Whether it was day or night, the lighting in the house was never very good. At night, when the light was turned on, the dim yellow glow could make it feel somewhat cozy, but during the day, it was a bit dark. However, Lu Xin's mood was still very good.

His elegant and gentle mother had already laid out breakfast, which consisted of three bowls of plain porridge, with a dish containing a cut salted egg. Mother only ate a little of the egg white, leaving the oily yolk to Lu Xin and his sister. Lu Xin, in turn, gave most of it to his sister. Their father did not eat with them; he rarely entered the kitchen, and whenever he did, it always resulted in a big mess.

"Are you planning to go for that new job today?" Mother asked Lu Xin gently, as if chatting about household matters: "Are you ready?"

Although Lu Xin and his sister had not mentioned this matter since they returned, Mother seemed to know everything, just like always.

Lu Xin nodded in response: "I'm ready."

"Little Lu has really grown up," Mother said, looking at Lu Xin with a very pleased expression, and handed him a piece of egg white: "Working two jobs is hard, eat more!"

"Damn it, useless, just useless, knowing you're being exploited and still rushing into it!"

The sound of their father's dissatisfaction and cursing came from the kitchen, but everyone at the table pretended not to hear.

"The most useless one is you, getting deceived and not even knowing it..."

Father's voice got louder, his anger more intense.

Everyone at the table still acted as if they hadn't heard anything, just silently eating their meal.

"If you ask me, you should just chop them all to death!"

With a loud crash, the kitchen door was flung open, and father appeared in the living room. He stared intently at Lu Xin, cursing fiercely: 'Do you realize that yesterday they almost killed you? They never considered your life worth a damn, they had planned to let you die from the start, and even prepared to kill you?' 'If it weren't for that dead girl, you would have been killed by them already!' 'Clearly they almost killed you, why do you still help them with their tasks?' '...' As he spoke, he approached Lu Xin aggressively, his eyes bloodshot, the veins on his nearly protruding eyeballs filled with blood. 'The thing at the coffee shop, they did indeed do wrong...' Lu Xin silently ate his porridge, and only when he couldn't avoid it did he reply softly: 'But they paid...' Father was stunned by this answer. 'Waste, how can there be a waste like you?' Immediately after, his anger grew even greater, he cursed loudly, and suddenly reached out to grab Lu Xin. 'Whoosh...' Just as father was about to grab Lu Xin's shoulder, suddenly a bowl of plain porridge was splashed onto father's face. 'How dare you...' Father instantly looked at mother in a fury, fiercely wiping the porridge off his face. 'The real waste is you!' At this moment, mother sat elegantly and dignified in a chair, exuding a cold aura, looking disdainfully at father, and said: 'If it weren't for your incompetence and temper, how could we all be trapped here?' '...' 'Stinking bitch, you're asking for death, asking for death!'

The father seemed to be poked in the sore spot and suddenly roared loudly, then reached out his hand to grab his mother. But this time, the mother seemed uninterested, just coldly watching him, then gently extended two fingers. The enraged father seemed to be startled by this gesture and abruptly stopped. 'What do you mean?' 'Why are you making that gesture?' He actually became very cautious, lowering his voice and shouting fiercely. 'You know what it means.' The mother smiled gently and said, 'So if you're scared, just roll back to where you came from!' 'Waste, waste, all are damned wastes...' The father's anger seemed to be growing incessantly, and several times it seemed to break through the limit and completely lose his reason. And the mother just made that gesture, calmly watching him. In the end, the furious father actually held back. He just suddenly started ranting wildly, overturning the dining table like a madman, pulling down the ceiling fan, damaging the kitchen cabinet next to it, crushing a glass cup, then his bloodshot bulging eyes fiercely swept over Lu Xin, his mother, and his sister, and finally, while cursing, he retreated to the kitchen. 'It's alright now.' The mother elegantly stood up, straightened Lu Xin's collar, and said tenderly, 'Do your own thing, it's very important.' 'I know.' Lu Xin was silent for a while before saying softly, 'Thank you!' 'Silly child, we're all family, why say thank you?'

His mother gently tapped him and said with a smile, 'But you must remember, no matter who you meet, you must be polite and reason with others!'

As she spoke, she gently smoothed her hair and smiled again: 'Of course, when we talk reason with others, they should also talk reason with us. You are so honest and would never harm anyone, but if someone wants to bully you...' Lu Xin looked up at his mother with a wary expression. Her smile appeared gentle and considerate: 'Then the whole family will go find him together...' Lu Xin felt a tingling on his scalp, but he just sighed softly. For the sake of others' safety, he really couldn't let himself be bullied... ... Lu Xin, as usual, arrived at the office forty minutes before the official start of work. Throughout the day, he conscientiously dealt with all the various reports and documents assigned to him, but subconsciously, he sped up, even skipping lunch, so that by the time evening came and it was time to leave work, he had finished all his tasks and was the first to pick up his backpack and leave his desk. He didn't stay late to work overtime as he usually did, because he now had other things to do. Last night, he had carefully reviewed the materials Chen Jing had left for him, gaining a certain understanding of his new job. What he focused on was the salary and allowances. He knew that if he received a notice from Chen Jing, he must immediately go to the designated location, follow their instructions, and deal with the pollution incident, but if nothing special happened to him throughout the month, he could still receive his salary. The most important thing was that he could get a subsidy for each pollution incident handled. This money was the big money, ranging from ten thousand to thirty thousand, and there were even targets marked as one hundred thousand. Lu Xin was very motivated in this regard, so he decided to do this job well. Seek opportunities, treat them seriously, work hard, and get promoted soon. He brought his credentials, and packed the satellite phone and gun in his backpack, stepping out onto the street. He took his sister out on patrol.
