Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

"Yes, Director. This is the plan you asked me to write regarding the management of the slums. Please take a look at it."

"no need."

After confirming that the shredder couldn't be used, Luo Ya walked up to Jiu and handed her all the letters and materials reporting Chen Huijie.

"Since it's your plan, I have nothing to worry about. I'll follow your plan and throw this pile of garbage into the trash can outside the Guards Bureau."

"You don't want to see it?"

"I have full confidence in your ability. It would be foolish of you to hang a good sword on the wall for display without using it."

After Luo Ya said this, Jiu had nothing else to say and had to leave with the file bag.

As she walked, Jiu felt more and more that something was wrong. She felt that Luo Ya had been intentionally or unintentionally asking her to participate in some very important work in the past few months, but it was not reasonable to say that this was exploitation, because she knew Luo Ya's character, and this was more like a simple test of her ability.

"The work during this period is so easy. I thought the people in the slums would be very unruly."

"Yeah, yeah, I really don't know what's wrong with those gangsters. They are more obedient to us than primary school students to their class teacher. I was worried that something unexpected would happen in the slums."

"Maybe the deaths of several seniors made the higher-ups angry. Even if it's a slum, it's impossible not to give face to Chief Wei."

"But I heard that it seemed that Deputy Director Luo Ya put pressure on the gang members."

"Come on, who would believe this news? He is like that and still puts pressure on the gangs. I'm thankful that he doesn't go along with them. People like him will have a bad end sooner or later."

Similar conversations were common in the Guards Bureau, because Luo Ya would either sit in the office for a few hours and then leave, or would never come to work at all, so Jiu and Chen Huijie had to handle official business on his behalf most of the time, which also led to the police officers speaking without restraint most of the time.

However, such words must never be said to Luo Ya. It is said that a police officer was heard by Luo Ya saying bad things, and then he disappeared mysteriously when he returned home one night. When he was found the next day, he was soaking in the sewer.

After hearing this kind of talk for a long time, Jiu sometimes doubted whether Luo Ya had really done so many evil things. Otherwise, why would he be despised by so many people, and even in Longmen, it was almost like stopping a baby from crying at night.

Walking to the trash can outside the Guard Bureau, Jiu looked at the documents in her hand. Perhaps these documents that were originally supposed to be destroyed by Luo Ya could give her some answers. Anyway, throwing them away did not mean destroying them. She would just treat it as something she had picked up accidentally.

With this thought in mind, she put the document away and happened to run into Chen Huijie who was about to lead a team to patrol the slums.

"Do you want to eat it? There's one left." Chen Huijie handed over the paper bag in her hand. "That person bought it. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."

"is this okay?"

"Nothing wrong with it." Chen Huijie forcefully pushed the food to Jiu, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. "That guy and I are no longer an engaged couple. This is the last time I eat his food for free. I can just pay him back a few meals in the future."

As one of the few people who knew that Wei Yanwu was Chen Huijie's uncle, Jiu was not surprised by this result. Luo Ya's reputation was declining, and even if Chen Huijie had not been affected, it would be difficult to maintain the engagement. After more than a year, Dayan had probably given up the idea of ​​having this daughter. Canceling the engagement would naturally allow Chen Huijie and Luo Ya to draw a clear line and not be affected.

Just looking at Chen Huijie's happy expression, Jiu was unable to utter the words of blessing. He could only smile, nod, and return to his seat.

Chen Huijie didn't think much about it and continued to lead the team to patrol the slums. Jiu put away the documents that Luo Ya asked him to throw away, worked at his desk for a while, and then decided to hand the plan he had thought of to Luo Ya for him to see.

Probably because they don't like being disturbed, Luoya's office is at the end of the corridor. Due to fear and disgust, basically no one comes to Luoya's office. Some people would rather ask Jiu to help submit documents than come here. It seems that staying with Luoya is not much different from living in a garbage dump.

Jiu walked to the door and was about to knock, but he heard Luo Ya's voice coming from inside the door, as if he was talking to someone.

"Yes, I know, I know, Mr. Ross. I am also troubled by her, but she is still my fiancée in name. No matter how hard I try, I can't deal with her directly. If I do that, how will the citizens of Longmen look at me?"

