Chu Yan could not let Xia Fan leave, but she still took good care of Xia Fan to the best of her abilities. She arranged for him to stay in the dormitory prepared for the staff.
The working hours of the Special Task Force were very unstable, so the agency had prepared a large number of temporary dormitories for investigators or staff who could not go home. After all, the Special Task Force was the most powerful organization in the Alliance. Although the dormitory was not as luxurious as a hotel, it still had first-class facilities. The beds were soft and comfortable.
Bang, bang, bang!
In the middle of the night, Xia Fan knocked on Chu Yan's door. Chu Yan was very responsible and did not go home for the past few days.
Xia Fan was holding a thick stack of books and said to Chu Yan with a smile, "Sorry to disturb you so late. I've finished reading. Can you give me some more?"
Chu Yan was stunned and asked in disbelief, "This is the seven-volume General History of the Nebula Alliance. You finished it in less than three days?! I've read more than 7,000 pages of text intermittently for nearly a year. "
Xia Fan shrugged and said, "It's more than 7,000 pages. If I remember correctly, this book has a total of 8,639 pages including the introduction and appendices. I have nothing else to do anyway, so I read it a little faster."
Chu Yan looked at Xia Fan as if she was looking at a monster. "A little faster? It's like the efficiency of an automatic reader. But then again, can you really remember it? "
"No." Xia Fan quickly shook his head.
Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "This guy really has no interest in history. He just flipped through it and found it boring, so he came to me to exchange books."
At that moment, she suddenly heard Xia Fan say, "I only remember 97%."
Pfft!
Chu Yan almost spat out her drink. Reading 8,639 pages in three days and remembering 97% of it, was this guy still human?
Chu Yan did not believe it and asked a few questions, and Xia Fan answered all of them.
At this point, Chu Yan was truly convinced. She looked back at her room and said, "Since this is only a temporary dormitory, I don't have many interesting books here. Apart from this brief history book, the rest are all legal books, as well as professional books related to the work of the Special Task Force, such as investigation and reasoning."
"It's okay." Xia Fan nodded and said, "I can't do anything here anyway. I can't log on to the Internet. My routine training has been stopped, and I can only practice the Astral Brilliance Mantra in my room. I should just read, at least I have something to do. "
When Chu Yan heard this, she felt sorry for Xia Fan. He was a righteous person, but he had to wait for the higher-ups of the Alliance to investigate him. Chu Yan couldn't help Xia Fan much. After all, the Luo Family was too powerful in the Alliance. She didn't know if the Luo Family would vent their anger on him.
"Alright, I'll get you some new books." Chu Yan said to Xia Fan, "Wait patiently. The people from the Luo family will arrive the day after tomorrow. After all, they came from the Alliance's capital planet to Britania. The distance is very far."
.....
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the day after tomorrow. That morning, the Special Task Force was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Just after nine o 'clock in the morning, Chief Jerry accompanied a few old men in black suits to the agency. The Chief personally went to the airport to welcome them, which showed how distinguished these guests who represented the Inferno Arhat Clan were.
Chu Yan was waiting in the interrogation room with Xia Fan. When she saw the Chief coming in with the people from the Luo Family, Chu Yan was surprised and asked, "Chief, you're back so soon? Didn't you say that you would go to the hospital to identify the person first? "
At that moment, a solemn-looking old man with a white beard said in a deep voice, "The person is dead. We will take the body back later and bring it back to the family graveyard for burial. But before that, we want to see who killed the murderer."
Chu Yan took a step back, pointed at Xia Fan and said, "Oh, his name is Xia Fan. He was the one who helped the Special Task Force find the murderer and killed him himself."
"As the person involved, I can guarantee that Xia Fan made a great contribution to the Special Task Force's speedy solving of the case. Moreover, he killed the murderer purely out of self-defense. After all, the enemy's level was much higher than his, and Xia Fan had no choice at the time."
The white-haired old man glanced at Chu Yan with a sharp gaze. "You're very protective of him, but I want to hear it from him."
"How can the people from the Luo family be so arrogant!?" Chu Yan was unhappy, but seeing the Chief's pleading eyes, she held back and did not say anything.
The white-haired old man waved his hand and asked all the people who came with him to leave, including Chief Jerry and Chu Yan.
Chu Yan had no choice but to retreat outside. Through the window, she saw that the old man representing the Luo family asked Xia Fan some questions, and Xia Fan answered them one by one with a smile. Because she could not hear, Chu Yan could not tell if the old man was satisfied with Xia Fan's answers.
The questioning took longer than expected, and it went on for more than two hours before the old man waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
"I swear on my reputation that Xia Fan is a good man. Please don't send him to the concentration camp. Not only is he harmless to the Alliance, but he will also be of great help!" Chu Yan said to the old man from the Luo family.
To Chu Yan's surprise, the old man from the Luo family smiled. His wrinkled face squeezed out a strange smile.
"Who told you that I'm going to send him to the concentration camp?" the old man asked.
