Chapter 558: Looking for Omnipotent Boss
Seeing Jing Fei, Gu Yunqing was just about to slander Xue Xi for being sneaky outside the police station when he saw Jing Fei rus.h.i.+ng to Xue Xi without even looking at her and shouting, “Sister Xi, you’re here!”
Gu Yunqing: “?”
Her pupils constricted as she looked at Xue Xi in disbelief.
How could Xue Xi know Jing Fei?!
If she had not joined this special department, she would not have known that such a secret existed in this world.
On the other hand, Jing Fei’s level was high. No matter what he did, everyone had to make way for him.
However, such a formidable figure was actually so humble in front of Xue Xi…
Gu Yunqing clenched her jaw and took a step back. She then greeted respectfully, “Captain.”
Jing Fei casually waved his hand and greeted her perfunctorily. He then said to Xue Xi, “Sister Xi, let’s go. I’ll bring you in.”
Xue Xi nodded at Jing Fei. When she entered, she pa.s.sed by Gu Yunqing and took a glance at her before retracting her gaze.
When she entered the door, she warned, “Gu Yunqing is ruthless and not a good person.”
Gu Yunqing was wearing a uniform and clearly worked here.
Although she did not understand why Jing Fei had hired her, there must be a reason for him to do so. As a friend, Xue Xi reminded him that it was up to Jing Fei to decide what to do.
Jing Fei nodded. “I think so too. Sister Xi, you still don’t know, right? Last time, when we were chasing after that drug trafficker, he had originally taken her hostage. It was her who told the drug trafficker that you were the one who’d caused him to be arrested, which made him transfer his hatred to you, causing you to be injured. Hence, her four fingers did not get severed for no reason. Boss did the right thing.”
His voice had trailed too softly at the end and Xue Xi could not hear what he said clearly. She asked, “What?”
Jing Fei chuckled. His round face looked exceptionally innocent. “I said that the recruitment of Gu Yunqing was actually done according to the rules. Don’t be angry and listen to my explanation.”
Xue Xi was stunned. Just as she was about to say that there was no need to explain, she looked up and was shocked by the grand building in front of her.
This place looked like an ordinary police station, but there was something else inside.
The office was huge, and the walls were all silver in color. There were not many people, and they were busy walking back and forth. Meanwhile, Jing Fei brought her to an office at the side.
Jing Fei’s office was very unique. The wall was painted light blue and looked very youthful. He got Xue Xi to sit opposite him and said, “Sister Xi, I believe you now understand that Fang Fang can turn invisible, right?”
Xue Xi slowly widened her eyes.
She recalled the horror of being grabbed on the wrist when she was walking on the road last night. She also recalled how Fang Fang had appeared when she turned around at the staircase of the activity building.
Even now, she still found it unbelievable.
She grew up in an orphanage and her living environment was very normal. Among the people she had interacted with, she had never met anyone with such an ability.
When she returned to the dormitory last night, she lay on the bed and could not sleep for a long time. She even asked Xie Yingying, “Do you believe that anyone in this world can turn invisible?”
Xie Yingying immediately said, “Haha, Sister Xi, you’re too funny. You actually asked this question! This is the same as you believing that there are ghosts in this world. We’ve learned so much scientific knowledge. Who would believe this?!”
That’s right.
Everything in the world could be answered by science. Hence, if she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.
Until now, as Jing Fei sat in front of her and told her that Fang Fang could turn invisible, she still thought that perhaps Fang Fang was wearing some high-tech stealth clothes.
Jing Fei continued, “Actually, there are people like her in this world. Their abilities are also distinct, but there are very few of them. Their abilities go beyond the understanding of ordinary humans. We call them espers.”
An esper, such as Fang Fang who had the ability to become invisible, was different from ordinary people?
Just as Xue Xi was thinking about this term, she heard Jing Fei continue, “An esper has the ability to surpa.s.s the normal limits of humans. Once such a person does evil, it will be very difficult to capture and obtain evidence against them. Hence, we, the special police department, were established to capture espers who have committed crimes.”
No wonder Jing Fei’s police station was called a special department.
Xue Xi nodded.
Jing Fei continued, “Sister Xi, don’t worry. There are very few mutants in this world. They are less than one in a million.”
Less than one in a million. In other words, there were less than a thousand such people in China?
That was indeed very rare and not on a large scale.
