Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Next, Xu Jing spoke about the importance of parental cooperation with the school and shared some of her views and requests regarding student learning.

Compared to most parents who just wanted to go through the motions, Luo Fei nodded throughout the meeting, repeatedly assuring her of his cooperation.

Xu Jing was very pleased with his attitude, which was notably better than many other parents. After speaking for a while longer, she let the siblings go.

As soon as they left her office, Luo Xiaoxiao perked up, "Bro, I'll head back to class now."

"Alright, go ahead. Remember to focus on your studies, or I won't help you next time."

"Got it, got it, don't worry."

Luo Xiaoxiao waved her hand and skipped back to the classroom.

Luo Fei also quickly left the school.

He grabbed a quick bite to eat outside and made it back to the police team before two o'clock.

Just as he sat down in the office, Wang Yong immediately came up to report, "Team Leader, Captain Yang and the others just got back."

"How's the situation?"

"After digging, they found a complete female skeleton in that cellar. Captain Yang Mei has already taken it back to the technical room for further identification. Captain Zhao said that as long as the skeleton is confirmed to be Chen Chahua, the case can basically be closed."

After a pause, Wang Yong continued, "Additionally, Captain Zhao wants you to take the time to write a summary report and interrogation records and submit them to him."

"Alright, I got it."

Luo Fei nodded and indeed picked up paper and pen, intending to start writing.

Seeing this, Wang Yong sensibly returned to his desk.

Just as he sat down, Zhaocheng sidled up, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He grinned, "I say, Wang Yong, shouldn't you express something?"

"Express what?"

"Of course, you should treat us to a nice meal. You made such a big achievement; shouldn't we celebrate properly?"

Zhaocheng's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone in the office to hear.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan immediately chimed in, "That's right, Wang Yong, you must treat us this time!"

Missing out on the third-class merit, at least deserves a good meal as compensation.

Hearing that they planned to make him spend money, Wang Yong immediately objected, "I only got a third-class merit, but the team leader got a first-class one. If you're going to treat, it should be him, not me. How can you bear to target me?"

"Don't worry, we can totally bear it!"

Zhaocheng mercilessly stated, "Besides, do you even need a reminder for this? Anyway, neither you nor the team leader should think about escaping; you'll treat us first, then let the team leader do it. This way, we get two meals."

After revealing his plan with a sly chuckle, Zhaocheng was called cunning by Wang Yong.

He looked to Luo Fei for rescue, "Team Leader, Zhaocheng's so sneaky, planning not to let either of us off. You should say something!"

They usually teased each other, knowing it was all in good fun.

Therefore, Luo Fei raised his head and helplessly spread his hands, "I can't help it either... Anyway, I'll accept treating this time; as for you, figure it out yourself."

Luo Fei knew his way around such social nuances.

Even though the first-class merit was entirely earned by his abilities, as their leader, if he didn't show a little gesture, they'd surely feel somewhat unhappy and think he wasn't considerate enough.

And this kind of situation has always been a no-no in the workplace.

A leader, no matter how high or low the rank, can't succeed in getting work done without gaining genuine respect and trust from subordinates.

So even if Zhaocheng hadn't mentioned it, he would still treat them to a meal.

Wang Yong hadn't thought it through that much; he was hoping Luo Fei would side with him, not expecting him to agree without hesitation.

"No way, Team Leader, you sold me out!"

Wang Yong exclaimed incredulously, wearing an expression of betrayal.

His exaggerated expression amused Luo Fei, who ignored him and continued to focus on writing the report.

Zhaocheng and Zhang Fan, however, burst into heartless laughter.

"Haha, Wang Yong, now you have nothing to say."

"See, the Team Leader has much higher awareness than you. Learn from him!"

Wang Yong didn't really mean not to show some gesture.

After all, he knew well enough how he got the third-class merit, and if he didn't treat them to something nice for balance, their brotherhood would be as good as over.

He primarily wanted to joke around, and now that Luo Fei switched sides, he had to quickly concede.

"Fine, I'll treat, but let's agree that you can pick any barbeque snacks you like. Don't bother with anything too expensive; I'm practically broke."

"It's barely been long since we got paid; you're out of money already?"

They got paid reliably on the seventh every month, and today was May 23rd.

Thinking about it, it had barely been over half a month since payday, so the two were understandably skeptical about his claims of being broke.

Zhang Fan added, "The bonus for last month's Wang Wenbin case was pretty good. I got 10,500 yuan; you probably got about the same. How could you be out of money, Wang Yong? You're not being truthful with your brothers!"

"Who's not being truthful... I did get 10,300 yuan last month, but my family set me up with someone, so I had to spend money."

"Your family set you up again?"

Everyone's interest in gossip was immediately piqued; even Sun Jun, who had been silently absorbed in "Criminal Investigation Essentials," couldn't resist his curiosity and looked up, "Did you meet her yet? How's it going?"

From what he knew, Wang Yong had been pressured into blind dates by his family since before the new year, and counting this one, it was likely the fifth.
