The next day, Kowloon East Police Station.

Detective Shi was idly playing with a lighter.

Yesterday, Fang Chang told him that everything was arranged, but there was still one important thing to do before that. However, the guy was being evasive and wouldn't say what it was. It made me want to punch him!

But considering that he might not be able to beat this "civilian staff member," he had no choice but to give up in the end.

At 10:30 a.m., Fangzai arrived at the police station with a meat bun in his mouth.

Afterwards, under Detective Shi's stern gaze, he slowly finished his breakfast.

"Let's go! I'll take you to do something big!" Fang Chang clapped his hands and said with great enthusiasm.

Detective Shi frowned and looked around, trying to find the "surveillance footage" that Fang Chang had mentioned. However, he found that his busy colleagues around him were not acting strangely, so he simply gave up thinking about it and left the police station with Fang Chang.

After the two figures disappeared, a hidden gaze became bolder, glancing in the direction they had vanished before returning to its busy work.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at a teahouse and followed the waiter directly to a reserved private room.

"You left your watch in the office, didn't you?" Fang Chang glanced at Detective Shi's wrist.

“I did as you said. What are you up to?” Detective Shi glanced around the private room and then said, “Sneaky!”

"You'll find out soon enough," Fang Chang replied nonchalantly.

A few minutes later, footsteps approached, and then the door to the private room was pushed open!

Detective Shi looked closely and exclaimed, "Tracy?"

Tracy swaggered over to the table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Detective Shi looked at Fang Chang with suspicion: "Is this the important thing you were talking about?"

"Hey! I'm warning you, don't mess around! Don't think I don't understand what you're saying!" Tracy was like a cat with its fur standing on end, looking like she was about to bite.

Without giving them much room to perform, Fang Chang tapped the table with his finger and beckoned to the door, "Come in, everyone."

Then, several familiar faces appeared at the door; they were Xu Xi's colleagues from the library.

"Hey~ Hello, Detective Shi and Officer Fang~"

"We were just passing by, what a coincidence!"

"Haha, yeah, what a coincidence!"

"We absolutely did not come along because we were worried that Detective Shi would harm Tracy!"

Several colleagues, whose names were not even mentioned, started talking all at once, and the private room became lively in no time.

Detective Shi rolled his eyes impatiently, but still waited silently for Fang Chang to continue, giving Fang Chang plenty of face.

"The reason I called everyone here is because of Xu Xi," Fang Chang said.

"Huh? You guys are going to lay your cards on the table?"

"Xu Xi? What happened to Xu Xi?"

"Officer Fang, don't scare us! Xu Xi is a good person, how could anything happen to her?"

"Officer Fang, you're joking. We were just passing by. Why did you follow us here on purpose?"

The extras started speaking frantically whenever they had the chance, as if they were afraid that this would be their last scene before filming wrapped.

After hearing Fang Chang's words, Detective Shi looked at him with some surprise, "Are you going to expose Xu Xi's identity? To warn these ordinary colleagues?"

"Alright, everyone, quiet down!" Fang Zai had a bit of a headache and wanted to give these people a physical silence. "What I mean is, Xu Xi's birthday is coming up, and we want to give him a surprise!"

"Huh? That's it?" The extras were clearly very disappointed. They didn't get any gossip to hear, so the trip was a waste.

"Hmph! We've already prepared a surprise for Xu Xi! Do you need to tell us?" Tracy finally had a chance to interject and said loudly.

Tracy, who initially didn't care much about Xu Xi, became more and more determined after repeated setbacks, and without even realizing it, she gradually began to win him over...

Previously, Tracy only thought of Xu Xi as a dull male colleague. After several setbacks, the combination of curiosity and competitiveness, along with the encouragement of her gossipy friends and family, has unknowingly made Xu Xi her first choice for a "romantic partner".

"No, no, no, you don't know Xu Xi well enough. Our addition will make this birthday surprise even more perfect and more touching for Xu Xi!" Fang Chang patted his chest and said confidently.

"I've even tailored a special plan just for you that will win over Xu Xi in one fell swoop!" Fangzai gave Tracy a mysterious smile.

"Really? I don't believe it!" Tracy declared that she was smart enough that even if Officer Fang was handsome, he couldn't fool her!

“Listen to me, Xu Xi likes…” Fang Chang began to softly recount his plan.

As Fangzai continued his narration, the eyes of his gossipy colleagues grew brighter and brighter, and they all switched sides, unknowingly becoming Fangzai's lackeys.

Meanwhile, Detective Shi's lips twitched, unsure whether to feel sorry for Xu Xi or not. Hmm, suddenly he was somewhat looking forward to Xu Xi's reaction!

I've made this guy act with me for so long!

Thinking of this, Detective Shi abandoned his usual aloof image and couldn't help but join the discussion, offering his suggestions.

Xu Xi: I'm scared...

Meanwhile, in the same dimly lit underground base, plagued by perennial power shortages, Xiong Ju rhythmically tapped the table with one hand:

"A birthday party? Perfect, I'd like to have a good get-together with this Black Knight."

Late at night, inside an abandoned warehouse.

Black Knight Xu Xi has just finished her business for the day.

While listening to today's episode of Detective Shi's eavesdropping, I prepared to tidy up and go to rest.

Suddenly, a rapid ringing sound rang out!

"Hello, who is this?" Black Knight answered the phone and immediately switched to Xu Xi's number, a number only his "ordinary friends" had.

"Help! Xu Xi! I'm in the library! Help!!!" Tracy screamed on the phone, then abruptly hung up!

"Um?!"

Xu Xi was startled; the thing he feared had finally happened! His identity would ultimately bring trouble to his ordinary friends!

Without time to think, Xu Xi got herself ready and headed to the library.

The library was silent. Streetlights streamed through the windows, casting shadowy figures between the bookshelves that looked like a row of ghostly figures.

Xu Xi silently climbed in through the window, a submachine gun in hand, and crouched low as she slowly made her way to the second floor. Just as she reached the top, she didn't notice a puddle of water under her feet; she stepped on it with a sharp thud!

In the quiet library, the splattering sound was unusually crisp.

Xu Xi tightened his grip on the gun. "The enemy has an extremely high level of counter-surveillance awareness!"

At the same time, he also saw several figures sway slightly between some of the bookshelves.

Narrowing his eyes, Xu Xi raised his gun and slowly approached...

Suddenly, the library lights blazed on, and a figure darted out from between the bookshelves. Xu Xi raised her gun, ready to fire, but then realized it was her colleague! And that wasn't all; following closely behind this colleague were several others, who slowly pushed out a cake while singing "Happy Birthday."

Startled, Xu Xi quickly hid the gun behind her back and put it into her backpack.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"

Behind their colleagues, Fangzai and Detective Shi clapped and sang with smiles on their faces, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

……

Xu Xi really wanted to shoot each of these people.

It's one thing if they're just colleagues, but don't Chief Fang and Detective Shi know who they are?

Is this some kind of horrifying way to wish me a happy birthday? Are they out of their minds?

I can't take it anymore, I feel a part of my body getting hard!

Just as Xu Xi was silently clenching his fists, he suddenly noticed that Fang Chang and Detective Shi's smiles had become somewhat eerie...

And then I heard a short, quick jogging sound behind me.

"Phew~ It must be some kind of little surprise, right?" Xu Xi thought uncertainly.

Hmm, Tracy isn't here, so it should be Tracy behind me.

Just when Xu Xi thought nothing could scare him tonight, Fang Zai proved him wrong with irrefutable facts: you're still too naive!
