Dragon Gate Swordsman

If it were someone else, they would probably just think that this was the result of a team member's carelessness, but Han Jie was, after all, a subordinate who could gain Lin Yuxia's trust, and he grew up in an environment of intrigue and deception, so he quickly made the worst guess.

Maybe... someone wants to harm the Naumanns, or the entire expedition team.

With this idea in mind, Han Jie continued to observe and found something wrong: there seemed to be some kind of secret confrontation between William University and even the Volcanic Geology Research Academic Association where Professor Neumann had been immersed for many years.

"The Leitanians...are also doing this."

"Knowledge has never been a proxy for morality. Some people will not hesitate to resort to dirty tricks just to get their name on a patented research."

"So what are you going to do while you wait for Han Jie's news?"

Lin Yuxia gave an unfathomable smile, but before she could say anything, there was a flurry of footsteps outside the door, as well as the waiter's inquiries.

"Let them all come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open forcefully!

What Shi Huaiya never expected was that the person with an angry look on his face was actually Professor Katia Naumann!

He is not alone... Outside the door, Adele, who looked exhausted, was comforting her mother softly, while Han Jie stood aside respectfully, with his head down and silent.

"Ms. Lin! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Please relax, Mr. Naumann, and take a rest here for a while. I have a good reason to make this arrangement."

Lin Yuxia's Leitanian is quite good, and Shi Huaiya, a genius student, can also understand it, but at this moment she is completely stunned by her best friend's tricks.

You directly tied up Adele's family to Longmen! ?

Chapter 154: Parting Ways

Perhaps influenced by Lan Yu, one of Texas's daily hobbies is to wander around Ning'an Road, which has the "Dessert Street", looking for desserts that suit his taste.

Like apple pie, cake, mochi, honey candy, peach cake, etc., it can be said that Texas accepts almost everything except chocolate.

But unlike Penguin Logistics' Lei Mule who accepts everything, she prefers to pick the most suitable ones from a large number of desserts and then take them home to savor them slowly... After all, the Lupo people are not Sakota, and they cannot maintain a slim figure while consuming excessive nutrition.

In fact, because she heard Chongxiao say "Texas, have you gained weight recently" one time when she was combing her tail, she didn't eat any dessert for the next two weeks.

Mrs. Tao's Dessert Shop at 78 Ning'an Road is one of the most frequently visited shops in Texas because it has an extremely rich variety of desserts. Even if you only buy a small bag in the end, it is still fun to shop there.

But today was an exception, because just as Texas arrived at the store door, she saw someone leaning against the wall, waving and smiling at her.

"…What's going on?"

"Hey! What's the meaning of your impatient expression?"

Lappland made a pretentious accusation, but this trick had been useless eight hundred years ago.

By the way, when Texas took the initiative to take responsibility for the Nate Collis case and resigned, a big part of the reason was that he didn't want to care about Lapland anymore... Although this guy can be considered a spy of the Guard Bureau, he is more like an undercover agent who makes trouble all day long.

"If you want to challenge me again, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you!"

"Heh... just because you beat me last time?"

"No, I didn't beat you, I beat you in seconds."

Texas said this expressionlessly, almost making Lapland explode with anger.

Speaking of which, the main reason why that duel became Lappland's "black history" was not because of her, but because of Chongxiao... Who made this guy casually throw out two Doran's Blades and lie to Lappland that they were artifacts?

As a result, when the excited girl went directly to Texas for a duel, a dimensional slash cut off the two Doran's Blades, and then dissipated into scattered light points.

When the angry Lappland went to Chongxiao again to ask for an explanation, that guy threw out two identical swords and said that the magic of this artifact was that it was available for free in unlimited quantities.

"You can only be so complacent now, Texas. I will come back when I get the right weapons!"

"...Does this mean you are leaving Longmen?"

Texas, who had been expressionless, suddenly had an encouraging and relieved smile on his face, "Then whatever you want to do, I wish you all the best!"

Well, now Lappland is really furious... Texas was not like that at first, but he just hangs out with someone all day long, and he has been influenced by the bad people around him. Just a few words from him can make Lappland angry to death.

