Chapter Five, Junior Sister (Five)

Certainly

The office is devoid of ostentatious and valuable calligraphy and paintings, featuring bright floor-to-ceiling windows, a gray long-haired carpet paired with a leather sofa, a patterned marble countertop, and a lily-colored cylindrical table lamp, all of which create a low-key yet spacious atmosphere that aligns well with Sheng Junshu's personal temperament

The phone vibrated with a "ding-dong," the screen lit up, and the bold red text "Hengnan" flashed at the top. Sheng Junshu watched it fade away, moved his finger down, and pressed B2. The elevator descended rapidly

Sheng Junshu paused for a moment and asked, "Have you gone out?"

Sheng Junshu stepped out and gestured for him to take a seat on the opposite sofa: "Officer Jiang, you are too polite. Regarding the data exchange, it is still necessary for you to make a special trip."

In the president's office, the warm orange glow of the evening sunset envelops the surroundings

"Little Second Sister... it's tragic." Zhang Sen shook his head, "At sixteen, her parents insisted on sending her to a mental hospital, and Little Second Sister ran home, crying, with wounds all over her body. Her parents simply disowned her."

It should be. At that time, he was on the way to Hengnan, sensing the intense energy fluctuations from Xiao Zilie, and immediately took action to intercept him, subsequently receiving his complaint call

Later, a note was added in parentheses: "Question: What does it mean to not be in the same world? Answer: For example, when we go out to eat, we always suggest going to popular trendy restaurants, ordering a seafood and meat combo that costs over 100. We are just kids from ordinary families; it's fine once or twice, but going there all the time is definitely unbearable. Another example is the brands she shops for, which we don't really understand and find too expensive. Over time, we feel that she is flaunting her wealth, while she feels that we are excluding her."

There is no one left. Sheng Junshu said casually, "Now it is just me and Junior Brother Liu," and after a moment's thought, added, "and Junior Sister Er."

Li Mengmeng in the photo is part of a group he took in front of the amusement park. She has an average appearance, but her makeup is exquisite and her outfit is fashionable, making her look somewhat like a young internet celebrity at first glance. The dark green velvet handbag in her hand, if I remember correctly, is a vintage new release from a luxury brand from a month ago

Sheng Junshu held the steering wheel loosely, gazing ahead, not in a hurry to start the car, and suddenly said: "There is a box of egg yolk mooncakes in the drawer"

Jiang Sheng, sipping tea from the cup with a slurping sound, patted the brown paper bag on the table and said, "The complainant is a female university student, a junior at Qinghe A University. Three days ago, while visiting a clinic in Changhai Community, she encountered an anomaly for the first time. The entity was tangible and could engage in conversation, but it did not attack her; it merely asked her for water to drink"

This decorative wall is vast, featuring a large ink wash landscape painting in deep blue tones. Upon closer inspection, it is evident that watercolor has been used, embodying a blend of Eastern and Western artistic elements. The identity of the artist remains unknown. The painting predominantly employs negative space, with mountains shrouded in mist, exuding an air of mystery.

Alright, I won't say any more unnecessary words. The information is all inside—originally it should have been delivered by Commissioner Xiao, but I couldn't find him in the office, so I had to make the trip myself

Sheng Junshu said: "You haven't changed much either"

Bang bang bang

Mr. Sheng, have you also gotten married

"It is impossible not to believe, for us small police officers." Jiang Sheng said self-deprecatingly, then remembered to ask, "What is the name of your sect?"

Jiang Sheng seems to be still in high spirits, "I know a barbecue restaurant that is particularly good, shall we go for a couple of drinks tonight?"

Jiang Sheng reached out to touch, as if he were feeling the clouds and mist in the painting, and his gaze deepened: "Thinking back to five or six years ago, I would never have believed that there were truly supernatural phenomena in this world, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself."

Oh, you can still get pregnant while practicing the Dao!

Zhang Sen sighed, opened the car door, picked up the file bag from the seat, and sat down heavily in the passenger seat: "Have you eaten?"

The relationship with my roommate is average; we live in the same dormitory but rarely chat, mainly due to a lack of common topics... It feels as though we are not from the same world

"Yaoshan." Jiang Shengzha touched these two characters and asked, "What number disciple is that brat Xiao Zilie to you?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head and insisted on pointing to his crew cut: "I am much older, you can see that half of my hair has turned white"

Victory expressed some confusion: "Isn't it incorrect? How can people of different generations refer to each other as brothers?"

Zhang Sen turned around and said, "She has a younger one at home, you know, right?"

Sheng Junshu naturally tugged at his sleeve and said, "It's nothing, just a little scratch from playing with the cat."

