Rhode Island Park Project

Before she could speak, the bagpipe in front of her seemed to have thought of something and continued to speak with shining eyes:

"And Chenchen, you and the doctor, don't you two have a particularly good relationship?

"The boys in my class used to tease me, saying, 'Chen, you'll never find a boyfriend.' It's because someone tried to pursue you and got beaten up and sent to the hospital! Now let them see this, they'll all be speechless!"

The energetic orange-haired Vaifan girl spoke excitedly while constantly stealing glances at the elegant Luo Hang sitting on the chair, with a gossipy gleam shining brightly in her eyes.

"You can shut up."

Suddenly, his dark history was exposed, and Chen Huijie glared at the excited Fang Di in front of him.

"This place is very dangerous right now, but I guess you won't retreat easily. We might be able to cooperate on some things."

She simply skipped over the bagpipes and looked at the horn standing calmly beside the table.

"I'm afraid you two didn't know we were here by chance, did you?"

"The Second Storm Commando entered Xiaoqiu County to track down stolen military Originium artifacts. All of this is clearly stated in official documents, so it's not difficult to find out."

Luo Hang, who was sitting in the chair, spoke.

"But not just anyone can see this information."

Horn's expression remained unchanged. "The Stormtroopers' operational data is classified. An 'ordinary businessman' probably wouldn't be able to come to this conclusion using the description 'not difficult'."

"In fact, Rhodes Island is currently conducting some cooperation with the Shi Huaiya family."

"A Grand Duke. It seems I underestimated the Doctor and Rhodes Island's importance."

"It's just a small one, and I'm afraid it can't be considered as important in front of the heir of Earl White Wolf."

The two of them were talking back and forth, but even Bagpipe, who was standing nearby, could sense the verbal exchange between them.

She quietly leaned over to her good friend's ear and whispered:

"Chenchen, you really found an amazing boyfriend. This is the first time I've seen someone who can make the captain look like this."

"Don't worry about them. Let them handle the troubles. We can sit down and rest first."

Communicating with people is one of the most tiring things in the world. Standing with his familiar friends, Chen Huijie looked at the two people who were scheming against each other with a sense of schadenfreude, then picked up two teacups from the table and moved them to the sofa.

"Haah, it smells so good."

Feng Di followed Chen Huijie to the sofa and coffee table very straightforwardly, looking at the red tea as if his mouth was watering.

Horn turned his head expressionlessly and stared at his team members.

Eating and drinking unidentified food and water in a strange place is very dangerous, just like she did not touch the tea in front of her from the beginning, so,

"Slurp, great!"

"........."

Completely unaware that he was being stared at by his own captain, the carefree Fengpipe was already praising the black tea in his hand with a look of amazement.

Turning back helplessly, Horn didn't want to bother with this guy anymore.

Bagpipe is absolutely impeccable as a soldier and teammate, but his only problem is that he's a little too nervous.

Perhaps it is because of his rural origin that, while making Bagpipe cheerful, lively, energetic and generous, it also makes him a little too unconventional.

"Wouldn't you like to try it together?"

As expected, Luo Hang, who was sitting in the chair, also took the opportunity to invite her with a smile, "After old Adams's private ship was blown up, he stole this collection from me. The quality is still guaranteed."

Old Adams.

Horn keenly noticed Luo Hang's address.

Judging from this, the relationship between this doctor and Duke Shi Huaiya is probably much closer than the other party's casual claims.

In his heart, Horn secretly upgraded Luo Hang's status to a higher level, and said thoughtfully:

"Duke Shi Huaiya's private ship was bombed? This is probably huge news."

"Yes. Not only that, you're probably familiar with the organization that caused this big news."

Horn was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.

"Ghost troops? They've actually gotten to the point of attacking a Grand Duke's ship?"

"The official name is Shenchi. This is their leader, and there are also senior cadres."

Luo Hang took out his terminal and placed it on the tea table, then showed a few photos to Hao Jiao.

Draco burning with purple fire, Filin surrounded by rocks, and the officer holding a red iron sword.

"..."

Horn stared at the clear close-up photo on the screen, his heart slightly shaken.

Some of these people she had vaguely spotted during her pursuit, and some she had never seen before, but she would never mistake the uniformed soldiers surrounding them.

She and her team have been tracking the Ghost Army, or should I say the Deep Pool, for so long, but still haven't been able to get much information. Horn knows better than anyone how good their opponents are at hiding.

However, Luo Hang, whom he met for the first time, already had so much important and accurate information in his hands, which made Hao Jiao's attention and vigilance towards Luo Hang finally reach the peak again and again.

"What exactly is the purpose of the two of you coming to Xiaoqiu County?"

Horn stared at Luo Hang in front of him, "Ms. Chen just said that we can cooperate. Does that mean the doctor has similar goals as us?"

Facing the horn that finally lost its patience, Luo Hang calmly curled the corners of his mouth.

"We do have a lot to work together on, but cooperation is always based on trust. I've already demonstrated my sincerity. What about you, Horn?"

Horn was speechless for a moment.

The information about the Ghost Army was by no means worthless, and she was probably the one who knew it best. But precisely because of this, she found herself unable to find anything comparable to the value of this information.

