Zhu Yuan lowered her head slightly and did not look at Zhe. The shock on her face had disappeared, replaced by her usual calmness.
"Because I felt I needed to tell you."
"But, but..."
Zhu Yuan didn't know what to say. It was the first time she faced such a difficult decision. In front of her was her lover who trusted her and was willing to tell her everything.
But rope maker is an illegal profession. The Sheriff's Department wants to arrest them, and as a sheriff, he should obey the orders of his superiors.
but……
"Is Zhu Yuan in trouble?"
At this moment, Zhe's voice reached Zhu Yuan's ears again, accompanied by that familiar and warm embrace.
After feeling this, her wavering heart became even more unsteady. Zhe also noticed her distress, so he gently touched the ends of her hair.
He spoke again while comforting her.
"Zhu Yuan, don't be so embarrassed. I'm not saying this to make you feel entangled. In fact, I am planning to join the official team."
"Eh? Ah! That's right!"
At this time, Zhu Yuan finally reacted. [Phaethon] is a legendary rope maker. With such technical skills, the Public Security Bureau will definitely choose to recruit him!
What's more, if you surrender voluntarily, the treatment you apply for will definitely be better.
"So, when the time comes, I'll have to ask our Sheriff Zhu Yuan to put in a few good words for me~"
"Hmph, my nice words are useless. If we find out that Zhe has done anything excessive, he will still be dealt with according to the law!"
Even so, Zhu Yuan was just talking. After all, in her opinion, apart from being a rope maker, Zhe was a kind, law-abiding, affectionate and loyal citizen.
There will definitely be no problem. Besides, compared to this...
"Then I'll report this matter when I get back."
"Well, I'll leave it to you then."
"By the way, Senior Qingyi doesn't know about this yet, right?"
"Uh, I'll tell her myself later."
Chapter 275 Do you like my connections in both the black and white worlds?
Zhe did not tell Zhu Yuan that Qingyi had known about this for a long time. After all, that might make her feel disgusted, so it would be better to discuss it with Qingyi.
I think the latter would not refuse. After all, she knew it in advance but did not tell Zhu Yuan. If the other party knew about it, she would probably be complained about.
Zhu Yuan then said that he would formally report it to the Public Security Bureau, and at the same time he was thinking about saying good things about Zhe and getting better treatment.
Even if he didn't mention the name of Phaethon, it would be enough to attract the attention of the Public Security Bureau.
After parting with Zhu Yuan, Zhe returned to the video store. As soon as he entered, Ling ran over with a nervous look on her face and first looked outside the door.
After confirming that there were no people from the Public Security Bureau, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhe in front of him.
"The Public Security Bureau didn't come to search our house immediately, so it seems like you and Zhu Yuan are having a good conversation. How did you get her to accept having other girls?"
"Actually, I only said that we are Phaethon."
"what?"
After hearing this, Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then she thought about it, if her brother really told Zhu Yuan these two things at the same time.
Even the other party might not be able to accept it for a while, so Zhe planned to wait for a while and then slowly tell Zhu Yuan about this.
Ling was thinking that the power of the people in the Public Security Bureau had now grown to three people (Zhu Yuan, Qing Yi, and Jian).
A few days later, Nicole called the video store and said she would be there soon, but this time she was not there to repay her debt.
It was because Perlman woke up and asked some important information from him. Nicole came here to pick up the brother and sister to go to the outer ring to discuss.
At the same time, she asked the brother and sister to pay attention to the content of the news, only to see that the TV was still hosting the same host as before.
At this moment, he was at the southern edge of the Janus District, introducing the latest election for key urban functions and Bullinger, one of the most powerful candidates for the Chief Sheriff of the Janus District.
At the same time, in the outer ring, Perlman, who had regained consciousness, was pointing excitedly at the image of Bullinger on the TV.
"It's him! One of the people behind the Vision Industrial scandal! Sarah's partner, protector, and backstage agent—Sheriff Bullinger!
I'm just a puppet on the stage. The real villains are them! Please believe me! ! "
Perlman spoke excitedly to the four people from the Rabbit House in front of him, but now it was no longer a matter of belief.
After learning the truth, the four people in the Cunning Rabbit House all looked embarrassed. The cat half-raised its paws in front of it in surprise, while Billy scratched his head with both hands.
Some time later, at the back door of the video store on Liufen Street...
"Huh... finally here! Why are all the drivers in the city driving so slowly? Not even half the speed of the outer ring road!"
Nicole came to Zhe with a complaining tone, and Zhe felt helpless when he heard it.
"Because the speed limit on city roads is indeed only half of that on the outer ring road. Nicole, you... aren't you always speeding?"
"What?! Damn it, I've been so used to going in and out of the Outer Ring Road lately... Luckily I removed my license plate before entering the city, so the ticket can't be sent to my house!"
Nicole was surprised at first, but then she felt a little relieved. Seeing her like this, Zhe Ke was speechless.
"...This is much more serious than speeding! Don't attract the traffic police to our house!"
After all, he was just about to invest in the official background, and he didn't want to have a criminal record now.
After hearing what Zhe said, Nicole waved her hand and looked relaxed.
"Don't worry! I've checked many times. There's no one tailing me, and I'm not being followed. It's just me and my car!"
But after saying this, Nicole's expression became serious, and then she started talking about business in a serious tone.
"You all heard what Perlman said on the phone. There's more to the Envision Industrial scandal than meets the eye. Whether this is true or not will determine what we do next.
I came here to take you to the outer ring to discuss countermeasures together!"
It was at this time that Fairy came out again after a long absence and analyzed the situation.
