The young man looked at her through the gaps between his fingers.

The young girl sitting on the cushion was pretty and adorable. She had turned 17 years old that year, but she had a totally different destiny than him. She had a family and… two brothers.

"Fu Zhi." The young man covered his face with the pink bunny plushie and asked, "Will you miss me when I'm gone?"

"Huh?"

He started speaking out loud, but his voice was getting weaker and weaker with every passing second. After Fu Zhi put all her clothes in her luggage, she turned her head around and fixed her eyes on the pink bunny plushie.

"Where are you going?" Fu Zhi asked. "I will come with you."

He wanted to tell her that he would not come back again if he left.

"Who knows," Ye Jiu said. He felt that it was not him talking right now. Instead, he had a feeling that he was talking through someone else's body. "I need to have my own life."

Fu Zhi was stunned.

Ye Jiu turned his body sideways, his back facing Fu Zhi. Perhaps he was not willing to be separated from Fu Zhi so soon, as he sent a text message to the international crime unit.

He wanted to go to Myanmar with her before the end of this month.

Ye Jiu turned off his phone after he sent the text message. After a short while, he calmed himself down and said, "Never mind, forget about what I said. I will go to Myanmar with you. I don't have much money left, so nobody is going to buy milk tea for me if I don't go with you."

Fu Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling and touched her bank card in her pocket.

Ye Jiu heard something and got up from the bed. He had left the top two buttons on his collar open, and one could see his fair skin beneath his clothes.

He squinted his eyes and stuck his hand into Fu Zhi's pocket.

Smack!

Ye Jiu withdrew his hand. The back of his hand was slowly turning red, and he stared at Fu Zhi incredulously. He could not believe that she still wanted to hit him even though he was already so sad. That said, there was nothing he could do, as he was too weak to fight with Fu Zhi right now.

Thus, he used another approach and said, "You are so mean, my sweet little Zhizhi."

He licked his lips and threw himself into Fu Zhi's embrace. Then, he rubbed Fu Zhi's shoulder with the tip of his nose like a dog before wrapping his arm around her waist and saying, his eyes glowing, "You're so beautiful, so you must not be so scary."

Fu Zhi looked at him and raised her hand.

Smack!

Ye Jiu: "Ouch!"

Fu Zhi nearly broke the hand that he'd secretly snuck into her pocket.

"Fu Zhi!" Ye Jiu snarled. "How dare you!"

Fu Zhi then expressionlessly put her bank card into her palm.

He could say anything he wanted about her, but if he tried to cheat her out of her money, there would only be one end for him: death!

Meanwhile, in a certain base in Country M...

There was a big red table in the center of the dimly lit conference room. The purplish screen roller blinds were rustling and dancing along with the cold wind that entered through the half-open door and window.

There was no sound in the conference room until a mechanical voice rang out.

The door opened, and the light in the conference room was turned on by a fair-skinned hand.

The man who turned on the light took a seat first. Then, several men with the same mask appeared and took their seats in turn.

There were five of them, and they were the captains and core members of the crime unit.

Sitting at the head of the table was the captain of the 2nd division. His voice sounded hoarse through the voice changer, but considering his physique, he seemed to be a man in his thirties. He scanned the room and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"That's a funny question. Have you ever seen all of us present at the same time?" The man sitting next to him chuckled.

"That's a funny question. Have you ever seen all of us present at the same time? No, right?" The man sitting next to him chuckled, his fox mask glinting coldly under the light. "We can leave out the former captain of the 7th division since he's working on a mission right now, but the former captain of the 1st division… I have never seen him attend any of our meetings before, and he has not taken on a mission since he took over the 1st division."

"Well, maybe he's busy or he knows he can't handle any of the missions. After all, according to the rumors, he became the captain of the 1st division because he knows a higher-up there."

"Captain of the 4th division, it seems like you're not very happy about him being the captain of the 1st division, huh? Why don't you appeal to the top and have them remove him from his position?" the captain of the 5th division suggested as he played with the lighter in his hand.

The captain of the 4th division was stunned.

Although the former captain of the 1st division was useless, they all knew that he was the illegitimate child of their boss. Therefore, there was nothing they could do about it.

Besides, the crime unit had scouted a lot of new blood recently, and all of them were very capable. One of them had even managed to take over the 1st division and become the new captain.

