Half a month passed quietly, and a lot of things happened in these short fifteen days.
First, the Dongzhou Supervisory Council was formally established and merged with the Dongzhou Tribunal to become an organization that specializes in dealing with crimes committed by awakened people. Some personnel were withdrawn from the investigation bureaus in various cities, and Pu Feiyu was also transferred there. At the same time, the major investigation bureaus and the Supervisory Council signed cooperation agreements.
Second, as the weather gradually became hotter and midsummer arrived, Bai Yu also followed the normal laws of nature and successfully reached the blooming period. The fragrance of roses was no longer satisfied with surrounding him and Chu Zehuai, but permeated every corner of the office.
Fortunately, the ordinary rose potted plant placed between the two of them also had many flowers in bloom, so Bai Yu simply threw the pot on its head.
Third, Lin Mo had been recuperating in the hospital for a full half month, and now it was finally time for him to be discharged.
Fourth, the activities of the Glorious Cult are becoming more and more rampant. Not only have they openly released pollutants of different levels in various parts of the four continents, they have also openly admitted that the spore plague in South Continent and the inferno that burned a city to death were all related to them.
On the way back to the office after completing the mission, Bai Yu was discussing the Glorious Church with Xiang Yang in the system.
[Sunflower: Boss, I got a new list, which even contains two Class A pollutants, both of which were dumped in your Dongzhou. Attachment 1.pdf]
[Sunflower: Boss, let me tell you, the confidentiality level this time is very high. Rose didn’t find out anything at all. I got it by pretending to be a naughty child and secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between Chu Yunsheng and Dr. D. In the end, I was spanked by these two people. Boss, you must remember my contribution!]
[White Rose: Thank you, I understand. I will keep this in mind. Thank you for your hard work. (pat on the head) (love you)]
...
...
[Sunflower: Boss, you can actually send emojis now! (I love you too) (sticky)]
[Sunflower: Boss, I will go get some information for you right now. If you need anything, please contact the system directly.]
Sunflower was very excited to receive praise and affirmation from his boss. He sent several messages and emoticons to Bai Yu in a row. After showing off to Rose, he went to inquire about the news again.
Bai Yu ended their conversation, and the system suddenly spoke again.
【After many twists and turns, you finally took this path. 】
The system sighed.
【What? 】
[Do you remember the first time I encountered Sunflower in Nanzhou? At that time, I was thinking, if we let it turn people into sunflowers, and then we can "find a way" to find the people and turn them back, wouldn't it be a perfect trap? ]
[I seem to have some impression.]
[Yes, but you rejected this method that could earn high rewards without any effort and would not be discovered. Unexpectedly, a year later, this method appeared in another form.]
In the system's view, what Bai Yu is doing now is not much different from what it originally proposed.
The Glorious Cult released pollutants, Rose and Sunflower sent the list over, and Bai Yu then took on the tasks one by one according to the list.
Because the level and capacity of the pollutants are known in advance, it is particularly easy to solve and takes very little time.
In just half a month, Bai Yu's reputation in the Investigation Bureau increased again.
[It’s different. The Glorious Church is not ours. They might even become a hostile force in the future.]
Bai Yu listened to the system's explanation and twitched his lips.
However, I have to say that judging from the process and results alone, they are indeed quite similar.
Bai Yu wanted to say something to the system when he saw Chu Zehuai, who looked cold-blooded, coming back from the mission.
When the latter saw Bai Yu, he quickened his pace and was walking side by side with the plant in a few seconds.
The blood was masked by the strong scent of roses.
"Did you just come back from a mission?"
Bai Yu twitched his nose, and when he didn't smell the familiar sweet smell of blood, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not really. It was done an hour ago. It was a scorpion contaminant with a four-pointed star mark. Afterwards, the hospital said Lin Mo could be discharged, so I went to the hospital. However, when I arrived, the guy had already left."
"Then he should have gone home or back to the office."
The man and the plant walked towards the office while chatting, until they saw the white wooden door that was closed in the past opened wide, and a familiar black figure spun and jumped inside, and then sat down on the workstation.
"Hey, work! I haven't satisfied your hunger and thirst for half a month. Do you want daddy to work overtime? Let me touch your sensitive salary slip...ah? How come you only get such a small amount of salary?"
Lin Mo's voice gradually changed from perverted excitement to desperate wails.
The two outside: ........
Chu Zehuai touched his forehead. He simply didn't want to be related by blood to this man with a sexy smile and strange thoughts in the office.
A few seconds later, Chu Zehuai, who had calmed down, stepped into the office and answered Lin Mo's cry: "That's because you haven't worked for half a month, so it's impossible for your salary to be high."
Lin Mo's face turned pale instantly when he realized that his crazy words had been heard completely.
