About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

"...?"

"...!!"

These few short lines made the expression on Wei Yanwu's face very interesting.

28. Female tourist C and the white-haired biting dog

"Officer Chen, where are we going?"

Because of the previous misunderstanding, Chen and Shi Huaiya did not reminisce at Lin Yuxia's house as originally planned. Just as they had said in the previous cross-server conversation, Chen Huijie planned to quickly complete the "procedures" to prevent Wei Yanwu from doing anything weird to him later.

Although Chen now wanted to rush to the Guard Bureau immediately to tear the tendons and skin off the self-righteous old dragon who always seemed to have planned everything so that he could see what Nezha was really like, but Chen was also surprised that "Wei Yanwu would actually make such a low-level mistake."

"It's a logistics company in Longmen, Fengchi Logistics. First, I need to find you an identity that allows you to freely enter and exit the Longmen Guard Bureau without arousing suspicion. A deliveryman from Fengchi Logistics, who has a business partnership with the Guard Bureau, is a good choice."

As Chen explained, he dragged Orson to a building that was more magnificent than the Penguin Logistics office in terms of both area and decoration.

"Logistics company? I just became a new employee at Penguin Logistics."

Orson was a little curious about what Chen meant by "giving up the near to seek the far".

"Haha... First of all, Penguin Logistics is generally only responsible for transporting and escorting goods. They won't take on door-to-door document delivery tasks. But Fengchi Logistics is different. As long as you wear your ID card on your chest and pretend to hold a file bag in your hand, most people won't doubt your identity. You need to learn the working methods of Fengchi Logistics' delivery staff, but most importantly, remember to be flexible."

"I'm good at this, don't worry."

Orson nodded confidently. After all, he had dressed as a woman and his life was ruined. Pretending to be a courier was not difficult at all.

"Hmm... I don't know where your confidence comes from, but it's good to be confident. Moving on to the second point: Secret agents should keep a low profile in their daily operations. Do you think anyone at Penguin Logistics qualifies as 'low-key'?"

“Ugh…”

Orson was speechless. He had personally experienced the exciting daily work of Penguin Logistics several times, and it was indeed far from low-key.

"So you'd better stay away from that group of people, otherwise even I will arrest you for violating public order."

"That's a bit of an abuse of power..."

Orsen complained in a low voice. It was obvious that Chen Ping had a lot of friction with the girls at Penguin Logistics, and he felt very unhappy about joining Penguin Logistics.

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the human resources department of Fengchi Logistics. Chen showed his police badge ID card and found an office worker who looked like he was from the management department.

"Hello, I'm Senior Superintendent Chen Huijie of the Longmen Guards. I'm currently on a mission, so please don't tell anyone. I'd also like to ask for your time to help me get a certificate."

Chen skillfully and efficiently stated his identity and purpose, while asking the other party to remain silent.

"Apply for a certificate, eh? What certificate?"

The manager was stunned.

"Fengchi Logistics' Guardian Delivery Driver Certificate—could it be a marriage certificate?"

"Wow wow wow I I I know...!"

The executive was startled by Chen and immediately ran to the computer and started typing instructions.

Orson didn't dare to say anything. It seemed that the misunderstanding that Chen had caused at Lin Yuxia's house before was not so easy to pretend as nothing happened.

Not long after, a card that looked similar to the ID card hanging on Chen's chest was produced. Chen took the card, looked at it, and handed it to Orson after confirming that there was no problem.

"That's it. Remember to put it away. As for when to go to the Guard Bureau and which targets to focus on, I'll discuss this with you in detail next time we meet."

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will express my gratitude to Mr. Owell later."

Chen nodded to the executive and followed Orson out of Fengchi Logistics.

The only thing worth mentioning on the way was that Orson met a young man from the Fengti tribe who was about the same height as him. However, the same problem still existed - if the pair of horns on his head were counted, Orson still lost.

——It would be great if I wasn’t a Chimera. Even if I were an Ursus, those ears would be... Ursus?

Orson, who was complaining secretly, suddenly thought of something. He suddenly froze in place and reached out to gently stroke his head.

It was obvious that there was nothing on it, but Orson always vaguely felt that there should be "something".

"Why are you touching your head all of a sudden?"

Chen noticed Orson's unusual behavior and asked curiously.

"Well, nothing much."

Orson smiled awkwardly, feeling that he had been inexplicably having some déjà vu feelings recently.

I'll ask Dr. Kal'tsit to check it out next time I get a chance.

Orson planned to ask the all-knowing Lynx Cat later to see if there was something wrong with his memory. When Orson came to his senses, he found that Chen had been looking at him.

"Officer Chen?"

"The documents have been processed for now. Come to think of it, I feel like I've been bothering you these past few days. I said I'd treat you, but it ended up like this because of that guy Xingxiong... ahem."

Whenever Chen thought about how Xingxiong tricked him into sleeping with Orson in his arms a few days ago, his horns would feel slightly hot.

He even laughed at Wei Yanwu. His actions alone could make his blood pressure spike. Fortunately, the person involved was Orsen, a fool who had no ill intentions and even helped him clean up, so no more serious consequences occurred.

But on the other hand, perhaps it is precisely because I vaguely know that Orson is such a person that I behave like this?

Chen began to think about the essential questions of philosophy, and after a few seconds he shook his head violently and returned to reality.

"Anyway, let me thank you today. I'm not sure what the formal way to express gratitude is, but at least I can treat you to a proper lunch."

Chen looked at Orson, and after saying this, the expression on his face was finally not as serious as before.

"No need, Officer Chen."

"It's not up to you, choose one for me!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!?"

Chen Huijie, who usually uses violent law enforcement, made Orson accept his kindness with just one sentence.

