This nonsensical remark really frightened Bai Lang. She didn't know whether this was a local dialect or some jargon, but she felt it sounded impressive anyway.

"I, I don't understand."

Texas also realized that she had caused trouble to others. She stopped sighing and explained: "Lapland is an old acquaintance of mine, but for some reason, I don't want to see her."

"Hey, that's just perfect."

"What do you mean?"

"I deceived Lappland. No, I sent her to Rhodes Island for treatment. She had a serious oripathy and had to be sent for treatment." White Wolf emphasized the word 'must', trying to make his words sound convincing.

"Will she listen to you?"

"I told her you were a Rhodes Island operator, so..."

"Yeah," Texas replied, "thank you very much, you're helping me a lot."

"Don't be polite to me." Bai Lang thought about it and felt that as a friend, she needed to help the other party analyze the situation.

She spoke again: "This is definitely not a long-term solution. I can see that Lappland is desperate to find you. There is a saying in Colombia that when one is determined to do something, everything will give way to it. Texas, I think... you can't escape."

"You're right. I probably... just want to delay for a while. Phew! Give me a few days. Once I'm ready, I'll go to Rhodes Island to find her."

"Leave it to me, rest assured. I will find a way to hold her back until you make up your mind." Bai Langzhi promised with satisfaction. She only had a 50% chance of winning against the killer Lappland, but she was 100% sure of dealing with a certain stupid Lupert.

After hanging up the phone, Bailang communicated with Doumiao remotely to discuss the company's new progress and learned that everything was ready. With the help of Officer Chen, even the construction company had been contacted. Once she took the agreement from Rhodes Island, they could officially start work. Now Doumiao was planning to recruit researchers.

Bai Lang wrote down what she needed to do, and mentioned the upcoming judicial auction and Doumiao, and asked the other party to come to Longmen when the time comes and participate in the auction on her behalf.

She has always had her own considerations regarding the company. Her identity is special and she might get into trouble one day. Therefore, from the beginning, she planned to hide behind the scenes and leave the main affairs to Miss Doumiao. For Doumiao, a dreamer who has been running around with a business plan for several years, all of this is the best opportunity.

After putting down her phone, Bai Lang began to think about the researchers' configuration, and the snow pheasant mentioned by Shi Huaiya appeared in her mind again.

It was time to meet with the other party, but she had to prepare more in advance. She knew very well that researchers were not people who could be satisfied simply by taking money. If she talked about money right away, some researchers would even feel insulted.

But fortunately, she knew that Xuezhi was a young man, and she thought that many things would be much simpler. What she was most worried about was discussing cooperation with some middle-aged or older professors and experts in the future. Although there were some truly academically enthusiasts among these people, there were more of another kind of people:

They want to gain enough benefits, but they don’t want others to see that they are greedy for money. Once they talk about money, the other party will lose face and become aloof and arrogant scholars. If they don’t talk about it, the cooperation will inevitably fail. They will then criticize the partner in their own circle for not understanding scientific research at all, attracting the same indignation to echo and satisfy their vanity.

However, these people are not all frauds, they are often real talents and knowledge. It can only be said that the world is a real world, people are real people, morality and scientific research are difficult to equate. No matter how high they climb or how famous they are, they are still people after all, and they must be given due tolerance.

Bai Lang has always admired Researcher Hemer. She is willing to take the greatest risk for him. In addition to personal relationships, this is also a reason.

When Bailang came back to his senses from his thoughts, he found that Baijin had come back at some point and was fiddling with the medical equipment in the room out of boredom.

She guessed that the other party had not had dinner yet, so she suddenly got excited and pretended to be polite and aristocratic, and extended an invitation, threatening to go for a big meal.

Bai Jin smiled and nodded in agreement. She packed her things and quietly put a Casimir bank card into her pocket. She guessed that after Bai Lang was proud of himself, he would soon find that he didn't have enough money for a big meal. In order to avoid walking into a street stall in the cold wind, it was better to prepare early.

Volume 3: Chapter 73 Specialties

The two men walked to the hospital entrance. This time, there was no Rat King's car to pick them up. White Wolf naturally touched his pocket and suddenly found something strange.

She was penniless at the moment, not to mention eating, she couldn't even afford a taxi fare.

Why is this so?

