Early the next morning, Su Jiang finished getting ready and left home in a cheerful mood.
Today was his first day at work, and he couldn’t afford to leave a bad impression on his colleagues.
As he walked out of the neighborhood, he noticed Li Cai’s car parked not far away.
“Wow, such dark circles under your eyes. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
As soon as Su Jiang got into the car, he noticed Li Cai’s visibly dark circles, indicating that Li Cai hadn’t slept a wink last night.
In fact, Li Cai hadn’t slept. To send out the threatening letters Su Jiang had written, Li Cai had gathered a team overnight, worked tirelessly, and barely managed to finish sending them out to ensure they would be seen.
“Not to criticize you, old Li, but you’re getting older; you need to take care of yourself and rest…”
Click!
Li Cai, with a blank expression, pulled out a gun, aimed it at Su Jiang’s head, unlocked the safety, and calmly said, “Say one more word, and I’ll shoot you right now.”
Who the hell didn’t get enough rest because of whom?
You even care now?
Coming to bother you early in the morning is annoying enough, and you’re here pretending to care and saying this crap.
“Cough… My bad, my bad, bro.”
Su Jiang quickly smiled awkwardly, gently pushing Li Cai’s gun hand back.
Knowing the situation is the mark of a wise person.
“Hmph!”
Li Cai snorted coldly, retracted the gun, and then pulled out a black earpiece from his pocket, tossing it to Su Jiang.
“In the operation later, use this to communicate.”
“I can’t get into the Inspectorate, so give me a signal from inside, and I’ll detonate the explosive device outside.”
“Why not give me the detonator so I can press it myself?”
“Aren’t you the one who said you need to reduce your own suspicion?”
Li Cai couldn’t hold back and burst out, “Across from the Inspectorate is the Public Security Bureau. If there’s an explosion, they’ll definitely come in to search. Where are you hiding the detonator?”
“Oh, okay!”
Su Jiang nodded like a bobbing chicken. He felt Li Cai was particularly irritable today, ready to explode at the slightest touch.
Maybe it’s better not to provoke him.
Li Cai stepped on the gas, eager to get to the Inspectorate quickly, then toss Su Jiang, this annoying guy, out.
On the way, Su Jiang, still uneasy, asked, “Are you sure the amount of explosives won’t cause casualties?”
After all, he was also inside the Inspectorate.
It’s one thing if others die, but he didn’t want to blow himself up.
“Don’t worry, the amount of explosives is very small. I’ve placed them in the storage room where there’s no one. It’s just for intimidation.”
“That’s good. By the way, this is my first time doing this kind of operation. Let’s come up with a name for it.”
“What do you want to call it?”
“Let me see, today is October 13th… Let’s call it the 123 Boom Boom Boom Operation!”
“…Whatever you want.”
“Let’s also give the target a code name. I’ve seen them do that in movies…”
Li Cai’s face was terrifyingly dark. He really didn’t want to talk to Su Jiang anymore.
He swore that after this, he would stay away from Su Jiang and avoid him whenever possible.
Li Cai was really afraid that spending too much time with Su Jiang would make his own mind abnormal.
Shortly after, they arrived at the entrance of the Inspectorate.
Su Jiang stepped out of the car, giving Li Cai a reassuring look over his shoulder.
However, Li Cai didn’t look back at him.
He stepped on the gas, accelerated, and quickly vanished from Su Jiang’s view.
“Why rush off like that?”
Su Jiang was a bit puzzled. Was he really that intimidating?
After adjusting his clothes, Su Jiang confidently walked into the Inspectorate.
Looking at the time, it was half past nine in the morning.
The Inspectorate’s official work hours started at eight.
But… so what?
Su Jiang didn’t really need that salary, and Old Zheng might not even deduct his pay.
“You finally arrived…”
Yang Ming was sitting at the front desk. When he saw Su Jiang, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached him, whispering, “Director Zheng has told me, I will fully cooperate with whatever you need.”
“I’ve checked the place where the explosives are placed. No one will come close.”
Su Jiang was somewhat surprised by Yang Ming’s words and glanced at him. It seemed like this guy had some connection with Old Zheng.
He trusted Yang Ming with such an important matter and informed him of everything.
“Okay, you go ahead with your work. I’ll start my shift in a while.”
“Alright, if you… Wait, what are you doing?”
Yang Ming blinked, doubting if he had misheard.
“Going to work. What’s with that expression of yours?”
Su Jiang felt a bit puzzled and said, “Wasn’t I just hired as a psychological counselor yesterday? Have you forgotten so soon?”
“I haven’t forgotten, but…”
Yang Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not sure what to say.
After all, Su Jiang claimed he was fine, but would a normal person be thinking about going to work at this moment?
Su Jiang ignored him and walked inside on his own.
As soon as Su Jiang entered, he saw a group of people sitting together, whispering to each other continuously.
Some of them were holding the threatening letters he had written the night before.
“What do you think this letter means? A prank?”
“I don’t think so. But who has the ability to send all these things to us overnight?”
“The key is I don’t understand the meaning either. Look, on my paper it says ‘I’ll kill you too.’ What does that mean?”
“Could it be that he actually intends to kill someone, just not us?”
“… “
Watching these people frowning and analyzing the threatening letters he randomly wrote, Su Jiang found it somewhat amusing.
Clap, clap, clap!
Su Jiang clapped his hands, shifting the attention of the crowd away from himself.
“Hello, everyone. You might have seen me yesterday, but please allow me to give a brief self-introduction.”
“I’m Su Jiang. Starting today, I will be serving as your psychological counselor.”
“I heard yesterday that everyone’s psychological conditions are very serious.”
“So, I feel a great responsibility on my shoulders. I couldn’t sleep last night, and I plan to start treating everyone this morning.”
“Later on, please come to my office one by one for a personal consultation. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Su Jiang smiled and, after finishing speaking, followed Yang Ming to his own office.
After hearing his words, the people at the Inspectorate had twitching corners of their mouths.
Such a great responsibility and couldn’t sleep?
Then why the hell are you late for work by an hour and a half?
They wouldn’t dare be late for so long themselves, as being late sometimes results in a deduction from their pay by Director Zheng.
For a moment, the people started discussing again, even forgetting about the threatening letters incident.
“What do you guys think about this Su Jiang?”
“In my opinion, judging by his condition yesterday and today, he’s probably just going through the motions.”
“I think the same. If he really wanted to do well as a psychological counselor, he wouldn’t have left early yesterday and been late today.”
“If that’s the case, let’s give him some face and each go in to chat with him, shall we?”
“Alright, consider it a friendly greeting.”
