Chapter 719 Prelude to the confrontation (two chapters in one)
"Beast tracks?"
Lin Li was very surprised after hearing what Liu Jialin said.
Then, he sent a voice message and asked, "If the final investigation results show that the place where the flood occurred this time was really caused by alien beasts, what should we do next?"
"call……"
A gust of wind blew by, and the leafy tree swayed gently, and some leaves fell from the tree and floated towards Liu Jialin's head.
Taking a step to her side, Liu Jialin stretched out her left hand to catch the fallen leaves.
She glanced at the slightly withered leaves in her hand, and then replied to Lin Li with a voice message.
"If the final investigation results show that it was really alien animals that caused the floods, then we will definitely continue to track down the culprits and at the same time check for deficiencies to prevent such things from happening again."
Not long after the voice was sent, Lin Li replied with something that made Liu Jialin a little speechless.
"Tracing down the culprit and checking for deficiencies will require the mobilization of a lot of manpower, and the Supernatural Power Management Bureau is currently short of manpower..."
"..." Lin Li's truthfulness made Liu Jialin not sure how to answer, and her silence also made Lin Li feel a little embarrassed.
"This kind of thing is not something I should worry about. When the time comes, the leaders of the bureau will naturally find a way to solve it." Liu Jialin dumped this somewhat thorny issue on the leadership.
Of course, she was right in saying that. The shortage of manpower was not something Liu Jialin could solve. It was natural for the leaders to deal with such a headache and find a solution.
Lin Li did not continue chatting about the shortage of manpower in the Superpower Management Bureau. He turned his head and looked at the sky outside and said to Liu Jialin.
"There's nothing else to do, so go ahead and get busy! When you go on vacation later, we'll make an appointment to have a meal together."
"Yeah." After Liu Jialin finished chatting with Lin Li, she put away her phone.
Just as he was about to return to his office, he saw a colleague he knew in the distance hurriedly walking over from a distance.
"Xiao He, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"I have received a piece of information about the Black Crow Organization, and I need to take it to the leader quickly." Investigator Xiao He simply said to Liu Jialin, and then walked quickly to an office building in the distance.
Liu Jialin looked at her colleague's retreating figure, and her slender eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
"Intelligence from the Black Crow Organization? What do those guys want to do?"
…………
In the quiet living room, Lin Li was sitting on the sofa, thinking about the content of his chat with Liu Jialin just now.
"Then if the flood was really caused by alien beasts, wouldn't the Superpower Management Bureau take severe revenge on those alien beasts that caused trouble?"
Lin Li thought for a while, then put the flood aside. He picked up the TV remote control, turned the muted TV back on, jumped to a channel that played a TV series, then got up and left the living room, going to the kitchen to get ice cream.
"Ding dong..."
Someone rang the doorbell at home. Lin Li, who had just taken out a box of ice cream from the freezer and took a bite, heard the doorbell ringing. He immediately put the ice cream in his hand on the dining table and walked quickly to the entrance hall.
"Click."
Opening the door, Lin Li saw a courier boy in his twenties standing at the door of his house, holding a large package in his hand.
"I haven't done any online shopping recently. Where can I get express delivery? This courier guy must have found the wrong place..."
Before Lin Li could ask the other person, he heard the courier boy asking for help.
"Hello, sir, this is your neighbor's express delivery. I couldn't get through to her when I called her just now. Could you please sign for it on her behalf?"
It turned out to be Xia Qing's express delivery... Lin Li smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After a while, Lin Li, who was collecting express delivery for his neighbor next door, closed the door.
He came to the restaurant with the express delivery, put the package on the table, then picked up the ice cream and took a taste, and walked to the living room.
…………
In Rongxi Primary School, the school bell rang, and the quiet campus became very noisy.
Many students ran out of the classroom and ran towards the entrance of the campus.
Although the teacher has repeatedly emphasized not to run in school, how can any child who is eager to go home and watch cartoons after school be able to resist running?
Zhou Tongtong, carrying a cartoon schoolbag, came to Xia Qing. She saw that Xia Qing was on the phone, so she stood aside and waited.
"Okay, I understand, please excuse me."
Xia Qing finished the call, put away her phone, and handed the helmet to Zhou Tongtong.
