reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"It really was her." Chen Huijie suddenly realized.

"Hehe, Chen Chen..." Bai Ye couldn't help but call out again, and then laughed involuntarily.

That nickname is hilarious! Thanks to the bagpipes for giving him such a laugh.

"Please stop calling me that." Chen Huijie sighed helplessly.

In some ways, Bai Ye is quite similar to Fiona Yang. Chen Huijie has a wealth of experience dealing with someone like Miss Swire, but she really doesn't have any good solutions for someone like Bagpipe.

“Fiona used to be my classmate. We used to study together at the Royal Guard College of Victoria,” Chen Huijie recalled. “At that time, I was planning to leave after graduation.”

“Fiona advised me to stay and pursue a senior lecturer degree, but I wanted to return to Lungmen as soon as possible and prevent a repeat of the bad things that happened back then. Stay in Lungmen, solve the bad things, and stop the bad things.”

"Really?" Bai Ye suddenly realized that there was such a hidden story in the past.

"Well, I didn't actually think about becoming a police officer at first, or rather, I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time. It was Fiona who suggested that I become a police officer."

"Ah, I think I heard her say that. She said she always thought Chen Chen, you looked like the kind of person who would beat up a thug..." Bai Ye recalled.

Fengdi did indeed say quite a bit about Chen Huijie back then.

“She did say that…” Chen Huijie rolled her eyes, feeling a strange sense of shame that her dark past had been exposed.

"And... well, she said she was always worried that you would choose the military intelligence department. Old Chen is so sinister, he would be especially scary if he became a spy."

"She told you all about this? It seems you two have a pretty good relationship." Chen Huijie blinked.

"Well, I just happened to save their lives." Bai Ye shook his head, indicating that he wasn't very familiar with them.

“I see… Anyway, because of her suggestion, I returned to Lungmen after graduation and became a police officer. My original plan was to gradually expand my advantages in Lungmen, utilize the more clues held by the Guard Bureau, and no longer need to rely on my cunning uncle,” Chen Huijie recalled.

"And then...?" Bai Ye's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect you to have such ideas. So you're planning to build your own secret force, aren't you?"

"To be precise, it was to gain the power to find my sister..." Chen Huijie's expression became somewhat complicated as she said this, "It's just a pity that my plan had only just begun when you found my sister... And why do I feel that your relationship with her is closer than mine? We're supposed to be sisters?"

"Pfft—" Bai Ye was drinking water when he heard this and immediately spat it out.

Fortunately, he condensed the air in front of him the instant he sprayed the water, catching all the water that had been splashed out, preventing it from spraying everywhere.

"Cough cough—" Bai Ye couldn't help but cough.

"What's wrong? Why the sudden strong reaction?" Chen Huijie looked at Bai Ye with some suspicion.

"Ahem, it's nothing." Bai Ye's expression was a little awkward.

"Hmm? That's suspicious—" Chen Huijie tilted her head and looked at Bai Ye.

"Because... how should I put it?" Bai Ye finally decided not to hide it. He scratched his head and slowly said, "Well, there's something I'm going to tell you. For some very complicated reasons, Talulah and I have a deeper communication and relationship now."

"Perhaps one day in the future, you'll have to call me... brother-in-law."

Bai Ye did the math, and it seemed to be true.

"Varied--?!"

This time, it was Chen Huijie's turn to spit water. Sure enough, the news Bai Ye mentioned was really explosive. Anyone who knew or was familiar with Bai Ye would probably have this reaction.

"Wait—explain yourself!"

Chen Huijie grabbed Bai Ye, who was trying to get away with his cuteness, and stared at him with wide eyes.

“Ahem…literal meaning.” Bai Ye then explained to Chen Huijie the meaning of the Ursus Emperor and the Imperial Council, as well as Talulah’s own thoughts.

"Simply put, the Talulah Marquisate needs a legitimate heir, and since Talulah didn't want to marry into the family with someone they didn't know, they simply chose me."

"*Longmen swear words*! And then you *f***ed my sister?!" Chen Huijie looked at Bai Ye in disbelief.

"That's about it." Bai Ye nodded.

Chen Huijie stood there stunned for a moment, then pressed her temples with a hint of helplessness:

"I need to catch my breath..."

Indeed, the amount of information today was quite overwhelming, even for Chen Huijie.

Bai Ye then revealed what had happened, which made him feel much better.

He sat down to the side with a grin, and casually glanced at the trinkets on Chen Huijie's table.

Chapter 101 Playing So Fancy

"To be honest, it doesn't seem that surprising..." After a while, Chen Huijie reacted and looked at Bai Ye.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled helplessly:

"After all, you and she have known each other for quite some time, and you two have built such a great business together. I would find it strange if she chose someone else instead of you."

"However... I was actually quite surprised when I heard about this. How should I put it—I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. And, of course, it's you."

She shook her head with a wry smile as she spoke:

"I don't even know how to look at you anymore... Am I really going to call you brother-in-law?"

"Why don't you give it a try?" Bai Ye blinked.

"Emmm..." Chen Huijie originally wanted to refuse, but then, as if possessed, she looked at Bai Ye and shouted:

"Brother-in-law?"

"..."

"..."

Bai Ye was silent.

After Chen Huijie finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent.

"..."

Bai Ye couldn't utter a single word.

This eerie atmosphere lasted for a while, until Chen Huijie finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Hey, say something, say something."

"Don't call me that anymore..." Bai Ye sighed deeply.

"Yes, it was really embarrassing, and... it just felt so strange."

Both of them felt they simply couldn't take it anymore.