Didn't she just discuss a huge business deal with the Rat King not long ago? Didn't she know a lot of rich people?

But why is this so?

She realized a cruel reality. Even though she made friends with many of Longmen's richest people and had some huge business deals under her, she was still a poor person in essence.

What gave her the illusion that she was rich?

She stood in the cold wind, thinking, her expression changing in a direction that Bai Jin couldn't see. When she faced her companions again, she already had an idea.

She calmly and friendly discussed: "Bai Jin, do you think the food in the hospital is actually quite good?"

Before Bai Jin could reply, she explained again: "You know, this is not an ordinary hospital, it's a private hospital. The food is really good, and it's a bit cold outside..."

"I'm not afraid of the cold. You said you would treat me to a big meal today." Bai Jin saw what her friend was thinking and deliberately spoke in a serious tone. Her mood became cheerful. As long as she was with Bai Lang, she could always keep a good mood.

"You have just recovered from your injury, so it is not convenient for you to have a big meal." Bai Lang began to persuade in a very professional tone, "The doctor of Yan Country said: Eat and drink in moderation, and have a regular daily routine, so that your body and spirit can be in harmony and you can live out your natural life."

"I don't want to listen." Bai Jin covered her ears and muttered, "You are talking to me about the Yan people again. You just don't want to have dinner with me." She knew the reason clearly, but she didn't point it out. This was the greatest fun of this game.

Now it was Bai Lang's turn to be in trouble. She gritted her teeth and thought about whether Shi Huaiya's restaurant would let her buy on credit. A hint of a smile was caught by her sharp ears.

She turned her head and saw Platinum dangling a card between his fingers, and trying hard to imitate a serious expression with the remaining smile on his face.

She took the card decisively, then cleared her throat: "It's my treat this time, let's remember, when I have money, I'll pay you back double!"

This time Bai Lang was not talking nonsense. If everything went well, her company might really make money in the future. Then she would not be so poor anymore, definitely.

Bailang and Baijin were not picky people and did not care much about the grade of the destination. They walked past the hospital and walked less than 500 meters forward, and stopped at the door of a clean and tidy restaurant.

"Are you tired?" White Wolf turned his head and asked.

"I can't walk anymore." Bai Jin replied.

"Then let's do it here." White Wolf made the decision happily.

Although there were only two of them, Bai Lang insisted on having a private room. She was treating them to a big dinner this time, so naturally she couldn't be careless.

The helpless waiter arranged the smallest private room for her. Even so, the round table inside was big enough for ten people to sit around. She and Bai Jin sat on each side, and they had to stretch their arms to touch each other's fingertips.

"I have to choose carefully next time." White Wolf said regretfully.

Bai Jin didn't think so. She stood up and moved to Bai Lang's side. "It doesn't matter."

"Okay." Bai Lang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that he was not smart enough. "In that case, let's order some food."

"Come here." Bai Jin picked up the phone and pretended to be an internet addict.

Bai Lang picked up the menu and took a look at it, suddenly remembering that every time she went to a regular restaurant to dine, it was others who ordered the dishes and she was only responsible for eating. Wouldn't it be terrible if she ordered something that no one liked?

She looked a little embarrassed: "You should do it. I, I am not very good at it."

"You don't even know this? Just order whatever you want to eat." Bai Jin was incredulous.

White Wolf curled his lips: "If I knew what I wanted to eat, I would have ordered it directly."

Bai Jin picked up the menu and wanted to show off a little, but she suddenly suffered from decision-making difficulties. She hesitated for a long time and finally told Bai Lang quietly that she didn't understand these things either.

So, Miss White Wolf, who was in high spirits again, took control of the situation. She suggested trying something new, specifically things that neither of them had ever eaten. The proposal was passed unconditionally, and they lay on the table for a long time studying it, and finally ordered a bunch of strange dishes.

Half an hour later, the meal was served. When Bailang looked at the strange food in front of her, not knowing where to start, Baijin kindly helped her add a spoonful of spicy salad.

"It's delicious." Her big eyes were full of sincerity.

Under this earnest gaze, Bai Lang suddenly recalled the days when the two of them lived with Furong. At that time, Miss Bai Jin especially liked to play tricks at the dinner table.

