Rhode Island Park Project

Lin Yuxia, who was sitting down, took the initiative to speak.

He neither pursued the dark history that was exposed in front of his assistant, nor cared about the various looks from other people in the restaurant.

Lin Yuxia, sitting by the clear glass window, seemed as light and carefree as the white mist rising from the teacup under the sunlight shining through the window.

Although he was invited here, he should speak like a landlord.

"It's true that I haven't been to Longmen for quite a while."

Luo Hang smiled and asked, "How is Huijie doing in the Guard Bureau?"

"I became a superintendent and am now the youngest leader of the Special Inspectorate."

"Where's Beatrix?"

"He's also a superintendent, not behind Chen Huijie."

"What about you?"

“…It’s still the same.”

"really,"

Luo Hang curled his lips slightly, "You still have such a stern face all day long. You act like an old man at such a young age. Even though you have such a pretty face, I guess no boys dare to approach you now, right?"

"..."

Lin Yuxia didn't say anything.

However, Luo Hang kept nagging like an elderly man.

"You and Huijie are both like this now, and we don't know what will become of us in the future.

I should find a small dark room and lock you two up together for a few months. When you get out, you'll probably realize how happy it is to have someone to talk to. Beatrix and Tallulah are still the cutest."

"..."

Lin Yuxia remained silent, just like a child listening to an elder's lecture.

Whatever you say, I won’t refute or change it.

Fortunately, at this time, the dishes that Luo Hang had ordered in advance were brought up by the waiter, finally ending the current topic.

"Let's eat first. My memory is pretty good, so I won't order anything you're against."

Luo Hang picked up the chopsticks himself, and Lin Yuxia didn't need him to ask her to do anything.

The dishes on the table were exactly as Luo Hang had described, quite to her taste, even down to the customary use of chili peppers and garlic.

"Chen Huijie doesn't know you're coming yet?"

Lin Yuxia took the initiative to ask while holding the bowl.

The atmosphere at the table seemed a little more relaxed than at the beginning.

"I just arrived last night, and I had a little accident this morning, so I don't have the free time for the time being."

Luo Hang said casually, "Besides, the Guards should be quite busy at this time, right?"

"……Yes."

Lin Yuxia paused. "Refugees fleeing Chernobyl, unidentified thugs, infected people from the Integration Movement... a lot of mixed people have poured into the outer city."

"how about you?"

Luo Hang raised the question again, "Huijie and Beatrix are both busy with work. Do you really have such leisurely time to stay here? Or are you just running away?"

"..."

Lin Yuxia, holding the bowl, fell silent again. Luo Hang, who did not stop, was not as relaxed as the elder who had been chattering before. His tone was leisurely and his eyes were only casually looking at the food, but he was filled with a strange oppression.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see where the Reunion Movement's next target is.

The Imperial Guard is busy strengthening its defenses, which is really none of your business, but since you've always wanted to inherit your father's legacy, there are certain things you can't avoid. "

Whether it is the white or black world, the government is in charge of the open matters, but naturally there are also corners that the public cannot reach and need to be managed by others.

The surname Lin has a special meaning among the common people and slums of Longmen. Sometimes this surname can even overshadow what words follow it, as long as the word "Lin" is still there.

Since he holds such a position among the common people, he naturally cannot ignore one thing at this moment when chaos is approaching.

——They are waiting for an opportunity to reasonably resolve this trouble——

“The infected people of Longmen.

Have you thought of answers for them?

Or, having worked so hard until now, will you leave the decision on this issue to your father, and then continue to inherit the mantle?"

That is of course impossible.

If you throw the problems to your father when you encounter difficulties, what's the point of talking about inheritance and responsibility?

Just her answer,

The answer she chose for them.

If she did, she wouldn't be here now.

No, perhaps the fact that she could still devote all her energy and time to a bunch of investment proposals here was already her answer.

"Go and secure them."

Lin Yuxia raised her head.

Luo Hang opposite was still picking up dishes calmly, but she would not have misheard what was said just now.

"Those people are not just polluting Longmen. Both the political and business communities are demanding that Longmen take action. That's a statement we must make."

Lin Yuxia whispered, but the fingertips holding the chopsticks turned faintly white.

The two of them were sitting in a busy restaurant, so the words they used were quite obscure, but it was not difficult to understand.

The problem of infected people in Longmen is no longer just a problem for Longmen alone. Such a prosperous and large city located in an important position for Dayan's foreign trade will never lack the influence and constraints of various forces.

Lungmen's cleansing of the infected is not only to eliminate its own unstable elements, but also a statement of Da Yan's zero-tolerance policy towards the infected. It is Lungmen's proof that it remains stable and belongs to Da Yan amid the chaotic wave of the integration movement.

