Shi Huaiya judged from Bai Lang's expression that he was very interested, so she continued, "My friend is Lin Yuxia, and we are old classmates. By the way, if you want to go, when will you go?"
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll say hello to her tomorrow. When you go to the association, find her and just tell her my name."
"This, this is not good." White Wolf said a little embarrassedly.
"What's wrong with that? It's all for the development of Longmen." Shi Huaiya's eyes lit up. "To be honest, I have managed a company myself, but I have never tried to open a new one. So, would you like me to help? I also want to experience the feeling of starting a business."
"Ah, I can't thank you enough for coming to help me. If you have any questions, I will ask you directly."
"Just come to me! I'm quite confident in this regard." Shi Huaiya wrote down his cell phone number on a piece of paper and tore it to Bai Lang with great pride.
In the subsequent communication, Officer Xingxiong was distressed to find that Shi Huaiya had completely gone off topic. This guy seemed to have forgotten the important matter they had planned before, and instead talked about companies, markets, and capital in front of Miss Bailang. One talked incessantly, and the other listened fascinatedly.
For Shi Huaiya, there was nothing more interesting than talking about economics with others, especially when Miss Bailang seemed to be taking notes, which made her more motivated the more she talked. From Bailang's perspective, she found that what Inspector Shi said were all important economic intelligence about Longmen. Her intuition told her that these things were not something that could be casually read in the newspaper, so she put in her utmost effort and tried her best to remember every bit she could.
Volume 3: Chapter 31: The Driver
The conversation between Bai Lang and Shi Huaiya was interrupted by the staff of Penguin Logistics.
After Texas and his group delivered the express, they happened to pass by the Guard Bureau on their way back. They decided to stop the car in front of the Guard Bureau on a whim, and then Angel of Power came forward to call White Wolf away.
After saying goodbye to White Wolf and Exia in a friendly manner, Xing Xiong looked at Shi Huaiya helplessly: "Missy, this is different from what we agreed on before."
"It's so hard to meet a junior who shares the same hobbies as me."
"She is not some junior, she is Lord Ursus, Olicia." Xingxiong tried his best to make his tone sound more serious.
"You're not right." Shi Huaiya said with a beaming face, "In this line of work, Lord Ursus's identity is not that important. Those who enter later are the younger generation."
Xingxiong rolled his eyes: "I think you are hopeless."
"Hehe, don't worry, I know my limits and I won't forget the important things. Introducing her to the Entrepreneurship Association this time gives me an excuse to contact my old classmates. It will also be convenient for us to continue with what Chief Wei has told us to do. The second thing is to strengthen contact with Miss Olicia to see if we can find more information. Before, we could only contact her to find excuses for the case, but it's different now, don't you understand?"
Xingxiong was so surprised when he heard the second half: "Great! Missy, you have learned how to kill two birds with one stone. How did you become so powerful when Lao Chen was not around?"
"I've always been this good, okay?" Shi Huaiya suddenly got angry when she heard the word 'Old Chen'. She shouted indignantly, "If I hadn't deliberately let that stinky dragon go, I should have been the leader of the inspection team."
"Missy, if you have any ideas, I will definitely support you." Xingxiong blushed and tried hard to pretend to be a lackey, but unfortunately, this temperament was as ridiculous as it could be on his 1.80-meter-tall body.
Shi Huaiya couldn't stop laughing: "Xingxiong, you, don't pretend like this anymore, it's not like you."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Missy knows my feelings."
"I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight!" Shi Huaiya made a decision that made Xing Xiong happy.
The two of them worked for a while before Shi Huaiya suddenly put down her pen and held her chin with her right hand. It was unknown what she was thinking about. After a while, she suddenly said:
"Xingxiong, I've thought about it again. What you said before is right. Olicia doesn't look like a bad person. Otherwise, when Lao Chen comes back, let's find a time for them to sit down and talk to see if there is any misunderstanding."
