248 Skadi: Dame
Lapland never thought that she would hear the name of Texas here. The wolf cub who had just arrived in Longmen from Syracuse suddenly opened her eyes and jumped out of the bed. Like a ghost, she came to the door of the confinement room, peeked through the railings at everything outside, wanting to see what the dishonest Sakota man looked like.
Lapland had an impression of that Sakota man because he lived next door to him. Ever since he was locked up, he had been crying non-stop, as if a knife had been held against him, as if his life was being taken away.
Lappland didn't care about this kind of people and this kind of noise. In Syracuse, this kind of lovely wailing would only make people laugh. If she hadn't been stopped, Lappland would have gone over to teach the Sakota woman how to cry in a way that would be pleasant to the ear.
But unfortunately, Lappland could no longer see the Archangel who left with the Emperor. But it didn't matter, because after she came to Longmen, she finally got news of Texas. Ah, Texas, I didn't expect that you actually lived a stable life in Longmen. This won't do. How can you do this? You can't live like this.
Lappland looked at the empty space outside the railings, and a subtle smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen something. Then, she turned around and looked at the window for light. Although there were railings there, for the people of Syracuse, going to jail was just a normal thing. As for escaping from prison, although everyone in Syracuse was subject to the constraints of the Sicilian lady and was somewhat cautious about such things, it did not mean that she did not know how to escape from prison.
Just before jailbreaking...
Lappland stood at the door with a smile and called the guard in charge. Her expression and her manners exuded elegance, making people feel that the person imprisoned here was a dignified young lady.
"Hello, I don't remember committing any crime. Although I did fight on the street, you can check. I was fighting against the villain who attacked me first. Let me think about it, hmm, this should be called self-defense. So, I should be innocent and should be released."
"We will verify what you said. If it is true, the Guards will release you."
Although the police officer from the Guard Bureau did not know the name of this White Wolf, as one of the arresting officers last night, he saw this White Wolf use her pair of peculiarly shaped double swords to knock down all the thugs who had escaped from the old city to the ground. The wounds on those thugs' bodies reminded people of the wounds caused by wire mesh. This method must have been used with special training.
As for the White Wolf who was looking at the scene of blood all over the ground and even smiling, he was definitely a dangerous person as well.
Even the officers of the Guard Bureau had not seen many people like this, so they were naturally skeptical about Lappland's statement. Taking advantage of this major operation, they wanted to check the qualifications of all the arrested persons as much as possible and deal with those who were guilty or had problems according to the laws of Lungmen.
Everyone in the Longmen Guards Bureau had wanted to do this kind of thing for a long time, but they were troubled by the ambiguous attitude of their superiors. This time, the attitude is so clear, so they have to work hard no matter what.
After all, no one knows how much effort former Inspector Chen put into convincing the higher-ups to be willing to carry out this operation. Although Inspector Chen said that he had been transferred to be directly under Governor Wei, they haven't seen such a thing yet. It's just what Inspector Chen said. But no matter what, they can't let Inspector Chen's hard work go to waste. The reputation of the Longmen Guard Bureau must be promoted this time, and they must go deep into the slums.
Therefore, after the police officer of the Royal Guard Bureau gave this official reply, he turned around and went to do other things. To be honest, the workload in the past two days was really too much. Although it was painful and happy, it was still a bit unbearable.
As she watched the officers leave, Lappland's smile gradually faded, but soon, she put on another smile, but that grin was filled with indescribable madness. Now that I've proven my innocence, this confinement room is no longer my place to stay. As a Syracuse native, this is an ancestral jailbreak method. It's time to show this Longmen person...
"Forehead!!!"
Lappland skillfully removed the iron bars of the confinement room, but at the moment the bars were destroyed, Lappland saw a strange blue light flash, as if her action triggered some mechanism. A flash of lightning suddenly burst out in front of Lappland's eyes, leaving her with no room to react, and she was hit in the center of her eyebrows. Then, the white wolf fell to the ground with its fur standing on end, black smoke constantly floating from its mouth, and its limbs twitched from time to time, obviously temporarily losing consciousness.
This was naturally something left behind by Chen Huijie. As the initiator of the plan, he certainly knew how much pressure the confinement area and prison area of the Longmen Guard Bureau would be under after the operation, so he took some time out of his busy schedule to make arrangements in these two areas in advance, and worked together with the Tianshi members of the Black Cotton Shadow Guard to set up this countermeasure. It only took about an hour to complete. Chen Huijie was responsible for the main part, and the Black Cotton Shadow Guard was responsible for the subsequent improvement.
