Chapter 27
At seven o’clock in the morning, the sun rose.
Lian Xi and Su Jiao walked out of the gate of the SuZhou Public Security Bureau together. The two raised their heads to look at the rising sun in the east, exhaled heavily and then looked at each other. No words are needed, and some words can be communicated just with a glance –
What can be done about the Black Reaper’s ID problem?
Su Jiao started to come up with ideas: “Should we say that he’s unregistered and comes from a family who illegally had a second child and get him a new ID card?” {Refers to China’s previous one child policy, currently abolished.}
Lian Xi hit the nail on the head, “Who are his parents then?”
Su Jiao gritted his teeth: “His mom and dad thought he was too ugly when he was born and threw him out onto the side of the road?”
Lian Xi said blankly: “…”
“You say this again in front of the Black Reaper.”
Su Jiao: “Then what ideas do you have huh?!”
Su Jiao’s broken idea seemed interesting, but when Lian Xi thought about it carefully, it was full of loopholes. Lian Xi felt that Deputy Wu and his team would see through it at a glance.
Ok, if you want to say that Lie Chen was an illegal second child and his parents didn’t apply for the registration certificate for residency, then fine.
Then if you say that President Lie was too ugly and his mom and dad don’t want him at first sight… Okay, let’s just say that the policemen are all blind and have aesthetic problems, and they get fooled by you.
However, in modern society, it is impossible for anyone to live for more than 20 years without leaving a trace in society. Unless they are a savage from the mountains or a stray child who has been begging and living on the street since childhood. But in today’s civilized society, finding a person like that would be harder than climbing into the sky.
Lian Xi tightened his lips: “I’ll think of a way.”
Su Jiao curiously asked , “You’ll think of a way? Although we used the excuse of the black ghost having an emergency business trip and suddenly needing to leave to delay the time, they said they still definitely want his statement when he comes back from his business trip. They want him to come by immediately.”
Lian Xi was silent for a moment: ” Leave this with me.”
Su Jiao glanced at him quietly and whispered: “You really have a way, how come I don’t believe it…”
Lian Xi didn’t reply again.
Since Lian Xi said that he could solve the problem, then of course he had a real solution.
They really can’t fool around anymore.
The last time the real estate agent Xiao Liu also wanted to see Mr. Lie’s ID card. Lian Xi stayed up all night to photoshop an ID card to send to Xiao Liu and just managed to pull wool over her eyes. However, the police are not real estate agents. The identity information of other public security bureaus are linked on the internet. So of course, a simple photoshop job can’t fool the police.
They walked out of the Public Security Bureau and crossed two roads.
Lian Xi felt annoyed. He raised his head and looked across the road.
His line of sight was suddenly arrested.
At the end of the wide zebra crossing; a black-clothed, indifferent and elegant man stood under the tree with his right hand in his pocket and his left hand holding the certificate of reaper. His eyes were lowered and it was unknown what he was looking at. As if perceiving Lian Xi’s gaze, Lie Chen also raised his head and looked at him.
In the place covered by the shade of the trees, the golden light of the sky was diffused and surrounded the calm and handsome man in the middle.
Somehow, Lian Xi wanted to watch for a few more seconds.
The red light turned green and he stepped up and walked across the road.
President Lie has been waiting here for a long time.
It’s quite close to the community they rented and the three of them walked home together.
Whilst walking:
Lie Chen: “What’s a business trip?”
Lian Xi was taken aback. He turned his head to look at him but before he could say anything, Su Jiao on the side burst out: “You don’t know what a business trip is? It means you are away for work!”
“Oh.” Lie Chen said meaningfully: “For example, like when I traveled to Yan City on a business trip and worked on their territory.”
Lian Xi subconsciously added: “Stole their job?”
Su Jiao’s eyes widened: “Huh?”
Lie Chen glanced at him and smiled “I get it.”
Business trip = steal jobs.
Lian Xi: “…”
Although I’m not sure what you get, however it does feel like anything good.
Along the way, Lian Xi thought about how he should get an ID card for Mr. Lie. He didn’t notice that the man beside him glanced at him from time to time.
You stand upon a bridge to watch the scenery, but the people in the scenery in front of you are looking back up at you.
Under the dazzling sunrise, the young man stood on the opposite side of the road. The breeze blew his bangs on his forehead and the sun shone on his white skin, glowing like jade. Those clear and brilliant eyes stared at him quietly…
The Black Reaper put his hands in his pockets, and a sentence flashed across his heart.
The moonlight in the North Desert GuangHan Courtyard seems to be the same color…
Wait, what was the North Desert GuangHan Courtyard?
