Chapter 382: Is Xu Mo

"Is there anyone willing to join Xu Mo's squad and work with him?"

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, the officers started bubbling with enthusiasm, each more eager than the last, all shouting that they wanted to join Xu Mo's team.

For a moment, the Police Station was as lively as a wet market, something Han Fei never expected.

Originally, he was worried the officers would think Xu Mo was a rookie and thus not want to work under him.

But who could have imagined… such a scene! Everyone scrambling to go—how is that even possible?

Han Fei was at a loss.

If only five or six officers wanted to go, that would suit Han Fei perfectly; he could just hand those five or six over to Xu Mo without any trouble.

But right now every officer wants to work under Xu Mo, and their morale is unusually high; Han Fei was stunned, wondering how to allocate them—one squad can't hold that many!

The most outrageous part was that among the officers clamoring to join Xu Mo's team were already‑established squad leaders…

"Han Team, I'm stepping down as Team One's squad leader; please approve, I want to join Xu Mo's squad!"

"Han Team, I made a mistake last week—I was a minute late to work! You didn't punish me, but I feel guilty, so I voluntarily demote myself, give up the squad leader post, and ask you to let me join Xu Mo's team!"

"Han Team, I feel my performance has slipped lately; I can't continue leading Team Three…"

"..."

Han Fei:???

Is Xu Mo's charisma really that strong?

The other officers just want to hang out with Xu Mo, and that's fine.

What are you squad leaders doing here for a fuss!?

One after another, the squad leaders quitting? Just want to hang with Xu Mo??

And that voluntary demotion reason is just plain nonsense!

Being a minute late—what the heck? It's just a minute; late is late! Since when does our Police Station enforce such strict rules? Demote for a minute's tardiness!?

Even Han Fei never imagined that his officers would, without realizing it, all become little fans of Xu Mo.

Moreover, Han Fei felt that if this trend continued, even he, as Criminal Investigation Chief, wouldn't be needed; everyone wants to hang with Xu Mo, so he might as well hand the position over to Xu Mo!

While Han Fei was stunned, the situation grew even more chaotic.

To impress Xu Mo and join his team, the officers began touting their own strengths.

"Squad Leader, pick me! I'm super tough, I know the Qinna Technique, my stamina's great, chasing and capturing are a breeze!"

"No, what's the point of being strong? For us officers, logical ability in investigations is most important. Squad Leader, pick me, I can definitely help you!"

"Pick me, Squad Leader! My reconnaissance and counter‑recon skills are strong, I can truly help you!"

"..."

Now not only Han Fei, even Xu Mo felt at a loss; he never expected so many people to want to join his squad.

That said, although Xu Mo is strong in many ways, it's unlikely he alone could make every officer in the Police Station so eager to join his squad; it's probably due to the System Reward's bonuses to team cohesion and personal charisma.

This time the system's reward is ridiculously powerful!

After the officers had been noisy for a while, the now composed Han Fei finally spoke.

"Enough, stop the noise! I'll handle the assignments."

Han Fei first wore a stern face and glared at the other squad leaders.

"You who are already squad leaders, stop crowding in; just do your jobs as leaders. Isn't that absurd? Huh? You abandon the teams you built yourself?"

"In this case… Team One has too many members; split two of them into Xu Mo's team. Da Chuan, Lao Zhou, you two should leave Team One and follow Xu Mo."

"Also Li Chen, you go to Xu Mo's squad, and Xiao Zhang… With Xu Mo and Chen Ke, your Team Seven now has six members. We'll keep it like this for now; any new recruits to the Police Station will be merged directly into Team Seven."

In no time, Han Fei had assigned the few members to join Team Seven.

Although Team Seven's numbers are still a bit low, it's no big deal; when new recruits join the Police Station later, we can just slot them into Xu Mo's Team Seven.

The few selected by Han Fei to join Team Seven were overjoyed, faces beaming with unstoppable smiles; those not chosen wore a sour, bitter expression.

Joy… Bang! It's gone!

They have no idea why they want to join Xu Mo's team; it feels as if some unseen force is pulling them, an itch in their hearts!

"Anyone have questions?" After assigning the members to Team Seven, Han Fei scanned the crowd in the Police Station.

At that moment, an officer raised a hand and spoke timidly.

"Han Team, you just said that future newcomers to the Police Station can directly enter Team Seven?"

"Hmm, what's wrong with that?" Han Fei nodded.

"No, nothing wrong!" the officer scratched his head, stammering, "So, Han Team… if I resign now and reapply, would I be considered a newcomer?"

Resigning and then reapplying—does that count as a newcomer? What a ridiculous question! Han Fei was a bit stunned.

But he quickly caught on.

"You little brat, are you glitching the system here??"

Han Fei squinted, and a murderous aura surged for a moment.

"I just remembered I still have some unfinished work, Han Team, I'm off to handle it!" The officer who asked the question, feeling the stare of Han Fei, shrank his neck and pretended to be scared.

Han Fei raised his right hand, mimicking a punch; the officer, seeing that, slipped away like oil under his feet and hurried back to his desk.

After that, the office space was reorganized; the newly formed Team Seven was allocated its own area, and everyone moved to new desks.

The rest of the day no incident calls came in, and the officers spent the day half busy, half idle.

Five o'clock, quitting time arrived.

After work, Xu Mo called the members of Team Seven, planning a dinner that night; after all, today marked the founding of their Team Seven, worth commemorating.

"Let's eat at that big street stall we often go to; it's cheap and tasty," Chen Ke suggested.

The officers had no objections, all nodding in agreement.

However, Xu Mo declined Chen Ke's suggestion.

Team Seven was formed today; this is a day worth commemorating. As the Team Leader, Xu Mo, for the first gathering, he actually took everyone to eat at a street food stall—what kind of talk is that?

If this gets passed to the other squad members' ears, they'll think Xu Mo can't afford to treat!

We must eat well, we must eat well!

Not eating at a street stall—today is a good day; let's go have a seafood feast, I'll treat.
