I live off of my friends, my name is Cao Wenxi!
Chapter 141: Eating Soft Rice Hard, My Great Name is Cao Wenxi!
If nothing unexpected happened, Kim Ji-soo was once again brought to tears.
“Ah shi ba!”
Kim Ji-soo stared at the English letters on the screen, ‘Dove Bitch, you lost to me, Lee Se-hyun, again!’
Kim Ji-soo’s legs were trembling with anger.
Why?
Why did she lose again?
Things shouldn't have been like this!!!
Damn it!!!
Lee Se-hyun couldn’t wait any longer; as soon as the match ended, he slipped away.
He didn’t even participate in the final variety show interview segment.
After praising Department Head Liang’s abilities and chatting with Jin Do-jun and the others for a few moments, he set off for the Capital City Eastern Police Precinct.
It was also a convenient detour to check on Mun-seo.
At this point, the game had ended, and it was time for the final segment: interviewing the players.
Since Lee Se-hyun, the two-time MVP winner, had run off, Yoo Jae-suk was bewildered. The person who should have been interviewed the most had left?
Then who the sibal was he supposed to interview?
The production team had no choice but to have Yoo Jae-suk revise the script early. Originally, it was supposed to be a solo interview with the winning team, especially the core player.
Now, it became an interview with everyone.
Kim Ji-soo originally didn’t want to stay there, not for a moment.
However, the production team changed the segment.
She had no choice but to remain in this humiliating place.
She really wanted to escape! But she couldn’t!
Thankfully, Lee Se-hyun wasn’t there.
Kim Ji-soo breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, she would have really needed to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Yoo Jae-suk had already started interviewing the red team over there.
“It proves that gods do bleed.”
“But!”
Song Yuqi challenged the blue team, saying, “Slaying a god? Do you have that strength?”
“Who can’t talk big?”
As soon as Song Yuqi said this, the atmosphere became explosive.
She was practically calling out a certain artist surnamed Kim by name.
Kim Ji-soo!
Yoo Jae-suk gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject, saying, “Teacher Da Fei, I’d like to ask for your assessment of this match.”
The netizens watching the live stream were flooding the comments.
“Haha, so funny, ‘I will prove that gods bleed’?”
“She’s beautiful, but she talks so big, and her skill is so trashy.”
“Song Yuqi is going all out, isn’t she? Doesn’t she care about her life? Being so sarcastic towards a senior, does she still want to stay in the entertainment industry?”
Although a small number of Kim Ji-soo’s loyal fans were defending her, most of the audience was making fun of her.
Teacher Da Fei said, “It was a very exciting match, even more thrilling than my professional games.”
Yoo Jae-suk laughed, “Haha, Teacher Da Fei, you must feel very wronged.”
“You only got to play support for both games.”
“You must be very frustrated!”
Teacher Da Fei recalled Lee Se-hyun’s explosive plays and said, “Not at all.”
“On the contrary, I really enjoyed playing support.”
“My ADC player is truly formidable!”
“If possible, I hope he goes pro, he could even join SKT as my teammate.”
“I really enjoy supporting such a strong ADC.”
Teacher Da Fei also had to admit that Lee Se-hyun’s draven truly amazed him.
He was truly a carry!
He even had a feeling that Lee Se-hyun’s draven was even stronger than his teammate, Faker!
At the very least, he was a player who could compete professionally.
Yoo Jae-suk was also surprised and said, “Teacher Da Fei, you’re being modest, your support is also very strong.”
“You complement each other, a powerful combination.”
As the saying goes, experts see the intricacies, while laymen see the spectacle.
Yoo Jae-suk didn’t understand the specifics, only that Lee Se-hyun killed many people, always either killing or on his way to kill.
And Teacher Da Fei’s support level was also world-class.
He just felt that while Lee Se-hyun was strong, he wasn’t as exaggerated as a professional player.
After hearing Teacher Da Fei praise Lee Se-hyun so highly, even wanting to be his teammate, everyone was surprised.
Especially Kim Ji-soo.
Kim Ji-soo bit her lower lip, feeling somewhat relieved; even The Great Demon King, the world’s best mid-laner, acknowledged it.
Lee Se-hyun’s skill was extremely strong.
Strong enough to even be a teammate.
Kim Ji-soo’s expression improved slightly, thinking, it doesn’t seem so shameful to lose to Lee Se-hyun.
On the contrary, it felt somewhat natural.
