But now is not the time to focus on this tonic. Chen Huijie looked at the personal page of this little dragon girl and found a memo message -
'Note: On October 20th, at 12:45 AM, I didn't expect that Longmen would be hit by a natural disaster while I was studying abroad. Fortunately, there was no danger. (Not cancelled)'
Chen Huijie remembered that when he saw this record, he secretly reminded himself to strengthen the contact with the messenger of natural disasters and try his best to prevent Longmen from such disasters.
But now I think about it, Longmen shouldn't have been in such a situation back then. My uncle was particularly attentive to the prediction of natural disasters. Every time a natural disaster broke out, Longmen would receive relevant information in advance and take emergency shelter. So...
Was that near-attack really an accident?
Chen Huijie closed his eyes and carefully recalled the relevant records he saw at that time. Even though quite a while had passed, he could still remember the vague descriptions in those records.
It seems that we should shift our focus to this for the time being, so that Longmen can safely survive this period of frequent natural disasters.
But if I wanted to make it difficult for Longmen to avoid the arrival of natural disasters, what kind of destruction method would I choose?
Chen Huijie shifted his gaze back to the Longmen map, took out a pencil, and carefully drew on it.
At this moment, a light sound came from outside the apartment, as if to remind Chen Huijie that someone was outside the window. Chen Huijie said softly without raising his head:
"The window is open, just come in."
"Young man, you are really hardworking. You actually start working at this time."
The person who came in nimbly opened the window and climbed into the apartment. It was Lisa's killer mother. She sat down on the sofa without any hesitation, looking at Chen Huijie who was working seriously, and said with a smile:
"I've thought about it. Since I can't leave Longmen right now, finding a temporary job is not bad. I just don't know what kind of compensation you plan to offer, brother?"
"Haven't I already paid the reward?"
"That money? Honestly, the bank card with my daughter's birthday as the password feels more like a threat than a reward..."
"I am indeed threatening you, but guess what I am threatening you about?"
While concentrating on marking on the map, Chen Huijie said casually:
"You've got a pretty good plan. On one hand, you're trying to deflect the blame and kill someone with a borrowed knife, while on the other hand, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. You two groups are pretty well-informed."
Hearing this, the killer's mother fell into silence. She did stay in Longmen because of the beast tide riot, but before that, she came to Longmen to avoid the pursuers from the East Country.
Because she understood that the people of the East had unusual ambitions for this land. They could launch activities in Longmen under the pretext of recovering the Child of God, and even if they were found, they could retreat through reasonable diplomatic means.
As for that Madam Wen Yue...
The killer's mother believed that the pursuers from the north of the East Kingdom would not seek her help, because that princess was from the south, and the pursuers from the south of the East Kingdom would not seek her help either. After all, the princess's value was not to be wasted on such trivial matters.
And she wanted to take advantage of the distraction of the Eastern pursuers to take Lisa back to Syracuse, which she was familiar with. In that chaotic land, she had many ways to make sure that the Eastern people would never return.
But this damn beast tide... this damn beast tide made all her plans go awry, forcing her to choose the Longmen faction to seek temporary shelter.
However... this guy seemed to have seen through his own thoughts from the very beginning...
"Since there are no children here, let's talk about some adult topics."
Chen Huijie was still concentrating on marking on the map, but the killer's mother had already felt that an invisible aura was locking onto her, and the breath of death began to linger at her nose.
"Since you want to gain benefits from Longmen, then you should also be prepared to repay Longmen. Considering that the thing you provoked didn't cause any trouble, make amends and give you a chance to choose in the future. How about that?"
"Hey...brother, have you ever been to Syracuse? This tone doesn't sound like a negotiation at all, it feels strangely familiar to me."
At this moment, the killer's mother's expression turned serious. She looked at Chen Huijie and said in a serious tone:
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
“Go here…”
Before Chen Huijie finished speaking, footsteps and a slightly shy voice were heard from the stairs:
"Excuse me, are you... awake?"
072 The little brother is playing very colorfully
Sofia was in a dilemma. Although the bed was soft and she slept comfortably, after waking up and looking at her dirty and torn clothes, she really didn't want to put them on again.
But Sofia checked all the rooms on the second floor and did not find any clothes. Moreover, Sofia also noticed that the rooms on the second floor seemed to have not been lived in for some time, and all the furniture was covered with a thin layer of dust.
So where does this person usually rest? Does he sleep on the sofa for a long time?
This thought flashed through Sofia's mind unconsciously, but compared to this, there was a more important thing that needed her to decide at the moment. Sofia looked at her body, then at her niece who was still in a coma, and then at their clothes.
In the end, Sofia wrapped her body in her windbreaker with the shyness of a lady. Hearing a sound coming from downstairs, she spoke as she walked downstairs.
So, Chen Huijie and the killer's mother saw that as the footsteps sounded, a pair of round, white, plump and well-proportioned legs appeared in their field of vision. Just by looking at them, Chen Huijie knew that these legs should be soft and comfortable to hug, and they would definitely not lack strength and speed.
