C20 I Became a Detective Myself?

No one knew how Xu Lai felt after he came back from the dock. Although he had gotten rid of Zhao Zhongqiang and freed him from a vengeful soul, he had also acquired the long-lost acupuncture technique, the Nine Turns Golden Needle.

Logically speaking, Xu Lai should be very happy.

However, Xu Lai, who had always been responsible for saving lives and healing injuries, now understood a life with his own hands. To him, it was a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, after a few days, Xu Lai finally calmed down a little.

During this period, Zhao Zhongsheng called him more than once to express his gratitude. He kept inviting Xu Lai to work at the Zhao Corporation, but Xu Lai refused in every way. However, Zhao Zhongsheng kept calling until Xu Lai died. He finally gave up, even though Zhao Zhongsheng was expressing his passion. In Xu Lai's opinion, he was just testing him again and again. Thinking about how the Zhao Corporation was filled with people like Uncle Fu, Xu Lai had no intention of getting involved with the Zhao Corporation.

"Sigh, I'm afraid I'll only be an ordinary person for the rest of my life."

Xu Lai laughed at himself. He had always wanted to live an ordinary life. He had never thought that he would be in such a situation, and he had never thought that he would be able to live his current life. If it wasn't for the car accident, he would have never thought of Bugatti Veyron, the Chen family, and the Zhao family.

If it wasn't for the invitation from God.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to extricate himself from it.

Perhaps this was life, filled with coincidences and accidents, absurdity and miracles.

Xu Lai was sighing when a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

On the other end of the phone, a voice that Xu Lai had never thought of suddenly came over.

"Xu Lai."

It was the voice of a slightly hoarse middle-aged man. Xu Lai was stunned at first.

"Dad, why did you call me?"

Xu Lai's reaction was normal. His parents were high school teachers, and the family environment was very traditional. Because Xu Lai was a boy, he did not make phone calls from time to time. Xu Lai did not report his parents' good news or bad news, and he did not frequently contact them. As for his father, Xu Jinjiang, he did not call him on his own.

Just when Xu Lai was wondering why his father would call him personally.

Another voice came from the other end of the line.

"Old Xu, give me your phone. You can't explain clearly."

Xu Jinjiang sighed helplessly. His tone was somewhat helpless.

"Give it to me. I'll call you now."

The person who took the call was Xu Lai's mother, Wang Yan. She went straight to the point and asked, "Son, I heard that you quit your job in the hospital. Did something happen to you?"

Xu Lai smiled bitterly. He did not know which big mouth would spread such news to his hometown. Xu Lai pursed his lips unhappily. However, in the face of his mother's question, as long as he could get rid of the matter of their breakup, he would be pushed to find a new job.

When he heard the news of Xu Lai breaking up, Xu Lai's mother, Wang Yan, said in a regretful tone, "Son, how can there be so many suitable people in the world? The total score is balanced. Take your time. Don't get angry."

Listening to his mother's comforting words, Xu Lai felt a warmth in his heart. However, what Wang Yan said next stunned him.

"Where is the fragrant grass in this world? Just you wait. Mom will contact one for you. I heard that your auntie Chen's girl is also in Loongkou City now. I heard that she is still single. I will ask her for you and ask her out for you."

"Mom."

Xu Lai called out helplessly. Before he could continue speaking, Wang Yan interrupted him and said, "Get in touch with her more. Otherwise, there are so few girls in your circle. You still want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Wang Yan had already used a tone of disappointment. Xu Lai knew that even if he used excuses now, he would still be a bachelor for the rest of his life. It was better not to refuse that his mother might have to do it again sometime in the future, at least so that she could get rid of the nagging admonishment.

His mother clearly wanted him to go on a blind date.

This blind date. In a relatively small city, there was a huge research and development exam. As a place that was not considered a first-tier city in Loongkou City, the average house price had reached 15,000 yuan per month. A house cost at least a million yuan. According to Xu Lai's previous salary in the hospital, it was a few thousand yuan per month.

It was extremely difficult to get a down payment for a house. It could even be said that it was an extravagant hope.

However, Xu Lai did not say these words. He knew that his parents had saved a lot of money for him, but Xu Lai had never planned to use his parents' hard-earned money.

Even though he didn't really need to think about economic issues now, he still had a headache facing a blind date.

