"Waiting a while, Secretary Jiang's voice finally sounded, 'Yuan Mu Ye, you're watching so intently, could it be you've never played soccer before?'"

"Upon hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye looked suspiciously at the woman and said, 'I don't like playing soccer.'"

"Secretary Jiang paused, looking at Yuan Mu Ye and saying, 'You don't like playing soccer, yet you're watching so intently?'"

"'Do you find this scene beautiful?'"

"Yuan Mu Ye said calmly."

"Secretary Jiang looked ahead, but couldn't see anything special. 'You don't like playing soccer, and neither do I. I don't even like watching it.'"

"'That's because you've had a good life since you were young, without suffering any hardships, so you don't understand the lives of poor people.'"

"Jiang Lan's family is definitely among the top in this world. Even in this absurd world, Jiang Lan can still live a life of luxury."

"Jiang Lan was clearly unhappy when she heard Yuan Mu Ye say this, 'Yuan Mu Ye, what do you mean by this?'"

"'Nothing, just a casual remark. Secretary Jiang, please don't be angry,'"

"Yuan Mu Ye said lightly."

"It would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as he said it, Secretary Jiang got angry."

"'Negative emotional value from Jiang Lan +299...'"

"Jiang Lan looked at Yuan Mu Ye. 'I've suffered a lot to get to where I am today, you know? You... you shouldn't talk nonsense here.'"

"It looked like Secretary Jiang was really angry."

"Yuan Mu Ye thought it was better not to say anything."

"Just then, Wang Yajie suddenly ran towards him."

"Wang Yajie was panting when he ran over. Seeing Yuan Mu Ye, he shouted, 'Brother Yuan, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time.'"

"Yuan Mu Ye stood up and said, 'Alright, I'm here.'"

"He didn't delay and met with Wang Yajie. After they walked a few steps, Yuan Mu Ye asked Wang Yajie how the preparations were going."

"Wang Yajie said to Yuan Mu Ye, 'Brother Yuan, I can't find most of the things you wanted. I could only find some things that aren't very valuable.'"

"With Wang Yajie's resources, it was indeed difficult to find those things."

"Yuan Mu Ye frowned slightly, then said, 'Give me the things first.'"

"Wang Yajie didn't delay, giving the things to Yuan Mu Ye, and then giving him some of the remaining ghost stones."

"Yuan Mu Ye took the ghost stones without being polite."

"Just then, Yuan Mu Ye turned his head and saw that Secretary Jiang was still standing there, looking at them intently."

"'Yajie, go do your work first.'"

"Wang Yajie left quickly after hearing Yuan Mu Ye's words."

"Then, Yuan Mu Ye came to Secretary Jiang's side and said to her, 'If you want to know what we're talking about, you can be open and aboveboard, instead of being sneaky.'"

"Jiang Lan snorted unhappily and said, 'I don't need to know what you're talking about. Seeing how shifty you are, it must be nothing good.'"

"At this moment, Yuan Mu Ye thought of something. If he had Jiang Lan's help, he might be able to find the medicinal materials he needed."

"His mind raced, and he quickly made up his mind that he had to ask Jiang Lan for help. So he said, 'Secretary Jiang, can you do me a favor?'"

"Jiang Lan was stunned for a few seconds when she heard Yuan Mu Ye's words, and quickly asked, 'What favor?'"

"'It's simple. How about you help me buy all these medicinal materials? I'll give you money.'"

"'What? You want me to help you buy medicinal materials? To run errands?'"

"Jiang Lan looked unwilling."

"Seeing Jiang Lan like this, Yuan Mu Ye thought to himself that Jiang Lan was usually a high-and-mighty young lady, so how could she easily help others run errands?"

"So Yuan Mu Ye gave up the idea and said, 'Then forget it. I'll find a way myself.'"

"Yuan Mu Ye turned to leave after speaking, but was suddenly stopped by Jiang Lan, who said, 'I can help you, but you have to tell me why you're looking for these medicinal materials.'"

"Yuan Mu Ye didn't delay after hearing this, and quickly said, 'To treat people. You also know that our special paranormal unit members are prone to injuries. If we have good medicinal materials, we can help treat people.'"

"'Who are you trying to fool? How many people use medicinal materials to treat illnesses these days? When they get injured, don't they all get sent to the special hospital?'"

"Jiang Lan wasn't someone who could be easily fooled either. Her words left Yuan Mu Ye at a loss for words for a moment."

"After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye said, 'They are sent to the special hospital, but sometimes there isn't enough time, so we can use herbs to treat them first. It just so happens that I know a little about Chinese medicine.'"

"No matter what the situation, Yuan Mu Ye wouldn't admit that he had a problem first."

"Jiang Lan was silent for a while, looking at him suspiciously, then said, 'Let me see what medicinal materials you need.'"

"Yuan Mu Ye gave the list to Jiang Lan. When Jiang Lan saw the medicinal materials on the list, her eyes widened, and she looked at Yuan Mu Ye in disbelief..."

"So many precious medicinal materials?"

"Is this to treat people?"

"'Yuan Mu Ye, I can tell you that I can find all the medicinal materials on the list for you, but even if I find them all for you, do you think you have the money to buy them?'"

"The things on the list were very expensive."

"Yuan Mu Ye was just a deputy director, and his salary and allowances were barely enough to eat."

"Where would he get the money to buy precious medicinal materials?"

"'Of course I can afford it.'"

"Yuan Mu Ye took out the ghost stones, including a level six ghost stone."

"Who knew that when Jiang Lan saw this, she immediately said, 'Yuan Mu Ye, have you violated the rules? All the spoils we seize have to be turned in. Why didn't you turn them in?'"

"'I didn't seize these. I found them. Anything found belongs to me personally.'"

"'Negative emotional value from Jiang Lan +99...'"

"Although Jiang Lan felt a little angry when she heard Yuan Mu Ye say this, she was speechless for a moment. In a way, what Yuan Mu Ye said made some sense."

"'Secretary Jiang, if you help me with this, I'll owe you a favor,'"

"Yuan Mu Ye continued."

"'What kind of favor? What are you going to use to repay it?'"

"The two of them said back and forth."

"Yuan Mu Ye remained calm. After waiting for a while, he said, 'It depends on what you want?'"

"Secretary Jiang pondered for a while, as if she couldn't think of anything, and then said, 'Then I'll just say you owe me a favor for now. When I think of something, you can repay me then, okay?'"

"'Of course, but don't be too excessive or unrealistic, you know?'"

"Yuan Mu Ye had to give her a warning in advance about this."

"To avoid Jiang Lan asking for an exorbitant price later."

"Secretary Jiang said after hearing Yuan Mu Ye's words, 'Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you. It will definitely be something within your ability.'"