Xingxiong was checking the case photos provided by Penguin Logistics. He nodded and said, "That seems to be the case. Then why are we going through so much trouble? Let's just call Lao Chen and inform him."
"Don't." Shi Huaiya shook her head quickly. "Old Chen finally got a vacation in Rhode Island. She will definitely come back immediately after you call. Let her rest for a few more days. Olicia has to deal with company business and will definitely not leave in the short term. We are not in a hurry."
"Okay." Xingxiong tapped the document with a pen, "Missy, if we don't fix it, we'll have to work overtime tonight. We've been delayed too long this afternoon."
Shi Huaiya glanced at the wall clock reflexively and asked in surprise, "Ah, why is it four o'clock already?"
"You and Olicia, you two have been talking for more than an hour, don't you feel anything?"
"No."
"Tsk, tsk."
……
After dinner, White Wolf told Texas and the others that she was going back to Rhode Island and would come over the next morning. She declined the idea of Angelus driving her back and decided to go there herself.
So, Texas gave the key to Penguin Logistics' spare car to White Wolf. Although it was a spare car, it was also a spare car modified by Texas himself. It was said that the maximum speed was ridiculously fast. As long as you were brave enough, you could shorten the driving time between Rhodes Island and Lungmen to about an hour.
>#
Bai Lang is now very aware of her driving skills, and she cannot afford to pay the traffic ticket of Longmen, so this "thousand-mile horse" seems destined to be buried in her hands. After saying goodbye to Penguin Logistics, she slowly took an hour to drive out of Longmen City.
But when she got outside, that is, the straight passage between Longmen and Rhodes Island, she suddenly became bolder. Relying on the fact that the road was specially paved for Rhodes Island, few people passed by normally, and there were no traffic police, she kept speeding up. When the speed was about to exceed a hundred yards, her brain involuntarily thought of the scene when Angel was driving.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't think about it. She couldn't help shivering when she thought of the terrifying scene. A car moving at high speed couldn't withstand this shiver. In just a moment, accompanied by a harsh friction sound, the car drifted sideways to the outside of the road, and after knocking down a street lamp and several newly planted roadside trees, it broke down in the wilderness with a rattling sound.
Bai Lang sat in the car blankly and did not get out immediately. Like all drivers who encountered a traffic accident for the first time, she was completely confused.
A small orange-fur animal was frightened by the sudden appearance of the huge monster. After the car was turned off and confirmed to be safe, it jumped out of the bushes with a "whoosh" and ran away in a few seconds.
The fox-like creature woke Bai Lang up from her daze. She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car to check the situation. There was a slight dent in the car where it was hit, but it wasn't very obvious. She didn't know what the glass was made of, but it didn't break after the impact. The wheels also looked slightly worn, but overall they were still very strong.
In comparison, the street lamp and a few small trees were in a much worse state. The street lamp was knocked away more than ten meters, and the small trees were broken directly at the root. I don't know what standard Texas used to modify the vehicle, but this kind of collision was nothing.
She sat back in the driver's seat, then took out her cell phone and called Superintendent Shi Huaiya to surrender herself. During the call, she honestly told the story of how she had crashed into a street lamp and damaged roadside trees, and expressed her willingness to accept punishment.
After she finished her call with Inspector Shi Huaiya, she called the Texas number again and stated that all her salary while working at Penguin Logistics would be used to pay traffic fines and vehicle maintenance fees. If it was not enough, she would find another way to make up the difference.
After the call ended, Bai Lang sat silently in the car, looked up at the bustling night scene of Longmen, and entered the time of a sage with no desires or requests.
A few minutes later, she adjusted her mindset, restarted the engine, and drove back to the main road. This time, she kept repeating the word "stability" in her mind as she headed towards Rhodes Island again.
Volume 3: Chapter 32: Passing by
When White Wolf arrived at Rhodes Island, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. She used her employee card to swipe open the gate at the boarding gate and walked forward along the passage inside the ship.