But who can blame the White Wolf Girl for not being as skilled as others, and not being able to bring herself to ask Chongxiao to learn swordsmanship?

"Why don't you ask me where I'm going?"

Not interested in.

Texas wanted to answer like this, but she noticed a hint of resentment in Lappland's tone and helplessness in his eyes.

Speaking of which, from the initial fight at the bottom of Longmen that ended in a draw to now, he and Lapland have gone from being enemies to being confirmed bad friends. If the other party really disappears from his life completely, it seems that something is missing.

Thinking of this, Texas' heart couldn't help but soften.

"So...you want to..."

"Syracuse."

It was just a simple name, but it made Texas' pupils shrink, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

The names Texas and Laplande are both taboo in Syracuse... the former represents arrogance and stupidity, while the latter is regarded as a rebel by the Saluzzo family, who once sent people to eliminate her.

Over the years, Texas had put the past behind her and faced her present life seriously, and she thought Lapland could do the same.

"……reason?"

After a brief hesitation, she asked the question.

"We were both trapped in the same quagmire, tearing and biting each other, not to climb out, but to make some symbolic struggles before the final death... But you were about to escape, relying on the power that guy gave you, leaving me far behind in the quagmire."

"Wait, Lappland, if you're serious, then I can..."

"Why 'yes'?"

The white wolf girl raised her eyebrows. "What is this? Pity for me? Hypocritical fairness? Or out of pitiful self-esteem? No, Texas, I don't need those... I know how to become stronger, and I also know where to go to do it. If I stay in Longmen, I will only be left further and further behind by you."

Lapland has her own unique pride.

The gap in strength between her and Texas is not just in weapons. Now, even without using the Yama Blade and Dimension Slash, she can easily defeat herself by relying on the swordsmanship taught by Chongxiao.

Lapland saw this very clearly...but she would never lower herself to ask Chongxiao for guidance.

If you want to become stronger, you can't stay in Longmen.

"Syracuse will not allow your return."

"I don't need their permission, on the contrary, I just want them to come to me."

Laplande grinned, revealing a fierce smile of strong confidence. "This way, I can catch up with you, Texas."

"…Why…do you have to go to this extent?"

"Ha! That's what I just said. You're about to escape, and I can't just stay stuck in the mud and wait to die."

But if you choose to return to Syracuse, isn't that equivalent to struggling into the deepest part of the quagmire?

Texas looked directly at Laplander, unsure whether he should say this out loud.

"In short, you can assume that I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I'm afraid our next meeting will have to wait until a long time later."

Lappland waved his hand proudly, turned around and walked away, "Don't try to keep me, because I will never agree."

These words left Texas speechless. She couldn't utter another word until Lappland disappeared from her sight.

……

Chongxiao has always been curious about where Chen Huijie's vigorous energy comes from.

After sixteen hours of patrol duty, he took notes for Penguin Logistics, arranged for police officers and ambulances to send the injured Syracuse gang members to the controlled hospital, and used his free time to collect relevant information on the Internet to determine the areas where motorcyclists often appear late at night.

It would be fine if it happened only once in a while, but the problem is that Chen Huijie has been living like this for the past year or so, and has never been like Chongxiao who just muddles through and always slacks off.

In short, looking at Xiao Longnu who was concentrating on browsing the forum posts online, Chongxiao even began to hesitate whether to tell her that the motorcycle gang was Lao Wei’s wife, Madam Wen Yue... Not only Chongxiao knew this, but Xingxiong also knew it.

"You really don't need some sleep?"

"Not for now, let's wait until I determine the general area, so that we can find an opportunity to ambush him later."

Many people in the Royal Guards Bureau thought that with Chen Huijie's status, he should be transferred to a civilian position in the administrative department soon, but the facts shocked them: Chen Huijie, who had only been in the job for half a year, took the initiative to ask Xie Ming to transfer to the special inspection team.

There would definitely be no problem with this matter. Firstly, her ability and attitude were there. Secondly, Governor Wei's niece took the initiative to make the request. Refusing would only make things difficult for herself.

