Yan Chenli received Shao Dongmi’s call before going into work. At this time, the battlefield outside of the Criminal Investigation Bureau was already so ardent it could swallow Shao Dongmi whole. Lead by Gong Xiaolu and Xi Yue, his colleagues directed their violent barrage at him in a comprehensive mental and physical attack.

“I heard you were the only person to pass the interview? Why? On what grounds? You were the last person to see Captain Yan, right? What else did he say? Speak! Stand up straight, why are you slumping?!” Gong Xiaolu grabbed him by the back of the neck and kept lifting him up.

“Shao Dongmi, what kind of devious tricks did you fucking play?! Did you lie?! How could Captain Yan think you’re capable? Damn it, I won’t allow it!! Look at your face, you think you’re so great huh? Don’t think so highly of yourself!!” Xi Yue grabbed him by the tie and kept dragging him down.

Shao Dongmi was pushed and shoved into a chaotic circle by the crowd, looking like a boneless chicken foot being kneaded into a ball and flattened out, while thinking how awful, how could it be so awful.

Can you not pull at me? Yesterday’s suit got torn into a vest, don’t tear me some beach shorts today.

A black Chevrolet parked in front of the doors, and the crowd moved their eyes towards it in unison.

“Yo, how lively, are you all here to send Dongmi off?” Yan Chenli leaned against the car door with a bright smile.

You’re the vile main culprit, and you’re still smiling!! Shao Dongmi glared at him tearfully.

Although Yan Chenli’s character was gentle, his prestige as supervisor was still there, so the chaotic crowd all calmed down at the same time. Especially Xi Yue, he immediately let go of the hand he was dragging Shao Dongmi’s tie with and took a step back obediently, not spouting a single word.

“You can’t do that, right?!! Captain!! How could you judge that everyone is unqualified?!” Gong Xiaolu, who was the only one with work still in mind, walked to him in big strides and an excited expression, completely unaware that he was still carrying Shao Dongmi and dragging him along.

“Those unsuitable are unsuitable, I regret it more than you.” Yan Chenli took Shao Dongmi from Gong Xiaolu without explaining himself and put him in the co-pilot seat, waving his hand with a splendid smile, “Okay, we should be going. We’re off.”

The car door closed, and the uproar of the people outside was reduced by half in an instant. Shao Dongmi let out a breath, as if he had just successfully avoided falling into the circle of zombies and gone into a shelter.

The car shook, and Yan Chenli also sat in the driver’s seat and pulled the door closed. He started the car with a cheerful expression which seemed completely unaffected by the high-pressure scene, “Didn’t sleep well? Look at your tired appearance. There’s still an hour until we get to the airport, so you can sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”

“Yeah… I didn’t sleep a wink last night…” Shao Dongmi leaned back and melted into the seat, weakly pulling down his seatbelt.

“What a coincidence, I also didn’t sleep yesterday.” Yan Chenli smiled from ear to ear as he energetically changed gears, full of vitality, “I rarely come back to Yinjiang, so I was itching to go to the orchestra and play my instrument all night. I didn’t expect that you’d be waiting for me so early, so I rushed over as soon as I got your call.”

Shao Dongmi trembled as he glanced at him: “……”

1 If you’ve never seen this please google some videos omg its hilarious. Top.

2 A more accurate translation would be something like ‘collected hands display hall’ but I decided to stick with the morbid play on words my original translation resulted in :). Top.

3 Whatever was put in the coffee was censored in the raws, but I went with cyanide since it reminded me of the chicago tylenol murders (TL;DR: tylenol bottles laced with cyanide resulted in 7 deaths in 1982 and the perpetrator was never officially found). Top.

4 You’ve probably already figured it out but this story takes place in a fictional version of earth, so don’t let the geography/history (or lack thereof) confuse you. Top.
