Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Song Lan has been smart since he was a child_1

After many years, Song Lan was asked once again about a familiar topic.

However, unlike last time, he finally had someone he could consider marrying, instead of having to put off the question with his usual "next time for sure."

His conversation with the dean always felt real and familiar, save for the arsenal in the basement. The details of the orphanage almost matched those in his memories.

He really seemed to have grown up in this courtyard alongside the other children.

For these tricky questions, Song Lan had long been well-versed in how to respond, "Recently, my supervisor has been quite busy with work, so it may have to be postponed a bit."

"That’s understandable, young people should prioritize their careers."

The dean smiled kindly and mysteriously pulled out an electronic handbook, "Actually, I have always been keeping an eye on you all."

——The Love Story of Law Enforcement Department

???

The title on the cover hurt Song Lan’s eyes.

The world is declining, human hearts are not as of old.

When he woke up, why did he feel like there were little trolls everywhere in this world?

The cover illustration suggested that it was a romance novel, and the top right corner of the e-book enthusiastically marked it as the Seventh Issue.

The subtitle was "The Love Brain Battles of the Career Experts in the Seventh District."

Song Lan immediately checked the author’s name, curious to see which little troll was secretly plotting against them.

So, an author named "Nami Unit 2333" came into view.

Good, these little trolls not only secretly write about him but also use the innocent navigation robot Nami as a scapegoat!

Although Nami was intelligent, she would definitely not take the initiative to publish such an electronic publication without explicit instructions. What surprised him even more was that, unbeknownst to them, this electronic publication had already released its seventh issue!

The dean seemed not to notice Song Lan’s increasingly dark expression and kept adding fuel to the fire. "This is the most popular electronic publication in the Seventh District recently, even an old man like me who hardly goes out has heard of it; now everyone here has a copy."

Although "Nami Unit 2333" had "artistically processed" the names in the novel and included a disclaimer stating that any resemblance to real persons was purely coincidental, anyone familiar with the Seventh District knew that the female protagonist in the book was Lu Xiang, and as for a certain male protagonist who held the position of department head of two divisions...

His name was Song Lan.

Song Lan felt that this artistic processing, which changed only one letter and not even the pronunciation, was far from thoughtful.

"I really like this book, but there’s always something that disappoints me," the dean said, his smile fading slightly as he shared his seasoned point of view, "Why are you always so passive? When will I get to see you take the initiative?"

As an elder over the age of 80, the dean couldn’t believe he was feeling this impatient while reading a romance novel. At several plot points, he was so eager that he almost wanted to take a taxi in the middle of the night to summon Song Lan and give him a thorough talking-to.

Because of this eagerness among readers, the book was quickly nicknamed "I Want to Hurry You to Death" after it became a hit.

Regarding this, Song Lan could only laugh awkwardly, trying to make excuses for himself, "The stories in there are mostly fictional and differ greatly from reality."

In fact, Song Lan had tried taking the initiative before.

On his first business trip with Lu Xiang, he had tried using some knowledge he learned from intense internet surfing.

However, the outcome was far from ideal.

The atmosphere at the time was so awkward that even their Death God Crab friends fell into silence.

Since then, Song Lan realized something: the talent for love was like Spiritual Energy—it’s an innate gift, and his talent in this area was extremely low, possibly not even enough to pass the exam for a "one-star lover."

"I don’t think so."

The director had already seen through it, "When you entered the door just now, I saw her take the initiative to hook your arm."

This coincided exactly with the scenes described in the electronic publications.

Seeing Song Lan stammer without a word, the director took out a book from the drawers and handed it to him as if it were a family heirloom.

A Love Tip Every Day.

The director seemed unaware that the second volume of the book had already been published.

"You’ve always been clever since you were a kid. I believe that with a little study, you can master its mysteries."

For his own health, to avoid getting agitated by certain scenarios in electronic publications, the director bought this so-called best-selling love guidebook on the net overnight and had been waiting for the day Song Lan would return to the orphanage to see him.

More than the weapons in the basement, he wanted to hand this book over to Song Lan.

In the midst of their conversation, Lu Xiang, who had taken the children around several blocks, returned to the orphanage gate, the hovercar parked at the entrance, and the children, with joyful steps, chattered non-stop as they entered the yard.

The scenes from his memories unfolded before his eyes, turning empty cognitions into reality.

After saying goodbye to the director, Lu Xiang got back into the car, seemingly in an exceptionally good mood.

"I’ve heard quite a bit about you."

Today, she had gained a whole new understanding of Song Lan, "The children say you’re the record holder of the hide-and-seek game, maintaining a record of never having been found."

Many of them had never seen Song Lan when they arrived at the orphanage and only knew his name from some bizarre records.

As for the children who had met Song Lan, they all saw him as a role model.

Many of them aspired to become an honorable Law Enforcer when they grew up, proving the success of Song Lan’s publicity strategy because if it was a few years ago, the children would’ve wanted to become gang stars.

"The reason why the director is called ’Godfather’..."

Lu Xiang, through the children’s descriptions, deduced the origins of those urban legends, "is mainly because quite a few children grown up in the orphanage joined gangs and achieved certain statuses. When they came back to visit, they would bring some ’local specialties’ from the gangs, and over time, many people believed this orphanage had close ties with the gangs."

And because former gang members from the orphanage had once dealt with a few unruly street thugs, rumors began to spread worse and worse.

Having experienced the Seventh District, Lu Xiang had deep feelings about this.

"Thus, your director must truly be a kind old man."

"Speaking of that."

Song Lan felt it necessary to let Lu Xiang know that someone was fabricating stories about them behind their backs, "There’s a spy in our department, and they’ve secretly published an electronic publication called The Love Story of Law Enforcement Department without our knowledge!"

"Is that the novel that uses us as the prototypes for the male leads?"

Lu Xiang’s composed reaction surprised Song Lan, who opened his mouth and after a long while asked, "You knew?"

"You’re mistaken, they’re not scheming behind us."

Lu Xiang cracked a slight smile, "Before they started on this project, they submitted the proposal, and I approved it. I think it’s beneficial for increasing the citizens’ understanding and affection for the Law Enforcement Department."
