The man in front of her was sitting on a chair. He was wearing a mask that covered his entire body. He was also wearing a black cloak.
The lights backstage were not turned on, and there were no windows in this place. Even though it was broad daylight, it was still dark. Hence, people could not see his face clearly. They could only vaguely see his hunched back. He seemed… a little old?
Xue Xi asked in confusion, “Omnipotent Boss?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
A voice that seemed to have been specially processed sounded from behind the mask. The voice was low and had a hint of electric current.
Ordinary people would find this voice a little ear-piercing and unpleasant, but Xue Xi instantly felt a sense of familiarity. Having known him for a year, this was her first time meeting the teacher.
In a rare occurrence, her calm emotions fluctuated as she took a step forward. “Teacher, are you working here?”
Xiang Huai: “…Yes.”
Xue Xi took another step forward and wanted to scrutinize him. Unfortunately, he was wearing a mask and only revealed two black eyes. She could not see anything else.
She asked in confusion, “Why are you wearing a mask?”
Xiang Huai coughed to hide his awkwardness. “Mhm. I’m afraid I’ll scare you because I’m too ugly.”
Xue Xi paused and comforted him in an extremely serious manner. “My parents gave me my looks. Don’t worry, teacher. I won’t be so shallow.”
Jing Fei: “…”
Boss, if you’re ugly, then we have no hope!
Xiang Huai did not feel guilty at all and nodded. “Mhm, you’re not bad.”
After being praised by him, Xue Xi instantly felt very happy. After smiling, she said, “Teacher, it must have been you who said that I can enter the special department. Also, I managed to help the club. Thank you.”
Xue Xi had long sensed that she seemed to have a lot of authority in the special department. Other than Jing Fei opening the door for her, everything seemed to be progressing too smoothly as though someone had arranged it.
As for the five people in the club, although they did not kill anyone, they had trespassed on the bottom line of the law in everything they had done. According to the rules, they had to go to jail.
Now, they were released from court.
Although it was because someone in the special department had done something wrong and gave them compensation, this compensation was too much. Now that she saw Omnipotent Boss, Xue Xi understood.
All of this was arranged by the teacher.
Xiang Huai had done so many things, but he had never asked for anything in return. He also did not seek to be recognized and praised. However, at this moment, after being praised and thanked by the little kid, a sweet feeling rose in his heart.
He could not help but curl his lips. “Just verbally thanking me?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She was stunned. “Huh?”
Xiang Huai could not help but move his fingers. “I still have something to do. If you’re fine, you can leave first.”
“Okay.”
Only after leaving this dark room and walking for a long time did Xue Xi feel confused. Why did she feel that the teacher was teasing her just now?
This must be her illusion.
Jing Fei, who was following beside her, could not help but ask, “Sister Xi, what are you thinking?”
Xue Xi: “I’m thinking that the teacher is already so old yet is still busy. How professional.”
“…Him?” Jing Fei could not help but exclaim. When Xue Xi looked over, he held back his laughter. “Yes, he… is very professional.”
The last three words were against his conscience.
Boss has been slacking off every day for the past year. How is he professional?!
Although Fang Fang and Yu Da were released from court, they still had to sign a guarantee that they would not violate the law, so they were taken away.
Meanwhile, Jing Fei brought Xue Xi to collect her work pass from the special department.
In Jing Fei’s office.
Xue Xi looked at the P4 work pass in her hand and saw that Jing Fei had created a work account for her in the internal system. She could log into the police service system and check some news.
After everything was settled, Jing Fei passed her the account password. “Sister Xi, this is your account password. You’re a P4 and basically belongs to the management level. You can see the files of ordinary people.”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes when she saw this account.
Back then, he had borrowed Jing Fei’s account to check the files of Little Flame’s parents’ deaths and even met a very formidable hacker, X.
Later, she was afraid that she would bring Jing Fei trouble. After all, that hacker X was indeed formidable and she had never hacked into him again.
Now that she had her own account password, could she try again?
After leaving Jing Fei’s office, Xue Xi saw that Gu Yunqing was being detained at the side. After her drug addiction kicked in, she went almost crazy and her entire body was itching!
The spot where her hand was broken was also dripping with blood. She was in a worse state than Fang Fang, Yu Da, and the rest who had been interrogated by her. It could be considered retribution.
Jing Fei said, “Don’t worry. She’s already crippled. After being tortured her for a few days, she will be sentenced to death.”
Xue Xi nodded.
Just as she was about to leave with the items, she saw Yu Da walking over. He had been beaten last night and was exceptionally weak today. His lips and his face were pale.
Xue Xi was confused. “Why are you here?”
Yu Da looked at Gu Yunqing and said, “I want to ask her why.”
She had bought clothes two months ago. She must have schemed to kill Liu Zhao, but the club had always treated Gu Yunqing well. Why?
The three of them came to Gu Yunqing.
She was in handcuffs and her hair was in a mess. She shouted at Yu Da, “Give me a mouthful of drink. Just one mouthful. One mouthful. I’ll tell you whatever you ask!”
Jing Fei really took out the drink from her bag. “Tell me, why did you kill Liu Zhao? Did you have a feud with her?”
Gu Yunqing shook her head. “No, I-I knew that the club was very formidable, but Yu Da and the rest never acknowledged me. They kept everything from me… I wanted to grab hold of their weakness and make them listen to me obediently in the future…”
She had long planned to control this club, so she’d bought clothes and planned to find an opportunity to kill Liu Zhao.
She was used to having such a useful club.
However, she was already in her third year and was about to graduate!
What if the Gu family no longer valued her after she lost the club?
She wanted to control this club for the rest of her life and make it her weapon. She wanted to make her father and everyone in the family value her and support her…
Gu Yunqing cried after saying that.
The feeling of being ignored by one’s family since one was young was too unbearable.
She rushed up again. “Give me a drink, give me a drink!”
She was completely crazy.
Xue Xi and Yu Da exchanged glances and left. When they exited, Yu Da and the rest narrowed their eyes and felt the bright sun shining on them.
The warm wind blowing in front of them, the tall building, the confused gazes of the passersby, the noisy surroundings, and even the exhaust from the cars were all so freeing at this moment.
Yu Da’s eyes turned red.
Fang Fang remained silent.
The other three people clenched their fists.
Ever since they joined that club, their lives had been sealed. At this moment, the feeling of freedom was so beautiful.
The five of them had all been reborn.
…
In Jing Fei’s office.
Xiang Huai leaned lazily on the chair while Jing Fei was seriously using the special department’s equipment to test the blood he had collected from Xue Xi.
His expression was solemn and serious.
This machine was even more precise. The genetic ratio could give accurate data.
Two hours later.
When he saw the gene score on the instrument, Jing Fei was stunned. He looked at Xiang Huai in disbelief. “O-Old Boss, this…”