Who told him he played so incredibly well!!!
“Wow.”
Song Yuqi exclaimed, “Although I know Shixian Oppa is usually very strong and carries us every day,”
“I didn’t expect him to be this strong!”
“Even The Great Demon King personally acknowledged his plays.”
It made sense; he could carry four inexperienced players, winning even with Cho Mi-yeon, the clumsy one, and Yeh Shuhua, the newbie.
His technical skill was truly impressive.
The live stream was also buzzing with activity at this time.
Everyone was discussing an absent figure.
That was Lee Se-hyun.
The most frequent question was still, ‘Who exactly is Lee Se-hyun?’
Some said he was a second-generation Chaebol, others that he was the President’s son, and so on…
The protagonist of the discussion was already driving his Maybach, on his way to the Eastern Police Precinct.
Capital City, Eastern Police Precinct Lobby.
“Prosecutor Li!”
Cao Wenxi was already waiting at the Police Station entrance to greet Lee Se-hyun.
“Mun-seo, it’s been a while, I’ve missed you dearly.”
Lee Se-hyun laughed, “By the way, why haven’t you shaved your beard? You’ve changed so much since I last saw you.”
Cao Wenxi looked dispirited, with a scraggly beard and a slightly dirty uniform, appearing like an employee who had been laid off.
“Hmph!”
Cao Wenxi sighed, “Don’t even mention it, I’ve had some bad luck recently.”
“I was transferred to the Traffic Unit.”
“Every day I just go to work and issue parking tickets and such.”
“After work, I just lie at home with nothing to do, so I got lazy about shaving.”
“Traffic Unit?” Lee Se-hyun glanced at Cao Wenxi’s uniform; it really seemed to be for traffic.
No wonder he looked so dusty and worn; Cao Wenxi was gradually becoming darker, it turned out his face was tanned.
Lee Se-hyun teased, “I remember you used to be in the Major Crimes Unit, didn’t you?”
“Why don’t you like investigating cases anymore, and instead patrol the streets and issue tickets?”
The Major Crimes Unit of the Police Station specializes in investigating major criminal cases.
It couldn’t be compared to the Traffic Unit’s daily patrols.
This was evident just from their firearms.
The Traffic Unit wasn’t issued firearms.
Only the Major Crimes Unit was qualified to carry small firearms.
In the past, wherever Cao Wenxi went, a group of subordinates would follow him.
Now, he was all alone, appearing somewhat forlorn.
“Hmph.”
Cao Wenxi sighed again.
If he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to go to the Traffic Unit either!!!
Seeing Cao Wenxi preoccupied but unwilling to speak, Lee Se-hyun said, “Take me to meet your immediate superior.”
“Director Yu!”
Cao Wenxi led Lee Se-hyun to the office of the Eastern Police Precinct’s top official.
During this time, Cao Wenxi hesitated multiple times, wanting to speak but not knowing how to start.
“Prosecutor Li, I’ve disgraced you!”
“What are you talking about?”
“I…”
“I’ll first pay my respects to your Director Yu, we can talk later.” “Yes, sir!”
“Knock, knock~”
Cao Wenxi knocked three times on the door and announced, “Director Yu, I’m Sergeant Cao Wenxi from the Traffic Unit.”
“Enter!”
Cao Wenxi pushed open the door, stepping aside to let Lee Se-hyun enter first.
Lee Se-hyun didn’t stand on ceremony and walked into the office of the Eastern Police Precinct’s top official.
He found that the office chair was empty.
However, there was a middle-aged man on a guest chair nearby.
Lee Se-hyun was surprised; wasn’t he told that Director Yu was a young man in his thirties?
A rare young and energetic faction within the Police Station.
Why did he look so old?
The middle-aged man looked at Cao Wenxi, smiling faintly, “Cao Wenxi, why aren’t you out there issuing tickets properly?”
“Why are you sitting in Director Yu’s office?”
“Is it quitting time?”
“Sibal! Jiang Sang-gu, why the sibal are you in the Chief’s office?”
Cao Wenxi angrily said, “Whether I issue tickets or not is none of your damn business?”
“Are you my superior? You’re so nosy!”
Enemies meeting each other are particularly furious.
Section Chief Jiang scoffed, “I’m the Section Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section, of course I’m here to report criminal work to Director Yu.”
“What are you, from the Traffic Unit, doing here?”
“Could it be that you’re here to report to Director Yu how many tickets you issued today? How much money you fined others?”
