Li Xiaorui sat on the sofa, not treating himself as an outsider at all. He took out a packet of instant coffee from under the coffee table, boiled water himself, and brewed it leisurely.

"Hiss... ha..." He took a sip of coffee and narrowed his bright peach blossom eyes comfortably:

"Xiaobai, please send me the link for this coffee. It tastes really good."

"You came to my house in the middle of the night just to drink coffee?"

Shen Bai was speechless and glared at him:

"If you have anything to say, just say it. If nothing happens, just finish your coffee and leave. Remember to take the trash with you."

——I still want to live a two-person world with Sister Maoer, hum!

Li Xiaorui had a good temper in front of Shen Bai. He was not angry at all, he just smiled and said:

"Which of us brothers is following which? Brother, I want to ask you one more thing."

"Sneaking into the kindergarten again?"

"No, it's more exciting than this. Let's go to Gu Cheng Maintenance Company!" Li Xiaorui paused and then said:

"You were promoted to warrior yesterday, don't you want to try your own strength?"

Shen Bai nodded:

"Okay, my body has been rusty recently, when should we go?"

"Let's do it now, we can go home and sleep after finishing our work."

"good!"

"Uh... Xiaobai."

"What are you doing again?"

"You agreed so happily, aren't you afraid that I will trick you? For example, I will trick you into becoming a gun user..."

"Ah?" Shen Bai frowned and looked at him:

"Would you do this?"

"Of course I won't..."

"That's fine." Shen Bai shrugged:

"I trust you."

Li Xiaorui's peach blossom eyes glowed beautifully, and he was not afraid of disturbing the people. He picked up Shen Bai while yelling, lifted him high, and spun him around in the air:

"Ah ah ah, Xiaobai, if you are a woman, I must be with you!"

Shen Bai: "..."

Hey! Stop! Didn't you see that the black cat on the bookshelf has started to show its teeth?

All mankind is at risk!

…

Ten minutes later, Shen Bai and Li Xiaorui appeared outside the community.

There were a few shallow scratches on each of their faces.

"Damn it...Xiaobai, why is your cat so mean? Didn't it just take a sip of your coffee and scratch me?"

Shen Bai glanced at him and said nothing.

It's easy to scratch you, but if you were a woman, Lanhai City would no longer exist!

"Let's talk about business." Li Xiaorui put his arms around Shen Bai's shoulders and walked forward:

"I went back and thought about it carefully, and I felt more and more that there was something wrong with the Gu Cheng Maintenance Company."

"Think about it, what time is it now? It's the eve of the signing of the Twin Cities Alliance! The entire city is under martial law, and vehicles must obtain permits before they can go on the road."

"But Gu Cheng Maintenance Company has chosen this job at this time. This is a sewage system renovation project for kindergartens in Lanhai City. The profits are so huge that we don't even know how much water is generated in a day!"

"Why do we have to do this project in such a harsh environment? In a few days, after the dust of the Twin Cities Alliance has settled, wouldn't it be nice to start working again and make money steadily?"

Shen Bai nodded thoughtfully:

"You mean..."

"Yes! That's right!" Li Xiaorui almost had a "$" sign in his eyes:

"I guess that this project was not carried out properly. The boss of Gu Cheng Maintenance Company just wanted to make quick money and finish the work first. As long as he seizes the time to complete the renovation of the sewer system of kindergartens in the city, can Lanhai City still accept the credit? "

Shen Bai tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that what Li Xiaorui said did make sense, but what does this have to do with the task given to him by the Public Security Bureau?

Seeing Shen Bai scratching his head, Li Xiaorui hated the fact that iron cannot become steel and said:

"You are stupid. There must be an ulterior reason behind why Gu Cheng Maintenance Company is rushing to build a project at this time. What is that? That's the handle!"

Shen Bai stopped, widened his eyes and said:

"Are you asking for blackmail?"

"What blackmail, what blackmail?" Li Xiaorui scratched his neck and argued:

"Can what happened to the police detectives be called extortion?"

"Uh... after you get hold of Gu Cheng Maintenance Company, will they bribe you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, the more I talk about it, the more unpleasant it sounds. This is not bribery, this is proactively admitting mistakes and actively remediating them..."

"Okay, stop it!"

Shen Bai glanced at Li Xiaorui and walked back:

"I can't do this. I have to go to you. I'm going home to sleep."

Li Xiaorui quickly grabbed Shen Bai and persuaded him in a good voice:

"Why are you being so serious? Xiaobai, you have to relax your thinking. We went to Gu Cheng Maintenance Company, and we borrowed the name of kindergarten investigation. It is absolutely justified!"

"And if you think about it, if this company has secrets, it must be related to bad business competition. This is illegal in our Lanhai City. It is reasonable for us to earn their ill-gotten gains!"

Shen Bai was unmoved at all and just said calmly:

"No matter how you explain it, you can't avoid the core essence of this matter - this is blackmail, and you are a police detective!"

Because of the curfew, there were few pedestrians on the street. The moonlight shone on Shen Bai and Li Xiaorui, making their shadows grow long.

"Oh, it's preaching again." Li Xiaorui shook his head and said indifferently:

"Xiao Bai, like my father and Uncle Xiao, you all believe that agents have certain moral obligations... But in fact, this is just a job, right?"

"The federal government provides money to set up a security station, and the security office pays my monthly salary to my card. This is the most normal employment relationship. Why do I have to be a morally perfect person when I am here?"

Shen Bai didn't hesitate at all and retorted directly:

"But you swore an oath under the flag of the Confederacy."

"Yes, I swore an oath! But so what?" Li Xiaorui's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, full of disdain:

"That oath is so damn well made, [I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Federation and humanity]! Hehe, hehe!"

"When my old man was young, he erected a Confederate flag in the living room of his house. Every morning, he would recite the oath to the broken flag, from the time he was sensible until he was arrested, without interruption!"

"But what was the result? Ha, I was arrested in the blink of an eye and imprisoned for ten years!"

"Someone forced him to choose between a few innocent children and an escaped fugitive. How should he choose? No matter what he chooses, the outcome will be the same!"

"After he went in, his mother was gone, and all the valuable things in the house were taken away, auctioned, and compensation was paid to the family members who came to make trouble. I didn't even have a hot water bottle at the time!"

"Oh, of course, the broken flag was not taken away, ha! Do you think it's ridiculous? The Confederate flag that countless people are watching and swearing by is actually worse than a hot water kettle in people's eyes!"

"In those years, whenever I saw the Confederate flag he hung in the living room, I had only one thought in my mind."

"What a federation! What an oath! What an agent's glory! It's all bullshit! It's all bullshit!"

Under the moonlight, Li Xiaorui sneered, his voice firm:
Chapter completed!