I don't believe you, she thought, but she ate it anyway and launched her own attack, recommending even stranger-tasting food to Bai Jin.

However, there is an essential difference between the cooking skills of the hotel chef and Miss Furong. Although the food tastes strange, the more you eat, the more you feel that it tastes good. Every dish gives people a little surprise at the end.

Their games gradually evolved into normal recommended dishes, just like two good sisters with a close relationship.

During the meal, the two talked about their experiences, but they were both worried that their own affairs would cause trouble for the other person. Out of respect for their friend's secrets, they tacitly focused on unimportant things, so that both of them felt that the other person had a kind of attractive mystery.

Bailang excitedly told Baijin about how she disguised herself as a noble during the Ursus operation. Now, looking back on the past, she was pleasantly surprised to find that no one had discovered any flaws in her the whole time. She felt that she had a talent as an actor, but that was not enough. She wanted to get recognition from her friend, so she couldn't help but ask Baijin about this topic.

"If Miss White Wolf were to make a movie, I wonder how many people would be charmed by her."

"I'm not asking you to say that." Bai Lang's face turned slightly red. "I'm talking about my acting skills. Don't you think I acted very well? That was my first time pretending to be a noble."

Bai Jin held his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems so. I remember when I first saw you, I thought I met a noble in disguise."

This was not what Bai Lang wanted to hear. She shook her head and said, "No way, you must have remembered it wrongly."

"No, this was also related to the fact that I chose to act with you at that time."

"This is so strange." Bailang scratched her head. She felt that Baijin didn't seem to be joking.

"It's a bit strange." Bai Jin narrowed his eyes and fell into reminiscence, "I don't know why I think so, anyway, I think you are very suitable to pretend to be a noble."

"This is my specialty, proving that I have a talent as an actor." Bai Lang boasted in summary.

Volume 3: Chapter 74: Morning at the Guards Bureau

The next morning, Bai Lang got up before dawn. She washed herself carefully in front of the mirror, then went out, turned right and came to the door of Bai Jin's room. She stopped and listened for a while. There was no sound in the room, so the person who was sleeping should not have woken up yet.

This was within her expectations. The two of them chatted until late last night. Bai Jin was unlikely to get up early, and she didn't intend to disturb him. She took out her phone to leave a message and hurried downstairs.

Her schedule for today was already full: she would first go to the Guard Bureau to find Officer Chen to clarify the situation, then go to Longmen's construction contractor, then take a detour to meet with engineer Xuezhi, and finally return to the hospital, say goodbye to Miss Lin, and go to Rhodes Island with Bai Jin.

White Wolf hurried to the hospital entrance, hoping to wait for an early taxi. It was already dawn, and she noticed that there was a layer of frost on the holly leaves on the roadside.

I have to buy some thick clothes to prepare for the winter, she thought as she touched the bank card in her pocket. Don't get me wrong, Bailang doesn't have much money now, and this card is the one that Baijin gave her yesterday.

She took the card in her hand and examined it. It was a very beautiful card. The main color was white. On the back was a large grey knight collar pattern. In the lower left corner was a sword and a shield. Bai Jin had told her before that the sword and shield symbolized the victory and protection of the knight. She turned to the front and saw a line of conspicuous gilded fonts in the center. This meant the business alliance.

A taxi stopped in front of the distracted White Wolf. The driver rolled down the window and asked, shrinking his neck because of the cold, "Miss, do you want to take a taxi?"

Bai Lang nodded, and the driver gestured for her to sit in the back, then quickly closed the car window.

"Go to the Guard Bureau." Bailang fastened his seat belt and said to the driver.

"okay."

There were few pedestrians on the avenue in the early morning and traffic was unobstructed. The taxi arrived at the entrance of the Guard Bureau in just half an hour. Under normal circumstances, it would take an hour to walk this road. Bai Lang had reason to suspect that Miss Lin was deliberately distancing herself from the Guard Bureau.

After paying with her card, she got off the car, bathed in the rising sun with its chilly warmth, and went alone to a stall near the Guard Bureau to eat breakfast.

There is no such profession as urban management in Longmen. This city is a paradise for small vendors. They set up their businesses next to the Guard Bureau. Passing policemen will also stop by to have breakfast and do some shopping. Everywhere is full of life.

