Yue Chengliu's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, which made Zhe feel uneasy for a moment. He had been prepared to be questioned and misunderstood, but Cangjiao's reaction was unexpected.

"It's nothing, Sister Liu. I was just talking to Brother Zhe about the plot of the movie. No, don't worry..."

Sokka wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her explanation made Tsukishiro Ryuu breathe a sigh of relief. Behind her was Suzu who hurriedly followed, as well as Nekomata and Ambi who came to check on the situation from the next room.

The two had originally planned to wait for Zhe to play the videotape for Sokka before letting him come over, but they didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ling, my behavior was a bit too rude."

Yue Chengliu apologized to Ling somewhat embarrassedly, saying that the second floor was a private area and no one could come up there without permission.

But because she heard Cangjiao crying, she was anxious and didn't care about so much. Now that she found out it was a misunderstanding, of course she had to apologize.

After the misunderstanding was explained, Yuecheng Liu took Cangjiao back, and Zhe was relieved about this, but what he didn't know was.

On the way back, Cangjiao asked Liu a question.

"Sister Liu, what do you think it feels like to kiss someone you like?"

"Eh? Why are you asking that? Did you watch some weird video again?"

This was the first thing Liu thought of, and Cang Jiao shook his head, but then nodded, and then asked a question without any context.

"Sister Liu, what do you think of Brother Zhe?"

"Eh? Zhe?"

Yue Chengliu, who was suddenly asked this question, didn't know how to answer for a moment, and recalled the scene when he met Zhe in his mind.

Especially the first time, when she was temporarily blinded due to the sequelae and was sent home by Zhe.

The feeling he gave me was that he was handsome, warm, reliable, and someone I could entrust my life to... No, I was accidentally led astray by Cang Jiao.

"Cangjiao, why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Hey, Sister Liu, don't worry about it for now, just answer me first, okay? Okay!"

Liu had no way to counter Cang Jiao's coquettish behavior, and could only touch the other person's head lovingly.

"Well, in my opinion, Zhe is a very good person. He is gentle, reliable, kind, helpful, and a good cook."

Speaking of this, Cangkao seems to like the food cooked by Zhe as well. If I go out to work in the future, I would have less worries if there was someone like this at home to take care of Cangkao.

Liu thought so unconsciously, and after hearing this, Cangjiao smiled happily at first, but then continued to ask.

"Does Sister Liu like Brother Zhe?"

"Eh? Saying you like something all of a sudden is a bit..."

"Well, Sister Liu..."

Cang Jiao used his coquettish tactics once again, and it was incredibly effective! However, Yue Cheng Liu didn't answer directly.

"A boy as outstanding as Zhe, I'm sure any girl would be attracted to him."

"Hey? Where's Sister Liu?"

"No more fooling around, Ashen Horn."

"All right……"

Cang Jiao lowered his head in disappointment, but he got the answer he wanted. All he had to do next was create an opportunity for Brother Zhe and Sister Liu to meet.

Let their relationship improve, then we can win Brother Zhe back. That’s right, let’s do it!

"Sister Liu, you said you'd invite Brother Zhe to our house for dinner. When is he free?"

"As for this, it will probably take a while, right? After all, I'm pretty busy with classes these days."

Yuecheng Liu thought about it and felt that this matter really needed to be put on the agenda. After all, both he and Cangjiao had been taken care of by each other.

He helped me a lot today, and before leaving, he even said that if there is a similar situation in the future, I can just leave it to him.

It really makes people feel at ease. It feels like the woman is working outside and the husband is raising their daughter at home.

Chapter 189 Heading to the Outer Ring

One day a few days later.

Just after Zhe posted the latest chapter at the urging of a certain young lady, he received a message from the shepherd.

The other party also said that he had been working near 6th Street in recent days and wanted to meet him. It seemed that there was news about the whereabouts of Perlman that he had asked the other party to inquire about before.

So Zhe told Ling and made an appointment with the shepherd to come to the store...

"My two Phaethons, my old friends! It's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately?"

After the shepherd walked into the store, he immediately greeted the brother and sister warmly, and this time the sisters also brought him the tea he had been longing for.

"Thanks to you it's not bad. Of course, it would be even better if you could bring in the business we need."

"Hey, Brother Zhe, what are you talking about? Haven't you been very close to Miss Qimingxing recently? She should have introduced you to many good commissions, right? Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

The shepherd’s words left the brother and sister speechless. Why did he act as if they were the ones who had betrayed him?

"From what you said, are you going to disappoint us?"

The brother and sister knew the shepherd's character very well. He said this because he hadn't done the job he had asked him to do. And sure enough, his next words were...

"Listen to me, you two, this is completely force majeure.

To ensure election security, the city has recently stepped up security, deploying personnel not only on major highways but also at the exits connecting to the outer ring road..."

The shepherd said a lot of things, just to tell the brother and sister that it was not that he didn't try hard, but that he really didn't allow it, but he still gave them a way out.

That is, if you want to get information in the outer ring, you can try to get to know the motorcyclists there.

"That's all I have to say, you two. I won't disturb you from doing business anymore. If you change your mind and want to make some easy money in the near future, please feel free to contact me."

After saying this, the shepherd drank the last bit of tea in the cup and left in a hurry. After that, the brother and sister discussed the existing information.

"While we've obtained some useful information, the search for Perlman hasn't gotten any easier."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Outer Ring is completely outside our scope of business."

Zhe was thinking about what to do next. Although they had Caesar's contact information, it was still too sudden to tell him directly about this.

Besides, there has been less and less news about Pearlman in the city recently, and even Fairy can't find anything useful.