"Haha, I never realized Mr. Luo is such a respectable person."

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously mocking Luo Ya's shamelessness, but Luo Ya didn't care.

"She is my fiancée. We have been together for more than a year and we still have some feelings for each other, so... I have to pay more."

"Don't push your luck. We've already paid you three million. If this gets out, do you think you can still keep your position?"

"Look at what you said. When did I ever take your money? Didn't I pick it up at the garbage dump? Besides, Rand Corporation doesn't want to be exposed for secretly selling weapons to the Longmen Gang, right?"

"Okay, very good... Mr. Luo, you are the most courageous person I have ever met. Our cooperation ends here."

Rand Corporation? Jiu remembered that it was a large Ursus company that Longmen had signed a cooperation agreement with half a year ago. When Chen Huijie was investigating a smuggling case last week, he found that it was related to Rand Corporation. This incident caused Rand Corporation to lose a lot of interests in Longmen. Was the other party going to use Luo Ya to retaliate against Chen Huijie?

"Really? Rand Corporation, Dolly Pharmaceuticals, and even big names like Thor Industries are involved. Can't she be more restrained in her actions?"

Luo Ya threw the communicator aside and continued to review various official documents. Now Longmen is stable and improving in all aspects. All the dissatisfaction in the poll questionnaire is only directed at Luo Ya. Anyway, no matter what bad things happen, the first reaction of Longmen citizens is: This must be done by Luo Ya!

In this year, Longmen has been carrying out various reforms in a big way, including enterprise introduction, commercial trade, urban planning, and slum management.

The benefits brought by the reform were attributed to Wei Yanwu, while the disadvantages were blamed on him. For example, some old police officers who died because of slum management, some said that Luo Ya deliberately sent them to die, but when it comes to the current management of the slums, most police officers only think that it is the credit of Wei Yanwu and the Rat King.

Of course, even though Luo Ya has been blamed for a year, he doesn't feel wronged because he defines himself as a garbage bag, and his greatest value is that he can prevent someone from getting their hands dirty.

"Tsk..."

Having another headache, Luo Ya took out three packets of headache powder from the drawer, mixed it with water and drank it, then leaned back in his chair and waited silently.

Fortunately, this time the headache was not like the Grim Reaper using a hammer and awl to perform another craniotomy on him without anesthesia. The headache powder had some effect.

On the other side, Chen Huijie had not yet reached the slums. He felt the communicator vibrating, so he signaled the team members to go ahead and took out the communicator to take a look. It was information sent by the private detective.

Having previously realized that the bribes Luo Ya received might be in the form of cash and other items, Chen Huijie estimated that he must have a place to hide them. So it would not be difficult to just investigate Luo Ya's movements and find the places he regularly went to. Asking a private detective for help would undoubtedly be the easiest way.

According to the private detective, Luo Ya's life can be said to be very regular. He goes to work on time for three meals and never works overtime. In the morning, he is at the Guard Bureau. After lunch, he goes out on patrol. He is even suspected of indirectly affecting Longmen's economy in the afternoon.

It's just that after get off work every day he would go to the slums to meet with a Zarak woman, and every Friday he would go to a pharmacy in the slums, and he would disguise himself. The private detective found some clues, but as for what he did in the pharmacy, they couldn't find out.

"The drugstore in the slums. Did he hide all the stolen money there?"

Chen Huijie thought about it carefully and decided to go there alone after get off work. Tomorrow happened to be Friday, and this time he must get evidence of Luo Ya's corruption, and Wei Yanwu would not be able to make excuses.

Secretly clenching her fists, Chen Huijie was actually not as friendly to Luo Ya as she had shown just now. Uncle Liu, Old Xu from the wonton shop, and so many people murdered by Luo Ya, including the old police officers who died in the slums last month, Chen Huijie had good self-control for not drawing her sword directly against Luo Ya. She knew that she could not beat Luo Ya, and she did not have any key evidence.

But she would not accept it, let alone admit defeat. Someone like Luo Ya was not qualified to be the deputy director of the Guard Bureau!

"Anyway, ask Hei Suo to keep an eye on her to prevent anything from happening."