This is what politics is all about.

Therefore,

"Go and secure them."

Luo Hang stretched out his chopsticks, and his tone and expression seemed as if he had not heard or noticed what Lin Yuxia said and the implicit emotions. He just talked to himself without any concern.

Seeing that attitude, Lin Yuxia finally growled in a low voice.

"You should clearly understand what I'm thinking—!"

Lin Yuxia was halfway through her words when she quickly realized that she had lost control and that all eyes were drawn to her. She suddenly shut her mouth and silently picked up her bowl to eat.

Chapter 30: The Instinct of a Scumbag

Seeing the originally calm and elegant girl in front of him now in a bad mood, Luo Hang laughed softly.

"That's more like it. If you keep everything so secretive all day long and don't even want to talk to people you know, you'll really become a lonely, weirdo that people will stay away from."

"..."

Lin Yuxia continued to eat without saying a word.

Such reasons could not convince her.

She also wanted to protect those people. She was born in the lower city of Longmen, and for more than 20 years, she was as familiar with the streets and alleys here as any ordinary local.

Those ordinary infected people can only be managed by "Lin" because they are infected, and they cannot have anything to do with the chief of Longmen.

She was familiar with those people, she knew their children and parents, and there were even ordinary people she was familiar with who were accidentally infected and were included in the group.

Who would be willing to drown out all the people she knew and understood with just one simple word like 'deal with'?!

"So, you actually have the answer in your heart all along, right?"

As if he could clearly see what she was thinking, Luo Hang moved the plate to make it more convenient and said this softly.

just,

What's the use?

When these words came to her lips, she was sulking and didn't want to speak, so she just continued eating.

She is the daughter of 'Lin'. Once she really takes over her father's mantle, she will have to take on the fate of the entire Longmen Lower City, not just a small number of people.

The Lower Town District is also part of Longmen. Everyone has made sacrifices for this city.

Even the chief of Longmen, that Lord Wei, sacrificed his brother-in-law and young niece, and his sister died of depression. What could they do?

This world will never be like anyone’s dream. Helplessness and dissatisfaction are the main themes of life.

"Come to think of it, the medical company I run is planning to take in a group of infected people recently."

Luo Hang spoke as if casually, but he always spoke so lightly that no one knew what he had thought of and what he had thought of on the spur of the moment.

"Of course, they're not used as experimental subjects. As a medical company focusing on mineral sickness, most of the people we come into contact with are infected. It's always easier to interact with those infected than ordinary people."

As Luo Hang continued speaking, Lin Yuxia chewed her food silently and then swallowed it.

"That's a lot of people, at least not enough for one ship to hold them all."

Luo Hang looked at the girl opposite him who finally spoke and couldn't help but smile.

"Rhodes Island can't really handle that many people right now, but we can just talk to Commander Wei. Lungmen has plenty of space and resources."

Lin Yuxia wanted to laugh, but she didn't want to ruin her serious image.

"Commander Wei is not someone who can be persuaded with just a few words."

He also asked Longmen to hand over a large number of infected people who were the focus of attention, and also asked Longmen to provide corresponding living facilities and supplies. Commander Wei was not doing charity.

But Luo Hang smiled happily.

"What if I succeed?"

"..."

Succeeded?

She couldn't help but look at Luo Hang opposite her.

This man seems to have remained unchanged no matter how many years have passed, and the smile on his face seems to have never faded with time.

This man does have a unique magic, because he always fulfills his promises and always does things that seem incredible to others.

Whether you admit it or not, if you spend a long time with such a person, you will subconsciously think that he will still be successful next time.

Even as she grows older and the fields she is exposed to grow, the problems she faces continue to expand in a more complex and impactful direction.

Can it really succeed?

When this question popped up in her mind involuntarily, she clearly felt her heartbeat skip a beat.

What Luo Hang said was indeed correct.

If there were any possibility, she would want to choose the answer that had always been in her mind, but reality never gave her these tiny possibilities.

Those who followed Lin would not interfere with the decision she made, and those who came to solicit investment would not show her such a possibility.

"..."

She put down the dishes in her hands and put on a serious expression for the first time.

"If you can convince Commander Wei, then I will listen to you."

Luo Hang slowly curled up the corners of his mouth.

The paradise naturally needed residents. Just as Kal'tsit had guessed, he had indeed set his sights on the group of infected people that Longmen was trying to get rid of.

However, stating this purpose from the beginning and presenting it in the current way and order would undoubtedly have completely different meanings in front of the young girl in front of him.

The former was that he happened to help the girl solve her troubles for his own purpose, while the latter was that when the girl encountered troubles, he appropriately prepared a way to solve the troubles.
