Wu Xu was immediately silent; this method seemed amazingly ideal at first glance. No need to work, just keep collecting a salary without doing anything, as long as there are no major cases. How wonderful is that? You have to understand, with society being so advanced, there are hardly any big cases.

However, upon closer consideration, it's not right; this is definitely not a good thing.

Being extra-staff still means being within the system. Once you agree, you're no longer in control. Just imagine, now there's the assassin girl and others—on the surface, the peace is just for the common people. There must be many unimaginable cases waiting to be handled. If I agree, I won't live a peaceful life in the future.

Thinking this, Wu Xu decisively shook his head: "Even being extra-staff won't do. The further away I am from your system, the better. Your waters are too murky; a shark may pop out at any moment, and I'm not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth."

Zhao Qian immediately felt an itch in her teeth with hate. This bastard, why is he immune to persuasion? All that smooth talking and he's not tempted at all. Does he not have feelings and desires?

"Fine, there's one last method. If you don't agree, don't blame me for not being polite," Zhao Qian said, full of resentment.

"What method?" Wu Xu looked troubled. But inside, he was ready to take his leave. A mere abalone meal couldn't be enough to sell himself so cheaply.

"Give me a verbal agreement, that you'll help me unconditionally with any problems Junshan can't solve in the future," Zhao Qian stared at Wu Xu, as if she was set to fight to the end if he didn't agree.

However, Wu Xu felt that this might be acceptable, considering it's only a verbal agreement, depending on the circumstances.

Yet Wu Xu looked at Zhao Qian weirdly and said, "Why are you so insistent on me? Do you really think I'm so powerful? Omnipotent?"

Seeing that Wu Xu hadn't directly refused, preserving a bit of her dignity, Zhao Qian's expression brightened, and she said proudly, "Of course, I see potential in you. First, you have strength; this can be seen from how you dealt with the assassin. Second, your mysterious predictive ability; this is most important, We, the police handling cases, fear most missing the truth. Your strong sixth sense might fill in our gaps."

Wu Xu was speechless. Is this even a reason? The vast Chinese police system, can it not function without me? This girl isn't using her office for personal purposes to keep me around, is she?

At this moment, a waiter knocked on the door to deliver the meal.

Wu Xu wasn't good to inquire further, and Zhao Qian also showed a pleased look because Wu Xu hadn't refused the last condition.

"Heh, to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, today's meal is on me. Eat as much as you can," Zhao Qian said generously.

"Hmph, don't get too pleased with yourself. I can agree to this last condition, but I need you to do something for me," Wu Xu suddenly said.

"What's that? Just tell me," Zhao Qian said bravely.

"I need comprehensive information about Mayor Zhong, including his family and any other secret information you have," Wu Xu stated indifferently.

Zhao Qian's bold expression froze on her face, and she looked at Wu Xu in astonishment: "What do you want Mayor Zhong's information for?"

"That's none of your concern, but don't tell me you guys don't have any private information about Mayor Zhong. Even though I haven't experienced it within your system, haven't I seen pork even though I haven't seen pigs run? I need that information by tomorrow. Can you do it?" Wu Xu didn't give Zhao Qian any reason to refuse.

Zhao Qian hesitated, her eyes flickering, her mind racing as she considered the real reason Wu Xu wanted this information.

"Can you or can you not, why the hesitation? If you can't do it, then I won't ask for your help anymore, and we'll see how things go," Wu Xu's tone was calm, but the message was clear—if you don't give it to me, there's no deal.

Zhao Qian listened, seething with anger. What the hell is this guy playing at?

Yet no matter how much she thought about it, Zhao Qian couldn't figure out what Wu Xu intended to do. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I can give it to you. Can you tell me what you plan to do with it?"

"Nothing much, just that recently I've been feeling a certain rapport with Zhong Chou and am quite curious about him, so I want to understand him more deeply," Wu Xu said with a smile, revealing a chilling set of white teeth.

Zhao Qian rolled her eyes. As if anyone would believe that.

"All right, I'll give you the information, but I hope you won't do anything outrageous. Remember, I'm a cop, so don't make things difficult for me," Zhao Qian said with a serious tone.

"Got it, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, you won't become an accomplice," Wu Xu chuckled.

"Jerk!" Zhao Qian was instantly annoyed in her heart, but thinking of the conditions Wu Xu had agreed to earlier, binding him to her, she decided there would be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson later, and did not make a scene right there. There would be time to settle new and old scores.

"Mmm, this lobster is huge, and so meaty," Wu Xu said, picking up an Australian lobster and eating with relishing sounds, ignoring Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian's good mood vanished, she poured herself a drink, and drowned her sorrows alone with the liquor, having no desire to clink glasses with Wu Xu.

The meal took about an hour, and Wu Xu, patting his bulging belly, smiled contentedly, "This is really the first time I've tasted such foreign delicacy in my life. Thanks, Sister Qian."

True to her reputation for being a heavy drinker, Zhao Qian finished a bottle of Moutai by herself without changing her expression. Seeing Wu Xu's smug look, she felt extremely irritated.

"Just enjoy the meal, and in the future, don't say that I haven't treated you well."

"How could I say that? Sister Qian, your kindness to me, Wu Xu, will be deeply engraved in my heart, remembered day and night, never to be forgotten," Wu Xu said with a sly smile.

Zhao Qian rolled her eyes, feeling completely out of tricks with Wu Xu; the guy was like a dead pig - not afraid of boiling water or scorching fire and very slippery.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's go. I've got other stuff to do this afternoon. I'll bring the information to Junshan University's gym tomorrow; you can get it from Ding Ye," Zhao Qian said indifferently.

"That'll work, then no need to see me off," Wu Xu said as he stood up, chuckling.

After leaving the hotel, Zhao Qian had no intention of giving Wu Xu a lift, driving off alone in her patrol car, leaving Wu Xu silently feeling embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Then Wu Xu's gaze turned towards the direction of Junshan University.

Feeling content and lascivious after a fulfilling meal, his mind naturally wandered to the image of Liu Yanyan - her fiery figure, her seductive face, and that tantalizing little tongue.

"Man, why is time passing so slowly today? It's not even eight o'clock yet, and there are still hours to go. It's like days are years."

The moon was hidden, and the stars were scant, making the hills behind Junshan University seem peaceful in the darkness, with only the sound of crickets chirping in the bushes.

Wu Xu sneakily climbed the hill, referred to as Lover Mountain for its thick, lush vegetation, and sat on a large stone, facing the wind, feeling refreshed.

Although it was only a little past seven o'clock, it got dark early in the summer, and on this night with the moon obscured, everything looked incredibly hazy.

Wu Xu feared that Liu Yanyan might not be able to find him, so he had chosen this large stone as a meeting spot to make himself visible.

While waiting for Liu Yanyan, Wu Xu calmed his mind and quietly observed his surroundings.

You have to admit, this place is a natural haven for outdoor trysts; the bushes were deep and dense, and there was a row of trees below for cover. As long as the woman's screams weren't too loud, basically, no one would notice.

Liu Yanyan asking him to meet in such a spot - she really had plans ahead of time!

Anxiously waiting, he finally heard some rustling after a while.

Wu Xu's heart leapt with joy, but in the next moment, his face froze. Why were there two figures? Could it be that Liu Yanyan brought another liberal girl, preparing for a wild threesome outdoors?