Lord Black Reaper frowned suddenly and fell deep into thought.
***
Although he had been busy all night and hadn’t slept at all, Lian Xi did not rush to sleep immediately upon getting home.
He tossed and turned in his bed and thought for a long time. Suddenly he got a flash of inspiration.
Lian Xi opened the phone address book, found a name he hadn’t contacted for a long time, and made a call.
After a few seconds, the phone was picked up, and a refreshing male voice on the other end of the phone: “Hey Lian Xi, why do you suddenly remember to call me?”
Lian Xi’s fingers were slightly curved. After a while, he said, “That… I’m sorry Chen Kai, there is something.. I need your help with.”
At this moment, in a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in a shopping mall in SuZhou City.
A young man in a neat suit walked out of the store and found a quiet corner. He held a mobile phone in one hand and smiled: “Hey, it’s been a year since graduation. I thought someone like you, who has a phobia of social situations, probably won’t take the initiative to contact the rest of us for your entire life. Don’t be so polite. We’ve lived together for four years after all, if you need help just say it.” Chen Kai finished talking. On the other end of the phone was a college roommate who hadn’t contacted him for a long time.
“I have a friend, he’s a bit… shady. He doesn’t have an ID card.”
Chen Kai frowned: “What’s the situation, is he the second child? An illegal?”
Lian Xi: “It’s a bit complicated. I saw on the chat before that you seem to be… cough cough… in a relationship with the daughter of the Deputy Director of the Chief of Police. I wanted to ask if you can help get him an ID card. I guarantee this person is absolutely upstanding, other than not being registered.”
Chen Kai smiled: ” Of course I believe you. This isn’t a big deal and I trust your judgement. But then again, how do you know that my girlfriend is the daughter of the Deputy Director? Tell me, is it because when Lao Zhao and I were chatting in the dorm, you peeped at my screen?”
Lian Xi smiled and said, “…you found me out.”
Chen Kai: “Okay, I know you are in a bind. This shouldn’t be a problem. Let me ask how to get one first and then I’ll tell you what information I need.”
Lian Xi: “Thank you so much!”
Chen Kai smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Oh, by the way, I remember one thing. I chatted to Lao Zhao last month and he said that your live broadcast is getting more popular.”
Lian Xi: “A little.”
Chen Kai laughed and said, “Are you still using my ghost story to scare people?”
Lian Xi was taken aback: “… you found out again. “
Chen Kai:”Hahaha how can I not? Lao Zhao saw your name on the homepage that day and went in to watch you. He saw that you told my ghost story. I didn’t expect you to remember that, it was all made up by me.”
Lian Xi: “…cough, sorry I told your story.”
“What’s so embarrassing about that, haha.” Chen Kai. “Well anyway, my mother, my girlfriend and I are having breakfast. I’ll ask around how to get the household registration and get back to you later.”
Lian Xi:” Yes, thank you. I’ll wait for your message. “
After hanging up the phone, the man opened the glass doors of the cafe and went inside. Wearing an expensive light-colored suit with a confident smile on his face, he strode towards the restaurant by the window. This is one of the best viewing spots in the entire mall and you can see the beautiful lake view of SuZhou City from a distance. Today there were blue waves rippling, a clear sky and broad clouds.
Chen Kai smiled and walked over: “Mom, QianQian, what are you guys talking about?”
The rich looking middle-aged woman smiled: “I heard QianQian talk about you when you were in college.” She motioned for her son to sit down.
Chen Kai pulled back the chair and sat beside his girlfriend.
The girl named QianQian looked average but had a pure temperament and two sweet dimples when she smiled. However, compared to her boyfriend sitting next to her, she indeed looked somewhat inferior.
When he was in school, Chen Kai was well-known in SuZhou City University for being handsome and he was known as the school’s male idol.
In fact, many girls said privately that Chen Kai’s roommate Lian Xi looked more handsome than him, but he never participated in group activities and just stayed indoors and never showed up all day long. He was not like Chen Kai who was also the vice president of the Student Union and got first-class scholarships every year. So the title of SuZhou City University’s male idol fell to Chen Kai.
The happy girl took her boyfriend’s arm, put her head on his shoulder and said with a smile: “I told auntie that you had very good grades when you were in college and that many girls liked you.”
Chen Kai smiled and squeezed girlfriend’s cheeks: “But I only like you.”
