Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 19

You Zhengping rushed to the police station, which was outwardly his official post. He received his outfit and police-issue motor scooter and zoomed off to the base. He had been adequately trained in maintaining secrecy. All his actions had to fit the reasons he had thought of. If he said he was going to work overtime, he had to go to the police station to go through the formalities. This wasn't only for the sake of concealing his identity; it could also keep his family from being spotted by Destroyers.

With every department cooperating to the best of their abilities, Lian Yufan was extremely fast. In a few hours, he had turned up a big heap of materials. There were three piles laid out on Director Xiao's desk. One pile was Yu Hua's report cards and academic records from his time at school; Lian Yufan had classified these as unimportant and had stacked them together. 

One pile was a record of all major events in Yu Hua's life since going to work and getting married. The final pile was the report on the investigation into what had happened since Yu Hua had lost his job. These fifteen days contained more material than the previous fifteen years. Next to the three piles of materials was a small box.

You Zhengping had shaken hands and made up with Lian Yufan right in front of Director Xiao earlier that day. Naturally he couldn't step up and punch Lian Yufan. He had to force down his anger and say, "Where did you put the nanotech listening device?"

Lian Yufan pressed on the webbing between his fingers. "I put it there when we shook hands."

You Zhengping squeezed the base of his right thumb, rubbing off the new-type listening device firmly stuck to the webbing. He gave the listening device to Lian Yufan and went to the desk. He picked up the first pile of materials and quickly ran his eyes over Yu Hua's report cards.

Before age twelve, Yu Hua hadn't come to this world yet. The identity was one the System had forged for him according to his wish. Yu Hua had wanted to live an ordinary life, so the System had given him grades that were steadily at the bottom of the class. 

After arriving, Yu Hua had thought that grades at the bottom of the class were too eye-catching and didn't fit his future position in life, so he had gradually raised them, keeping himself in the top ten of his class and the top one-hundred of his grade.

These grades wouldn't get him too much attention, and they weren't so excessively low that he wouldn't be able to test into university. But Yu Hua had been attending the Xuyang District's key primary school. These grades had narrowly gotten him into the key middle school. 

On coming to middle school, he'd been near the bottom of the class again and had had to make fewer mistakes, until he was in the class's top ten. But many people from key middle schools went on to key high schools. He had once again squeaked by and tested into a key high school, where he was again near the bottom of the class. 

When he had once again raised his grades to the top one-hundred of his grade, Yu Hua had discovered that over a hundred people from their high school tested into one of the top two universities each year.

This time, no matter what, Yu Hua hadn't wanted to test into too good of a school. He had just managed to test into the top three university. You Zhengping silently hugged the report cards.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to steal the results of my investigation?" Lian Yufan, noticing what he was doing, said guardedly.

"Bah!" You Zhengping said. "I've never seen my husband's report cards before. Are you telling me I can't get copies to frame?"

"Decide whether you want copies after you've read my report," Lian Yufan said coldly, handing You Zhengping a photocopy of the investigation report.
