Whether judging from the name or the similarities between his eyebrows and eyes and Chu Zehuai's in the photo, the other party should have a certain kinship with the Chu family.
Plants have never had any relatives, let alone relatives, they have never even seen their parents.
Bai Yu was somewhat curious about the relatives of the Chu family, so in the next few days, he kept paying attention to the people around him, but he did not find the [Chongming Bird] that Xiang Yang mentioned.
Come to think of it, Qinghe City is so big, with so many residents, the other party might not come to Qinghe City for the Investigation Bureau. His apparent identity is just an ordinary investigator, so it is unlikely that he would meet him.
Even if you meet someone, they may not notice you.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu returned to his daily life and focused on his own affairs.
The salary he had accumulated over the past few days was enough for the down payment on a small house in the suburbs of Qinghe City. Together with the provident fund of Qinghe City investigators, it was enough to buy this small house.
Before I learned how to live like a human being, I had to learn how to bear a 30-year mortgage like a human being.
With the pressure of a thirty-year loan, Bai Yu's slacking off dropped dramatically in frequency. Not only did he work overtime to write financial subsidy applications and task reports, he also often worked overtime to do some cleanup work.
His current level has reached B, which is enough for him to do some tasks alone.
...
...
Time passed like this as Bai Yu sorted out the moving matters and worked. His salary increased and his work became busier and busier.
Qinghe City Investigation Bureau.
“I feel like you’re very busy right now.”
Lin Mo held his chin with his hand and looked at Bai Yu who was writing furiously on the table.
Apart from work, these days he either stays at work or at home and gets bored.
His mother, who had been strong all her life, forced him to stay in these two places and strictly forbade him and his good friends to go to major entertainment streets.
Lin Mo was growing mushrooms at home, while his mother was sitting beside the bed in silence, or holding a locked photo album, wondering what she was thinking about.
After Bai Yu finished writing this article, he signed his name at the end of the document:
"No matter how busy he is, he's not as busy as Captain Chu. I haven't seen him much in the past few days. Is he on a business trip to another continent again?"
Compared with the employees in the Investigation Bureau, the workload of the Dongzhou regional executive has increased exponentially. Not only do they have to take care of major matters within the Dongzhou region, but they also have to occasionally go to other regions to provide support.
"No, I heard my mom scolding my brother last time. She said that if he went to Dongzhou, he would definitely come back injured. She said that there were still so many things to deal with in Dongzhou. She asked him to finish the tasks in the continent first and postpone the rest as much as possible. Even if he was on a business trip, he should go to other cities in Dongzhou."
Lin Mo stretched out his arms and lay on the desk, thought for a while and said.
After Chu Zehuai resumed his post as the executive officer of Dongzhou District, he left the island twice.
One time, he went to Nanzhou to clean up pollutants, and when he came back, he almost lost control and turned red. Another time, he took everyone to Xizhou for exchanges and studies, and a series of dangerous things happened again.
Even after so many days, Lin Mo still felt a little scared when he thought about the thrilling communication journey.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Mi's owner wants to come and see Xiao Mi, and he needs to be taken for a walk outside. He needs someone to accompany him. Do you want to try?"
After all, Xiao Mi is a pollutant, so she must be watched by an investigator. Last time it was him, but this time it will be handed over to Bai Yu. It will be a good opportunity for him to go out and relax and have a rest.
Lin Mo skillfully found the equipment for walking Xiao Mi from the wooden cabinet. He put a collar around Xiao Mi's neck. Xiao Mi consciously picked up the rope connected to the collar and handed it directly to Bai Yu.
"So cute. It seems much smarter than other cats. I don't know if it's because it's fed pollutants." Lin Mo couldn't help but scratch Xiaomi's chin again.
"OK."
Bai Yu glanced at the side beside him and saw a thick pile of completed documents, the top of which was higher than his head.
Even with so many vines, one would feel tired under such high intensity writing.
Bai Yu simply packed up his things, holding the rope that Xiao Mi had brought with her mouth, and followed the address given by Lin Mo to a remote riverside park in Qinghe City, where he successfully met up with Su Zi who was waiting there.
As soon as he saw his former owner, Xiao Mi ran and jumped excitedly, making hoarse cat meows.
"Xiao Mi, why have you gained so much weight?"
Su Zi picked up Xiao Mi and first touched her smooth and fluffy fur, then carefully touched the half exposed bone.
"The little guy didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
"No, Xiao Mi is very well behaved. He drinks water and goes to the toilet by himself. He doesn't disturb us when we are working. He even goes into the cage and closes the door by himself at night."
Bai Yu handed over the other end of the rope in his hand, recalled it, and added,
"Don't worry, Xiao Mi has a high sense of self-management."
