Twelve feathers
After all, it is in a residential building, and residents may pass by occasionally. It is quite uncivilized to block the staircase here.
"Come in first." Su Mo stepped aside and let Ye Linghan into the house.
The difference from the last time was that this time Ye Linghan was not sitting in the interrogation room to be interrogated, and Yao Qingluan was also considerate enough to pour him a glass of water.
Compared to the two interviewers' restraint, Ye Linghan was very familiar with the situation because he had many interview experiences. Even though he failed in the end because someone disagreed, he had developed strong psychological qualities.
"Are you short of money?" Su Mo asked doubtfully as he looked through Ye Linghan's resume.
I had underestimated him before, thinking he was just an ordinary person. I didn't expect him to be a top student of Q University. However, there was a blank in his resume from graduation to now. This made Su Mo interested in the person in front of him.
Ye Linghan shook his head, "I'm not short of money."
Su Mo handed his resume to Yao Qingluan, who was sitting next to him, and looked up at Ye Linghan. "You're not short of money, and with your education, why would you apply for a cleaning job? Besides..." Su Mo paused, raised his hand, and gestured around: "Look, there are only two of us here."
What this means is that they don't need cleaning staff at all because there is no need for it.
Ye Linghan had anticipated this the night before and guessed that they were not really looking to recruit workers, but he also didn't really want the job. He just wanted to sneak in and investigate secretly.
He knew that he had already been involved and there was no way he could stay out of it. If he could really get into the Blood Hunters, both in terms of resources and manpower, it would be faster than investigating secretly on his own.
"In that case, I'm short of money. I really need money!" Ye Linghan did a 360-degree turn, his face full of sincerity.
"Uh..." Su Mo raised his eyebrows, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Did your family go bankrupt?"
Yin Chen's reputation was damaged, and rumors spread like wildfire while he was in the company.
"Huh?" Ye Linghan's face was full of question marks.
"Pfft." Qingying Luan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, but then he realized that the situation seemed a little strange, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
This is indeed the train of thought of her straight brother.
Su Mo seemed to realize that his words were a bit offensive and coughed lightly.
"How about this." Su Mo said: "You don't have to do any cleaning. Last time I saw that you have some understanding of the vampires and are quite courageous. Why don't you join us and help us investigate."
Ye Linghan was delighted when he heard this. He didn't expect that what he wanted could be obtained without any effort. What Su Mo said was exactly what he wanted, but Ye Linghan still maintained a calm expression on the surface so that they could not see through his thoughts.
"Brother, isn't this against the rules? We rashly recruit someone we don't know at all. What if the information is leaked?" Yao Qingluan looked at Su Mo with difficulty.
Yao Qingluan's worries were unfounded, and Ye Linghan also expressed his understanding. After all, they were not related, and had not been recommended through formal channels. In addition, it involved the vampire forces around him, which was a very tricky matter in itself. It was okay for them to be cautious.
After hearing what Yao Qingluan said, Su Mo pondered for a moment. He first reached out and patted Yao Qingluan on the shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry." Then he looked up at Ye Linghan and said, "How about this, we don't have many cases at the moment, so I'll give you a three-month trial period. If you perform well, you can officially join. Otherwise, I'm sorry."
Ye Linghan naturally had no objections. As long as he could get what he wanted, he would do anything. He patted his chest and said, "No problem. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Su Mo smiled slightly, changing his usual cold expression. Ye Linghan had never seen Su Mo smile, but it should be said that there was a bit of charm in his smile.
But what he said next dispelled the thought that had only existed for a second, "But you can't start work today."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because you don't have an ID card yet, we need to make one for you. So please come back tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock to complete the onboarding procedures."
Ye Linghan was shocked. "There are also procedures and work ID cards?"
If Ye Linghan had not dealt with the two before, anyone would probably think that this was a very unprofessional and irregular studio after just one meeting.
Su Mo glared at Ye Linghan and replied coldly, "Of course! We are just a few in number, but we are very professional."
