Yokai Office

The next day.

Shen Xi, who was overworked, waited until the afternoon, endured back pain and came to the Monster Bureau.

"Xixi?" Zong Ci looked at the lover beside him and called out.

The other party didn't give him any response at all, but instead gave him a blank stare.

Zong Ci was startled, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

He couldn't help but reflect on whether he spoiled his lover too lawlessly during this period of time.How dare you roll your eyes at him?

Although he thought so, Zong Ci didn't feel annoyed at all, and there was still a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Xi glanced at him, seeing the relaxed and contented look on the other side's face, he suddenly burst into anger, "You're still laughing! It's not all your fault!"

He was cheating and cheating, using everything...bringing him to the bed, insisting on unlocking a new pose.

"Yes, I was wrong. Don't make trouble like that next time." Zong Ci knew he was wrong, and coaxed him in a low voice.

The two talked while walking, and entered the gate of the Monster Bureau.

The disappearance case has just ended, and the perpetrator, Ning Shu, has died again.Zongci, as the captain of the investigation team, and Shen Xi, one of the insiders of the case, must come to check all the case files for archiving.

Shen Xi followed Zong Ci to the director's office.

Different from the noise in the past, this time, there was only one person talking inside the door.

Just listening to the sound is a little strange.

"Director Phoenix and the others, are they meeting guests?" Shen Xi hesitated, "Should we go in later?"

The voice from inside the door continued, louder this time.

Zong Ci came to his senses and said to Shen Xi, "It's okay, I'm not an outsider."

After all, he opened the door and entered.

The four people in the office turned their heads to look.

Shen Xi stood behind Zong Ci, followed the gap, and looked inward.

In addition to the three familiar auspicious faces of Fenghuang, Bi Fang, and Chongming, there is also an unfamiliar face.

White sweater, black slacks, looks very warm, giving people the illusion of a big brother next door.

"Uncle Ying, long time no see." Zong Ci took the initiative to say hello.

And the man he was talking about was one of Liuxiangrui——Yingzhao.

Yingzhao narrowed his eyes with a smile, leaned forward, looked at Zong Ci who was much taller than him, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Xiao Ci, how are you doing recently, I heard that you have asked for a wife?"

daughter in law?

Shen Xi blinked his eyes when he first heard this statement, obviously unable to react.

Zong Ci chuckled, turned his eyes to the three people behind him, and asked, "Who told you that I begged for a wife?"

"It's not important." Yingzhao waved his hands indifferently, still smiling, he saw Shen Xi behind him, and said doubtfully, "This is..."

He had met Zong Ci's assistant before, didn't he look like this?

"Shen Xi." Zong Ci took the initiative to introduce, and joked a lot, "The daughter-in-law I got."

Hearing the word 'daughter-in-law' over and over again, no matter how thick-skinned Shen Xi was, she blushed this time!

Yingzhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.He pointed at Zong Ci, "You kid, you can make jokes. Not bad!"

"Ying, Yingzhao Senior." Shen Xi tried hard to suppress his emotions, and greeted politely, "My name is Shen Xi, yes, yes..."

"It's Xiaoci's daughter-in-law." Yingzhao blinked and answered with a smile.

"No, it's not, I, I..." Shen Xi was at a loss for words, it was wrong to say anything, but he felt extremely hot all over.

Zongci put his arms around Shen Xi and took him to the empty seat to sit down, "Uncle Ying, you are not young anymore, why are you still joking like children?"

Bi Fang teased, "Compared to Xiao Ci, Ah Zhao is obviously more like a junior."

"According to today's terms, I'm young mentally." Yingzhao picked up an apple, threw it up, took it, and gnawed it.

Yingzhao is the youngest among the only surviving ancient six auspicious signs.

For a long time, Fenghuang and the other five Xiangrui have treated Yingzhao as a younger brother.

Yingzhao has a good personality and good looks, so she has countless female friends around her.He has always liked to wander around and play. Fenghuang and the others are well aware of his character, and never bring him back unless it is an emergency.

This time, it was because of Zongci's request that they called Yingzhao and asked Baihuashen to come forward.

"Uncle Ying, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?"

"Let's keep it for now. I heard that there are many interesting things in Jindu these years. I plan to go and have a look." Yingzhao threw the apple core into the trash can and clapped his hands.

Chongming frowned, "I want to play again. You can't do without the word 'play'?"

Yingzhao turned to face him, dissatisfied, "Brother Fang is also very good at playing, and he has countless romantic debts. I am just purely having fun, so why call me the only one?"