Seeing the sweet appearance of her son and his girlfriend, Chen Kai’s mother was very pleased. At this moment, she didn’t mind exposing her son a bit and decided to tell her future daughter-in-law some stories of Chen Kai as a child: “QianQian, you’re wrong. Xiao Kai’s grades were not always good since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, his grades were not good. So when he was admitted to Yan Middle School we were all shocked. Of course, he was a fee paying student. But still, Yan Middle School is not the kind of place you can just get in by paying. There is also a score requirement. Anyway, Xiao Kai passed the score for the fee paying students and his father and I were already very happy.”
QianQian’s eyes rounded: “Ah, something like this happened.”
Mother Chen: “That’s right. I remember it was the military training in the first year of junior high school, do you remember Xiao Kai? You lived at school at the time and the school was engaged in military training. Somehow you snuck out of the dormitory and went to some woods next to the school and passed out. The security guard found out the next morning and quickly sent you and your roommate to the infirmary but you couldn’t wake up… It seems you bumped your head? When the teacher contacted me and your dad, we were both very scared.”
Chen Kai smiled lovingly at his girlfriend and explained: “At that time, I was naughty and ran out of the dormitory to play in the middle of the night. “
Mother Chen: “Yes, your father was so angry that he beat you several times. But since then, you have become like a different person. You suddenly studied hard and didn’t play tricks anymore. You became very obedient, filial and good. You jumped up to the top ten of the class all at once, and the teacher said it was impossible.”
The girl looked at her boyfriend curiously: “How come you suddenly changed so much?”
Probably because his mother was telling embarrassing stories about him as a child, the handsome young man looked slightly helpless. However he didn’t want to look weak in front of these two most important women in his life, so he thought for a long time and then said with a gentle smile on his face and a calm voice: “It’s probably because I died once so I didn’t want to continue wasting my life.”
QianQian was stunned: “Died once?”
Chen Kai complained to his mother: “Dad beat me to death in the infirmary that time, without giving me any face.”
Mother Chen glared at her son angrily, “Wasn’t it because you were naughty?”
Chen Kai raised his hand and surrendered: “Well, it was my fault.”
Warm and joyous laughter sounded in the tea restaurant.
***
In the evening, the three of them finished resting and Lian Xi and Lie Chen helped Su Jiao move.
Su Jiao was moved: “Good brothers, thank goodness for the good roomates of HuaXia!”
He patted Lian Xi’s shoulder and was about to pat President Black Reaper’s shoulder too but then he saw Lord Black Reaper’s cold expression…
“Uh.” Su Jiao silently put his hands away.
On the way to SuZhou University, Su Jiao quietly poked Lian Xi: “Why would he come to help me move my things?”
Lian Xi thought for a while: “Guess?”
Su Jiao: “…”
Su Jiao: “Huh, I guess you don’t know either!” Don’t try to guess what the Black Reaper is thinking!
You really think I don’t know?
Lian Xi didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
Su Jiao’s dormitory was sealed off by the police because someone had just died in it. Even now, several criminal police officers stayed at the scene and took photos to collect evidence. It was difficult for the three of them to get in but a little policeman who happened to be on the scene had seen them at the police station before.
The little detective looked at Su Jiao and said with a smile: “Haha, come to get your luggage? You don’t dare to live here anymore?”
Su Jiao said with a smile: “Yes…”
The little detective: “Go, go in. We’re almost done here too. There shouldn’t be any major issues with the case but after getting your things, you should leave straight away.”
The three hurried into the dorm room.
It didn’t take long for the police outside the door to leave too.
Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief: “This is too bad, I never want to live in a dormitory again in my life!”
If you want to move your luggage, you have to pack your things first.
Lian Xi: “You lived here only half a month so why did you buy so many random things?”
Su Jiao was crying tearlessly as he collected his luggage: “I don’t know!”
After thinking about it, Lian Xi also helped him pack his things.
As the tidied up, and the sound of students talking came from the corridor outside the door.
“Did you hear? It was Liu Hao who killed Xie Ze!”
“Have you been stuck under a rock? Who doesn’t know? Liu Hao was caught on the spot and taken away in the early morning.”
“Eh, do you know what happened between them? Didn’t they have a good relationship before.”
“A woman.”
“A woman?” A third voice intervened: “What do you guys know, do you know about Sun Yan? Xie Ze cheated on his girlfriend last year with Sun Yan, did you guys know? You didn’t, right? But I do, haha. Sun Yan is really a slut. When Xie Ze was sneaking around with her, she liked it. But when Xie Ze broke up, she treated it as though nothing had ever happened. Last month, Sun Yan and Liu Hao got together and Xie Ze found out about it.”
“Woah, so was it like a threesome?”
