If he didn’t help her vent her anger now, he’d be acting downright unbrotherly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll take this bounty. I’ll make sure the boss gets her sweet revenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After promising to help the Red-haired Woman get her revenge, Li Ang spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll wait at home. When the promotion exam starts, just call me, boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding with clear delight, the Red-haired Woman took a sip from the bottle of strong tea, then seemed to remember something and announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, how’s your relationship with Philia? Why don’t you have her move into Happiness Apartments too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My relationship with her… is just okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling how Philia had made it abundantly clear she didn’t want to team up with him, Li Ang mentally clicked his tongue, then replied irritably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Happiness Apartments isn’t mine to give out. If she wants to move in, fine—but while I don’t mind her living there, she’d probably hate being my neighbor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah~ Little Li Ang may be powerful, but he’s still too young~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Ang’s slightly awkward expression, the Red-haired Woman shook her head with a smile and gently reminded him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Philia is the last bloodline of the Kingdom of Corock. The Headquarters values her above all others. Until she marries and has children, they’ll use the Headquarters’ [Sundial Disk] and [Lunar Phase Mirror] to lock onto her location and monitor her status 24\u002F7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she stays with our division, even with me—the Zodiac Division Chief—stationed here, her residence will still be under heavy protection, constantly guarded against enemies like the King-Slaying Cult… you get what I mean, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I get what… oh! I get it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locking eyes with the Red-haired Woman, Li Ang paused, then his expression brightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Philia moved into Happiness Apartments, his younger siblings could piggyback on the Division’s “security”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the Water Bottle incident and the others, he’d already disrupted the King-Slaying Cult’s operations three times—he’d basically made them his mortal enemies. Who knew if they’d come for revenge or target his “weak points”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia, as the “Last of Corock,” would receive the highest level of protection. If Anna and the others living in Happiness Apartments could benefit from the Division’s round-the-clock surveillance, he’d truly have no worries left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… now that he thought about it, Philia wouldn’t be allowed to leave the capital. Even with her exceptional talent as a cleaner, her missions would be severely limited. So why was the boss going to such lengths to keep her here? Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. Thank you, boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me. Just do me a few small favors when you’ve got time~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at Li Ang’s grateful expression, the Red-haired Woman opened her drawer and pulled out a stack of forms, handing them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the application forms for anomalous object holders among the ‘Rebels.’ During your month-long trip, our division sent investigators to verify each person’s background. As their recommending officer, you need to sign these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing him a pen, the Red-haired Woman rummaged through her drawer again and pulled out several more forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the candidates Jerry uncovered—people with anomalous objects, and applicants this year who show potential to become cleaners. I need you to review them and see if they’re suitable for our division.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Ang take the forms with solemn focus, the Red-haired Woman apologized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Ang, you just returned from your mission in Corock. Normally, I’d give you a long vacation to rest properly—I shouldn’t be dumping this on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the Fallen Soul Black Abyss incident, the kingdom was contaminated by the Nightmare King’s descent, and the number of anomalous events tripled. We’re desperately short-staffed. Plus, that idiot sheep’s soul-reading ability is perfect for this kind of work, so I’ve got no choice but to trouble you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s no trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang shook his head at this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m on leave, but that doesn’t mean I won’t leave the house. After dropping Mei Lan Ni and the others off at school every day, I can spare some time to check on these people—it won’t take long…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, boss, if you’re truly stretched thin, I can come back to help. I’m going to take the exam soon anyway, so I can delay my rest and take my vacation all at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way! That’s completely different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Ang sincerely offer to cut his vacation short and return early, the Red-haired Woman felt a sudden tightness in her chest—as if someone had clenched her heart hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just take your damn vacation! Don’t come back early!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your cursed luck and that insane ability to attract disaster, if you came back to help, every mission rated at most Class One would escalate to Class Three or Four. You’d need to kill two Saint Spirits just to calm things down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your real use is to go on field ops with divisions ranked higher than ours—to cause… I mean, handle—abnormal events in their jurisdictions. These small, low-risk missions that anyone else could handle perfectly? Leave them to the new recruits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no. Rest properly. Just check the names on the list.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the Red-haired Woman rejected Li Ang’s offer, quickly gulped down some tea to steady herself, then calmly explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know the Nightmare King was killed shortly after his descent. So although the contamination spread widely, its depth is generally shallow. The recent events are all small-scale and low-risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What we’re lacking isn’t one person like you—it’s dozens of Level Three Cleaners who can travel across the kingdom to investigate and handle low-risk events. All you need to do is review the list, pick a few qualified candidates as ‘probationary cleaners,’ and that’s already a huge help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll check them as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not noticing the Red-haired Woman’s hidden thoughts, Li Ang nodded and accepted her request. He glanced toward the office door, then asked hesitantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, boss, Philia seems to resist interacting with me. How can we get her to agree to move into Happiness Apartments and be my neighbor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What Happiness Apartments? Isn’t that the Virgin Division’s designated staff housing?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1182,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fb52e2af50ceb6a1bd21ecce14134aa189dae63ffa51e8fb119379f36c61528b","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-992","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-990",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