"Mom, who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Zhou Tongtong asked Xia Qing while putting on her helmet.
Xia Qing replied, "I was on the phone with the courier just now!"
"My things have arrived so soon?" Zhou Tongtong said in surprise after putting on her helmet.
"Say!" Xia Qing picked up Zhou Tongtong and put her on the back seat. "Because the delivery place is local, it arrived so quickly."
"Mom, let's go home quickly!" Zhou Tongtong urged eagerly as she wanted to see the things she had purchased online.
"Don't be anxious. Before we go back, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and bring some small fish to the two little wild cats." Xia Qing said as she started the electric car and drove her daughter to the place where she bought vegetables.

…………
In the teacher's office, Su Yue packed up the things on the desk and prepared to get off work.
She took her phone out of the drawer, unlocked the screen, and planned to check whether the weather would rain again tonight, when she found an unread message.
"Lin Li is back from the wilderness."
Su Yue saw that the message was from Lin Li. She browsed it quickly, then picked up her bag and walked out of the office while sending another message to Lin Li.
"It rained quite a lot in the afternoon. Did you get wet from the rain when you were hunting exotic animals in the wilderness?"
Lin Li was eating ice cream and was about to pick up the remote control to change channels when the cell phone placed aside rang.
Putting the ice cream in his hand on the coffee table, Lin Li picked up his phone to check, and then replied to Su Yue.
"I didn't get wet from the rain. I saw something was wrong with the weather, so I found a place to hide in advance..."
"Da da da……"
The heels of her shoes stepped on the ground, making a crisp sound. Su Yue walked out of the corridor and walked toward the carport where the electric vehicle was parked.
When she saw Lin Li's reply that he had not been exposed to the rain, her worries immediately dissipated, and then she talked about the floods she had seen on the news before.
“It’s true that a few hours of rain caused flooding.
I don't know what caused it at the moment. I'll just wait for the investigation report from the relevant departments!" Lin Li simply replied without disclosing the information he received from Liu Jialin.
After talking about the flood, Su Yue came to her car. She put her phone back into her bag, and then rolled out her white Little Sheep electric car from the carport.
"Teacher Su, it just started raining. There will be water in some places on the road. You should be careful when you go back!"
A patrolling security guard passed by and saw Su Yue getting ready to get off work, and enthusiastically reminded her.
"Yes." Su Yue smiled and nodded, then started the electric car and drove towards the school gate.
Because the rain had just stopped not long ago, there was some water accumulation in some places on the road.
After Su Yue came out of school, she drove towards her old classmate's flower shop.
Along the way, she saw some places with stagnant water, and for safety reasons, she would slow down the car.
…………
In a flower shop on Wangxi Road in the East District, a tall, pretty girl with short shoulder-length hair, an oval face, a well-proportioned figure, was sitting at the cashier, somewhat bored.
"Why……"
A sigh sounded in the quiet flower shop. Wang Ling held her cheek with her right hand and looked at the pots of flowers on the shelves, feeling a little depressed.
At this time, a white little sheep electric car stopped on the street outside the flower shop.
After a while, a beautiful figure with a pretty face, clear curves and charming temperament walked into the flower shop.
Wang Ling heard the movement at the door and immediately turned her head to look. Then her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately stood up and went to meet him.
"You're here!"
Su Yue looked at her good friend and said with a smile, "Why did you look so depressed just now?"
When Wang Ling heard Su Yue mention this matter, the smile on her face faded slightly, and then she said without interest.
"After I finished my meal at noon, I rushed to the store immediately, cleaned the store and reopened it... After that, throughout the afternoon, so far, I have made one business in total."
Su Yue said in surprise, "Only one business deal?"
"Yes...otherwise why would I be a little depressed?" Wang Ling said.
Su Yue thought for a while and comforted herself, "It rained most of the afternoon, so it would be good to do some business.
Moreover, your flower shop has been closed for so long due to road construction. Those customers who came to buy flowers in the past may not know that your shop has reopened.
After a while, when those previous customers know that your flower shop has reopened, the business will definitely pick up..."
After hearing what Su Yue said, Wang Ling's depressed mood really improved a lot, "I hope it's as you said! Come on, let's find a place to have dinner."
