"Miss, Miss?" the waitress asked cautiously. She had no idea what had happened, nor did she know why her young lady was silent. She could only guess that she seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I'm fine." Lin Yuxia shook her head gently and put the glass back on the table with her right hand. At the moment the glass touched the table, there was a sudden muffled sound of shattering, and the crystal 'high feet' rolled to the ground. Glass shards were scattered on the table, accompanied by traces of blood.
"Miss, you are injured. I will go get some medicine." The waiter spoke hurriedly and turned around to go find medicine.
Lin Yuxia shook her head indifferently: "No need, it's just a small wound, help me collect these fragments."
She returned to her room alone, suddenly took out her cell phone and dialed a number: "Send another wave of people to Miss Olicia to ensure her safety. I will not allow any problems to occur, understand?"
After giving the instructions, she sat in front of the empty French window, staring at the colorful Longmen City in trance and silence, as she did in the past.

Volume 6: Chapter 63: Memories of the Dead
The police car did not go directly to the Guards Bureau. They received a message from Inspector Shi Huaiya that they needed support for the investigation. So Chen Huijie took a long detour to the southeast and left Xingxiong to help.
After Xingxiong left, Chen Huijie closed the car door and continued to go to the Guard Bureau with Bailang. The cold wind was blowing at night, and she felt that something was missing.
Obviously, the car was too quiet without the excitement.
When Xingxiong was around, the three of them could still chat for a while, talking about what trouble Penguin Logistics had gotten into recently, and what criminals the Guards had caught, but as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became cold.
Chen Huijie felt uncomfortable. This kind of quiet scene actually happened frequently, but it only occurred when she was driving the criminals back to the Guard Bureau.
Miss White Wolf was a close friend of her late sister and had helped the Guards a lot, so it was really inappropriate for her to be so cold. However, she didn't know what topic to start with, so she would look back in the rearview mirror from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The police car drove around the corner. The cold wind rushed in through the rear window as it turned, swelling up in the narrow cabin and making the back of Chen Huijie's head cold.
She couldn't help but look back and saw Miss Rupert shivering in the cold wind, but despite this, she still stubbornly stood in front of the open car window.
"Miss White Wolf, aren't you cold with the window open?"
The other party acted as if he was startled, but he quickly reacted and asked, "Are you cold? If you are, I will turn it off."
"I'm definitely not cold sitting in the front."
Miss White Wolf reached out and closed the window a little, then explained sheepishly: "I was afraid that I would get drowsy later, so I thought that getting some fresh air would make my brain clearer."
Although it was a very legitimate reason, something seemed wrong. Chen Huijie thought silently, isn't it a bit... silly to be frozen like this?
She shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. The case is not complicated. The main thing is to understand some simple situations. If you feel cold, just close it."
"Oh, thank you Officer Chen, I'm not cold."
"Your lips are white from the cold."
Miss White Wolf was stunned for a moment, her face turned red and white, she closed the window angrily, then lowered her head without saying a word.
Chen Huijie inexplicably had the urge to talk, so she asked, "You seem to be quite afraid of the cold. I heard that Ice Stone Technology is in the north of Ursus. What will you do there?"
"Just, just bear with it." Miss White Wolf replied stiffly, "Try to stay in the room and don't go out."
"The winter there is much longer than in the south. Staying in a room for a whole winter?"
"No, no, actually, just wear something thicker. You'll get used to it if you stay here for a while."
"Are you a little nervous about talking?"
"No." Miss White Wolf answered quickly, as if her mouth had suddenly become more fluent.
Chen Huijie nodded, and suddenly thought of something that happened in the hotel, so she asked casually:
"Before, when Xingxiong and I first arrived at the hotel, you woke up. Did Miss Lin say that you were scared?"
Miss White Wolf was very confused. Her brain was severely disturbed by alcohol at the time and she could not remember things clearly.
"Is there?" she asked carefully.
"I can't remember clearly. I was only thinking about the case at the time and didn't pay much attention. I think I heard it wrongly. We have seen this before. There is nothing to be afraid of."
This sentence reminded Bai Lang, as if a switch was triggered, and that piece of memory suddenly became clear. She remembered that when she just woke up, she was indeed frightened by the sudden appearance of Officer Chen, and Miss Lin said to her at that time...'Don't be afraid?'
A feeling of shame flooded my heart.
She felt her face getting hot, so she reminded herself with Officer Chen's words: I must have heard it wrong, I definitely heard it wrong, I must have drunk too much to have this false hallucination.
Officer Chen didn't pay attention to Bai Lang's condition. She was thinking about something in her mind. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "Bai Lang, can you tell me about her?"
"she?"
