Under One Person: God Profiler

I sat on the floor, feeling utterly exhausted.

Chen Duo frowned slightly. What was wrong with him?

Xia Linyuan restarted his phone and dialed Master Dou's number: "Master Dou..."

Dou Le, hearing Xia Linyuan's words, said sarcastically, "Oh, what's wrong, our head of logistics? Are you coming back now?"

"Yes, we'll be going back soon."

"Sigh, I knew it. How could Jin Dayazi be so easy to catch? Don't be discouraged. Failure is the mother of success. As long as we don't give up, there will be another chance."

Dou Le first offered a few perfunctory words of comfort to Xia Linyuan, then quickly asked, "How is your little girl who was with you? Is everything alright?"

Upon hearing Dou Le's question, Chen Duo turned her gaze over as well.

He met Xia Linyuan's gaze and froze for a few seconds. Xia Linyuan awkwardly touched his nose. It was just hiring a Gu Master, why was someone from South China complaining about it?

"She's fine, nothing's wrong."

"call...."

Dou Le breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happened to that little girl, Lao Liao would definitely make things difficult for me later: "Okay, I'll hang up now if nothing's wrong. I've already arranged a day off for you at school. Go back to class tomorrow."

"Yes, but Mr. Dou, I have a more serious situation to tell you."

Xia Linyuan sat on the blood-soaked floor, looking at the dilapidated room with a guilty conscience, and said, "We accidentally smashed a shop while we were capturing Jin Daya. We need some money to resolve this problem."

Dou Le gasped, "Hiss~ You brat, trying to sound like a know-it-all! You just wait!"

"Hua girl, what does 'money' mean?"

"money."

Hua Wanning took the phone and said, "Name your price."

"Say no numbers! Say numbers! Is the money you earn from surgery for him to spend? You caused this mess, and you expect us to clean up the mess? That's impossible."

"Men should earn their own living."

As Dou Le spoke, he snatched the phone away. Hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, Xia Linyuan strongly suspected that Dou Le had used a powerful magic weapon to grab the phone.

"You have a secret stash of money, right? Handle it yourself. I tried to stop you when you were chasing after it. This is your own doing. If you succeed, you can ask me for reimbursement. If you fail and end up with a mountain of debt, I won't be the one to take the fall."

People need to pay the price for their actions!

Hearing Dou Le's words, Xia Linyuan chuckled and smiled gently: "Master Dou, you said it yourself."

"That's what I said."

"Okay, okay..."

Xia Linyuan repeatedly agreed and hung up the phone. He then turned on the video recorder, burned Jin Dayazi's body on site, and sent the recording to Master Dou.

And it comes with the added message: "People have to pay the price for their choices!"

A short while later, Dou Ye sent a message: "Really? It's not a photoshopped video?"

"The truth will out, and falsehood will become truth. Master Dou, get ready to claim your reimbursement. Don't forget about Jin Daya's reward."

After sending a message to Master Dou with a satisfied smile, Xia Linyuan said to Chen Duo, "Miss Chen Duo, let's go. Leave the funeral arrangements to Huadong. The financial compensation from this hotel will be recorded as operating expenses."

"Your way of getting along with your elders is quite unique."

Chen Duo had witnessed Xia Linyuan's every move and couldn't help but speak up.

"Have it?"

Xia Linyuan was puzzled.

Chen Duo nodded: "Very happy, enviable."

Xia Linyuan smiled and said, "Haha, you can do it too."

He then gently gestured with his fingers as if controlling a Gu: "To have the strength of a Grandmaster at such a young age, your elders must value you highly."

"Yes, Uncle Liao values ​​me a lot. He always praises me for being smart, and he rarely scolds or yells at me. He teaches me everything he thinks is good."

After a moment's thought, Chen Duo said, "He doesn't seem like your man..."

He'll teach you what he thinks is good, but you don't think it's good.