“Hahahaha…”
Cao Wenxi stared intently at Section Chief Jiang, not speaking, his face looking somewhat grim.
Lee Se-hyun, standing by, pretty much understood the situation.
It seemed this old man named Section Chief Jiang had a grudge against Cao Wenxi.
Cao Wenxi was his subordinate.
Humiliating Cao Wenxi in front of him meant he didn’t respect him, right?
“Ahem.”
Lee Se-hyun coughed, interrupting their bickering, and said, "Where did Director Yu go?"
Lee Se-hyun's unquestionable tone made Section Chief Jiang pause. Why was this guy so arrogant?
Section Chief Jiang thought, *With that demeanor, you'd think you were the Chief?*
*'Where did Director Yu go?' You think you're the Minister of Police Affairs?*
*Does Director Yu need to report his whereabouts to you?*
Section Chief Jiang said expressionlessly, "I don't know."
"Hey! How are you talking to my boss?"
Cao Wenxi said, "You're in Director Yu's office, and you wouldn't know?"
Section Chief Jiang looked at the excessively young Lee Se-hyun, wondering if this Cao Wenxi had really lost his mind.
He actually called someone of unknown origin 'boss.'
"Cao Wenxi, if I don't know, I don't know. Even if you pry my mouth open, I'll still say the same thing."
"Why, do you have urgent business with Director Yu?"
"Then you can just call him."
Cao Wenxi was speechless. If I had Director Yu's number, would I still be asking you?
*This old geezer.*
Suddenly, the door opened.
A man with a square face, wearing a Police Station uniform, walked in.
"Director Yu, you're here!"
Section Chief Jiang quickly stood up and greeted him.
"What brings you here, Section Chief Jiang?" Director Yu teased.
He had just been transferred to the Eastern Police Precinct this year, and many people didn't take him seriously.
Fortunately, he had a strong background and connections in the Ministry of Police Affairs.
Only then did he slowly gain a foothold in the Eastern Police Precinct.
He gradually cultivated some of his own power.
As far as he knew, Section Chief Jiang of the Criminal Investigation Section was Deputy Precinct Chief Zhao's trusted subordinate.
*Why would he seek me out now?*
"I have something important to report to you."
"Oh? Tell me, what important matter is it?"
Section Chief Jiang signaled with his eyes for Cao Wenxi and the others to leave the room; it wasn't convenient for him to speak.
Director Yu was a little surprised; he had thought Cao Wenxi and the other person were Section Chief Jiang's people.
Director Yu asked, "Do you... have something to say?"
"Report! Sergeant Cao Wenxi of the Traffic Section, badge number 9527, reporting to you."
Cao Wenxi grinned and said, "Director Yu, we also have something important to discuss with you."
"You also have something important?" Section Chief Jiang was dumbfounded.
*What is this Cao Wenxi up to? What important matter could a mere patrol officer like you possibly have?*
*Is it more important than something from me, the Section Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section?*
Director Yu asked curiously, "You also have something important to report?"
Cao Wenxi nodded and said, "Yes."
"To be precise, my junior has something important to discuss with you."
Cao Wenxi knew about Lee Se-hyun's recent promotion.
He heard he hadn't even entered the department yet.
But he seemed to have heard from others that he was going to some incredibly powerful department.
And he was taking on the important position of Section Chief.
This Section Chief was not comparable to Section Chief Jiang, a small fry in the Police Station.
Even Director Yu, the head of the High-Level Police Station, would have to show him some respect.
Thinking of this, Cao Wenxi's posture unconsciously straightened.
"Your junior?"
Director Yu thought to himself, *Shouldn't your junior be me?*
*Could it be the young man next to him?*
???
Director Yu, with the air of a superior, asked, "Who are you?"
"Military Prosecution Department, Lee Se-hyun."
Lee Se-hyun replied faintly.
"You're from the Military Prosecution Department? The Special Investigation Department of the Military Prosecution Office?"
"Mhm."
Ah shi ba!
Upon hearing this, Director Yu was so surprised he nearly blurted out an expletive.
Military Prosecution Department?
Are you kidding me? This young man is actually from the Military Prosecution Department.
Isn't the Military Prosecution Department not even established yet?
Could his uncle be deceiving him?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
His uncle was the Vice Minister of Police Affairs; how could he possibly deceive him?
The Military Prosecution Department, information that only circulated among the higher-ups.
Director Yu had also heard about it from his uncle, the Vice Minister.
