The two rolled around again, with Mike on top, before slowly letting go.

Lin Yuxia licked her lips. Her lipstick was already very light, but after this role reversal, its original color was revealed even more, exuding a rich fragrance.

Zalak whispered, "Don't move, I'm fixing my hair."

"Oh."

Mike awkwardly let go; having such long hair was indeed inconvenient.

He suddenly remembered Mostima's short hair.

Lin Yuxia sat up, carefully tidying her hair, and casually said, "Hoshiguma and I really offended Swire this time, repeatedly embarrassing her. We need to find a way to make up for it."

The man picked up two drinks from the tray, handed one to his female companion, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"She went to Columbia to see your cenotaph. When she returned, Lungmen had already been destroyed. To protect her safety, Lord Wei instructed me and Hoshiguma not to involve her. In addition, Hoshiguma had some conflicts with her, and they had quite a few verbal clashes. I know her. I didn't say it, but I thought it all over my mind. I was holding a grudge."

"What does this have to do with me?"

“Hoshiguma has been investigating you recently, and naturally she can’t avoid Swire, the real head of the Guard Bureau.”

After Lin Yuxia's reminder, Mike suddenly remembered something: Ansel had once sneaked into his house late at night to search for clues. Back in Rhodes Island, Ansel had already started cooperating with the Guard Bureau through Hoshiguma's connections.

This matter is most likely related to Swire, which means she has already found out about me.

Lin Yuxia also sighed: "It's all my fault for not stopping Xingxiong. She was determined to find out your identity and probably guessed who you are. At most, she could keep it from Shihuaiya for a while, but she will definitely see through it in time."

Before Mike showed his true colors, he was completely out of the loop in Lungmen; even a seasoned veteran like Hoshiguma couldn't do anything to him.

After the two chaotic incidents on the outer ring of Longmen, he could no longer hide.

"You think I stood up for myself and disrupted the original rhythm."

Mike took a deep sip of juice and said frankly, "Let me ask you, if I don't step forward, how do you plan to resolve this? A corrupted Ursus inner guard is no match for just a few people from the outer ring. Governor Wei was already prepared to take action, and once he did, it would be earth-shattering, and the matter would be completely out of control."

"I didn't mean to blame you, I just felt..."

22. The dignified Lord Wei

Lin Yuxia looked somewhat aggrieved.

"I'm so sorry."

Mike patted Miss Lin's hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

He said calmly, "Having died once, you should understand. There's no need for this."

"Sir, you're speaking with more confidence now."

Lin Yuxia's words brought Mike back to reality.

Let's not stoop to the level of this vixen for now.

Mike was thinking to himself as he reached for the desserts in the fruit platter, but his fingers touched a small box. Having learned his lesson in Texas, he immediately became wary.

"what is this?"

He held up the small box, which indeed had words like "ultra-thin," "0.1 millimeters," and "lightly scented" written on it.

When the item was placed in front of Lin Yuxia, the young lady said without changing her expression, "This is the surprise I prepared for you, sir."

surprise?

Mostly frightened!

Texas does this, so you should too!

Mike was filled with grief and indignation. What had he become?

Just as he was about to stand on moral high ground and point fingers at Lin Yuxia's behavior, a small note fell through his fingers and landed right on the bed sheet between the two of them.

Lin Yuxia blinked. How come there was an extra thing?

The girl quickly picked it up and saw a sentence written in neat handwriting.

"Kobayashi, you need to take good safety precautions."

This……

Lin Yuxia was startled. Others might not know who wrote the note, but how could she not?

The handwriting is clearly from Lady Wenyue.

Could it be that Lady Wenyue was also inside the theater?

broken.

Today, I can't do anything good.

Things that were originally only suitable for young people to try secretly have now been caught red-handed by their elders, so naturally they have lost the motivation to continue.

Lady Wenyue could not possibly appear alone in a public place like a theater, so Governor Wei must have been with her as well.

Lin Yuxia's face turned pale the moment she realized this.

Whatever.

The right timing, the right location, and the right people—two of these three are now missing. Forcing things to continue will likely cause significant damage.

Lin Yuxia clutched the small note and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, it's not possible today. We'll have to talk about it later."

Is there such a good thing?

Mike was just thinking about how to escape from Miss Lin's clutches, and her willingness to back down was the best thing ever. He was overjoyed.

The operatives were all so eager to devour him that it diminished the man's joy at the reunion.

Seeing Mike's relieved expression, Lin Yuxia said with a hint of anger, "Why are you still so happy, sir? Did things not go as planned, which is exactly what you wanted?"

What does it mean?

Mike could only say, "No, no, don't worry about it."

Hearing him say that, Miss Lin's expression changed. She grabbed the man's hand and said happily, "I knew it. So you were thinking the same thing, sir. Next time, I'll definitely find a place where no one will notice and witness your true skills."

