As the door of the secret room opened, the emperor's gaze immediately shifted over and he said jokingly. At the same time, Mostima and Fiammetta, who were sitting opposite the emperor, also looked at Chen Huijie in unison. The former's eyes were full of meaningful scrutiny, while the latter's eyes were wide open, as if she suddenly didn't know how to deal with Chen Huijie.
"Not really, not really. It's just a remnant soul. It can't take my life."
Chen Huijie pressed his temple with one hand, then threw the staff into Mostima's arms and said:
"Okay, I've got what I wanted. I'm a little full, so I'll take my leave and go home to rest."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Come, sit down. I haven't finished asking you any questions yet."
The emperor had no intention of letting Chen Huijie go back. He had so many questions to ask about Wei Laoer's nephew from another world. Things in another world... were very interesting just thinking about them.
"My world and your world are actually quite different. Many things and time points are subtly different."
Chen Huijie knew what the emperor wanted to ask without even looking at him, but he really didn't know much about the emperor. As for the fact that everyone in Penguin Logistics went their separate ways, it was because they each had their own things to do, just like classmates who had spent three years in high school and were about to head towards their own future after the college entrance examination.
But Chen Huijie felt that the emperor would not be able to accept such a simple statement. He would definitely think that he was fooling him. But if he explained it in detail to each person and followed the emperor's requirements, he would have to explain every detail...
Chen Huijie was reluctant about this. This was an experience he and his friends had had, a memory that could be called a treasure. This kind of thing could not be used as a topic of conversation, let alone as evidence in order to gain the trust of the "Flower of Similarity".
Therefore, when dealing with the emperor, from the very beginning, do not arouse his curiosity excessively. This beast master will act on his thoughts and quickly put this idea aside.
"Not much to say. I didn't sleep last night, so I should go get some rest. Mr. Emperor, you probably don't want me to die suddenly again, do you?"
"...You beat me, kid."
The emperor was so stunned by these words that he didn't know how to respond. To be honest, this kid's physique was really outrageous. If Wei Yanwu hadn't personally guaranteed it, he really wouldn't believe that this kid's physique could create a natural disaster with a sword.
"But can you sleep well when you go back?"
But the emperor was never one to suffer a loss. He immediately looked at Chen Huijie and said with a wicked smile:
"I've seen your plan. These past two days are probably the busiest time. As the person in charge, why don't you go to the Governor's Mansion and have a good discussion with Wei Lao Er instead of going to sleep?"
Hearing this, Chen Huijie looked back at the emperor and said softly:
"I've already finished what I needed to do last night. Governor Wei and the Rat King don't need my help with the remaining matters."
After saying that, Chen Huijie clasped his fists and said goodbye to everyone from Penguin Logistics, then disappeared. At this moment, Mostima and Fiammetta heard the Emperor smack his lips twice and couldn't help but say:
"It's really hard to lure this kid into a trap. Girls, why didn't you say anything just now?"
"Boss, what should we say?"
Mastema smiled and twirled her staff, saying:
"Actually, I really hate things like 'prophecy'. I'm not a substitute. After all, this is just the first time we meet. Goodbye, boss."
After saying this, Mostima activated the power of his staff and 'disappeared' from the room with Fiammetta. Then, the next second, the newly dressed Archangel ran in, looked at the Emperor, raised the apple pie in his hand, and shouted:
"Let's have a party... Qin? Has Brother Jie left yet?"
Elsewhere, after leaving Penguin Logistics, Chen Huijie prepared to head to the slums. While there was no need to worry about Rat King's abilities, he still had to keep an eye on Lin Yuxia. On the way, Chen Huijie collected another reward for canceling his trip, and then...
"Can someone explain to me what [XXX Limited Time Trial Card] is? What does this [XXX] mean?"
~~~~~
Chapter 153 Shi Huaiya: I’m on a blind date with Chen Huijie?
Note: February 27th, 10:34 AM. Although Yuxia's takeover of the slums is progressing smoothly, I feel that this pace is a bit too fast. Some thorns are deliberately hidden deep inside. Find an opportunity to remind her. (Trip canceled)
The above is the second cancelled itinerary today. In the previous world line, Lin Yuxia has officially begun to take over the position of Rat King. Chen Huijie also stopped his study tour and rushed back to help. He noticed some problems and worked with Uncle Lin to pick out one or two of them, so that Lin Yuxia could practice and know how to properly handle such situations in the future.