Jiang Sheng: "Mr. Sheng is impressive."

Junior Sister

Starting today, he is faced not only with a villa meant for sleeping, but also with a living being in the villa that is waiting for his care... a creature that is afraid of ghosts

Oh, there is not a whisper of wind. Who are you marrying?

Sheng Junshu said: "Among the peers, many have left for various reasons, and those who remain are indeed very few. The master has brought together our two generations, and we can barely be called brothers in the same school."

Jiang Sheng's curiosity was piqued: "So, who else is in your sect?"

Sheng Junshu smiled and said, "Do you believe it now?"

I usually enjoy watching TV dramas and videos from beauty vloggers, studying luxury goods and makeup, and I have worked as a beauty content creator. My academic performance is average, and I do not engage in social activities. I tend to feel a bit aloof towards strangers and often hang out with a beautiful senior from my hometown named Xu, going out for street photography and such

The old police officer extended his hand from beneath the police uniform coat to shake hands with the person behind the desk: "Mr. Sheng, I have long admired you."

I won't eat anymore. I'm going home first

Sheng Junshu raised his wrist to check the time: "Isn't it only 7:30?"

Zhang Sen silently held his stomach. He truly could not stand those who practiced fasting; for them, eating was like a game, they could simply choose not to eat.

Sheng Junshu began to browse through the materials in the file bag

She seems to be very active online. Oh, she has a boyfriend whom she met through online chatting. It is said that he comes from a wealthy family, is somewhat handsome, and dotes on her. Every time she receives perfume, lipstick, or something similar, she always posts on her social media to show off.

The two individuals walked side by side from the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor of the building, and arrived at the entrance

*

When ill, one does not go to a large hospital, but rather to a clinic in an old residential area

Only he himself knows that this meager income is filling the vast, half-dead, and barely surviving gap of the sect that has endured for a thousand years; money is always considered insufficient, never excessive

Sheng Junshu said: "In the cultivation sect, there is no distinction between men and women"

The black sedan also slowly started, disappearing at the end of the road under the orange-yellow streetlights

Zi Lie indeed startled the snake in the grass and the books, but it was also sufficient to intimidate the vengeful spirits; it is possible that the opponent may retreat in the face of difficulty.

Over the years, he has resolved countless matters on behalf of Xiao Zilie. At first, when he had to apologize for others, he would feel flushed, exasperated, and humiliated. However, after doing it many times, he became accustomed to it; his lips would touch, and he would speak without hesitation.

Jiang Sheng : `` ... ... ''

The impeccably clean elevator doors slowly closed, reflecting a slender shadow. Sheng Junshu stood alone in the elevator for a moment, yet did not press the button for a floor.

Sheng Junshu: "Don't fall off the vehicle"

No, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but complain, "Since there is a junior sister, why must they assign this office work at the police station to a still-studying young kid?"

Jiang Sheng particularly appreciates serious individuals, setting down his teacup, a glimmer of admiration passing through his eyes: "After the incident, she temporarily stayed in her boyfriend's rented apartment in Changhai Community. On the 23rd, around six o'clock in the early morning, she encountered an anomaly in the room again, but it quickly disappeared.

Sheng Junshu: "... ..."

I apologize, Officer Jiang. My junior is young and ignorant, with a restless temperament. As his senior, I offer my apologies on his behalf

I went to Xiaojier's house today. Zhang Sen rested one hand under his chin, pondering carefully, "I knocked on her door, but no one answered. The neighbor said her father went to play cards, and her mother went out in the afternoon and hasn't come back since."

I don't know, we only asked her classmates, and she was not happy about it. Jiang Sheng laughed, "The complainant is now saying that the mental issues are due to not resting well, and is currently taking medication to adjust, and is not very willing to cooperate with our police investigation"

You are still ranked by generation, so you belong to the generation of the character 'Jun'. Jiang Sheng laughed, "It's just like how Guo Degang takes in disciples; upon entering, the master bestows a name, such as 'He Yunwei' or 'Yue Yunpeng'. You are 'Sheng Junshu' and 'Xiao Zilie'.

The car window was rolled down, and Zhang Sen's voice echoed in the dark basement: "Boss, why are you leaving so late again? There are no cars left in the garage."

