According to what Ai Qing knew, the relationship between the Yin Family and the Huai Family could be traced back to eighty years ago.
At that time, Huai Shi's great-grandfather was a rare Rank 4 Ascendant. He obtained a large amount of wealth from the open borders and retired.
At that time, it could be said that he had helped the Yin Family a lot, and had played a significant role in reviving the declining Yin Family.
However, following the death of Huai Shi's great-grandfather, the Yin Family began to rise again, but the Huai Family had never produced another Ascendant, and gradually declined.
In the end, the Yin Family chose to hit the Huai Family while they were down when they needed funds the most, causing the Huai Family to completely collapse.
Following the death of Huai Shi's grandfather, Huai Shi's parents disappeared with a large amount of wealth. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
This process was so smooth that they could write eight hundred thousand words. Even a ghost wouldn't believe that there wasn't something shady going on behind the scenes.
It was a feast that everyone had worked together to create. Yin Shi ate the meat, Qi Wen drank the soup, and in the end, Huai Shi was left as a fig leaf.
Look, it's not that I don't care about our old friendship. This is just normal business competition. It's just that your family's descendants are too outrageous.
For the sake of all those years ago, I'll leave you a piece of cake. How humane is that?
You can't say that I'm going overboard now, right?
Obtaining practical benefits, preserving the Yin Family's face, and giving an explanation to his old friend who passed away. Isn't it great to have all three?
In any case, in this world, everyone would carry the person on their side. With this layer of explanation, everything became bright and beautiful.
It was simply unreproachable.
As for Qi Wen, that old dog, actually wanted to break free from the Yin Family's chains after obtaining the Ascension Rank, that was another matter altogether.
Over the years, Qi Wen acted as a protective umbrella for the returned citizens, quietly hiding all of the Savior Society's actions in the dark. Using this method, he rapidly searched for benefits and quietly grew stronger. It was as if he had already become a powerful force.
Even the Yin Family couldn't casually punish him. Instead, they had to squeeze out a smile and show their sincerity to welcome this once loyal dog back into their embrace.
Right now, that Old Master must be in a wonderful mood, right?
Even though she was angry and gloomy, Ai Qing couldn't help but maliciously think that when that face full of age spots forced a smile, it must be very ugly.
But then, her heart sank again.
How was he supposed to break the bad news to Huai Shi?
.
.
Now Huai Shi was watching the two of them quarrel.
In the basement of the detective's office, once he stepped into the door, he heard the detective sigh. "From how I see it, that group of returned Pure People is going to do something big. I'm afraid Xin Hai will not be the only one in trouble!"
"Shut the f * ck up!" Yoo Dong-ri was furious when he heard it. "Can you stop making wild guesses? With that Crow's Mouth of yours, even if it's not, I'll make it sound like it is! "
"Bullsh * t, this is called a reasonable guess!"
The detective sneered. "Do you think I won't write a 100,000-word thesis for your Q.E.D.?"
"Go ahead and write it! The ability restriction order on you hasn't expired yet. Aren't you afraid that Tian Tian will use the Rainbow Bridge to send a group of defenders to kill you? "
"I might not be able to write about the returned Pure People causing trouble, but you think I can't write about you?"
"If one day I'm going to die, I'll definitely sell you first!"
Under Huai Shi's shocked gaze, the two of them started to brawl. To be more precise, it was the detective who was beaten up. Soon, the detective with a swollen face started to beg for mercy.
Yoo Dong-ri was already used to this man's foul mouth, so he let go and stopped arguing with him.
Only Huai Shi had a hard time believing the layout of this basement.
"Impressive."
He glanced at the various guns and grenades hanging on the wall. "Do you sell these things as well?"
"If I did, I would've been caught by the Special Affairs Department a long time ago. I wouldn't have the time to sit here and talk." The detective rolled his eyes. "These are all tools used by someone to commit crimes."
"F * ck off, I'm doing this to bring peace to the people."
Liu Dongli was sitting on a chair. He untied the bandages and poured medicine on his wounds while grimacing in pain.
With his upper body naked, the wounds on the man's body were quite scary. The wounds that looked like children's mouths quickly closed under the medicine. After a night of treatment, they did not look so bad anymore.
After he finally sighed in relief, he put on his clothes and looked at Huai Shi seriously.
"You must have many questions to ask now."
"… Erm."
Huai Shi was silent for a long time before he scratched his head awkwardly. "Actually, I've pretty much figured out everything that I need to know. There's nothing much to ask. If I really have to say something, I hope that Tian Tian Tian will deal with the issue of the returned Pure People as soon as possible."
"Actually, they've already started."
Yoo Dong-ri looked troubled. "But the problem is, Xin Hai is not the only place facing this problem."
"Hmm?"
"I got the news from the Action Department last night."
He sighed helplessly. "The entire coastal area of Dongxia, including Xin Hai, has discovered the returned Pure People in more than six cities. Their fishing boats are even on the sea. If you ask me, I think they're really going to do something big this time. That's why they're in such a hurry to gather their forces.
In fact, all the border hunters in the Jinling area have already started to mobilize, but Dongxia refused the Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian Tian's intervention. In the end, they'll probably use the power of the Social Security Bureau.
