"What's wrong? What's going on with you guys?"
A girl with yellow hair and yellow eyes squeezed into the crowd with great curiosity. She was wearing a Rhine Life uniform, and the title on her nameplate read "Director of the Ecology Department."
"Security, let go of his things first, and then we can talk it over."
"Director Muirseth! They... took photos without permission."
The security guard was just arrogant, but when he saw the executives of Rhine Life, he immediately started to be humble.
After listening to the security guard's report, Muirseth looked up and down at Ji Luo and Chen. His elf-like pointed ears trembled and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, you two. Our people were too nervous. I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble."
"Haha~ I have seen that the people of Rhine Life are indeed worthy of such a large company."
Ji Luo's words sounded a bit sarcastic, but Muerseth didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and invited Ji Luo and Chen to visit the headquarters of Rhine Life.
"Sorry, we're not interested."
Ji Luo refused without thinking, and then he took Chen to a small restaurant a few hundred meters away.
"Ji Luo, that Muerseth invited us, why don't we go into the headquarters building of Rhine Life and investigate quietly."
"Heh~ Don't look at that Muir Seth, who looks lively and innocent. In fact, what she said just now was just a test. If we follow her in, we will probably be locked up directly."
Ji Luo was extremely wary of the people of Rhine Life. Over the years, Rhine Life had grown rapidly from a small company to its current size. None of the directors of the ten departments were easy to deal with.
"Now, let's wait and see if there is a chance later."
"it is good."
Chen opened the menu next to her and pretended to be struggling with lunch. At this moment, she felt that someone was watching them not far away.
"Jilo, that Muir Seth seems to be following us."
"Don't worry, it's a fake, just a water clone."
While Ji Luo was talking, his eyes never left the menu, and it seemed as if he was just having a simple chat.
After a while, the restaurant waiter came over and placed their orders on the table.
Although it was a little early for lunch, Ji Luo and Chen had no shortage of time. They chatted and ate, dragging out the time.
After dinner, they went to a nearby shopping mall and bought a set of couple's cotton-padded clothes.
"Ji Luo, the surveillance is gone."
"Well, that Muir Seth has cancelled his water clone."
Ji Luo's eyes could clearly see the state of life and soul of spiritual beings. No matter how careful Muirseth's water clone was, it was impossible to hide.
"Let's go, let's walk around the area and wait until dark to see what happens."
"Good~"
Chen answered happily, and then she took Ji Luo and walked around the nearby shops.
This time, the two did not buy too many things. Instead, Ji Luo couldn't persuade Chen and stayed in a pet shop for a long time. Chen meowed at the kittens but was completely unwelcome.
After coming out of the pet shop, Chen still looked a little unwilling. Ji Luo leaned over and told a joke in her ear, which made the girl's cheeks blush and she chased Ji Luo and beat him up.
It gets dark early in winter. When Ji Luo and Chen returned to the Rhine Life headquarters, the two circular buildings, one large and one small, were already brightly lit.
"Ji Luo, what should we do next?"
"Wait."
Ji Luo's method was simple, but very effective. They hid in a corner, but unfortunately they clearly saw the vehicles driving out of Rhine Life.
"..."
Ji Luo was not interested in these car owners of unknown origin. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and sensed the situation around him.
Finally, after waiting for more than an hour, Ji Luo suddenly opened his eyes, summoned a ray of holy flame, and with a flick of his finger, it pierced the tire of the turning car like a crossbow arrow.
squeak~~~!
A teeth-grinding brake sound was heard, and the girl named Muir Seth stopped the car. Looking at her broken front tire, she couldn't help but frowned.
"Huh? What's going on? A sneak attack?"
"No, it should be called an invitation~"
Ji Luo walked over with a swagger. Muirseth was suddenly startled and quickly overturned the bucket on the car, controlling the water flow to form blades around his body.
Unfortunately, the power displayed by Muerseth was meaningless in front of Ji Luo. When the swirling water flow attacked Ji Luo, it was evaporated into water vapor by the high temperature of the holy flame from a long distance away, and had no killing power at all.
"Muerseth, you don't want to be beheaded, do you? Stop playing tricks and come with us."
Ji Luo raised his hand, condensed the holy flame into a small ring, and put it on Muerseth like a bracelet.
"I suggest you not to get too excited, and the water clone should also remain silent. Otherwise, if these holy flames explode, there will be no grass within a hundred meters.
"Okay~ I understand~ I understand."
Muirseth was very calm about the situation. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Ji Luo very readily.
"Thank you for your cooperation~"
Ji Luo did not make things difficult for Mulseth. He made a gesture to Chen, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, watched over the director of the ecology department and left the sphere of influence of Rhine Life.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, so there are few people on the road. The three of them walked for a distance before they finally got a taxi.
Muirseth was very honest along the way. He sat quietly between Ji Luo and the other man, and was taken back to the rental house without any resistance.
As a scientific researcher, Muirseth did not have such a deep sense of patriotism, nor did he have a sense of confidentiality that would rather die than yield.
She almost had the words 'want to live' written on her face. She looked like a weak, helpless little thing who was just trying to survive.
Inside the rental house, Lin Guang and the other two had not returned yet. Outside, there were sporadic sounds of firecrackers, which could easily be mistaken for the sound of guns being fired.
The Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year in Yan Country and Longmen, but right now in Colombia, it is just a little bit of a lively occasion.
Ji Luo carried the fruits he had just bought into the kitchen. The sound of running water made the silence in the room even more eerie.
"..."
Muirseth sat on the sofa stiffly and forced a smile at Chen. The Holy Flame Ring put on by Ji Luo fit her arm very tightly and could not be taken off at all.
In this situation, Muirseth knew that she had no chance of getting away, so she was very cooperative and well-behaved, and even wanted to quickly demonstrate her value.
However, at this time, Chen sat beside her without saying a word, looking out the window with a dazed look on his face.
It seems that... I miss home.
Muirseth felt a little scalp tingling and very uneasy.
Chapter 160: Muir Seth Endures Humiliation
It's not that Muerseth has never been without danger. The enemies of Rhine Life have targeted her many times, but she has relied on her ability to control water and her wisdom to escape danger every time.
Her usual lively, humorous and quirky appearance is her character and also her protective color, which easily makes people let down their guard against her.
However, at this moment, facing Chen's gloomy and dazed expression, Muirseth felt that his life was not guaranteed and the word danger was hanging over his head.
"Don't worry, we don't mean to kill you, just have an apple."
Ji Luo came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate. He picked out the biggest apple and handed it to Muirseth. The girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the apple with a shy and cute smile.
"Thank you~"
"Well, you look better when you smile. Don't look so gloomy~"
Ji Luo sat on the sofa, picked up a fruit knife and started to peel an apple. Muerseth sat next to him and watched, biting the apple bit by bit to hide his embarrassment.
To be honest, as a kidnapped hostage, Muirseth was very uneasy. The only reason she didn't cry was because she was holding on with her will.
As for Ji Luo, he deliberately said nothing and continued to put psychological pressure on Muirseth.
His kind attitude actually made people feel uneasy, and they always felt that he had some big plans.
Only Chen, who was in a daze at the side, never showed his attitude. He was just an obedient accomplice.
"Chen, I've peeled the apple. Here you go."
"Thank you."
Although Chen was interrupted by Ji Luo, she did not show any emotion. While chewing an apple, she opened the drawer and took out paper and pen.
Then, Chen took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and skillfully marked the time at the beginning of the record.
——Wow, he’s even taking notes. He’s indeed a professional criminal investigator.
"..."
Muirseth looked at Chen's professional and efficient process and suddenly realized something.
She raised her head and looked at the horns on Chen's head, then turned her head and looked at Chen's tail. Her expression couldn't be restrained anymore.
"Wait! You...you are Chen Huijie?! The niece of Wei Yanwu, the Lord of Longmen?!"
"Yes."
Chen didn't try to be mysterious and nodded calmly.
When she was away from Longmen before, she felt a sense of relief as if she had escaped from a cage. But after more than three months away, she couldn't help but miss her hometown.
Especially since tonight is New Year's Eve, the firecrackers and fireworks outside not only failed to make Chen feel the festive atmosphere, but made her miss home even more.
"Why are you here?"
Although Muirseth had not specifically learned about Chen, he had information on important figures of most forces within the Rhine Group.
It was because Muirseth had read Chen's information that she found it even more difficult to understand why Chen would run from Longmen to Columbia, thousands of kilometers away, during the Spring Festival, when families gather together.
"Why else? It's because you, Rhine Life, want to make big news."
Ji Luo answered Muirseth's question for Chen. The girl, who had become a bird in a cage, turned her head and her eyes changed when she looked at Ji Luo.
"May I ask you are?"
"My name is Ji Luo."
"what?"
Muerseth looked at Ji Luo's serious expression and thought he would say a name that would scare her, but this is the result?
"Don't you remember? I am that Ji Luo."
"..."
Muirseth felt that the situation was a little subtle. The other party looked as if she should remember him, but she really had no impression of the name.
Oh no, she doesn’t know him, will he be angry? She doesn’t want to be killed!
Ji Luo didn't have so many thoughts. He just felt that Rhine Life was too arrogant and had made so many enemies but was not paying attention.
"Ha... You can't remember my name, but you should remember the name Surtel."
"Sartre? I...know."
How could Muirseth forget the only person in Terra who was poisoned by the Scourge Beast and still survived?
At that time, they issued a sky-high reward, sent out more than a dozen action teams, lost hundreds of people, and returned empty-handed.
Everyone in the company will remember this kind of failure.
"So...you're that angel?!"
"Yes, I am the Angel of Justice."
When Ji Luo was being hunted, he revealed his true identity more than once. He was sure that Rhine Life had a lot of video footage of him, and it might even have been marked as research material that must be captured.
"Muerseth, thanks to you Rhine Life, we managed to escape with little danger. We were almost caught and used as experimental material several times."
"..."
Muirseth already understood everything. She knew about Rhine Life's pursuit of Ji Luo and Surtel.
To put it bluntly, it would be natural for Ji Luo to not only kidnap her, but also rush into the Rhine Life headquarters and kill everyone there.
"Ji... Ji Luo. I'm the director of the Ecology Department, not in charge of field work."
Muirseth showed a pitiful expression, trying to win Ji Luo's sympathy. But Chen on the other side was unhappy and stabbed the notebook twice with the tip of his pen.