This made Zhe feel very strange. Perlman's escape had caused a lot of uproar, and the Public Security Bureau was also looking for him. Logically, as time went by, all kinds of information should be flying around.

This made him doubt whether Perlman was still alive. He could still rely on HAND for the investigation of [Sacrificial Ghost], but the lawsuit represented by Cunning Rabbit House would probably have to be put on hold.

At this moment, Fairy suddenly interrupted.

"Master, Assistant No. 2, I received a call from Billy. Would you like to connect me?"

"We were just talking about them... Fairy, please answer the phone."

After getting Zhe's confirmation, Billy's voice came from the communication.

"Oh, so Zhe and the others are at home! I sent you a message just now but you haven't replied."

"Sorry, there were customers in the store just now and I wasn't paying attention to my phone."

Zhe explained briefly, but Billy didn't pay any attention to it and turned to business.

"You two, I have something very important to tell you, and it would be best if I could tell you in person. I'm at the intersection behind the Minstrel Needle. Could you please come over here for a moment?"

After Billy said this, he had to hang up the phone because of some things. Seeing this, Zhe had no choice but to go over and meet him.

Soon after, Billy was seen standing next to a big truck at the intersection, with the red pig Bomb beside him.

"Oh, Zhe, you're here, so fast!"

Billy immediately waved and greeted Zhe after noticing him, while the latter looked at the truck with [Pig Rush] printed on it and the Bomb with a look of surprise.

"Billy, have you made a fortune? Or have you quit the Rabbit House?"

"Hey, how is this possible? You know, I'm still very satisfied with my current life. Besides, Boss Nicole hasn't given me a single penny of the dividends she promised."

Well, don’t dream about dividends. I’m afraid you won’t get them in this lifetime.

Zhe complained in his mind, while Billy explained that Che and Bomb were both from an outer-ring motorcycle tribe called the Sons of Calydon.

Although this car has a pass for New Elido, the queues for non-citizens entering and leaving the city have been too slow recently, so Billy temporarily serves as their driver to transport some goods. After all, the other party is also his old employer.

After learning this, Zhe was also surprised.

"Billy, so you know the bikers."

"Yes, actually I worked there for quite a long time, and it was only later by chance that I came to the city.

Ah, we can talk about this later. I have something important to tell you now—the son of Calydon has information about Perlman!"

Zhe was not too shocked after hearing this, but asked calmly and carefully.

"Really? What exactly happened?"

"I asked about this at the time, but the second-in-command of the Sons of Calydon said we couldn't disclose it easily. They knew we were looking for Perlman and said they could provide valuable exclusive information, but the condition was that we discuss cooperation with Phaethon in person."

"You mean... they're looking for a rope maker?"

"They didn't say it directly, but I guess that's what they said."

Billy gave the choice to Zhe at this point. Anyway, he would be in the city in the next few days. If Zhe agreed, he could go with him.

Zhe nodded, then returned to the store to discuss the matter with Ling. The brother and sister finally decided to meet each other.

The first choice is naturally Zhe. He is very strong and has special abilities, which are enough to deal with most situations.

As for the next few days, just say hello to them and explain that you may not see them for a while.

Then that night, Keleda and Xi'en came to the video store together. They were both a little embarrassed when they met, and it was obvious that they had the same purpose.

"Zhe, I heard you guys are going to the outer ring, is it dangerous?"

After seeing Zhe, both of them showed concerned expressions.

"Don't worry, don't you know how powerful I am?"

After Zhe said this, the two of them blushed for some unknown reason.

"By the way, how did little Koleda get here so quickly?"

Zhe touched her head and said, "Xian En lived on Liufen Street, so it was normal for him to come here quickly." Then Keleda also gave an explanation.

It turned out that he wanted to come and see Zhe because he happened to be free today. After receiving the message on the way, he rushed over as soon as possible.

Chapter 190 Qing Yi's Thanks and Departure for the Outer Ring

In the next few days, several girls including Ambi, Nekomata, Nicole, Ailian, Kelin, Qingyi and others came to Zhe's place several times.

Among them, Nicole came quietly and was unknown to others, while Qingyi came to visit Zhe under the guise of patrolling and paid the promised thanks.

I just need to clean my mouth when I go back...

Today is the day to go to the outer ring with Billy. After getting ready, Zhe will meet him at the old place where they met last time.

Sisters Odile and Odette, as well as Fairy, originally wanted to go along, but Zhe asked them to stay behind to protect Ling.

After all, he wouldn't be around anymore, and it might be dangerous for Ling to drive to the outer ring alone. With the three of them accompanying her, Zhe would feel more at ease.

Fairy, the world's most powerful artificial intelligence, whose specific combat power is currently unknown, but has an S-level body rewarded by the system, can query all combat skills online, and can quickly analyze the opponent's situation during the battle.

There are also two extremely dangerous people who can confront Victoria's housekeeping head-on. They should be able to ensure Ling's safety, right?

After explaining everything, Zhe went to the previous intersection to meet Billy.

Soon after, on the Outer Ring Road—

"Oh? It's so open!"

Looking at the vast wasteland outside the car window and the holes of all sizes, Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

"How's it going? The scenery along the outer ring road is pretty good, right? Driving here is super exciting!"

"Well, having said that, isn't this road too close to the Hollows? There are a lot of Hollows around here."

If the cavity suddenly expands, vehicles driving over it may be in danger.

"Haha... There's nothing we can do about it. The Outer Rim doesn't have much ether technology, so it's difficult to eliminate the voids. Even ether resources can't be mined."

As Billy spoke, he suddenly pointed to a group of machines not far away. Zhe recognized at a glance that they were pumping units used for oil extraction.
