Dragon Gate Swordsman

Chongxiao had no good solution for this. Even if the other people in the special inspection team didn't care, it would be useless if Red couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He could only take it slow.

The first piece of intelligence was a notice issued by the Chernobyl City Government to all mobile towns and villages... This time he went out to investigate a smuggling gang, and it seemed to be related to the Ursus caravan, so he went to the north, and it was not surprising that he could get this thing.

Chongxiao had told Red to be careful. After all, Chernobyl had issued a wanted order for the two of them, and it was unclear if anyone would take it seriously.

The general content of the announcement is to warn the people of the Ursus Empire that a group of terrorists called the Integration Movement have been active in the frozen snowfields of the empire recently, spreading rumors everywhere to confuse people into rebelling against the order of the empire. Therefore, once suspected members of their organization are found, they must be reported to the authorities immediately. If the situation is true, the reporter will receive a reward.

Chongxiao didn’t quite understand why Reid attached so much importance to this thing... His mission shouldn’t be completed so quickly, so he must have asked someone to send it back on purpose.

In addition to the announcement, the intelligence also contained two wanted posters. One of the posters had a portrait of a white-haired boy with a crazy expression, which looked like a selfie. The name marked below was Mephisto.

The second one made Chongxiao frown in surprise.

The reason was not that this person was considered the leader of the Reunion Movement, nor was it the name Tallulah Atrias, but the standard profile picture that looked like an ID photo, which actually gave him a familiar feeling.

It's strange, it seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

After looking left and right, Chongxiao found that he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he put the wanted order aside and picked up the last copying notebook.

These papers were torn from the notebook. Judging from the handwriting on them, they were written by Red. The content was the information he learned about the Integration Movement...probably obtained from the Ursus civilians in remote villages and towns.

The Integration Movement is not a real terrorist group, but a group of freedom fighters who call on the infected to resist the "tyranny" of Ursus. They were previously active in the northern part of the empire, mainly attacking mines to deal with patrols and rescue infected slave workers. Now they are showing signs of expanding to other areas of Ursus.

Below this information, Red wrote a few lines of small words, which roughly meant that the Reunion Movement's reach was longer than imagined, otherwise Chernobyl, located in the southeast of Ursus, would not take it so seriously.

"...You are really sensitive about these things, Reid."

Chongxiao shook his head secretly.

He did not think that this integration movement had anything to do with Longmen... If it was in the past, it would be fine, but now, under his guidance, the Shihuaiya Group has discovered the "business opportunities" of the infected people and allowed them to live a life with enough food. It is impossible for them to respond to slogans such as uprising and revolution.

Even though the way Longmen treats the infected now is still exploitation in essence, if both parties are willing and each gets what they need, then this exploitation is mutually beneficial.

Not to mention that this integration movement is active in the northern part of Ursus. Even if it goes south to contact Longmen, it is estimated that the Longmen infected people who can live a stable life will not be so easily instigated.

The problem is that Red cares about this matter, which shows that he still has the idea of ​​discriminating...that's it, most people on this earth are like this anyway.

Chongxiao picked up Tallulah's wanted poster again, and prepared to think carefully about whether he had seen this woman somewhere before.

I can't remember it anyway...

"Tsk! Why am I wasting my energy on this?"

He curled his lips, threw the wanted poster on the table, raised his head and stretched his neck.

However, at this moment, Chongxiao's movements suddenly froze and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something that shocked him greatly.

Wait! Could it be that...

He grabbed the wanted poster and stood up, his eyes fixed on the office door... He finally understood where the inexplicable familiarity with this wanted woman came from.

Judging from her face shape and facial features alone, Tallulah is actually 60% similar to Chen Huijie!

Chapter 155: Silver tongue

Chongxiao suddenly remembered one thing. That was when he met Chen Changwen, the other party mentioned that the princess he married did have an older daughter... This meant that Chen Huijie did have a half-sister.

But Chen Changwen was not clear about the child's condition. He only knew that the child was born to his wife and her deceased ex-husband, and was under the close care of Wei Yanwu.

Until his wife passed away, he himself suffered from mental disorders due to the huge blow and never asked about his "eldest daughter".

Chongxiao didn't take this matter to heart at first... After all, neither Chen Huijie nor Wei Yanwu had ever mentioned it, and he thought that the child was frail and sickly and was no longer alive.

Looking back now, it seems that the name Chen Changwen said was Tallulah!

But why doesn't she look like a dragon at all?