When Lin Yuxia's work was on track, Chen Huijie also left Longmen and went to Casimir. Don't ask, the only thing he knew was that Margaret had written to him saying that her uncle had recently returned and should be free to practice swordsmanship with him.
then……
Just when Chen Huijie left Casimir and was in Victoria, he received the news that Uncle Lin had passed away and his uncle was seriously injured. Chen Huijie immediately realized that something big might have happened to Yuxia. After writing a reply, he hurried back. Even when Chen Huijie rushed back to Longmen, the expedited letter he wrote in Victoria had not been delivered yet.
But even so, Chen Huijie was still a step slow. Once many things start, it is not so easy to stop them, let alone to reverse them.
Thinking of this, Chen Huijie silently glanced downstairs. Lin Yuxia was quickly carrying out various tasks with the assistance of the elder of the Lin family. Chen Huijie had an impression of this elder of the Lin family. When the Lin family was in turmoil, this elder of the Lin family and several other guards fought to the death to protect Uncle Lin's coffin and blocked all the dirty hands that attempted to taint Uncle Lin's appearance. When he arrived, they were already dying and eventually died standing upright with their knives in their hands.
Therefore, this person should still be trustworthy, and this person should also be sent by Uncle Lin to help Lin Yuxia. Otherwise, based on Lin Yuxia's current personality, she would not take the initiative to ask the elders in her family to come and help.
So, Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief and took out the reward that had been marked as cancelled.
【Item:XXX Limited Time Trial Card】
【Henshin! 】
If this favorability system had a complaint interface, I would definitely complain about this Riddler-like item introduction.
Chen Huijie couldn't help but mutter this in his mind, and then tried to activate this prop to see what it was.
Then, as the prop was clicked and used, Chen Huijie saw a window pop up from the position of [Xxx]. In that window, names were arranged vertically, even the undercover A Shui who was rescued at the beginning was in it.
Seeing this, Chen Huijie immediately realized something and held his chin thoughtfully. He thought that this should be a limited-time disguise card, which would allow him to become the chosen person. As for what would happen after that, there were many explanations, and perhaps a lot of things could be expanded from it.
However, there is another plan. If I can become the gang boss I planned through this, this time Longmen...
Tsk, that shouldn't be necessary. I've already made such a thorough plan, with the participation of Governor Wei and the Rat King. Although I'm responsible for providing a backup, using up a valuable item... Not that necessary. The Longmen Gang hasn't received the support of Syracuse and Ursus yet, so it's not that difficult to deal with.
However, this list of choices still has some meaning. Maybe...
"Beep beep beep beep!!!"
At this moment, Chen Huijie's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After answering the call, the killer's mother's voice came from the other end of the line:
"Brother Chen?"
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"Aren't you being a little too deliberate and obvious?"
The assassin from Syracuse stood in the shadows and said helplessly:
"This morning, I've noticed several groups of people fanning the flames. Anyone in the gang's upper echelons who isn't a fool should realize something's amiss. If this continues... I'm afraid... let everyone else retreat. I'll handle this alone."
"Even if they realize it, those guys won't try to calm down. They all have full confidence in their own power and feel that the stagnant waters in the slums need to be stirred up. Their ambition will actively push the situation forward."
"Have you ever thought about how big a commotion this will be?"
The killer's mother looked at the relatively peaceful streets outside and couldn't help but say:
"The common people of Longmen are not like those in Syracuse who would avoid the melee."
"The bigger the commotion, the safer it will be for the people. Okay, go ahead. Don't worry. Everything is under control."
After saying that, Chen Huijie hung up the phone. The killer's mother had nothing more to say, so she could only sigh and continue her actions.
At this time, in the Guard Bureau, all the police officers began to move nervously. Several undercover agents and subordinates said that there was an unusual disturbance among the gangs in the slums, and there seemed to be signs of a gunfight.
Gang fights are not uncommon for the Guards. The small gangs in the slums fight each other every now and then, and they are used to it.
