Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

"Xu Ye?"

Inside the police car, Zhang Guicheng said with some surprise.

"Who?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Yufan, the criminal police captain in the passenger seat, sat up slightly in surprise.

"Yes, Master!" Zhang Guicheng said excitedly.

On the way here, Zhang Guicheng had already told him about Xu Ye's promise to come and provide guidance.

Although most of the benefits went to the SWAT team, goodwill was still indispensable, and it would make future cooperation with the SWAT team much easier, wouldn't it?
"Over there at the ticket office!"

Zhang Guicheng released the steering wheel with his right hand and pointed at Xu Ye.

"Drive well!"

Wan Yufan quickly reminded him.

This kid has only had his driver's license for a few years, and he's already too daring.

Zhang Guicheng scratched his head sheepishly and quickly gripped the steering wheel tightly; he had been too excited just now.

Fortunately, he was already familiar with driving this beat-up police car.

"Stay calm when things happen!" Wan Yufan advised, looking in the direction he had just pointed.

At this moment, Xu Ye also turned his head to look over.

"Brother Ye, why are there so many police cars?" Tao Linlin also noticed the police cars driving in this direction and was a little curious.

Could these police cars be related to the scenic area being closed today?
"Maybe!"

Xu Ye casually said, "Looks like we can't have fun today. Shall we go back to the city and wander around?"

Given the situation, it's highly unlikely that the scenic area will be able to resume operations today, and Xu Ye doesn't feel any regret.

My hometown is here, and the Longmen Grottoes are here too. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Okay, shall we go shopping?" Tao Linlin asked.

After she fell ill, she stopped going shopping.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say today!" Xu Ye said indulgently.

At that time, Tao Linlin, who was still in elementary school, was in a bad mood and always tried her best to cheer herself up.

So, let alone accompanying her shopping, Xu Ye would do anything to make her happy.

"Let's go quickly!" Tao Linlin pulled Xu Ye towards the parking lot.

The Longmen Grottoes are nowhere as lively as the city. I can come anytime I want in the future.

"You slow down!"

Xu Ye reminded him.

"I'm all better now, Brother Ye, you can't treat me like a patient!" Tao Linlin protested.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

This is a great attitude, and Xu Ye is happy to see it. He doesn't want this little ray of sunshine to be affected.

So far, the recovery is going very well, and both the body and the mood are great.

"Xu Ye!"

Zhang Guicheng parked the car and waved vigorously at Xu Ye, showing no signs of waking up from a hangover.

It seems the hangover cure is working well.

"It sounds like Brother Cheng!" Tao Linlin heard it too.

"it's him!"

Xu Ye nodded and led her over.

It seems this is the case he was talking about before. Judging from the scale of the operation, it must be quite serious.

Considering this is the Longmen Grottoes, it's most likely not a murder case, but probably related to cultural relics, Xu Ye thought to himself.

Henan Province, like neighboring Shaanxi Province, especially places like Luocheng, is a place where if you dig a little deeper, you might just find cultural relics, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Money can be a powerful motivator, so it's no surprise that thefts of cultural relics occur frequently.

Not to mention this era, it has not been completely eradicated in the future, and some talented individuals have even become "self-taught" and successfully raided tombs.

Of course, Xu Ye didn't have any particular thoughts on it; he didn't have the time to get involved.

"Captain, this is Xu Ye. Xu Ye, this is our captain, Wan Yufan!" Zhang Guicheng quickly introduced the two.

"Hello, Comrade Xu Ye, I've heard so much about you!" Wan Yufan greeted him warmly, even using honorifics.

Wan Yufan naturally knew Xu Ye, a famous figure in Luocheng, not to mention all the things Zhang Guicheng had said on the way here.

"Hello, Captain Wan, you flatter me!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

After exchanging a few polite words, noticing more and more police officers getting out of the car, Xu Ye said, "Captain Wan, I won't disturb your work any longer."

If you don't want to get involved, then just state your position directly.

"Alright, Comrade Xu, when would be a convenient time for me to visit you again in the next couple of days?" Captain Wan adopted a very humble attitude.

With a "master" like Xu Ye, who is usually impossible to invite, being willing to come, Wan Yufan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

"Captain Wan, have Zhang Guicheng contact me later!" Xu Ye glanced at Zhang Guicheng beside him and said with a smile.