In just one minute, he went from wailing in despair to being petrified.
"Hey, brother, listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to make dirty jokes in the work area-"
Lin Mo's wings drooped behind him. Under the gaze of Chu Zehuai's golden-orange eyes, he shrank his neck and moved behind Bai Yu step by step like a quail.
In this situation, the only safest person is behind his good friend Bai Yu.
"Come out here."
Chu Zehuai crossed his arms across his chest, looking at the timid Lin Mo, feeling both angry and amused.
Why didn’t I think he would hear me when I was shouting in the office?
"Well, it's not a big deal, just go back to work."
Bai Yu was sandwiched between the two of them, holding his forehead helplessly.
"Got it. Next time, be careful with your words. It's not a big deal if I hear them, but I'm afraid it will get out. I don't know how many eyes are staring at us right now."
Chu Zehuai was about to say something when he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.
He took a look, sighed, and walked out of the office again, leaving a sentence "The director wanted to talk to me about something, I guess there is some other task." Then he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
After watching his brother leave, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his seat, and instantly returned to his previous state.
He pulled his chair to Bai Yu's position, his black eyes sparkling, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, tell me quickly, has anything interesting happened in the bureau during the fifteen days I was away?"
Bai Yu's mouth twitched. "No, everyone is very busy with their missions. I am not too interested in gossips about other teams. I just know that the number of pollutants with the Glorious God Cult that everyone has cleared is increasing."
Of course, part of it was also his credit, as he specifically took on the tasks according to the list given by Rose and Sunflower.
Lin Mo curled his lips: "This is not interesting, Xiaobai, let's chat for a while, just a little while, I promise it won't affect your work."
During the fifteen days he was in the hospital, many people came to visit him because of his good popularity. However, most of them were colleagues who had work to do. They would leave a flower or fruit basket to greet him and then hurried back to their jobs. No one could chat with him to relieve his boredom.
Grandpa Chu wanted to come and see his grandson, but Chu Yunrou declined with the reason that "you shouldn't walk so far when you are old."
So Lin Mo had a very boring fifteen days, even more boring than doing missions all the time.
No entertainment, no gossip, no friends, not even much exercise.
"Then let's chat for five minutes."
Bai Yu thought of his best friend's miserable appearance lying on the hospital bed, and how he cared about him before he died, and his heart softened for a moment.
One person and one plant began to slack off in the office for a short time.
Most of the time, Lin Mo was asking questions and Bai Yu was answering them. The questions were varied and it all depended on where Lin Mo's wild and imaginative thoughts wandered.
"Did Team Yue and Team Li quarrel again?"
Lin Mo looked to the left, as if he wanted to see the offices of the second and eighth teams directly through the thick white walls.
"Yes, they quarreled in the corridor last time. Almost everyone in the investigation bureau saw it."
Bai Yu recalled and said, thinking for a while and then added,
"Captain Li started it. I don't know what he said when he passed by Captain Yue, but Captain Yue flew into a rage and chased Captain Li in the corridor, but he didn't hit him. The two of them ran from the door of the eighth team to the door of the second team, and then they were called to the director's office together."
"Hehe, I knew that the two of them would never live in peace for more than ten days. When I get a chance, I'll go find someone to ask Captain Li what he said."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with gossip, and then he asked the next question,
"Xiaobai, after seven days of getting along, what do you think of the young version of my brother?"
“Cute and cool.”
Bai Yu recalled the appearance of the young version of Chu Zehuai, and his expression softened for a moment.
"Oh, so what do you think of my brother now?"
"Hmm...it's quite warm."
Bai Yu touched his chin and gave this answer.
As they chatted, the other two couldn't help but hear some of it.
Yuan Xue nodded. Although Captain Chu looked cold and stern, he was really warm-hearted to the people he cared about.
Yanran nodded. Chu Zehuai's temperature, which was higher than that of ordinary people, was indeed hot.
Only Lin Mo suddenly had a brain twitch, and he came up to Bai Yu and asked in a voice that he thought was very quiet but could actually be heard by the entire office: "Xiao Bai, is this Nuan you are talking about serious?"
After saying this, he made a gesture with his hands that only adults would understand.
Bai Yu: ......
Yuan Xue covered her face. Why didn't this guy think about this when he should, and always had wild thoughts when he shouldn't.
Yan Ran raised her eyes to look at Chu Zehuai who was standing at the door with his arms folded across his chest, and silently lit a candle for Lin Mo.
By the way, has Dark Night Crow really awakened some debuff that states 'anyone who says bad things about his brother will be heard by the real boss'?
One minute later.
"Brother, didn't you say it's okay if you heard me? Ah - I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me in the face, help me, Xiaobai, help me -"
