About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

The short beep in her pocket brought Chen back to her senses, but she ultimately didn't initiate the kiss.

Step one, done.

82. Plans cannot keep up with changes

——I got the key...

It was like a dream. When Chen came to his senses, he noticed that he had already left the dance floor and the electronic access card had been copied.

Everything that happened before was really hard for Chen Huijie to believe. She even had a hard time remembering what happened.

Orson took him to the dance floor, and they both started out awkwardly twisting their bodies, but in the end they were able to coordinate perfectly and dance together until the end of the music.

At the last moment, if the machine hadn't prompted me, I'm afraid I would have accidentally kissed her...

Thinking of this, Chen's face turned red. She immediately shook her head, trying to calm herself down by simulating Chi Xiao's swordsmanship in her mind.

On the other side, Orson, who was trapped in a corner by Tallulah with nowhere to escape, also indirectly confirmed that the dance with Chen Huijie just now was not a fantasy of Policeman Long.

"You dance quite well, Orson. It seems like you've been secretly learning to dance behind my back a lot, right?"

Tallulah asked Orson with a smile, and the scales on her tail stood up because of the fur.

She had imagined Orson dancing gracefully in the middle of the dance floor, but the only problem was that the protagonist was not herself in her fantasy, but her own stupid self.

“This is my first time, Tallulah…!”

Orson explained in a panic, but it was obvious that Tallulah didn't buy it.

"So, how do you feel about giving your first time to my sister?"

"Wow wow wow..."

In this mode, Tallulah was no longer able to have a normal conversation, so Orson had no choice but to look to Lin Yuxia for help, hoping that this noble lady could stop Tallulah, or at least leave him with a complete corpse at 0 maturity.

"……snort"

Contrary to expectations, after meeting Orson's eyes, Lin Yuxia snorted softly, then turned her head away and stopped looking at Orson, and her tail flapped down impatiently, expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.

It can be seen that Orson's initiative to invite Chen Huijie to dance angered Fire Dragon and Little Mouse at once. After all, from their perspective, Orson's behavior was not much different from "declaring sovereignty" in Mou Zong's sense.

As for Orson himself, he had never thought about these things at all. The reason why he chose to dance with Chen Huijie was simply because he "did not want Tallulah and Lin Yuxia to be involved in this mission."

Of course, what actually made him take action was the moment he saw Chen looking a little lost but unwilling to show his slightly lonely expression.

However, judging from the reactions of Tallulah and the others, Orson now regrets his previous decision. If he could turn back time, Orson would definitely make a better choice this time.

——That’s right, based on Orson’s sensitivity to love, he would suggest that Lin Yuxia take Chen Huijie and Tallulah to dance together, while he would take pictures and cheer them on.

"You danced well just now, Orson! And I didn't expect that Powdered Dragon to cooperate with you so well. Could it be that you two are really together?"

"Uh, Officer Shi?"

To make matters worse, Shi Huaiya, who had not paid attention to this place before, saw the scene of Orson and Chen Huijie dancing after the commotion just now, and came over with interest.

"It's 'Officer Shi Huaiya', not Officer Shi—huh? You, a top student, are attending the party too? How bizarre! And this guy over here…"

Shi Huaiya widened her eyes when she saw the little mouse. Like Chen Huijie, she was surprised that Lin Yuxia, the "socially problematic mouse", would take the initiative to attend a dinner of this scale.

Then Shi Huaiya noticed Tallulah beside Lin Yuxia. After seeing Shi Huaiya, Tallulah put on sunglasses and a camouflaged hat, so Shi Huaiya just stared at her for a few seconds.

"Please call me Tariana, Miss Shi Huaiya."

Tallulah made up a name to fool people. She had some impression of Shi Huaiya, Chen Huijie's "childhood playmate", but now was not the time to rekindle the friendship. After all, Orson and his sister were also carrying out a mission that seemed a bit dangerous, so it would be better not to cause trouble.

Tallulah thought so, and at the same time, she made a conflicted decision to temporarily walk away from Orson in order to avoid suspicion.

However, before Tallulah took a few steps, Shi Huaiya's words reached her ears.

"Hello, Miss Tariana—Orson, could it be that those rumors are actually true? Judging from the look on that Pink Intestine Dragon guy, maybe you two really have a chance?"

"No, no, no, this must be a rumor, Officer Shi...!"

