Shi Jiaxin's question really stumped Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng thought, if he called Song Keren a friend, then how could he reconcile that with the fact that Song Keren would burn bridges at critical moments? Can you still call someone like that a friend?
But if he called her an enemy, it didn't seem quite right either.
While he was pondering this, the people outside the door began to panic internally.
Song Keren was indeed a bit nervous at that moment, fearing that Xiao Feng might say something baseless, causing Shi Jiaxin to feel burdened.
After some thought, Song Keren gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and pushed open the office door.
Shi Jiaxin was startled and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, stammering, "Keren, you, you're back?"
Song Keren nodded casually, put her bag on the desk, smiled, and said, "The meeting in the provincial office today wore me out. The higher-ups want us to carry out some activities, such as..."
"A crackdown on prostitution?" Xiao Feng interrupted, "I think we can carry out this activity. I'll take charge. At night, send a few people to me. They don't have to be too strong, just enough to prove their identity."
Song Keren widened her eyes, "You're not serious, are you?"
When Xiao Feng first mentioned forming a squad to crack down on prostitution, Song Keren didn't take it seriously, thinking he was joking. But now it seemed like he wasn't joking at all.
Xiao Feng nodded seriously, "I never speak empty words. If you two are free, you can come along."
Shi Jiaxin, who had been observing the interaction between Xiao Feng and Song Keren, realized that they didn't seem to be in a romantic relationship.
This realization made her breathe a sigh of relief, yet she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion rise within her.
After a moment, Shi Jiaxin suddenly raised her hand and said, "Count me in. I'll go along tonight."
Xiao Feng looked at her with a strange expression, "Weren't you saying that your arm was too tired to lift just now?"
"That was at noon, okay?" Shi Jiaxin replied irritably, "If I can't move at all, my arm would be ruined."
"Alright then, there's still some time left before we clock out, so keep on training," Xiao Feng said indifferently.
"..." Shi Jiaxin suddenly regretted raising her hand. It felt like she dug a pit for herself to jump into.
But in any case, the squad to crack down on prostitution was formed with Song Keren's approval.
Xiao Feng served as the squad leader, and apart from the volunteer Shi Jiaxin, the squad included veteran officer Zhao Xingfeng, along with other handpicked elite members, making a total of ten people.
This number was just tentative, with room for negotiation regarding additions or reductions.
Near the end of the workday, Xiao Feng gathered everyone together. It was clear that many people had some grievances about this.
After a hard day's work, who wouldn't want to go out and enjoy themselves after work, take a hot shower when they return, and sleep comfortably?
Moreover, cracking down on prostitution is a thankless task, and except for some newcomers, almost nobody wanted to do it.
"Everyone doesn't need to look so downcast." Xiao Feng said cheerfully, "Those who don't want to participate can opt-out on their own, I won't force anyone."
The crowd looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally, two people couldn't help but raise their hands and said, "Sorry, we have a dinner tonight, Feng-ge, is it possible to..."
"Okay, you two can leave on time." Xiao Feng nodded readily and then asked, "Anyone else want to opt-out?"
Seeing that Xiao Feng genuinely wasn't intending to pursue those who opted out, another two people raised their hands and said, "Feng-ge, we also..."
"No problem, no problem, you can go." Xiao Feng nodded with understanding and asked once more, "Anyone else wants to opt-out?"
Finally, no one else raised their hand, but four out of the ten-member squad left, leaving only six people.
Zhao Xingfeng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "They missed a chance to make a mark."
Aside from Shi Jiaxin, the remaining three officers exchanged glances, all discerning an unusual implication in that statement.
A chance to make a mark, could it be...
At this moment, a female officer with round-frame glasses, who looked very quiet, stood by the door, knocked, and cautiously asked, "Consultant Xiao, my name is Liu Kexin. I heard there's a mission tonight. Can I apply to join you?"
Xiao Feng was stunned, then he smiled and nodded, "Welcome, welcome."
Liu Kexin gratefully said, "Thank you, Consultant Xiao. I just recently joined the bureau. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"You're welcome. Instead of shopping with your boyfriend after work, you voluntarily join the mission, I really like your work attitude," Xiao Feng said with a smile.
"I... I don't have a boyfriend yet." Liu Kexin blushed, lowered her head, and spoke softly.
The three male officers beside Zhao Xingfeng perked up upon hearing that such a good-looking new colleague said she didn't have a boyfriend. They thought about doing their best to impress and hopefully end their single life sooner.
Noticing that Xiao Feng intended to chat more with Liu Kexin, Shi Jiaxin coughed twice and said discontentedly, "Let's assign the tasks first."
Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to assign anything. Originally, when there were ten of us, I could have divided into two teams with Old Zhao. Now with only seven, we'll act together."
The three male officers chimed in, "Acting together is good, don't worry, we will protect you two beauties."
Shi Jiaxin frowned, "Do you think you're strong? Did we ever say we needed your protection?"
Then, she looked at Xiao Feng and said, "I propose picking three more people, I'll take one team, and we split into two groups. That would be more efficient."
"Alright!" Xiao Feng agreed without hesitation.
After all, it was against Shen Tianze and the Shen Group. If possible, Xiao Feng wished that the whole bureau would mobilize to wipe them out.
Soon, Shi Jiaxin picked three people, and they were all female officers, each quite good-looking.
Xiao Feng frowned, "This is a mission, not a beauty contest. Looks don't count here."
"Just because they're good-looking doesn't mean they're weak?" Shi Jiaxin protested, "Who says girls are necessarily less capable? We intend to prove to you that we are not worse than anyone."
Xiao Feng shook his head, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot by allowing Shi Jiaxin into the team; it was a mistake through and through.
But it wasn't entirely incomprehensible, considering Shi Jiaxin's pursuit of sword techniques, it wasn't hard to see she was a competitive person. Plus, the untimely comments from the three male officers ignited her fighting spirit.
"Since that's the case, everyone change into plain clothes, and let's set off," Xiao Feng ordered decisively, although he had a feeling that something unexpected was going to happen with Shi Jiaxin's team tonight.
Ten minutes later, the ten members gathered in front of the police station.
This was the first time Xiao Feng had seen Song Keren out of her lab coat. She was wearing a pullover sweatshirt and ripped jeans paired with a pair of casual white shoes, looking remarkably neat and attractive.
After assigning the specific tasks, Xiao Feng and Shi Jiaxin split into two groups, each leading their team into action.
Shi Jiaxin looked at the four people in front of her, reached out her white palm flatly, and said, "Everyone, do your best. This mission has to be outstanding. Let's show them that women aren't inferior to men!"
Among the four, aside from Liu Kexin, the rest nodded enthusiastically.
The five hands stacked together, then swung down, and they shouted in unison, "Go team!"