She had to admit that this was not in line with the principle of fair cooperation.

Horn looked at the smiling Luo Hang and suddenly understood.

"what do you want?"

"I?"

Luo Hang raised his eyelids in surprise, then smiled and gently knocked on the tea table in front of him.

“Since you can’t find anything valuable in the horn, then just give your trust.

This cup of tea is part of my collection. I brought it here because I love it, and I brewed it myself. It would be a shame to waste it like this."

Horn looked down at the teacup in front of him and fell silent.

This is not something that can be agreed to lightly -

"Captain! I've already finished my drink!"

"..."

Horn turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Bagpipe, who had a joyful look on his face.

The other person was still holding up the teacup to show her the empty bottom of the cup.

"Look, I drank it and nothing happened, and it took several minutes, so I said Chenchen can be trusted!"

Bagpipe said this with pride.

It seems that Bagpipe is not as stupid as she looks on the surface. She just chose to use the most direct way to prove the trust between herself and her good friend.

But the problem is,

In this way, wouldn't she have given away all the initiative in the conversation between her and Luo Hang?!

Looking at the extremely happy Bagpipe, Horn couldn't help but sigh heavily.

You're a breakthrough!

She glanced at Luo Hang who was chuckling, and simply grabbed the teacup on the table and gulped the tea down her throat to make up for the thirst from talking for a long time. Then she put the empty teacup back on the table and looked at Luo Hang in front of her.

"it's OK now?"

Chapter 3: Horn: Great Kindness, Unforgettable (12.5k/)

To be honest, looking at the helpless horn, Luo Hang, who was trying to control his smile, wanted to turn around and give a thumbs up to the bagpipe on the other side.

This is a sincere and good girl!

After drinking this cup of tea, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably more harmonious and relaxed, and everyone could be considered to be family.

With the most basic trust, everything that follows will be much easier.

If there were no bagpipes, it would obviously not be so easy for the rigorous horn to achieve this.

"Sit down first."

Luo Hang said with a smile.

Although the trumpet's momentum had been completely weakened due to the continuous influence of the bagpipes, Luo Hang did not act aggressively. Instead, he maintained a gentle and elegant image.

This made Haojiao, who was having a headache, feel a little relieved, and for the first time he really felt some good feelings towards Luo Hang.

"According to the information I have, your team, Horn, should have a total of eight people. Now only you and Bagpipe are here. The others should be investigating the situation in Xiaoqiu County, right?"

"Yes."

Horn sat down opposite Luo Hang, with his back straight and his eyes looking straight at Luo Hang.

"Before coming to Xiaoqiu County, I also did some research on the theft of military Originium artifacts that you were investigating, and I found some very interesting things."

Luo Hang spoke slowly and calmly, also observing the horn in front of him with interest.

It has to be said that the horn almost perfectly fits his impression of female soldiers on the front line.

She is rigorous, calm, and has a tough style, and wears wild and powerful clothes that are different from those of urban girls.

But on the other hand, the Horn in front of him was undoubtedly a beautiful woman with a typical Victorian delicate face and beautiful blonde hair. Her aristocratic upbringing from the Earl's family was concealed by the military atmosphere, but her excellence was subtly revealed in her sharp words and keen eyes.

He had to admit, the horn before him was indeed quite impressive. The combination of its sturdy military aura and the elegant aristocratic beauty was always striking, which was probably why female knights were always so popular.

The only problem is that Horn, whose eyes are as resolute as an unshakable shield, doesn't seem to be shaken by other people's XP or emotions, which is really regrettable.

But what he was more curious about was that the relationship between men and women could not affect the horn, so... what about the comradeship?

He switched a table on his terminal.

"Colonel Hamilton, the leader of the Hill County garrison, has long since openly expressed extreme discrimination against the Tara people, who make up a very high proportion of the city's residents. Furthermore, Tara people have been dying in conflicts with the garrison for several years.

It’s just that in the past six months, the speed and the death ratio on both sides—”

Luo Hang reached out and tapped the screen, then looked at the horn with a smile.

"this--"

Horn's eyes widened.

The striking charts don't even require much knowledge to make one realize how intense this long-running conflict is becoming and how many lives are being lost.

As the leader of the commando team who has relevant knowledge, Horn keenly noticed a problem:

"How could the people of Tara, ordinary residents of some cities, have managed to inflict such heavy casualties on the garrison, with the casualty ratio still increasing? What do you mean, Doctor?!"

"There's obviously someone behind this who's supporting the Tara people of Hill County in their struggle. As for who that person is, I think you already have the answer yourself."

Luo Hang raised his index finger and shook it, "But now there is a question. Since the batch of military source stone products that you are tracking down, Horn, is enough to arm an army that can capture a small town, and Colonel Hamilton already knows this, then why don't I seem to see them showing much enthusiasm for your investigation?

You know, they are now fighting fiercely with the Tara people, and their losses are increasing.

Aren't they worried that such a large number of powerful weapons will fall into the hands of their enemies?"

"unless--"

Horn slowly opened his eyes wide, "They know where those Originium products are, and even... not good!"

She quickly picked up the communicator at her waist.

"Triangle!"

"Zi, Captain?"