However, the noise and scale of this incident were beyond their expectations. Even the Rat King's gang seemed to be involved. They had to be on high alert. After all, the Guards Bureau was a symbol of Longmen's law, and they couldn't just stand by and watch as the situation got worse.
Chen Huijie and Xingxiong were naturally very busy, but after lunch, Chen Huijie encountered some strange things.
It's like someone came to report a case and said that he was robbed, but the robber said that he was the victim, and then the two people started arguing in public and wanted to judge the case themselves.
There was also a person who was dressed fairly decently and came to beg from her, saying that she had spent all her savings on her family's medical treatment, but the illness was not cured. Now she wanted to celebrate her family's last birthday, so could she give her some money?
Then, Chen Huijie, who had generously donated money, turned around and saw the man stealing things. After catching the man on the spot, the man begged if she could go to celebrate her birthday and then follow Chen Huijie back to the confinement room. Chen Huijie thought she was a liar, but she didn't expect that after following her, she really saw her dying family member.
After that, there were other incidents such as being framed and morally blackmailed. Although Chen Huijie dealt with those things quickly, she felt that there was something indescribable wrong with them. She always felt that their occurrence was not a coincidence, but she could not find any evidence. Chen Huijie could only let it go and get busy with her work.
In a place that Chen Huijie didn't notice, there were two figures hiding in different corners, secretly observing Chen Huijie's reaction. They were the envoys who came to observe Chen Huijie on the orders of the Emperor of Dayan and the Grand Tutor of Dayan respectively.
The two set out almost at the same time, using similar methods, and rushed here at night. After arriving at Longmen, they started to work on their tasks without even drinking a sip of water.
After all, although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, I have been with His Majesty for many years, so I can naturally sense what His Majesty is thinking. I think at this moment, His Majesty is waiting for my report (reply). In this case, how can I let His Majesty wait too long?
These two people were also experts and masters. When they were planning, they cleverly concealed their own traces. As a result, when they observed Chen Huijie, they felt that something was not right. How could so many events happen that were not planned by them but could be used to complete the task? This did not seem to be a matter of good luck.
However, these two people were the confidants of the emperor and the grand tutor. They felt that something was wrong, but they could not find their opponents and could not break their moves. Therefore, they could only secretly remember this matter just in case.
As for their mission, the Crown Prince's attendant thought for a moment and decided to submit a memorial centered around the theme of "straightforward and innocent nature, promising future." The Grand Tutor's attendant was mentally preparing a draft, thinking about how to convey to the adults the great potential of Officer Chen.
Then the two of them felt puzzled at the same time, thinking that this little guy who was not too outstanding and might be used as a knife in the internal struggle of the court was worth making a special trip. After all, the reaction of this little guy did not seem to be fake.
But no matter what, since I've been ordered here, I must do my best to handle things properly. His Majesty's order must have a deep meaning. I can't let my own speculation ruin His Majesty's important task. But before that...
The two men held their waists in unison. That damn acceleration device was really too torturous. No wonder Tianshi Mansion did not allow it to be used externally. If someone with a weak physique used it, they would probably die on the way. Now, let me take a break.
Just like that, the two emissaries from Baizao retreated. They needed a break because they could sense the tense atmosphere within Longmen. Some things couldn't be hidden in the chaos...
At the same time, when everyone in the Guard Bureau was busy, Shi Huaiya rarely left her job. She dreamed of some... not-so-good things last night, and now she needed to find the sick tiger to verify the trap she encountered in her dream.
After she woke up, she felt that it was a trap that her grandfather had dug a long time ago, waiting for her to jump in. What did he mean by this? She clearly didn't plan to stay in the family, so why did this sick tiger still trick her?
Shi Huaiya also had to admit that if her funding chain was compromised like this, her subsequent actions in the Guards Bureau would be affected to a certain extent.
"Hmph, okay. You still have some brains. Even though it was a little late, at least you reacted before taking action."
Looking at the documents that Shi Huaiya threw on the table, Adams knew what this guy was doing here just by looking at the file name. He moved his body slightly, feeling the sunlight on his body, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that last night's treatment was really good. Normally, this sunlight didn't feel that warm.
"Now that you've realized it, I won't be in charge of what happens next. How much benefit you can get from it depends on your own ability."
