Free Web NovelHua Xieyu was not only a tea ceremony master who deeply understood the psychology of most men, but she had also adopted so many homeless children, that she also had a thorough understanding of children's minds.
Therefore, her plan to trick Xiao Pang Duner into sneaking into the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration to help her investigate was very successful.
Hua Xieyu only took less than ten minutes to completely fool Xiao Pang Duner. Holding the small fish Hua Xieyu had caught for him in his hand, and looking forward to the snacks Hua Xieyu had promised to buy him, as well as the outfit from a certain children's game, he excitedly ran into the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration.
However, precisely because her plan was too successful, she was arrested.
The moment Xiao Pang Duner snuck into the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, over a dozen pairs of eyes in the dark locked onto him.
However, the Elder brothers of the Special Operations Team led by Qi Dong did not immediately show up to chase Xiao Pang Duner away.
Not only did they not chase him away, but they also watched him wander around the small garden for a few laps, and successfully traded the small fish Hua Xieyu had caught for him from a Gu Niang for half a bag of corn crisps.
Then,
As he was leaving, Qi Dong also found a Special Operations Team member with a relatively gentle appearance and voice, took a Mourning Crow Badge, and gave it to Xiao Pang Duner, asking him to pass it to the Older sister who let him in.
Thus, Xiao Pang Duner happily ended his one-hour tour of the Hua City Si Ye Hui, and handed the 'Hua City Si Ye Hui Special Operations Team Detention Room Admission Ticket' to Hua Xieyu.
"Sister, Sister, inside is just an ordinary small garden! There's also a very strange Sister inside, squatting in the grass with an umbrella, like she's pretending to be a mushroom, haha!"
"Oh, right, right, there's also a very gentle Elder brother who asked me to give this to you!"
Xiao Pang Duner said proudly, handing the Mourning Crow Badge to Hua Xieyu, then looked at her with a face full of anticipation, quietly waiting for his future mother-in-law to fulfill her promise.
A very gentle Elder brother? Could he be referring to Lu Yibei? Where is he gentle? Hua Xieyu thought playfully, extending her hand carelessly; opening her palm in front of Xiao Pang Duner.
The item Xiao Pang Duner handed over felt slightly cool to the touch, seemingly a metal product. Hua Xieyu brought it closer, slowly opening her fingers.
When she clearly saw the silver duck-shaped badge lying in her palm, she felt completely numb, her pupils trembled, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
Although she was just a petty thief from Xiang Niangzi Cave in Liming City with a low Spiritual Energy fluctuation level, and hadn't heard of many large Psychic organizations, she was still clear about the existence of the Night Watch.
In fact, when doing shady business in Liming City, besides worrying about being double-crossed, the only other thing to worry about was being caught by the Night Watch.
Although the number of urban legend incidents and Psychic attacks occurring daily in Liming City was more than ten times that of an ordinary city, and the Night Watch members in Liming City were somewhat passive and lazy, being caught was a low-probability event.
After all, they were willing but unable. It was already a great effort and achievement for them to ensure they could survive in Liming City and not be corrupted by the local atmosphere.
But precisely because of this, once they committed a crime and fell into the hands of the Liming City Night Watch, they were almost always dealt with severely, facing life imprisonment.
Therefore, Psychic who had long made a living around Liming City had a higher level of understanding of the various characteristics of Night Watch members and Special Operations Team members than in any other city.
When she recognized the little item in her palm as the unique Mourning Crow Badge of the Night Watch, Hua Xieyu suddenly felt an urge to cry.
She originally thought this was just a pig-butchering scam, who knew it would involve the Night Watch?
This feeling was like those drug mules often seen on the border of Liming City, who were tricked into smuggling addictive substances, only realizing what kind of hellish stuff was in their bags when they got caught.
I was completely tricked by that damn wage {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} slave!
Lu Yibei has a Night Watch background, such important information, and he didn't tell me?
Isn't this clearly setting me up?
Hua Xieyu cursed fiercely in her heart, glanced left and right, and subtly placed a hand on Xiao Pang Duner's head, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Meanwhile, inside the Hua City Si Ye Hui surveillance center.
The Elder brothers of the Special Operations Team, seeing Hua Xieyu's actions through the surveillance screen, almost simultaneously stood up from their chairs, their breathing slightly stagnant.
"Void! She's going to abduct that child and escape!" a Special Operations Team member couldn't help but exclaim.
