Chapter 580 - Looking for X!

Xiang Huai frowned. “I’m not old.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was fine to call him Boss usually, but why did he call him Old Boss?

He was only 25 years old and was at the prime of his life. Why did everyone call him old?

Usually, when he frowned, Jing Fei would definitely jump up and shout, “I’m so scared.” However, at this moment, Jing Fei could not be bothered to shout. He did not even care about Xiang Huai’s words. His fingers trembled as he pointed at the numbers on the monitor. “No, Boss. Hurry and look...”

Xiang Huai stood up and walked over. He saw that the numbers on the instrument were very unstable and were jumping between 2 to 20!

Jing Fei gulped. “What’s wrong with Sister Xi’s genes? The test paper went as high as it went low, and the equipment is also jumping around randomly. Is Sister Xi a 2 or 20?

“That’s not right. It’s impossible to reach 20. You can activate your superpower if you exceed 5. Your body is different from others. If she were at 20, Sister Xi would have long realized that she had a superpower. Moreover, who the hell can reach 20 in gene ratio after so many years?”

Genetic ratio was a percentage. Twenty percent was a terrifying number!

Jing Fei looked at Xiang Huai. “Boss, what’s your genetic score?”

Xiang Huai shot him a glance and did not speak. His eyes were still fixed on the instrument.

Meanwhile, Jing Fei was complaining by the side. “Boss, after your test paper was proven to be black and red, it was taken away by the International Association. Your data is confidential, but how high is it? It can’t be higher than 20, right?

“So, Sister Xi definitely doesn’t have 20. Is this device broken too?”

As Jing Fei said this, he patted the machine and looked at it again. The data on the machine was still jumping, as though it could not calm down.

Jing Fei simply took out Xue Xi’s blood sample, picked up the needle, and looked at his fingers. He gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and stabbed his index finger.

Just as the needle was about to touch his finger, Jing Fei stopped. “I’m so scared. It hurts too much.”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Huai picked up a book and patted the back of his hand.

“Ahhh!”

Jing Fei screamed, and from his finger, a drop of blood was slowly squeezed out. He was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes. “Boss, you’re too cruel! Why don’t you know how to be tender to a woman? I’m really scared!”

As he said this, he squeezed his blood onto the sample glass and stuffed it into the machine.

After a while, the machine made a crisp sound. Jing Fei took a look and the number 8 appeared on the display.

That’s right. Jing Fei’s genetic score was 8.

He stared at the instrument in confusion and placed the injured finger into his mouth. He mumbled, “Old Boss, this instrument isn’t broken.”

Xiang Huai nodded. “Who said that the device is broken?”

Jing Fei: “?”

He silently lowered his head and looked at the finger he had pulled out of his mouth. He then looked up at Xiang Huai. “Boss, what test did you want me to test if it’s not broken?”

Xiang Huai slowly replied, “Who asked you to do the test?”

Jing Fei: “?”

It seemed that he really came to test himself?

However...

Jing Fei looked at the instrument. “If the instrument isn’t damaged, why is Sister Xi’s genetic score like this? If the value can exceed 5, it means that Sister Xi has a special power. But what is Sister Xi’s special power? Other than studying, she doesn’t have any other abilities, right?”

Jing Fei’s eyes lit up. “I know! Sister Xi’s superpower is to study, right? Although she learns fast, what’s the use of this superpower?”

Xiang Huai: “...”

Jing Fei continued to be suspicious. Just as he was about to say something, Xiang Huai said, “Send her blood sample to the laboratory to see if there are any medicine in her blood that suppresses her superpower.”

Genetic scores could not be changed.

Even if she did not have her special power awakened, this thing was naturally born. However, Xue Xi’s heartbeat was clearly not right.

Jing Fei nodded. “Sure.”

He eagerly took Xue Xi’s blood and walked out.

Xiang Huai shot a glance at the long tube of blood and held it in. He could not help but ask, “Why did you draw so much blood?”

Didn’t that hurt the little kid?!

Moreover, there’s so much. It must be 50ml, right? How many meals did he have to accompany the little kid to before she could get that back? What a waste!

Jing Fei: “...Boss, it’s really amazing that you’re so biased. Who doesn’t have so much blood drawn when they enter the department? For all kinds of checks and tests, this bit of blood might not even be enough... Boss, don’t look at me like that. I’m so scared...”

After saying that, he ran out.

On the way to the laboratory, Jing Fei bumped into Zheng Zhi.

This person’s face was very dark. He was wearing a uniform, and when he walked, he seemed to have measured himself with a ruler.

Jing Fei pouted. “Son!”

Zheng Zhi frowned and did not intend to bother with him. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and asked, “Where is Xue Xi assigned in the special department?”

Their special department was part of the police department and had to be classified into different categories. Jing Fei was in charge of arresting criminals while Zheng Zhi was in charge of the court’s cases. There were also the laboratory and so on.

Jing Fei: “...Sister Xi is only a freshman. If you want her to contribute to the department, you have to wait until she comes here!”