“Threesome my ass! It was just Liu Hao and Sun Yan, Xie Ze didn’t get involved in it. But I heard from my uncle in the Public Security Bureau that Xie Ze kept blackmailing Liu Hao after finding out!”
“No way, Xie Ze doesn’t seem to be that kind of person.”
“Don’t you know who Liu Hao’s girlfriend is? It’s Senior Sister Xiao Jia! The precious only daughter of Teacher Xiao. Liu Hao was in a relationship with his mentor’s daughter so if his cheating gets found out, what do you think will happen? Definitely nothing good. Maybe he won’t even be able to graduate. He certainly didn’t dare to let Xiao Jia know. That’s why he got blackmailed by Xie Ze and had to help Xie Ze write his paper and give Xie Ze money. This time, the fuse was next month’s mentor recommendation. Xie Ze asked Liu Hao to give the opportunity. Liu Hao got angry and killed him.”
“So was Sun Yan also killed by Liu Hao?”
The three voices drifted away. .
For a long time, Su Jiao stared blankly at the roommate’s empty bed: “I really couldn’t tell he was such a person, he really seemed very nice…”
Lian Xi followed his gaze and looked over at the clean and tidy bed.
In this world, everyone wore a mask to live their life.
If the mask has been worn for a long time, it grows into the face and sticks to the flesh…
It can’t be taken off anymore.
…
After finally packing up the things, Lian Xi and Su Jiao raised their heads and suddenly realized…
“Fuck, where’s that black ghost?”
Lian Xi was a little surprised: “He was here just before.”
Su Jiao: “****! Do you think he saw us finishing packing and ran away? How is this helping me move?!”
Lian Xi frowned slightly and straightened up. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he blinked his eyes and turned to look out the window.
At the same time.
The dim light of the setting sun gleamed on the wall of the graduate dormitory building, glowing with mottled and strange colors.
Students kept coming in and out of the dormitory building to eat in the cafeteria. They talked and laughed, with their arms over each others shoulders. No one noticed the man in black standing next to the gate on the first floor.
Lie Chen stood downstairs in the graduate dormitory building of SuZhou City University. He put his hands in his pockets, gently raised his head and looked at an electricity bill on the glass door.
…Electricity bill.
What is that?
Lord Black Reaper slowly tilted his head.
The evening wind was warm and welcoming and a faintly cool wind blew through the man’s hair.
Suddenly, the world was quiet.
The students coming and going around were no longer so noisy, and the sound of the wind has become extremely slow. The golden light seemed to catch a glimpse of a white shadow. The shadow had an extraordinary magical power, which attracted people to not be able to look at it….
Lie Chen turned his head and looked at the thing which suddenly appeared at the corner inside the main door. A shabby and quiet little white pigeon.
A broken and bumpy ceramic shell, dark and deep eyes, and a blood-red mouth.
Lie Chen lowered his head, watching quietly, watching.
Then he looked at the crooked line of text engraved on the pigeon’s neck.
“…”
“Huh?”
“My dream? Does being the top performer at my job count?”
Little White Pigeon: “…????”
Huh?
In the sunset, the man looked at the dark eyes of the little white pigeon and slowly smiled: “Interesting, you robbed me of two of my jobs….”
“You’re really brave ah.”

Chapter 27
At seven o’clock in the morning, the sun rose.
Lian Xi and Su Jiao walked out of the gate of the SuZhou Public Security Bureau together. The two raised their heads to look at the rising sun in the east, exhaled heavily and then looked at each other. No words are needed, and some words can be communicated just with a glance –
What can be done about the Black Reaper’s ID problem?

Chen Kai raised his hand and surrendered: “Well, it was my fault.”
Warm and joyous laughter sounded in the tea restaurant.

In the evening, the three of them finished resting and Lian Xi and Lie Chen helped Su Jiao move.
Su Jiao was moved: “Good brothers, thank goodness for the good roomates of HuaXia!”
He patted Lian Xi’s shoulder and was about to pat President Black Reaper’s shoulder too but then he saw Lord Black Reaper’s cold expression…
“Uh.” Su Jiao silently put his hands away.
On the way to SuZhou University, Su Jiao quietly poked Lian Xi: “Why would he come to help me move my things?”
Lian Xi thought for a while: “Guess?”
Su Jiao: “…”
Su Jiao: “Huh, I guess you don’t know either!” Don’t try to guess what the Black Reaper is thinking!
You really think I don’t know?
Lian Xi didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
Su Jiao’s dormitory was sealed off by the police because someone had just died in it. Even now, several criminal police officers stayed at the scene and took photos to collect evidence. It was difficult for the three of them to get in but a little policeman who happened to be on the scene had seen them at the police station before.

