"The relationship between us, I hope I can call it..."

Lin Ze thought about it, and then stretched out his hand towards Li Muhan.

"Cooperation."

"......make a deal."

Li Muhan held her hand. The hand was extremely cold, as if it was from a dead person without any warmth, but it made Li Muhan feel a sense of trust and strength.

Then, after a few brief greetings, Lin Ze went straight to the point and threw a document on the table.

"Take a look. If you have no objection, sign it quickly."

Lin Ze had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had stayed up late again last night.

Li Muhan picked up the document and his hands began to tremble with fear as soon as he saw the title.

"Team Seven, Captain's Appointment Letter!? Director Lin, did you get the wrong one? Shouldn't I sign a labor contract?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? A labor contract is indispensable. We are a state-owned institution after all. Sign this for me first."

There was no doubt in Lin Ze's words, but Li Muhan couldn't just sign it blindly. He had to get things clear.

"Unless you explain it to me, I can't sign this."

Li Muhan put the document back on the table.

"The other members of Team 7 unanimously nominated you. Is that reason enough?"

Lin Ze walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Li Muhan really wanted to tell her that they were underground now and it was pointless for her to smoke by the window.

After hearing Lin Ze say this, Li Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the battle last night and Huo Tian's knife.

"I... am not qualified."

Finally, Li Muhan slowly lowered his head.

As a person who was not sure whether to join the Special Management Bureau yesterday, he felt that he was not qualified to carry Huo Tian's sense of mission.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t have the qualifications.

"Don't be such a hypocrite like a woman."

Lin Ze looked out the window, exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"You witnessed his final battle, and you saw him off. Honestly, I didn't expect you to be so courageous, Li Muhan. No one is more qualified than you. Of course, if you really don't want to sign, I won't force you. But this Seventh Squad may have to be disbanded."

"what?"

Li Muhan raised his head and looked at Lin Ze in confusion.

"Lin Ziyu, Su Xue, Yin Qi, they are all qualified to be the captain, why must it be me?"

"It can only be you, and it must be you, Li Muhan. Admittedly, they are more experienced than you, and their bond with Huo Tian is deeper than yours, but in the end, it is you who will hold this knife. If you feel you are not qualified, then work hard to become worthy enough to bear this expectation. Do you understand?"

Li Muhan was silent.

He felt the black Tang sword behind him, as if at this moment, the sword was also emitting residual heat, as if Huo Tian was gently patting his back with his hand.

Then he spoke in that old-fashioned tone.

"Kid, I leave it to you."

Li Muhan took the document silently and then signed his name.

“I can’t guarantee I’ll do well, but I’ll try.”

Lin Ze turned around, put out his cigarette, smiled and said.

"You just have to be true to your own heart."

Then Lin Ze took Li Muhan to go through the employment procedures.

From then on, Li Muhan became an official member of the Special Management Bureau.

I didn't expect that I would get a new job just after joining the company. Before I even got comfortable in the position of team leader, Lin Ze took an external investigation report and said to Li Muhan.

"Team Nine wants to borrow you temporarily."

The Ninth Team of the Special Management Bureau does not belong to the headquarters, but is affiliated with the Supernatural Management Section. It is also known as the Special Team for Supernatural Events. As the name suggests, the cases they are responsible for are generally supernatural cases involving ghosts.

In this world, in addition to the legendary monsters, there are also some monsters and monsters that humans cannot understand.

The Special Management Bureau has a department specifically targeting evil spirits, namely the Supernatural Management Section, which has a total of five teams, and the most representative one is the ninth team.

"Why do you want to borrow me? Doesn't the Ninth Squad have a specially assigned alien?"

"Team Nine has been in some trouble lately. Their aliens are a little emotionally unstable, so we need to borrow members from other departments."

"But looking around now, only the new members of your Seventh Team have no other tasks for the time being."

"You are the captain now. There has never been a precedent for an alien to be the captain. It is only natural to take this opportunity to win over more members of other teams. Do you understand?"

Lin Ze talked a lot, and Li Muhan was confused. But a new official has to make some moves.

"Is the cooperation agreement between us still valid?"

"of course."

Lin Ze smiled and pointed at the documents.

"If it's a task you don't want to take on, you can always refuse. Of course, your salary will be reduced accordingly. Do you understand that?"

Li Muhan nodded. He didn't mean to refuse this mission, but just wanted to confirm whether Lin Ze, or the Special Management Bureau, had any change in their attitude towards him.

In the end, Li Muhan took the file, but when he left Lin Ze's office, he found that many staff members looked at him with a strange look in their eyes.

"He was the one who killed Huo Tian?"

"Huo Tian absorbed unknown external abilities and violated the highest prohibition of the Special Management Bureau. He can no longer be considered a human being. He just... helped Huo Tian to be free."

"Then this seventh team..."

"It should be him."

Their conversation was all about how they had killed Huo Tian and how they had become the captain now.

Li Muhan gave a bitter smile. This is the disadvantage of airborne. ...

