Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Zalak gently patted the seat next to her, meaning, "Sit here, sit next to me, closer to me."

Having just experienced the sudden attack from Texas a few hours earlier, Mike suddenly became wary of close contact.

Who says boys are safe outside?

Who says it's dangerous for a girl to be alone with a man and a woman in a room?

He's so stupid; he almost got into trouble with Texas today.

Seeing that Mike hadn't moved, Lin Yuxia silently exhaled and said softly, "Mr. Mike, please."

at this point.

Mike got into the car dejectedly.

It seems he cannot escape this fate.

Lin Yuxia was wearing her usual black top today. The fabric was smooth and had a beautiful sheen under the light, which complemented her pretty pink hair. She had tied her hair in a long ponytail and wore a patterned headband that Mike had bought for her a long time ago.

She leaned back gently against the chair, her long legs wrapped in thin black stockings and crossed, her feet in high-heeled boots. As Mike sat down, she shifted her toes slightly toward the man.

"What's wrong? Did my visit to pick you up today upset you?"

"Not at all. I am honored that Miss Lin came to my rescue."

Lin Yuxia pursed her thin lips, a look of grievance flashing in her eyes.

"You can tell me if there's anything I did wrong."

Mike glanced up at the driver, a woman named Pelosi, whose face was mostly covered by sunglasses. Even when Lin Yuxia said such ambiguous things, her expression did not change.

It seems that Miss Lin brought a trusted confidante with her when she went out.

Having figured this out, Mike began to worry immensely about his future.

Why do all the female demons want to eat this piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh, which is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair?

He sighed, "It's not bad at all, Miss Lin. I have no way to repay your kindness."

19. Lin Yuxia is going to be in trouble.

"Will you repay me in the next life, or will you repay me with your body in this life?"

See, once Lin Yuxia starts talking, Mike has no choice but to respond.

This phrase used to describe a young woman who had been saved by a benefactor. If the benefactor was a handsome young man, she would likely repay him with her body. If it was the other way around, it would become, "Sir, you have done me a great favor, and I will repay you in my next life."

It's just so realistic.

"Miss Lin, please don't make fun of me."

"Hmph, why isn't Mr. Mike as resolute as he was a couple of days ago? He's acting like a girl now instead."

The past few days are the past few days.

A few days ago, Mike was thinking about making the girls unable to afford him anything. Destroy it, Terra is beyond saving.

These past few days, I've felt that this land still has some interest, so I shouldn't destroy it for now. He's been busy all his life, and it's time for him to enjoy it.

If someone asks him a question like Lin Yuxia does, he says that people change.

"Well, since you've changed your mind, that's certainly a good thing."

Lin Yuxia lowered her arms and subtly touched the back of Mike's hand with her fingertips, just like a scoundrel harassing a respectable woman.

"Sir, I've booked a venue for tonight, intending to fulfill my wish of seeing a play that I couldn't attend the other day. Please do me the honor of joining me."

Mike thought to himself, "I'm already in Lin Yuxia's car, can I really just push the door open and get out now?"

"Very well, it's all up to Miss Lin."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lin Yuxia burst into laughter, exuding a villainous aura.

"Don't worry, sir. I have another surprise prepared for you tonight, which I guarantee will leave you with unforgettable memories."

Oh no!

Instead of Texas, they're going to get into trouble with Lin Yuxia!

Mike had only one thought in his mind: Had he entered the other world of Terra?

……

Upper floors of the Imperial Guard building.

Hoshiguma pushed open the office door and saw Swire sitting there, her head turned towards the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the twinkling lights of Lungmen at night.

Many years ago, Longmen was pitch black at night. Occasionally, a glimmer of light could be seen. Decades later, Longmen has become a renowned city that never sleeps.

Do you know what I'm looking at?

Swire asked with his back to Hoshiguma.

"I can't guess. The director's thoughts are unpredictable. If I guess wrong, won't I be in trouble with you?"

"What nonsense! Why are you thinking so badly of me? Are you comparing me to Chen Huijie in your mind?"

Hoshiguma's expression darkened. She didn't know where Chen Huijie was. Every time she wrote to her, it took a long time to receive a reply.

The last time I contacted Chen Huijie was three months ago; she said she was in Colombia.