The three hurried into the dorm room.
It didn’t take long for the police outside the door to leave too.
Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief: “This is too bad, I never want to live in a dormitory again in my life!”
If you want to move your luggage, you have to pack your things first.
Lian Xi: “You lived here only half a month so why did you buy so many random things?”
Su Jiao was crying tearlessly as he collected his luggage: “I don’t know!”
After thinking about it, Lian Xi also helped him pack his things.
As the tidied up, and the sound of students talking came from the corridor outside the door.
“Did you hear? It was Liu Hao who killed Xie Ze!”
“Have you been stuck under a rock? Who doesn’t know? Liu Hao was caught on the spot and taken away in the early morning.”
“Eh, do you know what happened between them? Didn’t they have a good relationship before.”
“A woman.”
“A woman?” A third voice intervened: “What do you guys know, do you know about Sun Yan? Xie Ze cheated on his girlfriend last year with Sun Yan, did you guys know? You didn’t, right? But I do, haha. Sun Yan is really a slut. When Xie Ze was sneaking around with her, she liked it. But when Xie Ze broke up, she treated it as though nothing had ever happened. Last month, Sun Yan and Liu Hao got together and Xie Ze found out about it.”
“Woah, so was it like a threesome?”
“Threesome my ass! It was just Liu Hao and Sun Yan, Xie Ze didn’t get involved in it. But I heard from my uncle in the Public Security Bureau that Xie Ze kept blackmailing Liu Hao after finding out!”
“No way, Xie Ze doesn’t seem to be that kind of person.”
“Don’t you know who Liu Hao’s girlfriend is? It’s Senior Sister Xiao Jia! The precious only daughter of Teacher Xiao. Liu Hao was in a relationship with his mentor’s daughter so if his cheating gets found out, what do you think will happen? Definitely nothing good. Maybe he won’t even be able to graduate. He certainly didn’t dare to let Xiao Jia know. That’s why he got blackmailed by Xie Ze and had to help Xie Ze write his paper and give Xie Ze money. This time, the fuse was next month’s mentor recommendation. Xie Ze asked Liu Hao to give the opportunity. Liu Hao got angry and killed him.”
“So was Sun Yan also killed by Liu Hao?”
The three voices drifted away. .
For a long time, Su Jiao stared blankly at the roommate’s empty bed: “I really couldn’t tell he was such a person, he really seemed very nice…”
Lian Xi followed his gaze and looked over at the clean and tidy bed.
In this world, everyone wore a mask to live their life.
If the mask has been worn for a long time, it grows into the face and sticks to the flesh…
It can’t be taken off anymore.
…
After finally packing up the things, Lian Xi and Su Jiao raised their heads and suddenly realized…
“Fuck, where’s that black ghost?”
Lian Xi was a little surprised: “He was here just before.”
Su Jiao: “****! Do you think he saw us finishing packing and ran away? How is this helping me move?!”
Lian Xi frowned slightly and straightened up. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he blinked his eyes and turned to look out the window.
At the same time.
The dim light of the setting sun gleamed on the wall of the graduate dormitory building, glowing with mottled and strange colors.
Students kept coming in and out of the dormitory building to eat in the cafeteria. They talked and laughed, with their arms over each others shoulders. No one noticed the man in black standing next to the gate on the first floor.
Lie Chen stood downstairs in the graduate dormitory building of SuZhou City University. He put his hands in his pockets, gently raised his head and looked at an electricity bill on the glass door.
…Electricity bill.
What is that?
Lord Black Reaper slowly tilted his head.
The evening wind was warm and welcoming and a faintly cool wind blew through the man’s hair.
Suddenly, the world was quiet.
The students coming and going around were no longer so noisy, and the sound of the wind has become extremely slow. The golden light seemed to catch a glimpse of a white shadow. The shadow had an extraordinary magical power, which attracted people to not be able to look at it….
Lie Chen turned his head and looked at the thing which suddenly appeared at the corner inside the main door. A shabby and quiet little white pigeon.
A broken and bumpy ceramic shell, dark and deep eyes, and a blood-red mouth.
Lie Chen lowered his head, watching quietly, watching.
Then he looked at the crooked line of text engraved on the pigeon’s neck.
“…”
“Huh?”
“My dream? Does being the top performer at my job count?”
Little White Pigeon: “…????”
Huh?
In the sunset, the man looked at the dark eyes of the little white pigeon and slowly smiled: “Interesting, you robbed me of two of my jobs….”
“You’re really brave ah.”
