Before making this call to Xu Mo, Han Fei guessed that Xu Mo would refuse his offer.
So he prepared several persuasive arguments.
Moreover, Han Fei had already decided that even if it took some coaxing and trickery, he had to lure Xu Mo into joining the police force!
It was because the various skills Xu Mo had demonstrated recently were too impressive to ignore.
Such a person couldn't be left to his own devices; they had to find a way to get him to join the police.
After all, if Xu Mo ever got triggered and started actually committing crimes someday, it would surely give them as police officers a massive headache.
However, what Han Fei didn't expect was that all the persuasive arguments he had prepared before making the call turned out to be completely unnecessary.
He had only just begun by asking Xu Mo if he was willing to join the police force and work with them to fight crime.
To his surprise, Xu Mo readily agreed.
Hearing this answer, Han Fei was a bit stunned.
"Huh? You're... willing to join us?"
It's worth noting that in Han Fei's imagination, there was a high probability that Xu Mo would directly refuse his proposal.
After all, Xu Mo had already earned wealth through his TV show that most people couldn't achieve in a lifetime.
The chances of an office worker wanting to go back to work after suddenly becoming rich were undoubtedly very low.
"Of course I'm willing," Xu Mo said with a smile. "It's about serving the people! How could I not be willing?"
To be honest, Xu Mo hadn't expected Han Fei to extend this olive branch to him either.
It was truly a case of getting exactly what he needed at the perfect moment.
Was there even a need to ask if he was willing to join the police force?
Of course he was willing!
After all, joining the police meant he would have access to cases that ordinary citizens couldn't touch, or even know about.
A police officer who could access various cases was much more likely to encounter criminals than an ordinary citizen.
Being able to encounter criminals meant being able to arrest them.
And arresting criminals meant rewards!
Moreover, Xu Mo hadn't planned on just lying around after getting rich. Even if Han Fei hadn't offered him this opportunity, he was planning to find something to do.
People tend to waste away if they just lie around doing nothing all the time.
"Captain Han, when can I report to the police station? Are there any cases recently? I can't wait to start solving crimes!" Xu Mo said excitedly.
Han Fei: "???"
He had a feeling that Xu Mo's intentions weren't entirely pure!
But... Han Fei couldn't be bothered to figure out what Xu Mo's true motives were.
Whatever, as long as Xu Mo was willing to join the police force, that was good enough.
After a brief pause, Han Fei spoke up.
"Where do you think we're going to get so many cases for you to solve? Do you think you're Detective Conan, with people dropping dead wherever you go? This is a society governed by law and order. We're lucky if we even get a petty theft case these days."
"Also," Han Fei continued, "not just anyone can become a police officer. There are qualifications. So I've applied to the higher-ups to create a special consultant position for you. Once we get back to Ram City, we can process your employment. You can shadow me, and I'll show you the ropes."
"No cases? That's no fun..." Xu Mo's tone was somewhat disappointed.
He even started to reconsider whether he should join the police force at all.
In crime dramas on TV, various murder and kidnapping cases followed one after another.
Who knew Han Fei would tell him there weren't that many cases for him to solve.
This was quite different from what he had seen in TV dramas!
He had been counting on solving cases, catching criminals, and getting rewards.
If there were no big cases, small ones would do. He wouldn't turn his nose up at catching petty thieves.
But if there were no cases at all, what was the point of joining the police force?
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Fei interrupted him.
"Hold on a second, I've got another call coming in. Let me take this, and we'll talk more later."
"Alright," Xu Mo replied.
After saying a quick word to Xu Mo, Han Fei hung up and answered the incoming call.
This call was from the Jiangcheng City Police Department.
Right off the bat, they gave Han Fei some exciting news - there was a major case!
It was a body-dumping case, and the perpetrator's methods were extremely brutal.
To prevent another victim, the higher-ups had given strict orders to bring the perpetrator to justice within a week.
Solving a case within a week was no small challenge.
But there was no choice; the orders had come down.
No matter how difficult, they had to work under pressure.
The Jiangcheng police almost immediately thought of Han Fei, the experienced criminal investigation team leader. With the idea that more hands make light work, they planned to ask for his help in investigating the case.
With the help of Han Fei, an experienced criminal investigation team leader, the investigation might progress much faster.
"What did you say? A body-dumping case?" Han Fei's mind went blank for a moment.
He had just told Xu Mo that there weren't many major cases to solve.
At most, they might occasionally encounter a petty thief.
Who knew... that he would be proven wrong so quickly, with a major case appearing out of nowhere!
Was Xu Mo some kind of good luck charm?
Did everything he said come true?
"Yes, a body-dumping case. The higher-ups are putting pressure on us, demanding that we arrest the perpetrator within a week. So I wanted to ask, Captain Han, are you available? If you are, would it be possible for you to lend a hand?" the voice on the phone explained.
"I'm available. Just give me the address, and I'll head over right away," Han Fei replied without a second thought.
With the TV show wrapped up and the matter of arresting Xu Mo concluded, Han Fei did indeed have some free time.
Moreover, he was more than willing to help solve cases.
Firstly, as a police officer himself, investigating cases and catching criminals were part of his duties.
Secondly, now that the Jiangcheng police were asking for his help, how could he stand idly by?
It's worth noting that when he first arrived in Jiangcheng and explained his situation to the local police, they didn't hesitate to assign several available officers to help him arrest Xu Mo and other fugitives.
Now that the Jiangcheng police needed his help, it was only right for him to lend a hand, both morally and professionally.
After getting the location where the body was found from the Jiangcheng police, Han Fei prepared to set out with the remaining three members of the pursuit team to offer their assistance.
At this moment, Chen Ke made a suggestion to Han Fei.
"Captain Han, why don't we bring Xu Mo along? Didn't he say he wanted to investigate cases?"
"Let's not," Han Fei shook his head. "He hasn't officially started working yet, and besides, I'm worried the sight of a dumped body might be too much for him. He just agreed to join us, what if it scares him off? Let's take it slow."
Seeing that Han Fei wasn't agreeing, Chen Ke continued to persuade him.
"Captain Han, I don't think Xu Mo is that fragile. If he could be scared off so easily, he wouldn't be Xu Mo. Besides, this case is a perfect opportunity for you to show him your professional skills. That way, he'll respect you more, which will make it easier for you to mentor him in the future. You know major cases don't come along often. If we miss this chance, who knows when the next one will be? What if he goes to the Ram City Police Department and doesn't listen to you... even if you want to teach him, you won't be able to do it effectively."
Hearing this, Han Fei suddenly felt that Chen Ke's words made sense.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to give Xu Mo a call.
"Didn't you say you wanted to participate in solving cases? Well, a case has just come up. It's a body-dumping case. Are you interested? ... Alright, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Give me your address. We're about to head to the scene, and we'll pick you up on the way."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
