Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Funeral_1

A moment later, at the Law Enforcement Manor.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the memorial service was nearing its end, with law enforcers who had been familiar with the deceased each expressing their mourning.

The departure of their comrades made them more determined to combat crime. They promised to carry the will of the deceased, hoping one day to eradicate crime entirely and bring justice and peace back to the city.

Valerian listened through the screen as her colleagues expressed their longing and regret for her. Tears coursed uncontrollably in her eyes. When the normally stoic chief got on stage and began recalling her experiences in the crime analysis department in front of colleagues and reporters, she finally broke down and cried.

Not everyone had the opportunity to attend their own funeral.

She had heard her colleagues’ real opinions of her at her own funeral. Valerian had no idea that she, as an unremarkable member of the crime analysis department, had such a status in the heart of the old chief.

She wiped a tear from her eyes. When she looked at another person in the room, she saw that he had picked up the familiar booklet again.

"A Love Tip Every Day".

The reason she was able to attend her funeral was due to his arrangement.

Faking a death certificate at the hospital to escape the hunting of a professional assassin. After the law enforcers apprehended the assassin, she could return to her post and surprise her colleagues and the old chief.

At this moment, she finally believed that Director Lu was truly a good person—a good person who, when smiling, looked like an assassin.

As the leader of the law enforcement department in the 17th District, she made many arrangements just for a nobody like herself.

"Director Lu ..."

"Hmm?"

Lu Xiang gave Valerian a glance and turned a page in the book.

"What are you doing?"

"Studying."

The response was as expected.

In fact, when Lu Xiang was in the hospital room explaining his identity as a good person and the reason he laughed like a serial killer, he showed her the contents of the booklet.

Valerian finally realized what Lu Xiang was holding late into the night was merely a common love teaching manual, not a murder manual as she had imagined.

Director Lu was just using spare time in the evening, practicing gentle and charming smiles according to the instruction in the manual.

"Is Song Lan...your lover?"

Valerian, after a brief hesitation, asked the question she had wanted to ask while in the hospital. Each member of the crime analysis department had a strong curiosity, especially if the gossip was about Director Lu.

In her impression, Director Lu had never been so close to any woman. Yet that colleague named Song Lan had made a long trip to the hospital just to deliver some food to the director.

Just...

The disparity in status between the director of the Law Enforcement Department in the 17th District and an administrative staff member she barely remembered was too great. She could at least confirm that Song Lan did not work in an important department.

"Yes."

Lu Xiang did not deny it.

Ever since she confessed her feelings to Song Lan that day, she started self-study in love. However, the progression of the learning was quite slow, making her feel that this might be the most difficult course in the world.

Previously whether it was high-level mathematics, various regional dialects or even murder techniques, none of them had been so hard to grasp.

She had already learned much theoretical knowledge but her recent attempts had all ended in failure, making her feel as if she had been running in place all this time.

"Actually, love is not that difficult," Valerian said.

She might not be able to help in capturing the mysterious professional assassin, but she was quite experienced in matters about love, as she was a veteran with four romance experiences.

In her opinion, Lu Xiang had been putting her efforts in the wrong direction.

When Director Lu showed her the "A Love Tip Every Day" at the hospital, it was full of carefully noted entries by Lu Xiang. The densely packed small characters were proof enough that the director is a very serious person.

However, love should not be so rigid. The forced application of content from the manual could possibly generate adverse effects.

"Director Lu, you want Song Lan to ride a bicycle and take you home, right?"

Valerian saw Lu Xiang’s "work focus" and took it that she had benefited from her past failures. Lu Xiang was considering various potential complexities before executing her plan.

Like in case Song Lan falls off the bicycle all of a sudden;

A Mohican-headed thug pops up halfway home;

They come across an old lady in need of assistance while crossing a street;

A little girl’s pet dog suddenly breaks its leash and runs across the street;

Multiples criminals with over 500,000 in bounty suddenly attack the 17th District;

...

Even the scene where she asks Song Lan to take her home on his bike, Lu Xiang listed six or seven possibilities.

She had to admire Lu Xiang’s imagination. However, "Director, you’re overthinking it! All you have to do is wait for him after work, and everything will fall into place."

"Go on."

Lu Xiang closed the book and closed her eyes.

"The important thing is the following part."

According to her love experience, Valerian gave suggestions by extending her hands towards Lu Xiang and demonstrating, "The back of the bike shakes a lot, so you have to hold him like from behind. And, you can also lay your face on his back like this."

"But..."

Lu Xiang seemed doubtful, "What if he suddenly falls off?"

She considered her worry reasonable.

It happened with Song Lan before.

"Stop thinking about it!"

Valerian’s field of vision went dark, and she raised her voice without warning. She thought the director’s thought process was incredibly unique, "Generally, he shouldn’t fall off!"

"Oh."

Following that, both of them discussed about potential accidents while riding home, until someone knocked on the door of Lu Xiang’s office.

Lu Xiang signaled Valerian to keep quiet, left the hidden compartment, closed the door, and moved the bookshelf back into place, concealing the secret door.

Afterward, she unlocked and opened the office door.

A security guard from the lobbybro, stood at the entrance soaked in sweat, holding a parcel. It looked like he rushed over the first thing after receiving the parcel.

"Director Lu, someone sent this to you."

Even without opening the parcel completely, she could guess its contents.

Because on the parcel itself, there was "Report letter" written in large characters with a black marker, followed by a small reminder line:

"Please ensure it is delivered into the hands of Lu Xiang before 20:30."

Signed: A concerned citizen.

"You go first."

"Okay."

After the security guard left, Lu Xiang sat back in front of her desk and opened the envelope.

Old Man’s Printing Factory.

At 21:15, illegal activities will take place there.

Lu Xiang thought about it, picked up the internal line telephone of the law enforcers department, and dialed a number.

"Hello."

"Hmm, this is Lu Xiang."

"Notify team three and team five to be on standby, ready for action."