After all, in the previous world line, facing the even more overcrowded Guards Bureau, Chen Huijie also figured out corresponding means to reduce the pressure on his subordinates.
Opposite Lappland, a pair of dull, lazy eyes noticed the consequences of the white wolf. She silently glanced at the wall behind her. She had originally planned to crash out if they didn't let her out tonight, but now...
Skadi silently pulled down her hat. She didn't like the feeling of being electrocuted, so...she decided to wait a little longer. After all, her mission as a bounty hunter had been completed, so she might as well treat it as a vacation here. Hmm...it would be even better if there was a rocking chair here. Speaking of which, why do I feel like there's something extra in my dreams recently? Am I just too sensitive...
Just as Skadi the killer whale was trying to get comfortable in his confinement room, Chen Huijie had already returned to the apartment. After opening the door, he was greeted by Casimir's three foals. They would likely have a lot to discuss tonight...
249 Maena: A-choo!!!
After opening the door, Chen Huijie subconsciously raised his head and glanced into the apartment. Then he was slightly stunned, stepped back and stepped out of the door. He looked around and made sure that he was not in the wrong place before he carefully looked at the layout of the apartment.
Now, in this apartment gently touched by the soft and deep afterglow of dusk, time seems to have been deliberately slowed down. The afterglow shines through the half-closed curtains and sprinkles on the smooth floor, forming golden spots of light, which complement the carefully arranged atmosphere in the room, creating a sense of home warmth, and subtly incorporating a trace of imperceptible reluctance, as if nature is also silently mourning for this banquet that is about to end.
The light is soft and dim, just like a scene from an old movie in the old days. The deliberately low brightness not only illuminates the living room and the dining table just right, but also outlines a few deep and mysterious shadows in the corners of the room. They lie there quietly, as if they are unfinished stories, waiting for the interpretation of those who are interested.
At this time, Bai Jin gently put down the needle of the record player, and the music flowed softly, like a warm stream, slowly pouring into everyone's heart. The melody was melodious and the lyrics were profound, which could always touch the softest part of people's hearts inadvertently.
As the music flowed, under the soft light, Zofia, like a blooming night violet, gracefully descended the stairs from the second floor in a crimson-purple gown. The gown was woven from the finest silk, its surface smooth as satin, yet with a deep luster, artfully captured and embedded in the flowing fabric.
In terms of style, it cleverly combines classical and modern design elements. The waist is gently tied with a belt inlaid with tiny crystals, outlining Zofia's graceful figure, while the hem of the skirt sways gently like waves, swinging gently with her steps, as if it is the most mysterious whirlpool in the depths of the sea, evoking endless reverie.
Even more captivating were Zofia's slender legs, faintly visible beneath the light, transparent tulle of her gown, like the most alluring secret under the moonlight, both subtle and alluring. Her gait was unhurried, each step a carefully calculated dance, showcasing both feminine softness and strength, as if each step treaded on the heartstrings, stirring ripples of emotion. Zofia and the gown seemed to share an inexplicable connection, complementing and enhancing each other, making her appear both noble and charming in this moment, inviting closer yet hesitant to disturb this tranquil beauty.
"This dress is nice and suits you well. It seems I came back at the right time."
Chen Huijie smiled and closed the door. He looked at Sophia who had already come to the first floor, and Margaret who came out of the kitchen with food, and said softly:
"Have you booked your return tickets?"
".....Well, I got it done this afternoon when I went out to discuss cooperation."
Sofia paused slightly. Although she felt that she should have adapted to Chen Huijie's rhythm, but... well, it was okay. At least he had praised her instead of ignoring the clothes she had picked out for the whole afternoon. For this busy man, she could be considered a winner. After all, if it was that fierce tigress, she would not have received such praise.
Sofia felt that Chen Huijie probably didn't notice this afternoon. The tigress looked like she had just gotten off work from the Guards Bureau and came straight to the apartment.
But Sofia clearly noticed that the tigress was wearing makeup, the kind of makeup that seemed very light but quite delicate, which set off Shi Huaiya's beautiful face very well.
And she also sprayed perfume. This scheming businessman and police officer was very thoughtful, but unfortunately, Brother Chen didn't pay any attention to you at all!
Sophia had no idea whether someone had become accustomed to Shi Huaiya's style of doing things. Thinking she had won a great victory, Sophia smiled and said:
"Because of the previous beast tide, many trains were stuck at the station, so there are many trains to choose from."
"That's good. Where's Margaret?"
