Zongman: I have really retired!

"Is that so? Then please ask Jie to cooperate with the local administration in Zhucheng. If you can resolve this matter, I can agree to your admission."

Meng Shuxu on the other end of the phone was still smiling, and his tone was so calm that he seemed not to care at all that this was a major accident that could cause Zhucheng to become the first city to fall in Huazhong.

"Are you serious! Let me, an underage high school student who has just awakened and has no experience, deal with this kind of thing?

Do you think this is a Japanese hot-blooded anime? Do you think I am the protagonist of some hot-blooded anime? Do I have what it takes to save the world? "

Xia Youjie couldn't help rolling his eyes. He was obviously so angry that he couldn't care less about the ugly expressions of the support staff on the side. If he hadn't been so well behaved, he really wanted to fly back to Jiangcheng and beat up Meng Shuxu right now. He was simply making trouble unreasonably! !

Meng Shuxu really believed in him. He was not even sure he could solve this matter. Thinking of this, Xia Youjie thought of something again.

His tone suddenly calmed down, and he said coldly: "Do you know something?"

Meng Shuxu on the other end of the phone smiled nonchalantly, his sharp eyes clearly showed some approval, and his tone was filled with emotion and regret:

"Just a gambler who is so crazy that he doesn't consider failure and retreat."

Xia Youjie remained silent, listening to Meng Shuxu on the other end of the phone continue to say with emotion:

"When a high-ranking big shot dies, even if no one can be found to take responsibility, someone will be forced to take responsibility for it. But when a little guy dies, even if he wears iron shoes, he may not be able to find a place for reasoning. This is probably the case. It’s just the sadness of being a human being.

Her madness with no room for regret will drive herself to despair sooner or later. "

Xia Youjie noticed her keenly. Did Meng Shuxu already know the cause and effect of this incident? He weighed his tone and said, "Do you know her?"

Meng Shuxu sneered in response to Xia Youjie's clumsy test:

"The self that people long for seems to be hidden in nothingness, like the sound of rhythm, which is difficult to touch, grasp, and caress. Even if it is close in front of you, you still cannot touch its reality, and you may even question the authenticity of its existence.

Bai Yueguang's lethality lies in the fact that there are people who can compare to her in memory, including herself. "

Meng Shuxu's tone was gloomy. He ignored Xia Yan who was glaring at him and continued:

"No one wants to die for no reason. Even if you want to end it for some reason, it requires a lot of courage and a long period of careful consideration."

"Is Cheng Nuanmeng related to this matter?"

Xia Youjie seemed to have noticed something. He continued to ask in a deep voice, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

How could the suicide of an ordinary high school girl be related to the Curse Master? Although... Cheng Nuanmeng's suicide was indeed strange, and even indirectly led to the death of Xia Youjie's parents, but Cheng Nuanmeng did commit suicide...

Xia Youjie's eyes were fixed on the call interface of his mobile phone. He also noticed something unusual in it. He thought about it carefully, trying to piece together a complete answer.

Meng Shuxu chuckled again: "Looking at your young age and lack of experience, I've given you enough tips. Come on, Jie——"

His tone was like a slightly raised hook, which seemed to be encouraging but also seemed to be meaningless. In short, it was not like a tone that a normal elder would speak.

Xia Youjie sighed, feeling that Meng Shuxu was also a tsundere, a bit like Gojo Satoru.

He hung up the phone and used his fingers to gently massage his brain, which was aching from overuse after a day of classes.

It's true... Satoru won't fight with him, that guy will just confidently pull him to solve those troublesome guys together. Anyway, at most, it's okay to demolish a few buildings to discourage him, it doesn't matter.

Xia Youjie threw the mobile phone in his hand into the air to kill time. He was still thinking about whether he should demolish a few buildings to cause Meng Shuxu some trouble. He was not an honor student in his previous life, so why was he so considerate.

Xia Yan slammed the table in front of Meng Shuxu, and the heavy sound on the table conveyed her inner anger.

