The cleaning of low-level pollutants lasted for a few days, and Bai Yu's rating finally became C.
During these few days, the investigation into the strange mushrooms finally yielded some clues. The sphere of influence involved in these clues became larger and larger. It was no longer just a matter of Qinghe City, and was finally taken over by the executive officer of the Dongzhou region.
"So, after all this turmoil, isn't my brother still responsible in the end?"
After a few days of adjusting his emotions, Lin Mo finally accepted the fact that his brother was going to work for the Four Continents Alliance again.
"It's different. I won't be responsible for this kind of matter. Shen An will take over."
Chu Zehuai shook his head. He didn't want to be responsible for something that looked so troublesome and required dealing with so many people.
He is mainly responsible for removing high-level pollutants and deformers.
"That's right, you never like these things."
Lin Mo nodded, suddenly remembering when his brother just retired from the position of executive officer of Dongzhou District a year ago.
Chu Zehuai was not assigned to the position of team leader as soon as he returned. For the former executive officer, this position was a bit too low. At that time, the position of deputy director happened to be vacant, so Chu Yunrou let him try it first.
...
...
As a result, the next day, the logistics department and the investigation department had a quarrel over financial funding. The Linjiang City Investigation Bureau sent an invitation for exchange, and the public security department said that there was a missing case and they needed to cooperate in investigating it to see whether it was done by a human or a monster.
Chu Zehuai worked for less than three days before he couldn't stand so many trivial tasks and simply climbed out the window and ran away.
Later, he stayed in the position of director of the investigation department for three days. Finally, he became tired of the daily quarrels among the teams and quit his job, and ran away through the window again.
While others were rising, he allowed his position to fall.
If Chu Yunrou had not forced him to manage a team and maintain normal social relationships with normal people, Chu Zehuai would now be in a state of having no position.
Lin Mo sighed, remembering his brother's cold look when he just came back, showing that he was not interested in anything except fighting, and suddenly became worried.
They had spent a year to change his brother from a cold fighting machine into a person with a normal personality. This time when he returned, he wouldn't be changed back again.
However, compared to the worried Lin Mo, Shen An was in a much happier mood when he saw his former colleague return.
I even have time to invite them to a gathering as a treat.
The place where the executive officer is located is independent of all cities, named 'Dongting', not far from Qinghe City.
"Does this count as us taking advantage of Captain Chu's influence?"
Yuan Xue sighed as she looked at the gorgeous architectural patterns in the East Courtyard.
"Huh? He took my brother away, shouldn't he give us some compensation?"
Lin Mo, whose mood had calmed down, became irritable and depressed again when he saw Shen An.
Invite them to dinner, right?
Very well, I'll bankrupt you tonight.
Chu Yunrou's expression and emotional management were countless times better than her son's, but judging from the aura surrounding her, she should be in the same mood as her son.
The mother and her two children stared at the two people walking in front.
"I always have the illusion that I will be beaten with a sack at night."
Chen An rolled up his long black and white hair with his fingers. Without looking back, he could imagine the anger in the eyes of the mother and son.
"Then you should be prepared to make sacrifices."
Chu Zehuai thought that his aunt would definitely blame him for going back. If sacrificing Shen An could calm his aunt's anger, he would sell out his colleague without hesitation.
"After not seeing each other for a year, have we lost our common ground?"
A heartbroken expression appeared on Shen An's face.
"Do we have such a thing as the same thing?"
Chu Zehuai looked back calmly.
"If my aunt is still in this angry state, I will definitely sacrifice you first."
Shen An:........
**
**
Chu Yunrou managed to maintain her image in the end and did not beat Shen An on the spot.
She was just throwing cold eyes at the other person at the dinner, as if she wanted to cut Shen An into pieces.
The atmosphere among the senior executives was very solemn.
Instead, Bai Yu, who came along, was eating and drinking for free.
It was the first time he experienced the taste of the combination of Dongzhou region’s best ingredients and its best cooking methods.
This was also the first time I attended a private dinner of this kind that had special significance for humans.
To sum up, this dinner has two meanings.
One is to welcome Chu Zehuai back to the Four Continents Alliance. They will remember his contributions and express gratitude on behalf of the people of the entire Four Continents.
The other is to apologize to the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau. I'm sorry for robbing your nephew/brother/captain/ace. There's nothing I can do about it. Please forgive me.
"Remember to return my nephew intact and sound, understand?"
Chu Yunrou's metal fork made a sharp sound as it stabbed the ceramic plate.
"Okay, what happened in the past will never happen again, and I'm really sorry about it."
Chen An was forced to step back a little silently by the other party's murderous look, and at the same time he felt relieved.
Chu Yunrou's words meant that she agreed.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Mo say sarcastically, "Is your apology just words? I'm so tired of hearing it. It's just one sentence, but it feels so easy to say it."
Lin Mo said such a long string of sarcastic words. I thought this guy would be as thick-skinned as before and pretend not to hear it. Unexpectedly, Shen An actually pondered for a while.
"You do have a point. I'm sorry, I didn't think it through before."
Under the long black and white hair, the eyes looked to the side.
"I don't have anything particularly precious to give you, so how about this, I give you a prophecy?"
Before Chu Zehuai could say anything, Lin Mo came over and said, "Okay, predict my brother's future."
Shen An smiled and shook his finger: "No, this scope is too wide, and it involves many people and many forces. It's better to be a private matter with no impact."
"What? That means it's useless."
Lin Mo retreated in disappointment, and then as if he had thought of something, his mood became high again, and he stared at Shen An with a pair of shining eyes.