So Chen Huijie left the small storage room and moved to the room opposite Chongxiao's office... Because Xingxiong, Texas and Ajiu were too embarrassed to express their opinions, it had been used to store office supplies. Unexpectedly, Xiaolongnu "came from behind and got there first" and took it over.

What is even more surprising is that even though he has been transferred to the special inspection team, Chen Huijie still has no intention of "going out".

In other words, she still accepts Chongxiao as her partner and mentor, and always calls him first when she goes out on patrol.

As for this matter... Xingxiong didn't care at all. Texas seemed not to care, but he sneaked into Chongxiao's office more often to ask him to help stroke his fur. And Jiu obviously wanted to compete with Xiaolongnu.

"Well... a guy who races fast doesn't come out every day..."

"There is only a difference in the severity of his violations, not whether they occurred or not."

Well, if you really caught Madam Wen Yue, I’m curious about how you would react.

Chongxiao yawned, "Then I'll leave first."

"OK, all right."

After leaving Chen Huijie's office, he did not plan to go home to sleep, but wanted to take a nap in his office and fetch two buckets of water.

Anyway, I have to go to Xinghui Film Company in the afternoon to discuss the filming of "Dragon Gate Undercover" with Tang Niu, so I can just get a ride from the headquarters.

But when he came back from fetching water and just sat down, Chongxiao realized that he had forgotten his cell phone at Xiaolongnu's place, so he stood up and prepared to get it back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the room, I saw Chen Huijie lying on the table, already asleep.

Huh? What kind of sleeping efficiency is this?

Chongxiao was somewhat thankful that he didn't open the door loudly and didn't speak in a hurry, otherwise he would have woken her up.

But...if you sleep like this, you will feel uncomfortable when you wake up.

Thinking of this, Chongxiao stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently shook Chen Huijie's shoulder.

no response.

"...Little Dragon Girl?"

Still no response.

Why are you sleeping so deeply?

Chongxiao frowned and carefully sensed Chen Huijie's breath... As expected, she had entered a deep sleep.

Could this be the reason why you are so energetic?

People who can quickly enter a deep sleep state often have a much higher rest efficiency than others, but if special methods and drugs are not considered, there are not many people with this talent.

Looking at Chen Huijie with her head resting on her arms and a calm expression, Chongxiao couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: only at this time does she look more like an ordinary girl.

He shook his shoulders again, and seeing that Chen Huijie was still not awake, he squatted down, laid down the backrest of the chair, and then gently helped Xiaolongnu up and laid her on it... This was better than sleeping on the table.

After covering her with another piece of clothing, Chongxiao carefully picked up his cell phone and went out.

"……What are you doing?"

hiss! ! !

The sudden voice almost frightened Chongxiao to death. He turned around and found that it was Kanelian standing in the corridor with a look of suspicion on his face.

In fact, according to the tradition of the Sargon Sand Tribe, Kanelian should have resigned and left the year before last to continue traveling to other countries. However, she could not resist someone's persistence and nagging, and even used such shameless tricks as "If you abandon Longmen, I will run away and tell people you are my girlfriend", so she had no choice but to give up.

Anyway, I have been to all the major countries in this land. If the tribe has nothing to do and I don't need to go back, then it is not impossible to settle in Longmen.

By the way, the reason why Kanelian, who is so decisive and straightforward, was trapped by Zhongxiao's bad tricks is precisely because she is the only woman in the special inspection team who is "clean and innocent". If something gets out, it will be too easy for people to believe it... This can be regarded as bad money driving out good money in a sense...

"You nearly scared me to death!"

"Oh... then I might be the best killer in this land."

Kanelian told a dull joke and then handed the document in his hand to Chongxiao.

"what is this?"

"Red asked me to give it to you. It's news related to Ursus."

It’s related to Ursus… Then what does Ursus have to do with me?

After Kanelian left, Chongxiao returned to his office and opened the document given by Red.

To be precise, this should be a piece of intelligence... As an infected person, Red is always very conscious. After joining the special inspection team, he often applies for overseas operations, such as arresting wanted criminals and investigating foreign-related cases. After coming back, he just shows up and runs to his residence in the infected area.
