Sijiu City, the headquarters of the Supernatural Bureau.
Deputy Director's Office.
Wang Cheng hung up the phone and said with a gloomy expression, "Director Lei, just as you predicted, the military in Henan Province has taken action. What should we do?"
"Then let's let that kid go for now." Lei, who was sitting behind a desk, crossed his legs and looked nonchalant.
"give up?"
"Originally, this was just a play. Speaking of which, Comrade Lao Zhou should thank me. Otherwise, it would have been just like his previous life, where he was blindly bullied by a fake, and in the end, all his luck was taken away."
"What if that kid from the Zhou family is really a variable?" A dark light flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes.

Lei Xiangqian raised an eyebrow, seemingly oblivious to the other party's instigation, and said with a smile, "Wang Cheng, those who accomplish great things must first be shrewd and patient. If I hadn't been so radical at the beginning, the Ability Bureau wouldn't have been divided into three parts by Zhang. We achieved results in the battle just now, but Long Xunhai also contributed to this achievement."
Last time, you forged an imperial decree, and you screwed me over badly. Now, I'm facing the entire Chinese upper echelons, except for Zhang. "Idiot, isn't it good to be a local tyrant? The Supernatural Bureau is a place where ordinary people can't even get their hands on it. You've made such a big fuss that I'm in trouble now. You put me on fire and handcuffed me, so don't blame me for dragging you into this."
“…”
"Wang Cheng, what are you afraid of?" Lei Xiangqian asked curiously, "Does the Zhou family have an heir to the throne? After the succession, they can arrest all of you as traitors? Even if Zhou Yan is the variable, he must first return to the Zhou family, demonstrate his abilities, and then find a way to enter the Ability Bureau and make a name for himself..."
“…”
"Will you let him shine, or will Zhang Jianguo let him shine? Even if he's blessed with talent and escapes your schemes, his path to success is essentially over just because he was tricked into sleeping with a second-rate guy. The Zhou family only has one old man now. If he dies, which Zhou family do you think will be next?"
"..." The words woke Wang Cheng up from his dream, and his expression was shocked.
☆
Lei Xiangqian acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued, "Wang Cheng, don't always act like a frightened bird. You're from the Supernatural Bureau. If you keep up this behavior, I won't be able to take you on this mission."
"Director, I won't do that anymore." Wang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that although Lei Xiangqian seemed careless, he knew all the conspiracies and tricks clearly.
"Okay, go and get ready, and we'll go meet the biggest variable." Lei Xiangqian squinted and looked out the window.
"Bang, bang, bang—" There was a rapid knock on the door. Before the person inside could speak, the office door was suddenly pushed open. A young man wearing the current green military uniform came running in and said, "Director Lei, something happened."
Lei Xiangqian and Wang Cheng looked at the newcomer together, waiting for what to say next.
The man took a breath and continued, "That bastard Zhang Jianguo has arranged for people in Henan Province. Just now, news came from Henan Province that the garrison of the Henan Provincial Capital has departed for Luohe County. This wouldn't be a big deal, but Zhang Jianguo said someone discovered a monster in the mountains over there that can steal people's brains, so he sent Director Long over there as well."
Pick out people's brains?
Lei Xiangqian's expression changed. "This is bad. I did all this just to prevent Long Xunhai from getting into trouble. Damn it, Wangcheng, count the number of people and we're leaving immediately."
"But..." The young man who had just entered had a troubled expression. "Director Zhang, they said the Russians in the north are attacking again, and they want you to go there and garrison there."
"Fuck the MMB, tell the higher-ups, I've done so much, and this is the only time I'll do it. Let's go."

"Am I just not lucky enough to make money?" Xiao Yu had only just begun to question his life when he arrived in the ancient capital of eight dynasties. He and Zhou Yanzhi had been escaping underground all the way here. If this were a novel, they would have become incredibly wealthy. Why hadn't they even seen a penny?
They just had a quick lunch at noon, and he was planning a big meal tonight.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan looked at Xiao Yu curiously. Comrade Xiaoyu seemed to be very resentful at the moment?
Xiao Yu opened his mouth, but finally took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote, "Did you find any gold, silver, or treasure on the road that you didn't tell me?"
Huh? Zhou Yan was stunned. Not to mention that he had been taught since childhood not to take a single needle or thread from the people. What did Comrade Xiaoyu mean by this?
"You really found it, and you didn't tell me?" Xiao Yu was so shocked that he even forgot to write. Although he was patriotic, he couldn't completely 'not pick up lost items on the road'. At least if it was buried underground, he felt that taking some would not be shattering his inner values! But Mr. Zhou used to be rich, but now he is so poor, how could he still stick to his original intention?
Zhou Yan shook his head: "No, I didn't see it."
Really? Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with doubt.
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly. "We're walking so fast, we probably won't be able to see it, right?" They had left the provincial capital at around 4:00 PM and had stopped at several local temples on the way here. It was now past 5:00 PM. Even if they did pass by a treasure trove of gold and silver, they probably would have just passed by and had no time to pay any attention.
Xiao Yu thought about his speed along the way and couldn't help feeling depressed.
Zhou Yan was amused by his appearance. "It doesn't matter. This ancient capital of eight dynasties must have gold, silver and treasures left behind by corrupt officials in history. If you want them, we will go look for them after dinner. Didn't you say that this time, we should search the Earth God Temple as well?"
Xiao Yu nodded, then picked up the notebook: "It's still early, let's go eat something delicious. I don't know what delicious food is here?"