"Oh." Ye Linghan said that he could only believe it reluctantly, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that he would be able to start work soon.
On the way home, passing by a convenience store, he looked through the glass at the colorful drinks in the freezer, and a wonderful idea came to his mind.
Ye Linghan laboriously carried a large bag of various kinds of wine back home and sat down on the sofa. He turned on his mobile phone and saw a pitch-black avatar occupying the only top position on his phone.
"Are you coming back tonight?"
Ye Linghan hesitated for a long time and pressed the send button.
The black avatar with the note "YC" quickly replied: "OK."
Good? What the hell! Whether you reply or not, at least give a straight answer. What's the point of just saying "good"?
Ye Linghan put down his phone angrily. Although he had long been accustomed to Yin Chen's indifference, after not seeing him for two days, he always felt a sense of emptiness in his heart for no reason.
Ye Linghan stood up, wanting to find something to fill his empty heart.
Yin Chen's working hours are often irregular. Most of the time, Ye Linghan doesn't know when he will come back, sometimes early and sometimes late.
But since he had replied today, he thought he would come back.
In order to welcome Yin Chen, he took out two steaks from the refrigerator to thaw. He usually had a private chef to cook for him, so he had never cooked for Yin Chen himself and didn't know his taste.
After the steak thawed, Ye Linghan deliberately kept one piece of it to preserve its more original taste, that is, it still had red liquid on it. He had some knowledge of this. When the steak was not cooked through, the red liquid on it was called myosin, but because it looked similar to blood, Ye Linghan just assumed it was blood.
He walked out of the kitchen carrying a beautifully presented steak, and heard the door open. Then Yin Chen, dressed in black, walked in.
His silver-white wolf tail draped over his shoulders contrasted sharply with his black windbreaker, but it did not look out of place with his impeccably cool face.
As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty, and Ye Linghan is no exception. When he suddenly saw a handsome face entering his sight, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds until Yin Chen spoke to break the silence.
In the few seconds of being stunned, Yin Chen had already taken off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. His shirt sleeves were simply rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.
He looked at the plate of beef in Ye Linghan's hand, which was roughly estimated to be only rare, and fell into deep thought, "You don't think we vampires like to eat raw meat with blood on it, do you?"
"No, no." Ye Linghan was still fascinated by the beauty of the person in front of him and was answering randomly.
"Remember to cook it medium rare next time, and I'm only interested in your blood." Yin Chen took the plate from his hand and placed it on the dining table with familiarity.
"Oh, okay." Ye Linghan nodded dully.
"Why did you think of drinking?" Yin Chen had noticed a pile of colorful wine bottles on the table. He picked up a bottle and played with it while looking at it.
"Oh, yes!" Ye Linghan came back to his senses and walked to Yin Chen's side, "Because I found a job!" His tone was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.
Ye Linghan stuck close to Yin Chen. Because there was a table in front of him, he couldn't communicate with Yin Chen face to face, so he could only put his hands on the table and twist his upper body to talk to him. His posture was a little intimate, like the action that young lovers would do when they were acting coquettishly.
"Oh?" Yin Chen raised an eyebrow, lowered his eyes to look at Ye Linghan who was very close to him, and raised his lips slightly, "Tell me about it."
Ye Linghan couldn't hide the smile on his face. "I passed the interview at the Secret Investigation Agency!"
Yin Chen frowned when he heard this, "Are you short of money?"
Eh? Did they have a plan? The rhetoric was surprisingly identical.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Are you free?" Yin Chen asked back
Ye Linghan blinked, "Aren't you happy for me? This time I'm not looking for a job related to pharmacology."
"I'm free?"
He is so old-fashioned that he must have no emotional value!
Ye Linghan remained silent, only complaining silently in his heart.
He simply stopped talking, pulled out a chair, and asked Yin Chen to sit down. Then he sat opposite Yin Chen, opened a can of beer and handed it to him. He bought many kinds of wine, including a fruit-flavored liquor with a concentration of more than 40%. He didn't know if mixing them would make people drunk.