Zhang Guicheng is my good brother. Now that I've made it big, I'll help him out if I can.

Besides, it was just something I did on a whim.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Comrade Xu!" Wan Yufan naturally understood what Xu Ye meant.

"Team Leader Wan, Lao Zhang, you're busy, we'll be going now!" Xu Ye waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Goodbye, Brother Cheng!"

Tao Linlin said goodbye to Zhang Guicheng and turned to follow him.

"Xiao Zhang, you have a good classmate!" Wan Yufan looked at his apprentice with some emotion.

With his education, ability, and now Xu Ye's connections, this apprentice of mine will have a smoother and higher career path than I have!

“Master, we are good brothers!” Zhang Guicheng said excitedly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up, the bureau leaders will be here soon." Wan Yufan glanced at Xu Ye as he left and urged him on.

This case has even alarmed the bureau leaders, putting Wan Yufan under immense pressure.

"Okay, Master!"

Zhang Guicheng waved to the two people not far away again and quickly followed.

"Brother Ye, are there really tomb raiders?"

Once in the car, Tao Linlin asked with some curiosity.

I'd only ever seen this on TV and in newspapers before, and it always felt so far removed from my own life. I never imagined I'd actually encounter it today.

"Of course!"

Xu Ye gestured for her to fasten her seatbelt, saying, "Henan Province has a lot of tombs, so it's normal for them to be robbed."

In his heart, Xu Ye wondered if he should take the opportunity to write the two novels, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light," as they were both big IPs worth more than ten figures in the future, with a bright future.

Xu Ye was also fascinated by these two novels for a period of time in his previous life.

Men, to some extent, yearn for stories of exploration and treasure hunting.

Now his memory is so good that he can easily recall and completely "reproduce" what he remembers without any problem.

Of course, even if he can't "reproduce" it, with his current writing skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to write a "Xu Ye version" based on the story outline.

After all, the royalties from articles published in various military newspapers were also an important source of income for Xu Ye.

Given his current status, writing is undoubtedly a great "side job".

"that's true!"

Tao Linlin's words interrupted Xu Ye's train of thought, "However, it's really surprising that this happened to someone you know!"

"It's exciting!" Xu Ye said casually. However, her interruption made Xu Ye temporarily put aside the matter of the two books.

Not in a hurry!
"Whee!"

Tao Linlin stuck out her tongue.

More than half an hour later, they were already walking on the bustling Xigong Street.

As a century-old neighborhood and one of the most bustling commercial streets in Los Angeles, it remains very lively even on weekdays, offering a wide variety of food and drinks. A quick visit would take up an entire morning.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Xu Ye answered the call from Chen Chen.

"Headache!"

Chen Chen's voice was hoarse from a hangover, "Where did you two heartless bastards go?"

"Old Zhang has a mission and has gone to work, so of course I'm taking Linlin shopping!"

Xu Ye glanced at Tao Linlin, who was picking out hair accessories, and casually replied, "Besides, how have I been heartless? Didn't I buy you food?"

"no appetite!"

Chen Chen glanced at the steamed buns and soy milk on the table and said listlessly.

How much did you drink last night?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I've blacked out!

"Serves you right, who told you to show off?" Xu Ye said irritably.

This guy, even I couldn't stop him last night, he kept saying he was so happy and had to drink to his heart's content.

Xu Ye couldn't very well just knock him unconscious with a chop to the neck, could he?
“We’re on Xigong Street, do you want to come?” Xu Ye asked.

"Forget it, I don't want to go shopping!" Chen Chen quickly refused. "By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go and reserve a table later."

Clearly, he suffers from a phobia of "shopping".

After all, Chen Chen has had quite a few girlfriends and knows this all too well.

Tao Linlin may be young, but she is still a girl with an innate talent for shopping, isn't she?

"Never mind, just eat whatever you want, you can go back to sleep!" Xu Ye said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer and call you again this afternoon!" Chen Chen yawned.

As for going back to work?

He had already asked his section chief for leave when he came; he would go back to work whenever Xu Ye left.

Anyway, there's not much work in their department, so it doesn't really matter whether he's there or not.

He wouldn't go if it involved a lot of mental and physical exertion!
You can't force yourself to endure hardship, can you?

"it is good!"

Xu Ye hung up the phone. "Have you made your choice?"

