Lu Shuren once said that before removing a window, you can first propose to tear down the house.
Although Xia Xu did not mean that, he was still greeted with Yao Fu's grateful gaze after he softened his heart and changed to a smaller syringe.
After getting Yao Fu's blood as he wished, Xia Xu left the sanatorium directly.
How the subsequent special departments would respond and arrange for Yao Fu was not something that he, as a temporary consultant, could intervene in.
After all, this position does not have any substantive authority, and only serves as a consultant. The ability to take the lead in this beastman incident mainly depends on Uncle Luo's prestige and explanation.
Uncle Luo's original plan was most likely to just ask him to help identify the beastmen, but due to his age and inability to provide a basis for judgment, it would be difficult to convince Zhang Qun and the others, so Uncle Luo might have been more serious in his instructions.
"There's nothing for me to do next. I'll go back to say hello and then go back to Star City. I don't know what Xiao Baihua is doing now..."
Xia Xu was planning in his mind, the image of the little white flower echoed in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
However, as soon as he returned to the special department’s Decheng branch, he met a familiar person.
"Advisor Xia, you're back just in time..."
When Zhang Qun saw Xia Xu, he smiled and pointed towards an office, motioning him to come over.
"Someone's looking for me?"
Xia Xu was puzzled, but Zhang Qun just smiled and said nothing, just kept motioning him to go in.
Then Xia Xu didn't ask any more questions and just pushed open the door of the office.
This should be an unused office. The decoration inside is very cheap. There is a set of desks and chairs, plus two empty filing cabinets. These are all the furniture inside.
At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting on the office chair with his eyes closed and sleeping.
The man had a stout build and took long breaths. With each breath, the muscles in his body moved rhythmically, like a giant beast soundly asleep, or even more like a mountain that was constantly expanding and contracting.
Swish!
Almost at the moment when Xia Xu pushed open the door, the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold and fierce light flashed in his eyes.
But perhaps he quickly realized the surrounding environment and his gaze quickly retracted. After seeing Xia Xu, it instantly relaxed.
"Uncle Luo, you are such a miserable team leader. Don't you even have a rest room to sleep in?"
Xia Xu also smiled at this moment and said jokingly.
The person in front of him was naturally Luo Hongyun.
In fact, he had almost guessed it before entering the door. In the entire special department, apart from Uncle Luo, probably no one would specifically look for him.
"It's just not necessary."
Luo Hongyun also laughed.
He didn't even take off his combat uniform, and there were even a lot of damage and dust on his tactical vest. It was probably because he didn't even have time to change his clothes after returning.
"I think it's necessary. Uncle Luo, you look like you haven't slept for more than ten days."
Xia Xu said helplessly.
Luo Hongyun's physique would naturally be incredibly oppressive to ordinary people, but for him who had long been accustomed to being with him, he felt nothing at all. Instead, he could sense a strong sense of fatigue in his eyes.
This is absolutely unimaginable for Luo Hongyun, who is extremely energetic and cannot sleep without high-intensity exercise every day.
"It's okay. Everything is done now. I should be able to rest for a while this time."
Luo Hongyun smiled again and changed the subject: "But Decheng must thank you very much.
Originally, I just wanted you to help Zhang Qun and the others identify the Batman, but I didn't expect you to be much more capable than I thought. You even uprooted the entire organization behind them, which saved me a lot of trouble."
As he spoke, a hint of amazement appeared on Luo Hongyun's face.
To be honest, after listening to Zhang Qun's recounting of the situation over the past half month, he almost thought that Zhang Qun and his team had found the wrong person.
After all, in Zhang Qun's words, this consultant Xia is wise and brave, has a plan without omission, makes moves without leaving a trace, seems to read minds, is a fighting master... a whole string of adjectives are used to describe him.
After hearing this, he was full of questions.
Except for the last one which is more reliable (after all, I taught it myself), what the hell are the others
In his impression, although Xia Xu was also quite smart and seemed to be very experienced in identifying people and things, there was no way he could be associated with a shrewd and scheming person.
But after listening to Zhang Qun's detailed account of what happened, he had to admit that Xia Xu's performance was indeed much more amazing than he had imagined.
genius!
When these words came out of Zhang Qun and the others, he inexplicably felt particularly happy, just like hearing people praising Louise.
"Uncle Luo, what do you mean by that? You're not trying to use verbal thanks to get out of your debt, are you? I'm telling you, brothers should settle accounts clearly. You're leaving this time on behalf of my company."
Xia Xu deliberately looked suspicious and vigilant.
Luo Hongyun knew that he didn't want to say these polite words, so he didn't say anything more, just smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are indispensable. The special department doesn't have much else, but a lot of funding."
Xia Xu smiled and moved closer: "But I'm not short of money now. I've made a lot of money recently. Can I exchange it for other rewards?"
"Not short of money? How much did you earn to say that? Let me tell you, if you get a bonus for your contribution this time, it will easily be hundreds of thousands."
Luo Hongyun burst out laughing.
After becoming very familiar with Xia Xu, he naturally knew a little about Xia Xu's background. He knew that Xia Xu was not the rich second generation he had previously thought. He just made some money on his own, but was far from being able to become truly wealthy.
Unfortunately, there is a saying that goes "A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence."
“Earned this amount!”
Xia Xu smiled and made a number seven gesture.
It is a waste of time if a young man does not pretend to be cool. Even if he does not like to be in the spotlight, he will always have the idea of showing off in front of people close to him.
"Seven hundred thousand?"
Luo Hongyun was slightly surprised.
"No, it's 70 million."
Xia Xu smiled slightly.
"… "
Luo Hongyun was also shocked when he heard this exaggerated number.
Seventy million
It seems that I will never be able to earn this amount in my lifetime.
Ordinary people would only hope to win a few million from winning the lottery, but a high school student easily earned tens of millions.
If he didn't know Xia Xu's character, he would definitely suspect that he was doing some kind of criminal activity. No, even crime probably wouldn't make that much money in a short period of time. Robbing a bank wouldn't allow him to take away tens of millions, right
"Okay, I take back what I said. What kind of reward do you want to exchange for? I will do my best to help you if I can make the decision."
Luo Hongyun shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"If possible, I would like to rent the Xinyuan Building and the laboratory below. Then, I heard Zhang Qun talk about that International Research University..."
There was no politeness between Xia Xu and Luo Hongyun, and they directly stated their needs.