Chen Huijie looked at the little pony girl who was quietly serving her meal at the table and said:
"Are you taking her back with you this time?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
This time it was Bai Jin who took over the conversation. She helped to arrange the tableware, twirling the chopsticks casually, and said, somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of tableware:
"Although the Commerce Federation suffered a loss this time, it doesn't mean they will allow this young champion to return to Casimir. Even if the Commerce Federation agrees under pressure from the Supervisory Council, the No-Horned Alliance will probably continue to assassinate her."
After saying that, Bai Jin's gaze began to shift back and forth between Chen Huijie and Zofia. Although... as an employee, he shouldn't interfere in his boss's love affairs, but the thought of a member of his former mortal enemy's family becoming his boss's wife...
Don't do this kind of thing. If this seemingly cunning horse girl from the Linguang family whispers in the boss's ear, Little Platinum will be in trouble!
Thinking of this, Bai Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp. "I'm sorry, boss. This concerns my future life and career happiness. I, Bai Jin, will also help you with the position of boss lady. After all, I, Bai Jin, am your trusted general. I can't improve myself even if I want to..."
Progress? Me? The boss lady?
Alas! ! ! !
Something that suddenly flashed through his mind made Platinum's eyes straighten slightly. If he had not been an assassin of the No-Horned Alliance and had received professional training, Platinum's ears and tail would have straightened at this moment.
Calm down, calm down, don't let your imagination run wild, don't let your imagination run wild, even though the boss is handsome, rich, good at fighting, and smart...
Gu! Quick, Platinum, remember the flaws of this perfect little boss... He works hard... Damn, the little boss who works hard is also very handsome from the side...
Why are they acting stupid again?
Chen Huijie noticed Bai Jin who was about to bury her face in the table. Although it was not appropriate to use the word "silly" to describe a woman, Chen Huijie really couldn't think of a more appropriate word. In the previous world line, this guy was like this. He would suddenly become stunned at any time, and would be shy from time to time. Chen Huijie was very worried about Bai Jin's mental state.
However, according to Bai Jin, as long as Chen Huijie carried her home when she was acting stupid, her stupidity would decrease sharply. It seems that her problem is not an ordinary disease.
"In that case, let her stay here for a while. When she has some ideas, she can leave Longmen and go about her own business."
While thinking about Bai Jin, Chen Huijie briefly sorted out the current situation by asking questions. Then, he sat down with Zofia and said softly:
"Have you finished reading what I sent you?"
"I've finished reading it. How should I put it... Have you ever been to Casimir? I feel like you know more about the situation there than I, a local."
Sofia sighed helplessly. Although she had expected this, now that separation was imminent, the atmosphere did not seem as reluctant as she had imagined, and...how to put it, as for Chen Huijie's farewell gift, as far as the plan document was concerned, Sofia really needed someone to help her plan the next move.
So, the time of this farewell banquet began to pass by bit by bit as Chen Huijie praised the delicious taste and carefully pointed out various precautions to Sofia.
At this moment, Margaret couldn't help but glance at Sofia. As the assistant who had been busy with her aunt for a while this afternoon, she could naturally sense that her aunt seemed to be preparing something, as if there was something important to announce. However, looking at the rhythm of the conversation in front of her, Margaret felt that the atmosphere of the dinner that her aunt had painstakingly prepared had slowly dissipated in Chen Engong's soft voice.
Regarding this…
Why do I feel a little happy...
No no no no no!!!
Margaret, are you sane? Stop overthinking. I just want to repay my benefactor. Don't have any other thoughts!
Ah... yes, I get it. If Auntie is too embarrassed to say it out loud later, then let me speak for her. That's right, at a time like this, let me help her out!!!
And on the other side...
Why does it feel like something is not right with this little champion?
Bai Jin manipulated the chopsticks that were not very obedient, and looked at Margaret with a subtle and suspicious expression. Margaret, who suddenly became full of fighting spirit, thought for a moment and then gave up thinking on her own initiative.
It doesn't matter. No matter how these two people from the Linguang family mess around, I, Bai Jin, must protect my lifelong career!
It seems that Platinum is still not awake...
Chen Huijie complained in his heart, then continued to look at Sofia and said:
"Remember, you must be careful when collaborating with Kjerag this time. Even with Ensiodis's help, the Commerce Union won't be an easy task. Don't worry too much and just bring the Linguang family down when necessary."
"Okay, I see. So, are you done?"
Sofia knew that Chen Huijie was doing this for her own good, but when she realized that this stage was finally over, Sofia couldn't help but feel relieved.