Orson never dreamed that there would be a day when he would be forced by a cute policewoman to treat him to a meal.

"Will we be caught like before? Based on what was reported in the newspaper last time, I think Tallulah will drive straight to us in her car..."

Orson asked worriedly, while Chen shook his head.

"Don't worry, I came prepared this time."

"?"

Chen shook his hair confidently, signaling Orson to wait here for a while, and then he went into a nearby clothing store.

"How about it?"

Not long after, Chen walked out of the clothing store, but this time she was no longer wearing her usual outfit of a dark jacket, shorts, white shirt and tie. Instead, she wore only a dark, cool vest that was as revealing as a swimsuit on her upper body. She had a sun hat on her head, a pair of sunglasses, and her shoulder-length blue hair was tied together.

"……Well"

Orson didn't know what to say for a moment. Could it be that Officer Chen was the legendary "There is a beach in your heart, and Xiosta is everywhere"?

"This is useless no matter how you look at it, Officer Chen!?"

Orson finally couldn't help but complain.

"Don't call me that. I'm [Female Tourist C] now."

"..."

Chen explained seriously and pushed up his sunglasses.

"Mom, mom, is that Officer Chen over there?"

"Silly child, how could Officer Chen be dressed like that? It's all fake."

"I see!"

——Is this even possible?

A mother and daughter happened to be passing by, and Orson was stunned by their conversation. If Superman worked here, he probably wouldn't even need to take off his glasses when he transformed.

"That's it anyway. Don't worry about my problems. Just make your choice at your own pace."

Female tourist C gestured to Orson to choose a restaurant so that she could treat him, and at the same time she was glad that she had chosen a pair of sunglasses that were big enough to cover her hot cheeks.

After all, this disguise is good in every way, but the only problem is that I feel extremely embarrassed...

"Then I won't refuse anymore. Let's go with this one."

Orson nodded and without much hesitation chose a home-style stir-fry restaurant that looked very ordinary.

"Well, it's okay if you pick something more expensive. I suppose I'm richer than you think."

Chen thought that Orson was worried about funding issues so he chose the cheapest one.

——I always feel like there are so many rich women around me...

When Orson came to his senses and found himself surrounded by rich women, he complained in his heart.

"Home-style restaurants are great because I can learn the seasoning ratios and what condiments they use when cooking. Maybe I can learn more about them later. If it's a high-end restaurant, the ingredients alone would be enough to discourage me..."

Orson thought back to the outrageous things he had seen on menus when he dined with various wealthy women.

Orson was too lazy to learn how to make dishes like [Saint Kjerag's Glacier Lemonade], [Sargon's Jungle Roasted Sandworm Legs], and [Latlan's Glittering Golden Smile] just by hearing their names.

It’s not impossible to follow suit and make a dessert like the [Northern Froststorm McFlurry]?

Forget it. If I ask Frost Star to make an ice maker, I’ll be tricked into bed again and hug my hand warmer and catch a fever and a cold.

"I feel like you're more of a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko than even Madam Fumitsuki... Never mind, as long as you think it's okay."

Chen sighed. What he should be careful about now is not the relationship and distance between him and Orson, but he should be careful not to be turned into a useless person by this guy.

I'm afraid my sister Tallulah has become half-waste. How enviable... and how sad.

Although the disguise of "Female Tourist C" was outrageous, it was effective, and the two of them easily entered the family restaurant.

Orson stared at the dishes on the menu that he hadn't eaten in almost his entire life, and tears of bliss flowed down the corners of his mouth.

After ordering a few dishes, the two began to chat while waiting.

The topic had nothing to do with work. Chen just asked about trivial matters like how Orsen and Lin Yuxia got along, and whether he had adapted to Longmen after coming to Longmen.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, providing just the right amount of warmth. Chen Huijie, a seemingly tireless workaholic who always made the most of every second, slowed down his pace and joined the young man before him in enjoying Longmen's quiet lunch break.

How did this boy end up with Tallulah? And to what extent did their relationship progress?

Chen was thinking about the experience of the boy in front of her, and suddenly she realized that it had been a long time since she had thought so seriously about someone other than the suspect in her mind.

It always feels very relaxed and comfortable when you are with this young man. It seems that he has some kind of "wavelength" that can calm people down.

The only drawback is that I have to keep this guy pressed into the chair from time to time, otherwise he might force another waiter out of work.

I should find more opportunities to spend time with Orson occasionally—no, no, what am I thinking!? He's Tallulah's boyfriend!

Chen, vaguely aware that his thoughts had slipped, immediately stood up and patted his cheeks.

"Miss C?"

Orson, who was sitting opposite, blinked his eyes, not knowing why Chen suddenly stood up and rubbed his cheeks, so he asked with concern.

"……fine."

——Really, why am I panicking?

Chen sighed and sat back in his chair.

I'm not Tallulah, and I don't know how Orson and Tallulah got together. So, I should just follow Chen Huijie's own pace and get along with this young man.

Chen calmed down and prepared to continue chatting with Orson.

“Ding ding ding ding!!!”

But at this moment, the walkie-talkie in Chen's pocket made a shrill beeping sound. Chen frowned when he heard the alarm and immediately put it to his ear.

"All members of the Imperial Guard on standby, there has been an Infected riot in the slums of Area 23. Suppress it immediately! I repeat, there has been an Infected riot, suppress it immediately!"

Orson heard the content on the intercom through his passive tuning ability.

"...Orson, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to deal with."

"I know, please be careful."

Chen nodded to Orson, then took out his Guard ID card and the familiar work/combat jacket from his bag and put them on as he left.

After confirming that Chen had left, Orson also stood up.