The main reason is that the two had a really good relationship in the past, and now their status has suddenly changed, leaving them both feeling a bit lost.

"Forget it, let's just stick to our own ways from now on," Bai Ye finally nodded.

Although he initially wanted to use this identity to prank Chen Huijie, thinking it would be a lot of fun, in the end, he was the one who couldn't take it anymore. He simply couldn't stand the strange feeling he had just experienced.

"However, I didn't expect that it was my sister who took the initiative first?" Chen Huijie still felt a little incredulous.

"Hmm, it must be the influence of Draco's bloodline on his personality..."

Bai Ye nodded.

Talulah is a hybrid of the bloodline of the Great Flame True Dragon and the bloodline of the Victoria Drak royal family. Her personality is also influenced to some extent by the Drak bloodline.

Drak possesses an innate aggressiveness, a point on which historians agree—it's the nature of red dragons. Talulah, while her bloodline has been tempered by the blood of the Great Flame Dragon, is less assertive and instead possesses a gentler nature.

However, Bai Ye was certain that the aggression hadn't truly disappeared; it had only been temporarily hidden and would still manifest in other ways. For example, Talulah would actively plan and even forcefully dominate her first "battle."

Of course, due to a lack of experience and other reasons, Bai Ye regained the initiative after half of the process, but Bai Ye thought she was still quite presumptuous.

"...I have a feeling you're thinking about something bad..." Chen Huijie rolled her eyes again. "By the way, my sister is probably a bit older than you, isn't she?"

As she spoke, a question suddenly occurred to her:

"Wait... It's really strange, I still don't know your age. It's odd, I'm the director of the Guard Bureau, and I've never even considered this question. How old are you exactly?"

Chen Huijie had indeed not thought about this issue.

She even felt she might be older, after all, she wasn't exactly young anymore. Could she be considered an older single woman in Longmen? Of course, for dragons, that wasn't too old, since dragons are a very long-lived species. Like Old Wei, although called "old," he was actually in his prime, at his peak.

Even the Rat King said that Old Wei would live a long life, and that even after all the old guys had gone underground, Old Wei would probably still be alive and well.

Therefore, Chen Huijie is actually considered a young person.

"In the file..."

Bai Ye had just opened his mouth when Chen Huijie interrupted him directly:

"Don't bring up the file matter anymore. I've known about it for a long time; it's fake."

"Uh..." Bai Ye was speechless for a moment.

“After we started working together, I specifically checked your file, and there was basically no match. Moreover, I think my shrewd uncle probably knows this too. You can’t fool us on this point.”

"Yes, that's true. I just want a legal identity, that's all," Bai Ye readily admitted.

Now that things have come to this, given the relationship between Bai Ye and Lao Wei, there's no need to hide it anymore.

……

However, what he didn't expect was—

"Kacha——"

Chen Huijie instinctively pulled out handcuffs and cuffed Bai Ye's wrists. On the other end, she looked around but couldn't see anywhere else to cuff.

So this guy handcuffed the other half of his hand to himself, thus binding himself and Bai Ye together.

Bai Ye had obviously noticed Chen Huijie's initial actions long ago, but he naturally didn't sense any malice and didn't react. However, he didn't expect Old Chen to play this trick in the end.

It seems pretty exciting?

"Uh... what does this mean?"

Although he could easily break free, Bai Ye didn't make any move at first, but looked at Chen Huijie with a puzzled expression.

"But to be honest, even though you've become a policeman, your skills haven't diminished..." Bai Ye couldn't help but tease.

Bai Ye truly admired the skill with which the handcuffs were applied; their hand speed was incredibly fast, and their technique was remarkably adept.

"..." Chen Huijie was also dumbfounded. Only after she finished doing everything did she realize what she had done; it was purely a professional habit. Moreover, she was also someone who hated evil and would not let any illegal behavior go unpunished.

Any illegal act must be brought to justice.

Even the White Night is no exception—or so it is said.

Although Chen Huijie also wanted to laugh, she tried her best to keep a straight face, deliberately slapping the table with a serious expression:

"Hey, stop grinning and tell the truth!"

Well, she's just barely holding on, but since she was the one who made the initial move, she has to keep going no matter how difficult it is.

"Confess to what?" Bai Ye chuckled at the sight and stared into Chen Huijie's eyes, cooperating with the performance.

"..." Chen Huijie couldn't help but laugh when Bai Ye stared at her, but then she immediately straightened her face and glared at Bai Ye, saying:

"Don't laugh!"

You were clearly smiling!

"*Longmen swear words*!" Chen Huijie laughed and cursed, then looked at Bai Ye and said, "Tell me honestly, when and how did you get this identity?"

In fact, Chen Huijie was indeed very curious about Bai Ye's true identity.

Chapter 102 You Continue

(It's Halloween, and tonight I'm playing the poor ghost. I'll be asking for money, so please cooperate, readers—by the way, a lewd ghost isn't out of the question either, let's have some risqué pictures!)

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye wasn't angry that his hands were cuffed. On the contrary, he actually found it quite interesting. He didn't think he had ever done this kind of play before.

Chen Huijie was clearly not serious either; judging from her trying hard to suppress her laughter, she seemed to be just having fun.

So Bai Ye continued this strange play.

He said, feigning seriousness:

"I'm innocent, officer! I don't know anything!"

"..." Chen Huijie didn't expect Bai Ye to be so immersed in the role. She looked at Bai Ye with a half-smile, "So, you're planning to say nothing? Resisting will be punished severely, and confessing will be treated leniently."

"...If I tell Officer Chen, will he treat me leniently?"