Xia Linyuan seized upon the loophole in Chen Duo's words, pursed his lips, and said nothing more but defended himself, "Master Dou was also teaching me how to do things. He is old, senior, and experienced. Everything he says and does is naturally based on his own considerations. When he scolds me, he just hopes that I can listen to his words, or at least leave an impression. Who knows where I might use it in the future."

"But you don't listen to him."

"This involves a matter of principle. Master Dou's orders violate my principles, which is why I disobeyed. I'm usually very obedient."

Chen Duo remained noncommittal: "What if one day, Master Dou stands in your way? Would you listen to him?"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly and said very gently, "As the old saying goes, there is rarely a way to have it all. 'Rare' does not mean 'non-existent.' There will always be a way to get what you want without compromising yourself or hurting your loved ones."

"If you can't find a way to satisfy both sides, it just means that you're not skilled enough."

"Our actions have made them uneasy."

After hearing Xia Linyuan's words, Chen Duo stopped talking and silently followed behind him. After telling the hotel owner that they would go to the police station to collect compensation the next day, the two of them went to the streets of Jitong Town again.

The once vibrant red sky has now turned a pale blue, and the newly risen crescent moon is reflected in the shimmering sea.

News of the incident at the hotel had already spread, and villagers could be vaguely seen peering at the hotel from the streets.

Xia Linyuan lowered his eyes, walked through the crowd, and made his way to the seaside.

"Miss Chen Duo, it's time to part ways."

"Ah."

"Miss Chen Duo, I wish you get what you want soon."

"You too. I wish you the freedom to do whatever you want."

Xia Linyuan and Chen Duo walked to the place where they had landed during the day. The land was winding and long, so it was faster to return by the same route than to take a car back to the base.

The two men found the car door that had carried them across the sea, cut it in two, and threw it into the ocean.

Just as the two were about to step onto the surfboard.

A child's innocent call came from the shore.

"Pretty sister!"

Chen Duo glanced at Xia Linyuan, as if seeking confirmation, 'Were you calling me?'

Xia Linyuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Miss Chen Duo is very beautiful."

A little boy came running over excitedly, glared at Xia Linyuan, and then pulled a piece of candy out of his pocket: "Pretty sister, can you be my wife someday?"

Xia Linyuan's vision went black. What was that?

"Sorry, children say the darndest things! The child is lustful, just like his father!"

An old man with a cane came running after them, shouting loudly. It was the same old man Chen Duo had asked for directions from earlier that day.

Upon seeing Chen Duo and Xia Linyuan, he exclaimed, "Oh, it's you two! Surfing so late!"

Xia Linyuan lowered his eyes and said, "Hobbies and interests."

“That’s a healthy hobby.” The old man smiled, then snatched a handful of candy from the little boy’s pocket and stuffed it into Xia Linyuan’s hand. “Sorry for keeping you entertained. The child is ignorant, please forgive him. I’ll go back and discipline him.”

"This candy is mine!"

The little brat yelled, and without saying a word, the old man lightly kicked him.

"Sir, there's no need for that..."

Before Xia Linyuan could say anything more, the old man had already grabbed the little brat and started walking towards the town...

This grandfather's temper seems familiar.

Xia Linyuan's buttocks throbbed slightly. He opened his hand and offered the candy to Chen Duo: "Miss Chen Duo, would you like some candy?"

Chapter 175 Meeting at Biyou Village

In the dense forest.

Xia Linyuan looked at the candy in Chen Duo's hand and smiled inexplicably.

When we parted,

Chen Duo managed to snatch a durian candy from a handful of milk candies.

There was no reaction after eating it.

Xia Linyuan asked, "Doesn't it smell bad?"

Chen Duo, on the contrary, remained calm: "I chose this myself. It's very sweet."

...

Xia Linyuan did not immediately make a selection, but instead asked with a smile, "Miss Chen Duo, do you have durian candy in these two?"

Chen Duo slowly used her thumb to push a candy to the back: "This is a durian candy."

Xia Linyuan picked up the remaining candy and put it in his mouth.

A foul stench spread through my mouth.
