Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 283 Surveillance
Ai Liang hesitated for a moment: "...So?"

'It's good if you need it.'

Xia Qiyuan's smug look made him seem incredibly annoying.

"I can help you resolve the issues with your parents."

Believe me, no company wants to get entangled with us prosecutors, including your grandfather.

I will put pressure on your parents to make sure they don't bother you during your three years of high school.

In return, you need to help us investigate Jin Ping'an's movements within the school.

You just need to tell me when he'll take leave. If possible, it would be best to relay any valuable information from their casual conversation.

Okay, so he used his position as a prosecutor to make shady deals with others.

This is indeed something Xia Qiyuan often does, and it has a very two-faced nature.

Back then, he abused his power quite a bit, colluded with the underworld, and went to great lengths for others on a physical level.

The Nevada Police Department received so many complaints that their inboxes nearly burst.

If it weren't for this guy's repeated merits and his ability to leave no room for doubt, he would have been a prime candidate for the position.

They packed up and left a long time ago.

In other words, if Xia Qiyuan had been more honest, he could have relied on his abilities and achievements.

That would be enough to put him in the power center of the Asian Union.

But if Xia Qiyuan cared about power and money, then he wouldn't be Xia Qiyuan.

"Wouldn't it be easier to ask the school teachers directly? Why go through all this trouble and ask me, this problem student?"

Ai Liang still had some reservations about Xia Qiyuan's purpose in approaching her.

I'm afraid this guy isn't just trying to monitor Jin Ping'an through me.

He also wanted to include "Ai Liang" in the monitoring scope.

"Yes, if I try to find out information through the school, he will definitely find out."

Moreover, ordinary students are too naive and easily give themselves away, and they don't have much of a relationship with Jin Ping'an.

"Only you, an outsider who experienced a bank robbery alongside Jin Ping'an, are best suited for this job."

Xia Qiyuan's excuse was perfectly crafted.

Even Ai Liang couldn't find anything wrong with it.

But the complaints still need to be made: "Could Jin Ping'an be the illegitimate son of the underground godfather of Qianhua City?"

In Xia Qiyuan's description.

It seemed as if Jin Ping'an's people were everywhere at Qianhua Experimental Middle School, from teachers to students.

Left with no other choice, these prosecutors had to find Ai Liang, a student from another city, to cooperate with the police in monitoring him.

The plot makes it sound like a low-budget, second-rate TV drama.

Xia Qiyuan couldn't help but complain, "Of course not, he's just involved in some special cases. We can't be sure if there are any people from the school involved. After all, masks are hard to guard against."

Xia Qiyuan closed his eyes, rubbing his temples and complaining, while using the armor's auxiliary system to closely observe the changes in Ai Liang's facial expression.

But the result left him very disappointed.

What is a mask?

Ai Liang asked calmly.

"It's just the name of an organization... It's irrelevant, so it's best if you don't ask too many questions, Ai Liang. After all, it's not easy for me to answer, and you're probably worried about causing trouble, right?"

Xia Qiyuan acted as if nothing had happened and naturally changed the subject.

It is clear.

Even though Gao Bin had already confirmed through his extrasensory perception that Ai Liang's memories were correct.

He still didn't want to easily trust Ai Liang.

Ai Liang retorted, "You've dragged me into this. I'm just thinking about my own safety."

"Why are you so worried? We are prosecutors from the Asian Union. We won't let a student do anything dangerous."

Like an elder, Xia Qiyuan reached out to pat Ai Liang's head.

But under Ai Liang's cold gaze, the hand eventually landed on her shoulder.

Hehe, why wouldn't you feel at ease?

It's all because the prosecutor's name is "Xia Qiyuan, the Two-Faced Man".

To prevent Xia Qiyuan from defaulting on the debt, after the matter was settled, he used the excuse that "even an upright official cannot settle family disputes" to appease himself.

Ai Liang decided to have him pay her in advance: "Then Prosecutor He, would you mind helping me resolve my parents' issues first?"

"If they plan to transfer me to another school soon, it could affect their surveillance."

Xia Qiyuan laughed and said, "What, are you worried that I'll renege on my debt?"

Is that worry?
Why do you think people in the underworld called you two-faced back then?

If I don't tell you, you'll definitely renege on your debt!
Ai Liang maintained her expressionless face: "In this matter, as a student, I am in a vulnerable position. If you end up breaking the agreement because you are worried about offending my grandfather, there is nothing I can do about it."

I will only act according to your ideas if you communicate with them first.

After all, if I don't act according to the agreement, you can retract your warning to my parents at any time; don't worry about me shirking my responsibilities.

Ai Liang had heard about Xia Qiyuan's style of doing things back then, and she had also witnessed it herself.

He harmed more than just people in the black market.

He even took advantage of Yang Xingguo and Shi Hongfang.

Dealing with this kind of scoundrel requires getting the benefits first.

Should we discuss payment afterward?
Go eat your fart!
Ai Liang deliberately used reverse psychology when she spoke.

He brought up his maternal grandfather to provoke Xia Qiyuan.

It's not that Xia Qiyuan, with his thick skin, would fall for a provocation.

Rather, this way of speaking seems more like the tactics a psychologically mature student would use.

To avoid the naturally suspicious Xia Qiyuan from suspecting that Ai Liang knew something about his personality.

Xia Qiyuan chuckled and said, "Haha, you're quite an interesting child. Could it be that you're an adult disguised as a child?"

"You're not the first person to say that to me."

Ai Liang gave a very clever answer, without directly responding to Xia Qiyuan's joke.

The exchange between the two, each harboring their own ulterior motives, made Gao Bin, who was watching from the side, yawn repeatedly.

It's just monitoring individuals, why all the fuss?

Can't people even get a proper rest?

"I said, it's getting late, shouldn't we be leaving?"

Gao Bin, who was only thinking about going back to the hotel to relax, brought Xia Qiyuan's probing to an end.

Xia Qiyuan glanced at the digital clock on the wall; it was indeed getting late.

But Gao Bin's lazy, unambitious demeanor made Xia Qiyuan feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him.

Xia Qiyuan stuffed the note into his pocket and stood up from the sofa: "Then, I'll leave it to Ai Liang to keep an eye on things at school..."

Don't be nervous. It's just that some criminals have their eyes on Jin Ping'an.

We were worried about alerting them, so this was the only way we could lure them in.

Xia Qiyuan was telling the truth, but he didn't tell the whole story.

His guess and Ai Liang's guess coincided to some extent.

However, Ai Liang cannot use her current identity to exchange opinions with Xia Qiyuan.

Otherwise, once the words are out of his mouth, he'll end up mingling with the two of them.

Amid Ai Liang's "farewell," Xia Qiyuan and Gao Bin entered the elevator.