It was just that their boss had opened up a new division known as the 8th division for the former captain of the 1st division. Since it was a newly-established division, it had only a few members, not to mention that most of them were unwanted members from other divisions, so nobody actually cared about them.

The captain of the 4th division then said, "I'm just stating facts. All eight divisions in the crime unit are a team, so don't slander me, captain of the 5th division."

The captain of the 5th division shrugged, and just as he was about to say something, the man sitting at the head of the table knocked on the table, successfully drawing everyone's attention.

"There are two things I want to talk about today," the captain of the 2nd division said. "Ye Jiu has agreed to the human experiment, but before that happens, he's going to Myanmar. Therefore, we have to send two teams to pick him up from Myanmar."

Two teams to pick up one man?

Everyone in the conference room was confused.

"Ye Jiu is just a failed experiment subject. You're being paranoid, captain of the 2nd division," the captain of the 5th division chimed in. "Don't you think it'd be a bit of a waste to send two teams to pick Ye Jiu up from Myanmar?"

"Not only Ye Jiu," the captain of the 2nd division replied. He took the remote control from the table and pressed a button.

The light in the conference room dimmed, and a muscular man appeared on the big screen.

"This man is Matthew. He's from Country M, but his parents are from Myanmar. He's the mastermind behind the famous serial murder case Equinox Flower. He likes to drink milk tea and he's the king of drag racing in Country M. For the past two years, many international organizations have been trying to find a way to capture him and his accomplice, Anmisu.

"Two days ago, Anmisu was caught in Myanmar, and the local government has confirmed that Matthew is in Myanmar as well. Therefore, they sent a message to us, hoping to get support. They want to draw out Matthew and bring him to justice."

The Equinox Flower case was the most sensational serial murder case across the globe. It was so serious it had caused panic everywhere. Besides, Matthew had been a high-profile person. He feared none of the international organizations and he'd even had the audacity to buy milk tea several times in public.

Just like him, his group of subordinates was also a bunch of outlaws who feared nothing.

The captain of the 3rd division took a look at the document in his hand and said, "There was a total of nine participants in Equinox Flower. Other than Matthew and Anmisu, among the other seven, two were put to death on the spot for kidnapping Lu Yu'an, the grandson of the Zhou Family, while the other five were executed by firing squad. Anmisu was just caught in Myanmar, so that means there's only one person left. However, that is also the hardest and trickiest person to deal with."

Many international organizations had tried to capture Matthew, but he was always able to get away from them by using his wits. Of course, the International Crime Unit had dealt with him before, but they could do nothing about him either.

The captains' faces sank.

"In my opinion..." The captain of the 3rd division continued. "Matthew will attempt to rescue Anmisu during the car race, so we just need to make all necessary preparations and wait for him to jump into our trap.

"As I remember, our organization doesn't have an expert car racer, right?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, racing was just a competition. However, for these outlaws, it was the best opportunity to commit crimes.

The captain of the 4th division frowned and said, "We need a better plan."

"There will be a racing competition in Myanmar in a week. At the time, the top car racers from around the globe will be gathered there. This time, the 4th division and the 5th division will work together on this mission. When you guys get there, look for three or four expert racers to help you with the mission."

In the hall of No.1 High School...

Qian Man had yet to show up even though it was his turn to teach now. Other than the students from the three classes, the hall was also filled with students from other classes.

Everyone suspected that this was because Hu Lei refused to forgive Fu Zhi, and now Qian Man was angry with them as well. That was why he had not come to the hall for the extra class.

Very soon, someone from Class 1 told Qian Wenrui the news. Just as Qian Wenrui was about to go to the office to reprimand Fu Zhi, she bumped into Hu Lei in the corridor.

Qian Wenrui came to an abrupt stop and then saw Hu Lei walk into the hall. There was still a stern expression on Hu Lei's face, but the anger in his eyes was nowhere to be seen.

Qian Wenrui, who was dumbfounded, followed him. Through the window, she saw that after Hu Lei took his textbook out, he bowed before the students below the stage.

Besides Qian Wenrui, the group of students was bewildered as well.

Song Fang did not know what had gotten into Hu Lei's head, but he knew he should return the courtesy. Therefore, he hollered at his friends to stand up and bow back to Hu Lei. "Although we know you want to apologize to us, I don't think you have to bow to us."

