You're sending max-level players to be cannon fodder?

The streetlights flickered across Zhong Xun's face.

Cui Ye, in the passenger seat, glanced at him cautiously.

After a long silence, Cui Ye whispered, "Thank you."

Gentle and mild-mannered, she is completely different from the female celebrities who have recently changed their temperament online and directly attacked marketing accounts and haters. For no reason, Zhong Xun thought of Bai Qingqing, who was also inconsistent.

"It's no trouble at all." Zhong Xun said without looking up. "But, could you please sign your name for me?"

Cui Ye remained expressionless: "You're my fan too?"

"No, I have a colleague who is a fan of yours."

Cui Ye: "No problem."

Twenty minutes later, the car drove smoothly into an upscale residential area.

Cui Ye's villa was at the very back, and it took two minutes to drive there in the dim light. Surprisingly, the lights on the third floor were on.

Seeing this, Cui Ye said, "It must be the housekeeper cleaning the room."

Hasty and perfunctory.

"This is a lie," Zhong Xun thought to himself. "Otherwise, there would be no need to explain to someone I'm meeting for the first time why the lights are on."

"Hmm." Zhong Xun showed no interest.

Cui Ye whispered, "Wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he jogged into the villa, waited two minutes, and came out to hand Zhong Xun an autographed photo. "Thank you for today."

"Thank you too." Zhong Xun took the autographed photo and placed it on the passenger seat. He then nodded slightly to Cui Ye, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.

Cui Ye watched his car lights disappear before returning home.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and hugged me: "Hey!"

Cui Ye shuddered in fright, looked down at the dark arm in front of her, and said helplessly, "You're so boring."

  

"Shall I go to the meet-and-greet for you tomorrow?"

"Hmm," Cui Ye said, "Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to handle those media outlets."

"Leave it to me!"

*

"Hey, Zhong Xun," he called out discreetly.

"I know," Zhong Xun said. "There's a smell of pollutants."

Hidden shock: "You sensed it?!"

"Yes." Zhong Xun subtly added, "It's probably thanks to you."

"That's natural." The tone was tinged with pride: "At first, I thought Cui Ye was a pollutant because her odor was too strong, but after observing her carefully, I realized she's human."

"Should we report this to the tribunal?" the questioner asked discreetly.

Zhong Xun skipped over the topic: "What, after staying in my mental sea for so long, you've become a judge too?"

Concealment: "Born as a seed of pollutants, dead as a ghost of pollutants!"

Zhong Xun: "That's backbone!"

Zhong Xun stopped in front of a roast duck restaurant and bought the last five ducks.

Concealed: "Is this for that adjudicator again?"

"Or should I bring it for you?" Zhong Xun said softly, "This counts as a late-night snack."

"Oh."

Back at the tribunal at 10:50, he promptly pushed open the door to the main office. As expected, a group of listless adjudicators leaned back in their chairs, staring blankly at their computers. But this situation changed in the next second, because the aroma of roast duck wafted into the air.

Sun Chen took a deep sniff: "Hmm?"

Zhong Xun: "An extra meal!"

Everyone immediately put on a show of "instant regression," using one hand to support themselves on the desk and leaping over to Zhong Xun in a couple of bounds, "Aww! Thank you, Dr. Zhong!"

Zhong Xun took advantage of the chaos to protect a roast duck. "They were all sold out. I only managed to grab five in the end."

"Enough! Enough!"

Zhong Xun knocked on the office door in a cheerful mood.

Meng Jing heard this and said, "Go in."

Upon seeing Zhong Xun, Meng Jingting said in a deep voice, "Seven minutes more until the time limit expires."

"Do you think I'm delivering takeout?" Zhong Xun placed the roast duck on his table: "I brought it for you."

Meng Jing didn't stand on ceremony and opened the lunchbox: "What did you eat with Li Mi?"

"I cooked a few dishes," Zhong Xun said, leaning against the table. "I also met his Omega."

"You've talked about it?"

"Yes, you have good taste," Zhong Xun added.

Meng Jing devoured half a roast duck in a flash. "You swiped your card to pay around nine o'clock, and it only takes forty minutes to drive from the Lianou Shopping Mall back to the Tribunal, but you didn't arrive until almost eleven. Dr. Zhong, can you tell me where you were for those fifty minutes?"

Zhong Xun raised an eyebrow.

Meng Jingting looked up: "Do I have to wait again?"

Zhong Xun pulled out Cui Ye's autographed photo from his pocket: "I accidentally helped a female celebrity and took her home. This is Dr. Bu's favorite. With this autographed photo, he will be willing to cover my shift for the next year."

Meng Jing glanced at Zhong Xun without showing any emotion, his smile flawless and his expression composed, before he began to eat the remaining half of the roast duck.

"Then I'll go to the infirmary."

Meng Jing heard this and said, "Go."

After Zhong Xun left, Meng Jingting pulled up Cui Ye's relevant information on the computer.

S-rank possesses an ability that is difficult for others to know, and one that Meng Jingting has never mentioned: he can smell traces of pollutants.

With a faint smell of burning, Meng Jingting observed for a while and found that pure pollutants were not effective, but contaminated humans were. Du Ruosen's smell was very strong before, but it was of a higher level, and before he could take action, he had already pulled them into the "miasma".

Meng Jingting had just smelled it on Zhong Xun; it was very faint. But he was certain that it couldn't be Li Mi; it could only be Cui Ye. Of course, Meng Jingting was more concerned about whether Zhong Xun knew.

Theoretically, Omega is impossible, but his lover harbors many secrets.

Inside the infirmary, Dr. Xiao Bu, who already had dark circles under his eyes, waved to Zhong Xun, "I can't go on anymore, I'm going to sleep."

"Hold on for one night," Zhong Xun said.

Dr. Bu scoffed, "Air can't refresh you."

The next second, Zhong Xun, with an aloof and unapproachable expression, took out the autographed photo.

It's no exaggeration to say that Dr. Xiao Bu's pupils instantly lit up, flashing so brightly that the stars would pale in comparison!

"Wait a moment!" Dr. Xiao Bu's voice trembled, then she swept into the bathroom like a hurricane, washed her hands, sprayed perfume, and smoothed her hair before appearing before Zhong Xun with an air of composure, hands raised, and a slight, reserved tilt of her head: "Come on!"

The "Your Majesty" surnamed Zhong released his hand as if bestowing a favor.

Dr. Bu hugged the autographed photo and kissed it enthusiastically, then looked at Zhong Xun and asked, "Dad, what do you need your son to do?!"

Zhong Xun: "...I haven't thought of anything yet, but I'll fulfill my promise later."

"no problem!!!"

When Zhong Xun returned to the lounge, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.

Not long after, Meng Jingting came out wrapped in a bathrobe. This person's body proportions were truly heaven-defying, and the sharpness between his brows carried a strong sense of aggression. If it weren't for the constraints of his identity as an adjudicator and his deep understanding of human order, he could easily become a headache for the government due to his superior genes and primal drive.

Zhong Xun draped one arm over the sofa and tilted his head slightly: "Come here."

Meng Jing stepped forward and left a trail of wet footprints on the ground.

The two shared a long and intimate kiss.

Zhong Xun asked, "Want some more tonight?"

Meng Jingting looked at him strangely and said, "I should be the one saying that."

Zhong Xun slammed on the brakes: "I want to get a good night's sleep!"

Meng Jing scoffed, "You think you're so good at pretending?"

After Zhong Xun finished washing up, the two lay down side by side and slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

At 6:30 a.m. the next day, Tan Que received a phone call: "Boss, our men found Li You in front of a convenience store and have brought him back to the court."
