The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

"Master, a friendly reminder, long-term exploitation of child labor can easily lead to an intelligent machine crisis." Xiao Qi replaced the synthesized voice with a cute little loli voice.

Shen Ge said with a wooden face: "Child laborer, how old are you?"

"Master, two and a half years old."

Uh?
It seems that there is something wrong with this statement. Xiaoqi has only been around for about two and a half years since its birth, and in the field of artificial intelligence, it can be considered a senior AI who has practiced for two and a half years.

Jingjing, who had been waiting on the side, saw that Shen Ge's mood had improved, and brought the freshly brewed coffee over: "Master, your mood seems to be much better?"

Shen Ge took the coffee and rubbed Jingjing's head. "Thanks to you for waking me up from my dream. Anyway, the end of the world has come. It can't get any worse. It's a day of sadness and a day of happiness, right?"

"Yes." Jingjing smiled back.

thump.

thump.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Ge knew that Zhao Helei and others had come without looking, because when he was thinking about the "dream fragments" problem, classmate Xiao Qi controlled the blood spider to monitor Zhao Helei and others in real time.

"Brother Shen, did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Chong was standing at the door, while Zhao Helei and several others were standing behind, all looking sleepy.

Jiang Chong's friend elbowed him: "What are you talking about? Brother Shen always brings sisters with him wherever he goes. How can he sleep well tonight? I also called two last night. Look at my panda eyes... Alas, Brother Shen is still good at having fun. She is pure and innocent, not as bad as those business girls last night."

Jiang Chong and his friends are used to making dirty jokes, and Zhao Helei often hangs out with them, so they are not surprised.

"Hey, stop talking. I ordered too many cookies last night and now my waist is about to break. Oh, my old waist."

"Haha, biting off more than you can chew, I was smart and chose the one with a baby face, one is better than several, and it won't break your waist."

"Why waste your waist? Can't you just let them sit on it and move by themselves?"

"..."

A few people started chatting with each other, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. They walked into the house and sat down, talking and laughing.

The hotel that Zhao Helei found was very famous in the entire inner city area. In addition, in order to "win over" Shen Ge, he had chosen a suite for him.

The living room of this kind of suite is usually used for parties, small circle dances, etc. Not to mention just a few of them, even ten more people could be seated.

"Brother Shen, I remember you mentioned last night that you came to Xinhai to expand your processing plant business, right?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Zhao Helei interrupted the jokes of several people and brought the topic to the point. He also wanted to take the opportunity to find out more information from Shen Ge.

Shen Ge nodded and said, "That's right. In the apocalypse, resources have become the most important part of human survival. But the weirdness is transformed from animals, so in the meat processing sector, it is usually the forces that control the city that are directly involved. But Commander Zhao, you should know that as long as it involves resource processing in the apocalypse, people will definitely make a lot of money."

"Unfortunately, as the capital of the Great Celestial Empire, Xinjing is the most well-equipped and well-prepared even if a disaster strikes. As far as I know, at the beginning of the disaster, the country's largest 'military resource reserve bases' were in Dajing, which prevented the disaster from having much impact on Xinjing."

"After the outbreak of the strange disaster, resources were in short supply everywhere. The first thing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches did after taking over Xinjing was to vigorously support several granary bases in the surrounding areas. Because of this, the fact that Xinhai secretly planted spies and caused the East District granary base to fall caused the anger of the Xinjing high-level officials, and they specially sent two captains of the 12th detachment to lead the team to Xinhai to question the crime."

"After I learned about this, I immediately arranged for someone to contact my former connections in the 12th Squadron and have them infiltrate the peace negotiation team."

"Xinjing has sufficient granary bases, and the processing business is struggling. But as far as I know, the food processing business in Xinhai City is not monopolized by the association. On the contrary, it is outsourced to several people in the city. As for me, I am also half a Xinhai person, so I want to take this opportunity to come to Xinhai to try my luck."

Before Shen Ge left Xinjing, Yin Hu had arranged an identity for him. With the help of Jiang Chong's parents, his identity was perfect.

However, Zhao Helei caught some information from his words that Shen Ge "deliberately revealed to him" and asked with a smile: "Oh? Brother Shen is also from Xinhai? But why is it half?"

At this time, Jingjing came over with the brewed tea. After she served it to Zhao Helei and others, Shen Ge pulled her over and asked Jingjing to sit next to him.

"Has Commander Zhao ever heard of the name 'Li Shuhua'?" Shen Ge asked.

