"Neither of you is leaving until you explain yourselves clearly today!" Detective Shi slammed his hand on the table, nearly spilling Fang Chang's milk tea.

Fang Chang took a sip of milk tea and said helplessly, "You know, as a civilian employee, it's reasonable for me to be familiar with the characteristics of various weapons and equipment."

"I've seen this kind of bomb tactic on the dark web. No matter which wire you cut, it will explode. There's no way to solve it."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier? And how do you explain evacuating the hospital square in advance? Did you already know that bastard was carrying this kind of bomb?" Shi Mangsheng found the crux of the matter and asked pointedly.

"You know, my nickname is 'One Step, Three Calculations,'" Fang Chang began to make up a story on the spot. "It's basic to have several plans in place for everything, to be prepared for any eventuality."

Instead of interrogating your excellent colleague, why don't you show some concern for your best buddy?

[Secret Technique: Attention Diversion]

Upon hearing this, Detective Shi indeed shifted his focus.

He frowned and began to unleash a torrent of words:

How did you know I was defusing a bomb?

How did you know I was in the hospital?

"Why are you calling me impersonating the bureau chief?"

"How do you know the red and blue lines on the bomb so clearly?"

Xu Xi chuckled awkwardly, and seeing that Detective Shi's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, he had no choice but to explain:

"I work in a library, where you can find all the answers you want to know."

After a moment of silence, Detective Shi spoke again: "I see you're quite capable, have you considered coming to help me?"

"Instead of serving a bunch of people in the library, come and serve me."

Fangzai looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes gradually becoming strange.

Xu Xi's answer, riddled with holes, fooled Detective Shi. Detective Shi even invited Xu Xi to "serve" him...

(The line “Rather than serving me alone” is the original line from the Mandarin version of this movie.)

Tsk~

Seriously speaking, Detective Shi was definitely not so easily fooled. The reason he didn't press for details and chose to accept that perfunctory answer was probably because he didn't want to lose Xu Xi as a friend.

Who doesn't have their own secrets?

There's no need to take things too seriously if your bottom line is violated.

While the three continued arguing, Xu Xi's library colleagues were watching them furtively from a table not far away.

"Look at them, Tracy! How happy they are!"

"I knew it! With Detective Shi being so ruthless, how could Xu Xi possibly be interested in him! I bet Officer Fang has a better chance of winning!"

"Hey! Which side are you on?"

Tracy stood up angrily and strode toward the table where Fang Chang and his two companions were sitting.

Tracy is Xu Xi's female colleague, young and beautiful, and the female lead in the film.

Encouraged by her colleagues, she began pursuing Xu Xi, a "nice guy." But Xu Xi, knowing his own situation, dared not reciprocate her feelings and had long pretended not to understand her intentions.

Meanwhile, Tracy's colleagues, who had been offering her advice, became anxious and began to analyze the reasons for her failed pursuit.

How could he fail to win over such a beautiful girl? Everyone was baffled until their best buddy, Detective Shi, showed up...

……

That's not all. Everyone thinks that with Tracy's looks and patience, she'll be able to defeat Detective Shi and save Xu Xi sooner or later.

Then one day, the handsome police officer Fang also became a regular at the library...

……

Xu Xi's disguise was remarkably successful. Even now, his gossipy colleagues are still dedicated to their grand plan to save the "honest man."

Seeing Tracy walking aggressively towards him, Fang Changchong raised an eyebrow at Xu Xi and gave a hearty "hehe" laugh.

"Snapped!"

Tracy slammed her hand heavily on the table with the three of them. She hurt herself because she hit it too hard, and without saying a word, she started shaking her hand with tears welling in her eyes.

……

Looking at the seemingly dim-witted girl in front of them, the three fell silent for a moment.

Shocking! This single palm strike silenced three men!

The group of relatives and friends in the distance were also stunned, and then sat down awkwardly, pretending that they did not know Tracy.

Realizing the atmosphere was getting tense, Tracy immediately put her hands behind her back and loudly protested, "What are you three talking about! Why didn't you include me!"

“Let’s talk about things you don’t understand, kid.” Detective Shi, the straight-laced guy, spoke first, glancing at Tracy’s hands behind her back with a disdainful look.

"Long time no see, Tracy!" Fang greeted her warmly. Good-looking people always get preferential treatment, even if they don't look very smart.

"Detective Shi is talking to Xu Xi about work," Fang Chang continued.

Xu Xi smiled and nodded, indicating that Fang Zai was right.

"Detective Shi just told Xu Xi to quit her job at the library so she could serve him alone!" Fang Chang continued, speaking the truth.

"Pfft!" Detective Shi spat out the coffee he had just drunk, finally realizing how ambiguous his words were.

Xu Xi's ever-present smile froze, and she lost her composure.

"Ah!" Tracy let out a short scream, then reached out and covered her mouth tightly with her hand. But before her hand could fully recover, for a moment...

It hurts so much!!! My hand and my heart started hurting at the same time!

Upon hearing the screams, the family and friends rushed over to protect her.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

"Did someone bully you, Tracy?"

"Officer Fang, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Looking at the chattering crowd in front of her, Xu Xi couldn't help but show a gentle expression in her eyes.

This is the life he has been desperately pursuing but has never been able to obtain.

It was an extremely ordinary life, filled with all sorts of troubles, yet every moment felt so real. Unlike his previous life, where he never lived a single day for himself.

"Envious?" Fang Chang nudged Xu Xi with his elbow and asked with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Xi composed herself, her expression betraying her true self, and replied softly, "Too far removed from my own persona."

After Fangzi and Xu Xi tested each other last time, they both tacitly pretended nothing had happened. Fang Chang had no interest in finding someone to reveal Xu Xi's identity, and after Xu Xi secretly investigated, she found that Fang Chang's identity was simple and didn't seem like a bad person, so she didn't delve any further.

Everyone has secrets.

Just as Fang Chang said, it's reasonable for him, as an office worker, to know a few martial arts skills. And as a librarian, it's naturally not a problem for me to undergo some physical modifications and become proficient in firearms at level 8.

Detective Shi: Am I the only one with a problem?

The leisurely days didn't last long. One noon, Detective Shi suddenly received a phone call from his subordinate. The subordinate said that a Hong Kong drug dealer named "Kim Koo" had contacted the police, saying that he needed protection.
