A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1527 Training Camp? Turning the tables, that takes real skill! (Please subscribe!)

The fact that Li Jiahao, nicknamed "Rat," walked right into the trap left Xu Pingqiu and the others at the base completely bewildered.
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't that kid from the Gopher Burrowing Team? Why would someone like that call the police to arrest himself?"

Lin Yujing said from the side:

"Didn't our people see Yu Zui ask him to go to the bank to withdraw money? Could it be that he's putting himself in jail for a few days to avoid Yu Zui?"

A plainclothes man standing nearby chuckled:

"I think it's very likely. In the last two days, Yu Zui arrested him twice and certainly took a lot of money from him!"

Lin Yujing asked Xu Pingqiu, "Captain Xu, does what Yu Zui did constitute a violation of discipline?"

Xu Pingqiu smiled:
"What rules did he break? He didn't steal or rob, and the other party is willing to spend money on him. That's skillful. I'm starting to admire this kid more and more!"

Everyone around laughed, and Lin Yujing pouted, unconvinced, and said:
"You're being biased! I don't think he's good at anything; he has a whole host of flaws!"

Xu Pingqiu sighed, seemingly lost in thought, and said in a voice only he could hear:

"Having flaws is a good thing; without flaws, how would an undercover agent be!"

Lin Yujing didn't hear what he said clearly and asked, "Director Xu, what did you say?"

Xu Pingqiu came to her senses:
"It's nothing. By the way, didn't that guy named Haozi turn himself in? Transfer him to Fu Guosheng's cell; he might come in handy later!"

On the other side, Hua Shier bought a map of Guangzhou and was drawing circles on it with a pen.

In Yu Zui's memory, after the training bus entered Guangzhou, they were all blindfolded, and every so often, a classmate who had come to participate in the training would be dropped off.

From the moment he was blindfolded, Yu Zui began to silently calculate the distance the bus traveled, sense its direction, and mentally record the intervals between stops.

So now, Huashi can use this memory to find the approximate location where students get off the bus by using the city entrance as an anchor point on the map.

Hua Shier's first target was An Jialu.

An Jialu is the goddess of the police academy, Yu Zui's ideal woman, and the catalyst for their jealousy and brawl at the academy.

The training bus entered the city from the north, and An Jialu was the first person dropped off.

Since she got off the bus, she has had limited time and no money, so her movement range should not exceed two or three kilometers within a radius of where she got off the bus.

Hua Shier took a taxi straight to that area. After getting out of the car, he didn't search aimlessly or use magic to calculate. Instead, he went directly to the nearest supermarket and saw An Jialu in the bakery section.

An Jialu looked somewhat haggard. She walked to the cake counter in front of the tasting trays, but before she could speak, the server quickly took away the trays and said to her:
"Sorry, our event has ended!"

An Jialu swallowed hard, pointed to the small pieces of cake cut into the tasting plate, and asked:

"But there were still so many left, how could it have ended so quickly?"

The waiter said irritably, "I recognize you because you come here every day. You only eat and don't buy anything. You're so pretty, how can you be so shameless!"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at An Jialu.

An Jialu's face turned bright red; at that moment, she felt like she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:

"Who said my girlfriend only eats and doesn't buy anything? She forgot her money yesterday, so what's wrong with buying some today?"

An Jialu recognized the person from the voice and turned around in surprise: "Yu Zui!"

"Wait a minute!"

Hua Shier walked over and pointed to several types of bread that looked quite appealing:
"This, this, and this—take them all with you!"

An Jialu asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the money?"

Hua Shier gave her a wink, then directed the waiter to pack it up.

Seeing that he pointed to five types of bread, the cheapest of which was over twenty yuan, the waiter quickly wrapped them up for him and handed them over, saying as she did so:
Welcome back next time!

Hua Shier took the bread and said to the waiter:

"Apologize to my girlfriend now!"

The waiter looked at Hua Shier with the eyes of someone who thought he was crazy.
"Your girlfriend came to sample the food for two consecutive days, and then didn't buy anything. I said, so what if she's shameless? Why should I apologize to her?"

Hua Shier waved the bread in his hand: "Actually, we bought it!"

"Furthermore, the legal nature of food tasting has never been a forced transaction."

"According to Article 14 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, consumers have the right to have their personal dignity respected when purchasing and using goods and receiving services."

Article 27 further stipulates that business operators shall not insult or defame consumers!

Article 50 stipulates that if a business operator infringes upon a consumer's personal dignity, the business operator shall cease the infringement, restore the consumer's reputation, eliminate the impact, apologize, and compensate for the losses.

"In other words, regardless of whether my girlfriend's tasting behavior was appropriate or not, the business has no right to launch personal attacks and insults against her!"

"Now you understand why we have the right to demand an apology? It's a right granted to us by law."

Hua Shier looked at the waiter and said seriously:

"I'm a lawyer. Are you sure you don't want to apologize and want to make this a big deal out of it? Then I'll have to talk to your boss!"