"What are you yelling about?" Qi Dong glared fiercely at the Special Operations Team member and said in a deep voice, "Which eye of yours saw her trying to abduct that child?"
The Special Operations Team member looked at Qi Dong, then looked at Hua Xieyu on the surveillance screen, hesitating to speak.
"She won't abduct that child," Qi Dong said, staring intently at the surveillance screen, "How many times have I told you? Don't treat all Psychic as potential criminals."
As soon as Qi Dong finished speaking, a scene appeared on the surveillance screen that surprised all the Special Operations Team members.
Damn it, not only am I going to be invited for tea by the Night Watch, but I also have to buy things for this fat kid. This business trip has really cost me my underwear!
Hua Xieyu thought gloomily, rubbing Xiao Pang Duner's head as if kneading a ball, while leading him towards the small supermarket not far away.
Arriving at the entrance of the small supermarket, Hua Xieyu gently patted Xiao Pang Duner's head and said, "Brat, wait for Sister here, okay? I'm going in to buy you snacks."
"Okay, okay, remember to buy potato chips and old-fashioned yogurt!"
"Got it, got it, you're annoying!" Hua Xieyu complained, walking into the small supermarket. Soon after, she came out carrying large and small bags of snacks.
She really fulfilled her promise to Xiao Pang Duner.
Walking out of the small shop, Hua Xieyu patted Xiao Pang Duner's shoulder and said, "I've bought you snacks and game outfits. Sister has something to do today, so I have to leave first. I won't play with you anymore!"
"Alright, go home early, okay? Next time there's a chance, Sister will play with you again!"
"No buts!" Hua Xieyu pouted, put her hands on her hips, and feigned anger, "Greedy, Sister will get angry!"
"Don't be angry, I'm leaving now!" Xiao Pang Duner said, waving his hand, "But, before I go, I have a small request."
"A request? What else do you want to buy?" Hua Xieyu asked, frowning.
"No, no!" Xiao Pang Duner explained repeatedly, "I mean, can I call you mother-in-law from now on?"
Hua Xieyu, "???"
I already felt your gaze on me was strange just now, and I was wondering if you were coveting my beauty. Who knew you were having such hellish thoughts?
Brat, I don't even know if I'll have a son or a daughter in the future, and you're already thinking about it so early?

Qi Dong, and the Special Operations Team members, "Holy crap? This Xiao Pang Duner, he has a future!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
A moment later, seeing Hua Xieyu sitting alone on a stone pier by the street after sending Xiao Pang Duner away on the surveillance screen, Qi Dong raised an eyebrow, turned to a Special Operations Team member, and said, "Go! Take two brothers, bring her in and ask about the situation. Be friendly."
"Understood, Void, we'll go now."
On Peony Street.
After refusing Xiao Pang Duner's unreasonable request without hesitation and sending him away, Hua Xieyu watched his chubby back recede into the distance; she silently sighed, "Guess the Night Watch people should be here by now?"
The moment she saw that Mourning Crow Badge, she had already given up on escaping.
Run? Who do you think you are? If the Night Watch is after you, can you escape!?
Admitting mistakes but never correcting them, that's Sister Hua's style.
At times like this, the more flustered you are, and the more fiercely you resist, the worse your outcome will be. Only by responding calmly is there a chance to get lenient treatment.
It's like when I was a kid and got caught by the police with those guys, I could leave after two or three days, while those 'refusing to submit' idiots had to be locked up all night.
Hope the fake identity that damn wage slave forged is reliable and won't be exposed? Otherwise, things will be even more troublesome.
But then again, that's the Night Watch, is it really possible to bluff my way through? Hua Xieyu thought restlessly.
However, although she had given up on escaping, she hadn't given up on getting angry. While waiting for the Night Watch people to appear and take her away, she picked up her phone, found the contact information for her liaison and that man, and unleashed a full-blown, violent barrage of insults. Each person received hundreds of characters of obscenities, none of which were repeated.
Putting down her phone and glancing at the empty street, Hua Xieyu sighed again, "This time I'm really unlucky. It's practically paying to squat in jail. Had I known earlier, I might as well have really kidnapped that little fat kid and held him hostage."
She said that, but she had never actually entertained that thought.
In fact, in a hellhole like Liming City, if Hua Xieyu didn't work as a swindler or thief, but went into human trafficking instead, it would be completely possible for her to get rich.