According to his uncle, the Military Prosecution Department should still be in the planning stages and not yet publicly announced.
Moreover, the departmental structure, he heard, had only established the positions of the Minister and a few Vice Ministers.
As for lower-level positions like Prosecutors, they hadn't yet been transferred from various Prosecutor's Offices.
Unless this young man was a high-ranking official in the Military Prosecution Department.
Hiss!
Director Yu was startled by his own thought.
How could that be?!
This guy is so young, he looks like he's only in his twenties.
Entered the department at such a young age?
*He must be the President's son!*
Director Yu cautiously asked, "Prosecutor Li, may I ask why you've come to see me?"
"I remember now!"
Director Yu immediately smiled and said, "You are Chief Li, Elder Cheng's student, aren't you?"
"I knew that name sounded familiar."
"And I think I saw you at a banquet."
It turned out that Director Yu was also at the banquet where President Zhang was present.
However, since they weren't in the same system, their interactions were minimal.
Director Yu was part of the police system.
Prosecutor Li Shixian was part of the Prosecutor system.
Coupled with Lee Se-hyun's dislike for such social banquets,
that's why Director Yu didn't recognize Lee Se-hyun immediately.
If it had been Lee Se-hyun's senior, Secretary Lu, or Deputy Director Cui, he would have been recognized in minutes.
"I personally greatly admire Deputy Director Cui."
Director Yu smiled and said, "Deputy Director Cui even invited me to dinner last time."
Saying they ate together was an exaggeration for Director Yu.
Director Yu might be someone important in the Police Department.
But in front of Deputy Director Cui, he was probably just there to make up the numbers.
Like when playing mahjong and needing one more person, he was just a fill-in.
Lee Se-hyun was surprised, not expecting Director Yu to actually know his second senior brother.
It seemed he was also his sycophant.
Lee Se-hyun smiled and said, "So, we're on the same side."
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I'm here for a personal matter."
"A personal matter?"
Director Yu turned to Section Chief Jiang, signaling him to leave.
If it was a private matter, it wouldn't be appropriate to discuss it with outsiders present.
Section Chief Jiang grew anxious. *Sibal old ma!*
*What kind of situation is this?*
He was here first, but in the blink of an eye, he was being asked to leave?
*I'm a Section Chief!!!*
Section Chief Jiang said unwillingly, "Director Yu, Deputy Precinct Chief Zhao asked me to come and report something to you."
"Regarding the Criminal Investigation Section's activation of the 'New World Plan.'"
"I hope you can approve its deployment."
Director Yu said, "Deputy Precinct Chief Zhao sent you here."
"The New World Plan?"
"Since it's Deputy Precinct Chief Zhao's arrangement, I naturally have no objections."
"You can explain the general idea, and then give me a detailed file for archiving at the Police Station."
The Criminal Investigation Section's plans were usually undercover operations.
This New World Plan was probably the same old routine.
Of course, the Criminal Investigation Section's undercover plans required the Chief's approval and knowledge.
Compiling files and archiving them at the Police Station.
And if there was no approval from the Chief,
this plan likely couldn't proceed as desired.
Director Yu supported such practical matters, regardless of whether they were proposed by Deputy Precinct Chief Zhao's subordinates or anyone else.
Ultimately, there would be a credit that belonged to him, the Chief of the Police Station.
That was unavoidable.
Director Yu indicated, "When you have time, report the general details to me."
"Finally, compile the detailed information into a file and give me a copy."
Section Chief Jiang hesitated. Director Yu's words sounded like he was being dismissed.
Asking him to report again next time?
Director Yu was busy now?
Section Chief Jiang's expression was displeased. He glanced at the young man next to Cao Wenxi.
Could it be because of this Prosecutor Li?
He had been confused by Director Yu's polite words earlier.
Banquet, Deputy Director, teacher, Military Prosecution Department...
It all sounded very impressive.
This young man seemed to be a second-generation heir of some sort.
*Not to be trifled with!*
Section Chief Jiang's intuition!
Section Chief Jiang didn't say anything more and left.
Seeing Section Chief Jiang leave, Director Yu said, "Prosecutor Li, anything I can do,"
"within my capabilities, I will help with all my might!"
Lee Se-hyun also didn't stand on ceremony and said, "There is indeed something I'd like to trouble Director Yu with."
"Please tell me!"
"I'd like to use your Police Station's shooting range to practice my marksmanship."
Just... just that?
