Chapter 1 The New Intern

That afternoon, I rushed to the Evening News office in Wan City and strode into the editor-in-chief's office. "Editor-in-chief, hello, I'm Li Po, the new intern."

"You..." The editor-in-chief looked up and met my purplish-glowing ghost eyes.

The words I said when I entered were for the ears of outsiders. Now that they had heard them, the rest was what I needed to do behind closed doors.

I walked in front of the editor-in-chief and sat down, picking up a cigarette from the desk and lighting it. "Look at my face. When you see this face, you should be afraid! When I say one, you can't say two."

"If I suffer a loss in the newspaper, you have to jump out and bite people like a dog. Got it?"

"Got it!" The editor-in-chief was completely under the control of my ghost eyes. If I wanted him to jump off the building now, he wouldn't hesitate.

I continued to ask, "Do you know what's going on with Bai Xin?"

"I don't know!" The editor-in-chief said blankly, "The matter of Bai Xin has happened many times in the newspaper, but no one has ever known the origin of Bai Xin."

I pressed, "Who is in charge of personnel files? Among the retired people, is there anyone named Bai Xin?"

"I don't know!" The editor-in-chief shook his head again. "There used to be a private investigator who had the same suspicion, but he's dead."

While the editor-in-chief was speaking, I was also sending messages to Ye Yang and the others: "Investigate all the personnel of the newspaper, going back as far as possible, and see if there is anyone named Bai Xin."

Ghosts and monsters will repeatedly appear in a place, and there must be an inside story. On the way here, I suspected that Bai Xin was once a member of the Evening News, and this clue must be pursued.

I asked the editor-in-chief several questions in a row, but he didn't know the answers.

I could only say, "Bring Zhao Yuezhua in. Just say that I'm taking her to investigate the clues of Bai Xin. All expenses will be reimbursed by the newspaper. Hurry up!"

After the editor-in-chief made a phone call, a girl with a ponytail and wearing sportswear walked in.

Students who have just left school will always have a trace of youthful innocence.

Although Zhao Yuezhu also had the innocence of a student, her eyes gave people a sense of the sharpness of the jianghu (martial world).

The editor-in-chief said, "Xiao Zhao, come and sit down. This is the new intern, Li Po. You will guide him."

Zhao Yuezhu glanced at me. "Editor-in-chief, I'm still an intern myself. How can I guide others!"

The editor-in-chief waved his hand. "The newspaper is short of staff now, and everyone else is busy. I really can't find anyone to guide the intern. Moreover, your ability is comparable to many veteran reporters. I believe you can guide Li Po well!"

"Alright then!" Zhao Yuezhu obviously knew that the editor-in-chief wasn't telling the truth, but she still nodded in agreement.

The editor-in-chief said with a smile, "You should know about Bai Xin, right? The newspaper is very interested in the story of Bai Xin!"

"I specifically discussed it with the newspaper's team, and decided that the two of you will look for Bai Xin's clues. If you can make this a big news story, I don't need to discuss it with the team, and I will agree to your early promotion."

Zhao Yuezhu's eyes lit up obviously. I felt that her excitement was not because of the "promotion," but because of "Bai Xin."

The editor-in-chief continued, "This news trip will be very hard. You don't have to be frugal outside. You must spend what you need to spend. I have already told the finance department that your news expenses will be reimbursed."

"See, what other difficulties do you have?"

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you solve them."

Zhao Yuezhu shook her head. "There are no difficulties. I guarantee to complete the task."

The editor-in-chief smiled. "Good. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, contact me at any time. You can go out now! Xiao Li is new here, so you have to take care of him."

"Don't worry, editor-in-chief!" As soon as Zhao Yuezhu closed the door, she said to me, "Little apprentice, you are under my control from now on. Call me 'Master' first!"

If it were someone else, facing such a beautiful girl, they would can't wait to change the address and get closer.

But, can "Master" be called casually?

I only have one master, and that is Qu Mo. Even jokingly calling someone else "Master" is not allowed!

Just as I was thinking about how to fool Zhao Yuezhu, the person who came to my rescue arrived.

A middle-aged man with glasses walked over from the side and said to Zhao Yuezhu, "Yuezhu, who is this person?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Zhao Yuezhu's eyes, and the smile on her face disappeared. "This is the apprentice I'm guiding, Li Po!"

"An intern?" The other party rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, you're an intern yourself, how can you guide others?"

"Hey, Yuezhu is my intern, stay away from her. I'll find someone else to guide you. I'll talk to the editor-in-chief, you can do whatever you're supposed to do!"

I took a step forward, raised my right leg, and my knee hit the other party's crotch. The man knelt on the ground with a thud.

I followed by squatting down, grabbing the other party's hair with my left hand and pulling it up, and slapped him twice in the face with my right hand: "Listen to me, you son of a bitch. If you want to act tough, find someone else. In the future, walk with your head down when you see me. If I see your face once, I'll beat you up once! Got it?"

I was beating someone at the entrance of the editor-in-chief's office, and almost everyone in the newspaper stood up.