Su Zi couldn't help laughing: "It's like this, Xiao Mi is very sensible at home. Apart from going out for a walk frequently, everything else is very comfortable."
Bai Yu nodded in agreement and said, "I have certainly never seen a cat that loves to walk outside so much."
"At first, Xiao Mi was just like other cats, and just liked to stay at home all day. I was diagnosed with depression at the time, and I also stayed at home all day. But one day, Xiao Mi suddenly fell in love with walking, and insisted that I go out with it. I even suspected that it had mutated."
Su Zi picked up Xiao Mi from the ground and gently touched its fur.
Xiao Mi continued to make gentle and hoarse "giao" and "giao" sounds.
Su Zi didn't understand the meaning of Xiaomi's cry and just thought it was acting coquettishly. However, Bai Yu, who was also a pollutant, understood the general meaning of this cat-like pollutant.
"It's fine for cats to stay at home for a long time, but humans can't stay at home for a long time, or they will get sick and die."
Bai Yu took Xiao Mi and looked at the cat in his arms with his dark green eyes.
"Huh?"
"It knows this, so even if you don't want to go out, it will force you to go out for a walk. The sun is indeed good for your physical and mental health."
Su Zi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Bai Yu, I never realized you were so humorous before."
"I'm serious."
"Got it. You're serious."
Su Zi thought he was teasing her and pretended to go along with his words.
"I'm much better now. I stopped taking the medicine under the doctor's guidance. Thank you, Xiaomi."
She reached out her hand and tried to rub Xiao Mi's round face hard, but her fingertips touched a cold sign.
"What is this...Qinghe City Special Event Investigation Bureau recruits..."
Bai Yu looked down and said, "This is an employee badge. Xiao Mi can sense danger, so she was simply used by everyone to detect pollutants. That's why she was recruited and she gets a salary every month."
Although the salary is just octopus balls and dried fish.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Zi petrified on the spot.
"I...I studied day and night for half a year and took the exam several times but failed to get a stable job. My cat actually got it before me. It got to the shore before me while I was still in the water!"

Chu Zehuai, who was believed to be on a business trip again, was actually in a forest on the outskirts of Qinghe City.
Three days ago, a letter was left at his doorstep, signed by Chu Yunsheng, who had disappeared for nearly eighteen years.
The other party asked him to meet here alone.
"I knew you would come to see me."
The person sitting on the branch swung his legs, half of his body lazily leaning against the trunk, with a frivolous smile in his blood-red eyes.
"I remember you loved candy when you were a kid. I brought some with me. Do you want some?"
Chu Zehuai stopped and did not answer. His golden-orange eyes looked at the smiling person on the tree trunk.
His memory of Chu Yunsheng was actually a bit vague, he just remembered that he was always smiling and would bring candies to take care of him when his parents were busy with work.
For a while he really liked this little uncle who often came to accompany him.
Even if the other party gave him candy and then took his blood and hair in exchange.
Young Chu Zehuai didn't realize anything was wrong. He thought it was worth it to give up some blood and hair in order to get the company and care from his relatives.
Until one time, when he was training his abilities, he accidentally used too much force and blasted a hole in the ground of the side yard of the old house, and also blasted out the entrance to Chu Yunsheng's secret laboratory.
There, Chu Zehuai saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
Dozens of cylindrical glass jars were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, with tubes of different colors extending into them, continuously pumping nutrient solution into them. Humanoid creatures that looked exactly like him were floating quietly inside.
After the incident was exposed, the laboratory and the humanoid creatures were destroyed. Chu Yunsheng was sent to the Dongzhou Tribunal, but he escaped halfway. While everyone was at the Tribunal, he stole the Qingyuan Sword passed down from the Chu family and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that his nephew remained silent, Chu Yunsheng did not get angry. He spread his wings behind him and jumped down from the tall tree, stretching out his hand:
"I remember you liked this brand of candy very much when you were a child. This is my apology to you, my dear nephew."
Chu Zehuai took two steps back, his eyes gradually turned cold as he woke up from his memories: "No need, why did you come back?"
Seeing that the other party really didn't want to accept it, Chu Yunsheng pretended to regretfully take back the candy and micro needle in his palm, and said softly:
"I have been hiding out there for so many years, and I regret what I did every moment. After all, I was too young and too extreme. I just... want to say sorry to you. I'm sorry, I'm not a good uncle. Although you may not forgive me, if you want to hate me, go ahead and hate me. At least my conscience will feel better."
Chu Yunsheng took a step forward.
He knew that he had the same eyes as his eldest brother, and he also knew that his nephew had a deep obsession with emotions and intimacy because of the absence of his parents in his childhood.
Chu Zehuai raised his eyes and looked at the other party, and placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist:
"I don't hate you, I hate this heavy feeling, you are not worth it."