Early the next morning, Li Muhan was woken up by the ringing of the phone. When he looked at his phone, it turned out to be a call from Gu Ruoxi's mother.

"Xiaohan, it's me, Aunt Jiang."

Gu Ruoxi's mother's surname was Jiang. She was also a daughter of a wealthy family in her early years, but she married Gu Ruoxi's father when her family fell into decline.

"I know, Aunt Jiang, what do you want so early?"

Li Muhan was still a little dazed, probably because he had just woken up, and suddenly he didn't remember that he had saved Gu Ruoxi's life last night.

"Xiaohan, uh... I'm in the hospital now. Xiaoxi did some tests last night."

"Oh, is she hurt?"

Li Muhan's tone was calm and he didn't seem to care about Mother Jiang's reaction.

"No, no, it's all thanks to you, Xiaohan. Xiaoxi said you saved her, she was just a little frightened. The doctor said she should stay in the hospital for observation for two days. It just so happened that the police were coming to ask Xiaoxi for questioning in the past two days. "

"Well, it's okay."

"Xiaohan, aunt already knows what happened between you and Xiaoxi."

Aunt Jiang's words made Li Muhan silent. He didn't know what to say. After all, these two elders were very kind to him. He shouldn't be angry with them about the facts about himself and Gu Ruoxi.

"It's okay, Auntie, you and Uncle Gu are like my parents, and what happened between her and me will not affect this."

"Xiaohan, Auntie shouldn't have said anything about the two of you, but... couples will quarrel, and you young people shouldn't be so impulsive when they quarrel."

Li Muhan suddenly wanted to laugh. He probably knew the reason why Aunt Jiang said this.

It was pointed out that Gu Ruoxi didn't tell the truth to her mother at all, and she didn't say that she was kicked out because she was hooked up with a rich man.

"This is not as simple as a quarrel, Auntie, it's okay, we're over it, don't worry, it's a peaceful breakup."

"Xiaohan, your Uncle Gu and I want to treat you to a meal. See if you can..."

Li Muhan scratched his head and sat up a little straighter. Only then did he notice that Xia Yue was sleeping comfortably on top of him under the quilt.

Looking at Xia Yue's cute sleeping face, Li Muhan couldn't help but smile.

As for Aunt Jiang...

"How can I ask you to treat us, Aunt Jiang? You and your uncle have come all the way, so we juniors should be allowed to show off. In this way, Auntie, I will book a place to eat first, and I will let you know when I have made the reservation."

"Oh, Xiaohan is so sensible, and that auntie won't be polite to you anymore."

"Okay, Auntie, if everything is okay..."

"......very noisy."

Suddenly, Xia Yue, who was still sleeping, muttered something.

It seemed that her voice on the phone had disturbed her sleep.

"Xiao, Xiaohan, do you have any guests?"

Aunt Jiang obviously heard Xia Yue's voice, and she asked with some confusion.

"Well, Aunt Jiang, I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now. I'll contact you later."

After speaking, Li Muhan hung up the phone, and then used the corner of the phone to poke Xia Yue's face, who was still lying on top of him.

"what......"

Xia Yue opened her eyes dissatisfied.

Li Muhan was surprised to find that she didn't seem to have just woken up, but had been eavesdropping on his phone call for a long time.

So what she suddenly said just now meant she was expressing her dissatisfaction?

"Gu Ruoxi's parents came to Tianhai City. They have taken good care of me since I was a child, so I am going to have a meal with them tonight."

"...You don't have to tell me."

Xia Yue was still lying on Li Muhan, seemingly not wanting to move her body.

Li Muhan smiled and rubbed Xia Yue's hair with his hand.

"Then why don't you get up quickly?"

"Aren't you going to have dinner tonight? What are you doing up now?"

He knew that Xia Yue didn't want to go by herself, but she had no reason to stop her, so she left herself on the sofa in such a shameless way.

"I don't care, but those two are equivalent to half of my parents. Are you sure you want to wear my ill-fitting clothes to see them?"

"?"

Xia Yue suddenly froze, and then slowly lay on Li Muhan's body, looking up at Li Muhan with a pair of smart eyes.

"What's the meaning."

"I just want you to come with me."

"...what am I going to do."

"You're my guarantor. Our relationship is special now. I can't leave you for 24 hours!"

"You believed Lin Ze's lies..."

Xia Yue propped herself up slightly and sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"are you going?"

"Don't go."

Xia Yue turned her head slightly, then twirled her long hair, which was a little messy from just waking up, with her fingers, and spoke listlessly.

"What a pity. I also plan to book a very luxurious hotel with unlimited supply of all kinds of high-end desserts."

Xia Yue's ears twitched, seeming to be very interested in this.

Of course, Li Muhan knew that Xia Yue was a foodie. It could be seen from the first time he brought her home from the park and saw her gobbling up the fried dough sticks.

The kid hasn't had anything good to eat.

Then I often buy her some desserts, chocolates and the like, and she really likes them.
