“You… why did you stand
up on our blind date?”
That one line left Lin Xun utterly dumbfounded.
“Stand you up? I… I don’t even rember going on a blind date with you!”
The girl studied his face carefully again, as if reconfirming.
“My na is Lu Caiyi. August 12th, 1:30 p.m., at the Teahouse. I waited an hour for you…”
Lin Xun suddenly recalled—that was the day his mother arranged a blind date, and he skipped out on it.
And now, here stood the very woman he was supposed to et… in the Intelligence Division.
So this Lu Caiyi—was she also an Apostle? An official Apostle? And a colleague in the sa division?
“What are the odds…” He forced a smile, rubbing his temple before finally saying, “That whole situation… it’s a long story, really.”
It took quite a while for Lin Xun to fully explain the misunderstanding and his absence that day.
When Lu Caiyi finished listening, she looked surprised.
“I really am sorry about the blind date…” Lin Xun added sincerely.
Seeing how earnest he looked, the displeasure in her heart lted away.
But her thoughts drifted back to earlier that morning…
—
Special Office of the Public Security Bureau, Wen City.
Top floor of a three-story building, Team Leader’s office.
A burly middle-aged man with a full beard looked across the table at the girl in white, speaking with heartfelt gravity.
“Yiyi, I’ve treated you pretty well, haven’t I?”
Lu Caiyi nodded obediently. Not just Team Leader Wang—the entire Ard Division treated her very kindly.
As one of the few won in the Ard Division, she was undeniably beautiful, had an incredible figure, and was soft-spoken and sweet. To call her the team’s little darling would be no exaggeration.
“You know, our Ard Division is the largest aside from the Surveillance Division, but even we can’t handle the Intelligence Division poaching from us like this!”
Lu Caiyi nodded quickly.
“They’ve been stealing our core Apostles one after another—I haven’t slept a wink for days. And those won have the nerve to call it ‘routine personnel transfers’…”
More nodding, chicken-pecking-style.
“Yiyi, your mission this ti is simple. Being backup muscle is secondary—your main job is to go over to the Intelligence Division… and poach soone for us!”
He clenched his fist and grinned. “This is what we call ‘using the enemy’s own tactics against them!’”
???
Lu Caiyi had been nodding along, but the more she heard, the more wrong it sounded.
“Team Leader Wang, you want
to… poach soone? From the Intelligence Division?” She pointed at herself, wide-eyed.
“That’s right! They showed us no rcy, so don’t bla
for being ruthless,” Wang said, grinning wide. “At first, I thought of sending one of our handso guys to infiltrate. But then I thought—hell, that’s like tossing at buns at a dog, never to return!”
“So I went the other way and sent you instead. Makes perfect sense, right?”
“Beco besties with them, let them know how good the Ard Division is—benefits, culture, perks, you na it. Subtly brainwash them. And when the ti’s ripe… I’ll reel them in!”
Dear lord… Lu Caiyi was stunned by Team Leader Wang’s bizarre logic.
So this was why other departnts called the Ard Division “strength-stat dumpers.” It wasn’t a complint—it ant the division dumped all its stat points into brute force.
Team Leader Wang really had a Strength-only build—zero points in Intelligence.
“Haha! Isn’t this a great plan…”
—
Back in the present, Lu Caiyi recalled Team Leader Wang’s passionate speech. Her heart was in turmoil.
Yiyi, maybe he was just angry. Don’t take it seriously, she told herself.
Maybe he was just venting about the Intelligence Division poaching talent, not actually asking
to go steal soone in return…
But his serious expression didn’t feel like a joke.
And asking her to steal one of those cunning female veterans? That was just asking for failure.
Between two evils, choose the lesser.
Compared to approaching those clever and sly ladies, maybe it was better to go for this rookie guy.
After all… he had originally been her blind date. That made him, by extension, “half a mber of the Ard Division,” right?
That was totally fair.
After thinking it through, she clenched her fists and summoned her courage.
“L-Lin Xun… could I get your contact info?”
As soon as the words left her lips, her face burned with embarrassnt.
Lin Xun, seeing her shy and bashful expression, took out his phone and exchanged contact info with her.
Just normal coworker networking… this girl in white sure was timid.
Lu Caiyi exhaled deeply, her eyes curving into a bright smile.
Ding~ The elevator doors opened.
Ye Xiaoqi poked her head out from the third floor—and the sight before her imdiately made her eyes narrow.
That was the Ard Division’s enforcer with the codena “White Deer”… standing before Lin Xun with a bashful expression?
Ye Xiaoqi narrowed her gaze. Her womanly intuition scread—sothing’s up between these two!
“Lin Xun, Team Leader Li wants to see you.”
She walked straight to the couch and sat down beside White Deer, locking eyes on Lu Caiyi with sharp scrutiny.
Lu Caiyi imdiately lowered her head like a guilty cat, pretending to be engrossed in her book.
Lin Xun nodded, stepped into the elevator, and headed up to the team leader’s office.
There, Li Xingyue sat on the sofa, her black pencil skirt perfectly outlining her elegant, curvaceous figure.
The superior officer said nothing. She simply picked up her phone and sent a text.
Monts later, Lin Xun’s phone vibrated—an SMS notification from the bank. 50,000 yuan deposited.
He blinked. Paynt? But today was just his first day—far from payday.
Li Xingyue’s gaze was heavy with unspoken aning.
Lin Xun was montarily lost, thoughts racing.
Then she rested her chin on one hand, her long legs crossed beneath the taut stretch of black stockings, and said coolly:
“This is your reward for killing the ‘Jester’… and saving Agent Zero.”
