".....Is there such a place in the Holy Residence?"

"Yes, although few people know about it...but it's not a glorious place either."

Because of their special status and the need to guard against the Wuxiang Society, although Emperor Xuanzong of Qi would not be severely punished, the prison that awaits them is definitely not an ordinary one.

——The underground prison of the Holy Residence.

The confidentiality and security levels there are the highest.

Hiruko Kagetsugu's daughter, Kobinai, is unable to return to society because she was too severely brainwashed and had a strong murderous heart, and is still imprisoned there.

"And to a certain extent, that Qi Wu Xuanzong can also serve as bait."

In order to defeat the mysterious Wuxianghui organization, the first thing to do is to confirm whether there are any undercover agents around you.

"But in that case, your situation will be very dangerous, right?" Kigen frowned.

She understood the truth, but once the other party chose to take action, the one in most danger would be the Holy Emperor.

——It can be said that this time she really gambled her life.

"But that is a necessary risk." He looked down at the half remaining tea in the cup with some sadness.

“Perhaps, as Blood Riot said, I am not a good ruler in this chaotic era, but I also don’t think that the dictatorial approach of Emperor Xuanzong of Qi is correct.”

“I know it’s impossible to achieve a peaceful outcome without any sacrifice, but I still want to change this imperfect world.”

After he finished speaking, the Holy Emperor slowly closed his eyes, his noble posture like a martyr.

Blood Riot's words from that night still seem to echo in my ears.

Although she felt heartbroken when the image of the person she longed for was shattered, it also made her recognize herself to a certain extent and made her more resolute in her ideas.

"But because of this, I hope to extend the time limit of the escort request from Bandai Civilian Security Company."

Compared to the ragged guard team, Mu Geng and his men are more trustworthy.

In particular, there is a man named Rentaro Satomi in the guard team who is labeled as a member of the Tendo family.

——It so happens that the current Tiantong family has been completely equated with the Wuxiang Society in the eyes of the Holy Emperor.

"So this is your purpose, Lord Saint Emperor?"

He sighed, and the Holy Emperor opposite him smiled.

But Mu Geng naturally wouldn't refuse this.

"So what should we do next? Should we investigate the spies of the Gosho Society in the police station first, or should we go find that person called Asano..."

At this moment, a pleasant bell rang in Kisara's pocket.

"Sorry, take that... Ugh!"

After taking out his cell phone and seeing the number on it, Kisara's expression immediately became extremely disgusted.

——Sima Weizhi.

That venomous snake woman who makes people furious just thinking about her.

Although emotionally, she really wanted to hang up on the other party and put that woman on the blacklist, her logic prevented her from doing so.

I patiently pressed the answer button: "Hello, what's going on?"

"It's just that the results of the last investigation are out, and I came here to inform you."

Instead of getting angry as usual, Sima Weizhi's tone revealed a seriousness.

Chapter 243 The Two Who Hid the Truth from Each Other

After nearly a week of hot weather, it seems that the situation is finally turning around.

Thick dark clouds blocked the sunlight early in the morning, causing the temperature to drop significantly.

"Welcome back~"

A few days later, when Miss Geng got away from her busy work and returned to the coffee shop, Lin Qiao opened the door to greet her warmly.

But compared to when she went out to complete the escort mission alone, this time when she came back, there was a cute blonde figure by her side.

"Wow~ Is the policy so good now?"

Lin Qiao said with a subtle look at Kigen who was bringing back a blonde loli.

Tina Sprunt.

After being locked up in a small dark room by the Holy Emperor for two days and receiving ideological education, she was finally released and handed over to Mu Geng to take back to the coffee shop.

At this moment, the owl girl was not wearing ordinary daily clothes, but a dark blue princess dress that looked very gorgeous.

On his back was a cello case that looked extremely heavy - just like the killers in some action movies, it actually contained a sniper rifle.

However, the situation was slightly different from the last time she came to the coffee shop. There was no longer the usual sleepiness between her eyes.

The reason was that during the time she was in the small dark room in Shengjuguan, her night owl-like lifestyle was forcibly corrected by the Holy Emperor.

However, facing his teasing, Mu Geng who was standing at the door seemed a little absent-minded - if it were according to her previous personality, she should have retorted loudly at this time, or threatened Lin Qiao to shut up by waving her little fist.

"What's wrong? You look so depressed after just coming back. Did the escort mission go wrong?"

Lin Qiao asked casually, Mu Geng looked up, then lowered his head and glanced at him secretly out of the corner of his eye.

"No... well, it's almost the same actually. I just got a little mentally weakened by the incident involving Emperor Xuanzong of Qiwu."

"I see. But you're only sixteen years old. It's easy to get wrinkles if you have a stern face at such a young age."

He walked over and took the cello case from Tina's hand. The weight inside was much lighter than expected, but he pretended to be a little strenuous and walked back into the house.

Turning his head to look at Kisara who was still standing outside the door, he sighed and gently grabbed the other's hand.

"Don't stand there stupidly. Now that you're back, put your worries aside and relax for a few days. I bought a lot of your favorite food, so I'll make your favorite beef curry today."