She...actually, she didn't know. She wasn't sure what kind of feelings she had for this Mr. Chen. After all, they had only known each other for a short time, less than a week. Sophia felt that their relationship seemed to have improved a little too quickly. But think about it, with someone like Mr. Chen, it was quite normal for them to become friends in such a short time...
Therefore, she felt that if she failed to leave a deep impression on Chen Huijie at this time of parting, the next time she met him in the future, it would probably be because of some official business. By then, he would probably have too many friends!
"Well, that's all. What's going on?"
Chen Huijie looked at Sofia with some curiosity. To be honest, it was the first time he saw Sofia like this. It seemed as if she was worried that after this separation, she would never see him again.
"Then...when are you free to come to Casimir...you haven't thought about coming to Casimir to see me, have you?"
Sophia was halfway through her words when she saw Chen Huijie's expression was a little subtle, which made Sophia unable to help but stare at Chen Huijie and said:
"You're going too far! You can't go that far!"
"It's not that I'm overdoing it, but you are a little too much."
Chen Huijie sighed helplessly, looked at Sophia and said softly:
"We clearly already made an appointment, how could you forget? Even if you're angry, it should be me who's angry."
“Eh? Eh?! Ah?!”
Chen Huijie's words made Sofia a little stunned. She quickly went through her memory, recalling when she had made the appointment with Chen Huijie. At this time, Chen Huijie continued helplessly:
"You promised to introduce me to Mr. Mainna Linguang and let me spar with him. You clearly agreed to this at the beginning. We can't forget this. With this agreement, of course I will go to Casimir."
"...I certainly haven't forgotten this."
Indeed, there was this agreement, and Zofia did remember it, but...why does it make her feel so weird when she thinks about it now?
Margaret on the side was scratching her head at this. Although she wanted to assist her aunt, she felt that in order to assist well, she had to try to defeat her uncle.
There is no other way. I can only try to change the angle to hit my aunt, but how should I do it?
At this time, Margaret's eyes, who seemed to be stuck in a dead end, began to gradually become sharper. At the same time, Platinum's eyes also gradually became sharper. Although he didn't know what Margaret was thinking, Platinum always felt that she was thinking about something very dangerous.
"Of course, even without this agreement, I would still go to Casimir to see you."
At this moment, Chen Huijie smiled and gently patted Sophia's shoulder, saying softly:
"I'm so busy here, it won't take long to finish it. Even after I finish these official duties, I'll still be busy with my rangers and other official duties. But I'll definitely go see my old friends. It's just... if you think I'm too slow, you can write me a letter and I'll stop what I'm doing and come find you first. Alas, that's just how I am. I even think I'm being too much, so being friends with me really puts you in a difficult position."
"do not talk like that."
Sophia blushed slightly, gently touched Chen Huijie's hand, and whispered:
"Eat now. Don't you dislike hot food? It's about the right temperature now. You can eat it."
Just as we were saying goodbye in the apartment, W finally returned to Longmen, his expression changing as he walked towards the apartment...
250 Kal'tsit: ???
This farewell dinner came to an end quietly. Chen Huijie was not that hungry this time, but considering that it was carefully prepared by Sofia, Chen Huijie still ate two large bowls of rice. Then, in the shocked look of Bai Jin, who said, "Boss, you only eat so little," he got up and went to the second floor. He had already explained everything he needed to say to Sofia, and it was time for him to deal with other things.
For example, there should be nothing else to deal with tonight regarding this storybook for W, so you can concentrate on studying this.
Chen Huijie returned to the room and stared quietly at the storybook in his hand. His fingers gently stroked the cover. The paper looked slightly old. According to W, this book seemed to be from Wishdale.
Wishdale....
Chen Huijie sighed helplessly. Back in Kjerag, when he'd faced the god's questioning, he'd said it was over. He'd truly meant it, but to say it wasn't painful was also a lie. To put it bluntly, even if you kept a puppy by your side for half a year, you'd still develop feelings for it...
puppy....
The words that suddenly popped into his mind made Chen Huijie stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but think of an old friend. That was a good child. As long as he could eat enough, he would have nothing to worry about. But for a moment, she...
Forget it, don’t think about those things anymore, just focus on dealing with the things at hand.
Chen Huijie turned his gaze back to the book, and the words on it seemed like living things, jumping off the paper. At first glance, these words were just ordinary common language, but when his eyes really fell between the lines, he keenly caught a hint of unusual subtle changes.
Chen Huijie slowly turned the pages of the book. Every time he turned a page, he seemed to be able to feel the strange ripples emitted by the words. They swayed gently, like ripples on the water, exuding an indescribable charm.