The dragon bloodlines of Dayan are all the result of the branching out of the line of the True Dragon Emperor. Whenever they combine with other races, the offspring born will often be dragons, unless... unless the other party also has "higher" bloodline with similar conditions.

The people who meet this condition and correspond to Tallulah's physical characteristics are the Drakes, who are basically no longer seen today and were the royal family who once ruled Victoria together with Aslan.

So Xiaolongnu's sister actually has the royal blood of both Dayan and Victoria?

You must be kidding. How could such a beautiful girl become a terrorist?

Chongxiao sat behind his desk, unable to come back to his senses for a long time... Xiaolongnu, Xiaolongnu, could it be that your sister is the obsession in the deepest part of your heart?

He was not sure whether he should go to Wei Yanwu to ask for clarification, but he was sure that Old Wei would never tell the whole truth.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xiao Longnu to be so secretive about this...

Should I tell her about this?

Chongxiao never expected that he would actually get into a dilemma.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

"Shi Huaiya? What's wrong?"

"Something happened...well, actually, something big happened. I don't think Xiaoxia can handle it. You'd better come over and take a look."

"Is there anything that Miss Lin Yuxia can't handle?"

Chongxiao joked and was about to say that he would go there right away, but suddenly he remembered... Wasn't Lin Yuxia's father, the Rat King, the guard who followed the princess to Longmen?

I can go ask him about Tallulah.

……

The Naumann family was temporarily placed in Lin's Teahouse. Although they had no worries about food and clothing, were safe, and could go out freely, the couple still felt like they were under house arrest.

The main reason, besides the fact that they always felt someone was watching them, was because of their good daughter Adele who always spoke well of Lin Yuxia in front of them.

Katia and Magna didn't quite understand what kind of magic potion Miss Lin had put into Adele that made her accept something like kidnapping.

In fact, they didn't know that their daughter had already had a near-death experience as a hostage in the Ned Collis case... In order to prevent her parents from being frightened and even not letting her come to Longmen again, Adele begged Faber not to reveal the matter, so the couple has been kept in the dark until now.

A girl who has experienced this kind of thing will naturally become a little frightened, fearing that her parents will encounter the same danger.

So even though she didn't say it, Adele was actually feeling somewhat relieved...

Katia is a scholar with a gentle and generous personality. In Dayan's words, he is a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade. Magna is more open-minded and straightforward, but in essence she is still a weak woman who is not as good as men. Therefore, neither of them put up a strong resistance to this half-kidnapping, half-invitation behavior.

The harsh questioning when he first saw Lin Yuxia was almost Katia's most resolute statement.

But this doesn't make much sense. Being in a foreign land of Longmen with no relatives, the family has no way of resisting the all-powerful power of the gangster's daughter, not to mention that the daughter seems to be a "traitor".

"That's too much, Dad..."

"Excessive? Then is what you, Sister Lin, did excessive?"

"This... is also for the safety of Dad and Mom..."

Looking at her daughter who was mumbling softly, Katia was almost laughing out of anger.

People say that when daughters grow up and get married, their elbows will turn outward. Little Adele hasn't reached that stage yet, so how come she ended up marrying a Zalak woman?

The residence that Lin Yuxia arranged for the Naumann family was the VIP lounge on the upper floors of the teahouse. The level of luxury was comparable to the top floor suites of star-rated hotels, but the decoration style was in the traditional style of Dayan... The native Leitanians could not fully adapt to this place, but they had to admit that they were not treated unfairly in terms of living conditions.

Compared to her sulking husband, Magna seems to be more willing to make the best of things. She has even been in a good mood to go shopping these days.

"Magna... aren't you going to say anything?"

"Ok?"

"Look at our sweet daughter!"

Katia deliberately emphasized the syllables on the adjectives. "She still doesn't seem to admit that we were kidnapped and brought to this city."

"That doesn't matter. I think if we really want to go back, Miss Lin won't stop us."

“…I don’t think so.”

The couple didn't quarrel, but Katia always felt that her personal rights were violated, while Magna didn't have such a strong self-esteem.

By the way, Faber, who had moved to Longmen to settle down, also came yesterday... The old man neither spoke well of Lin Yuxia nor supported Katia's decision to return to Leitania, but he refused to say why.

This made Katia even more anxious... He was originally a relatively pure scholar, and he rejected and even hated the idea of ​​saying one thing to one person and another thing to another.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Thinking it was the waiter delivering snacks, Adele immediately stood up, skipped over and opened the door.