The passage from the boarding gate to the interior of Rhodes Island is very long. There is a section of the road with various workshops on both sides. When she passed by here, she saw a room with a half-open door and a light on. She probably thought someone was working the night shift inside.
It was really hard work, she thought, but she was also very busy right now, so she ignored this little episode and just walked away.
Bai Lang would probably never know that that night, she and Chen Huijie were only separated by a door. If she had stopped and looked inside the door, or if Chen Huijie had been moved by the footsteps at the door, they would have met earlier in a completely different environment, and the misunderstanding might not have occurred.
Unfortunately, the person outside the door was in a hurry and the person inside was busy, so the two people just passed each other.
After returning to his dormitory, Bai Lang went into the room to wash his face, then went out, turned left, walked to Huafalin's door, and started knocking on it "bang bang bang".
The complaining voice of Miss Blood Demon came from the room: "Who is it?"
"it's me."
Hua Falin opened the door: "Back from Longmen?"
"Well, I have to go there early tomorrow morning. Do you have any inhibitors left?"
"Everything is ready for you." Huafalin said as she walked back into the house and entered the studio. After a while, she came out again, holding a row of three type I inhibitors in her left hand and a bottle of red wine in her right hand.
Bailang took the inhibitor and put it aside, uncorked the bottle of red wine, took the glass from Warfarin, and quickly poured a glass.
"It's just one cup, you don't want to drink?"
Huafalin shook her head: "I won't drink it today."
"Then I won't be polite." White Wolf took a sip without caring and praised: "Yours is still the best."
"Why, there is such a pastime in Longmen?"
"I drank it once with Penguin Logistics, but the red wine was bitter. Although it looked high-end, I just couldn't drink it."
"If you like, take a few bottles back. I rarely drink."
“No.” White Wolf shook his head. “Ifrit and Xiaoke will go to my place, and I’m afraid I might accidentally lead them astray.”
"That's a pity." Huafalin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she leaned close to the white wolf's ear and whispered, "Speaking of Ifrit, I have big news now, and it's also related to Hemer."
"what happened?"
"The legendary Saria showed up yesterday afternoon. Ifrit seemed to be very close to her. Then Hemer came and she gave him a document and left. The two of them didn't say a word from beginning to end. I really don't know what their relationship is."
"It's hard to say. This is quite complicated." White Wolf said thoughtfully, "She didn't say a word to Hemer?"
"It seems like they did, but it must have been only two or three sentences. They separated after only one minute of meeting each other."
"Oh, that's a pity. I thought they were going to reconcile!"
"Do you know their relationship? Oh, now I remember, the Operation Flame Demon document says the person involved is White Wolf, which is your code name! Tsk, I still always mistake you for Fafa Lin."
"Just call me Fafalin. By the way, do we still need to do the blood source stone crystal density test?"
"Yes." Hua Farin rubbed his temple in distress. "In order to monitor the condition, we need to do tests at least twice a week. Wait a moment, I'll prepare the equipment for you."
"Are you not feeling well?" Bai Lang felt a little embarrassed when she saw her doctor's distressed look. She suspected that it was because she asked the doctor to work overtime.
"I'm fine. It's for other reasons. It's probably hard for you to understand. As a blood demon, doing this kind of work is very hard, especially in the middle of the night."
"Uh, why?" White Wolf asked confusedly.
"Haven't you heard of the legend of the blood demon?"
"I've heard of it." She suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief. "Are those legends true?"
"Of course it's true! Otherwise how could the Blood Demon have such a bad reputation. Fafarin, you don't just know this now, do you?" Huafarin looked at Bailang in astonishment while holding the sampling syringe.
"I, I thought it was all a lie. People everywhere were talking about Sarkaz being terrible demons, so I didn't believe anything." White Wolf said nervously. She suddenly understood why there were still many empty rooms around Warfarin's dormitory even though the people of Rhodes Island did not reject Sarkaz. If the legend of the blood demon was true, it was indeed terrifying.