Chu Yan was speechless, and her mouth was wide open in shock.
The old man from the Luo family said seriously, "We, the Fire Arhat Clan, are indeed known for our seriousness. We don't like to joke about anything."
"However, perhaps it is because we are too serious that people have forgotten another of our creeds. We, the Luo family, have always been a family of vengeance and kindness!"
The old man from the Luo family stood up and bowed deeply to Xia Fan. He said in a deep voice, "I am Luo Tianhai. On behalf of the Luo family, I would like to express my gratitude to the benefactor!"
Boom!
This was the famous Inferno Arhat Clan!
Luo Tianhai's action shocked Director Jerry and Chu Yan.
Xia Fan, on the other hand, was neither servile nor overbearing. He smiled and helped Luo Tianhai up. "Grandpa Tianhai, you are treating me like an outsider. To tell you the truth, I have been taught by my grandfathers to be a good man with an indomitable spirit. So, if I were to encounter such a situation again, I would not hesitate to help, regardless of whether he is from the Luo family or not."
In fact, Xia Fan had only said half of what he wanted to say. Although his grandfathers hoped that Xia Fan would be a good man in the future, they themselves were not good people. They were a notorious group of scourges in the universe who had committed all kinds of evil deeds.
Perhaps it was because they had been trapped in the sky that they had thought things through. If they had not been so greedy, they would not have ended up alone. Therefore, they did not want Xia Fan to walk the same path as them in the future.
The scourges treated Xia Fan as their own child. In this world, no matter how evil a parent was, they would always want their child to be successful. It was human nature.
Director Jerry and Chu Yan were shocked. Xia Fan had already started calling this person Grandpa Tianhai so soon? It seemed like the two of them hit it off quite well and were quite close …
Smack!
Luo Tianhai patted Xia Fan's shoulder heavily. "Well said. Well said! Justice should not be treated differently. Whether he is from the Fire Arhat Clan or not, someone should uphold justice for him! "
Luo Tianhai turned to Jerry and said, "As an important agency in the Alliance that specializes in dealing with crimes committed by superhumans, it would be great if the Special Task Force was filled with young people with a sense of justice like Xia Fan!"
Director Jerry whispered, "Elder Luo, you don't know this. Xia Fan's background is unknown, and he has no identity. Not to mention the Special Task Force, I don't think it will be easy for him to pass the inspection of people with unknown superpowers."
"Who said his identity is unknown?!" Luo Tianhai was furious. "Didn't Xia Fan say it before? He lived in the mountains with his grandfathers. Later, his grandfathers died tragically, and he had no choice but to leave the mountains and enter society.
"Open your eyes and take a good look. He is only 16 years old this year! He is already a beastmaster, a doctor, a speed superpower user, and there is an eighty percent chance that he has olfactory superpowers. If he had not been raised by the secluded masters, how could he have achieved so much?! "
"Xia Fan, what level are you at now?"
"Elementary Star Constellation," Xia Fan answered with a smile.
Luo Tianhai looked at Jerry again. "Listen for yourself. Elementary Star Constellation!"
"Don't tell me you don't know that speed is the most difficult superpower in the world? Xia Fan is only 16 years old, and he has already reached the elementary Star Constellation! His grandfathers must have been secluded masters!
"Perhaps they discovered Xia Fan's amazing potential from a young age. That's why they brought him deep into the mountains to train him. Look at his physique. Have you ever seen anyone with such a strong physique at the age of sixteen?"
In the interrogation room, everyone stared at each other. How could Xia Fan's body not be strong? It was all because of the level nine energy crystals he had eaten.
In short, Luo Tianhai liked Xia Fan very much. He guessed that his grandfathers were secluded masters, and that they raised Xia Fan in the mountains so that he could amaze the world in the future!
"How did your grandfathers pass away?" Luo Tianhai's first impression was that the people who raised Xia Fan must be extraordinary, so he used honorifics.
If Luo Tianhai knew that Xia Fan's grandfathers were actually a group of scourges, he would probably be so shocked that he would be speechless. A group of the worst guys wanted their children to be good people. This kind of thing was a little strange.
Xia Fan's eyes reddened when he thought of his old scourges, but he would not cry. He continued to smile and said, "It was because my enemies came to seek revenge. They fought with their lives for me, and in the end, I was the only one who escaped."
Luo Tianhai's heart softened, and he sighed a few times with Xia Fan.
As for Xia Fan's smile, Luo Tianhai interpreted it as the strength of a young man. Even though his grandfathers had passed away, he still had to face his bleak life with a smile. Unknowingly, Luo Tianhai had a good impression of Xia Fan.
There were strange things in the world every year, but there were especially many today.
For some reason, Luo Tianhai felt that he and Xia Fan were kindred spirits.
"How about this?" Luo Tianhai thought about it and said, "I'll take care of Xia Fan's identity. As for the future, let him stay at the Britania branch as an intern. When the Special Task Force officially starts the examination, let him register and become a real investigator."