"Sigh, I'm always unemployed. What's the big deal? What if my mom comes on a whim one day?"

Just as Xu Lai asked his mother that he had found a new job, he suddenly realized that he really should find a job.

Perhaps it was because he did not want to go to the hospital again, so Xu Lai did not plan to go to the hospital.

He went downstairs and strolled around the talent market. We are not short of money now. We have to find a job that I am interested in.

We can't stay at home all the time, can we?

At the east gate of the Loongkou City talent market.

When Xu Lai was squeezed into the crowd and looked at the recruitment flags around him that were like war flags, his heart was filled with regret.

If he had known that there were so many people, he would not have come even if he was beaten to death. Especially a middle-aged woman with a fat body and a pungent smell of bad quality perfume next to him. She winked at him while sticking close to him. Xu Lai felt that he was about to throw up his breakfast this morning.

Just as Xu Lai was being pushed so hard that he had no idea which company he should look at, one of the signs closest to the entrance attracted his attention.

"From the source, the private investigation agency has the highest case solving rate in the industry. It provides you with strong investigation and analysis. It's professional and effective, and it's worth it!"

Looking at the sign hanging high in the sky, Xu Lai pushed his way to the other side without thinking. He did not think about anything else. He just casually submitted his resume and never came back.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Lai finally squeezed his way under the sign with the origin tracing card and handed it over casually, the hand that received the resume suddenly stopped.

However, Xu Lai turned his head and looked over.

It also stopped.

Because the one under the sign was really Lee Fei.

Xu Lai was stunned for a moment and then he did not even think about pulling back the resume. However, Lee Fei was quick to react and took advantage of the moment when Xu Lai was stunned to grab Xu Lai's building with force.

Then, she did something that shocked Xu Lai.

In the next second, Lee Fei put down the recruitment sign, and then she wanted to close the stall. While she was busy, she grinned at Xu Lai.

"Congratulations on passing the assessment of this private investigation agency."

She passed. ... Assessment?

Xu Lai felt that this girl was teasing him. Did you see the resume? She just said that she passed the exam.

Lee Fei, who had finished packing up her stall at the speed of light, dragged Xu Lai out of the talent market.

"I really didn't expect you to come to my detective agency. Actually, I think you are indeed a material to be a detective."

Lee Fei followed Xu Lai and said to himself.

Xu Lai was sweating.

"Well, I said it was a misunderstanding. Do you believe me? Also, can you give me my resume? I'm here to find a job."

"You said that. Detective isn't a job?"

Lee Fei said. She did not give Xu Lai any chance to retort. She continued, "I announce that from today onwards, you are a member of the Detective Association. You must perform well."

Xu Lai was stunned. He did not know how he became a detective. Of course, this was not the most important to Xu Lai. The main reason why he did not want to see Lee Fei was because he was afraid that Lee Fei would ask about what happened at the dock that day.

Lee Fei seemed to be very sensitive. She quickly noticed what Xu Lai was thinking.

"I will not take the initiative to ask anything about that day. When do you want to tell me?" Lee Fei said. She thought for a while and said, "My father asked me something. I did not mention you."

Xu Lai was silent for a while. He did not know what to say.

"Thank you."

Xu Lai only said these two words. He knew that Lee Fei would know Zhao Zhongqiang's death at the first possible moment. She actually said that she didn't mention anything about Xu Lai, which meant that her father had asked her about it. This would actually make Xu Lai a little cautious, but when he thought about the arrangements made by Uncle Fu and the others of the Zhao Corporation, He was sure that nothing would happen to him. This wasn't because of his confidence in Uncle Fu. It was because he knew that he was in trouble with the Zhao family, and it didn't do him any good. So he wasn't worried.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I also feel that some people deserve to die. Although I know I shouldn't have said such things, I really think so."

"Haha, it doesn't matter."

Xu Lai shrugged. He seemed to have thought it through. He instantly felt good.

At this moment, on the street where Xu Lai and Lee Fei passed by, a group of people at the entrance of the alley not far away seemed to be watching a show. They surrounded an old man who was lying on the ground. Beside the old man stood a young man with a blank face.

Xu Lai did not want to meddle in other people's business.

However, Lee Fei rushed over when she saw it.