Luo Ya listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and guessed that Wei Yanwu might be strolling around the red-light district again. Tsk, how about taking a team to arrest this disrespectful guy and lock him up in the police station for a few days? Forget it, let's just tell his wife about it.

"Okay, what about you? You probably still can't use your abilities, right?"

Wei Yanwu was listening to the ditty, but he hadn't forgotten what Luo Ya had done last month. He could only say that sometimes the threat of death was more effective than sweet words. Gang leaders were always afraid that Luo Ya would come knocking on their door, and their subordinates regarded the dozens of dead gangsters as a lesson. When they met the people from the Longmen Guards, they were more obedient than their grandchildren. In the questionnaire distributed last month, the people were also very satisfied with the current Longmen.

"It's enough to have a way to protect myself. Look at Longmen, who dares to kill me now."

"Oh, I'm not sure, but you did a good job this time. Tell me what you want?"

Although he was quite scared at the time, the reaction afterwards was very good. Wei Yanwu did not want to blame Luo Ya. He believed that one should be paid for one good deed. This was what Luo Ya had agreed with him that night more than a year ago.

"Let me think... let's put your name on the entire school in the slum, at least the entire elementary school. That way, no one would dare to touch it."

"Use the reward you deserve, but put the benefit in our name, is that okay?"

Wei Yanwu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need anyone to drink with him, then lowered his voice.

"If someone uses my name, I suspect even dogs will avoid it. I have some self-awareness of this."

"First it was the welfare home, then the free clinic, and now it's the school, Roya... Is there really nothing you want?"

Perhaps the citizens of Longmen would never have thought that sometimes Wei Yanwu felt that he, as the mayor, did not love the city of Longmen as much as Luo Ya, who was despised by others. At least if he put himself in Luo Ya's perspective, he found that each of these choices would make him struggle for a while.

"Longmen is a good place, boss." Luo Ya kept spinning the ballpoint pen in his hand, "But I've seen places where it's not good enough. What I want is actually the same as you."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a faint sigh from Wei Yanwu.

"After a while, I will arrange for you to go to Dayan and see if I can ask that person to treat you. You will die in terms of social status. As for your affairs... I will tell her."

"Thanks. I'll let Jiu take over my job when the time comes. She has the ability to do it, and there's no need to deliberately tell Superintendent Chen. It would be best if Longmen never needs Luo Ya again."

Luo Ya hung up the phone, took a deep breath and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly the annoying voice came into his mind again.

[Remaining life: 168 hours]

"It's strange that this can be cured."

Chapter 6 Goodbye, Friends

Longmen at night is more colorful than during the day. The colorful neon lights add more dreaminess to the city. Luo Ya looked at the street between the slums and the urban area, holding the steamed buns bought by Lin Yuxia in his mouth.

"I heard that your engagement with Chen Huijie is going to be cancelled?"

"Well, the news will probably spread by next Monday."

Lin Yuxia leaned casually against the railing, watching Chen Huijie and the police officers return to the Guard Bureau to prepare to go off work.

"Why, lost?"

"That's not the case." Luo Ya crumpled the empty paper bag in his hand. "It was fake in the first place, so there's nothing to be sad about. I think if I lose my identity as her fiancé, she might stab me with Chi Xiao one day in the future, and vent her anger for the citizens of Longmen."

With a light throw, the paper ball fell squarely into the trash can. Lin Yuxia rolled her eyes at Luo Ya, knowing that this guy was using his abilities on such an insignificant matter again.

"Why don't you tell her the truth?"

"And then let her know that the uncle who has always taken care of her since she was a child is actually an Ursus spy who betrayed Longmen and even wanted to assassinate her?"

Luo Ya let out a sigh of relief. It was already late autumn and Longmen was very cold at night. He wondered how many people would freeze to death this year.

"Even if I tell her, it won't change anything. I won't be very happy if I see her unbelievable face or see her cry. It's already a headache to comfort you alone."

When it was confirmed that Lao Liu was indeed a spy from Ursus, Lin Yuxia refused to believe it no matter what. Liu Hui was like a relative to her, Chen Huijie and others. When they were young, they could always get all kinds of delicious food from each other's fruit shops. During the Chinese New Year, Lao Liu would give them a lot of New Year's money while telling them not to let their parents know and to keep it well. Who could believe that such a person would betray Longmen.

