Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

"Everyone here is a party to Longmen Outer Ring. We can tell you anything you want to know, including the doubts and dissatisfaction in your heart."

Xingxiong also whispered: "Ms. Shi Huaiya, I can apologize to you. I contradicted you in the Guard Bureau. It was all my fault."

"What are you doing? I'm not that fragile."

Lao Li tried to smooth things over: "Don't talk about work while you're eating. Come and eat the food. I've cooked so many dishes. It would be a waste if you don't eat them."

Wei Yanwu picked up a piece of braised bamboo shoots with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was full of aftertaste and sighed, "It tastes the same as before. I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. Wen Yue learned a braised bamboo shoot dish from you. You two have your own merits. I like both of you."

Ah Yong nudged Hong, who was drinking a drink, with his arm: "See? This is called professionalism."

After the meal, both the host and the guests were very happy and had a cheerful look on their faces.

It was almost time. After drinking a little wine, Lin Yuxia, with a flushed face, raised her glass: "I want to say sorry to Uncle Li. It was me who involved you in the Outer Ring incident."

Lao Li waved his hand: "No, Miss Lin is too polite."

"How could that be, Uncle Li? You were originally a master invited by Governor Wei and have been in charge of Longmen for many years. It is only natural that I should toast you."

Lin Yuxia drank tea instead of wine.

Seeing this, Lao Li sighed. Lin Yuxia's action did not leave him any room for maneuver, so he had no choice but to pick up the cup of water in front of him and take a sip as a return of courtesy.

Mrs. Wen Yue, who was sitting on the sofa, was smiling but said nothing.

"Shi Huaiya, come to my side."

Wei Yanwu spoke, and the little tiger came and sat down in front of his elder.

"I had to hide the Outer Ring incident from you. The situation was special at the time, and it was almost time for me to do it. I even mobilized Penguin Logistics. I really couldn't let the incident spread out. Your return happened to be at a critical time. After repeated consideration, I had to exclude you. I'm sorry that you have been wronged."

To be honest, it is not easy to hear these things from Wei Yanwu, especially when he is talking to a junior.

Ah looked at this scene in shock and subconsciously asked, "Will I be silenced?"

Huaihu patted him, meaning that he should stop talking nonsense.

Lao Li stepped up again to smooth things over: "Special circumstances require special treatment. I believe Director Shi Huaiya can understand that, right?"

But Shi Huaiya remained silent until everyone was looking at her.

The little tiger sniffed and said, "If you don't let me participate in the affairs of the Guard Bureau, I won't participate. If you don't let me contact the Outer Ring, I won't contact it. But you let me watch everything happen. Everyone hides it from me. Everyone is kind-hearted. What should I do?

"When the Guards Bureau had an accident, I was investigating the owner of the auto repair shop, Mike An. Even so, some people said that such a big thing happened outside, but I had the leisure to investigate a stranger who had nothing to do with it. I felt wronged, and I couldn't do anything."

28. Shi Huaiya: Little boy, don’t cry

"Can anyone tell me who Mike Ann is?"

Lao Li raised his hand, but found that everyone was looking at him in silence. The scene was extremely awkward.

According to Shi Huaiya's description, the owner of the repair shop seems to be more important.

No matter how good Madam Wen Yue was at cultivating her Qi, when she heard Mike Ann's name, she couldn't help but look towards Lin Yuxia.

Miss Zalak's cheeks inadvertently blushed, and she picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to hide her embarrassment.

There's no way, what happened a few days ago was too embarrassing.

In the silence that was so cold that you could hear a pin drop, Wei Yanwu coughed softly: "He is just a car repair boss."

Lao Li shook his head and said, "It turns out he is just an insignificant little person. I thought he was so great."

He was trying to make up for what he had just said, but even a fool could tell that Mike Ann must be no simple man.

Shi Huaiya stood up and smoothed the wrinkles of her skirt with both hands: "I'm full, let me go out for a walk."

"Go ahead, Lao Li, let's continue drinking." Wei Yanwu said casually.

Lao Li also picked up the wine bottle and poured a little bit, stopping when it was enough.

After watching Shi Huaiya leave, Xingxiong also stood up: "I'll go take a look."

But Lin Yuxia beside her stopped her and said, "No need, let her be alone for a while. I have told her everything I should tell her."

"Xiao Lin is right. Shi Huaiya is a good child. He will definitely understand."

Mrs. Wen Yue spoke. Xing Xiong had no choice but to give up.

……

On the same night, Mike was walking alone in Longmen Night Market, without anyone to accompany him. He was used to it.

After walking a few steps, I had fried skewers, drinks, and stinky tofu in my hands.

When he was in Rhodes Island, the operator in charge of his daily life always restricted his diet, saying that it was to ensure nutritional balance.

Every time Mike thought of this, the image of the little mongoose appeared in his mind.

Yaye is worthy of being Kal'tsit's student. She has perfectly inherited the giant lynx's strictness and bad temper. She is always displeased with him and even confiscates his snacks.

The good news is that he has been away from Rhodes Island for a long time and finally no longer has to worry about food. For example, if Yaye saw him now, he would definitely make a big fuss.

After fighting wars for a lifetime, the world is at peace and life is good. Can't we enjoy ourselves?

Mike walked around the Outer Ring Night Market for a few rounds. In addition to eating, he also bought a mask that was said to be of a traditional hero of Yan Country. In fact, he didn't quite understand the design and seriously suspected that he was tricked by the roadside stall owner.

As I was walking, a film girl came towards me. She was wearing a beautiful dress and had long golden hair. But she was in a bad mood and was crying and wiping her tears alone. I couldn't tell you how pitiful she was.