The murderous aura behind him was visibly approaching, and Orson quickly tried to clarify with Shi Huaiya that there was no strange relationship between him and Chen Huijie.

"Hehehe, most people would say things like 'it's just a rumor' or 'we're just friends', but you and I both know how much of that is true. Now, tell me about it, Orson? After all, we were partners for a while, right~?"

Shi Huaiya showed a gossipy smile and came close to Orsen and asked in a low voice. At this time, the little tiger did not look like the heir of Shi Huaiya's family at all. Instead, he looked like a gossipy auntie that could be seen everywhere in Chaoyang District.

"Now is not the time to talk about this..."

Orson, who was entangled by Shi Huaiya, instantly had his hair stand on end, because he clearly felt that Tallulah, who was about to leave, came back again, and Lin Yuxia also raised her pink ears completely.

Orson tried desperately to convey the message "Don't talk about this now" to Shi Huaiya in various ways. He believed that he and Shi Huaiya had experienced a bond of life and death, and the other party would definitely be able to understand what he wanted to convey!

"Oh right, I heard that it's not just Pink Intestine Dragon, but you and Xingxiong seem to be a little strange recently. I heard that someone saw you two riding bikes together before, is that okay, Orson?"

“Puh, cough, cough—!!”

Shi Huaiya didn't get the message that Orson wanted to convey at all, and instead stabbed him without mercy.

Orson could already feel the female fire dragon and Dust Mickey, transformed from the "murderous rage", slowly approaching him from behind.

"So, that's why Sister Ghost and I are just his younger brother. You absolutely misunderstood...Officer Shi Huaiya."

The desire to survive forced Orson to bite the bullet and continue trying to explain.

"Hehe, did you misunderstand me? I also heard that Snow Pheasant, who just joined the R&D department not long ago, is also super attached to you. Her colleagues said that recently they often saw the little Snow Pheasant in the office, playing mechanical equipment alone, while muttering to herself, "How should I repay Orson..." Hehehe, you are quite good, kid, you are worthy of being a pet breeder. If this goes on, the entire Guard Bureau will soon become a branch of your pet shop, right, you stubborn top student mouse?"

"Squeak?! I...I didn't..."

Lin Yuxia was startled by the words Shi Huaiya suddenly threw at her, but Tariana, who was not far away, had a completely black face.

"Come with me, sir."

Tallulah took two steps at a time and walked up to Orson and pulled him away, but this time she was not anxious to "come and make your sister happy", but worried about "where should I make the first cut...?"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Shi Huaiya was stunned by the sudden scene before him.

"Probably manslaughter, haha."

Xingxiong, who had been drinking and watching the fun nearby, drank the strong white wine in the glass and then responded in a low voice.

--------

Orson was having a hard time, and on the other side, Chen, who was originally preparing to go to the Chief Superintendent's office, also encountered trouble.

"I noticed your behavior just now, Officer Chen—"

"—!"

The person he least wanted to meet, Wei Yanwu, was now standing in front of him, staring at him with an expression that seemed to be able to see through everything, and speaking slowly with a smile.

Chen's consciousness instantly focused on the replicator hidden at his waist. However, it was only a moment of hesitation. Chen immediately put on his usual posture, thinking about how to deal with this difficult guy while thinking about the subsequent "PLAN B".

"Is there something wrong with my behavior, Commander Wei?"

"Haha, is there any problem? Of course not, you did a good job, well done!"

"--ah?"

Chen was stunned for a moment. She had already prepared herself to be exposed by Wei Yanwu, but this old dragon who knelt on the washboard every day suddenly showed a smile that looked a bit idiotic, and then gave Chen a big thumbs up in praise.

"You danced with Orson before, right? Haha, you're worthy of being my chosen successor. It's easy to succeed as long as you put your heart into it. Did you see the expression on Black Snake's face? I've always wanted to see that expression on Black Snake's face, the expression of jealousy towards me! Now all you have to do is... Chen Huijie?"

Wei Yanwu was boasting loudly, but halfway through he noticed that Chen Huijie, who had been by his side before, had disappeared.

You are such a dishonest guy, Huijie - but it's okay this way, the feelings that are cultivated slowly are more precious, hehe.

Wei Yanwu smiled. This was a rare smile of his that was not made to satisfy some desire, but was truly born out of happiness.

However, Wei Yanwu's smile did not last long. He noticed from the corner an almost imperceptible figure, standing at the edge of the corner without him knowing when.