The girl liked the various snacks in Longmen very much. Their ingredients might not be as good as the precious pastries enjoyed by the nobles in the Tower of Leitania, but they were of various types and had completely different tastes.

But after opening the door, Adele realized that she was wrong.

The person who appeared in front of him was not the teahouse waiter, but Chongxiao, who was still wearing a police uniform, and Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya standing behind him.

"Heavy...heavy...heavy..."

"My name is Chongxiao, Miss Adele."

Chongxiao, who thought the other party didn't remember his name, spoke politely.

However, the girl's nervous expression and slightly red face actually seemed more like she had seen someone she cared about, rather than being embarrassed...

Similar to the situation with Remule, at a critical moment of life and death, a figure descended from the sky and defeated the dangerous enemy with a sacred and powerful posture. This scene is not so easy to forget.

Even though Chongxiao himself doesn't know it, he has actually been regarded as a hero in Adele's heart.

Katia and Magna were both a little surprised by Chongxiao's visit. They knew that this star inspector was involved in Longmen's infected industrial project. Katia had even met Chongxiao several times before, but they didn't expect that Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya actually... secretly centered on him?

"Professor Katia Naumann, Professor Magna Naumann, first of all... Xiaoxia has to apologize to both of you."

Chongxiao couldn't speak Letanian, but Katia, a top student, could barely communicate in Yan after just two months of cram school.

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Yuxia's hand without any hesitation and dragged the girl, who seemed a little reluctant, in front of him...

"sorry!"

"This... No, you're welcome?"

Katia didn't know what to say for a moment.

The awkward situation lasted for about half a minute, and then Shi Huaiya "broke the deadlock" and invited everyone to sit in the living room.

Katia's restraint, Lin Yuxia's depression and Shi Huaiya's gloating are more obvious, while Adele's stealing glances at Chongxiao and Magna's slightly frowned brows are a little more obscure. But the most hidden one is definitely the "bad water" in Chongxiao's belly.

In fact, after arriving and understanding the situation, Chongxiao almost wanted to give Lin Yuxia a thumbs up.

The comprehensive industry based on mineral processing has no shortage of funds or equipment, and nowadays there is no shortage of infected employees... There is nothing that can be done in terms of horizontal expansion.

Therefore, the next step of development must focus on vertical extension.

The Neumanns are both talented geologists, and are particularly good at studying volcanic environments. In this land, due to the existence of source stone, the development of mineralogy is difficult. It can be said that it is a field closely related to various minerals. If they join the research center that Shi Huaiya plans to establish next, it will undoubtedly be a great thing.

Chongxiao, who originally only learned about this situation from Faber, had also thought about how to poach players from William University. However, Lin Yuxia hit a straight ball that "cut off the source of the firewood" and brought the whole family to the goal... Then the next thing would be easy.

"I understand your feelings very well, but I don't suggest that you return to Leitania now."

"What? Inspector Chongxiao, are you trying to bend the law for personal gain?"

As mentioned before, Katia is not interested in the social etiquette, so she speaks directly to the point of being rude.

Fortunately, Chongxiao doesn't care about these...

"If bending the law for personal gain can guarantee the safety of both of you, then I would rather do it."

"…personal safety?"

Magna couldn't understand what he was saying, but her husband's shock and dullness were enough to show that the two must have mentioned something extremely serious.

Chongxiao was not the kind of person who rushed over to meet them. Before going upstairs and ringing the doorbell, he had already met with Han Jie and learned in detail about the clues he had found at Leitania William University, and was sure that the hidden danger was not groundless.

"I know that you two are planning to go to Una Volcano for a field survey. So what will happen if you get lost after climbing the mountain, or fail to detect any movement inside the mountain in time?"

There was a hint of uneasiness in Katia's eyes.

You know, even ordinary mountaineering enthusiasts must ensure the accuracy of their orientation, not to mention a volcano that may erupt. Movement inside the mountain often indicates an eruption, which will undoubtedly put lives in danger if it is not detected in the first place.

"If you mean... the equipment that has not yet been commissioned."

"Haven't finished debugging yet?"

Chongxiao smiled and shook his head. "Professor, please tell me, for something as dangerous as climbing a volcano, shouldn't we only decide to take action after debugging and making sure that the most important equipment is OK?"

This is true. Volcano exploration is different from ordinary travel. It involves risking your life, so the equipment you bring must be of course not make do with simple equipment.

"Also, if such a serious problem can occur before departure, who can guarantee what will happen after departure?"

At this moment, Katia felt like sitting on pins and needles.
