Before Wang Jian'an could even ask him, Nie Xiujin ran away directly.
Wang Jian'an: "......"
Helplessly, he could only take a thermos cup from the office and go to the service desk on the first floor of the bookstore for his shift!
There was no choice but to dote on his own subordinates.
Little did he know, when he found out that they had gone behind his back to find Jian Xi and learn the lost art of paper manipulation, he really wanted to slap his present self!

Tang Xingyou hummed a song all the way and didn't notice that several cars were following behind her.
After arriving at Star Galaxy Community and getting out of the car, just as she closed the car door and took a few steps, she saw several very familiar cars. She was stunned. Weren't they Big Brother and the Deputy Squad Leader? Did Xiaoqi also call them to come together?
Shi Fan got out of the car and walked quickly towards Tang Xingyou. "Xiaoyou, you are so unfair! You wanted to secretly learn a skill and didn't even call me!"
"Wasn't it Xiaoqi who called you guys?" Tang Xingyou asked in surprise.
Shi Fan confidently replied, "Of course not, I overheard your phone call and followed."
Tang Xingyou glanced at the several people behind him. "Big Brother, you guys too?"
Nie Xiujin nervously touched his nose. "Yeah."
Tang Xingyou: "......"
Since they were already here, what could she do? Just go together!
So when Jian Xi saw that everyone in the bureau except Director Wang had come, she was a bit surprised, but later Tang Xingyou whispered to her and explained what was going on, then she understood.
She chuckled. Originally, she didn't plan to keep it for herself. On the contrary, she really wanted them to learn it so that they could cooperate more easily in future cases. However, she planned to teach Tang Xingyou first and then tell her to teach the others when they returned. She didn't expect that they would all follow along.
"Let's go, this one is quite troublesome today. It will probably take some time," Jian Xi warned them in advance.
"It's fine, it's fine. We took the whole afternoon off!" Shi Fan chimed in.
Tang Xingyou rolled her eyes. She only took a two-hour break, but they all took the whole afternoon off!
Jian Xi smiled. "Well, we won't need that much time. Let's go and see what's going on."
In fact, when she sensed the Yin energy from Song Zhou in the morning, she already knew what kind of spirit it was.
The technique of parasitic spirits usually involved preserving one's soul after death and placing it in a "container." Then, finding a living person born on the same day, month, and year as the deceased, dripping their blood into the "container," and carrying the container close to their body for forty-nine days. This parasitic spirit would then merge with the soul of the living person, replacing it.
The reason she didn't rush over earlier was that when she looked at Song Zhou, the Yin energy was dense but not fully merged yet, only about seventy percent.
She had once detached a parasitic spirit that was already ninety-five percent merged. Although it took two hours, she was successful. So the situation with Song Zhou's daughter was still relatively good.
However, these were her own thoughts. When Jian Xi told Nie Xiujin and the others that it was a parasitic spirit and it had already merged over seventy percent, they looked at Song Zhou with sympathy in their eyes.
Parasitic ghosts were no strangers to them, especially Nie Xiujin, who had witnessed Kong Shan Taoist Priest, the former president of the Metaphysics Association, separating a half-fused parasitic ghost. It took him two whole days to successfully separate them, but the person's soul suffered severe tearing and still hadn't woken up even now!
Later on, Nie Xiujin left the Metaphysics Association, but he heard that the current president, Ye Ze, was able to completely separate a parasitic ghost that was already halfway fused without harming the original soul.
Unfortunately, he hadn't had the opportunity to witness him separating another parasitic ghost before joining the Special Security Bureau.
Of course, such opportunities were rare. Parasitic ghosts weren't exactly commonplace!
For a moment, the atmosphere among the group was unusually quiet. After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old child!
Song Zhou was quiet because he was nervous, Nie Xiujin and the others were quiet because they felt regret, and Jian Xi remained silent while calculating the time in her mind. She needed to solve this as soon as possible because she had a scheduled driving test at 2 p.m. It was currently half past twelve, seventy percent of the time was left, one hour, plus the travel time to the driving school. Perfect!
Song Zhou's home was a three-story elevator apartment. He lived in 302, a two-bedroom, one-living-room house. He was a single father whose wife had died in a car accident seven years ago. He hadn't remarried and had been raising his daughter, Song Min, alone.
At first, his daughter was very attached to him, but as she entered adolescence, there were many things she no longer talked to him about. He was also someone who didn't express himself well, so they gradually stopped chatting.
Later, he became the driver for the Qi Family, and he spent less and less time at home. Sometimes, the family would use the car at night, and he worried that his daughter wouldn't be safe at home alone, so he applied for a dormitory for her at school.
At first, everything was normal, but in the past month, the teacher had called him several times, saying that his daughter had been involved in three fights within a week, started wearing makeup, started dating, and her grades suddenly dropped to the bottom of the class!
All these things were completely different from the previous Song Min. But sometimes, she would return to being well-behaved, and her grades would immediately return to the top of the class... It was abnormal. He still remembered the teacher hesitating for a long time before reluctantly suggesting that he take Song Min to see a psychiatrist.
He didn't believe it at the time, until the teacher sent him a photo of the different Song Min. The explosive hairstyle that was only popular in the 90s, the heavy black eye makeup... It scared him, and he almost didn't recognize his own daughter.
The teacher said that she was dressing like this more and more often, at least five days a week.
So he hurriedly brought Song Min back from school and took her to see a doctor, but he remembered the expression on Song Min's face at the time—disdain, mockery, and sarcasm.
The visit to the hospital yielded no results. Everything appeared normal, but Song Min's abnormal behavior persisted, which forced Song Zhou to consider other possibilities.
He was the driver for the Qi Family and had certainly heard about the recent famous Jian Xi. Without hesitation, he directly called Xu Yan to make an appointment.
As for why he was so certain that his daughter had provoked that kind of person when he met Jian Xi in the morning, it was because Song Min overheard his phone call to Xu Yan.
At that time, she stood not far away, her gaze icy and her tone mocking, saying, "Don't bother with those futile efforts. Soon enough, her body will be mine!"