"How about this?" Tao Linlin asked, picking up a sparkly butterfly hair clip.

"Great, it suits your temperament perfectly!" Xu Ye complimented.

Youthful exuberance is her greatest asset; she looks good in anything. Besides, while Tao Linlin may not be a stunning beauty, she is still a lovely young lady with an intellectual charm.

"Okay, this one will do!"

As she spoke, Tao Linlin went to pay the bill.

"I'll do it. Didn't we agree? You're all to listen to me today!" Xu Ye stopped him.

Before she could retort, Xu Ye continued, "Besides, haven't you bought me a lot of things before?"

Xu Ye has never forgotten that Tao Linlin, who was still a primary school student at the time, used her saved New Year's money to buy him many gifts, just to make him happy.

Although those weren't anything valuable, the sentiment behind them is deeply etched in my memory.

Perhaps Tao Linlin has forgotten, but the original owner of this body has always remembered!
"Okay, thank you for the gift, Brother Ye!" Tao Linlin smiled happily.

Although it was just a cheap butterfly hair clip, she was very happy that Xu Ye gave it to her.

"Let's go, let's continue, I'll make sure you have a great time shopping today!"

After paying, the two left the boutique and once again mingled with the bustling crowd.

Time always seems to pass both quickly and slowly while shopping. Around noon, Teacher He called Xu Ye.

They asked them where they were, whether they wanted to go back for dinner, and finally said thank you for your hard work, Xu Ye.

"If only my mom weren't so nagging!"

Tao Linlin handed the phone to Xu Ye, saying with a hint of helplessness.

Teenagers are often rebellious and don't always understand their parents' concern.

Xu Ye smiled and didn't lecture him.

Some things cannot be truly understood through preaching; you must experience them firsthand.

"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?" Xu Ye asked.

It's lunchtime, we still need to eat.

"Brother Ye, can we have McDonald's?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, Tao Linlin said with a somewhat expectant look.

What was once considered "junk food" is now a fashionable and relatively expensive place, which is quite attractive to many people, especially children.

"Of course, no problem!" Xu Ye naturally wouldn't refuse.

To some extent, hamburgers are actually a nutritious and hygienic food, except for cola.

"Yay, Brother Ye, you're so great!" Tao Linlin shook Xu Ye's arm vigorously, her voice filled with excitement.

In 2000, Los Angeles got its first McDonald's, and Tao Linlin hadn't eaten there many times before she got sick.

Later, when he got sick, he never came again.

Tao Linlin is already considered lucky. In her previous life, when Xu Ye first ate McDonald's, it was after 2010. The first time he went, he didn't even know how to order...

After eating McDonald's, shopping, and browsing in the mall, Xu Ye took Tao Linlin home around 4 p.m.

"Brother Ye, I'm so happy today! Today is the happiest day I've had since I got sick!"

When the car arrived at the school gate, Tao Linlin, holding a large plush rabbit, said excitedly.

"Relax and be happy every day from now on, understand?" Xu Ye said with a smile.

Today was a happy day for Tao Linlin, and it was just as happy for Xu Ye.
He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time!
"Oh, by the way, this is for you, it's very effective at removing scars!"

Xu Ye then flipped his hand and handed her a clear glass bottle without any markings.

Sarah had already given them all, so naturally she wouldn't hesitate to give them to Tao Linlin.

It's clear that Tao Linlin is still somewhat bothered by the scar on her head.

"what?"

Seeing Xu Ye seemingly conjure up a bottle of something as if by magic, before she could even express her surprise, Tao Linlin heard Xu Ye's words and exclaimed incredulously, "Really?"

From age three to eighty, which woman doesn't love beauty?

"Would I lie to you?" Xu Ye smiled slightly.

This time, the gift was more valuable than the one he gave Sarah last time, but Xu Ye didn't mind at all.

"However, don't talk nonsense, understand?" Xu Ye added a reminder.

"Yes, Brother Ye, I won't tell anyone!" Tao Linlin held on tightly, making a very serious promise.

"Let's go, I'll take you home!" Xu Ye nodded, got out of the car, and walked towards the school carrying several shopping bags.

When the two arrived at Tao Linlin's house, they were surprised to find that Teacher He had already returned home.

"Xu Ye, just spoil her!"

Seeing the large bags and packages the two were carrying, Teacher He complained somewhat helplessly. (End of Chapter)
