Doctor, I'm really strong!

The most frustrating thing is not knowing when the enemy will attack. What's even more frustrating is that you can't take the initiative to attack. Given your status and position in Longmen, it's tantamount to declaring war no matter what.

Just then, Wen Yue received a phone call. After a while, she came over and said, "We have a guest."

Wei Yanwu raised an eyebrow: "The guest you specifically mentioned at this time must be very important, right?"

Wen Yue nodded gently: "It's Kal'tsit from Rhodes Island, and Doctor Liu Jiuli."

Wei Yanwu and Chen Huijie were both startled. What was Liu Jiuli up to? Why was he coming to visit? And at the Governor's Mansion at this time?

"This is indeed a very important guest; it's necessary to meet him."

Regardless of their purpose in coming here, Wei Yanwu had to see the two of them first.

Soon, the two arrived in front of Wei Yanwu. Wei Yanwu knew Kal'tsit, but this was the first time he had met Liu Jiuli. His first impression of Liu Jiuli was that he was young, very young, and looked very ordinary.

There are only two possibilities for such a person: either they are very good at hiding their true nature, or they are simply an idiot.

The person who can replace Talulah in the Reunion Movement can't be an idiot, but we can't rule out the possibility that he's Koschei's puppet. In any case, we need to be careful.

Wei Yanwu first welcomed the two: "Welcome to Lungmen, Ms. Kal'tsit of Rhodes Island, and Mr. Liu Jiuli." "Hello, Governor Wei Yanwu," Kal'tsit replied with the same polite words.

Then Liu Jiuli stepped forward, grasped Wei Yanwu's hand and shook it: "Hello, hello, Governor Wei Yanwu, it's a pleasure to meet you. How about we get straight to the point? We can discuss anything, whether it's the Reunion Movement, Kosichek, Talulah, or the royal issues between Yan and Victoria."

Wei Yanwu was stunned on the spot. Could this be something that could be said so casually? But he quickly calmed down.

Good lad, you're trying to soothe my mind right off the bat. It was my oversight to think of you as a young man. Of course, someone who can earn Kal'tsit's approval can't be simple. He might be an old man who looks young.

Kal'tsit stood silently to the side. Before they came, Liu Jiuli had told him that the rest of the performance was up to him.

It's obvious that Liu Jiuli possesses crucial intelligence, immediately causing Wei Yanwu to lose his composure. The ensuing exchange is bound to be explosive. In reality, Liu Jiuli simply wants to see Wei Yanwu's shocked expression, verifying his suspicions while seizing the initiative in the negotiation and keeping Wei Yanwu constantly on the run.

This is not recommended for players who are not very strong, as they will most likely get killed.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, the atmosphere became quite subtle. Chen Huijie wanted to ask a question, but Wen Yue stopped her in advance, indicating that she should let things play out for a while.

Wei Yanwu composed himself before asking, "Since Mr. Liu Jiuli prefers to speak frankly, then I'll just ask directly: what is your relationship with the Reunion Movement?"

Liu Jiuli: "This all starts with Talulah's background; she's from the Victorian royal family..."

Wei Yanwu quickly interrupted, "Let's start with the Reunion Movement."

Liu Jiuli looked troubled: "But this involves at least two strong claims, which is difficult to explain."

Your grandpa's boastful claim, you still want to take Victoria or something, are you trying to manipulate me now?

Although he was seething with hatred, Wei Yanwu still had to speak softly and gently: "The Integration Movement is carrying out terrorist attacks in Lungmen, and we have no choice but to take action. If you have any intelligence, please help us. The people of Lungmen are innocent."

Liu Jiuli asked in surprise, "Is the security in Longmen really that bad?"

The implication is that you're a complete waste of space, unable to even manage your own district.

Moral blackmail? Ha, how naive.

What else can I say? I'll just have to bear it!

Wei Yanwu said with a helpless expression, "Everyone has their own expertise. There are some things that Lungmen is not good at. For example, Rhodes Island's medical staff are more professional than ours."

By praising Wei Yanwu, he expressed his helplessness and asked, "Can we get down to business now?"