When Zhao Helei heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Jingjing who was beside Shen Ge, and then looked at An An who had just come out of the room and sat on the other side of Shen Ge, and suddenly he realized.

"Brother Shen, are you talking about Li Shuhua, the chairman of Xinhai Li's Food Processing Factory?" Zhao Helei was obviously asking a question that he knew the answer to, as if he wanted Shen Ge to explain his motives himself.

Upon hearing this name, everyone present, except Zhao Helei, Jiang Chong and his two friends, seemed to be thinking about something, and it was obvious that they had also heard of this name.

An An and Jing Jing were also surprised, because the name Shen Ge mentioned was exactly the father of the two sisters.

Shen Ge took the initiative to say such a thing as motivation, and nodded: "That's right."

Zhao Helei said: "The Xinhai Li's Food Processing Factory under Li Shuhua's name was once one of the five largest food processing factories in Xinhai City. He also owned several ranches and farms, and was considered a well-known businessman in Xinhai City. However, Li Shuhua unfortunately died in an accident a few years ago, and the Xinhai Li's was slowly divided up by the clan members. It has been on a downward trend for two consecutive years, and several assets have been sold, and it has never recovered since then."

As he spoke, his eyes stayed on An An and Jing Jing: "I heard that Li Shuhua had two beautiful twin daughters. After his death, they disappeared. I don't know..."

Shen Ge nodded immediately: "Yes, they are Li Shuhua's daughters. I came to Xinhai this time, on the one hand to expand the business of the food processing factory, and on the other hand to investigate Li Shuhua's death and find their mother."

Zhao Helei frowned and said, "Brother Shen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Li Shuhua's death was not an accident, and there is another hidden story?"

Shen Ge said: "That's right. This matter started when the captain of the 12th team, 'Zi Shu', visited Xinhai City last time."

According to the intelligence that Yinhu had investigated for Shen Ge, Zishu had some kind of secret deal with the top management of Xinhai Li Group. In addition, he had his eyes on the sisters An An and Jingjing. The top management of Xinhai Li Group had long wanted to kick Li Shuhua out and divide Xinhai Li Group.

So the two parties hit it off and reached a cooperation. Zishu colluded with the people of Xinhai City Association to secretly eliminate Li Shuhua. The senior executives of Xinhai Li took the opportunity to divide Xinhai Li, and then sent the two sisters Anan and Jingjing to the club in Xinjing to be presented to Zishu. Zhao Helei said in a deep voice: "Is what Brother Shen said true?"

It’s no wonder that Zhao Helei was so surprised, but the information provided by Shen Ge was too shocking.

Although Xinjing and Xinhai have a cooperative relationship, they will send captain-level personnel to "visit" each other every once in a while. To put it nicely, it is a visit, but to put it bluntly, it is mutual surveillance.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches do not want the Monster Association to develop, and the latter does not want the former to dominate the market.

Each of them has their own thoughts, so the most taboo thing for the monster organizations on both sides is for their organized members to cooperate with each other in private.

If someone like the Rat does not report the situation truthfully, it means he or she has a rebellious heart.

As the deputy commander of the security department, Zhao Helei’s job is to maintain the city’s security on the one hand, and to prevent anyone in Xinhai City from secretly colluding with people in Xinjing on the other.

This is why even though Shen Ge had Jiang Chong as a guarantor, Zhao Helei still listed him as a suspect and kept a close eye on his movements.

"Of course, I was a fighter in the Rat Brigade back then, and I had long been fed up with his style of doing things. But unfortunately, I was not strong enough, so I could only find an opportunity to rescue them in secret. If Commander Zhao wants to verify what I said, he can just check according to the intelligence I provided." Shen Ge said seriously.

Zhao Helei was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Brother Shen, don't worry, if the information you provided is true, it will be of great help to me. I will arrange for my trusted men to investigate this matter. If it is true, I will definitely give justice to the Li family."

"Then I'll have to trouble Commander Zhao to take care of it." Shen Ge said.

Zhao Helei said seriously, "Hey, I sincerely admire Brother Shen. I only communicated with Brother Shen twice yesterday and today, and I learned two important pieces of information. Brother Shen wants to develop a food processing factory in Xinhai. I will inquire for you and find a trustworthy partner for you."

"But..."