"Well, sister, I was always afraid to understand it before, afraid that I wouldn't be able to accept it, but now it's okay."
This sentence once again awakened the guilt in White Wolf's heart. She suddenly wanted to let the truth out, but she finally held back. Since she had already promised Tallulah, she would leave this issue to the other sisters.
He could answer the questions asked by Officer Chen, but the other party was a senior superintendent who was best at distinguishing truth from falsehood, so he had to be careful not to reveal any flaws in his words.
She turned her head to look out the window, her eyes lingering on the rapidly receding street lamp, and said softly, "Actually, we are not together most of the time, so I don't know much. I can only try to tell you a little."
"It doesn't matter. I'm satisfied to hear a little bit. She lets you wear her military uniform. You two must have a very good relationship."
The relationship is pretty good now. Bai Lang thought, since there is no way to escape this hurdle, she can talk about some topics that are impressive and safe:
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then subconsciously said the first sentence: "She is a person who speaks very directly and doesn't like to beat around the bush."
Chen Huijie opened her eyes wide in surprise, with a rare smile of joy on her lips, as if she had heard something to be proud of: "Xingxiong also said that to me. I don't like to beat around the bush when I talk. In this respect, I am exactly the same as her. What else?"
"When she eats, if she can, she will order a special drink like the Ursus, which is actually vodka. She always orders it, but she always takes small sips, which doesn't seem like Ursus."
Chen Huijie's eyes turned to confusion, and she recalled the past in her heart. She said with a bit of loneliness: "Four years ago, we met at Longmen Floating Port and had dinner together. At that time, I felt that she had a lot of Ursus habits, but also a lot of Victoria's habits. She looked like an Ursusian, and also like a Victorian, but not like a Yan countryman."
"She said she grew up in Ursus and loved Victoria, and even made a special trip to visit it, but was very disappointed."
Chen Huijie smiled knowingly and said, "Shi Huaiya also said that there is nothing good about Victoria. She doesn't want to go back to Longmen at all. Victoria has been in chaos again recently."
"Yeah, Victoria and Ursus are both messy."
"I tried to persuade her to return to Longmen, but she refused and insisted on staying in Ursus. Sometimes I really couldn't understand why she wanted to stay in a place like Ursus."
"Maybe she has something to do."
"Let's not talk about Ursus." Chen Huijie waved her hand to avoid the topic from turning to an unpleasant place.
Asked, "Did she have a crush on someone at the time?"
Miss White Wolf shuddered, feeling that this question was a bit tricky. She pondered for a moment and answered carefully, "As far as I know, she has never had a boyfriend."
……
Volume 6: Chapter 64: Heartbroken
The two's "recollection" of Tallulah did not last too long, and was forced to interrupt when they arrived at the Guard Bureau. This result was also what White Wolf urgently needed, because she found that the further she went on, the more difficult it was to deal with Officer Chen's questions, so it would be safer to end it early.
Inside the police office of the Guards Bureau, Chen Huijie was sorting out documents while chatting with Bai Lang. When she finished, she opened the record book to ask Bai Lang for information about the case.
This was not consistent with the "simple understanding" mentioned earlier. Bai Lang felt that the other party's questions were incredibly detailed. He almost asked her about the entire process of her encounter with the assassin, and then constantly compared and verified the information with that in the possession of the Guard Bureau.
If the cold wind that had blown halfway down the road hadn't cleared her head, she wouldn't have been able to handle the situation.
Perhaps this is what Officer Chen considers a 'simple' investigation.
After a wave of inquiries, Chen Huijie put a red check mark on the information and said carefully: "It has been verified. It seems that the information provided by No. 17 is indeed correct. So the information he said about the Wuzhou Alliance is credible enough."
"Can you tell me about it?" White Wolf did not hide his concern.
"Of course." Chen Huijie nodded, "I wanted to tell you in the beginning. The cause of the incident was this. After the burning incident in the outer ring, I got information from Uncle Lin..."
"Rat King?"
Chen Huijie nodded unnaturally: "Yes, it's Lin Yuxia's father. Miss Lin has been investigating the killer and finally located a secret casino in the outer ring, where the fire also occurred. After investigation, the burning case involved two important wanted criminals, No. 16 and No. 17. No. 16 is presumed to be the core figure in the case, but unfortunately he was injured in the fire and died after ineffective treatment. Fortunately, No. 17 also provided a lot of useful information, one of which was about the Wuzhou League."
"In the assassination attempt on you, the Wu Zhou League sent a high-level assassin. We are not sure who contacted the Wu Zhou League, and Prisoner No. 17 is also unaware of this. But based on the situation of the Wu Zhou League, it can only be someone with extremely rich financial resources. After all, ordinary people cannot afford their high-level assassins."
