The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.

The midday sun was so scorching it seemed to drain you dry, but after being trained by the array formation of Cheng'an City, it instantly became warm and pleasant.

The students have already split up and are on their own. The outcome should be decided when they gather again in the afternoon.

Fang Zhou carried Xiao Yue as they walked down the street. There was nothing more for him to do here, so he prepared to go and check on the situation of the other group.

As soon as Fang Zhou stepped into the gate of Cheng'an Management Office, he saw Cheng Wenyuan, disguised as a middle-aged man, making things difficult for a student in the management group.

"What's going on? I told you last time that I was here today to get a certificate of no criminal record, and now you're telling me you can't?"

Cheng Wenyuan slammed his hand on the counter, his voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire hall.

His transformed middle-aged face flushed red, veins bulging, making him look exactly like an unreasonable and unruly scoundrel.

The student behind the counter was a tall, thin boy. Fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, but he was still trying to maintain a smile.

"Sir, your documents are incomplete. You don't even have an official identity document. We really can't issue this certificate."

"Can't do it? You said the same thing last time, that this is missing, that is missing. Do you believe I'll complain about you?"

Cheng Wenyuan raised his voice a few decibels, drawing the attention of several other residents in the hall who were there to conduct business.

Fang Zhou held Xiao Yue and leaned against the door frame, watching with great interest.

Xiaoyue peeked out from his arms, her amber eyes darting around. She looked at Cheng Wenyuan, then at the student, and finally looked up at Fang Zhou, calling out softly.

Fang Zhou looked down and patted its head: "Watching the show, don't make a sound."

The boy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down:

"Sir, your complaint won't do any good. According to regulations, official identification is required to obtain a certificate of no criminal record."

You can go to the household registration office to get an identity certificate first, and then I will issue you a certificate of no criminal record.

"Household Registration Office?"

Cheng Wenyuan sneered.

"Do you know how long I queued at the household registration office? Two hours! After two hours, they told me that my documents were incomplete and that I had to come here to complete the process!"

Fang Zhou couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The boy's smile faltered, and after a long silence, his words were tinged with pleading:

"Sir, please sit down for a while. I'll compile a list of the materials you'll need. Just prepare them according to this list, and I guarantee it will be done the first time."

"I'm not sitting," Cheng Wenyuan said arrogantly, arms crossed. "I'm going to get it done today, and I'm not leaving until it's done."

Just as the boy was about to burst into tears, a series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway.

Fang Zhou turned around and saw Lin Shuangshuang leading several students from the case team rushing in.

When Cheng Wenyuan saw Lin Shuangshuang, he was slightly taken aback, and then stepped aside.

Lin Shuangshuang quickly walked to the counter, placed her hands on the countertop, and stared sharply at the young man:

"Where are the people from your management team who escorted the supplies to the school warehouse this morning?"

The boy was startled by the sudden question and instinctively pointed behind him:

"Check the documents in the document room at the back."

Without saying a word, Lin Shuangshuang walked around the counter and headed to the back.

The boy didn't dare to stop her and let Lin Shuangshuang walk past. He looked like he was about to break apart.

Cheng Wenyuan leaned closer to Fang Zhou and asked in a low voice:

"Why is Lin Shuangshuang here?"

"Let's investigate the case." Fang Zhou was starting to lose his composure.

"Luo Chuan took a book from the school warehouse and tricked them completely. Coincidentally, the management team delivered a batch of supplies to the warehouse today, which was much less than usual, so they just happened to run into them."

Cheng Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "You came up with this idea?"

"I'm not that mean."

"What about the management team delivering supplies? Is that related to Luo Chuan?"

"It's probably a coincidence," Fang Zhou shrugged.

"It must be that the corrupt officials in the management team embezzled the school's supplies, and it just so happened that the two things happened together. Now everyone there thinks the two things are related."

Cheng Wenyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled:

"Then Luo Chuan has won, and there's not much time left before the game ends."

As the two were whispering to each other, a commotion arose behind them.

Lin Shuangshuang led several students from the management team out of the document room.

Leading the way was a girl wearing glasses, holding a stack of receipts in her hand, looking somewhat excited. They were just wondering how to catch corrupt officials, and the clues had come to them on their own.

"I've checked." The girl with glasses said excitedly, "The batch of supplies that came into the warehouse this morning was indeed 30% less than usual."

The young man at the counter took the receipt, glanced at it, and frowned: "Who's in charge of this batch of supplies today?"

The girl with glasses glanced at the faces of everyone in the management team, and finally her gaze settled on a boy of medium build in the crowd.

All eyes turned to her.

"It's him, he must be a corrupt official."

The young man sighed, "Heaven is going to destroy me, it's not my fault."

"Yes, that's right, I am a 'corrupt official'."

The corrupt official reluctantly admitted it.

Lin Shuangshuang walked up to him, looking at him aggressively:

"You're the 'corrupt official' in the management team, aren't you? Did you have some kind of collaboration with the criminals in our team? Now that you've been caught, continuing to cover it up will be a violation of the rules."

The corrupt official was somewhat surprised, but he still denied Lin Shuangshuang's question:

"No, I made the plan all by myself."

Why did you choose to tamper with the school's supplies?

The "corrupt official" looked puzzled, but finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Because the two groups are supposed to not interfere with each other. It would be easy to get caught if you were to act here, but it's different in the school. You broke the rules first."

Fang Zhou and Cheng Wenyuan stood side by side, both showing expressions of watching a show.

The students in the management group looked at each other, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

The "corrupt official's" words do make some sense. The two games were played independently, and the corruption within the management team should not be related to the theft case in the case team.

The problem is that the two events happened to coincide, with overlap in time, place, and people, making one wonder if there was a connection between them.

Lin Shuangshuang was somewhat unwilling: "You're not lying?"

The corrupt official shook his head: "My game is over, there's no need for me to lie."

Lin Shuangshuang ultimately believed the "corrupt official," after all, as he said, his game was over, and according to the rules, he couldn't interfere with other people's games.

Since the criminals have nothing to do with the corrupt officials, she needs to tell others this news as soon as possible; time is running out.

Seeing Lin Shuangshuang leave with her people, Fang Zhou patted Cheng Wenyuan on the shoulder.

"Don't go too far, the child is about to cry."

Cheng Wenyuan looked at Fang Zhou speechlessly:

"Don't talk about other people's kids. Brother Fang, you're not much older than them."

Fang Zhou smiled, didn't reply to Cheng Wenyuan, and turned to follow Lin Shuangshuang.

"Lin Shuangshuang, there are still two hours left in the game, don't give up!"

Lin Shuangshuang didn't turn around, but confidently said:

"Don't worry, Coach, I will win this game."
