Chapter 220: The Power Outage Farce and the Exploration of the Slums. [219]



Summary

In this chapter, Jing Zhe and Orson face a series of appliance malfunctions in Jing Zhe's home, leading to comedic and chaotic situations. Orson tries to suggest that Jing Zhe’s use of appliances might be the cause, but she refuses to accept that blame. A sudden explosion from the air conditioner proves that electrical issues stem partly from the local voltage differences. Despite the breakdowns, Orson reassures her and takes charge, arranging to repair the damaged appliances and suggesting they buy temporary replacements. As they sort through the mess, their conversation shifts to Jing Zhe's work as an inspector from the Yan Nation's Dali Temple, aimed at investigating mafia activity in Longmen. Ultimately, she reveals her identity and the reason for her visit, sharing that she has been gathering intel about a missing witness connected to the mafia. Orson expresses admiration for her investigative skills, and Jing Zhe, in turn, acknowledges his support. She proposes that he be her temporary assistant, which he willingly accepts, delighting in the new role. After obtaining the necessary permissions, they review her findings and learn about a suspect who disappeared into the slums. Orson convinces her that he can help locate the suspect, despite her initial worries about the dangers of the slums. The chapter also explores the atmosphere of the slums, where Jing Zhe is surprised to find a complex social order among its inhabitants, contrasting with her expectations of chaos. Orson introduces her to some local contacts, setting the stage for potential developments in their investigation into the witness’s disappearance.