Oh no, we've fallen into their trap!

Mike belatedly realized that a girl's thoughts are like needles at the bottom of the sea; not only are they difficult to guess, but even if Shuiyue's entire sea-child army were to search for them, they might not be able to find them.

Although it's unclear who interrupted Lin Yuxia's progress, it indirectly helped Mike escape a disaster.

……

On the second floor of the theater, in the private room to the left of Lin Yuxia and Mike's private room.

The dignified ruler of Longmen, a high-ranking official of the Great Yan Dynasty, the mighty and valiant Governor Wei Yanwu, is peeling an apple for his wife.

Lord Wei's technique was also very sophisticated. He used his profound skill to suspend the apple in his palm, and then emitted sharp sword energy from his five fingers, peeling off the apple's skin bit by bit. The sword energy dissipated quickly after leaving his body, without harming the area around the private room.

No matter how much others speculated about Lord Wei's skills, they would never have imagined that he would use them to peel apples at this moment.

Before long, a perfectly peeled apple appeared before Lady Wenyue. The woman's eyes were curved, and her gentle smile made one feel that there was nothing more beautiful in the world.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Wei."

Wei Yanwu's expression shifted, and he took the apple back, saying seriously, "It's inconvenient to eat it like this. Let me cut it into slices."

Madam Wenyue said softly, "We could have had the waiter do it, but we've troubled Mr. Wei again."

Back and forth, Wei Yanwu was busy and sweating profusely, and his attitude became more and more attentive. He even personally fed the sliced ​​apple to his wife.

“Oh, Madam, there’s no need to be so polite. We’re family, this is what I should do.”

The woman ignored him.

Wei Yanwu could only sit aside and watch the show.

The play is just a play on stage, but the people are just people we know and love.

Lady Wenyue watched the play on the stage intently, chewing on an apple slice. After a while, she slowly said, "Swire came to me to complain, saying that you all ganged up on her. I shouldn't have gotten involved, but the little girl cried as she spoke, and I couldn't bear to listen, so I came to ask for your opinion."

Wei Yanwu paused, then sighed, “What you say is true, Madam. After thinking it over, I couldn’t see where you had suffered, so I guessed the source was here. We’ve watched Shi Huaiya grow up, and she’s like a sister to Huijie. We absolutely cannot say that we’ve bullied her. If it were a few days ago, we certainly wouldn’t have told you the reason, Madam, but things are different now, so it won’t hurt to tell you.”

"If you find this troublesome, then there's no need to say anything more; I understand."

"I should say, I can say, I plan to find an opportunity to let Swire know more about it."

Then, Wei Yanwu recounted to Lady Wenyue in detail what had happened in Longmen during this period.

Upon hearing this, Lady Wenyue's fingers, which were twirling an apple, inadvertently dug her nails into the flesh of the fruit.

"Oh dear, I misunderstood you. It was my fault. A mere apple is not enough to make amends, but I have nothing else. I will have to apologize when I get back."

She gently offered the apple to her husband's lips, and Wei Yanwu readily agreed, taking a bite of the fruit, his heart finally at ease.

Apologizing was a minor matter; Governor Wei wasn't angry at all. After so many years of marriage, what was there that couldn't be said?

"On another note, sir, I saw what Xiaolin was carrying before I went into the private room. Now that I'm trying to stop her, am I wrong?"

"Lin Yuxia? Is she here to watch the opera too, accompanying her father? I'll have to try and break in."

"Hey!"

Madam Wenyue quickly pulled her husband aside and whispered in his ear, "You've misunderstood. Xiaolin brought a friend, a young man of similar age to her. I saw the safety equipment she prepared, and after thinking about her personality, I felt uneasy. So I took it upon myself to leave a note. She must have guessed that you and I were in the theater, so things naturally couldn't proceed."

Wei Yanwu stroked his hairy chin thoughtfully and said, "Could the person who came with Lin Yuxia have short, gray hair?"

"how do you know?"

23. Snow Pheasant delivered to the door.

Wei Yanwu waved his hand and explained, "Madam, you don't know this, but the person you saw is the Mike Ann I just mentioned. He is very much cared for by Ms. Kelsey, who even instructed me not to disturb him."

"It's so important, but I've never heard of Ms. Kal'tsit having any male relatives..."

Governor Wei looked around, then suddenly clenched his fist with his right hand outstretched. An invisible wave of energy filled the private room. After confirming that it was safe, he whispered, "I suspect that this person is the Doctor from Rhodes Island. He faked his death more than two months ago and infiltrated Lungmen ahead of time to help us resolve a crisis."

Lady Wenyue suppressed her shock and murmured, "Really? Did I do something wrong with my good intentions?"

"No, Madam, you don't need to worry."

While comforting his wife, Wei Yanwu suppressed his own selfish thoughts.

No one is perfect, and he has his own ideas too.