At that time, Lin Yuxia's face was full of disbelief at first, and then she realized what would happen to Lao Liu. It was the first time that Luo Ya saw her cry, so he went alone during the operation.

Lao Liu's betrayal was not simply due to the temptation of interests. His family was in Ursus' hands. He and Luo Ya both knew that Ursus could not be trusted, but they had no choice but to take a gamble.

"I don't need your comfort."

"Yes, yes, I wonder who was so scared by the firecrackers that he hid behind me...hiss!!!"

Luo Ya took a breath and felt Lin Yuxia's slender hand twisting his waist hard.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's time to get to work." Lin Yuxia retracted her hand. "The Ursus spy decided to leave tonight. He contacted the cockroaches in Longmen and found a secret passage in the drainage system."

"He was able to endure until now before preparing to escape. He really cares about this."

"Don't rush to arrest him. Find out who is behind him and who is in charge of the connection. It would be best to find out which Grand Duke still has improper intentions towards Longmen."

Who would believe that someone from Ursus was not behind this attack on Chen Huijie? Luo Ya and Lin Yuxia could not have not understood the principle of playing the long game to catch the big fish, otherwise they would not have kept each other until now.

"A-choo." Chen Huijie couldn't help but sneeze, and then looked at the gangster in front of him in disbelief, "Ah Fa, are you serious?"

"Yes, that Ursus guy lives next door to my house. I've seen him meeting with other Ursus guys several times. And those drugs are definitely not something that can be obtained easily."

As a subordinate secretly developed by Chen Huijie, Afa knew the relationship between the person in front of him and the big sister of his own Xingxiong, so he naturally paid attention to his work. Yesterday, Chen Huijie asked him to investigate the drugstore that Luo Ya often went to, and today he got the result.

"I asked my brothers in the slums, and it seems that the guy is planning to leave Longmen tonight and take the drainage system. Maybe someone can take him out."

"tonight……"

Chen Huijie glanced at the calendar. It was Friday, the day Luo Ya went to the drugstore. Ah Fa said that the owner of the drugstore came to Longmen almost a year ago, less than a week after Luo Ya.

Putting so many clues together, Chen Huijie had a vague guess. After thinking about it, she took out her communicator and dialed Luo Ya's phone number.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

There was no noise on the other end of the phone, and I could faintly hear the sound of vehicle horns, but it seemed that we were not in the city.

"Are you free? I want to talk about breaking off our engagement."

"What's there to discuss? Anyway, I can save money on two meals a day from now on. Are you going to return the money for the meal to me?"

"Okay."

"Let's not do that. I have something to do in the slums right now."

Luo Ya hung up the phone. The reason why he said he was in the slums was simply because in Chen Huijie's impression he was a wicked person and he couldn't do anything good in the slums, so he didn't want to arouse her suspicion.

"She owes you a year's meal money, so do you also owe me half a year's meal money?"

Lin Yuxia remembered very clearly that Luo Ya had been eating at her table for half a year. From being unhappy at the beginning to adapting to it now and even preparing a portion for him, Lin Yuxia couldn't help but sigh that getting used to this kind of thing was really scary.

"At worst, I can just write your name as the heir in my will."

Luo Ya rolled his eyes at her, then adjusted his hat and sunglasses, touched the cat ears on his hat, put on a mask, and walked directly into the small clinic in front of him.

The clinic was very clean, not as dirty and messy as ordinary black clinics, but the boss was not in the front today like before.

"Doctor Andre, are you there?"

"Here I am." An ordinary-looking Ursus man who looked no more than 30 years old came out from the back, but he was not wearing the white coat as usual. "It's you again, Mr. Noah."

Andre was familiar with Mr. Noah. He had been patronizing his business frequently since a year ago. He was very talkative and generous, and he bought a lot of medicine every time.

"It's me. It's the same as always. I need sedatives and painkillers. It would be even better if there were inhibitors for mineral sickness."

"I've got the first two for you. As for the latter... my advice is that you'd better not buy them. They're all fake anyway."

As he spoke, Andre took out two boxes of medicine from under the cabinet. They were obviously mixed, including sedatives, painkillers and hallucinogens.

"Why so much...I can't use it all."