Zheng Zhi sneered. “The special department doesn’t raise idlers! Don’t you know this rule? Or is it because she is Boss’s girlfriend that she has to be special?”

Jing Fei: “...Sister Xi has restored that video. I think she knows some computers. Why don’t we let her go to the Internet department?”

As someone with mechanical hands, Yu Da had been very thorough when destroying the video. It was impossible for ordinary people to recover it.

Unfortunately, these two only knew a little about computers and did not know how hard it was to recover videos. The Internet department restored data every day. To them, this was a very simple operation.

Zheng Zhi pouted. “She’s just an ordinary person. Why would she go to the Internet department just because she knows a little about computers? Our Internet department is full of computer geniuses with special abilities!”

Jing Fei: “...Then Sister Xi can only go to the library.”

Zheng Zhi sneered. “Then what do you want Old Li to do? Retire?”

Old Li used to be their teammate and was injured during a mission. However, he did not want to retire and was sent to the library.

Jing Fei was furious. “This won’t do, and that won’t do. What exactly do you want?”

Zheng Zhi frowned. “You should say this to her. This won’t do, and that won’t do either. If she doesn’t have any special abilities, what can she do?”

Jing Fei: “!!!”

Seeing that Jing Fei was about to flare up, Zheng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. “Forget it. Let her go to the Internet department to help out! Tell her that she’d better be obedient and not pretend to know what she’s doing. Be more humble!”

Jing Fei: “...”

Just as he was about to say something, someone from the Internet department rushed over and looked at Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi hurriedly asked, “Is it done?”

That person shook his head and sighed. “This framework is too complicated. We’ve built the framework, but the algorithms are also troublesome. Everyone is still working hard.”

Recently, everyone had been studying programming and planning to perfect the global esper tracking system.

Zheng Zhi frowned. “You can’t even do this?”

The person hurriedly said, “Computer programming is a very precise skill. I was wondering if you could help me invite a god.”

Zheng Zhi said, “Boss? That’s impossible. If you’re looking for Boss for such a small matter, how busy must Boss be?!”

That person waved his hand. “It’s not Boss. It’s another hacker called X! We looked at the interview record and realized that they actually hacked into our system. If it weren’t for Boss’s obstruction, X would have long managed to hack in. Moreover, Boss fought them to a draw. If we could summon X, we would definitely have twice the result with half the effort!”

Zheng Zhi was in charge of the judgment department. This system was ordered by their department to be developed by the Internet department. Hence, he had to be responsible for this matter.

Zheng Zhi frowned. “An ordinary person or an esper? What exactly is the news? Give me the person’s information. Don’t worry, even if I have to beg them, I’ll still invite them over!”

“I don’t know. I don’t know whether they’re a man or a woman either. I only know that that person is at Huaxia University.”

“Huaxia University?”

Zheng Zhi’s eyes flickered and he lowered his head. He sneered and looked at Jing Fei. “Give me Xue Xi’s number.”

Jing Fei took a step back warily and covered his phone. “What are you doing?”

Today was Friday.

Yu Da, Fang Fang, and the rest returned to school. Xue Xi did not follow them and simply returned home. She wanted to catch up on sleep. After all, she did not sleep last night and was too sleepy.

Just as she entered the house, she realized that Xue Sheng was about to leave. When he saw her, he was stunned. “Xixi, why are you back?”

Just as he said that, his arm was slapped. Ye Li placed her hands on her waist and chided, “Why can’t Xixi come back? This is her home!”

Xue Sheng: “...No, I meant, doesn’t she usually come back at night? Moreover, she didn’t ask Uncle Li to fetch her.”

Xue Xi stood at the entrance and changed her shoes as she said, “Oh, it’s fine. I’m sleepy, so I came back to sleep.”

Xue Sheng: “...”

Ye Li’s eyes lit up. “It’s good that you’re back! If you don’t skip classes in university, how can you still be called a university student? It’s best if the teachers gave you a punishment or asked you to call a parent. Then, I can go to school again.”

Xue Sheng: “...”

Xue Xi: “...”

Listening to Ye Li, Xue Xi first ate something before returning to her bedroom to sleep for the whole day. When she woke up, it was already five in the afternoon.

Looking at the familiar ceiling and feeling the darkness outside, Xue Xi felt as though she had returned to reality. Everything in the special department was like a dream.

At this moment, she received a call from Jing Fei. “Sister Xi, that old fogey, Zheng Zhi, wants you to find a person for him in Huaxia University. This is an absolute order from P9 to P4. According to the rules, he has the right to order you.”

The pigeon was indignant. “My son is making things difficult for you. Let me tell you, if you can’t complete this mission, he’ll be waiting to fire you. This person is too much! He doesn’t like you, so he’s looking for trouble within the rules and regulations. However, I can’t say anything. Sister Xi, why don’t you try to help look for this person? If you really can’t find them, don’t worry. As his father, I’ll definitely be responsible for my son and definitely ask my boss to crush him!”

Xue Xi paused and interrupted him. “...Who?”

Little Pigeon: “X.”

Xue Xi: “?”