"I have a guest here."
Chen Huijie's voice made Zofia stop suddenly. The hanging windbreaker created an alluring mysterious area, and then the pair of white beautiful legs disappeared from the sight of the two people downstairs.
Afterwards, the killer's mother looked at Chen Huijie with a playful smile. She didn't expect that this guy who looked so abstinent could actually have fun in private.
"...Look at this."
Chen Huijie also noticed the strange look, but he did not respond. He just continued with the previous topic and pointed to the location he marked on the map.
"Gather intelligence at these locations. The standards for gathering intelligence will follow the rules of Syracuse. Whatever you gather or discover, remember to report to me every night. This phone has my contact information and other instructions."
Chen Huijie took out a second-hand mobile phone that he had prepared long ago from the drawer and threw it into the killer's mother's arms. The Syracuse killer nodded, put it away, took the map, and nimbly climbed out of the window.
But before leaving, this man gave Chen Huijie a teasing look, as if reminding him to take care of his health and not drain the delicate body upstairs.
Chen Huijie had nothing good to say about this. He just stood up calmly and started to boil the medicine. He recalled the battle with Sui Xiang just now and thought about what kind of shortcomings his swordsmanship had exposed.
Just like that, after a few minutes of silence, when Chen Huijie was holding the casserole and preparing to swallow it, footsteps were heard again upstairs. It was obviously Sofia who showed up again.
Chen Huijie waved his finger, and his backup device was thrown over by the control of the true energy, and he said calmly:
"The payment password is 111111. If you want to buy any clothes, just buy them yourself. It's a bit strange for me to go to a women's clothing store alone."
After all, they were friends from their previous life. Chen Huijie could still figure out Sofia's thoughts if he thought about it carefully. If he was not so familiar with her now, Chen Huijie would have picked the clothes for her.
She dragged me shopping for three days. Although Zofia kept changing clothes for me, which was a pleasing sight, she said that after I picked out the clothes, she would take me to Mr. Mainna for a discussion. I always felt that I was cheated by this bad woman.
".....Thank you. I will return you double the money for the clothes."
Sofia didn't expect that her thoughts were guessed. She held the hem of her windbreaker with one hand and caught the phone with the other, then quickly opened the online shopping app and looked for clothes that suited her.
At this time, Sofia said casually as if she didn't care:
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what to call you, sir?"
"Chen Huijie, Chen of Chenshu..."
Chen Huijie repeated the usual explanation, then drank the medicine in one gulp and cleared his throat awkwardly. This time the medicine was too sweet and it made his throat choke.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help. The Linguang family will never forget your kindness. However, you... seem to know the true situation here. How did you know this?"
Speaking of this issue, Sofia's eyes became sharper. Last night, she felt as if something was wrong, but she was too tired. As she was thinking, she fell asleep with her head touching the pillow.
Then she suddenly woke up in the middle of her sleep. It was because of this young man's attitude towards his niece. The Linguang family announced to the outside world that she was an infected person. This young man's attitude was so gentle, which did not seem like the attitude he should have towards an infected person. That's why Sofia asked him vaguely and tentatively.
"Just tell me the truth about Margaret. Why are you beating around the bush and trying to trick me?"
Chen Huijie rinsed his mouth with water and said softly:
"I know Margaret isn't infected. The title is just a protection given by the Linguang family to allow her to leave safely. As for how I know... Miss Zofia, it seems our relationship isn't close enough to allow us to share intelligence networks."
"Indeed, I was offended."
Sofia paused slightly, nodded honestly to admit this, and then, at the same time, she walked down the stairs and came to the living room. After all, it was too embarrassing for Sofia to stand on a high place and talk to people below in a near vacuum.
"I heard that Mr. Mayenna of the Rinkou family is unparalleled in swordsmanship."
At this moment, Chen Huijie suddenly spoke, interrupting Sofia's next words, and the content of his words made Sofia listen carefully, not only out of courtesy, but also because Mainna Linguang is now one of the decision-makers of the Linguang family. When it comes to him, Sofia must find out what Chen Huijie is going to do.
"I hope there will be an opportunity in the future for me to exchange a few words with that gentleman, just enough to get to the point. This has nothing to do with nationality, race, or grudges. It's simply an exchange between warriors. I hope Miss Zofia can convey this wish for me."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it. If I ever meet Maenna again in the future, I'll definitely remember to tell him this."
Sofia nodded seriously. She felt Chen Huijie's sincerity, just like the oath of Knight Casimir. But for some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be a hint of resentment in Chen Huijie's words.
Ding Dong~ Ding Dong~ Ding Dong~~~
Coming so fast?!
Just then, Sofia heard the doorbell and looked at the door in surprise. Although she spent a lot of money on expedited shipping, it was delivered not long after she placed the order. It seems that the expensive price does have its benefits.
