"Gu, would you be interested in doing an internship in Wushui?"
The internship opportunity was rare, and Gu Xinglan nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
Wushui is far away, but its economic development is much better than Jiang'an's. The dean's mother would be happy if he went to Wushui for his internship.
"Excuse me, I'll be reporting for duty next Monday."
Jiang Lin placed the QR code in front of him, and he hurriedly pulled out his phone from his pocket to scan it.
Jiang Lin's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Gu Xinglan seemed to wake from a dream and murmured, "Advisor, am I... going to Wushui for an internship?"
The counselor smiled and handed him a transfer letter, saying, "Team Leader Jiang came here for exchange and cooperation. He just arrived at the police academy a couple of days ago, and he specifically asked for your file."
This strange sense of fate left him speechless.
The next day, Gu Xinglan began packing her suitcase, planning to go to the high-speed rail station with Jiang Lin the following Monday.
I heard that the police station in Wushui is very large, and the dormitories are double rooms with spacious rooms.
He couldn't take it all in, especially the skyscrapers!
Two people were walking on the road.
Gu Xinglan was a little reserved, and after getting off the high-speed train, she kept observing the people and buildings passing by.
The faces of the passersby flashed across his pupils, and he subconsciously began to analyze their expressions and body language.
"Is there any event going on lately? Everyone seems to be having a great time." Gu Xinglan couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Lin had been observing the young man next to him ever since he got off the train.
The young man had a buzz cut, and his round head kept turning around, like a newborn puppy constantly exploring the outside world.
Hearing Gu Xinglan's words and seeing her smiling eyes looking over, Jiang Lin's gaze softened.
"There's a big shopping mall nearby that just opened. New users can get a discount, as low as 40% off."
"How did Brother Lin know?"
"I just saw it."
That's true. With people coming and going, if you pay attention and observe carefully, you can always hear people talking or see receipts in bags.
"Um, can I ask where that shopping mall is?" Gu Xinglan asked, a little embarrassed, scratching her head.
His suitcase was full of books and notes.
These were his treasures. As for toiletries, he didn't bring any; he only packed two pairs of underwear and two sets of clothes to change into.
“There are toiletries at home. My brother isn’t home often, so feel free to use his things.”
"Home? Can't I stay in the police station's dormitory?"
Why did I end up at Team Leader Jiang's house?
“Wushui has already filled all its internship positions for this year, and there are no vacancies in the dorms. You can come and stay at my place for now,” Jiang Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan felt deceived and kept glancing at the people next to her.
Team Leader Jiang's home was hidden deep inside an ordinary residential building; it took several turns through alleys to reach the destination.
As soon as the door opened, the smell of dog hit me.
A dog sat upright at the door, its big eyes wide open, its tongue lolling out.
"This is a working dog that failed its service and was rejected just two months ago."
Before Gu Xinglan even stepped inside, she was surrounded by black dogs circling around her.
The dog kept sniffing at him, seemingly adoring his scent, and soon began rubbing its mouth against his pocket.
The candy in his pocket was a gift from his advisor.
"How could such a clever little dog be eliminated?"
"Being too close to family makes it easy to become close to strangers."
The dog was so intelligent; it didn't bark at him when it first met him, even though it was a fierce dog.
"You can settle in here for now. Get a good night's sleep. Feel free to use whatever you need in the house. There's frozen food in the fridge. Just heat it up in the microwave if you get hungry. I have some things to do, so I'll be going now."
Jiang Lin gave him a spare key.
When sleeping at night.
The dog came specifically to sleep with him and even snores loudly.
Gu Xinglan couldn't sleep to begin with, and now he couldn't sleep at all. He could only lie there with his eyes open, asking himself for the second time if he had been deceived...
The Wushui Police Station has already filled its quota of interns, so why did they send him here? He has a senior classmate who went to intern at another police station for less than a month before returning to school. He brought all his enthusiasm to the job, but ended up doing odd jobs, even working as a cleaner. All that enthusiasm was extinguished.
Gu Xinglan blinked, unable to fall asleep, and couldn't help but look around at the layout of the room.
This room belongs to Jiang's younger brother. It's very empty; there's no place to see any personal information.
"Jiang Chuzheng...is a reporter?"
There was a journalist's ID card in the bedside table.
Gu Xinglan opened other people's lockers without any shame, and looked at the portrait on the work ID with a clear conscience.
Just then, the door was suddenly opened.
Outside stood a dark, shadowy figure, four eyes staring at each other in the air.
Ah, the owner of the work permit is back.
“I’m an intern brought here by your brother, and he let me stay here temporarily.”
The work permit was quickly snatched away.
Jiang Chuzheng, covered in dust, took off his clothes while going to the closet to get a change of clothes, and finally dawdled into the bathroom.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
The room's owner returned, and he had no intention of staying in someone else's room. He could only shake the dog awake and slink away to the living room.
There were two people and a dog. The dog was the most excited, while the other two were quite embarrassed.
"Aren't you sleeping? Go on." Jiang Chuzheng came out of the room, his voice hoarse, clearly indicating that he hadn't had water in a long time.
Gu Xinglan replied, "Do you want some porridge? I'll cook some for you."
"Okay, add more meat, I want it salty."
This person is really impolite.
After finishing his porridge, Jiang Chuzheng took the clippers and shaved off all his medium-length hair, then started typing away on his computer.
Gu Xinglan didn't ask any more questions, yawned from sleepiness, and went to her room to sleep.
The next day, he went out with Jiang Lin in his car.
“That’s my brother, he’s an investigative journalist.”
Team Leader Jiang talked to him a lot, mostly about Jiang Chuzheng's achievements.
Upon hearing that the man had gone alone to investigate a shady human organ clinic, Gu Xinglan immediately gave him a thumbs up, filled with respect.
He was stunned when the car pulled into a school.
My ID card, student ID, and campus card were also stuffed into my arms; the campus card showed my major as psychiatry.
"Xiao Gu, you need to pretend to be a freshman in this school and make sure that you maintain your student identity as well as possible. You must ensure that no one knows your second identity, otherwise you will fail the test."
"Captain Jiang, what's wrong with you...?" He swallowed hard.
"Yes, it's just an assessment. Just keep that in mind."
Jiang's words were ambiguous.
Gu Xinglan had a vague feeling that a big case was waiting for him, and it was definitely related to undercover agents!
Team Leader Jiang had just been talking to him about investigative journalism, not to mention now that he's given him a new identity.
"I guarantee I will complete the mission," Gu Xinglan said in a low, hoarse voice.
He became a freshman majoring in psychiatry again.
He didn't like his major, and going to school every day felt like going to a funeral, but he was determined to keep going because it was a task assigned to him by his superiors.
Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth and frantically studied, memorizing so much that her brain had become the subject of her major. In order to ensure her academic performance and to be eligible for awards and honors, she also served as a class committee member, with countless tasks to handle every day from the moment she opened her eyes.
Finally, at the end of his freshman year, he even won a school award.
On the night he received the award, Gu Xinglan was dragged to a social gathering by his roommates, and someone even confessed their feelings to him.
The senior was very nice; she had long, straight black hair, and her eyes were as watery as grapes as she looked at him.
"Gu Xinglan, say yes quickly!"
The people around him kept jeering and making a ruckus, holding up their glasses.
"Sorry, he's taken." A hand suddenly landed on my shoulder.
The noise in the private room immediately subsided, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the person who had spoken.
Isn't that Jiang Chuzheng?
Gu Xinglan remained motionless.