Mike didn't notice the problem at first, but after he took a closer look, he was shocked to find that it was Shi Huaiya.

Why is Shi Huaiya here?

Are you going to a party dressed like this?

Ever since Shi Huaiya left Lao Li's house, she thought that someone must have chased her out. However, after she walked more than a hundred meters, she found that there was no one. Her depressed mood became even worse. She couldn't help but well up tears in the corners of her eyes, and no matter how she wiped them away, she couldn't stop them. Her legs unknowingly brought her to the night market on the outer ring of Longmen.

I have heard that this place is very lively before, but Shi Huaiya is not in the mood at all now. It is also because the environment of the outer ring is really good now. When others see a crying little girl, they don’t have any bad intentions, but just avoid her to avoid bumping into her.

Probably because of the updated version.

This made Shi Huaiya feel even worse.

Unfortunately, there was an ungrateful person standing in front of her.

hateful.

Don't underestimate her.

After all, she is the chief of the Imperial Guard Bureau.

Shi Huaiya raised her head and saw that the man was wearing a mask. He looked neither human nor ghost, and it was very confusing.

"Step aside."

The cold words came, and Mike remained motionless, like a wall: "Miss, you walked in front of me and asked me to move aside. It's a bit unreasonable."

Shi Huaiya glared at the other party. It would be fine if she didn’t give in, but couldn’t she give in?

Just as the two of them passed each other, Shi Huaiya, whose mind was in a mess, suddenly remembered something.

Where have I heard this voice before?

Is it an illusion?

No, no.

Shi Huaiya's keen intuition told her that she had not heard wrong.

"stop."

Mike had already walked several steps away when he heard the girl's scolding from behind.

Would anyone who became the Chief of the Guard Bureau rebuke this skill?

Chen Huijie has yelled like this before, and Shi Huaiya has also yelled like this. Will it be Xingxiong's turn next time?

Mike stopped and didn't move.

"Miss, I didn't provoke you, did I?"

"You turn around."

Mike still didn't move.

People around have already cast their eyes on this incident, treating it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Shi Huaiya was also shy, so it was somewhat inappropriate to ask her to produce her Guards ID in public.

She quickened her pace and turned to the front of the man. She reached out and took off the mask from his face, and saw the face that was both strange and familiar.

Mike Ann, I knew it was you.

Mike originally wanted to turn around and leave, but then he thought that maybe this would stop Shi Huaiya from crying, so it might be a good idea.

As the principal of a kindergarten in Rhode Island, I naturally have to help the children take care of their emotions.

Mike slowly raised his hands: "Ms. Shi Huaiya, I remember that I didn't provoke you, there are so many people here, look..."

"Come with me."

"Where to go?"

"Just follow me."

The little tiger grabbed Mike's arm aggressively and dragged him to the side of the road. When they passed a cold drink shop, Mike suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I want to buy two drinks."

Shi Huaiya originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought about the attitude of everyone in Lao Li's family towards Mike Ann, she decided to try him again.

She is the chief of the Imperial Guard and she is not a fool. How could she not see that most people's attitudes are ambiguous?

Lin Yuxia is fine, but even Governor Wei and Madam Wen Yue are very secretive about it, so you can imagine how mysterious this man is.

Maybe the things that happened in the outer ring were related to him.

Not only that, Shi Huaiya had a bold guess in his heart.

A few minutes later, Mike came back. Shi Huaiya stared at the two cups of the cheapest lemon tea in his hands and snorted, "Thank you. I'll give you the money."

Mike laughed and said, "I thought I wouldn't be worthy of Miss Shi Huaiya's approval."

The little tiger ignored him.

You can drink boiled water, you can drink beverages, you can drink red wine, just go with the flow, what's wrong with that?

The straw pierced the wrapper and Shi Huaiya took a sip. The lemon tea was a little sweet, but she couldn't ask for more.

She lowered her head and asked, "Why are you here?"

29. He can't run away

"I should ask you this, Miss Shi Huaiya. You are dressed so beautifully. Are you going to a banquet?"

Shi Huaiya glared at Mike: "Answer me first."

"Okay, okay," Mike nodded and agreed quickly, "I'm here because I live nearby. What's wrong with going out shopping at night? Doesn't the Guard Bureau forbid me to go out and spend money?"

It was only then that Shi Huaiya noticed the food in Mike's other hand. Most of them were products from roadside stalls. They were greasy, salty and spicy, which she generally didn't like.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Mike didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of person does Miss Shi Huaiya think I am? I am just the owner of a car repair shop, that's all."

"really?"

Shi Huaiya's questioning made Mike laugh: "Okay, okay, Miss Shi Huaiya, Director, please tell me who I should be."

This was not the first or second time that Little Tiger had suspected him, and he had even taken him to the Guards Bureau. Even with Xingxiong protecting him from behind, he couldn't handle it if it happened two more times.

Besides, there were too many operators who had seen through him at Longmen. If he had known earlier, he would have hidden in Londinium or been led by the Great Knight.

But if you think about it carefully, it's actually worse. More people in Londinium know him, and Casimir also has the omnipresent Platinum and Gravel who is determined to eat him. His ending may not be much better than Longmen's.

Shi Huaiya, who was standing next to him, looked at the man's distracted look and just wanted to step on him.

Why did you become distracted while talking?

"Oh, sorry, Miss Shi Huaiya, I was just thinking about something else."

Miss Filin frowned, and the red circles under her eyes gradually faded. As long as someone could help distract her, she would be able to relieve the depression and embarrassment in her heart.

But this also has its disadvantages, as Mike increases his risk of being exposed.

Who made him appear in front of Shi Huaiya on his own initiative? He could easily blend into the crowd and go to the other side.