However, just when Sophia was about to ask Chen Huijie to get something for her, the sound of a key being inserted suddenly came from the other side of the door...
073 I was being sentimental
Soon, when she heard the sound of keys, Sofia immediately realized that it was not the logistics person who came, but the other owner of the apartment!
Seriously, if you have roommates, please tell me earlier! Isn't this embarrassing?
Zofia hurriedly tried to rush upstairs, but she was still a step too slow. The door of the apartment was flung open, and a little tiger, carrying breakfast, swung the door shut with its tail, and rushed in excitedly, shouting:
"Chen Huijie, you're too slow to open the door...oh?"
Shi Huaiya looked at Zofia who quickly tucked her smooth thighs into the hem of her windbreaker, and then looked at Chen Huijie who was only wearing a shirt. For a moment, the apartment was silent. Zofia couldn't help but tap the floor with her toes awkwardly. The atmosphere at the moment was really weird. Why did it feel like the wife was catching the mistress?
"So... you're busy with something. No wonder I was wondering why you were so slow to open the door."
Shi Huaiya still had a smile on his face, but that fake smile didn't really show that he was happy.
Then, Shi Huaiya glanced at the broken floor and the damaged furniture around it. She couldn't even maintain her fake smile. She threw her breakfast onto the table, sat on the sofa, put her left leg on her right leg, stared at Chen Huijie expressionlessly, and said:
"Mr. Chen, I remember I only lent the apartment to you. Although I shouldn't interfere with your personal life, I don't like the fact that something that shouldn't be there has appeared on my property without my knowledge. And I don't like it even more that my property has been messed up like this!"
Shi Huaiya stared at Chen Huijie and said word by word:
“I feel like I’m not being respected as I should be!”
"Well, Miss, please listen to me..."
"..."
Sofia hurriedly wanted to explain something, but she found that Shi Huaiya completely ignored her meaning. No matter what she said, the landlord seemed not to listen. Therefore, Sofia could only quickly look at Chen Huijie.
Mr. Chen, please say something! Don't just stand there!
Then, under the gaze of these two people, Chen Huijie suddenly laughed, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his smile, which made Shi Huaiya feel inexplicably flustered. She subconsciously reflected on whether she had said something too harsh...
This... seems to be a bit too much, but he did it wrong. He messed up this place like this and brought a woman back to sleep with him. This woman is as beautiful as me...
I'm the landlord! No matter what, you should at least tell me. Even if you just said you accidentally broke it and want to bring a friend to stay temporarily, I'm not going to refuse...
Well, I would probably agree.
"Let me explain what's going on in this living room first."
Chen Huijie took out the contact card left by the construction manager from his pocket and whispered to Shi Huaiya:
"Last night, Governor Wei and Mr. Rat King came here and gave me some pointers. I couldn't help but get a little hands-on, so I sparred with them a few times. That's how the living room ended up like this. Mr. Rat King also promised to have his men restore it to its original state. I didn't expect... this is the contact information of the Rat King's subordinates. Officer Shi Huaiya can verify it if you don't believe me."
Hearing this, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but put her legs down and subconsciously caught the business card that Chen Huijie threw to her, but she had no intention of checking it. She felt that Chen Huijie would not lie to her about such a thing.
Moreover, discussing with Governor Wei and Mr. Lin... Just by listening to these words, you can tell that the actual situation is definitely not as easy as he said. As such, it is already quite difficult for this living room to maintain its current appearance.
"As for this person, she is a member of the Casimir Linguang family's branch, Miss Zofia, the former Casimir Tournament Knight Whipblade, and the aunt of Miss Margaret Linguang, who is still sleeping upstairs."
At this time, Chen Huijie began to introduce the identities of the people next to him, and Sofia also smiled gracefully at Shi Huaiya.
"Last night, a natural disaster broke out on the west side of Longmen. Officer Shi Huaiya can also investigate this. After meeting with Governor Wei and Mr. Rat King, I went there to search and happened to run into Zofia and her niece. In the face of a natural disaster, I couldn't just stand by and watch them perish. After rescuing them and returning to Longmen, it was already late at night, so I placed them here."
Having said that, Chen Huijie paused and said softly:
"This is what happened. Although it all happened for a reason and sounds excusable, I have to admit that I never thought about telling you these things, officer. I really lack respect for you. If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment..."
Seeing Chen Huijie taking out the apartment key, Shi Huaiya could no longer sit still. She stood up abruptly, feeling regretful. What had happened to her? Why had she gotten so carried away? Chen Huijie was clearly not that kind of person. She should have figured out there was something hidden. Why had she… Oh no! I was almost pissed off at myself!!!
On the other side, Sofia's expression also became serious. She felt that she seemed to have understood everything. At the moment, it seemed that Brother Chen felt that he had a good relationship with the police officer and did not need to be so polite, but the actual situation was completely different from what he thought. It was just wishful thinking on his part.