She should have realized earlier that Meng Shuxu has always been an arrogant lunatic. There are no magicians who are not crazy. Let a child who has even killed chickens come into contact with a lunatic, gambler, and murderer! What on earth was he thinking! !

"Why do you have to let Jay get involved in this! Have you considered that he is still a child!?"

Xia Yan roared at Meng Shuxu again. She originally thought that Meng Shuxu would send someone to take over the mission, leaving Xia Youjie and Lin Fei to watch and understand the cruelty of reality.

But judging from Meng Shuxu's appearance, he fully intends to let Xia Youjie and the others take the leading position in the investigation. Then some things will no longer be hidden.

Xia Yan couldn't imagine... how desperate Xia Youjie would be if he knew the truth...

"But he will know sooner or later. Of course I hope he can recognize his limits and keep his own rules, but we all know that Jay is not a good boy who will keep his own rules.

And... some things are destined to be hidden. The more you care about them, the harder it will be to hide them. "

Meng Shuxu sighed. He never thought that his sister-in-law would be dead and leave a lot of mess behind, and drag his sister along with her...

Meng Shuxu did not hate this brother-in-law. His death was not due to any major mistakes, but at most some minor mistakes he made when he was young. No one expected that this mistake would lead to such an unfortunate ending.

"It's obviously just a small thing! It was just an accident..."

Xia Yan lowered her head, tears filling her eyes, and she shouted in a low voice: "Everyone knows that it was an accident!!"

She was just sad for the death of her brother and sister-in-law. No one expected that just a few minutes late would cause so much tragedy.

"Although it is an unexpected little thing, it is an undeniable fact. The emotions are suppressed in the heart and will explode one day."

Meng Shuxu didn't know how to comfort her. He knew that Xia Yan didn't need it. Anyone would say something pale and feeble to comfort her, but not everyone needed it.

"I apply to lead a team to Zhucheng."

Xia Yan suddenly spoke, her tone firm and full of hatred.

"No way, you know, you will definitely do something you will regret."

Meng Shuxu refused outright, but he still comforted Xia Yan.

"Come on Pingjie, at least trust him. It should not be his ability or our intervention that determines what kind of person he can become, but his own choice.

I know that I am always self-righteous, but I am already trying to suppress this feeling. And isn't your self-assertion of making decisions for others a kind of violence in itself? "

Xia Yan raised her head and inadvertently wiped the tears leaking from the corners of her eyes with her calloused fingertips. She stroked a few more strands of hair. She was still the head of the first division of Fengxing Leili's headquarters of the Administration.

The tears did not represent her weakness, but the sincere emotions in her heart emerged beyond words at this moment.

"Okay, I can't convince you. It's okay not to let me go. You send a small team to Zhucheng, otherwise I will lead the team myself. After all, he is also my nephew."

Meng Shuxu sighed. Faced with this difficult situation, he had to make a compromise decision, but he still persisted in persuading him.

"Since he has chosen this path, he must be aware that the more he yearns for the sunshine at high places, the more his roots will stretch into the dark underground, and the sooner the better, and let him grow up before the tree matures. The roots must be deep, otherwise when they grow up, the roots will be too shallow and easily blown down by the wind, which would be a pity.”

"Then what if he encounters a rock that is difficult to break in the middle of his roots?"

"Isn't this still us? Why didn't you find out earlier and help while we were still young? Or are you unwilling?"

"...You win again, don't go too far, he is still a child after all."

Xia Yan couldn't argue. She knew that Meng Shuxu's thoughts were poisonous and he couldn't get over it. This kind of guy deserved to be single for the rest of his life.

"I don't think he is just a child. When Jay has grown up, he has his own little secrets that he doesn't want to tell me anymore."

Meng Shuxu's tone was very teasing, and Xia Yan's familiar smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Xia Yan rolled her eyes and turned away. Sooner or later, Meng Shuxu would overturn, and she would see it sooner or later.