"Master, if what suspect Perlman says is true, then he may possess information about an unknown species within the old construction site monument. This information could help you achieve your long-term goals."
"... Makes sense. Hmm... Rabbit House, Hakuchi Heavy Industries, Victoria Housekeeping, and the Sons of Calydon... Everything that's been going on lately started with this scandal..."
As a result, they made many new friends.
(Hmph, do you like my connections, Phaethon, who spans both the legal and legal worlds?)
"Well, it's time to wrap this up... Okay, let's go to the Outer Ring! But Nicole and I are the only ones going. Ling, please help me coordinate the HDD system for remote support at home!"
Ling had no objection to Zhe's suggestion. In addition, the sisters Odile and Odette were also left in the store.
After all, what we are going to do now is quite risky, and Ling has no combat ability. Even if I can show up to protect her, I still need to leave someone behind to protect HDD.
With the two sisters around, there was no need to worry about the video store, and Nicole nodded happily.
"Alright! A master's style is to finish what he starts well! I'll contact someone to get out of the city right away. Don't forget to bring your little one along!"
Nicole was naturally referring to Ies, but when she said this she seemed to remember something.
"Oh, by the way, can I use your car for the trip? If my car gets accidentally inspected, my driver's license application will be ruined..."
So you're still driving without a license?!
Zhe didn’t know what to say. Speeding, no license, no certificate, he was truly an outlaw!
However, he still agreed to Nicole's request and brought Fairy, a private car that seemed ordinary at the time.
In fact, it has become a super sports car with super-intelligent self-driving and an as-yet-unknown speed limit.
"Oh, I can't drive, it's so boring! And the internet speed is so bad. Oh, right! Zhe, can you lend me your car after we leave the city? Don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any accidents."
Nicole said this with shining eyes as she looked at Zhe who was sitting in the driver's seat next to her. The latter was speechless when he heard it.
"Aren't you driving without a license?"
"You can't doubt my skills!"
"Forget it, but Nicole, if you're bored, I have a way to play that won't bore you."
"what?"
Nicole was a little confused at first, but after seeing Zhe's next action, she suddenly reacted and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"You, you, you, I, I don't want to do this. What will happen if this is discovered?"
Chapter 276 Star Stream Thunder Strike
Although she said so, Nicole finally agreed to Zhe's proposal. After all, the latter said that if the debt was repaid at this time, it would be double.
"Hey! Wait, wait a minute... There seems to be a sheriff up ahead!"
Nicole stood up hurriedly as she spoke. One could only say that she was worthy of being her. Even without looking directly at her, she could still notice the sheriff who was checking in front of her.
At the same time as they set out for the outer ring, outside the dead end, the first crime scene of the Vision Industrial scandal...
"Tsk! This crappy speech—!"
Bullinger, who was practicing his speech, was scratching his hair in frustration. At this moment, the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the ground was heard.
A tall, black and red figure slowly approached, ignoring Bringer's annoyed gaze.
"Hahahaha, I remember you didn't write the speech yourself? Is it so difficult to recite it after your own experience?"
"Sarah…what are you doing here?"
Bringer's tone was not very friendly, but Sarah didn't care about it (she was the villain who wanted to shoot the people and then escape in the previous scene in Nekomata).
"You don't look happy. Shouldn't being appointed Chief Constable overseeing thousands of people be a happy occasion?"
"...put away your sarcasm."
"I am serious."
Although Sarah said this, Bullinger didn't want to continue dwelling on this topic.
"Vision Industries is a broken glove, the contents of the monument have been taken over by HAND, and the previous attack failed... not to mention the idiots who failed to seize power in the Outer Ring and those hopeless violent gangs!
Without the demon sample, the established plan cannot proceed. Do you want me to compete with that Sixth Section's Void Hunter for the right to speak? Or do you want me to truly be an innocent Chief Justice?"
Bullinger revealed a lot of important information, but Sarah still looked relaxed, as if she didn't care about the many failures.
"A plan is a step to achieve a goal, not the goal itself. Only those who adjust or make new plans according to circumstances are qualified believers."
"Just so you know, I'm on the same level as you. I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
"Don't get excited. I'm here to help you make a new plan. Look at this..."
Sarah handed over the document in her hand. Bullinger looked over it suspiciously. After a moment...
"What? The Hoshimi family has such a secret?! How come I've never heard of it? Is this information reliable?"
"This is information that [White Noise] has painstakingly obtained, and it's quite credible."
It was not difficult to tell from the woman's words that this person named [White Noise] should be the person in charge of intelligence gathering in the organization, and Bringer snorted coldly when he heard it.
"That loser who failed to steal from Phaethon in the Chiyabang case? He's even worse than Thousand Faces!"
“The one who took action this time was the real me, not an arrogant subordinate, and I also have a plan to verify the authenticity of the intelligence.
And this plan requires the help of you, the Chief Constable who has returned an innocent name."
"…I'll get back to you once I finish this damn speech."
After the two of them had discussed it, Bullinger put away the documents and stood up to leave. Looking at his gradually receding back, Sarah suddenly asked a question loudly.
"…That leader, the survivor hero who brought you to New Eridu when you were little, what happened to him?"
"...He contracted the Corruption Symptoms and was abandoned in the wilderness by the survivors he had protected along the way the night before entering the city."
……
Some time later, somewhere in the Outer Ring...
"Tell me the truth. Did you lie? If you dare to deceive me, I will punish you most severely in the name of the Star Knight!"
"Me! Everything I say is true! Intelligent robot, you must believe me!"
Pearlman begged for mercy loudly to Billy who was interrogating him, but the latter laughed out loud after hearing what he said.
