Why it never ends

Chapter 1122 Police Officer

Stella staggered and tried to help Pakat up, but she lost her balance. Fortunately, Hesta grabbed her shoulders and she did not fall.

"I'll do it, I'll do it," Ximoya stood up, "You all continue eating, I'll go with Teacher Pakat."

There was a strong wind outside the door, and the sudden night wind made Ximoya shiver.

"Why is the wind so strong——"

"It might rain," Hesta said.

Victoria was in the driver's seat of the car with the headlights on, illuminating the path between the studio and the main road.

After helping Pakat into the car, Hesta went back to the passenger seat.

The engine started, and Ximoya tilted her head: "...Who is the person coming today? Can you two go together to pick him up?"

Without waiting for the two mercury needles to answer, Ximoya looked back at Pakat: "Are your two students also famous educators?"

"Not really famous," Pakat replied. She looked at Hesta in a strange way, "Why did you go together to pick him up?"

"Oh, we're not here for your two students," Victoria replied, smiling, "but an old friend of ours is here too."

"Who?" asked Ximoya.

"A police officer."

……

At the farm gate, Si Lei and his two companions got out of the car and stood facing the farm road, looking inside.

After a while, Si Lei used a flashlight to illuminate the sign at the entrance, and the two people beside her also glanced sideways at the same time.

“…many women’s farms.”

Several people laughed - what a great name!

A car horn sounded in the distance. Hesta stuck his head out and waved at Si Lei: "Si Lei——!"

Si Lei turned off the flashlight and walked forward.

After the car stopped, Hesta jumped out quickly and asked, "How did you get here together? Do you know each other?"

"No, we met on the road and took the same boat." Si Lei replied, "The three of us just happened to be the only three people from District 14. We chatted for a while and then came together."

"It's impossible to make a phone call in the city!" said the woman next to him. "There's no signal on either the mobile or landline phones. Fortunately, Officer Si Lei was able to requisition the communication facilities in the Mercury Needle Workstation. Otherwise, we don't know how long we'll be stranded in the city."

"Have you had dinner?"

"I've already eaten!"

"Okay, if you're hungry, you can come and eat together." Hesta glanced at Si Lei's car not far away - it was also a car provided by the workstation, "Let's go, get in the car, and follow us -"

Before Hesta could finish, the two middle-aged men who came with Si Lei immediately shouted in unison: "Teacher! Long time no see!"

Hesta turned around and Pakat got off the car steadily with the help of Ximoya. They immediately hugged each other, and Pakat hugged them tightly, his eyes moist.

Hesta smiled. She had actually forgotten that in such an occasion, she must have a few words first. Her eyes inadvertently swept across Victoria's face, and she was suddenly attracted by the serious and concerned expression on her face. Victoria looked at Si Lei seriously, with strong surprise, worry, and a little bit of helplessness in her eyes.

Unlike Hesta, Victoria had never seen Si Lei's condition in District 14. In Hesta's opinion, Si Lei's complexion was much better than last year, but Victoria's impression of Si Lei still remained at the end of the assassination case - she was always energetic at that time, and her eyes often revealed a certain sharpness at critical moments. Tonight, Si Lei's eyes were still bright and firm, but her whole body became thin and dry. When she gave Hesta and herself a silent smile, Victoria immediately felt a kind of fatigue, as if the person in front of her had not rested for a long time.

Such a Si Lei also quickly reminded Victoria of an old tree that had had too many branches pruned off in the winter.

"...What's wrong with you?" For the first time, Victoria didn't joke with her long-lost friend, but stepped forward and held Si Lei's shoulders. "You look like you've been hunted by your enemies for the past two years - are you sick, Si Lei?"

Si Lei smiled as she did before. She brushed Victoria's hand away and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. I'm really a little tired. I have to rest early tonight. But three people suddenly came. Is there enough space here?"

"You can have my bed. I'll sleep on the floor." Victoria said, "The situation these two days is special. We have to squeeze in. It will be fine after a while."

"There's no need to be so——"

Not far away, Ximoya honked the car horn. Several people looked back and found that Ximoya had sat in the driver's seat at some point.

"Why don't you three get in the same car?" Ximoya said, "It's just right that the teacher and the student can continue to talk along the way."

"Okay, that's great." Victoria opened the car door, "Come on in."

Along the way, Victoria talked about the current staffing situation on the farm - it was almost a replica of what it was like in Tan Yi back then, and there were more people than before, and they were more complete.

"You know, Sophie is here too!" Victoria said, "She is different now. She has really grown up and is very reliable in doing things."

"Sophie?" Si Lei was stunned for a moment. "Oh, the daughter of the Villefort family?"

“Not a daughter, is she? She calls Uncle Villefort.”

"Oh, yes." Si Lei nodded, "When she was with the Duke's family, she felt like a parent and daughter..."

Si Lei glanced at Hesta - Victoria didn't know what happened back then, but she did. Moreover, Hesta was also bearing the news of Qianye's death, so he probably had a hard time...

"How are you?" Si Lei looked at Hesta. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah." Hesta yawned. She finally felt a little sleepy at this moment, so she closed her eyes. "Everything is good. I'll take you around the farm tomorrow morning."

……

late at night.

Simoya and Pakat's two students sorted out their identity documents and sent them to the main house. At first, she thought that most people here should be asleep, but when she pushed the door open, she found that the dining table in the living room on the first floor was full of people - everyone was chatting.

Almost all the mercury needles were there, and the police officer named Si Lei was also there.

Simonya's words made them suddenly realize the time. Victoria looked down at her watch and began to utter "ouch" continuously.

"It's twelve o'clock!" Victoria stood up and said, "Go to bed."

"What are you doing here?" Si Lei looked at Ximoya.

"I'm here to deliver two documents to Jane. Here are some materials that need her and Lai Lin to sign." Ximoya looked around. "Where is she?"

"She went to the bathroom and will be back soon," Si Lei took the materials, "I'll give it to her for you."

"I haven't asked you yet, are you..."

"I came here because of the assassin that appeared in District 12," Si Lei extended his hand to Ximoya, "I was also involved in the assassin's last crime in Tan Yi... No, I mean, I was also involved in the investigation."
