"why?"

Wang Hao looked at him eagerly and asked, "It's okay, just tell me the truth. I'm not someone who can't stand the truth. It's not a big deal."

Guo Shaoxuan chuckled, took a bite of the strawberry, and said with a smile: "My dad said that the handsome one is Senior Brother Su Chen, and the one who looks honest and a little silly is Senior Brother Wang Hao."

"So, when you came over, I recognized you."

"...Are you praising me or scolding me?"

Wang Hao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. He said unhappily, "Sure enough, I'm telling you, your father is really going too far. He's been staring at me lately."

Guo Shaoxuan's eyes rolled around, and he pretended to ask casually: "How is my dad doing at school? Are there any rumors? I like to hear them."

"No, Lao Guo is a very good person. He definitely wouldn't do anything so shady."

"He's just a mean guy, and he's particularly fond of hermaphrodites. I often can't tell whether he's praising me or scolding me."

Wang Hao ate with big mouthfuls and spoke incoherently.

Guo Shaoxuan's face flushed from trying to hold back a smile. After quickly finishing his meal, he changed the subject: "It's okay. I'll teach you a trick. Next time when Lao Guo tries to play tricks on you, just look at him with such clear eyes."

"Then you have to ask sincerely, 'Old Guo, what did you say? I don't understand.' He broke down after three times in a row."

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a hermaphrodite. I'm actually very impatient and I hate stupidity. I'm very skilled at this, so I guarantee it'll work."

Wang Hao nodded in agreement, but he always felt something was wrong.

Su Chen waited until they finished eating and said, "Get in the car. I'll take you home and our mission will be accomplished."

"Okay, Brother Su Chen, why are those police officers so respectful to you? I've never seen them act this way before. Do they have something to ask of you?"

"Haha, you have amazing observation skills as a kid."

Guo Shaoxuan chuckled and said modestly, "No, no, I'm not good at studying, but I have excellent observation skills. I want to apply to a military academy in the future."

Su Chen was driving and smiled when he heard this: "If you want to apply to the military academy, you need a lot of points. Study hard and don't waste your talent."

"Brother, you haven't told me yet why those policemen were so nice to you."

"I'm a Taoist priest. I've dealt with them before when I was solving a case, so we're familiar with each other."

Guo Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Brother, what level of charlatan are you? What's the internal division of labor? How much is the remuneration? Is there a future for making money?"

Su Chen laughed in silence and teased deliberately.

"Of course there's money to be made. Otherwise, where do you think I got this luxury car? Why do you want to do this business?"

"It's worth considering!"

Wang Hao rolled his eyes at him. Seeing that the kid really believed him, he said angrily, "Go ahead and try to fool me. You think I don't know how high the barrier to entry is in that industry."

"Don't listen to him, kid. He's not a charlatan, he's a true master. The threshold for this line of work is very high, and it requires a high level of understanding, patience, and courage."

"That's enough, brother. If you keep fooling around, be careful that Lao Guo will give you trouble."

Su Chen chuckled and took out a amulet and handed it over.

"Shaoxuan is giving this to you as a gift. Carry it with you to keep you safe. If the cinnabar fades, it will have helped you ward off disaster. Once it fades completely, it will be useless."

Guo Shaoxuan held it in his hand, turned it over and over, but couldn't figure out what was going on. It felt like something more than the amulet his classmates had given him.

Comparing the two in his hands, he still felt that his senior's painting was more realistic.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I like this gift very much."

Su Chen drove to Guo Cheng's house and was about to leave after dropping him off. Guo Cheng called out, "Come on, come here. Your wife has prepared a table full of dishes for you."

The two of them looked at each other and saw the table full of food. They readily agreed and said thank you softly, "Thank you, Master's wife, for your hard work."

"...I've worked hard too, why don't you two thank me?"

Guo Shaoxuan pulled his sleeve and told him about the thrilling experience at the station. He said excitedly, "Dad, Senior Brother Su Chen is so awesome. If it weren't for him, I would have been in jail."

Guo Cheng's expression changed and he looked at Su Chen with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Nothing, just a small favor. It was just a matter of convenience for me to report it to someone in the DP chain."
