Shen Hu burped and said mysteriously, “Brother Dong, do you know that something big happened last night?”

“Is it about our Special Protection Department breaking through the earth element three-story pyramid?” Lin Zhendong said casually as he turned on the television. As expected, the morning news was reporting this news.

“No, it’s something that can’t be broadcast on the news! I don’t know if it has been leaked out. My little brother Ouyang Bin told me it when he sent me a message this morning!” Shen Hu said solemnly.

Lin Zhendong could not help but be stunned when he saw the solemn expression on the face of this unruly boy. He wanted to laugh, but he could not. Because Ouyang Bin’s father, Ouyang Jun, was the deputy chief of the district department in charge of intelligence work in Yuandong District of the Special Protection Department.

“Brother Dong, you didn’t go to dig treasure last night, right? Fortunately, you didn’t go.” Shen Hu said with a look of relief.

“What happened? Is there anything wrong?” Lin Zhendong asked with a frown.

“Sigh! Nothing too big. A greedy treasure digger actually snatched something from our Special Protection Department, and the most outrageous thing is that he actually succeeded! The humiliated Special Protection Department has gone crazy. They are searching and interrogating treasure diggers wantonly. That’s why I said it’s good that you didn’t go last night.” Shen Hu curled his lips and said.

Lin Zhendong was stunned. “Who’s so brave? How dare he snatches something from the Special Protection Department? Does he want to scourge our Riverside City treasure diggers?” For some reason, he suddenly thought of that beautiful woman.

“I don’t know his background. He’s a valiant man. According to the investigation, he’s a treasure digger from another city. In addition to that, there are no other leads at all.” Shen Hu shook his head and sighed.

“What was robbed?” When Lin Zhendong heard that it was a man, he didn’t mind and asked curiously.

“It’s said to be a Jade Lotus Flower. It was snatched away before we even knew its effects.” Shen Hu said.

“Is it related to our district department?” Lin Zhendong asked.

“Hehe, we’re lucky. That Jade Lotus Flower was stolen from the hands of the Baoyuan District, and the Baoyuan District is the one that should be blamed.” Shen Hu gloated.

Lin Zhendong could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

“Alright, alright. The adults will handle this. It’s time for us to go to school!” Lin Zhendong checked the time and urged.

“Okay!” Shen Hu stood up reluctantly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two men in black suits standing at the door.

Shen Hu immediately asked as if he was a local tyrant, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

“Hello, little boy. We are from the Intelligence Division of the Special Security Department of Riverside City. These are our credentials.” The two stern men forced a smile and took out their identification documents.

“Hello, colleagues from the city department. What can I do for you?” At this moment, Aunt Chen, who was also wearing a suit, interrupted and asked.

Shen Hu, who was initially hostile, had already relaxed. He turned his head and blinked at Lin Zhendong.

Lin Zhendong naturally did not need Aunt Chen to cover for him. He had a clear conscience, so he smiled and said, “Auntie, you can go to work first. I’ll talk to them. It’s fine.”

Aunt Chen looked into Lin Zhendong’s eyes and saw that he was very frank. She smiled and nodded. “Alright then. You entertain them. I’m going to work.” As she spoke, she gestured goodbye to the two men in black suits.

The two men in black suits also said goodbye to her politely with a smile. Shen Hu wanted to stay and join in, but he was chased away by Lin Zhendong, making him leave unhappily.

The two men were invited into the room and sat down. Everyone looked very relaxed.

Among the two men from the Intelligence Division, the slightly older one was named Li Zhi. He was the deputy captain of the Intelligence Division, Grade 4 Official.

The younger one was called Xiao Bin, a clerk in the Intelligence Division, Grade 7 Official.

Lin Zhendong poured two glasses of water for them and said, “I did go to watch our Special Protection Department break into the lair last night, but when I saw that the lair site was a three-story pyramid, I didn’t stop and went straight back. The access control system downstairs has my entry and exit time. This can’t be fake.”

The two men from the Intelligence Division smiled when they heard this. Li Zhi smiled and said,” You’re the younger generation of our Special Protection Department. Naturally, you know better than those ordinary treasure diggers what you can and can’t do. So we’re not here to ask about these things today.”

“Oh? Then why are you here…” Lin Zhendong raised his eyebrows.

“From what you said just now, you should know that a treasure digger snatched a treasure from our Special Protection Department in the early hours of the morning?” Li Zhi hadn’t gotten to the main topic yet.

“I just learned about it before you came.” Lin Zhendong nodded.

“It’s good that you know it.” Li Zhi nodded and asked again, “I heard that you have the nickname ‘Treasure-Hunting Mouse’?”

“I don’t! I’m not! Who said that!” Lin Zhendong immediately denied it again and again.

Both Li Zhi and Lin Zhendong were stunned for a moment, but they could immediately tell that Lin Zhendong was angry and resistant. They knew what was going on after thinking about it.

Li Zhi smiled. “Don’t be angry. Although this nickname doesn’t sound good, it represents your ability. We came here to ask if you do have such an ability.” At this point, he was already staring at Lin Zhendong’s expression.

Lin Zhendong was not an idiot, so how could he not know what this question meant! He hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly. “Yes, I have such an ability. But I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate.”

“That’s great. Then, how do you use this ability? Do you need detailed information? Or can you follow and find things just by the remnant aura?” Li Zhi was delighted at first, but then he asked urgently.

Lin Zhendong muttered in his heart, “You guys are treating me like a tracking dog?”

But he still answered truthfully, “I find things by analyzing the information remnants and judging the location based on my senses. It’s considered a talent skill. When there’s a treasure somewhere, I can sense it, but I can’t be sure what it is. Also, I haven’t tried to track down a treasure by relying on its remnant aura. I don’t know if I can succeed.”

“Very good!” Li Zhi clapped his hands and said excitedly, “I think you know why we’re looking for you.

“To be honest, it’s nothing for our Special Protection Department that one treasure, two treasures, or even ten treasures are gone!”

As soon as Li Zhi said this, the three people present, including Lin Zhendong, had a matter-of-fact look on their faces.

The Special Protection Department was in charge of the lairs. There were all kinds of treasures in their inventory. So not to mention ten pieces, a hundred pieces was nothing!

“However, someone actually dared to snatch things from our Special Protection Department!

“And he even succeeded!

“It’s a big disgrace for our Special Protection Department!” Li Zhi said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Bin, who had been silent all this while, raised his eyebrows and his eyes were filled with anger.

“That’s why the leader of the city department is so furious this time. He made an order directly that whoever catches that thief will be promoted to one grade higher official rank. And if one who is not on the payroll catches that thief, one will be directly put on the payroll!” Li Zhi stared at Lin Zhendong and said.

Lin Zhendong, who was originally thinking of doing voluntary labor, suddenly became interested after he heard that.