Realizing that what he said was unpleasant, Yin Chen took the initiative to change the subject, "You want to drink with me? Nothing else?"
After two sips of alcohol, Ye Linghan felt a warm sensation in his stomach. He put down the bottle, thought for a moment, and then raised it again. "Yes, I just saw that you haven't been home for a long time, so I wanted to have a meal with you."
He is not a cold-faced man who is unyielding.
Yin Chen didn't refuse. He picked a purple bottle at random, clinked glasses with Ye Linghan's grape-flavored cocktail, and took a sip.
There's a chance! Mr. Yin rarely drinks, so if he's willing to drink with me this time, there's a chance I can get him drunk.
Ye Linghan was aware that he could hold his liquor quite well. After all, he never got drunk every time he blocked the drinking for him, except for the last time, which was just an accident. So he firmly believed that Yin Chen's alcohol tolerance was not as good as his. People often say that the truth comes out after drinking, so it would be much easier to get him drunk and then ask him what he wanted to know.
He was very obsessed with whether the person who sent him back the day before was Yin Chen. This happened to be a good excuse to get him drunk.
"Why join them?"
Ye Linghan knew he couldn't lie to him, and also knew the consequences of lying to him, so he didn't hide anything. "I want to know the whole story."
As he came into contact with more CLY-20, the dreams in his mind developed more and more rapidly. He always believed that this dream was not just a dream, but very likely a revelation, so he thought CLZ-20 was a good breakthrough.
Yin Chen clasped the top of the wine bottle with one hand, frowned slightly, and said in a not-so-nice tone, "Why do you always want to push yourself into the fire pit? Isn't it better to live a good life?"
Ye Linghan expected Yin Chen to have such a reaction. He could feel that from the very beginning, Yin Chen seemed to be very disgusted with his involvement in the affairs of the vampire clan and rarely mentioned it in front of outsiders.
At first, he just thought that Yin Chen was interested in him because of his identity, and that he was just a blood slave who provided him with a matching blood source, and his identity was not worth mentioning. But when Ye Linghan went to college and chose his favorite major, Yin Chen actually tried to obstruct him in every possible way.
So much so that during his later internship, Yin Chen stopped him from doing so on the grounds that he was afraid that the chemicals would contaminate Ye Linghan's blood.
Therefore, judging from all the signs, Yin Chen was not stopping himself because of his identity, which further stimulated his desire to find the truth.
"But I have the ability to protect myself." Ye Linghan rarely took a tough stance. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yin Chen seemed to be interfering in him too much. Even though he was raised by Yin Chen since he was a child, he was fully capable of protecting himself at this moment and did not need to be restricted at all.
"What kind of protection do you have? What can you do when facing someone much more powerful than you? Moreover, if you face the vampires directly, how will you respond if they use their supernatural powers on you?"
"Or will it be like last time, where you get beaten up and then rely on me to save you? Have you ever thought about what would have happened to you if Yinster hadn't arrived in time, if you hadn't come with me?"
"I..." After hearing what Yin Chen said, Ye Linghan lowered his eyes to look at the wine in his hand that was opened but not touched, and the slightly cold steak beside it.
Yes, how could he protect himself? Even if he was good at snatching, ordinary pistols were ineffective against vampires, and he didn't have many useful magic weapons. Could it be that, as Yin Chen said, there was no other way?
"Sigh..." Seeing Ye Linghan's worried look, Yin Chen's tone softened. "Forget it, I won't care about you this time. If you want to try, go ahead. I'll always be there for you."
He finally softened his heart and was helpless. Maybe it was time to let go.
Ye Linghan suddenly looked up at Yin Chen, his heart filled with mixed emotions and his eyes filled with disbelief. However, Yin Chen ignored him, took a sip of his wine, and said coldly, "What the hell is this? It's so hard to drink."
