About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Upon hearing these words, Wei Yanwu widened his eyes, then nodded, and then calmly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

——So the “best candidate” doesn’t refer to a marriage partner!?

On the other side, Orson followed Wei Yanwu's "instructions" in some confusion and came to a mansion.

In order to obtain information about the Sicilian Gang for revenge, and to examine his relationship with Chen Huijie, Orson accepted Wei Yanwu's mission, but the content of the mission was -

[Spend a day with the Rat King's daughter, Lin Yuxia]

To be honest, Orson really had no idea what Wei Yanwu was thinking this time.

26. Cute Little Mouse Lin Yuxia (6K chapters)

Wei Yanwu's idea was actually very simple. If Chen chose Orson as his "best candidate", then all he had to do was show the boy's most unbearable and worst side, and then use certain means to let Chen Huijie see it. In this way, he would naturally be able to prevent Chen and the boy named Orson from developing further without bloodshed.

In order to achieve this goal, Wei Yanwu, the chess player of Longmen, had already thought of the next step and immediately laid out a trick.

I believe that those who are familiar with the military tactics of the Yan State should be very clear about the military tactics chosen by Wei Yanwu - it is the famous beauty trap!

Wei Yanwu is convinced that no matter how "sanctimonious" a person is, he will be tempted by "money", "beauty" and "power".

And there happened to be such a girl by his side. Not only did she meet all three of these requirements, but she was also one of the few people he could trust.

Wei Yanwu believed in this girl; she could easily complete the task he had entrusted her with, completely exposing the hypocritical facade of Orsen, who coveted Chen Huijie. In the process, she could also use her proud and perfect personality to completely crush the poor boy's self-esteem.

And this girl is none other than Lin Yuxia, the daughter of Lin Gerui, the slum manager known as the "Rat King", with whom he had a life-and-death friendship.

Of course, when Chen returned to his office and said that he had found Orson as the candidate for the "secret agent", ordinary citizen Mr. Wei finally realized that he seemed to have messed up.

But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that he has not yet realized how badly his actions can destroy the whole thing.

——A mansion somewhere in the center of Longmen City——

"..."

"Hello again, Miss Lin."

In front of the luxurious villa, Orson smiled and waved to Lin Yuxia outside the iron gate, while Lin Yuxia stared at Orson motionlessly, her small eyes revealing full of confusion and puzzlement.

He had just received a call from Uncle Wei Yanwu a few minutes ago, saying that a "hypocritical guy with ill intentions towards Huijie" would come to see him next, and all he had to do was to completely tear off this person's disguise and expose all of his hidden evil intentions.

Lin Yuxia has seen many people like this, whether in school during her student days or among the half-baked "aristocrats" she met in her daily life. There were countless scumbags who wore flattering masks on their faces and coveted the money and status in her hands.

All I have to do is completely crush the insignificant self-esteem of these guys who mistakenly think they are innocent rich second-generation princesses -

This is how it should be, but why is the person who came here the boy from before?!

At this moment, a thousand mice were whistling in Lin Yuxia's heart, but she still had to try her best to maintain the cold expression on her face.

Orsen was Chen Huijie's intended lover? And she was the one who took the initiative and insisted on it?

Combined with the information Wei Yanwu had provided her earlier, Lin Yuxia was completely bewildered. First, she couldn't imagine that Chen Huijie would actually take the initiative to designate someone as her "fiancé." Then, she couldn't imagine that this young man who called himself "Penguin Logistics Trainee" had actually pursued Chen without her knowing.

But the most important thing is... in front of this young man, he simply couldn't act like usual, naturally putting on a cold and aloof attitude, and using plain but sharp words to refute others and leave them speechless.

Lin Yuxia didn't need to close her eyes to recall the embarrassing cries she made along the way and her embarrassing behavior of curling up into a ball when she was being chased by that group of inexplicable guys.

The more Lin Yuxia thought about it, the more confused her mind became, and the more confused her mind became, the more confused she became.

Finally, after Lin Yuxia stared at Orson motionlessly through the iron fence for a few minutes, the girl with round ears on her head finally gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and let Orson in.

——What on earth are you doing, Uncle Wei Yanwu...!

——What exactly is Wei Yanwu planning?

Orson and Lin Yuxia thought of the same person at the same time, and both couldn't understand his behavior.

As for the person involved, he was staring at his phone in the office with cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at the Rat King's phone on the screen, and occasionally glanced at Mrs. Wen Yue who was still reading today's newspaper beside him.

Should I call Lin Yuxia now to tell her it was all a misunderstanding? The smart wife would immediately realize that I was "interfering" with Chen Huijie's personal wishes. By then, I wouldn't say I'd be ruined, but at least I'd be kneeling on the washboard...