Hu Lei did not know what he should say. He took a deep breath, pinched the spot between his brows, and said, "It's my fault for going too deep into the mechanical heart. Besides, I should have stuck to your syllabus instead of teaching you guys something extra. This is all my fault. Fu Zhi was kind enough to point out my mistake, but I refused to listen to her. Only if I were more open-minded, none of this would have happened. In any case, I should be apologizing to all of you, and you guys definitely deserve my bow."

The crowd was stunned.

'Well, although we shouldn't question you since you're our temporary teacher and a professor, you're the one who said you would rather die than teach us, so doesn't your face hurt from reneging on your word?'

Hu Lei did not care what the students thought of him. He believed that as long as he acted as if nothing had happened before, they would not dare say anything either.

"Alright then. Let's get back to our lesson. Please flip to page 69. I will repeat everything. As for Professor Qian's session, it will be postponed to a later date."

In any case, the first thing he should do right now was do his job right by teaching these students so that he could swim in a sea of knowledge with Fu Zhi later.

Hu Lei was a man of his word. He had said that he would repeat everything to them, and he indeed repeated every single thing in the textbook to them.

All the students kept their heads low as they jotted down everything he said.

Outside the hall, Qian Wenrui was so infuriated that her face had turned pale. She stamped her feet and stormed back to the office.

When she was in the office, she smacked her document on the table, causing Xu Tongtong and Xiang Yusheng to jump up in fright.

"Didn't you guys say that Professor Hu refused to continue the lesson?" Qian Wenrui asked, her voice thick with rage.

Xiang Yusheng had not expected this sudden turn of events either. He said, "That's what I heard. It's Professor Hu who said that he would rather die than continue the session with them."

Then, Xu Tongtong chimed in, "Professor Hu is an expert mathematician. His Mathematics knowledge is unparalleled by any of his peers, so there's no way he could be wrong. It's Fu Zhi who spoke nonsense and offended him!"

"Just now, Professor Hu said in the hall that Fu Zhi's right and there was nothing wrong with her argument!" Qian Wenrui said. "Anyway, I hope you guys can separate fake news from the truth in the future. Don't come to me unless you're certain of something, you hear me?"

In the meantime, inside the 5-star hotel of Yu City...

By the time Wu Zhiheng arrived, Ouyang Ya was discussing her firearm design with a team of experts.

"Ms. Ouyang, I have something to tell you."

The team of experts looked at Wu Zhiheng.

Ouyang Ya rose from the chair and nodded at Wu Zhiheng.

Then, both of them exited the room and walked around a corner.

"What's the matter?" Ouyang Ya asked. She did not know what Wu Zhiheng had come here for. Did he not need to attend classes? However, she did not ask him, as she found that she was in no place to ask him that kind of question although they were working together now.

"My friends told me that the principal of No.1 High School invited Professor He and Professor Hu to give extra classes to their students. They hope that you can speak to Mr. Ouyang and have them teach us as well after they finish their session with the students of No.1 High School."

"Professor He and Professor Hu?" Ouyang Ya frowned. She did not recall the Ouyang Family working with either of them before.

That said, considering Wu Zhiheng's sincere attitude, and since he was certain that it was Ouyang Feng who had invited Professor He and his team to No.1 High School, Ouyang Ya felt that she should do him this favor.

"Alright then. I will call Mr. Ouyang tomorrow," Ouyang Ya said. "By the way, aren't you departing for Myanmar the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

The Wu Family were experts at stone gambling. Since they were working together right now, Ouyang Ya asked, "Do you need me to send you some help?"

"I'll be fine, Ms. Ouyang. My father is a friend of Lucky Cloud Pavilion. Besides, we also found someone to contact the daughter of the owner of Lucky Cloud Pavilion, so we should be able to get a lot of favorable information."

However, there was one thing Wu Zhiheng was worried about. "Do you have any property in Myanmar, Ms. Ouyang? The place where my father is staying right now is not safe, and I'm worried about him."

After all, riots often took place on the street near Lucky Cloud Pavilion.

"I heard that the residential area on Mount Qiu Ling is the safest area in Myanmar. It's just that the villas there are private property and they have been vacant for many years. I wonder if Ms. Ouyang can find a way to contact the owner of the villas?"