"My grandfather, so you think you can get rid of me like this?"
Shi Huaiya sat on the chair, staring at his grandfather and said:
"Like I said, my goal is to become the director of the Imperial Guards. I'm not interested in the family business, so could you please not use your training methods on me? I don't like it."
"Humph, Chief of the Imperial Guard? Forget it, you can't become one."
Hearing this, Shi Huaiya was about to explode, but Adams immediately added a sentence, which immediately stopped her from exasperating:
"Or do you think you can suppress that kid named Chen? Wei Lao Er won't let such a young talent get away. Counting the positions in Longmen, besides the Director of the Imperial Guard, there are other more suitable positions. Could it be that Wei Lao Er is going to give up the Governor to him?"
Having said that, Adams' temper calmed down a little due to his improved health. He looked at Shi Huaiya and said in a slightly softer tone:
"So, young man, don't get carried away and bang your head against the wall. If you can't swallow the humiliation of being the second-in-command of the Guards in the future, at least you can return to the family. You useless thing, it's a rare occasion for me to worry about you, and you come here and take advantage of me. By the way, how do you feel about kid Chen?"
"……What do you mean?"
Shi Huaiya's expression froze, and he stared at his grandfather, and said in a somewhat dry voice:
"Don't mess around."
"Humph, messing around? When have I ever been messing around?"
Adams leaned on the soft cushion, looked at Shi Huaiya's appearance, and said unhappily:
"That guy is a good person, capable, and good-looking. If you don't mind him, next time he comes to see me, I'll mention it. You two can set a date and go on a blind date. If it's a good match, then finalize it for me. Of course, after that, we don't need him to marry into our family..."
"You...you are not allowed to do anything rash! I'm warning you! You are not allowed to talk nonsense to outsiders! Do you hear me?"
Shi Huaiya's scream interrupted Adams' words. Shi Huaiya frantically tried to pick up the document twice but failed. In the end, she could only stamp her feet and glare at her grandfather and said:
"Oh my God, you...you have to listen to what you're saying. This isn't the past anymore. The arranged marriage is over. I...I make my own decisions! That guy Chen Huijie...I don't like him! I don't have much affection for him, so don't mess around, don't mess around. I...I have something else to do. I'm leaving now. Let's end this matter here!"
After saying that, Shi Huaiya disappeared in front of Adams. Adams sighed helplessly, looked back at the curtains, and said softly:
"What about you, Chen kid, what do you think?"
~~~~~
Chapter 154 Amiya: I want to go to Longmen!
"So, you called me here just to let me hear this?"
Behind the curtain beside Adams, Chen Huijie looked at the sick tiger helplessly, feeling a bit troubled. He had just planned to go to the Guard Bureau. In the next operation, everyone in the Guard Bureau was the key.
Although Chen Huijie felt that Governor Wei would also be aware of this key point and would strictly supervise it, he was free now and it was also on his way, so it would be a good idea to go over and take a look to find out what was missing.
Then, when Chen Huijie was about to float to the door of the Guard Bureau, he received a call from Mr. Adams. On the phone, his voice was very weak... Well, this person was weak to begin with, so when Chen Huijie heard what Mr. Adams said -
'I'm dying. I feel like my body is about to lose all control. I shouldn't have been so rash as to think that finding a more reliable warrior could replicate your actions. Mr. Chen, if you're alright, please come and see if I can be saved.'
To be honest, Chen Huijie's first reaction was that Adams was fooling him. There were questions in his words, but what made Mr. Adams, the actual controller of this big consortium, plot against him in this way, more or less aroused Chen Huijie's curiosity.
Therefore, Chen Huijie changed his direction and headed towards the hospital. Then, when Chen Huijie flew into Adams' ward through the window, he saw the sick tiger winking at him. Chen Huijie understood and hid behind the curtains. Then, Chen Huijie heard Shi Huaiya's voice.
Just when Chen Huijie was wondering whether Adams should use his hand to hit Shi Huaiya, he heard the sick tiger's "blind date declaration". At this point, Adams's thoughts were exposed.
Chen Huijie looked at Mr. Adams with a helpless look. To be honest, the opportunity just now was quite suitable. Although Shi Huaiya's personal abilities were outstanding, she still had some arrogance of a young lady.
