108: Chapter 108 Recruiting! You didn't take any detours at all!

Is this guy a psychopath?

If you're poisoned, shouldn't you take medicine? How can you get your stomach pumped?

Wang Gu was a bit confused; an image surfaced in his mind uncontrollably.

There's a lunatic who gets poisoned, sticks his hand into his stomach, takes out his stomach, washes it, and puts it back in?

Seriously, buddy, saying it online is one thing, but you're actually doing it...

Wang Gu couldn't hold it together anymore.

Ye Huang, standing to the side, looked grave: "Brother Lin, that's exactly what the file says."

"Qin Changsheng, a Wu City native, went crazy after his family brought him back."

"He kept saying his stomach was bad and that he needed a transplant."

"Until he killed his family and ran away."

"He hasn't been found since; he's been missing for a long time."

"The Wu City Patrol Bureau has been hunting him and has listed him as an A-rank wanted criminal."

As soon as Ye Huang finished speaking, Wang Gu suddenly froze.

"A stomach transplant? Wait..."

"Brother Lin, do you remember that student disappearance case we handled at Linan No. 1 Middle School two months ago?"

"That student had their stomach removed."

"So..."

"So Brother Lin, you had a grudge with Qin Changsheng from back then, which is why that lunatic is now looking for Feng Gou to mess with you??" Gong Ling stepped forward, filling in the last piece of the logical puzzle.

Everything made sense instantly.

Chen Lin nodded. He also realized this.

Qin Changsheng, killing his family, removing students' stomachs...

A pure lunatic! A pure blight on society!

This kind of person should be able to give me a lot of emotion points!

"Oh right, Brother Lin, the file says this Qin Changsheng is a rare dual-attribute warrior of Metal and Wood."

"He's crazy and very hard to deal with."

"My friend at the Patrol Bureau asked us if we would take this case."

"If we take it, they can coordinate with Lixian Academy to transfer the law enforcement authority." Ye Huang stepped forward and asked.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up. Metal and Wood dual-attribute?

He didn't have these two attributes, so he immediately nodded: "Take it! Someone is already riding on my head to mess with me!"

"If I don't mess with him, it'll make it seem like I, Chen Lin, have a good temper!"

After speaking, Chen Lin looked at Director Fei Ming and Senior Sister Ning Jia beside him.

As the team leader for this mission, Senior Sister Ning Jia had nothing else to do for now and was currently recording the mission process and reporting information in writing.

Hearing that Chen Lin didn't intend to return to Lixian Academy yet, Senior Sister Ning Jia bid them farewell.

She headed back to the school first to submit the mission and collect the rewards.

Senior Sister Ning Jia didn't dare to stay with her junior anymore; he was too fierce, she couldn't handle it!

...

As for Director Fei Ming.

Just now upstairs, Director Fei Ming didn't actually explode, so his body was fine.

At this moment, even though they were already downstairs, Director Fei Ming seemed still immersed in the state from just now, unable to extricate himself.

Good heavens!

He had lived an honest life, thinking that was it.

But today, it really felt satisfying for Director Fei Ming, who was in the Half-step Coffin Realm!

So this is what it feels like to hold law enforcement authority—it's so satisfying, you don't have to look over your shoulder to do anything!

Especially following Little Lin, it's basically outputting damage right in others' faces!

I, Old Fei, have worked hard all my life; although I only held law enforcement authority for a short time today, I haven't lived in vain!

Director Fei Ming was incredibly excited, as if he had returned to his spirited youth.

"Old Fei..."

"We're going to handle a case next, are you coming or not?"

Chen Lin spoke up, interrupting Director Fei Ming's reverie. The latter froze, then his face flushed with excitement.

"Little Lin, I..."

"I can still follow you all?"

"What's wrong with that? I'll tell Representative Luo Hong in a bit; he's the admissions representative for Lixian Academy. I'll just list your information under the four of us, and you can just follow us from now on." Chen Lin said casually.

"But is this appropriate? My old bones, and I'm still in the Half-step Coffin Realm..."

"That's exactly what I need—a Half-step Coffin!"

Chen Lin paused and added hesitantly: "It's just that by listing you under our four names, your status in the school might be a bit lower; you'll count as our logistics staff."

At Lixian Academy, many students from large families have logistics staff assigned to them.

They are called logistics staff, but they are actually more like guardians.

After all, children from large families value their lives very much.

These guardians are collectively called logistics staff; when on missions, they enjoy the same Lixian Academy law enforcement authority as students, but they cannot enjoy Lixian Academy's welfare resources.

They don't get any other benefits.

Chen Lin could rationalize Director Fei Ming's status, he just wasn't sure if the other party was willing.

However, he was clearly overthinking it.

