Messing with him a little should be fine...\" he reminded him. \"But you can’t do anything serious to him, kid. That would be a huge headache. His position in the Research Department is a Protective Talisman in its own right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got it. I’ll follow your lead,\" Su Chen agreed easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I can just get Qi Chuan to talk, things will be much simpler.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Su Chen wasn’t fixated on it, Fatty Sun breathed a sigh of relief. \"Well... go join your new colleagues. They should be getting back right about now. They just earned a collective honor, so it’s time for a celebration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a newly promoted Tier Two Professional, so I’ll trail you guys in secret to prevent any accidents,\" Fatty Sun said, his tone casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatty Sun led him downstairs to the Garrison Hall, a vast, open space spanning three floors. It was bustling with Inspector Guards, some returning from patrol, others preparing to head out, and the air hummed with a low, noisy din.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lounge 0512. Fatty Sun pushed the door open. The excited chatter within abruptly ceased, and several pairs of eyes shot in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Section Chief Sun...\" A man stood up. He was bare-chested, revealing numerous scars, and had a buzz cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Zhao, this is your new team member, Su Chen. Get to know him.\" Fatty Sun stepped aside, revealing Su Chen behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Chen, this is Zhao Xiong, your patrol captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xiong gave him a peculiar look, and the other six team members kept glancing over as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A nepotism hire.’ They had all gotten the notice yesterday and had initially grumbled about another freeloader joining their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, this morning, they had been mysteriously ordered to bust a black market den, and just as mysteriously, they had been awarded a Third-Class Group Merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smarter ones among them quickly realized it had all been tailor-made for the new guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a windfall, their resentment naturally vanished. In fact, they were even a little grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xiong, come with me for a moment.\" Fatty Sun called Zhao Xiong away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen, meanwhile, stayed behind to greet his new teammates: four men and two women. Aside from Zhao Xiong, none of them were Professionals, but they weren’t ordinary people either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lili, didn’t you say you were going to repay this favor with your body?\" someone teased, looking at a woman in a crop top. She had tanned skin and well-defined muscles from years of rigorous training. With her shoulder-length hair, she was quite attractive, exuding a valiant and spirited air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey handsome, interested?\" she asked unabashedly, raising an eyebrow at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s enough,\" Zhao Xiong said, walking back in. His voice was grave. \"Pop-up overtime. Get your gear on. Assemble in five minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members were surprised, and a few of them glanced at Su Chen, realizing this was probably because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one said anything more. They just reopened their lockers and pulled out their gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Chen, your combat uniform hasn’t arrived yet. You’ll go without it today,\" Zhao Xiong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team was well-trained. They finished changing in four minutes, boarded the patrol vehicle, and headed for their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, what’s the mission?\" a large man with a scar on his face leaned in and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already introduced themselves earlier, so Su Chen knew his name was Han Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We received a tip that a location might be holding contraband,\" Zhao Xiong said, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Han Da pulled back, looking thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen watched the light outside gradually dim. ’I didn’t expect the target to be a Tier Two Professional,’ he thought. ’I just wonder what his specific level is.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, they finally reached their destination—a high-end apartment building. Their uniforms granted them immediate access, and they went straight up to the sixteenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inspector Guard?\" Qi Chuan opened the door. He had already seen Zhao Xiong and the others through the peephole and seemed a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only after opening the door that he noticed Su Chen standing off to the side. His expression shifted instantly. \"Su Chen? It’s you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Qi Chuan, we’ve received a tip and suspect you might be harboring contraband. We’re here under orders to investigate,\" Zhao Xiong said, his tone strictly professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contraband?\" Qi Chuan’s expression turned cold, and he stared intently at Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out of the way!\" Han Da tried to shove his way inside, pushing against Qi Chuan, but he was the one who ended up stumbling backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going to resist!?\" Han Da’s expression soured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step aside,\" Zhao Xiong said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen glanced at Fatty Sun, who was faintly visible at the end of the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chuan’s expression was grim. ’To think that a lowly refugee from back then can now throw his weight around like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew why they were here and what was about to happen, but there was nothing he could do. Helpless, he stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lili, the living room. Han Da, the bedroom...\" Zhao Xiong rapidly issued commands. The team dispersed while he remained in the living room, his eyes fixed on Qi Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk...\" Su Chen clicked his tongue and surveyed the room. It was spacious and tidy, with a large floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, a wedding photo of him and Jiang He hung on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and Teacher Jiang must be so deeply in love,\" Su Chen said with a sigh, standing before the wedding photo and stroking the image of Jiang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xiong’s mouth twitched. ’In another man’s house, caressing a photo of his wife... this is just...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles in Qi Chuan’s jaw jumped, but he remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen lowered his hand from the photo, his voice tinged with wistful longing. \"Your wife... she’s so *smooth*...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted in Qi Chuan’s pupils, and the temperature in the room shot up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xiong’s muscles tensed. Beside him, Lili, who had been pretending to search, stared wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it only lasted a moment. Qi Chuan reined himself in, his face once again becoming a blank mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because Fatty Sun had appeared at the door. His seemingly flabby body now radiated a terrifying aura, and the killing intent in his beady little eyes sent a chill down Qi Chuan’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s got some real self-control...’ Su Chen thought with a hint of regret. ’My status is different now. If Qi Chuan had actually attacked, it would have been assault on an Inspector Guard, a crime of a completely different nature.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fatty Sun would have been justified in killing him on the spot.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, I found it,\" Han Da announced, walking out of the bedroom. He was holding a small glass vial containing a beautiful pink flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An Opium Poppy. A hallucinogen and Level 1 contraband. I’m afraid you’ll have to come with us, sir,\" Zhao Xiong said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chuan seemed to have expected this. He just gave a cold sneer and held out his hands cooperatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Electromagnetic Shackles clicked shut. The group returned to the Inspectorate and tossed him into a temporary holding cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hmm, he’s a Tier Two Middle Professional—a Fire Refining Soldier...\" Zhao Xiong said, looking through the glass at the silent Qi Chuan before glancing down at a data file. \"His Profession development progress is... less than 5%...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Chen, at most we can hold him for seven days,\" Zhao Xiong said, looking at the young man beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Su Chen nodded. \"Can we starve him the whole time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to supply food. But he’s a Professional, so his nutritional needs are very high. We can provide low-nutrition meals, which is almost the same as starving him,\" Zhao Xiong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do that, then.\" With those words, Su Chen turned and left, deciding to come back in a few days for the interrogation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, what’s this rich kid playing at? This isn’t much of a punishment,\" Han Da sidled over and whispered conspiratorially. \"Want us to... spice things up a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just do what he said. Don’t take matters into your own hands,\" Zhao Xiong snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Da nodded sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1434,"2026-06-03T06:04:18.780Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2d39c1437084c4b2b1c653163b2a748d5c46ff2a9eeb449e6d16dd7c7569de9","my-professions-have-too-much-personality-chapter-40","my-professions-have-too-much-personality-chapter-38",370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-professions-have-too-much-personality-cover.jpg"]