Ah, the Social Security Bureau is the upper level organization of the Special Affairs Department. It's the department that manages the ascendants in Dongxia. Although the name is similar to another place, it's actually a separate and secret department. You'll probably get used to it in the future. "
Huai Shi was silent for a long time before he nodded. He noticed Yoo Dong-ri's helpless expression and squeezed out a smile. "Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night."
"It's normal. No one can sleep well in a situation like that."
Yoo Dong-ri comforted him as if he didn't notice anything. He put a cup of hot tea in front of him and said, "Drinking more hot water is good for your health. It's hard to avoid dealing with such matters when working for the Astronomy Society. "
He deliberately avoided the scene of Huai Shi losing control last night.
Although he could feel that Huai Shi was hiding something, Yoo Dong-ri did not intend to delve into it. No one was born with godly strength, just like no one was born with perfection.
There would always be times when everyone would encounter something troublesome. Chattering and asking too many questions would not solve any problems. It would only annoy others.
However, he felt that something was different about Huai Shi.
He didn't look like the young man from the past, nor did he look like the evil spirit he saw last night.
She clearly looked like she hadn't woken up yet, but she gave people the feeling that she had finally been freed from a long dream and was able to return to the mortal world.
Something was injected into the empty shell of a smile.
It made him different from the past.
Just as Yoo Dong-ri was thinking uneasily, he suddenly heard a bang in front of him. He saw Huai Shi slap his knee and suddenly get up. His expression suddenly became flustered. "F * ck!"
"What's wrong?" He looked up in surprise.
"I just remembered —"
Huai Shi slowly turned back, looking nervous. "I don't think I practiced the piano today!"
"…"
Yoo Dong-ri rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything. Sure enough, he was overthinking.
If this kind of guy was left alone, he would only be a fool for the rest of his life!
After confirming that Yoo Dong-ri's injuries were fine, Huai Shi was ready to leave. He was also told by Yoo Dong-ri not to reveal his whereabouts. He was afraid that this guy was going to do some investigation next.
Although Huai Shi wanted to know, he still had to report to Ai Qing this afternoon. He really didn't have time.
But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yoo Dong-ri.
"Um, Huai Shi …"
In the end, Yoo Dong-ri couldn't help but worry. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Huai Shi turned back and waved at him with a smile. "Don't worry. Just like you said, I have to learn to accept it, right?"
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned.
The door closed, and the young man's footsteps gradually faded away.
"Why did he leave?"
The detective, who had just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to get the purchase list, looked in the direction of the young man's departure. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed. "Wow, why does your little brother seem to be in a hurry?"
Yoo Dong-ri sighed helplessly.
Then, he turned around and rushed up to beat him.
"Shut the f * ck up Crow!"
.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, it started to drizzle.
The rainy season was about to begin.
Fortunately, Huai Shi moved quickly and rang Ai Qing's doorbell before the rain got wet.
Since she was the only official member of the local astronomy club, she didn't need to set up an office in an office building. The office was directly set up in the study on the second floor of her house.
According to Huai Shi's conjecture, he even suspected that Ai Qing might have pocketed the venue rental fee that was given to her by the higher-ups.
It was really enviable …
After arriving outside the door, looking at the exquisite little garden and villa behind the fence, Huai Shi couldn't help but feel worried. They were all houses, but why did his house look so poor?
Sure enough, he should sell some more powder and find someone to paint the outer wall.
Or buy a few new pieces of furniture?
He thought as he was welcomed into the house by Ai Qing's maid and brought to the study on the second floor.
"Miss is waiting for you."
She pushed the door open and motioned for Huai Shi to come in.
Ai Qing's study could only be said to be extremely simple.
There were no bookshelves, elegant paintings, or potted plants. There was only a table and a chair for guests.
Ai Qing seemed to be writing something on the computer. She frowned slightly and didn't notice Huai Shi coming in. It wasn't until the maid served tea and reminded her in a low voice that she came back to her senses.
"Sorry, I'm submitting some reports on the problems left behind by my predecessor."
She rubbed her forehead and looked up at Huai Shi. She was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong with you?"
"Me? I'm fine. "
Huai Shi smiled blankly and scratched his head. "Probably because you didn't sleep well?"
Ai Qing looked at him strangely for a long time, as if she accepted this explanation, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked like … she didn't know what to say.
"Did something happen?" Huai Shi asked.
"No, nothing!"
Ai Qing shook her head and denied it. She took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. It was rare for her to lose her composure. "By the way, why did I call you over?"
"Uh …" Huai Shi wasn't sure. "I remember you said it was a courier?"
"Yes, a courier."
Ai Qing rubbed her eyebrows. After a long time, she suddenly said, "I remembered wrong. I originally wanted to say that the bounty for the Red Gloves has been issued."
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
"The people of Green Sun generally have bounties on the Astronomical Association and various countries. Although most of them are similar to the bounty for the head, there are still quite a lot of bounties.
A total of 3.47 million US dollars will be transferred to your account later. "
"Huh?"
After being stunned for a long time, Huai Shi finally reacted. Hearing that more than 3 million US dollars had fallen from the sky was like picking up a diamond-studded golden pillow when he was sleepy. He was overjoyed and excited. "Oh! Oh! Thank you! "
Ai Qing was silent for a long time. She glanced at the box under the table and her expression became a little complicated. In the end, she didn't take it out.
"Congratulations," she said. "From now on, you don't have to work for money anymore."
