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

"Sir, I'm going to have you tonight no matter what."

40. Mike Fights the Tiger

Mike was in a dilemma, wondering if Wu Song had faced the same predicament as him on Jingyang Ridge. He had sworn not to be a scumbag, and Swire was forcing him to break his vow.

If he were to simply throw this naked girl down, he might hurt her.

But in the few minutes that Mike hesitated, the little tiger had already unbuckled his belt.

If we don't make a decision soon, we'll be eaten!

Mike seized the opportunity, suddenly grabbed Swire, picked her up and threw her aside, then used his legs to slide off the bed and onto the carpet, crawling forward on his hands and feet.

As we all know, tigers have three hunting tricks: pounce, scissors, and tail whip. The first pounce is when Swire pounces on Mike and pins him down. The second scissors is when Swire uses his legs to clamp Mike's waist to prevent him from escaping. The third tail whip is what we're doing now.

Mike was drugged, making him even weaker than Wu Song after drinking three bowls of wine and climbing Jingyang Ridge. He only felt a fragrant breeze whistling behind him, and a thick, long tail swept past. Swire was already standing in front of him.

"Where are you headed, sir?"

"Poetry and elegance..."

Mike looked up, starting from his rounded ankles, then up to his fair calves and strong knees...

He dared not look anymore.

Jingle Bell.

A red collar fell in front of me, its brass bells ringing crisply.

Swire bent her knees and knelt before Mike, reaching out to pick up the collar with bells, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say before that you liked me?"

Mike quickly said, "I did say I liked you, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Swire gently placed her finger against his lips, stopping him from continuing.

"In that case."

The little tiger reached out and unhooked the collar, gently putting it around his neck. Holding the brass bell, he whispered in Mike's ear in a hoarse voice:

“Since you love me, sir, to prove how credible this is, how about this: tonight, the louder this bell rings, the more it proves how much you love me. It all depends on your skill, sir.”

Mike swallowed hard.

The collar around Swire's neck, and the bell there, deeply stimulated his senses.

It seemed that the medicine administered by Swire had taken effect, and the sound of the bells became melodious.

……

No one knows what happened that night except the people involved.

Hoshiguma discovered that Swire didn't come to work the next day and even took three days off, to which she could only sigh silently.

There's nothing we can do; who has the same abilities as a tiger cub?

Mike himself did not go back to the repair shop until a day later when he reappeared. He looked much more haggard than he had a few days earlier, and he was unwilling to mention any details.

That day, Mike had to be at the repair shop because he was welcoming a customer.

The man standing at the shop entrance, dressed in a black suit and top hat as usual, was so polite that Jiawei and his two companions exchanged bewildered glances.

I'd heard the legend of Phantom while I was at Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, but the problem was that I'd only heard of him but never seen him. Unless I was on a special mission, it was hard to spot this Mr. Felin.

Compared to him, Miss Christine was much more approachable.

Mike was also surprised when Phantom appeared in the store. He was startled when he saw him because Phantom came alone, neither to get his car repaired nor on any other business.

“Mr. Mike, this is a letter from Ms. Kelsey to you.”

Mike took the letter from Phantom and understood what the Great Lynx meant just by glancing at the cover.

A day earlier, Rhodes Island left Lungmen, and he returned to living alone. When he returned home, the house was empty and desolate, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Without a doubt, Phantom was the first teammate Kal'tsit found for him.

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to make a phone call."

Mike went outside, took out his phone, and dialed Lin Yuxia's number. The voice on the other end seemed to have expected this, and could not hide the regret in its tone.

"Are you leaving now?"

“The accompanying personnel have already arrived; further delay is not a solution.”

"Okay, I'll have someone drive a car to your door with a full tank of gas. You can leave anytime."

"Thank you so much."

Lin Yuxia suddenly raised her voice on the phone: "If you thank me again, the next time you come back to Longmen, I'll stuff you into an oil drum and sink you in the artificial lake."

terrible.

When Lin Yuxia got angry, she seemed like a completely different person. Mike couldn't figure out why she was so angry for a moment, but then Lin's soft voice came through the microphone again: "I heard that the director of the Guard Bureau hasn't come to work for three days."

Oh dear, it turns out Lin Yuxia already knows about his affair.

There was nothing we could do; the little tiger was just too proactive.

Even though Mike didn't want to be a jerk, he had no choice but to break the rule once, but he vowed in his heart that he would never do it again.