"You liked me so much when you were little, why did you become so unlovable when you grew up?"
Chu Yunsheng took another step forward, four red pupils rolling in his eye sockets.
"Get lost before I change my mind."
“Such indifference, is it the power of blood awakening?
Chu Yunsheng completely ignored the threat of the Dingguang Sword. His four pupils reflected the figure of his nephew, and a hint of obsession emerged in them.
"Your ability should be the awakening of the Chu family's top bloodline. I was right at the beginning. Such a powerful force, it's a pity that the research is only halfway through-"
Clang——
The blade of the Dingguang Sword flashed a cold light under the light.
"Are you still not giving up?" Chu Zehuai's tone turned cold.
"I just think that since our family has such a powerful bloodline, why not think about going a step further in this already chaotic world?"
Chu Yunsheng came over, and the red wings on his back spread out.
"Chu Zehuai, have you ever thought about using your abilities to bring the entire family back to the top?"
Without waiting for his nephew to answer, he continued speaking, his voice beginning to rise with excitement.
"The new world has arrived. There is a huge difference between us and ordinary people. The powerful force passed down by our blood is enough for us to reach the top of the world. Only new humans have the right to rule the world. Old humans are destined to become the dust of history!"
Chu Zehuai: .....He now suspects that his uncle has gone crazy.
"Hasn't it occurred to you at some point in your life?"
Chu Yunsheng continued, his blood-red eyes narrowed, with a faint light around his pupils.
"You will become the biggest beneficiary of the new world. You won't have to force yourself to overdraw your mental strength to fight, you won't have to accept the mean criticism of cowards on the Internet, you won't have to deal with S-level pollutants in order to save people, and you won't have to sacrifice yourself to protect those powerless weaklings... Oh, your father would be heartbroken if he saw this."
Chu Zehuai stared at him intently.
"Well, there's also the person you like. Because you have to take care of other trash, you can only watch him suffer. You can't protect him, but you have to be taken care of by others. This feeling of powerlessness is very unwilling, right—"
The sound of metal colliding rang out in the dense forest.
The Qingyuan Sword and Dingguang Sword collided in the air, making a crisp sound.
Behind the sword was Chu Yunsheng, who was forced to his knees by the powerful force, and Chu Zehuai, who was shocked and angry.
"How dare you look at my memories!"
The Dingguang Sword pressed down inch by inch. He, who was usually calm, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his golden-orange eyes were full of murderous intent.
Chu Yunsheng secretly cried out in dismay.
What I said just now hit the nail on the head.
However, his nephew seemed to really like the figure he saw, and he was just cheating casually.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Chu Yunsheng's mind, but on the surface he maintained his previous expression, using all his strength to hold the sword in his hand.
Both the Qingyuan Sword and the Dingguang Sword were passed down from generation to generation in the family. The former emphasized speed and was good at assassination, while the latter emphasized strength and was good at confrontation. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated, not to mention that he could not beat the opponent at all.
Chu Yunsheng was startled, but fortunately a familiar breath approached from underground.
It's someone from the organization who came to pick us up.
At the same time, several familiar yet unfamiliar auras approached from another direction and hid in the bushes.
She is his biological sister, and there should be another nephew whom he has never met, and the others are people he doesn't know.
Chu Yunsheng's eyes turned, and a smile appeared in his four blood-red pupils again:
"Hey, why are you so angry? I won't tell anyone that your mind is full of men."
Chu Zehuai's expression was blank for a moment.
Whose mind is full of men?
And at this moment, the huge red wings behind Chu Yunsheng spread out, and with a whistling sound of the wind, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Chu Zehuai reacted instantly, and the golden flames and sword edge rushed straight into the sky, but he saw that the figure did not take off, but was caught by the vines that emerged from the ground and quickly disappeared from his perception.
He actually ran away from underground.
Underground was where he was least good at fighting.
Chu Zehuai put away his sword, looked at the cave where the other party escaped with great displeasure, then sheathed the Dingguang Sword and turned to look at the bushes where a group of people were hiding.
As he watched, the leaves on the bushes shook a few times, and one, two, three, four, five... many heads popped out.
"Hey, brother, my mom said that you might be soft-hearted, so we... let's take a look to prevent you from getting into any accidents."
Lin Mo shrank his neck, because his mother said that his brother might be deceived by sweet words, and might even be bewitched into helping the other party fight their own people, so he brought all the top fighters who were unused in the Investigation Bureau, and on the way he met his mother who came to check on him because she was also worried.
Unfortunately, by the time the group arrived, everything was almost over.
Under Chu Zehuai's death gaze, Lin Mo shrank behind his mother like a quail, with only his head showing, and said firmly:
"Brother, don't worry, believe me, we didn't hear anything!"