"It's not a lie, but it's not as exaggerated as the legends say. For example, it's nonsense to say that you'll get pink eye if bitten. There's even more outrageous talk, saying that a blood demon will suck people dry. How is that possible? A normal blood demon will only drink one or two glasses when necessary, just like the red wine glass you hold. There's not much left."
In other words, is there anything abnormal?
White Wolf lowered her head and looked at the bright red liquid in the wine glass, which was almost the color of blood. She felt scared for a moment. Although she knew it was red wine, she just lost her appetite.
Only then did she notice more clearly that Miss Warfarin's skin seemed too white and her eyes were eerily red, which were unusual physical characteristics, but she had never noticed them before.
She unconsciously moved to the other side of the sofa, increasing the distance between her and Huafalin, and then asked carefully: "You, you won't bite me suddenly, will you?"
Miss Blood Demon's eyes became visibly dim. White Wolf noticed this and suddenly felt sad.
"No, I'm also a professional doctor." Hua Farin smiled, not knowing whether it was free and easy or self-deprecating. Her voice became smaller and smaller. "If you are scared, I know you believe in Hemer. We can go find her..."
Bai Lang felt mixed emotions. Perhaps Hua Falin thought that she was different from ordinary people and would not avoid the blood demon. Who knew...
There is no one in the world more stupid than her.
She lowered her head and said in shame, "I'm sorry."
Hua Falin sighed indifferently: "It's okay, I understand. I'm used to everyone doing this."
"No, this can't be done. This is unfair, Huafalin, you are the most qualified doctor." White Wolf defended anxiously, "I have to admit that I was scared just now, but that was definitely not my intention. I believe in Hemer, and I absolutely believe in you. Even if you bite me, I still believe in you."
"You said it, I can bite you." Huafalin laughed happily, as if her previous look of frustration in the world had never happened.
Bai Lang gritted her teeth and decided to go all out. She rolled up her sleeves and stretched her arms in front of Huafalin without saying a word.
Huafalin narrowed her eyes, drew a cross on the white arm in front of her with her fingernails, stared at the white wolf with a sly smile on her face, and made a gesture as if she was going to take a bite.
Volume 3: Chapter 33: The Slum Doctor
Bai Lang quickly turned her head away, not daring to look. She felt as if her left arm was pricked by a needle, and the blood in her body gathered in her arm.
It doesn’t hurt much, does it?
Just like getting an injection, it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of the blood demon.
The White Wolf, who had defeated herself, turned back confidently and saw Huafalin waving a blood sampling needle in front of her.
"The sampling is complete and the results will be available in ten minutes."
"Ah You…"
"I told you so long ago." Huafalin raised her head proudly, "I am a blood demon who has escaped from vulgar tastes. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
She kept her triumphant smile, turned around, glanced at the blood sample in her hand, and swallowed hard.
God knows how much effort she had to exert to control herself just now. This Miss Rupert, who has almost the same name as her, is really too troublesome. If she continues to come a few nights a week like this, she doesn't know how long she can hold on...
How on earth did Krusil do it? She once again turned her attention to this century-old question that she had pondered countless times.
After the test, Bai Lang still got a data of 0.25+, which was a very satisfactory number. It showed that the crystal density of her blood source stone was close to stability, and it was very likely that her condition remained in the dividing line between mild and moderate infections.
She returned to her bedroom happily. This time she saw hope for the improvement of her oripathy and also eased the conflict with her doctor. After encountering so many bad things today, her luck finally turned around in the evening.
She opened her phone and saw Doumiao's message, which said that the company's plans had already taken shape, and now Officer Chen had a suggestion, asking whether to set up an office in Longmen specifically to handle business orders.
According to Doumiao, Officer Chen revealed that a wave of companies had recently had their business licenses revoked due to serious tax evasion. The properties of these companies had also been confiscated, and some of them would be put into judicial auction. Maybe we could try our luck then.
Although Officer Chen meant well by saying this, Bai Lang felt that it was better not to count on such a thing. No one was a fool, and it was unlikely that there would be any loopholes to be found in a place like Longmen where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