"Then can you predict my brother's emotional state?"
The sudden words successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"You——" Chu Zehuai looked shocked.
He really didn't expect his cousin to ask this question.
"Aren't you curious?"
Lin Mo counted on his fingers, then looked up.
"You're already 27 years old this year, which means you're almost 30 if we round it up. I'm really curious about what kind of girl can marry you - Ouch!"
With a thud, Lin Mo, who was full of anticipation, hadn't reacted yet before his head was forcibly pressed onto the dining table by Chu Yunrou.
But from the look in her eyes, she was also quite curious about this matter.
On the other side, Shen An has already started his prophecy.
All the eyes on his face were open, including the two silver eyes on his forehead.
Like an octagonal tube.
Eight eyes on the same face is obviously a very terrifying scene, but for some reason, it gives me an inexplicable sacred and ethereal feeling.
Bai Yu stopped eating and turned to look at Batong.
He was curious to see to what extent human prophets could predict.
The expression on Shen An's face turned into surprise.
Lin Mo's heart suddenly lifted up: "My brother...is he going to be alone for the rest of his life?"
Shen An shook his head.
So Lin Mo's guess drifted to a more serious level: "Could it be that he had already..."
With a bang, his head was pressed onto the table by Chu Yunrou again.
"Just shut up."
"Okay, mom."
Just a few minutes seemed as long as a century.
"Didn't it come out? It doesn't matter. It's not something very important anyway."
Chu Zehuai took a sip of wine and said in a low voice.
For some reason, after saying this, he felt inexplicably guilty and lowered his voice unconsciously.
Except for Chu Yunrou and Shen An who were standing next to them, no one else heard it clearly.
"It came out, but this is the first time I've seen such a result, a solid color block. I also predicted it several times, and they were all the same."
Chen An closed his extra six eyes, his facial expression was complicated, his words were no longer as steady as before, and the remaining two normal eyes looked over with unspeakable emotions in them.
"Chu Zehuai, your love and even your marriage are a piece of pure green."
Chu Zehuai:.........
Others: ......
**

If everyone hadn't stopped him, Shen An wouldn't have been able to walk out of this door today.
"Could your prediction be wrong? Even if my brother was... then there should be specific people and events, why is the screen full of green?"
Lin Mo wanted to struggle a bit more, he couldn't accept this fact.
Could it be that Shen An deliberately wanted to see them make a fool of themselves?
Seeing Lin Mo's thoughts, Shen An sighed: "I still have confidence in this level of prediction, and one of the principles of a prophet is that the content of the prediction must not be modified, distorted or hidden."
"ah......"
"And prophecy is different from what you imagine, where you can directly see the future scenes. I am just praying for some hints and clues about future events in the long river of time."
The hint that the future timeline gave him was all green. What could he do?
“I see.”
Lin Mo was like a wilted little bird, regretting making this suggestion. He walked to Chu Zehuai listlessly and comforted him,
"Brother, don't be sad. Believe that the future is not unchangeable."
Chu Zehuai moved his lips and was about to say something when he saw Lin Mo's eyes light up and he suddenly ran to a passing artificial fountain pool.
It was a gift from the 'Holy Tower' in the Xizhou region, a mermaid fountain carved from marble, with many carps swimming leisurely inside.
"Brother, it's a koi, come and make a wish, maybe your future love won't be green!"
As a loyal believer in koi who always spins koi pictures before taking exams, Lin Mo believes that koi will definitely bring good luck in the future.
"It's not a koi, it's a spirit carp."
Shen An pointed to a box next to the pool.
"There are quite a few special coins inside, and many people like to make wishes here."
“Is there a difference between the two?”
Lin Mo looked left and right and thought it was just an ordinary koi.
It seems like I need to be... a little fatter?
Bai Yu also came over.
Lingli, it sounds like something opposite to "pollutant".
"Spirit carp are very sensitive to their surroundings and can sense emotions that ordinary people cannot, especially those of sincerity or falsehood, kindness or malice. Otherwise, they are no different from ordinary koi."
Therefore, there are often many young couples coming here to toss coins and swear, and Dongting is also happy to make some extra money.
"So I can make a wish as a koi?"
Lin Mo grabbed a handful of special coins and stuffed them into Chu Zehuai's hands.
"Hurry up, brother, maybe the turning point in the relationship will come at this moment."
Chu Zehuai looked at the pile of coins in his hand:........
He himself didn't believe in such things, but when he saw Lin Mo's sparkling eyes filled with anticipation, he chose to stop aside.
Although Lin Mo sometimes speaks without thinking, loves to act recklessly, and always manages to make him angry, it is undeniable that the other person may be one of the few people in the world who truly cares about him.
"If you think so, then fine."
Chu Zehuai casually threw out a coin, as if completing a task, and said in a dry tone,
"I hope there will be no green in my future love."
Bai Yu didn't pay any attention to those who made wishes.
He looked down at the extremely plump carp and couldn't help swallowing.
It’s so fat, it must taste better than normal fish.
I really want to stew them in a pressure cooker, slurp——
So, at the moment the coin fell into the water, the carp in the pond felt not only the familiar special coin, but also the hidden greedy appetite hidden in the darkness.
With a "splash" sound, the water waves surged, and in the blink of an eye, all the spirit carps seemed to have sensed some terrifying existence and ran away without a trace, leaving behind only an area of gradually clear water for everyone.
Lin Mo: ......
Chu Zehuai:........
The former looked incredulous, while the latter looked indifferent.
"Well, brother, think positively. If you want to live a good life, you have to have some green on you."
