Chapter 40: Li Yiyun

At the dinner table they finally started eating, although Zhu Sihai was a bit sullen, but he didn't dare refuse.

Chen Ruhai's family members didn't show up, and it's unclear whether they really weren't there or Chen Ruhai didn't let them come out.

"Then I'll have to trouble Boss Chen with the Foundation matter."

Chen Shoushan smiled and said to Chen Ruhai behind him.

"I'll do my best."

Chen Ruhai said somewhat unnaturally.

After leaving the villa, Ye Feng finally spoke up: "Aren't you going to ask where his gang came from?"

"Only a few companies in China can achieve this, and I feel the weapons that appeared at Shangtong Building are related to them, but what does it have to do with us?"

Chen Shoushan said indifferently.

Over the next couple of days, Zhu Sihai eagerly went to meet the wealthy folks of Dahe City, while Chen Ruhai said he was busy arranging the Foundation's establishment and deliberately avoided going with Zhu Sihai.

Ding-ling ding-ling

Chen Shoushan's phone rang.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Chen? Your custom-made clothes are ready. Would you like to pick them up yourself, or shall we deliver them to you?"

A cool female voice came from the other end of the line.

Chen Shoushan then recalled that he had ordered a few pieces of clothing before going to Dachangshi, and the timing was about right.

"Alright, then please deliver them to the Dahe City Public Security Bureau."

Chen Shoushan sat in his office chair, thought for a moment, and said.

"Um, the Public Security Bureau? Okay."

Chen Qingjing on the other end of the line froze for a moment, but quickly replied.

Come to think of it, why hasn't my operator contacted me? Doesn't every person in charge have a dedicated operator?

After hanging up, Chen Shoushan suddenly wondered why his satellite phone had never rung.

He pulled the satellite phone out of the drawer, and Chen Shoushan discovered it hadn't been activated……

It turns out every new satellite phone must be activated before use, but Chen Shoushan had simply tossed his aside after receiving it.

Chen Shoushan had just manually activated the satellite phone, and within a few seconds it rang.

"Hello? Person-in-charge Chen, you're finally online!"

An excited, almost crying female voice came from the other end.

"Sorry, I've been busy lately."

Chen Shoushan said without changing his expression.

"No problem, no problem, as long as you're online."

The female voice on the phone composed herself and hurriedly said.

"I'm Li Yiyun, your dedicated operator. You can contact me about anything, and I'll report to headquarters."

Li Yiyun introduced herself.

"Sure, please take care of me."

Chen Shoushan said gently.

Li Yiyun had already prepared herself to talk to herself, after all she knew the Ghost Master's temperament was odd, so she didn't have high hopes for Chen Shoushan.

"Ah? Okay, okay."

Li Yiyun froze for a moment, then hurriedly replied.

"So polite? Is this still the Ghost Master?"

"Since there's nothing else, let's leave it at that."

Chen Shoushan waited a moment, seeing that Li Yiyun seemed to have nothing more to say, and was about to hang up.

"Wait, wait, there are a few more things: I need to record the ghost you command and your codename."

Li Yiyun hurriedly said, after finally getting in touch with Chen Shoushan, she needed to quickly sort out Chen Shoushan's file; she had already looked over Chen Shoushan's information, which said his mental condition was good and his morals were upright, but for some reason whenever it came to paranormal records it was completely blank, so she had to ask him herself.

"I command a ghost that can weaken the people around me."

Chen Shoushan didn't mind the leak of his information either, after all he wasn't limited to just one extraordinary ability.

"Alright, I'll note that down. What's your codename?"

The sound of Li Yiyun typing came from the other end.

"Just pick any codename you like."

Chen Shoushan couldn't be bothered to argue over such trivialities, so he left it to Li Yiyun to decide.

"Well… okay, by the way, a human-head balloon incident has occurred in ZS City; you need to be extra careful over there in Dahe City."

Because the Dahe City for which Chen Shoushan is responsible and the ZS City for which Tong Qian is responsible are geographically close, Li Yiyun specially reminded Chen Shoushan to prevent any paranormal incident in ZS City from spreading to Dahe City.

"Really? I'll pay attention."

Chen Shoushan replied thoughtfully.

"Alright, then there's nothing else for now,"

Li Yiyun pondered and said.

After ending the call with Chen Shoushan, Li Yiyun, somewhat troubled, grabbed her hair and muttered to herself: "What codename should I pick? Making others weak…… Got it!"

Li Yiyun had a flash of inspiration, wrote the two characters "Bitter Valley", and thus Chen Shoushan's codename was set: Bitter Valley Detective—Chen Shoushan!

At the same time, Chen Shoushan fell into contemplation: The human-head balloon incident? That seems like a plot point too; Yang Jian's Ghost Firewood Knife was also set in ZS City, right?

Chen Shoushan was thinking somewhat uncertainly, after all it really was quite a while back; just as he was pondering whether he could profit from this incident, the office door was knocked.

"Come in!"

A Public Security Officer walked in, saluted Chen Shoushan, and said: "Chief Chen, a lady has come outside saying she has your clothes and must have you sign for them."

Okay, let her come in!

Chen Shoushan nodded.

Eh, that couldn't be Director Chen's girlfriend, could it?

Looking at them, they really do seem quite well-matched.

She's pretty, but why do I feel she looks so familiar?

Hey, now that you say that, I also feel a bit familiar.

The Public Security Bureau officers in the lobby certainly wouldn't miss such juicy gossip, and they instinctively began to whisper among themselves.

WC, that isn't Chen Ruhai's daughter Chen Qingjing, is it?

A somewhat knowledgeable Public Security Bureau officer exclaimed in surprise.

Just as everyone was about to discuss it more enthusiastically, that officer finally came out: "Miss Chen, you may go in."

In an instant everyone fell silent; gossip is gossip, but everyone was still a bit intimidated by this young director—on his first day in office he had the Bureau Chief suspended, who wouldn't be afraid?

Phew~

Chen Qingjing secretly let out a breath of relief; she wasn't blind, so even if she couldn't hear the people's discussion, she could see their strange looks.

She thought Chen Shoushan was just an ordinary Public Security Bureau officer in the Bureau, but now it seems not to be the case.

Please have a seat, thank you for the trouble—I didn't expect such a small matter to require you to come in person.

Chen Shoushan in the office laughed and said.

No trouble, you're a major customer of our shop; it's only right for me to personally handle this.

Chen Qingjing responded without changing her expression; as for what she was thinking, only she herself knew.

Then I'll sign it.

Chen Shoushan picked up the pen without hesitation and signed directly.

Holy shit, it's not that I'm short; this chapter should have been 2500 words, but a section was deleted—the speculation about Chen Ruhai's background possibly from his social circle is gone.