Over there, the "ruler of Longmen" was in a state of panic because of his own mysterious operations, and on the other side, Lin Yuxia had no choice but to bite the bullet because of Wei Yanwu's involvement.

"Although I saw the general outline from the outside last time, it was only after I came in that I realized that your home is really luxuriously decorated, Miss Lin."

In the villa where Lin Yuxia lived, Orson followed Lin Yuxia to the reception room while observing the surrounding environment.

Orsen has seen many luxurious big houses, but unlike Zaolu's house which is huge and spacious but decorated in a slightly "wild" style, Lin Yuxia's residence does not cover such an outrageous area, but the interior decoration can be seen to be as exquisite and sophisticated as the clothes she wears.

Of course, if we talk about the "most spacious" house in terms of physical feeling, it must be Maria's ancestral Linguang Mansion - after all, 80% of the furniture in it was sold at that time, and the house was so cool.

"Please take a seat."

After arriving at the reception room, Lin Yuxia invited Orson to sit on a chair and brewed two cups of green tea and placed them on the table.

"..."

"..."

Then, the two of them held their teacups and started staring at each other.

Orson had no idea what to say at this point. In the final analysis, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out any causal relationship between "becoming a secret agent of the Guards" and "spending a day with Lin Yuxia".

As for Lin Yuxia, she is even more conflicted. She is currently still at the stage of convincing herself that "the young man in front of her is Chen Huijie's fiancé."

Lin Yuxia and Chen could barely be considered "friends", or in other words, when they were still young, Lin Yuxia had always been a good playmate for Chen.

But after Chen left Longmen and returned from training at the Royal Guard Academy, their relationship was no longer as close.

Even so, Lin Yuxia knew Chen Huijie quite well. She didn't believe that the workaholic police superintendent would get engaged to a 160cm tall boy who had just arrived in Longmen less than two weeks ago without her having heard anything about it.

Maybe Wei Yanwu misunderstood something here?

"Ms. Lin, have you encountered any other attacks since that incident?"

After a brief period of awkward silence, Orson was the first to ask Lin Yuxia whether she had been attacked by the mafia later.

"That time... well, no more. I've increased my guard, but I haven't encountered anything strange recently."

When Lin Yuxia mentioned the day she was being hunted, she recalled her embarrassing reaction. For Lin Yuxia, who is usually considered "silent and serious", what happened that day can almost be regarded as a lifetime black history.

"That's good. If you need any help, please come back to Penguin Logistics."

"Your service style makes it difficult for people to become repeat customers..."

Lin Yuxia complained softly, and her tail slammed on the chair, implicitly expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.

"Anyway, you're probably following someone's instructions, so you're here, right?"

"Yes, Commander Wei Yanwu told me to come here, although I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to do."

Orson did not hide anything and honestly told the story that he was tricked by Wei Laoer.

"In that case, please wait for me for a moment."

After hearing Wei Yanwu's name from Orson, Lin Yuxia could only be sure that Orson was the person Wei Yanwu was talking about, and it was not a misunderstanding.

Instead of thinking about how Orson got involved with Chen, Lin Yuxia should do the same thing as before - use her own "disguise" and "design" to completely remove the mask of the young man in the room.

Lin Yuxia got up and walked into a study, and took out several "contracts" from the drawer.

This is not the first time he has done this, using carefully designed "trials" to expose the true intentions of those who actively or passively approach him.

The last time, also in the reception room, a young man who had been following him since high school said with certainty that what he liked was not power or money, but the existence of the girl 'Lin Yuxia'.

But in the end, the young man didn't even manage to keep up his disguise for a single round before his ugly and greedy face was completely exposed.

Like Chen Huijie, Lin Yuxia also has many followers in Longmen, but all of these followers emerged after she graduated from high school.

Before high school, Lin Yuxia's life was no different from that of most people. At that time, she had not yet realized that her father was the "Rat King", the one who could influence the direction of Longmen's progress with just one word.

At that time, Lin Yuxia didn’t have many friends. Chen Huijie was one of them, and Shi Huaiya was also one of them.

But after high school, Lin Yuxia's life changed dramatically. She learned about her father's other side, hiding behind the image of a "retired old man taking a walk." The Rat King no longer hid the truth and gave Lin Yuxia everything he could - food, clothing, shelter, and even some control over the Dragon Gate.

After that day, Lin Yuxia's life changed a lot, not only in terms of material things, but also in terms of personality.

After experiencing the initial ignorant and unforgettable "betrayal", she almost never smiled at others again, and eventually became known as the "arrogant daughter of the Rat King" by others.

Of course, she was later shocked by Orson and Texas's amazing racing skills, and then she got angry because she completely failed to let Orson see her from a "girl's" perspective.

——Anyway, no matter what kind of relationship you have with Chen Huijie, let me see the "truth" hidden behind that good-natured expression.