Liu Jiuli then said in a serious tone, "Please note one thing to the Longmen side: the Integration Movement no longer exists. After I came to power, I reorganized the Integration Movement. The organization I now lead is called the Red Guards. The Red Guards have absolutely no connection with terrorist organizations."

Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes slightly: "But I heard that the Red Guards' commanders and leaders are all former members of the Integration Movement."

Liu Jiuli smiled slightly: "The former Mr. Wei Yanwu was not a member of the Yan Kingdom's royal family..."

The rest was left unsaid, but the meaning was clear: if you can sever ties with the past, like the Yan Kingdom's royal family, why can't the Integration Movement? Your situation is even more complicated and difficult to resolve.

Wei Yanwu was already shocked. The intelligence and information the other party possessed was far more than he had imagined. They had obtained many secrets with ease, while his understanding of Rhodes Island and Liu Jiuli was almost completely blank.

There is no such thing as a blank person in the world, unless they fell from the sky. Therefore, this person must have been active somewhere on the continent of Terra for a long time, and may have had many identities and possess an intelligence system that is unimaginably powerful.

Behind the intelligence lies strength; Rhodes Island is definitely not just a small pharmaceutical company.

Wei Yanwu did not continue the topic, but nodded and said, "I understand. Can I understand it as the Integration Movement being the Integration Movement and the Red Guards being the Red Guards, two unrelated organizations?"

Liu Jiuli nodded: "That's true."

Wei Yanwu: "So the Red Guards are not responsible for the current actions of the Integration Movement, is that right?"

Liu Jiuli countered, "Would you take responsibility for your younger brother's career?"

Wei Yanwu's younger brother is the current emperor of Yan, so...

That's the end of the topic. Wei Yanwu was really being overwhelmed by Liu Jiuli, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and possessed a lot of crucial intelligence.

It's not about experience; it's that others are completely innocent while you're shrouded in darkness, and any little dirt you dig up could be fatal.

As for the statement "This kid is so terrifying, he must not be allowed to live," that's foolish. Wei Yanwu has no idea what's behind Liu Jiuli or Rhodes Island. Given his current unbridled behavior, it's easy to intimidate him into not daring to act rashly. As long as the risks are uncontrollable, a smart person like Wei Yanwu wouldn't dare to act rashly.

If there were any reckless brutes who dared to slap someone in the face, Liu Jiuli would have the strength to crush them.

After this exchange, the Integration Movement and the Red Guards were no longer related, and this was confirmed by Wei Yanwu.

If the Red Guards' actions at Longmen are targeted in the future, Liu Jiuli can retaliate openly and legitimately.

However, what followed was not so easy to handle, and it was also the place where Wei Yanwu was most likely to overturn the table.

Section 41: The Fourth Calamity

There was only one thing Wei Yanwu cared about most—Talulah.

This involves rather complex matters. For example, Talulah's father is a member of the Victorian royal family of the Drak clan, and her mother is Wei Yanwu's sister. Wei Yanwu's blood relatives have the right to inherit the Yan Kingdom's royal family, while Talulah's father has the right to inherit the Victorian royal family.

Regardless of her position in the order of birth, Talulah was born with two national flags, so are you scared yet?

Intermarriage between ordinary families is nothing unusual, but in a politically driven royal family, it presents numerous problems. When things are peaceful, everyone turns a blind eye, but if something goes wrong over power, then expect a bloodbath.

Unfortunately, Talulah's father got involved, and in the end, Wei Yanwu killed his best friend and forced Talulah's mother to remarry into the Chen family, after which Chen Huijie was born. It just goes to show how messy the entertainment industry is.

However, no Paradox Interactive player knows how to play. The most basic thing is that my daughter's daughter is also my wife. You can even see more outrageous content. Even the Habsburgs back in the day didn't play this wildly.

So Paradox Interactive players are indeed explorers of the lower limits of human civilization.

"What is Talulah's current relationship with the Reunion Movement and the Red Guards?" Wei Yanwu asked directly.

This is the issue he cares about most, and it's the one he can't compromise on; a single mistake could result in many deaths.

Liu Jiuli shrugged: "You should ask her that question directly."

Wei Yanwu picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea: "I can't find her, so I can only ask you, the person involved."

Liu Jiuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that immediately alarmed Wei Yanwu's intuition.

