Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Old Song, I Want to Eat Braised Spare Ribs_1

Song Lan had just walked in when Yeying, who had been sitting in the living room in a daze, came up to him. Standing on tiptoe, she sniffed diligently all over Song Lan, her serious expression resembling that of a little detective.

"I don’t have any food on me today, did you finish all the snacks in the food storage cabinet?"

Yeying ignored Song Lan, and after a careful 15-second inspection, the little detective finally reached a conclusion, "You smell like perfume, and the closest you were to her was probably... 2.01 meters!"

Then, she took out the small note Lu Xiang had given her before leaving and compared the numbers on it with her findings, mumbling to herself, "2 meters or more is a safe distance, below 1 meter I should directly dial this number."

Song Lan also saw the contents of the note, which, in addition to the remarks, held Lu Xiang’s mobile number.

Shocked, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

Who would have thought that he was less than 1.02 meters away from danger, a boundary just two steps away from crossing!

He knew that Yeying had a keen nose, but had not expected her sense of smell to be so incredibly powerful.

"Even a mechanical navigation dog’s nose isn’t as sharp as yours!"

"Yeying isn’t a canine, she’s an avian species!"

Yeying said defensively, "The Archbishop has said that Yeying is a kind of bird that forages for food at night, and all birds symbolize freedom!"

"Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes!"

At the mention of food, Yeying’s eyes lit up.

Song Lan had grasped this little girl’s Achilles’ heel; no matter when or where, just by waving food like a banner, she would immediately forget everything in front of her. Her appetite was always robust; she could eat non-stop all day without feeling full.

Later, Song Lan realized it wasn’t out of hunger, but gluttony.

The most direct evidence was that after staying at their home for a while, Yeying stopped picking up stuff to eat from the ground when she went out.

Despite the day’s exhausting shoot, Song Lan made three dishes and a rice cooker full of rice. During this time, Yeying sat obediently at the dining table, her little legs swinging non-stop, her smile almost overflowing. Inexplicably, Song Lan felt like he was raising a child.

His wife was working overtime tonight, and as an office worker, he had come home early to prepare dinner for the family of three.

He served up the meal he had prepared for Lu Xiang, and the rest was quickly devoured by Yeying.

A benefit of raising Yeying was that there was never a risk of wasting food at home. No matter how many dishes you made, she ensured that not even a bone was left. Under his and Lu Xiang’s guidance, Yeying’s eating manner had become more refined, at least she wasn’t gulping down food straight from the bowl and plates, sometimes even biting off a piece of the plate inadvertently.

Now, Yeying had learned to savor her food, though she still tended to eat bones.

Just like countless other office workers, after settling his daughter who had come home early from school, Song Lan, exhausted, leaned on the sofa in the living room and reflected on the whole day’s work.

His career seemed to be on the rise; mentors Guan Lili and Engle had both chosen to take a turn for him.

Guan Lili was the director of a big company’s publicity planning department, and Engle was a long-established Five-Star rescuer. Without the influence of the mass conscription, he would still be one of the most popular national rescuers.

But at the moment, Song Lan didn’t want to choose any of them.

Or, if possible, he wanted to choose mentor Jay Chou.

His phone’s ringtone interrupted Song Lan’s daydreaming. The name displayed immediately made him perk up with utmost energy—it was the boss checking in, which is the sad plight of the office worker: even during the rest time after coming home, one must always be ready to respond to the boss.

"Hello, reporting to the leader, I completed the work tasks outstandingly today, and always maintained a safe distance. Please give your instructions!"

As the call connected, Song Lan spoke with a resolute and powerful voice.

"I have to work overtime today, so I might not be able to come back until after eleven."

The leader’s voice sounded a bit weary. She had originally planned to return home early today for a surprise inspection on Song Lan, but a sudden case arose, keeping her busy until now, when she finally found time to make a call.

They had just returned from the scene and were about to attend a special meeting in ten minutes.

"This afternoon at Southeast Bank, there was a violent bank robbery that resulted in 7 deaths and 12 injuries, with the bank losing 21.7 million watts."

District Seventeen had not seen a major malignant case like this for a long time.

The bank was essentially a corporate asset; its security personnel was trained in-house. Many among them were veterans with far superior combat skills and equipment than the Law Enforcers.

The criminal gangs bold and skilled enough to rob banks in District Seventeen had dispersed long ago. Instinct told Lu Xiang that this bank robbery was not simple.

Even the surveillance footage from Southeast Bank had not yielded many useful clues. It was evident that there was a professional hacker in the robbery team. The hacker not only breached the bank’s security system but also successfully cracked the bank’s encrypted vault, transferring out a large sum of money.

Logically, the bank should have been able to trace the whereabouts of the money immediately, but until now, neither the bank nor their cyber surveillance had provided any clues to them.

"Do you need me to come over?"

"No need."

"Then... any other instructions, leader?"

"I’d like to have braised spare ribs for dinner."

...

The call ended, and Yeying, who also had very keen ears, spoke up, "I can help investigate, I’m the best at playing hide and seek among the sisters!"

Both catching people and hiding were her strengths. Her daily job in the Third Neutral Country was to ferret out hiding traitors from the shadows one by one.

She wanted to prove that she wasn’t a parasite, that feeding her came with many additional benefits.

"It’s not necessary, just stay at home, Bug Swarm has special teams to deal with these problems."

Oh, right!

Yeying suddenly realized, she had almost forgotten that behind Song Lan was a group not at all inferior in scale to the Lunar Eclipse Sect. It was because Song Lan had been lying around at home every day since returning to District Seventeen that she kept treating him like an ordinary citizen.

Song Lan was really too deceptive; he did not give off that dangerous aura unique to predators.

At the same time, Yeying felt a bit of anticipation, curious about this secret force Song Lan mentioned.

Unlike the ritualistic summoning methods of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, Song Lan just dialed a number.

The number was picked up after three rings.

On the other end was a middle-aged man’s voice full of world-weariness.

"Sammuen (see Chapter 254), come over later, and bring some spare ribs with you," directed Song Lan as a top member of Bug Swarm, "The supervisor says she wants braised spare ribs."