"Ahem!" Bi Fang, who had been tricked for no reason, pretended to cough. He glanced at the two juniors, Zong Ci and Shen Xi, and corrected him, "Where did I get the romantic debt? The other party is chasing me!"

"If you don't provoke them, they will pester you?" Yingzhao didn't believe it, "Hmph, a slap is too much."

Bi Fang's head was twitched, he simply raised his hand and said, "I'll slap you on the mouth, do you think it's loud?"

Yingzhao dodged in fright, and then snarled back.

Shen Xi watched them go back and forth, and was amused.

Sitting beside him, Zong Ci whispered in his ear, "...they are like this, they can put on a play for you at any time."

Shen Xi nodded, watching with gusto, "The relationship between the seniors is very good."

"Ah."

Remembering the business, Fenghuang stopped it aloud, "Okay, stop making trouble, it gave me a headache." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the desk.

He picked up the electronic case file on the table, handed it to Zong Ci and Shen Xi, and said, "Take a look, if there is nothing wrong, just enter the electronic fingerprint underneath."

"it is good."

Shen Xi took over the case file, carefully read the contents inside, and after confirming that it was correct, he put his fingerprint on it.

Seeing this, Zong Ci simply pressed his fingerprints.

Seeing that the business was done, Shen Xi couldn't help asking, "Senior Phoenix, is Le Chaoyang in the bureau?"

"Well, they are raised in the medical building behind. The rest of the ordinary people have been transferred to the city hospital." Fenghuang replied.

In this case, no casualties were caused, which is luck among misfortunes.

Shen Xi was thinking about Le Chaoyang, so he told everyone, "I want to go see him."

"Him? Le Chaoyang?" Bi Fang asked.

"Ah."

Fenghuang nodded, "Then you go, Le Chaoyang did nothing wrong this time, no one is arresting him."

"Okay!" Shen Xi got up.

Zong Ci was about to follow, but Bi Fang stopped him, "Xiao Ci, you stay here first, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Zong Ci was taken aback.

Hearing this, Shen Xi only pushed back the resignation, "You stay here first, I'll be back soon!"

Anyway, in the monster game, there is no danger.

"Okay." Zong Ci replied.

After Shen Xi left, Zong Ci looked at Bi Fang and asked, "Uncle Fang?"

Bi Fang looked at him and asked seriously, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just Le Chaoyang's identity, have you verified it? I think he's a bit strange..."

When Zong Ci heard this, he was slightly puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Seeing him like this, Bi Fang had no choice but to talk about Le Chaoyang's affairs in detail...

***

Monster Bureau, Medical Building.

Shen Xi happened to meet An Yin, asked about Le Chaoyang's ward, and left immediately.

The door of the ward was ajar, and Le Chaoyang's sporadic figure could be seen through the crack of the door.

"Knock, knock." Shen Xi knocked on the door politely.

"Who?" came a voice from inside the room.

"Le..." Shen Xi changed his words, "Chao Yang, it's me, Shen Xi."

After all, he opened the door and entered.

When Le Chaoyang saw him, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.He stuffed something back into his bag, "Boss Shen?"

"Just call me Shen Xi." Standing by the door, Shen Xi asked, "Can I go in?"

"Of course." Le Chaoyang put the black backpack aside.

Apparently, the staff in the bureau had returned the backpack to him.

Shen Xi sat down on the armchair beside the bed, carefully looked at Le Chaoyang's face, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Le Chaoyang's eyes showed warmth, "Thank you for your concern."

Seeing that his expression was the same, Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's as long as you're fine. Why did you bump into Tranquility?"

"Tranquility?" Le Chaoyang was puzzled when he heard this strange name, "Shen Xi, can you tell me what happened these two days?"

Seeing his appearance, Shen Xi thought about it for a while, and then truthfully told Le Chaoyang what happened in the past two days.

Le Chaoyang suddenly realized, "So it's like this..."

"What about you?" Shen Xi asked again, "How did you meet Tranquility?"

"After I left your office that day, I ran to rent a house."

It is difficult to rent a house in Jindu, so Le Chaoyang spent a lot of time.

"After finishing the house business, I went to view the garden and enjoy the flowers before the garden closed. When I was alone, I met the Ning and Tranquil Shu you mentioned? You know, I am a demon family, so she didn't fascinate me for a while, but started fighting with me instead."

"and after?"

"Later..." Le Chaoyang hesitated, and only said, "I'm not in good shape, and I'm at a disadvantage."

Shen Xi didn't doubt his words, but nodded, "I see."

"Ah."

Le Chaoyang smiled at him, "I will trouble you about this time."

