Wang Bo's hand and said, "To get close, you can be his grandson or his grandfather."