After understanding the meaning, Director Fei Ming immediately agreed excitedly: "Little Lin, I have entered my twilight years, my teeth are almost all gone, and I've already let go of some things. As for children and grandchildren, they have their own blessings, I won't interfere much. Now, I, Director Fei Ming, am only dedicated to serving the country!"

???

Looking at Director Fei Ming's firm gaze, Chen Lin didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

He silently sent a message to Representative Luo Hong.

This guy Old Fei is reliable!

...

The setting sun sank, and the dusk plated the earth with a layer of golden light.

Ye Huang's home was right in the center of Wu City, so Chen Lin and the others naturally went to his house.

Now, it was getting late, so they decided to discuss the plan for Qin Changsheng in detail tomorrow after the Patrol Bureau sent over all the information.

Ye Huang's mother was a factory worker; hearing that her son was coming back, she got off work early, bought fish and meat, and prepared to cook.

Especially hearing that Chen Lin was there too, she was even more enthusiastic and grateful.

Ye Huang often mentioned Chen Lin to his mother, detailing all the help he had given him and Wang Gu.

To be honest, their talent was dazzling enough in the small Wu City, but in the talent-packed Lixian Academy, it wasn't much.

If not for Chen Lin, he and Wang Gu would have had a hard time getting into Lixian Academy, the top institution in all of Great Xia.

On the trip to the Lower City, without Chen Lin teaming up with them and sharing the number of exotic beasts killed, Ye Huang and Wang Gu's rankings might have been very low!

At that time, the martial arts resources they received definitely wouldn't have been that much!

It can be said that the fact that the two of them could advance to the Shaping Stage in just a few short months was entirely because of Chen Lin, indirectly smashing them with top-tier resources!

Not to mention that every time they did a mission, Chen Lin brought them along, and even without doing much, they could split the rewards equally.

Sometimes Ye Huang himself couldn't figure out why Brother Lin was so good to him.

He didn't know how to repay him.

Maybe give himself to him?

Over time, Ye Huang's mother also came to know about Chen Lin.

Now, she was extremely grateful and formal towards Chen Lin, who had helped her son.

When she met neighbors, she would introduce them with a smile: "This is his son Ye Huang's life-and-death friend, a top student at Lixian Academy."

And Chen Lin and the others were all extraordinary, especially with Old Fei, a Star Bridge 9th Layer, following behind, whose aura was terrifyingly peerless.

In Wu City, it was basically a dimensionality reduction strike!

It really boosted the face of Ye Huang's mother, an ordinary person.

As the sky grew late, Ye Huang's mother had already served more than twenty big dishes, but she was still busy in the kitchen, refusing to rest no matter how they persuaded her.

Saying that martial artists consume a lot, so they need to eat more.

At the same time, news of Chen Lin's return to Wu City was spread by someone.

Like Sun Hao and Liang Wu from the old Special Training Camp, they came directly over to catch up and drink.

This guy Sun Hao, ever since the special training ended, had realized his mistakes; he stopped being a simp and became completely obsessed with fitness!

He was huge now, like a miniature Hulk!

"Damn! Big Brother!"

"Wang Gu told us you were back, so Liang Wu and I rushed over."

Sun Hao came to the door like an old friend.

After all, he had been beaten by Chen Lin before, and their bond was formed through those beatings.

Chen Lin didn't put on airs and warmly invited them in.

"Got bigger again?"

"Back at the Special Training Camp, you were as thin as a monkey, and now you're like this?"

"Ugh!"

Sun Hao waved his hand: "Brother Lin, don't even mention it."

"I don't know who I pissed off, but the shops where I often bought medicine were all investigated."

"If they hadn't been investigated, I could be even bigger now!"

When Sun Hao mentioned this, he was full of resentment.

Chen Lin touched his nose and coughed twice in embarrassment.

He looked at Liang Wu behind him, and for a moment, Chen Lin's eyes widened.

It had only been a few months since they last met,

He saw that Liang Wu, who used to be quiet, was now even more honest and thick-headed, and his head seemed a bit bald.

He was supporting a woman who was 1.4 meters tall, weighed 140 kilograms, and was wearing a gold chain as thick as a wrist.

Ten fingers, ten big gold rings—wealth was rushing right at them!

"You must be the Brother Lin that Little Liang talks about; you're so handsome."

"My name is Xiao Mei, a Wu City entrepreneur."

The woman was full of smiles, speaking enthusiastically and generously.

She wasn't shy at all, possessing a sense of heroic spirit from the pugilistic world.

Chen Lin's mouth twitched as he looked at the honest Liang Wu beside her, and then at the wealthy-looking Xiao Mei.

He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

The old Liang family had been honest for generations, and they had finally welcomed a boss.

"Liang Wu, you really don't take any detours!"

"Come, come, come, everyone come in."