Lin Yuxia returned to the living room with a cold expression, holding the documents she had taken out of the study.

"Mr. Orson, I have something to announce to you. Please—hey, what are you doing!?"

Lin Yuxia's stoic expression barely lasted a second before it faltered. She had only gone to the study to retrieve a document when she returned to find Orsen crouched in a corner, wearing an apron and a mask, rag in hand. Beside him stood several of her servants, all of them intently nodding and taking notes.

"Well, the dust in the corners is hard to conquer with a broom and mop, especially in a room with so many decorations. At this time, all you need to do is—um, Miss Lin, are you back?"

Noticing Lin Yuxia returning to the room, Orson stood up and greeted her.

"…What are you doing?"

"Uh, should I call it an occupational disease... The moment I see a mansion, I want to clean it."

Orson ruffled his hair and said that maybe old habits die hard.

Initially, Alina and I were responsible for most of the cleaning at the North Territory camp (occasionally, we'd drag Junjun over to cover for us when we were lazy). After that, he'd been helping Zaolu with housework since leaving Che City, and cleaning Maria's room when he returned to Casimir. So, upon seeing Lin Yuxia's room, Orson felt like a muscle instinct had been triggered.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Orson is really attentive and efficient!" "Yes, yes!" "It's worth learning from!"

The servants all praised the spirit of Master Craftsman Deacon Orson.

"...You guys go out first, Orson, sit back down."

Lin Yuxia endured the blue veins on her forehead and sent everyone away. Then she told Orson not to worry about cleaning and to come over quickly.

"Okay, Miss Lin. Also, I noticed that there are always some peanuts scattered in some corners of the room. This is your way of storing food—"

"No way! I'm not a hamster!"

Lin Yuxia retorted loudly with a red face, and the "indifferent mask" that she had just maintained after a long time of ideological work was shattered at the touch.

Lin Yuxia almost half-forced Orson back to the coffee table in the reception room and placed several documents in her arms on it.

"Orson—Mr. Orson, I understand you have some questions about why you are here, so let me—"

"Are you okay, Miss Lin? You seem a little strange. Do you want me to check you out? As a breeder, I have a veterinarian—"

"Just listen to me and don't interrupt me! And what the hell is a veterinarian?"

"Okay, okay..."

I don’t know why, but it seems that I have completely pissed off Lin Yuxia. Orson could only sit upright and wait for Lin Yuxia to finish her words.

"call……"

Lin Yuxia took a deep breath to control her emotions, and at the same time thought about why she had lost her composure today.

In fact, Lin Yuxia was also very clear about the reason, because this boy had always been communicating with her on an "equal" footing.

After learning of her identity as the "Rat King's Daughter" in high school, Lin Yuxia's life almost completely turned upside down. The students who used to bully her now wanted to be her slaves, and at lunchtime, the empty tables around her were now crowded with people.

People of different genders, grades, and purposes approached him one after another, but none of them ever thought of "raising their heads" from beginning to end.

They didn't want to talk to him, but were begging for alms, praying that he, the "noble" whom they could never reach, would show them favor.

In such an environment, let alone cursing, Lin Yuxia hasn't even heard anyone complain or blame her for many years. All she hears are the same old praises and flattery.

Amidst these suffocating sounds and sights, the teenager would seriously tell himself "Don't litter at home."

Recalling the day when Orson helped her deal with her high heels and never even looked at her, Lin Yuxia was a little shaken.

If, if even such a person is actually just a disguised "person with ulterior motives", then will one's life be forever surrounded by hypocrisy?

Lin Yuxia paused for a moment, but finally decided to continue with the original pace and "test" Orson.

"Mr. Orson, please allow me to sincerely congratulate you. You have been under our observation for some time, and after evaluation, we believe that you are qualified to take over the governance of Districts 23-25. We invited you here today to inform you of this matter. Please choose the one you prefer from these governance contracts and sign your name to take over the governance."

Lin Yuxia spoke seriously, without any emotion in her words, and pointed to the three-point contract documents on the table.

Although Orson wanted to say that Lin Yuxia was cute when she pretended to be serious, if he really said that, he would probably unlock a new CG of "being bitten by a mouse".

23~25 is the slum area. Orson picked up a few documents on the table and frowned when he saw the contents on them.

In the first contract, the manager will use certain methods to "clean up" the infected people in the area, then forcibly expand the wall to divide it, and then transform the area into a heavy processing plant that can make money.

In the second contract, the manager will maintain the distribution of the slums, but will begin to collect taxes from infected people in the area in exchange for the right to reside.

In the third contract, the manager will sell the "management rights" and exchange them for Longmen coins worth approximately eight digits.

"Please make your choice, Mr. Orson."