Jing Fei said, “Most of these people have been monitored by us on their own initiative. They live like ordinary people and never use their special abilities. Some of them have joined us, and only a few of them are out of control. In order to not cause social unrest and strife, the matter regarding the espers is cla.s.sified as an S-level confidential matter. Hence, although Liu Zhao’s death was caused by Fang Fang’s invisibility, we told the public that she took an excessive amount of hallucinogens as some sort of reasonable explanation.”
Xue Xi felt that it was strange. Liu Zhao had been pushed down the building by someone. Moreover, Liu Zhao’s family was poor. Where could she have bought expensive drugs from? But why did the police lie?
Now, everything was answered.
Jing Fei continued to explain, “Now that the internet is so developed, although we try to avoid ordinary people when we do cases, there will always be times when ordinary people see us. Our department has two ways to deal with these ordinary people who know about the existence of espers.”
At this point, Xue Xi vaguely understood how Gu Yunqing had entered the special department.
Indeed, Jing Fei said, “The first method is that we will wipe away their relevant memories. However, there are a small number of people who will be specially recruited into the special department. Firstly, it will be easier to monitor them. Secondly, the special department needs some outstanding talents to do ordinary things, such as civilian staff.
“Gu Yunqing was so close to the club. She is personally biased toward the second method and has done well in the investigation. Hence, she was recruited. Her current position is at the front desk. ”
Jing Fei scratched his head. “Our receptionist is on maternity leave.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Just now, she had felt that this special department was high and mighty and did not need to be down-to-earth. A “maternity leave” made Xue Xi feel that this so-called special department was just an ordinary company.
Xue Xi paused and suddenly asked, “I know about it now. How are you going to deal with me?”
Could it be that after she went back to sleep today, she’d forget about today’s matter when she woke up tomorrow?
Just as Xue Xi was thinking this, Jing Fei hurriedly waved his hand. “Sister Xi, how would I dare to deal with you? If I dare to touch you, Boss will probably kill me!”
Xue Xi: “…Boss?”
Jing Fei was stunned. It’s over. Did he say something he shouldn’t have?
Just as he was thinking this, Xue Xi slowly said, “Omnipotent Boss? Is my teacher your boss?”
Jing Fei: “…”
So, Boss, you actually have an alias with Sister Xi!
Scared me to death!
Jing Fei patted his chest and nodded with a smile. “Yes. That person is our superior, but I’m in charge of the police department. I usually report to him about work.”
Jing Fei really did not understand.
Gu Yunqing had clearly hurt Sister Xi’s hand and Boss had even severed four of her fingers. Now, she had reported the club’s name list. Wasn’t the best way to deal with such a person to erase her memories, then beat her to the ground and have her be abandoned by her family?
Why did Boss personally order her to come in? He even forbade him from telling Sister Xi that it was done according to the rules.
How strange.
Just as Jing Fei was thinking this, Xue Xi said, “In that case, are you sure you have concrete evidence for Fang Fang’s case?”
At the mention of this, Jing Fei did not hesitate.
He immediately turned on the surveillance camera on the rooftop and explained, “Sister Xi, although the surveillance cameras on the rooftop were destroyed by Yu Da that day, we’ve also recovered the footage. I can show you. Normal surveillance cameras can’t capture the invisible Fang Fang, but we’ve arranged for an infrared scan.”
Even if she was invisible, Fang Fang’s body would not disappear. She would only avoid the refraction of light. Hence, the infrared rays would definitely be able to scan her.
Xue Xi looked at the CCTV and realized that there was an extra person on the rooftop with Liu Zhao.
Fang Fang grabbed Liu Zhao’s neck. As Liu Zhao could not see clearly, she struggled wildly. Fang Fang pushed her to the edge of the roof then pushed her down!
From the video, there was indeed concrete evidence.
Jing Fei picked up another doc.u.ment and pa.s.sed it to Xue Xi. “This is Yu Da’s confession letter. He’d signed it. Before you came today, the higher-ups gave an order. A life for a life. They want the death sentence for the mastermind.”
The mastermind was being given the death penalty.
Hence, Fang Fang and Yu Da had to die.
They were indeed at fault for wrongfully killing Liu Zhao. However, if it was an ordinary person who’d made the same mistake, they could still be shown mercy and not be sentenced to such a serious sentence! Nowadays, there were very few people in China who were sentenced to death.