An Jialu only ate some of the items that the merchants allowed her to sample because she was hungry. She did not open the packaged goods on the shelf, did not secretly put them in her pocket, and did not damage any property.

As a waiter, you can refuse to let her try the food if she doesn't buy anything. There's no need to be so harsh, let alone verbally insult her!
The surrounding customers started talking louder; some nodded, and others whispered in agreement.

Upon hearing that Hua Shier was a lawyer and had recited so many legal clauses, the waiter suddenly felt guilty and quickly forced a smile at An Jialu.
"I'm sorry, beautiful lady, I spoke rudely. I didn't mean it. I apologize!"

An Jialu quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Then, pulling on Hua Shier's arm, she whispered, "Let's go quickly!"

After leaving the mall, An Jialu's gaze towards Hua Shier was different:
How do you know so many legal provisions?

Hua Shier bought a cup of milk tea from a street vendor and handed it to An Jialu, smiling as he said:
"We're studying at police academy, so it's perfectly normal for us to learn more about the law!"

An Jialu was speechless. It was necessary to study law at police academy, but how could you memorize the Consumer Rights Protection Law so well? What did that law have to do with being a police officer?
However, that was the end of the topic. What An Jialu was more curious about was how Hua Shier found her and where the money to buy bread came from.

She voiced her doubts.

Hua Shier laughed and said, "Making money isn't hard, is it? As for how I found you—when we came here by car, I used the entrance to the city before I put on my blindfold as an anchor point and memorized the distance each person got off the bus, as well as the turning points of the vehicles. You were the first one to get off, so it was easy to find where you got off."

"Then I analyzed your personal situation: your family is well-off, but you don't have any life skills that can easily earn money, so you'll probably go hungry for the next couple of days. If you want to eat, you'll have to go to the supermarket to freeload. So as soon as I got to where you got off the bus, I looked for the nearest shopping mall, and sure enough, I found you there."

After Hua Shier finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow: "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

An Jialu felt indignant that he made her sound so useless: "You just got lucky. Besides, who said I can't make money? Can't I go get a job?"

Hua Shier scoffed, "Neither of us has any status. If you go to work, you definitely won't get a good job; you'll only be able to do manual labor or wait on others. You're a rich family's daughter, nicknamed 'Princess An' at school. What can you do? Let's not even talk about anything else; could you even be a restaurant waitress?"

An Jialu couldn't refute it. She had seen some restaurants hiring waitresses in the past two days, but she had never thought of applying.

At this moment, An Jialu felt that Yu Zui's observation and reasoning abilities were truly impressive.

She suddenly felt that Yu Zui, who was usually carefree and irresponsible, seemed a little different.

Much more reliable than before!
After eating a piece of bread and drinking a cup of milk tea, An Jialu smiled contentedly.

"This is the most I've eaten in the past two days."

Hua Shier said, "Let's go after we've finished eating. Let's find the others first, then I'll treat you to a big meal."

In the temporary base, Lin Yujing saw through the surveillance camera that Yu Zui and An Jialu had huddled together and were calling to Xu Pingqiu, who was resting with his eyes closed:

"Director Xu, there's new information. Number 8 and Number 6 have gotten together. I really don't know how he found Number 6."

Xu Pingqiu watched the replay of the surveillance video, a look of surprise and delight in her eyes:
"It's keen observation and precise reasoning. Do you remember when this kid was counting distances on his fingers in the car? If I'm not mistaken, he remembered where everyone before him got off."

Lin Yujing exclaimed, "How is this possible? I thought he was just faking it!"

Xu Pingqiu said with a faint smile, "This kid's insight and logical thinking skills are really suited for our line of work!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Hua Shier hailed a taxi, and after getting in with An Jialu, he gave her an address.

An Jialu asked, "Who are we going to see next?"

"Looking for Xiao Luo!"

"Luo Jialong? Tell me, how should we find him?"

An Jialu still didn't believe Yu Zui was that powerful, so she took the opportunity of looking for someone to see if what he had just said was true.

Hua Shier laughed and said, "What's so difficult about that? Xiao Luo is a computer expert. If he wants to earn money as quickly as possible when he has no money at all, there's only one place he can go!"

Following Hua Shier's train of thought, An Jialu's eyes lit up:
"cybercafe?"

Hua Shier snapped his fingers: "You got it right, but there's no prize!"

After getting off the bus, Hua Shier recalled Yu Zui's memories:

"Xiao Luo should have gotten off around here. Now all we need to do is find the nearest internet cafe!"

The two asked a few young people nearby for directions and quickly found the nearest internet cafe. After pushing open the door, they saw a group of people gathered around the innermost seats, occasionally exclaiming and cheering.

Then someone shouted in surprise:
"Holy crap, the Purple Gold Ring! My set is finally complete!"

Hua Shier smiled slightly and walked over with An Jialu. Sure enough, they saw the person surrounded by people, who was none other than his roommate Luo Jialong!
At this moment, Luo Jialong was helping someone play a game for them. He said to the kid who had just shouted at him:
"Fifty, pay up now!"

