Chapter 112: Visit (2)

Zhou Jing speculated by himself.

“Speaking of which, Li Xiaoyin gave Xu Lingyun a spot to use the gene potion. I wonder how the situation is now… he wouldn’t have died from the gene potion, right?”

At this moment, Cheng Li took out a special tablet device and started her questions.

“Mr. Zhou Jing, if there’s no problem, shall we begin the process of our visit?”

“Alright.”

The group came to the dining table in the living room and sat down.

Cheng Li placed the equipment on the table and fiddled with it a few times before turning on the recording function. Then, she took out a thick stack of information from her bag before letting out a practiced smile.

“I’ll ask you some relevant questions, and I hope you’ll answer truthfully… But before we officially begin, I need to confirm with you one last time. Are you sure you’re willing?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wei’an, Big Brother, and Second Brother all looked at Zhou Jing nervously.

“I am.” Zhou Jing looked straight ahead and replied calmly.

Their expressions relaxed.

“Alright, understood.”

Cheng Li maintained her smile and pretended not to see the abnormal expressions of the others.

After working in the Immigration Bureau for so many years, she had seen all kinds of families. She was calm and only cared that nothing would go wrong with her work.

She would just follow the procedures and not care about anything else.

She cleared her throat and followed the procedures to ask questions. She threw out questions one by one according to the script, covering all aspects. Sometimes, she asked Zhou Jing about something from his childhood, and sometimes she asked him about his views on society.

Zhou Jing’s answer was as short as possible. To put it nicely, everything was politically correct.

This evaluation was divided into two aspects. One was to analyze the immigration target, and the other was to evaluate the value and ability of the immigrants. It was equivalent to a job interview.

He had no intention of pretending to be crazy, nor did he intend to show anything at this kind of interview. He would deal with it normally and just go through the motions.

After asking a few questions, Cheng Li flipped through the information in her hand and suddenly said, “You have a friend called Li Xiaoyin, right?”

“…What’s wrong?”

Zhou Jing’s casual gaze instantly became sharp.

The other party had his file in his hand, and his relationships were definitely all written in it. He was not surprised that the other party knew that he knew Li Xiaoyin, but he was curious why she suddenly mentioned it.

At this moment, the tall bodyguard, who had been silent all this while, suddenly had goosebumps. He immediately became vigilant and stared at Zhou Jing, his palm slowly pressing on the baton at his waist.

Zhou Jing glanced at him and met his gaze in midair before looking away.

Cheng Li was unaware of the confrontation between the two of them and continued asking according to the procedure.

“Do you know that Li Xiaoyin has become a Super?”

“I’m aware.”

“Then did she mention to you that she has an assistant slot and can buy a gene potion enhancement?”

“She did.”

“And did you ask her for this spot?”

“No.”

Zhou Jing’s expression softened and returned to its original indifference.

He understood why Cheng Li had mentioned Li Xiaoyin. She probably thought that since he knew a new Super, if he managed to persuade Li Xiaoyin to give him the position of assistant, he would not have to migrate.

On the other side, Zhou Wei’an was shocked.

“What? That girl became a Super?”

As Zhou Jing’s best friend, Li Xiaoyin had been a guest at his house before. Zhou Wei’an knew her and knew that she was an orphan, so he did not regard her highly.

Thus, when he suddenly heard this news, he was shocked.

Zhou Wei’an thought for a moment and suddenly turned to Zhou Jing.

“Why don’t you find a time to ask Li Xiaoyin out and ask her if she can give you the assistant spot? That way, you won’t have to migrate.”

Zhou Jing turned to look at him. “This slot is very precious.”

“You’re friends with Li Xiaoyin, and your relationship is so good. It shouldn’t be difficult for her to give you the spot, right? If she knows your situation, she should help you… If not, our family can gather the money and help you buy it,” Zhou Wei’an hurriedly said.

“Her assistant spot has already been given to someone else.” Zhou Jing retracted his gaze and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhou Wei’an was a little disappointed.

The male bodyguard at the side glanced at Zhou Wei’an strangely, as if he had suddenly thought of something. He immediately revealed a mocking expression but did not say anything.

Cheng Li did not care about their behavior and continued to ask her questions.

The interview lasted for nearly two hours before it ended. By that time, it was already noon.

Cheng Li closed the thick document and nodded. “Thank you for your cooperation. This is all for the visit. Sorry for disturbing you.”

“It’s nothing.” Zhou Wei’an replied with a chuckle.

Cheng Li did not look nor answer him. She put away her items before smiling at Zhou Jing.

“After the video of this visit is reviewed, I will send the follow-up immigration procedures and the information of the target immigration planet to your phone. At that time, I will inform you to check.”

“I understand.” Zhou Jing nodded quietly.

“Alright, we’ll leave now.”

Cheng Li packed her things and stood up. The tall male bodyguard also moved at the same time.

After Zhou Wei’an sent the two of them out, he turned around and looked at Zhou Jing.

“Listen to me, go find Li Xiaoyin and get that assistant title…”

“I’m leaving.”

Zhou Jing interrupted him and left without looking back.

When he arrived at the elevator, he happened to see Cheng Li and the bodyguard waiting for the elevator. They nodded at each other and took the elevator down together.

The elevator descended silently, without noise or vibration.

Zhou Jing looked at Cheng Li and asked casually, “Are you guys going to continue with your visits?”

“Yes, we’re headed to the next right now.”

Cheng Li replied with a formal smile.

Zhou Jing nodded and stopped talking.

The elevator quickly reached the ground. Zhou Jing politely bade farewell and left.

Cheng Li and the male bodyguard stood on the spot and watched Zhou Jing disappear into the bustling street.

At this moment, the tall male bodyguard suddenly said, “This person is too lackadasical. He doesn’t seem to care about his forced immigration at all.”

Hearing this, Cheng Li looked at him in surprise. “You don’t usually care about these things. Why are you suddenly paying attention?”

The tall male bodyguard narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a low voice, “That person is a little dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

Cheng Li was taken aback.

The visit went very smoothly just now. She did not feel anything wrong with the interviewee.

“I suspect that he has more than one life on his hands.”

The tall male bodyguard spoke solemnly.

Cheng Li looked surprised. “It’s just your imagination, right? His record is too clean. It’s impossible.”

“… Then maybe I made a mistake.”

The tall male bodyguard pinched his brows and didn’t explain further.

He paused and asked curiously, “What do you think of him from the evaluation?”

Cheng Li pursed her lips and said indifferently.

“The specifics require a system review… But in my experience, his answers are mostly perfunctory. There’s no need to talk about the psychological evaluation. He’s basically an ordinary person.

“As for the evaluation of ability, based on his resume and his perfunctory answer just now, it’s probably going to be set to the basic value.”

Basic value naturally belonged to the lower ranks, which meant that this was an ordinary immigrant. Their labor value to society was not high, and its greatest use was basically reproduction.

Meanwhile, high-value immigrants were usually those with technical professions, advanced professions, and Supers.

“Is that so…?”

The tall male bodyguard remained noncommittal.

For a moment just now, his intuition felt a terrifying threat from Zhou Jing.

As a Super who came from an official department and had received long-term training, he did not dare to ignore his intuition.

Although Zhou Jing appeared to be quite refined and cooperative…

However, he had a feeling that Zhou Jing was not an ordinary person.

But judging from his family’s performance… they could not be unaware, right?

The tall man secretly curled his lip.

Whichever the case, it was up to the Immigration Bureau would worry about whether this person was dangerous in the future.

This didn’t have anything to do with him, a bodyguard.
