Title: There is only a thousand year of hatred, not a hundred year of closeness

Jiang Xiaoning couldn't open the door to Xin Muran's office and kicked it open, but when he entered, he found no one was there.

He rushed out in spitting anger, went next door once more, and even checked the balcony—Xin Muran sometimes went there to smoke.

When he was met with the completely empty balcony, Jiang Xiaoning frowned and wondered where to exactly find the person himself.

"Do you want to give me a new door that badly?"

A cold voice came from behind, Jiang Xiaoning turned around to see Xin Muran standing behind him, looking at him with his usually expressionless face.

If he wasn't wearing a shoddy cotton T-shirt, filthy jeans, running shoes where the original colors could not be seen, or even greasy hair, the expression would have been quite imposing.

Jiang Xiaoning narrowed his eyes to look at him and asked, "Who are you going to shadow?"

Xin Muran's expression did not fluctuate at all: "You don't have the authority to ask me this question."

Jiang Xiaoning advanced a few steps and looked down arrogantly at him before speaking in a cold tone. "Now that Ah-Dong has taken over your squad, you must have not taken charge of your tasks for two years, right? Not only did you attend to your personal affairs this time, but you have also stayed out all day. If you say that it is not for personal affairs, who would believe it?"

There were no changes in Xin Muran's voice whatsoever: "You don't have the authority to ask me this question."

Jiang Xiaoning swung his fist toward his face.

Xin Muran's expertise was in infiltration, undercover, driving wedges between (allies and partners), disseminating rumors, and inciting emotions. He was very good at them. Jiang Xiaoning had never seen him fight with others, let alone fight him in close combat.

He didn't dare to be careless, thus, when he swung at him, he was already very cautious. Then, employing all sorts of tricks, he was able to put Xin Muran's hand behind his back.

"Bastard!"1 He reviled, "You dare say that the matter with Yu Xiujun wasn't instigated by you?"

Although Xin Muran was restrained, his imposing manner was not weakened, and even his voice remained calm: "I said, you have underestimated me."

"Don't play dumb with me." Jiang Xiaoning twisted his harm even harder, "Why can't find her at all?"

Xin Muran was quiet for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, there was contempt in his voice. "You can't find her, and just suspect me?"

Before Jiang Xiaoning could reply, he coldly said: "So, you still haven't given up and actually did this kind of attempt."

Jiang Xiaoning snorted: "Until I've taken the last step, I won't accept 'odd jobs'."

"Unfortunately, you have no other choice." Xin Muran suddenly stiffened his body, and his shoulder struck the pit of Jiang Xiaoning's stomach. When Jiang Xiaoning retreated a step, he took the chance to break free from him and rubbed his shoulder while saying, "Seeing how angry you've gotten, you must have reached the last step."

Jiang Cheng fiercely looked at him and didn't speak.

Xin Muran continued: "The cost for repairing the door will be deducted from your salary. You can go upstairs to find Lao Si now and ask about the specific situation of your "odd jobs"."
