When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Intuition

Xiang Beifei sat in Lu Hong's office, observing the city's guardians coming and going outside. He liked to observe other people's systems.

Those who were able to work in the law enforcement team were required to have at least late-stage Qi-Controlling abilities, and they had to undergo multiple assessments. The talent of every Awakener started at R grade, with many being S grade.

Most of the Awakeners here had systems related to crime, such as the [R grade Sniper System], the [R grade Negotiation System], the incredibly fast [S grade Godspeed Guardian System], and there was even an old cop whose system was the [S grade Turn Back to the Shore System] as he sat drinking tea.

"I heard your son will experience the Awakening System next year. What's the most important thing in this world? Of course, it's family. Which father wouldn't be by their child's side on the day they awaken their system? If your son reached SSR next year, and you weren't there at his brightest moment, how sad he would be..."

The old cop was chatting with a handcuffed criminal. His tone was down-to-earth and heartfelt. Initially, the man was defiant, but somehow as they talked, his eyes reddened, and then he began to wipe away tears.

"Uncle, you are right, thank you. I never intended to commit fraud. I just... I just..."

"I understand, I understand. No one's perfect; who can be without fault?"

"Uncle, then I confess, can I get out this time next year?"

"Even if you can't get out, I must apply for a leave for you next year. How could you not be present when your own child experiences the Awakening System?"

"Okay, I confess, I confess."

The old cop patted the criminal gently, smiling amicably.

The man signed the confession with a guilty expression.

"Uncle Chang, thank you for your help."

A law enforcement officer said to the old cop.

"It's nothing. I should be off now."

The old cop stood up, crossed his hands behind his back, and leisurely walked away.

[You have persuaded a criminal to turn over a new leaf, Virtue Points +20]

This old cop's system belonged to the preaching and negotiating type, where he shared life philosophies and the dry contents of Tao Te Ching with criminals. However, many mentally unstable individuals couldn't resist his persuasion.

The old cop, named Chang Shan, was a very amiable old man. It seemed his position wasn't very high, yet he managed to connect well with many people. However, he possessed late-stage Meridian Opening capabilities!

A hidden master!

So far, Xiang Beifei had met two of the most powerful cultivators. One was Principal Li Nanxing, and the other was this old cop.

Xiang Beifei mused: if this old cop hadn't been working in the law enforcement team, he might have become a monk dedicating his life to universal salvation.

Or perhaps, he was a cop just to offer that salvation?

"Hey, Beifei, what are you doing here?"

Lu Zhiwei entered the office and immediately saw Xiang Beifei, who was looking around from the window.

"I came to see Uncle Lu."

Xiang Beifei had forgotten that Lu Zhiwei came here for her internship every day after school.

"What do you need my dad for?"

Lu Zhiwei casually threw her bag aside, then went to the water cooler, poured two cups of water, and handed one to Xiang Beifei.

"Something came up. He just left on a call, so I'm waiting for him here."

Xiang Beifei took the cup of water.

Lu Zhiwei pulled over a swivel chair, spun around twice, then stopped and gazed at Xiang Beifei as if pondering something.

"Is there something on my face?"

Xiang Beifei asked hesitantly.

"What happened at the parking lot yesterday? I can't remember anything. I asked my dad, but he didn't provide details, only mentioning that with your help, they caught Lai Wuying. How did you manage that?" Lu Zhiwei inquired.

"I saw the suspect, told Uncle Lu, and Uncle Lu caught him."

Xiang Beifei simply described the process.

Whoosh!

Lu Zhiwei pulled her office chair forward, stopping right in front of Xiang Beifei, leaning forward so close their noses nearly touched, her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she scrutinized Xiang Beifei.

"You're lying."

Lu Zhiwei declared.

This was the first time Xiang Beifei had been so close to a girl, he could almost smell the faint fragrance from Lu Zhiwei's hair.

Huh, it smells like Seabreeze shampoo.

The same brand as mine.

"How did you know I was lying?"

He leaned back a bit.

"Intuition."

However, Lu Zhiwei was relentless and leaned forward again, her long eyelashes almost flicking Xiang Beifei's hair.

That's weird.

"Don't come too close, we aren't familiar."

Xiang Beifei extended a finger and pressed it against Lu Zhiwei's nose, pushing her back.

"Oh, you're getting shy now."

Lu Zhiwei rolled her eyes and swatted Xiang Beifei's hand away.

Xiang Beifei smirked.

"Intuition tells me you're definitely hiding something from me."

Lu Zhiwei scratched her nose and said.

"You trust your intuition more than your logical reasoning skills?"

Xiang Beifei glanced at her system interface.

An 11% reasoning accuracy still shining brightly!

Lu Zhiwei spun around in her chair and said, "Yesterday when I got home, my dad looked strange, I remember him saying Lai Wuying was Chen Gang, but that doesn't make sense because Uncle Chen was clearly killed by Lai Wuying."

"Couldn't he have faked his death?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Faked his death?"

Lu Zhiwei, touching her chin and pondering, said, "Then how did you know Chen Gang was Lai Wuying? Lai Wuying knocked us all down, he appears and disappears like a ghost, even Xue Mo's cat is MIA, how did you spot him?"

"Lucky guess."

"Bullshit!"

Lu Zhiwei said, "I don't believe your luck is that good! Did you awaken some kind of good fortune system?"

Xiang Beifei shrugged nonchalantly.

"Be honest, what are you doing here today? To record last night's case?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

Xiang Beifei figured he couldn't keep it a secret any longer and said, "I came here to learn some combat skills from Uncle Lu."

"Learning to fight? Were you motivated after seeing my dad destroy the parking lot fighting someone yesterday?"

"Whatever you say."

"I can teach you."

Lu Zhiwei stood up, interlocked her fingers, and pressed down, her joints cracking loudly.

Xiang Beifei looked at Lu Zhiwei with disdain.

"Hey, what's with that look? My dad taught me my fighting skills," Lu Zhiwei said, hands on her hips.

"Then you're really good."

Xiang Beifei nodded perfunctorily.

He was not here solely to learn combat skills, he mainly wanted to find out how Lu Hong managed to produce flames with his punches.

Lu Zhiwei was becoming frustrated.

This jerk, still as troublesome as ever.

"Caught them, good! They were indeed hiding under the bridge pier!"

Just then, a loud voice came from outside; Lu Hong had returned. His team efficiently surrounded the culprits at Qiaohe Bridge pier, capturing the bank robbers all in one go, and the entire process took less than half an hour.

He was finally back.

Xiang Beifei stood up.