"It's not a big deal." Shen Xi recalled what Zong Ci said before, and asked tentatively, "Chaoyang, you are... the second prince of the Merman Clan?"

The smile on Le Chaoyang's face froze.

Seeing this, Shen Xi quickly waved his hands to explain, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately inquire about you. To be honest, my lover... is the captain of the Jindu Monster Bureau and the investigation team. This time you and the rest If something goes wrong, it’s up to him.”

"So, I checked your file information."

"So it is."

Le Chaoyang could tell that Shen Xi was not malicious.

"If it's not convenient for you to say, I won't ask." Shen Xi added, lest Le Chaoyang would find it difficult and unpleasant.

"...I ran out this time without telling my family." Le Chaoyang said in a low voice, "I can't tell you the specific reason yet, sorry."

Shen Xi would not force others to make things difficult, but only expressed his understanding, "It's all right, it's just that if you want to live in Jindu, the job that I introduced to you before is probably gone."

After a few days of delay, such an easy and high-paying job must have been snatched away long ago.

"I know, I missed the appointment this time." Le Chaoyang also felt a little regretful.

"Then what... Do you want to come to my office for a try?" Shen Xi suggested.

Le Chaoyang was surprised, "Your firm?"

Shen Xi smiled embarrassingly, "Yes, after the office reopens, the business volume is a bit heavy, and I'm planning to recruit people. Some recruitment and other files need to be sorted out."

"... just occasionally busy."

"Can you?" Le Chaoyang asked, "Can I work in your office?"

Le Chaoyang didn't have many friends since he was a child, and now he is alone in Jindu for the first time.If possible, he really wanted to make friends with Shen Xi.

"I like your personality very much. If possible..." Le Chaoyang lowered his voice, "Salary is a trivial matter, and I rented a place myself."

Shen Xi understood what he meant, and immediately said cheerfully, "No problem! I'll pay for lunch, and I can pay for breakfast and dinner!"

As for the salary, Shen Xi naturally wouldn't treat Le Chaoyang badly.

Shen Xi couldn't be happier to make a friend because of this!

The two chatted for a while, until everything was settled, Shen Xi got up and left, letting Le Chaoyang take a good rest.

***

When Shen Xi was walking back, he happened to meet Zong Ci who came to look for him.

"Zong Ci!"

Shen Xi ran over in a hurry, Zong Ci stretched out his hand and hugged him fully.

"Why are you so happy?" Zong Ci patted his forehead lightly, "It's been so long?"

Shen Xi smiled and told Zong Ci about the matter.

Zongci heard the words, but remained silent.And in his eyes, there was a glimmer of darkness.

"Zong Ci, did you hear that?" Shen Xi tugged at his hand, "I said, I'm also a boss with employees!"

"Be careful, sooner or later, my firm will swallow your detective office!"

Zong Ci took his hand, kissed it, and said with a smile, "Boss Shen Xi, it's getting better and better."

"That's not it." Satisfied, Shen Xi asked again, "Going home?"

"Go home." Zong Ci responded, "Before Boss Shen swallows my detective agency, I will swallow Boss Shen first."

Shen Xi reacted for a moment before he understood Zong Ci's meaning, and immediately shouted, "You are not allowed to mess around tonight!"

***

Le Chaoyang didn't have much to worry about. After two days of recuperation, he went to Shen Xi's office to report.Plus Liuhuo, the 'temporary worker'.

The three hit it off immediately, and after the division of labor and cooperation, the efficiency of the firm's work was indeed much faster.

Even the business of the firm is much better than before.

It's almost the end of the month.

Shen Xi looked at the money in the account and was overjoyed.

After get off work, he and Zongci took Le Chaoyang and Liuhuo with them, and the four planned to have a good meal.

Of course, this time, it was the rich Boss Shen's treat.

Liuhuo and Le Chaoyang would naturally be happy if they could have a meal in vain.

The four of them left the office, and Zong Ci was about to start the car.Unexpectedly, a low voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"and many more."

Pleasing to the ear, just two words are intoxicating.

Everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

A man was standing at the door, his facial features were three-dimensional, like sculptures.And his blue eyes are even more difficult to take away.

The man was wearing a simple black shirt, but his aura was natural.

Zong Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

Shen Xi and Liu Huo looked at each other, but didn't speak for a moment.

Only Le Chaoyang turned pale from the first moment he saw the man.

"Chaoyang."

The man opened his mouth and walked straight towards Le Chaoyang.

Le Chaoyang was visibly flustered, and shouted in a trembling voice, "...Brother."
