This time, Boss Zhou was driving, and in the back seat were two little lolis. To those who didn't know, it would look like a father taking his two daughters on a self-driving tour, a scene of family harmony.

Of course, this kind of paternal bliss,

Except for Wang Ke,

Seemed beyond anyone else's reach.

Qing seemed to appreciate Lin Ke a lot,

But she put it very bluntly;

She admired that shamelessness that she saw mirrored in herself.

This kind of admiration made it hard for Lin Ke to feel "touched."

She could only carefully accompany her, rediscovering a long-lost sense of nervousness. Yes, Lin Ke had realized that she had been living too peaceful a life, too much like a salted fish.

Suddenly transitioning to a tense and exciting plot, she felt somewhat unaccustomed and unable to fully let go.

Fortunately, this emotion closely matched the feeling of meeting a big shot for the first time, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Being too relaxed would be inappropriate.

Of course, circumstances were stronger than people. At least, in the current situation, as long as the boss didn't choose to show her true colors, everyone had to keep their heads down.

At this moment,

Lin Ke suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, as if a wicked little demon was holding a knife and fork, constantly shouting and praying in her heart:

She was a little excited for the boss to just tear off her mask and deal with the woman beside her!

So, the relationship between women can sometimes become very terrifying. On the surface, they smile cheerfully, but in their hearts, they wish you would drop dead tonight;

They might even have your eulogy written in advance behind your back.

Boss Zhou was getting tired of driving. He hadn't driven long distances for a long time, especially in the last year or two. Whenever he had to drive long distances, his subordinates would do the job as his driver.

Lao Zhang and the other ghost messengers were temporarily staying in Yangzhou, under Feng Si's command. The capture and cleanup of Hao Zhi (a mythical beast) had to continue.

Qing specifically asked Zhou Ze and Lin Ke to accompany her to Tong City first. Since she had given such instructions, Boss Zhou could only do as she said.

"Is being a ghost constable interesting?"

Qing asked.

This woman, sitting in the back, really had an imposing air of authority.

"Serving the Yin Division."

Boss Zhou shouted the slogan without much sincerity.

Along the way, Qing would occasionally ask him some questions, and then she would fall into contemplation. She didn't seem to care about Zhou Ze's attitude, nor did she care if Zhou Ze was answering seriously.

"I see. You're one of Feng Si's people, so naturally you look down on the current signboard of our Enforcement Team."

Boss Zhou was truly helpless.

Why did everyone want to pull him into the Enforcement Team?

Did he look that much like a perverted mad dog?

He felt that his temperament and the temperament of the Enforcement Team were completely incompatible.

"Alright, continuing to follow Feng Si seems like a good path."

Qing didn't say that Zhou Ze didn't know what was good for him.

Along the way, Boss Zhou had gotten slightly familiar with her temperament.

Actually,

Aside from liking to kill people at the slightest disagreement, she was a very easy person to get along with.

At least,

Before confirming that you had absolutely no value,

She wouldn't kill you.

Moreover, for some reason, Zhou Ze found that the other party seemed to admire him a little.

What was that saying again?

The loved one is always fearless.

"When something happened in Tong City, didn't you feel anything?"

Qing asked again.

"No, I didn't even know the Enforcement Team had been to Tong City."

Qing nodded.

This conversation

Seemed a bit silly,

But there was no other way,

After all,

Before knowing Boss Zhou's true identity and trump cards, you could only treat him as a local ghost constable. Your thinking and logic would naturally follow that line of thought.

Qing was a remarkable figure, but not even comparable to Ying Gou, let alone Wang Cai. They were not on the same level at all, so naturally she couldn't escape the limitations of history.

"Is there anything special about Tong City?"

"Anything special?" Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to have anything special."

"An Buqi used to be in Tong City?"

"Although I'm one of Fourth Master's people, I really don't know much about Fourth Master's past. I've only been in the business for two years, so I don't know An Buqi. Was he very familiar with Fourth Master before?"

"You became a constable after only two years in the business?"

Qing smiled slightly.

"Rapid progress."

Zhou Ze took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said:

"All thanks to Fourth Master's care."

Anyway,

He'd put all the blame on Feng Si.

"I see. You really don't plan to join the Enforcement Team? Your Fourth Master, even if he's going to be a judge, in my eyes, to be honest, is just... Hehe.

Although the Enforcement Team is down on its luck now, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse."

"I don't seem to have a choice. If you, my lord, insist on thinking highly of this humble servant, then this humble servant is willing to serve."

"Alright, I can do the paperwork for you after I'm done with the matter in Tong City. This Yang realm (mortal world), after all, is the world of the living. It's fine to come up occasionally to breathe and see new things, but staying on it for too long is like a fish leaving the water and lying on the ground for too long, easily getting dried out and becoming a salted fish."

"You are right, my lord."

"Are you curious why I value you so much?"

"Yes, this humble servant does have some doubts."

"Before I decided to come to Tong City, I had people investigate the archives of the Yin Division. I found that the records in the archives about you, no, to be precise, about all of you, are too few.