"There were impurities mixed into the banquet, but we didn't find any threatening items. What should we do?"

Shadow spoke briefly, and Wei Yanwu put away his smile after hearing this.

...Have those people from the Sicilian Gang shown up? What are they planning to do?

Wei Yanwu frowned and thought. Since becoming the ruler of Longmen, he rarely encountered a crisis that required him to deal with personally, because this city was like a human body with complete immune organs. Foreign "viruses" would be directly wiped out by various system organizations.

However, this time... Wei Yanwu vaguely felt that this "immune system" seemed to have encountered a more difficult virus.

On the other side, Chen Huijie, who had left Wei Yanwu in idiot father mode, did not waste any time. She notified Orson to help deal with the surveillance and immediately headed towards the Chief Superintendent's office.

As originally planned, there were not many security forces in the area outside the banquet floor, and the few police officers who were there were all clocking in for work. Chen quickly sneaked into the Chief Superintendent's office on the 4th floor, which had a rather special decoration.

"The police were looking through the Chief Superintendent's personal files in the police station... Ha, if that bastard knew about this, I'd probably be laughed at for the rest of my life."

Chen laughed at himself as he put on pure white gloves, used the copied electronic access card to open the door lock, and immediately walked to the Chief Superintendent's desk.

Chen held a small flashlight in his mouth and quickly flipped through the documents locked in the drawer.

"……What's this?"

The expected record of bribery was not found immediately, but Chen Huijie noticed an envelope from Syracuse in the drawer.

Chen was a little confused about the contents of the envelope. She could only get a few pieces of information from this exquisite envelope.

First, this Chief Superintendent who looks like a Colombian actually seems to be of Syracuse descent and seems to have some connection with the local 'family'.

Second, Syracuse's "family" is under some kind of attack, and the attacker is not an organization or a government, but... something even more indescribable.

That’s all…?

Chen frowned. Although this information could prove that the Chief Superintendent and the Sicilian Gang could indeed have a "connection", it was far from enough as evidence.

Chen stuffed the envelope back and stood up, ready to try his luck in the filing cabinet. At this time, the flashlight in his mouth accidentally fell to the ground.

Chen leaned over and tried to pick up the flashlight, and at that moment, Chen seemed to "hear" some extremely regular sound in the cement interlayer of the floor.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock——

What is that sound?

Before he had time to think, Orson's voice suddenly came from the intercom, and the other party's tone seemed extremely anxious -

"Something's happening, Officer Chen! Get out of there! I'm not sure what's going on... By the time I got to the monitoring room, the staff were already dead!"

"...!"

Orson's words stimulated every pore of Chen's body like ice water, and an indescribable chill flowed through her body.

He came here to look for the 'traitor in the Imperial Guard Bureau', but it seems the guy he was looking for had already taken action.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock——

When his thoughts were suddenly flooded with additional information, Chen finally remembered what this regular sound meant - triggered explosives.

At the same time, on the top floor of a building one street away from the Penguin Logistics office, a middle-aged man silently fiddled with the lighter in his hand and glanced at the quartz clock on his wrist.

"It's almost time to start—it's all about continuing the family."

The man who was the source of a series of disputes in Longmen sighed. He didn't look like a war maniac, but more like some kind of unrecognized pioneer.

83. Please don't give out candy during the mission.

“Is this a bomb…?!”

Chen's years of experience in the police force enabled him to recognize this highly recognizable voice almost instantly.

Why is there a bomb in the Security Bureau? How far have these people infiltrated? - No, the question now is, what should we do with this thing?

Orson's words, coupled with the sound of a suspected bomb in the floor, and the sudden turn of events made Chen's forehead break out in a cold sweat.

…Damn it, first we have to stop this thing from detonating!

Time did not allow Chen to think carefully. She gritted her teeth and took out the standard long sword of the Security Bureau from the weapons cabinet in the Chief Superintendent's office. After roughly determining the location of the beeping sound, she immediately chopped it down at the floor.

Rubble flew everywhere as Chen swung his sword, and soon she saw a bomb flashing red light and embedded in the ground on the 4th floor from the damaged ground.

How on earth did this thing appear here...?

Chen leaned over to observe the bomb. The bomb was designed to be detonated remotely, and the signal receiving system had been turned on.

In other words, as long as someone holds the remote control, they can set off a bomb attack in the Security Bureau in the next second.