“.....Yeah.” He nodded absentmindedly and was pulled back to the extremely familiar coffee shop.

Looking at Lin Qiao who was walking in front of him, Mu Geng opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

"From today on, I am a member of Bandai Civilian Security Company. Please take good care of me."

"Oh~"

"Um...Long time no see, Tina."

Both Yanzhu and Bushicui showed great enthusiasm for Tina joining the cafe.

As for the true identities of Qi Wuxuanzong and Tina, Lin Qiao did not hide them from them - although she added a lot of qualifiers in the process.

"Then you two can just exchange feelings first, I'll go cook..."

He glanced at Kisara, who had been in a bad state since he came back, and said, "By the way, Kisara, come and help me."

"Eh? Me, me?" Kisara was stunned for a moment and pointed his finger at himself.

"But don't you always dislike me..."

"After all, there's one more person today, and it's rare to cook a good meal. It would take too much time for me to do it alone, so I'll leave it to you."

Lin Qiao clasped her hands together and looked like she was asking for help.

“.....Okay.” He nodded, got up from his seat, and walked towards the kitchen in silence.

"I feel that Miss Kisara is a little strange today, as if she exudes a sense of sadness..." After the two walked into the kitchen on the third floor, Bushi Cui whispered a few words with some concern.

Tina next to him glanced at him, shook her head and said nothing.

"How have you been during the days I was away?" Mu Geng asked casually while cutting vegetables.

"It's okay. Everything is fine. It's not much different from when you were here... But Yanzhu misses you a lot. Even though she always quarrels with you, she still cares about you a lot."

"If you care, then make me less angry." Kisaragi couldn't help but complain.

"I can't do anything about this. If you want to change this, you have to rely on yourself."

Lin Qiao smiled happily: "But compared to us, you are more worrying. Although the work involving the Holy Emperor is very important, you should at least pay attention to rest."

“…”

Hearing the other party's caring words, Mu Geng's hand holding the kitchen knife shook slightly, and he almost cut the chopping board in half.

"Well... Actually, the Holy Emperor wants to extend the escort time this time."

"Oh? I see. But it's up to you to decide. We don't need this little money now anyway." A look of reminiscence appeared on Lin Qiao's face.

"——Come to think of it, I remember you used to like doing easy commissions like this."

When she was first picked up and joined the police force, although Kisara had superhuman strength, she did not have much social experience because she was born into a large Tendo family.

——Although it’s not as outrageous as the first time a rich girl goes out in some movies and TV shows, it can still be said to be very vivid.

At that time, she didn't need to use her brain or deal with people. She just needed to go to that station, and the guard who had a cold face and didn't speak seemed extremely friendly.

"That...Qiao, we really..." He suddenly turned around and grabbed Lin Qiao's sleeve.

"Well, what happened?"

"No...it's just...that...never mind, it's okay, I suddenly forgot what I was going to say just now." The words were about to come out of his mouth, but when he looked into Lin Qiao's eyes, he couldn't say them for some reason, and quickly turned his back.

It seemed that the eyes were a little stingy because of cutting onions, and crystal liquid was left.

".....I just can't help myself when I think of Tina being transformed by Ayn Rand..."

"Tina, that child is indeed heartbreaking...but it's better not to mention such a tragic past, especially in front of the child himself."

Faced with Mu Geng's unusual reaction, Lin Qiao didn't care too much. She just sighed and didn't continue the topic.

You are still as dishonest as ever, Kisara...

"But you really don't have any talent for cooking. You cut the beef into such small pieces."

He smiled slightly, then walked behind her, took off the apron that was stained with some oil, and tied it on Kizaru.

"But since you've come to the kitchen today, I'll teach you a little bit about cooking... How about your favorite beef curry?"

"....Why? And so suddenly?"

"The reason is just a whim."

As the latter's body trembled slightly, he climbed up to her hand holding the kitchen knife.

"Besides, this is your favorite dish. You have to learn how to make it yourself, right?"

Chapter 244 The Rainy Day Reveals the Truth

After a sumptuous lunch, everyone in the coffee shop sat on the sofa contentedly.

The weather outside was a bit gloomy, and raindrops fell to the ground from time to time, splashing out dot-like watermarks.

"Qiao, can you go out for a walk with me?" Walking behind Lin Qiao, Mu Geng said in a somewhat low voice.

"Go out...but it's going to rain soon..." Yanzhu looked at her strangely.

But before she could finish, Lin Qiao, who was sitting next to her, patted her head gently, interrupting what she was about to say.

"Sure, it's just right. I can help digest the food after dinner."

Lin Qiao did not show any displeasure at Mu Geng's private invitation.

After telling Yeonju and Bushicui to look after the house, he picked up his coat hanging at the door and walked out of the coffee shop.

"What on earth do those two people want to do, and why did they only invite Brother Qiao..."

Watching the two people leave, Yanzhu muttered a few words in a low voice, could it be that Mu Geng wanted to do something bad secretly?

Leaning on the window, looking down at two people walking on the street one after the other.

"And why do you need to carry a weapon for a walk?"

Tina, who knew something, didn't say anything. After staying for a while, she said she was going back to pack her luggage in her original apartment and left.