Xue Xi frowned and looked down at Omnipotent Boss on WeChat.
If she looked for the teacher, would this matter be resolved?
…
…
Outside the office.
Gu Yunqing sat at the front desk. While helping others print the doc.u.ments, she kept glancing at Jing Fei’s office.
She wanted to know what relations.h.i.+p Xue Xi had with the captain.
After a while, Jing Fei respectfully sent Xue Xi out. Gu Yunqing asked her colleague beside her, “Does that girl have any special ident.i.ty?”
Her colleague: “No!”
Gu Yunqing was confused. “Why does Captain respect that girl so much? What’s their relations.h.i.+p?”
The colleague looked up and said in realization, “Isn’t she the hero who helped us capture that drug trafficker last time? It’s only right for Captain to be more polite to her!”
So that’s how it is.
Gu Yunqing heaved a sigh of relief.
She had just taken a rough look at the special department’s status and realized that in China, its status was exceptionally high. Even though she was just a receptionist, any department would have to give way to her if she took out her work pa.s.s!
This was a hundred times better than that club.
With this work pa.s.s, she could do whatever she wanted at home. This time, she should not be worse than Xue Xi’s boyfriend, right?
Since that’s the case… Gu Yunqing curled her lips and her eyes darkened.
…
…
After Xue Xi left Jing Fei’s place, she took a cab back to Huaxia University.
During cla.s.s, she was distracted for the first time. She kept holding her phone, wondering if she should send a message to Omnipotent Boss.
Special departments would definitely be stricter when dealing with special people than ordinary law enforcement departments.
Would her request make the teacher use his position for personal gain?
But could he really watch Fang Fang or Yu Da die?
On one side was the law, and on the other was friends.h.i.+p.
She hesitated. For the first time, she did not know what to do.
After cla.s.s, Xie Yingying returned to the dormitory. Xue Xi carried her books to the library, wanting to find a solution in the books.
She planned to look at the Chinese law once and see if there was any room for change.
Just as she was reading the first few laws, her phone rang. She picked it up and heard Xie Yingying’s voice. “Sister Xi, hurry up and go back to the dormitory. We’re checking the dormitory!”
Xue Xi frowned. “Why?”
Xie Yingying said, “There was a sudden notification today. The student council will come to check the dormitory later. Do you know? Gu Yunqing actually came back! Since she messed up the reception of Lin Jing last time, the school’s leaders no longer valued her. However, for some unknown reason, she seems to have obtained some special privilege today. Everyone in the student council listens to her! Anyway, she doesn’t have good intentions. She’s coming to our level soon. Come back quickly!”
Xue Xi felt a little frustrated.
She could borrow five books to check out with her student ID, so she brought along five. When she came out of the library, she realized that the sky was already dark.
She actually stayed in the library for an entire day.
She quickened her pace. Just as she reached the dormitory, she saw the members of the student union holding a book and recording something.
In the dormitory, Gu Yunqing’s reprimanding voice was heard. “No high-power items are allowed in the dormitory. This hairdryer is confiscated! Also, look at this bed. You can’t put books on it!”
Xie Yingying was a little angry. “Senior, aren’t you being too much? Which dormitory doesn’t have a hairdryer? We did nothing wrong. Moreover, our dormitory is clean. What right do you have to deduct marks from us?”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “I did things according to the school’s rules and regulations, and I got the support and approval of the princ.i.p.al. If you’re not convinced, go to the Academic Affairs Office!”
“Sister Xi!” Almost everyone in the female dormitory had become Xue Xi’s fangirl, so when they saw her, the person in Room 317 hurriedly shouted and whispered, “Our room is much more chaotic than your room, but she didn’t say anything. She’s clearly targeting you!”
Another person nodded. “Yes, and I heard that for some unknown reason, when Gu Yunqing said she wanted to check the dormitory, it was approved by the princ.i.p.al. She can make any decision! You must be careful!”
Xue Xi frowned and walked in.
Gu Yunqing happened to turn around and see her. Gu Yunqing narrowed her eyes and lifted her chin slightly. She said arrogantly, “Xue Xi, you’re back just in time. Two marks were deducted from your dormitory. You’ve violated the school rules. You two will be punished to clean the corridor and the public bathroom!”
Xue Xi: “?”
