Chapter 64 Joining the Special Agent Section

"Oh, then I'll drive you there," Fatty said, having consciously assumed the role of Yang Xuan's assistant as he spoke deferentially.

The two of them encountered no obstacles along the way and soon arrived at the police station.

"Eh? Isn't this Yang Xuan?" The on-duty police officer in the guard room recognized him.

"Yes, I'm here to report a crime." Yang Xuan recounted the events of Huangjia Village to the police in complete detail.

Before coming, he had even deliberately contacted Du Qing.

"The case of Huangjia Village is to be handled by you police. Make sure you investigate it thoroughly," Yang Xuan reminded them.

The duty officer nodded and immediately called his colleagues, telling them to come over right away.

Yang Xuan and Fatty left the police station. Fatty asked, "By the way, Brother Lin, how did you suddenly think of reporting it to the police? Did something happen?"

Yang Xuan fell silent for a moment. "Huang Yuhang killed Huang Erya. I want to make him pay with his life!"

Fatty immediately wore an expression of astonishment. "What? Huang Yuhang killed Huang Erya?"

"Yes," Yang Xuan replied with certainty.

Fatty was dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open without uttering a word for a long time. At last, he muttered, "That Huang Yuhang is truly unhinged and devoid of conscience!"

Yang Xuan nodded in deep agreement.

When the two returned to the residential area, the sky had completely darkened. The moon had crawled out from behind the dark clouds, casting a pale blue, chilling luster.

From quite a distance away, Yang Xuan spotted Du Qing.

Du Qing was dressed in black, standing by the courtyard wall and smoking. Several cigarette butts were scattered around his feet, and his expression looked very gloomy, as if he had encountered some troublesome matter.

"Yang Xuan," Du Qing greeted briefly, then frowned as he looked at Fatty. "Why are you here?"

He certainly hadn't forgotten that Fatty had stolen their Fiendish Spirit Pills.

"Th-This... the matter before was all a misunderstanding. I had my reasons too," Fatty stammered anxiously, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Hah!" Du Qing sneered. "What a convenient excuse about having your reasons!"

"I..." Fatty's face contorted with conflict, not knowing how to explain himself.

Yang Xuan patted Fatty on the shoulder and walked over to Du Qing. "Section Chief Du, could we step aside and talk?"

Du Qing raised an eyebrow, asking suspiciously, "What for? Aside from joining our Special Operations Division, I have nothing to discuss with you."

"I came today precisely to talk to you about this matter," Yang Xuan said with a serious expression.

He had considered it for a long time before finally making this decision.

First, with the help of the Special Operations Division, he could avoid a great deal of trouble.

Second, there were some things that he could not accomplish entirely on his own.

Take the matter of Huang Erya, for instance.

Now, the police had to be made to investigate the truth as quickly as possible and provide an explanation to Huang Erya and her sister. Only then could he send them off to be reincarnated; otherwise, the two of them would forever remain wandering orphan ghosts.

Yang Xuan was not particularly kind-hearted, but he had inexplicably developed a sense of compassion toward the two sisters, Huang Erya and Huang Daya.

"Oh? You want to join our Special Operations Division?" Du Qing was somewhat surprised. He had originally expected Yang Xuan to refuse.

After all, Yang Xuan had turned them down countless times before. To suddenly volunteer to join now truly caught him off guard.

"Yes, I am willing to join your Special Operations Division, and I will fully cooperate with your investigation into the Huangjia Village case," Yang Xuan said with a firm attitude, without the slightest hesitation.

He knew that once Du Qing and the others accepted his application, it would be equivalent to accepting him as a person.

And once he joined the Special Operations Division, it would mean entrusting his back to every single colleague within the division.

Therefore, he had to consider the matter prudently to avoid bringing trouble upon himself later on.

"Are you certain?" Du Qing narrowed his eyes, fixing a burning gaze on Yang Xuan.

After all, they had been eyeing Yang Xuan for a long time.

Although Yang Xuan was young, his potential was exceptionally high—he was an uncarved piece of jade that they had long wished to cultivate properly.

"Mm, I am quite certain."

Du Qing nodded. "Very well. Since you've made up your mind, let's discuss the conditions."

"What conditions?" Yang Xuan asked.

"It's very simple. After you join our Special Operations Division, you just need to handle a few tasks for us," Du Qing smiled and said.

"Handle a few tasks? What specific tasks?" Yang Xuan asked again.

Du Qing pondered slightly for a moment before slowly spitting out a single sentence: "Execute missions for us."

Yang Xuan raised an eyebrow. "What kind of missions?"

Du Qing shook his head. "Haven't thought of them yet."

"..." Yang Xuan was somewhat speechless. These people were essentially trying to get free labor out of him.

Still, he wouldn't be losing out; since he was idle anyway, he might as well give it a try. Perhaps it would lead to some novel experiences.

"Alright, no problem."

"Hahaha... How decisive!" Du Qing was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone to dial a number. "Xiao Wu, arrange an office immediately and have Yang Xuan report to work."

"Section Chief Du, although I've agreed to join, I won't have time to come in for regular shifts. I can only show up when there is a mission," Yang Xuan hurriedly reminded him.

Du Qing waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned as he said, "Don't worry. Our Special Operations Division is extremely professional. Even if you don't usually have time, you can still take turns resting when appropriate—you'll just have to occasionally run some errands for us."

Hearing Du Qing's words, Yang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He certainly didn't want to be strapped to a chair with nowhere to go.

"I won't go over there for now. I'll leave the matter of Huangjia Village to you guys," Yang Xuan said, not forgetting the main business at hand.

Huang Daya and Huang Erya were still waiting.

Du Qing nodded. "Mm, go ahead. Leave the matters here to us, you can rest assured."

Only then did Yang Xuan turn and leave.

Watching Yang Xuan's retreating figure, Du Qing's eyes flashed with a bright, excited gleam.

Yang Xuan and Fatty returned to the inn. Having busied themselves all night, they could finally get some rest.

Now they just needed to comfort Huang Daya and Huang Erya and send them off to reincarnation.

Fatty looked at Yang Xuan and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Brother Xuan, can I officially be your assistant?"

"Assistant?" Yang Xuan was stunned. He had never imagined that he would lack an assistant, let alone one of such substantial proportions.

"Mm-hmm," Fatty nodded, his tone earnest. "I promise I am fully capable of handling the position of your assistant."

Yang Xuan rubbed his nose. "Then do you think I look like a person who lacks an assistant?"

"Not really... But I really want to follow you. No matter what, you saved me when I was possessed by an evil ghost earlier," Fatty lowered his head, wearing a aggrieved expression.

"I understand," Yang Xuan sighed softly, then nodded. "Fine. But let's get this straight first: you can follow me, but you must absolutely not stir up trouble, or else I will definitely kick you out."

Fatty abruptly raised his head in pleasant surprise. "Brother Xuan, you agreed?"

"Nonsense," Yang Xuan glared at him.

"Yay~"

Fatty cheered, lunging directly into Yang Xuan's arms and almost crying with excitement.

"Hey, you brat, get away from me and don't touch me."

Disgusted, Yang Xuan pushed Fatty away, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to fall fast asleep.