I believe in Feng Si's eye for people. He shouldn't be too far off."

"This humble servant is ashamed. Actually, it's probably because Tong City has always had good weather and harvests, and basically nothing happens.

This humble servant also adheres to the habit of treating people with kindness, so I don't have any enemies."

"Perhaps. If the person I'm looking for is really in Tong City, it does seem to make sense."

If that person was really here,

Good weather and harvests

Really wouldn't mean much.

Zhou Ze continued to drive.

Actually,

Calling her "my lord" and using honorifics all the time,

Boss Zhou didn't feel any resentment in his heart.

He just treated it like performing for a monkey.

With food at home, there's nothing to be afraid of.

It was just that Tie Hanhan (Iron Dummy) seemed to be staying quiet because there were outsiders present.

Or maybe he ate too much braised pig head meat and trotters last time and was still sleeping off the digestion.

"Does Tong City have monkey shows?" Qing suddenly asked again.

"Monkey shows? Actually, we can take a detour now and go to Huaian."

"Why go there?"

"Because that's where Wu Cheng'en's former residence is."

"I'm talking about monkey performances."

"There seem to be more in Lixin County, Anhui. It's the hometown of monkey shows."

"Doesn't Tong City have any?"

"I haven't seen any."

"Oh, is that so? If you want to find one, can you find one?"

"Let's give it a try. Will the ones in the zoo do?"

"What do you think?"

Finally,

They were about to get off the highway.

The toll station was ahead.

After exiting the toll station, Zhou Ze pulled the car over to the side of the road. Lao Dao's (Old Taoist) car was also parked there.

"That's the guide you found for me?"

Qing pointed to the old Taoist outside the car, who was nodding and bowing as he walked over.

"Yes, he's a local expert. He's very familiar with the people and things of all walks of life in Tong City.

Didn't you just say you wanted to see a monkey show, my lord?

He might know where to find one."

Lao Dao walked to the car door, and Zhou Ze rolled down the window.

"Hey, Boss, you're back! Oh, a guest! And a… Oh, hello, hello! Nice to meet you, please take care of me!"

Having seen what happened with the little loli Lin Ke,

Lao Dao wouldn't be silly enough to really treat the strange little girl sitting in the back as just a neighborhood kid.

His attitude was really sincere.

His rich life experience told him that the more people like to pretend to be young, the more terrifying they are!

Qing looked at Lao Dao, didn't rush to get out of the car, but asked directly:

"Do you know anywhere in Tong City where there are monkey shows?"

"Monkey shows?" Lao Dao scratched his head, feigning a thoughtful look, and said, "Oh, our place is a plain, and there aren't any old forests or mountains or anything. Besides the zoo, there aren't any monkeys.

I used to live on Mount Emei for a while, and the monkeys there were really numerous and mischievous. Here, I've never seen any monkeys except in the zoo."

Boss Zhou reached out and flicked off his cigarette ash.

He was confident in Lao Dao's on-the-spot reaction, and he didn't think about taking the extra step of specifically reminding Lao Dao in advance.

You had to know that the person sitting behind him was, to put it nicely, a big shot in the Enforcement Team, but in reality, she was no different from a secret service chief.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent by the current leader to carry out the task of assassinating the former leader.

From the beginning of the conversation until now, it hadn't been very long. Zhou Ze wouldn't be stupid enough to send a message to Lao Dao under her nose, that would be too much.

Lao Dao, after all, was a ruthless person who could sell ghost money as RMB in his livestream, so this kind of improvisation was a piece of cake.

Everyone got out of the car, and Lao Dao waited nearby.

Qing looked at Zhou Ze and said:

"How about this, I'll walk around and take a look at Tong City first. You go prepare a suitable residence. Arrange... arrange three rooms, and two more people might arrive tomorrow or the day after."

She was treating Boss Zhou like a service errand boy.

But this was exactly what Boss Zhou wanted.

Damn it,

The person who was taken out to play by Lao Dao as a guide last time,

Had been lying in the pharmacy next to the bookstore, generating electricity for half a year…

"Don't worry, my lord, this humble servant will definitely arrange everything properly."

"I'm relieved with you handling things."

Qing reached out, wanting to pat Zhou Ze again, but gave up due to the height difference.

"This way, please. My car is over there."

Lao Dao pointed to the car opposite.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"You're too polite. It's a pleasure to have you."

Lao Dao trotted over, helped Qing open the car door, and after Qing got in, Lao Dao waved to Boss Zhou and Lin Ke, and then got into the driver's seat.

Zhou Ze and Lin Ke waved to that car together.

Even though the car had turned and driven far away,

Boss Zhou didn't put down his waving hand.

Perhaps from Qing's perspective, Boss Zhou was being very diligent in flattering her.

But only Zhou Ze knew,

He was actually,

Saying a true farewell.

Until he couldn't see the shadow of the car at all,

Zhou Ze murmured:

"Have a safe trip!"