Colombia is separated from Yan by several countries, a long distance, and it is unlikely that a reply will be received in the short term.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. The person you brought back today is Mike Ann, right?"

"It's him."

Swire is the director of the Guard Bureau, so getting information about Mike Ann is incredibly easy for him; the guy comes in every few days. The bureau already has a record of him, and although he hasn't committed any crimes, he's still a close watch on the guy.

Hoshiguma was having a headache over this matter. Now that they had figured out Mike Ann's true identity, they had to find a way to remove him from the list of people under close observation.

What's your opinion of this person?

"A car repair shop owner was a bit lucky. He had a partnership with Penguin Logistics and helped them repair a sports car. He also got involved with Miss Lin. Then, a gang on the outer ring road stole the car he had repaired, which led to a series of farcical situations."

Hoshiguma's answer did not satisfy Swire. The little tiger paused for a moment, then continued, "You only told me what you wanted to tell me, but you concealed a lot of important information."

"If the director wants to know, he can look it up himself. Why come to me? Don't you think what I'm saying is important?"

“Hoshiguma, I’m not here to argue with you. Let’s talk about this Mike Ann. I learned from Uncle Koi that he was also in that gang back then.”

Speaking of Lao Li...

The main reason why Dr. Kal'tsit was imprisoned by the Guard Bureau was that Old Li directly reported her.

The reason for the report was also quite appropriate: Kal'tsit had connections with the Ursus defenders.

The evidence, of course, is the distortion that erupted on the outer ring plot and the black fog that has not yet dissipated.

Lungmen has prepared materials and intends to lodge a protest with the Ursus Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The evidence is irrefutable, and Ursus cannot deny it.

As another party involved, Kal'tsit naturally became the culprit who endangered national public security.

But Hoshiguma also knew that this accusation wouldn't last long, and once news came back from the Ursus Empire, they would have to release Kal'tsit.

After all, many countries now cooperate with Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. The advent of the Originium Generator solved the problem of infected people, but the number of infected people in this land is too large. Even if Rhodes Island's production capacity is increased tenfold, it will not be able to quickly solve the problem.

Infected individuals need to use a generator to reduce or even eliminate their infection level, and uninfected individuals also need it so that they can promptly eliminate symptoms if they become infected.

This function was originally intended to be addressed by the public healthcare resources of each country. However, the development levels of countries in this land vary greatly. Some countries have just entered a new stage of development, while others are still far behind in the past.

Even a powerful nation like Yan could not guarantee that some remote cities would receive rapid support from Originium Generators.

Swire shook her head: "I'm not talking about Dr. Kal'tsit. We all know about her. We just need to wait for the right time. I'm asking about Mike Ann."

I have no problem with him.

"really?"

"real."

Swire pointed to the black van leaving the Guard Bureau building: "See that? That's Lin Yuxia's car. She even came all the way here for this man. Aren't you curious at all?"

"Ms. Lin naturally has her own ideas about what she does. I am just an ordinary friend and don't know her very well."

"Do you genuinely have no opinion, or are you simply unwilling to express it?"

No opinion.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Swire's face.

She wasn't surprised by Hoshiguma's statement.

On the contrary, this fully illustrates the suspicious aspects of Mike Ann.

He would appear where things were twisted, and he received a great deal of care from many people.

Lin Yuxia, Hoshiguma, Texas, and Mostima.

These are all important figures; how could they possibly pay so much attention to a complete stranger?

Since you won't tell me, I'll investigate myself.

"Hoshiguma, if I asked you, assuming Chen Huijie came back and asked me the same question, how would you answer?"

20. Sharing a bed and pillows

Hoshiguma hadn't thought much of it at first, but the little tiger's question startled her.

The issue she had been avoiding was finally brought to the forefront.

“Schwaiter, there are some things that even I have no choice but to do.”

Seeing Hoshiguma's troubled expression, Swire waved her hand: "It's just those things from the past, I don't care about them."

The fact that the second-in-command has stopped using honorifics indicates a willingness to compromise.

"Regarding Mike Ann, whether you tell me the truth or not, I will continue to investigate. Anyway, I'm on vacation these days, right?"

If Swire is in the Guard Bureau, Hoshiguma can keep an eye on her, but if she's not there, she can't follow her around all the time, can she?
