Chapter 10 - Can I Keep It Secret For Now? (2/2)

Lu Jia’er had three courses a week. Today, there was no course. Su Han asked her to accompany her to the bookstore to buy books.

On the way, Lu Jia’er received a phone call from an important person, He Yao, who was director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

“Mr. He!” Lu Jia’er addressed him respectfully.

“I’ve heard from the sub-bureau about a report stating that you stepped up and rescued a girl!” Mr. He said over the telephone line.

“I just happened to be there!” Lu Jia’er replied coolly.

Mr. He knew Lu Jia’er had a cool personality, but he called her out of curiosity.

“Saving people is a good deed!” said He. “But you must pay more attention to safety!”

Lu Jia’er asked, “Mr. He, do you want to know what I said to the criminal?”

Since his intention was seen through, he asked straightforwardly, “What did you say to the criminal to make him give himself up!”

“Mr. He, can I keep it secret for now?” Lu Jia’er became mischievous.

Mr. He couldn’t help laughing. “You’re a knowing card. Well, I will attend your course when you come to the bureau for training!”

“Mr. He, my humble class does not deserve your presence! I will tell you now!” Lu Jia’er smiled.

“No, no, Jia’er, I mean you should come to our bureau and serve as a crimes consultant in psychology!”

“I appreciate your kind favor but I am not fit for the job as consultant!” Lu Jia’er refused mildly.

“I am afraid that our great professor might despise my little bureau!”

“Mr. He, don’t make fun of me!” Lu Jia’er said.

“I’m not making fun of you. It’s a sincere invitation!” Mr. He said earnestly.

Lu Jia’er knew that Mr. He was as crafty as an old fox. He had asked her to perform psychology training for the staff at the Municipal Public Security Bureau with the intention to let her join their criminal investigation brigade in the first place. Lu Jia’er knew that fighting criminals and protecting people was a noble profession with which her knowledge and the talent to listen to others’ voices within could be used to their full extent. But if she joined, her “natural talent” might end up making her the eventual target of investigation.