However, as a petty thief, she also had her bottom line.
She would absolutely not do something so immoral that it could destroy a complete family; she hadn't even planned to deceive Xiao Pang Duner.
As someone who had been deceived countless times since childhood, Hua Xieyu knew very well what kind of harm lies could inflict on a child.
She genuinely intended to buy snacks and game outfits for Xiao Pang Duner after he successfully completed the task.
She never lies to children!
Except for children,
Lie! You can lie to anyone!
A few minutes later.
Several burly men in black walked out from the shadows, approaching from four directions, blocking Hua Xieyu's path.
"Miss Yu Jianqiu, could you please come with us? Don't worry, we mean no harm and won't hurt you. We also hope you will cooperate with our work."
Hearing this, Hua Xieyu's body went limp, her face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the stone pier by the roadside. She clearly looked like an innocent young girl who had suddenly been surrounded by burly men of unknown origin and was scared stiff.
Thus, she was carried into the Special Operations Team's small dark room by a few Elder brothers from the Special Operations Team, as if they were lifting a chick infected with chicken pox.
Special Operations Team Small Dark Room.
This was a square small room, about fifteen square meters, with solidified Spells drawn on the walls to suppress Spiritual Energy fluctuations. The room had no windows and the lights weren't on, so the light was dim.
Standing inside, Hua Xieyu didn't even notice when the small door beside her opened, or when the fully armed burly man came to her side, until that voice, which sounded somewhat familiar, rang out beside her ear.
"Miss Hua, truly worthy of being from Xiang Niangzi Cave, your level of cursing is absolutely outstanding."
Miss Hua, Xiang Niangzi Cave... Hearing these two keywords, Hua Xieyu's pupils suddenly dilated in shock. Her pale, slender fingers clenched the edge of the chair tightly, until her knuckles turned white.
No, there wasn't even an interrogation, and my identity was exposed directly? The Night Watch didn't even...
Wait! Something seems off?
After a brief moment of shock, Hua Xieyu suddenly thought that no matter how capable the Night Watch was, they shouldn't be able to know about her 'little essay' cursing incident so quickly, unless... The person talking to me isn't from the Night Watch!
Thinking this, Hua Xieyu glanced to the side and saw a 'familiar' face. She was certain she had never seen the burly man squatting beside her at this moment.
However, although the burly man's face was unfamiliar to her, it exuded a familiar aura. Heavy dark circles under his eyes, listless spirit, pale complexion, and that air between his brows, as if he had lost interest in everything in this world, that numb aura.
There is a word called'spiritual resemblance', which refers to similarity in demeanor, expression, or spiritual essence. And this burly man in front of her was highly spiritually similar to that damn wage slave who caused her to be locked in the small dark room.
As if sensing the surprise in Hua Xieyu's heart, the burly man spoke, "That's right, it's me. I'm the one you called more disgusting than the pop-up ads in the middle of a movie."
Instantly, Hua Xieyu's eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit half a Zhenwu Mountain specialty raw melon seed, "How did you..."
"Shush!" The man interrupted, "Don't talk, just listen to me."
"First, I'm sorry for not telling you about Lu Yibei's Night Watch background beforehand, which caused you to be caught here, but I hope you understand, this is also part of the plan."
"Secondly, please be sure to trust the information I gave you and pretend to be Yu Jianqiu. Only then can you leave here safely."
"Alright, you can ask questions now. You have about one minute."
That forged identity could actually deceive the Night Watch? Hua Xieyu was secretly startled, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she asked in a serious tone, "One question, that guy Lu Yibei, besides his Night Watch background, doesn't have any other hidden identities, right?"
The man was silent for two seconds and said, "No."
It's best if he doesn't! It doesn't matter if he does, anyway, just the Night Watch background is enough for me not to mess with. Hua Xieyu nodded doubtfully, then opened her mouth, about to ask how the man had infiltrated the Night Watch.
Just then, the light in the small dark room suddenly turned on.
"Click—!"
Along with a soft sound, intense light shone on Hua Xieyu's face, blurring her vision. In a daze, she glanced sideways out of the corner of her eye and was startled to find that the burly man who had just spoken to her had vanished, as if he had never appeared.
Immediately after, before Hua Xieyu could recover, a cold voice suddenly came from the direction of the strong light.
"Name?"
