Chapter 9

However, he didn’t load the gun, nor did he start to take aim. He just held the muzzle down.

Lin Zhendong finally realized that his strange chip did not warn him that the other party was hostile. Otherwise, it would have flashed a red warning in front of his eyes.

“Haha, so Treasure Hunting Mouse is a handsome young man who has just come of age. Moreover, he’s from the Special Protection Department.” Su Yan combed her hair and sized up Lin Zhendong with a smile.

Lin Zhendong thought that the Special Protection Department’s standard gun had exposed his identity, so he immediately put away the gun. This thing was even worse than a toy to the person in front of him.

With a thought, the chip immediately gave the other party an evaluation. [The target is kind. Strength: A]

These few words made Lin Zhendong’s heart skip a beat. A chill spread from his tailbone to the top of his head. He couldn’t help but regret not letting the chip evaluate this beauty last night.

Who would have thought that this delicate beauty was actually an A-rank!

It was impossible to beat her up. The other party could crush him to death with one finger.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhendong pretended to be helpless and said, “Miss, are you partners with the person who stole the treasure from the Special Protection Department?”

“Haha, that’s right. My companion is currently fighting with your comrade. Those two should be your superiors, right?” Su Yan said with a smile.

“It really is you. When I first heard the news, I couldn’t help but think of you. However, when I heard that the criminal was a burly man, I stopped thinking about it.” Lin Zhendong sighed.

“Oh, your sixth sense is really strong. No wonder you are the Treasure Hunting Mouse.” Su Yan looked at Lin Zhendong with a hint of surprise and admiration.

“Miss, could that lotus be the thing you wanted me to help you find previously?” Lin Zhendong asked.

“No, that’s the White Jade Lotus. It’s just that my companion saw that the color and shape were similar, so he snatched it on impulse.” Su Yan shook her head.

Lin Zhendong didn’t know what to say. Did he just snatch it on impulse? This was snatching something from the Special Protection Department!

However, at the same time, their hearts skipped a beat because it could be seen that they really did not have the slightest fear of the official department!

“Miss, since it’s not what you want, can you give it back to the Special Protection Department?” Lin Zhendong could not help but ask.

“Sure. Otherwise, why do you think it’s so lively inside? My companion will show a flaw after a certain period of time. Moreover, he will coincidentally leave the White Jade Lotus behind.” Su Yan smiled.

Lin Zhendong was dumbfounded and said bitterly, “Miss still wants my help?”

“Of course. I’m doing you a favor. Otherwise, with the strength of your two superiors, Haha.” Su Yan smiled meaningfully.

Lin Zhendong was at a loss. She was an A-rank, and her companions were either A-ranks or B-ranks. Just as she said, they were simply putting on a show. Otherwise, Captain Li and Brother Xiao would definitely be doomed.

However, it seemed very dangerous to help just like that. It was not the danger of finding things, but the danger after finding things. Who could guarantee that they would not be bumped off!

Su Yan saw the change in Lin Zhendong’s expression and immediately understood what was going on. She smiled arrogantly and said, “What? Afraid that I’ll do away with them afterward? Don’t worry, with my strength, if I force you to go, how can you not go? Do I need to be so nice? Besides, I, Su Yan, am not afraid of being found out. You can report to your superiors after this.”

The chip’s prompt was still the same. [The target is kind. Strength: A]

Lin Zhendong decided to take his chance. After all, as she said, if she forced him to go, how could he not go?

With her strength, she could easily destroy the entire Yuandong District! It was not worth lying to a child like him.

“Alright, Sister Su Yan, I’ll help you find the treasure.”

“Haha, you’re so sweet. I don’t even know your name.” Su Yan got what she wanted and immediately smiled brightly.

“My name is Lin Zhendong. I’m 18. I’m a newcomer to the Special Protection Department’s Riverside City’s Yuandong District,” Lin Zhendong reported matter-of-factly.

“Xiaodong, give me your phone number. I’ll call you in a few days. Don’t ignore me.” Su Yan said as she took out a phone from her back and waved it around.

Lin Zhendong quickly reported his phone number. When the other party called, he quickly saved the number and especially gave it a remark: [Sister Su Yan].

However, Su Yan, who was peeping over, reminded him, “It’s Yan with a Y, not an I. Don’t forget that.”

“What?” Lin Zhendong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly corrected himself.

“That’s my nickname, not my real name. Look, the label says Brother Treasure Hunting Mouse.” Su Yan smiled and showed her phone to Lin Zhendong.

This made Lin Zhendong speechless. Black lines appeared on his forehead.

“Alright, I’m leaving. See you in a few days.” Su Yan smiled and pinched Lin Zhendong’s cheek.

Then, under Lin Zhendong’s watchful gaze, she disappeared into her shadow and disappeared with a whoosh.

Lin Zhendong quickly went to harass the chip, but the chip did not react to this skill it had never seen before. This made Lin Zhendong extremely helpless.

Shaking his head, he turned around and ran toward the factory that was almost completely demolished because there was no longer any sound of fighting over there.

Just as they entered the factory, they saw Li Zhi and Xiao Bin walking out of the ruins, supporting each other.

Their well-ironed suits had been torn into pieces, and their faces were bruised and swollen, but they were smiling happily with their teeth exposed.

“Captain Li, Brother Xiao, you won! Where are the enemies?” Lin Zhendong immediately went forward and tried to help him up, but he was naturally rejected.

“Haha, the enemies have been beaten away. Fortunately, you didn’t come in. Otherwise, you would have been a giveaway! You probably can’t even withstand a punch! The enemy this time is really strong. No wonder they dare to rob our Special Protection Department.” Xiao Bin laughed, but he immediately drew in a breath of cold air when he talked about his injury.

“Have you found the treasure?” Lin Zhendong asked as he looked at the thing in Li Zhi’s hand.

Li Zhi weighed the White Jade Lotus in his hand and said with a look of satisfaction, “I found it. The quest this time is really a little dangerous. I wonder how such a powerful but unknown guy would appear in Riverside City.” As he spoke, his brows furrowed.

When they arrived at the car, Li Zhi said to Lin Zhendong, who was about to get into the car, “Xiaodong, give me the gun.”

Lin Zhendong did not hesitate and immediately took out his gun and handed it over.

However, the other party still had his hand out. He took off his holster and handed over the clip.

“Alright, I’ll return the gun and cancel the loan letter for you. The situation is urgent now. I have to rush back to the city department to report. We’re headed in different directions so I’m afraid I can’t drive you home. Don’t worry, I’ll give you what I promised.”

Ignoring the dumbfounded Lin Zhendong, he closed the car door and drove away.

“F*ck! He’s clearly making a tool of me! I thought so highly of you before!” Lin Zhendong couldn’t help but put his hand behind his back and raise his middle finger up as he watched the car drive away.

He didn’t dare to point his finger at the back of the car for fear of being seen.

Lin Zhendong sighed helplessly in the end. He had wanted to report Su Yan’s matter previously, but now he didn’t have the heart to do so.

He couldn’t be blamed for making such a decision. After all, he had just joined the company and didn’t know what a public official should do when faced with such a situation. Instead, he had the same mentality as a student and did whatever he wanted.