The breeze blew gently through the treetops, and the mottled light and shadow of the setting sun fell on the young man's body. The wind approaching evening still had a slight chill that penetrated the bone marrow.

"Brother!! Do you want to try it? It's so delicious!!"

Lin Fei enthusiastically handed a small octopus ball to Xia Youjie with a fork.

The black-haired boy looked at the octopus balls with slight disgust. The plump shape, golden skin, and alluring aroma looked very tempting, but he had no appetite at the moment.

"Why do you eat all you want? When you go out, do you want to eat all over the street? If you encounter something strange on the road that day, do you want to join in and take a few bites to taste it?"

The black-haired boy with squinting eyes turned back dissatisfied and continued walking forward.

Lin Fei groaned, and said with his big innocent eyes: "No, brother, you said that stuff is terrible, why should I taste it? Even you said it tastes terrible, so it must be terrible. Ah! I’m not stupid!!”

After he finished speaking, he nodded seriously and stuffed another octopus ball into his mouth.

After one bite of the meatballs, the tenderness and spicy taste filled his taste buds, making Lin Fei unable to help but pick up another one.

Xia Youjie moved his left hand. He really wanted to slap Lin Fei. If it even tastes bad to you, it must taste bad! !

The black-haired boy glanced at the support staff next to him who was carrying snacks in his hands. The support staff finally relaxed and even had the mood to order a cup of milk tea for himself. He no longer looked at the words he had just heard about the Curse Master. The panicked look on his face.

Xia Youjie was amazed by this and had to admire Lin Fei's ability to disrupt the situation.

Although it is an old residential building no longer in the city center, people are still coming and going on the streets outside the community. As night falls, the flow of people becomes larger. Many vendors with carts gather here to form a snack street. .

The aroma of delicious food filled the air, attracting waves of diners and also attracted two poor high school students who worked right after class.

Lin Fei walked around the whole street and wanted to take a bite of everything, so he just bought it all in one go.

Unexpectedly, it would be so much that the assistants and Xia Youjie could only share the burden. Xia Youjie sighed and took a dessert from the poor assistant staff.

The snacks on the roadside are obviously low-quality products wholesale from factories. They are average in appearance and taste, and even the sweetness is blended with strong industrial flavors.

If I bring this kind of souvenir to Wu, I'm afraid Wu will beat him to death... I remember that the one near the Xiangshan intersection is good. I smelled the aroma of baking bread when I passed by today. Do you want to check it out? I should be able to catch up...

Xia Youjie stuffed the last bite of the bean paste-flavored snack into his mouth and turned around to go to Xiangshan Road.

"Oh?! Brother!! Brother!!"

Lin Fei turned around and saw that his brother didn't know where he was going.

………………

The yellow light ahead flashed and eventually turned into a red light, and the car stopped.

"Um...are you okay?"

The assistant looked at the black-haired boy through the rearview mirror and made sure he was normal before turning his attention to the road ahead.

"Do you need a break? I heard that you have an exam recently. Are you too tired?"

Xia Youjie shook his head slightly. He frowned and thought about who the familiar figure was.

The long ponytail...the familiar school uniform...and the expensive pair of shoes.

Is it Mu Miaoyin...

Why is she here? This area is an old community, not a place where rich people like her should come, and the school is far away from here. Are you here to find someone?

But it's so late. Who's parents would let a girl go out alone so late?

Xia Youjie frowned and thought deeply. However, within a moment, a strong headache struck again. He sighed helplessly and gave up thinking.

By the way, how did he die in his previous life? Is it related to Gojo Satoru? Every time I recall it, it's all about him. He's said to be a close friend, but somehow it feels like they're more of a couple than a couple.

"Mr. Assistant, please tell the relevant personnel in Zhucheng about this matter. If possible, can you ask them to send us another copy of the information?"

"of course can!"

Xia Youjie was very satisfied with the answer from the assistant staff.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of this matter, but the main reason is that they have exams tomorrow.

Yes...the monthly exam...is the most evil monthly exam.