The young man wasn't stingy; he took out fifty yuan and handed it to Luo Jialong.

As Luo Jialong operated the machine, he said, "Let me tell you, I'm giving you a discount by charging you fifty. If this were auctioned online, you wouldn't be able to buy it for five hundred!"

Another person said, "Dude, it's my turn. Hurry up and help me play!"

Hua Shier raised her chin triumphantly at An Jialu, as if to say, "See? I told you so."

He turned and called out, "Little Luo, it's time to pack up and go!"

Upon seeing Hua Shier and An Jialu, Luo Jialong exclaimed with delight, "Yu'er, An Jialu!"

He quickly stood up and said to those who had asked him to play for them:

My friend is here to see me, another day, another day!

After the three of them left the internet cafe, Luo Jialong heard from An Jialu about how Hua Shier found them, and couldn't help but exclaim how awesome it was!
Next, based on the personalities and abilities of the others, Hua Shier deduced that Zhang Meng, who made money by taking beatings for others on the street, the fat Mouse who ran a spinach stall, and Wang Shenxiu, who lived off women in nightclubs.

They successfully gathered Yu Zui's three roommates together.

Finally, they found Zhou Wenjuan, who was working as a waitress in a restaurant!

It's worth mentioning that a pretty, petite girl was now standing next to Mouse.

According to Mouse, he met her when he was running a spinach stall. The girl had just come to the big city from her rural hometown, and her luggage was stolen. She was in dire straits, and he helped her by taking her in.

Everyone noticed that the way the younger sister looked at the mouse was different, which clearly indicated that something was going to happen.

Hua Shier laughed and said, "I always thought that with your looks, Mouse, finding a partner would be a huge problem. But I never expected that you would find true love after only two or three days apart!"

Just as Mouse was about to tell Hua Shier to stop talking nonsense, he noticed that the little girl's face was flushed, but she didn't object and was looking at him affectionately. He felt secretly pleased and chuckled to himself.

An Jialu asked Hua Shier, "Yu'er, what do we do next?"

Hua Twelve chuckled and said:
"It's not easy to get everyone together, so of course we should celebrate. I'll treat you to a big meal, but before that, I have a plan for you guys, would you like to hear it?"

Everyone asked what the plan was.

Hua Shier raised his wristwatch: "Let's take care of this first. Come on, let's go to the bathhouse. You guys haven't showered for days, have you? I'll treat you to a welcome-back feast!"

At this moment, An Jialu suddenly said, "Yu'er, have you forgotten someone?"

Hua Shier guessed who she was referring to, but pretended not to know and asked, "Forgot someone? Who?"

"Thaw it!"

Jie Bing is the one who got into a fight with Yu Zui because of jealousy, and he is also An Jialu's nominal boyfriend.

No one else spoke, but Hua Twelve smiled and said:
"If you're not on the same wavelength, don't force yourselves to be together. They're good students; why would they be mixed up with us in this kind of assessment?"

Mouse, Xiao Luo, and Wang Shenxiu all nodded in agreement.

An Jialu thought about it and agreed. Putting these people together with Jie Bing would only lead to them not getting along, so it would be better to let Jie Bing complete the assessment on his own.

The group found a bathhouse. After entering, Hua Shier called them aside and then used An Jialu's hair clip from his underwear to remove the wristwatches that were used for tracking on their wrists.

After everyone had showered, Hua Shier paid the bill and led them out the back door, avoiding the surveillance cameras.

Two hours later, Xu Pingqiu, who was monitoring the trainees at the base, finally sensed that something was wrong:

"Why haven't they made a move since the 8th? Their location signal hasn't changed for two hours!"

Lin Yujing pouted and said, "Didn't they go to the bathhouse? They took a bath and got a massage, and maybe they'll want more."

Xu Pingqiu decisively said, "Something's not right. That kid Yu Zui is no simpleton. We can't let our guard down. Send a team in to check if he's still there!"

Ten minutes later, a team reported: "Director Xu, something's happened! They threw their watches in the bathhouse's trash can, and the people are gone!"

Lin Yujing said angrily, "It must have been Yu Zui who did this. It's outrageous! He has no discipline at all!"

Xu Pingqiu, however, was not in a hurry at all:
"If they got away, it means they're capable; if you lost them, it means your job isn't up to par. Hurry up and go look for them!"

The plainclothes officers around them looked grim; they hadn't expected to be tricked by the trainee. They all replied, "Yes, sir!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Hua Shier led everyone to the seafood buffet he and Haozi had gone to that day.

An Jialu and the others hadn't had a proper meal in days, so now they were eating to their hearts' content.

As An Jialu stuffed something into her mouth, she asked, "Yu'er, can you tell me your plan now?"

The others slowed down their eating pace and looked over at Hua Twelve.

Hua Twelve smiled slightly and said:

“I’ve thought about it. Training camp is all about testing individual skills and teamwork. So I plan to turn the tables – we’ll find Xu Pingqiu’s base and take it down. That’s the only way we can show our true abilities.”

The others exchanged glances, smiled, and nodded in agreement.