Firstly, Xiao Zilie simply cannot sit still in the office, disregarding the rules entirely, as he does not like it. Secondly, he has noticed that both Sheng Junshu and Xiao Zilie possess exceptionally handsome appearances, leading him to deduce that these Yao Mountain disciples must be outstanding individuals among people. The police station is filled with positive energy; if a beautiful woman were to be placed under a glass dome, sitting at her desk every day, it would certainly be a feast for the eyes

Next to Qinghe City Park, a car slowly came to a stop by the roadside. With no one around, the car door opened, and a small animal with smooth chestnut-colored fur darted out of the car. It flicked its long, fluffy tail, which made a "bang" as it hit the door, and then it dashed forward, disappearing into the shadows of the bushes

Sheng Junshu swiftly pressed the elevator door close button with his thumb and smiled slightly, saying, "No need, take care."

Jiang Sheng was even more shocked, "Can we get married?"

Sheng Junshu lowered her head to fasten her seatbelt, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang Sen's face twisted in rage as he pressed against the car window, knocking on it

"Did Mr. Sheng guess it?" Jiang Sheng chuckled softly, revealing a set of yellowed teeth, "Is it that kid who took action?"

Sheng Junshu placed his hands in his pockets and smiled, saying: "Yes."

Do wealthy people still have the leisure to raise cats? Jiang Sheng chuckled, his hawk-like eyes scanning the handsome face of the man before him, concealing his surprise: "I had the fortune of meeting General Sheng six years ago, and he truly hasn't changed one bit."

I am also almost there

Jiang Shengshuang received it with both hands, feeling flattered and surprised. She caught a glimpse of the red mark on the side of Sheng Junshu's thumb and thought it was a burn: "What happened to your hand, Mr. Sheng?"

Sheng Junshu found it somewhat strange: "Does this girl come from a well-off family?"

Since its establishment, Shengxing has developed into five divisions, with the headquarters occupying an entire building. To outsiders, Sheng Junshu can be seen as a member of the affluent upper class. Even now, he remains personally involved in every matter, and many predict that his ambition and perseverance are aimed at creating a vast empire for his descendants

Thank you, thank you, boss

"How could we make President Sheng apologize?" Jiang Sheng hurriedly waved his hand with a smile, feeling a sense of balance within, and began to look up and examine the office of the president at Shengxing.

Sheng Junshu: "You flatter me."

Jiang Sheng chuckled softly, caressing the file bag on the table, his mind as clear as a mirror. Despite the words from Sheng Jun, he ultimately still protected his junior disciple.

Zhang Sen is not present, Sheng Junshu personally picked up the paper cup that contained the tea leaves and filled it halfway with hot water from the water dispenser

Zi Lie is the sixth disciple and is the youngest among those of the 'Zi' generation

Sheng Junshu, upon hearing this, raised his head to gaze at the wall, where a pair of deep black eyes reflected the blue-black landscape in the painting. After a moment of silence, he softly said: "Yaoshan"

Sheng Junshu listened, his temples throbbing, as the police officer in charge of the public security line expressed dissatisfaction with Xiao Zilie, both openly and covertly, or rather... it was dissatisfaction with their responsibility as a small, specialized group of individuals with extraordinary abilities

Li Mengmeng is set to graduate this June, but she has not yet signed a job contract and has no plans for further studies. For nearly a month, she has not even been staying in her dormitory.

"Junior Sister?" Jiang Sheng squinted his eyes, "In your cultivation, can there still be women?"

Upon raising his head, Sheng Junshu had already quietly written half a page in his black leather notebook

Sheng Junshu merely awkwardly curled the corners of her lips without saying a word, and as Jiang Sheng stood up, she walked to the wall adorned with picture frames directly opposite the floor-to-ceiling window

Sheng Junshu's pen paused on the notebook, repeating: "23rd, six o'clock in the morning"

Certainly

There is still an hour and a half until his usual off-duty time. If it were in the past, he would have returned to the 17th floor office to make the most of the time to continue handling the remaining work

If everyone were as accomplished and diligent as General Sheng, no one would be able to find any faults

Sheng Junshu remained silent, his dark eyes flickering slightly

Jiang Sheng asked this question without any other intention

"Junior Sister..." Sheng Junshu pondered, lifting his sleeve to glance at his watch. It was 7:30. He contemplated whether to invite Officer Jiang for a meal as a way to repay a favor to Xiao Zilie. Thus, while pushing him out, he gently deflected, "Junior Sister is pregnant, so it might not be very convenient."

Hey! I have arrived at General Manager Sheng's place!

In these six years, he has met Sheng Junshu twice, and this person always gives him a sense of "youth." This youthfulness is not limited to his dark hair and handsome features, but rather stems from the fact that a life of privilege often leads to lethargy, whereas he consistently exudes an uplifting, pine-like vitality.

Zhang Sen was overjoyed, reaching into the drawer and opening the gift box to catch a whiff of the aroma, nearly revealing his true nature.