Miss White Wolf was silent for a moment, and no one knew what she was thinking. Then she asked, "Did Prisoner No. 17 say that the Wuzhou League sent out several high-level assassins?"
Chen Huijie shook his head: "He doesn't know about this, but I have observed the actions of the Wuzhou League. It seems that they will not send two high-level assassins to the same target."
"Is there a specific time? When did the Wuzhou League send the assassin here?"
"I asked Prisoner No. 17, but he couldn't give a clear answer. He could only roughly confirm that it was two weeks ago."
"Two weeks ago, two weeks ago." Miss White Wolf lowered her head, muttering to herself with a scattered look in her eyes.
It's all so obvious.
Two weeks ago, Miss Platinum just came here for 'vacation' and then 'happened' to meet her.
She should have realized long ago that many of the other party's behaviors were actually unusual, and even every reminder for her to be careful of the killer had a special meaning.
You are so stupid! How can there be such an unqualified assassin as you?
She suddenly felt her nose getting sore and she blinked hard to prevent the tears from flowing out.
"Are you okay?" Chen Huijie looked at Bai Lang worriedly. "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. If I'm not mistaken, the assassins should have been set up to target Bingshi's press conference. Now that the press conference is over, perhaps the people from the Wuzhou League have already gone back."
"Yeah, I'm not worried." Bai Lang rubbed his eyes, "Officer Chen, I drank too much and I'm not feeling well. I want to go back and rest."
"There is a special lounge in the Guard Bureau."
"I want to go back to the hotel. Don't worry, the high-level assassin from the Wuzhou League won't hurt me. I'm not weak myself, and I know Miss Lin has arranged some people near the hotel."
Chen Huijie felt the other party's determination. She knew in her heart that when the Guard Bureau began to help guard against the Wu Zhou Alliance, the latter would not be able to take action again. With Lin Yuxia's people following her, Miss Bailang was actually very safe. She nodded and said, "Okay, if you encounter anything, feel free to contact me."
"Well, Officer Chen, please go ahead and get busy." Bai Lang said as he stood up and prepared to leave the guard room.
"Wait, I'll drive you back, and I can pick up Xingxiong and the others on the way."
"Oh, yes, okay, thank you."
Chen Huijie drove the police car of the Guard Bureau all the way to the Dagu Hotel. On the way, she wanted to talk about her sister again, but Miss Bailang seemed to be in a bad mood, so she gave up the idea.
This situation is also normal, she thought secretly, no matter who knows that she is being targeted by the Wuzhou Alliance, they will not be in a good mood. It's a pity that she can't tell the other party about her safety because it involves Longmen's confidential information.
The two said goodbye at the door of Dagu Hotel. Bai Lang walked up the stairs alone, came to the door of the room, swiped the room card, and pressed the door handle with his right hand.
She kept pushing but not pushing, hesitating in place.
When she opened the door, would Miss Bai Jin still be there? Would she still be sitting on the sofa waiting for her like before?
She knew the result very well, but she couldn't help but hold on to unnecessary expectations.
The door opened and the room was dark.
She turned on the light and looked around, trying to pay attention to every corner.
The room was clean, the dressing table and coffee table were neatly arranged, the bedding was folded into a nice square and placed at the head of the bed, and the windows were closed tightly...
She walked to the window, opened it and looked out, trying to find some clues, but it was all in vain. The scent of Miss Platinum seemed to have completely disappeared.
Looking at the tidy room, her ears drooped. She sat on the sofa sullenly, holding her cheeks with her hands, staring down at the coffee table in a daze.
The entire Longmen press conference was like a dream. It ended, the dream ended, and Miss Platinum left.
What have I grasped in this void?
Sadness was like a thread, winding around her heart. When she was about to fall into it, a light brown piece of letter paper placed on the coffee table suddenly caught her eye.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly moved the glass teacup away and opened the letter.
The neat and beautiful handwriting was exactly what Miss Kuranta left:
"White Wolf, let me guess, are you very sad now? If you are, I would be very happy. Don't blame me, I can't help it. This is my true thought."
So, you should be happy too, and don't be bored alone, okay? It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise, I would comb your hair and kiss your eyes (or lips, please) until you are happy.
Remember to take good care of yourself and remember to think of me.
——I will always love you, Xinteleya'
Miss Bailang blushed after reading just a few lines of words. She threw the letter on the sofa and pressed it down with the pillow.
She felt very upset.
Volume 6: Chapter 65: The Sacrifice
Miss White Wolf hugged the sofa pillow and lay on it, her tail wagging uncontrollably.
Miss Kuranta is writing nonsense, she thought.
Who writes a farewell letter like this? And using lips instead? How embarrassing.
