Superior at Work

　　Su Xiao gave his speech on his ideals in a delighted tone, and repeatedly emphasised the importance of his father as well as his definition of justice: “My father taught me to lead an honest life and uphold justice. As a result of my upbringing, I decided to uphold justice with my broadsword skills, and promote our Su family’s sword style.”

　　I bet he didn't notice that Shen Yiren was starting to get irritated.

　　She asked for his goals when joining Liu Shan Men yet he’s been rambling on-and-on about completely irrelevant stuff. Any superior would get irritated by this.

　　I coughed a few times to send him a hint, but instead, he looked at me with curiosity and asked: “Brother Ming, are you sick?”

　　Why? Do you have medication or something?!

　　Man, this kid’s IQ… You know what? Just buy yourself a hammer.

　　Whether I’m sick or not is of no importance. The last thing I want to see is one of us getting fired on the first day…

　　We didn’t get many new recruits in the first place, so if we’re one man down, then that means I’ll be stuck doing everything with the block of wood better known as Tang Ye.

　　I tried to save the situation by throwing him a highly intellectual line to help him get on topic: “Brother Xiao Han, you joined Liu Shan Men to make a name for yourself as you had such aspirations since you were young, right?”

　　“Huh? Liu Shan Men? I just came to try out…” I gave him a death-stare, and he flinched. He saw Shen Yiren’s expression and quickly added: “I actually want to be a good constable too, hehe.”

　　I now know first-hand what it means to have a goose-like teammate.*

　　"……"

　　Shen Yiren was evidently p.i.s.sed. She silently looked at me, and I think she was trying to say: “Make sure to teach him how he should behave in future.”

　　I silently gave her a nod to say: "I'll try my best…"

　　Ha! Thanks to the ordeal, I managed to win favour with Shen Yiren…

　　Tang Ye then started speaking before he was asked: “I didn’t join Liu Shan Men to be a constable. My only goal is to kill a particular person.”

　　Oh, f.u.c.k me! Dude! Are you trying to play bad-a.s.s?!

　　Shen Yiren unexpectedly didn’t look surprised. She just sorrowfully sighed and said: “Looks like my guess was right.”

　　Tang Ye nodded and said: “That is correct. I joined Liu Shan Men so that I could access the records of all the cases Liu Shan Men investigated in the past. I want to find out the truth behind the Mei Xiang Li murder case.”