Faced with Mike's silence, Lin Yuxia had no choice but to say, "I'll give you a good thrashing next time. Also, I want to remind you that you'd better not neglect the driver who's taking you there."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll know then."

Lin Yuxia sounded mysterious on the phone, so Mike didn't press her for details. After hanging up, he returned to the repair shop, where Jiawei and the other two were watching him.

Mike cleared his throat and announced the next steps.

"Keep this shop open for now and wait for me to come back. Miss Lin will make the decisions on other matters, so you can listen to her for now."

Mike picked up the suitcase he had prepared earlier and came to the door. Phantom followed behind him in silence, not uttering a word.

After thinking for a moment, the man sent Hoshiguma a message saying that he was leaving Lungmen to travel and that it was a farewell. He also asked her to take good care of the Syracuse trio at the repair shop.

This is obvious, and Hoshiguma naturally knows what to do, but Mike feels it's inappropriate not to send a text message to this Lungmen big sister.

After a long while, Hoshiguma finally replied to him with just two words: "Take care."

Mike felt a great weight lifted from his heart and let out a long sigh.

He stood at the door for a while, lost in thought. A van carrying six passengers pulled up to the side of the road. The driver didn't get out, but rolled down the window and honked the horn.

"Miss Lin sent me."

When the driver's voice came out, Mike was jolted awake.

He wondered if he had misheard, but when he looked at the driver wearing sunglasses, he was still stunned by what he saw.

"Mr. Chongyue, how could it be you?"

“I heard you wanted to go up north to take a look. I’m interested in doing that too. If you don’t mind, let me drive.”

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Mike quickly refused, but to his surprise, Chongyue took out a letter from under the car seat. The letter was exactly the same style as the one Puppet Shadow had given him. He could tell what it was about just by looking at the elegant handwriting on the cover.

41. Chen Huijie Returns

Kal'tsit, it's you again!

Mike, holding the second letter, understood that Chongyue was the second teammate Kal'tsit had found for him, but...

The man with one hand on the steering wheel seemed to see the doubt in Mike's mind and explained with a smile: "Chong Yue is just an ordinary mortal. He is going out of Yan Country for a trip. Besides, he has official business to attend to. So there is no problem. Mr. Mike, please don't worry."

To prevent any further accidents, Mike asked, "Is there anyone else besides you?"

"No, Dr. Kal'tsit said that I would be involved on the Yan side."

"That's good."

Fortunately, the three of them didn't come on New Year's Eve, otherwise it would have turned into the whole family of the Year Beast going out for a team building activity. Even if Yan Guo agreed, Mike's heart wouldn't have been able to take it.

"Shall we leave now?"

Mike stuffed the suitcase into the back of the van, then got into the passenger seat, with Phantom following behind him.

"Let's go, let's set off now. According to the route, we should be able to reach the transit station 30 kilometers outside Longmen today. I still have some things to take care of there."

"There's no time like the present, Mr. Mike, you're really in a good mood."

Chongyue drove the van out of the Longmen security checkpoint toward the transfer station. When he arrived outside Longmen, he just happened to pass by another truck.

Mike was looking at the map and didn't notice what was happening, but the driver, Chongyue, asked in surprise.

"What just happened?" Mike looked up, bewildered.

"No, it's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past."

"Okay, you can let me know if you have any questions."

……

Chen Huijie hasn't been back to Longmen for a long time; she remembers the last time she was active in this mobile city was several years ago.

From Yan to Ursus, to Victoria, and then to Colombia, she traveled all over this land, witnessed all walks of life, and finally returned to the place where she was born and raised.

Ms. Chen was sitting in a truck. The truck driver was an infected person she knew before. Fortunately, there was an Originium generator, which allowed infected people who were previously discriminated against to begin to regain their original social status. The driver was also willing to give her a ride.

As she arrived outside the gate, she happened to pass a van coming from the opposite direction, and the driver glanced at her.

Actually, this isn't a very serious problem.

Chen Huijie had gotten used to being stared at by others along the way, but when she passed by that van, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

what happened?

She looked in the rearview mirror as the van drove further and further away, and the excitement in her heart subsided.

Is it a case of feeling apprehensive about returning home?

Chen Huijie turned to look ahead again. The driver noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Ms. Chen, what happened just now? Is there something wrong with that car?"

"No, there's nothing here. Don't be nervous. We've arrived at Longmen. It's safe here."
