Two days later, Du Heng called Lu Yuan again.
"Alright, I've already contacted Sister Xia. You can just go find him directly. Everything's settled, and he won't do anything to you again!"
Lu Yuan was secretly puzzled: "Since you've already made arrangements, why are you still asking me to meet him? You've already acted as a middleman and settled things, so there's no need for us to meet again!"
Du Heng smiled and said, "That's just because he's not planning to harm you anymore out of respect for me. But he's quite interested in you, he'll just ask some questions. Don't worry, just do your best!"
After chatting casually for a while, Lu Yuan hung up the phone and went to the search team's office building at the address given by the other party.
When Lu Yuan got downstairs, two security guards stopped him.
"What do you want? Who are you looking for?" The other person's tone revealed a hint of wariness as he stared at Lu Yuan from head to toe and asked.
Lu Yuan said with a smile, "Yes, I'm here to see Sister Xia. Just tell her that I'm here to see her!"
The security guard nodded and then told Lu Yuan to wait again before going upstairs to find Sister Xia. Just then, a head popped up upstairs and said to Lu Yuan, "Lu Yuan, come up!"
Lu Yuan looked up and saw a woman with a ponytail, very sexy lips, and light makeup. Lu Yuan recognized her at a glance; it was Sister Xia. She stretched her head out from the building and waved to Lu Yuan.
The gatekeeper then let Lu Yuan in without worry.
Upon arriving at the building, Lu Yuan finally saw her again. It wasn't that Lu Yuan was afraid of her, but rather that he didn't want his family to be implicated. After all, when he learned that this woman had a powerful force behind her, he knew that his current abilities were absolutely no match for her. If he angered the survivor base behind her, it could bring him endless trouble.
Xia Jie was sitting in the office with her legs crossed, her long, white legs swaying under her short skirt. Lu Yuan was momentarily distracted by her appearance. A cigarette jingled in her hand, and Lu Yuan said, "Sit wherever you like!"
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and found a seat. She glanced around the room and saw several potted plants and a large desk with many folders on it. Behind her was a cabinet with a pair of high heels next to it, which clearly belonged to the other person.
Xia Jie stared at Lu Yuan for a while and asked, "You're really something, managing to get all the way here. It seems you have a good relationship with Du Heng! He actually helped you get in. You know, it's incredibly difficult for people outside to get anything done for you."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded: "He's alright, just a college classmate! The main thing is that he's more capable!"
However, Lu Yuan was now very interested in Du Heng. He hadn't expected this woman to value Du Heng's reputation so much. Clearly, Du Heng was now very powerful, even to the point that a faction in the survivor base was giving him face.
"By the way, aren't you interested in why I targeted you? Don't you hate me?" A playful glint flashed in the other person's eyes as they stared at Lu Yuan and asked.
Lu Yuan sneered, "Hate? Of course I hate! But I don't hate now! After all, it's an honor for me to be remembered by such a beautiful woman. Fortunately, you used *** last time. If you had used real guns, hehe!"
Xia Jie stubbed out her cigarette and changed her sitting posture, but the view under her skirt kept flashing. Lu Yuan even thought that she was deliberately trying to entice him to commit a crime. However, when he thought about how this woman had actually put her arm around Wang Kuan's man in order to get his information, he immediately lost interest in her.
"My name is Xia He, but they all like to call me Sister Xia. Do you know why?" The other person slowly stood up, walked up to Lu Yuan, gently pinched Lu Yuan's shoulder with her fingers, and whispered in his ear.
Lu Yuan felt a slight physical reaction when he heard the other person breathing softly in his ear, but he immediately suppressed it and said, "Is it because you are powerful enough to intimidate them and complete tasks that men cannot?"
Sister Xia smiled and said, "That's only part of the reason. The main reason is that I used to work in the intelligence department! I was mainly responsible for interrogation!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, especially when the other person's fingers seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against his neck. Lu Yuan even had the urge to immediately turn over and subdue her, but he restrained himself.
"The intelligence department? Well! As expected, beautiful women all love to torment people!"
Xia He covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then seemed to be talking to herself as she said, "Oh right, I haven't told you why I arrested you yet! Aren't you interested?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "If you're really willing to tell me, I'd be quite interested. But if you're not planning to tell me, then no matter how interested I am, you won't tell me, right?"
Xia He sighed and said, "You have no sense of propriety at all! Fine! I'll slowly tell you why I'm interested in you!"
After saying that, Xia He returned to her seat and lit a cigarette.
"When we received the transfer order, we were tasked with checking out some well-known and capable people in Qingshui City. The rat traps you produced at the time caught my attention, so we secretly observed you for a while. It was during this time that we discovered that you had so much grain in your house. In order to get closer to you and find out the reason for the matter, we tried many times, but we failed!"
Later, by chance, our people heard about a riot and went to quell it, but unexpectedly encountered Wang Kuan. So we cooperated with him. I didn't expect you to actually prevent them from returning, which is why I wanted to arrest you and question you!
Lu Yuan smiled, his emotions still centered on the food supply. He immediately said, "Alright! It seems having too much food isn't always a good thing! But I can tell you, I used to be a proponent of apocalyptic themes, so I stockpiled a lot of food at home early on. But there must be many people like me, so why are you targeting me?"
"This is mainly because you have a very high performance rating in the police system; several officers gave you very high scores!"
Lu Yuan was immediately surprised, then he remembered that he had saved the two policemen, and suddenly he understood.
The two chatted for a while longer, and finally, Lu Yuan felt that there was nothing more to say between them, so he said he was going to leave. But the other person suddenly called Lu Yuan back.
"Wait a minute, there's something else I haven't said yet!"
Lu Yuan turned around and looked at Xia He in surprise, only to see a hopeful expression on her face.
"Um...you go ahead and say it!"
Xia He pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you want to join us? I mean, become our informant and provide us with intelligence!"
Lu Yuan was incredulous after hearing this.
"Um...an informant? Are you doing espionage?"