Zhao Helei looked at An An and Jing Jing and continued, "I don't think we need to take this detour. Since the daughter of Xinhai Li is already yours, Brother Shen, then as long as there is a hidden truth in the Li Shuhua incident, the assets divided among their families will be considered illegal gains. When the time comes, they will be returned to the two young ladies. The ranch, breeding farm and processing plant will all be ready, and Brother Shen's business will be able to start."

Shen Ge smiled and nodded: "I thought so at first, but I just arrived in Xinhai and I'm unfamiliar with the place, so I didn't know where to start. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet a great man like Commander Zhao. If I can develop in Xinhai, I will never forget Commander Zhao's kindness today."

"Hey, Brother Shen, it's too polite for you to say that." Zhao Helei waved his hand in a humble manner.

Jiang Chong also chimed in, "That's right, Old Shen, you are treating our Brother Zhao as an outsider. We are all brothers, who would care about these things?"

"Hahaha, I'm superficial. I'll drink tea instead of wine to apologize to Brother Zhao." Shen Ge smiled, raised the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Helei also took a sip of the teacup, then looked at Shen Ge and said, "Brother Shen, something happened in the Outer Ring District yesterday. I've been so busy these past two days that I have to go back to the bureau soon. But don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. Let Jiang Chong take you around Xinhai and get familiar with it. As for the Xinhai Li's matter, don't worry. Give me two days and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhao." Shen Ge had originally wanted to wait until Yin Hu and others arrived and Xin Jing's plan began to be implemented, and then secretly help An An and Jing Jing investigate the Li family's affairs.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chong gave him an unexpected surprise and made him meet a person named Zhao Helei by chance.

Based on the principle of not taking advantage of an opportunity, it is a bastard to take advantage of it, so people like Zhao Helei who have power and influence in Xinhai will naturally make good use of it.

Besides, handing the Xinhai Li family's matter over to Zhao Helei, the "deputy commander" of the Security Bureau, would make the investigation much more efficient, so saying that it would take two days was an understatement on his part.

After the group came out of the hotel, Zhao Helei arranged several cars to take Shen Ge and others to a famous restaurant in the inner city for lunch, and he drove back to the Security Bureau alone.

Although Jiang Chong is from the outer city district and his parents also live there, he also owns real estate in the inner city district thanks to his work and Zhao Helei's reputation.

If it weren't for the fact that "the parents didn't want to", they would have been brought to the inner city area long ago to enjoy the life of the "upper class".

But Jiang Chong probably never dreamed that his parents were spies sent from Xinjing, and that they had sent the "spies" into the inner city through him.

Jiang Chong arranged a large flat in the inner city for Shen Ge and the other two to live in first. For the next three days, he took them to Xinhai City to eat, drink and have fun under the pretext of inspecting various places.

On the third day, Jiang Chong conveyed a message on behalf of Zhao Helei, saying that through investigation of the Xinhai Li family's affairs, it has been confirmed that several senior executives have secretly colluded with Xinjing.

But the above meant that Zhao Helei should not alert the enemy first, because the peace negotiation team from Xinjing will soon arrive in Xinhai. Xinhai City is in the wrong regarding the granary base. In order to avoid Xinjing asking for too much, they want to use the Xinhai Li family as bargaining chips to negotiate with Xinjing about the granary base.

The general meaning is that although we have planted spies on your side, you are not "clean" either, and we have also planted spies on Xinhai's side.

Everyone knows it tacitly. If you want to take this opportunity to make Xinhai "cede land and pay compensation", forget it. At most, they will get some small profits.

Shen Ge didn't care about the division of Xinhai Li's property. He asked Zhao Helei to find out the whereabouts of An An and Jing Jing's mother.

At the same time, he also derived another very important piece of information from the information provided by Zhao Helei, that is, the peace negotiation team from Xinjing would arrive in Xinhai in two days.

Shen Ge even wondered if Yin Hu would be surprised to see him standing in the reception team for the Xinjing exchange group if he came.

After all, according to the original plan of the 12th Team, it would take Shen Ge at least a month to enter the inner city area.

However, not only did he get in, it only took him one day. Ethan and Bond would have to admit defeat with such efficiency.

Zhao Helei called Jiang Chong at noon and said that he had found out the whereabouts of the mother of An An and Jing Jing sisters, and asked Jiang Chong to take them to the "high tower".

Ever since Jingjing mentioned to Shen Ge that there was also a "high tower" type building in Xinhai, and that it had been expanded compared to two years ago, Shen Ge had been looking for an opportunity to check it out.

I didn't expect that the opportunity would come to me before I took any action! (End of this chapter)