Bailang was sitting alone on a high stool in the breakfast shop, drinking soy milk with a straw, when he suddenly saw Officer Xingxiong riding an electric bike towards him from a distance, with a bun hanging on the handlebars. It seemed that he was going to work at the Guard Bureau.

"Xing Sir." She shouted happily, then held her soy milk cup, left the breakfast shop, and ran to Xingxiong.

"Hey, Miss White Wolf, why are you here?" When Xingxiong saw White Wolf, he put one foot on the ground and stopped the electric bike.

"I came to see Officer Chen. I was afraid I'd arrive too early, so I ate breakfast outside the Guard Bureau, hoping to see if I could wait for her." After Bai Lang finished speaking, he sipped a sip of hot soy milk.

"We can't wait. Old Chen must have already arrived at the Guard Bureau. She's a workaholic." Xingxiong waved her hands and said depressedly. She got off the electric bike, pushed it instead, and walked to the Guard Bureau with Bailang.

"Isn't this a good idea?" Bai Lang asked curiously. She didn't quite understand Xing Xiong's expression.

"You don't understand." Xingxiong looked around and saw that there were no people around, so he bent down and whispered, "She always comes so early, and I feel very stressed every day."

After hearing this, Bailang burst out laughing. She was glad that she was not drinking soy milk when she heard Xingxiong say this, otherwise she would have choked.

She imitated Xingxiong and whispered, "I understand. I understand it best. Slacking off is life."

"I didn't say that." Xingxiong looked around nervously, and after a while, he muttered to himself, "It seems that this is the truth."

The two men walked into the gate of the Guard Bureau. Xingxiong showed Bailang the way and went to lock the electric bike alone.

Do you still need to lock your car in this place? Puzzled, Bai Lang walked towards Officer Chen's office. The closer she got, the more uneasy she became. She didn't know if Officer Chen had come to terms with the bad news.

In the office, a pair of delicate dragon horns poked out from behind a mountain of documents. Bai Lang guessed that the person sitting there should be Officer Chen. She didn't expect that Officer Chen would be so focused and concentrated when working.

In fact, Chen Huijie had already heard someone coming in. At this time, she thought the person was Xingxiong, so she continued to work. Generally speaking, Xingxiong would greet her casually at this time.

But the visitor did not say hello and came closer. She looked up in confusion and saw Miss White Wolf walking towards her.

"Hello, Officer Chen." Bai Lang waved. She didn't see any special emotions on Chen Huijie's face.

"You are here for company matters, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Chen Huijie took out a document from the drawer: "This is the contractor's agreement. I've read it. It's a formal document. Take a look at it. If there's no problem, you can sign it. Then give them the Rhode Island permit document. If you trust me, you can also connect with me."

"Then I'll trouble you, Officer Chen." Bai Lang said happily. She took out the authorization letter from Rhodes Island from the folder she carried with her, handed it to Chen Huijie, then glanced at the agreement casually and signed it directly.

She had no fear of falling into any business trap. Although Officer Chen was the person she feared the most for a period of time, after having a frank conversation with him, she developed a mysterious trust in the senior superintendent.

She sometimes suspected that Texas' attitude toward Officer Chen had influenced her.

Chen Huijie didn't expect that Bai Lang would trust her so much and directly hand over important matters to her to handle. She was just saying it casually.

This attitude once again reminded her of her sister. Perhaps, Tallulah had often mentioned herself to Miss White Wolf in the past, so the other party trusted her so much. While she felt sad, she was more grateful to White Wolf.

In fact, after learning of Talullah's death, she immediately investigated the matter of Duke Kosciuszko. The relevant information was no longer a secret in Ursus: Kosciuszko died at the hands of Talullah, and the empire was issuing an order for Talullah's arrest.

As an experienced police inspector, Chen Huijie easily saw through the inside story. The 'Tallulah' who killed Kocice was Miss White Wolf. Since the other party could get rid of Scareye, then killing Kocice for revenge for Tallulah would certainly be a piece of cake. The fact that she was wanted by the empire also further explained Shi Huaiya's question: why did White Wolf disguise himself as Olivia when he came to Longmen.

Chen Huijie had no intention of going to Miss Bailang to verify what she had guessed. She was a senior police superintendent in Longmen, not an ignorant child. Some things did not need to be expressed in words.