“Then please ask Governor Wei himself, what do you think, Talulah?”

A figure appeared behind Liu Jiuli without anyone noticing, and at the same time, everyone's attention was drawn to that figure, who instantly enjoyed the center stage treatment.

Wen Yue suddenly stood up: "Little Tower!"

The tea in Wei Yanwu's teacup overflowed, but he didn't react at all, staring blankly at Talulah.

Chen Huijie suppressed the urge to rush forward, but her eyes betrayed her completely.

Twenty years—for her, it was a full twenty years of waiting. Her childhood memories were starting to fade, but some feelings would never be forgotten.

The small joys of childhood seem even more precious as we grow up.

At this moment, Talulah is the real Talulah. Liu Jiuli asked the Black Serpent to temporarily relinquish control of the body so that Talulah could meet with her former family right here.

Black Serpent was quite looking forward to seeing some fun, since Talulah couldn't escape his grasp anyway, so he readily agreed.

A comet hitting Earth is an example of this.

Kal'tsit was equally shocked, because she had no idea that Liu Jiuli had brought someone in with him.

It's just a matter of mental shielding. It can easily interfere with the surrounding environment, creating a complete shield from aura to temperature, and even the environment itself, making it impossible for anyone to see anything wrong. Unless the other party's mental strength is stronger than Liu Jiuli's, or they have some additional characteristics, it's simply impossible for them to discover that Liu Jiuli is hiding someone.

Talulah really just swaggered in.

The family reunited, but the scene was as awkward as if the sleeping king had defecated in public, and no one knew what to do next.

Just then, Liu Jiuli broke the silence. He leaned back on the sofa and said like a godfather, "Alright, now that she's here, Governor Wei, you can ask her."

It was an open act of instigation, but it was incredibly intimidating. Wei Yanwu was now too scared to even think of what to say, let alone get angry.

After a moment, he put down the teapot in his hand, casually poured out the teacup that had overflowed with ten times its volume of tea, and then said indifferently, "I admire Dr. Liu Jiuli's way of communicating."

The title was completely changed to "Doctor," partly to express his dissatisfaction and partly to acknowledge Liu Jiuli's abilities.

A doctorate can be a title or a compliment.

Liu Jiuli's smile remained unchanged. At this moment, Kal'tsit had no idea what big move Liu Jiuli was planning, and could only silently sulk on the side. As for why she was sulking, only heaven knows.

Wei Yanwu remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Talulah: "I'm sorry."

Talulah asked expressionlessly, "Apologize for what? For what you've done, or for what you're going to do next?"

"It doesn't matter."

As soon as Wei Yanwu finished speaking, many people wearing straw hats and completely hidden in black clothes appeared around them.

This is the Black Cloak, the private armed force directly under Wei Yanwu, the strongest hidden force in Longmen.

Talulah sneered, "Are you planning to imprison me, or do you intend to kill me?"

Wei Yanwu stood up and said, "If it's necessary, I don't mind being cold-blooded."

Talulah lowered the sword at her waist with her left hand, her emotions somewhat agitated: "Others may not know, but I know very well when you started to become cold-blooded! You were used by Koschei, were you really just used by Koschei?"

A hint of dejection flashed in Wei Yanwu's eyes, but he still said coldly, "Talulah, put down your weapon. We have plenty of time to talk now."

"dream!"

Although reason told Talulah that her enemy was not Wei Yanwu, she still couldn't help but feel the urge to kill him when she saw him in person.

Regardless of whether they were forced to do it, the person who committed the act is one of the murderers, and there's no excuse for it.

At that moment, Chen Huijie immediately stepped between Wei Yanwu and Talulah.

"Wait, why is this the way we're communicating right away, sister, uncle!"

"It's rare for you to call me 'uncle,' I'm only doing this for your own good..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear this anymore." Liu Jiuli stood up, picked his ear and said, "What do you mean by 'for your own good'? Based on the information I have so far, Talulah and her sister are innocent. As for you adults in the family, it's true that you've harmed the children."

Wei Yanwu looked at Liu Jiuli and said coldly, "Dr. Liu Jiuli, this is my family matter, but it also involves major issues between nations. If your side does anything inappropriate, don't blame me for going too far."
