Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

"Yes, I've seen it."

Hoshiguma leaned close to Mike's ear and whispered, "Didn't I send you a message? Your mess has been exposed."

"what?"

"Come with me now, do you want to stay here and be watched by everyone?"

In order to get away as quickly as possible, Mike had no choice but to get into Hoshiguma's police car, accompanied by two police superintendents who flanked him on the left and right.

16. Hoshiguma has also quit smoking.

The superintendent on the left nudged Mike with his elbow and sneered, "Dude, Officer Xing has been staking out you for a long time. Do you think it's possible for the police to respond so quickly?"

Mike shuddered. When did Hoshiguma start targeting him?

The superintendent on the right chuckled and said, "As Xing Sir just said, once we get to the Guard Bureau, she will personally entertain you. Would you like coffee or braised pork knuckle rice?"

Mostima and Fiameta got into another police car and drove together to the Guard Bureau.

At this moment, Hoshiguma was sitting in the passenger seat, making a phone call to the intercity network security management center, a sister unit.

"If any news, videos, or pictures about these three people appear on the intercity network, they will all be blocked and not allowed to spread. The reason given will be to protect their personal privacy. Other trending topics will be pulled up to cover it up, and no one will remember it tomorrow."

As long as the information doesn't spread across the city network, and the source is nipped in the bud, there will be no widespread transmission, thus protecting Mike's identity and safety.

As for what kind of statements could be obtained from the Guard Bureau, Hoshiguma didn't mind abusing her power for personal gain in this matter.

Star Sir is a seasoned veteran of the Guard Bureau, so he's very adept at these kinds of things.

About twenty minutes later, two police cars drove into the parking lot of the Guard Bureau building.

Mike was filled with emotion as he got out of the car.

This was the umpteenth time he had been brought in, and he had begun to feel a sense of familiarity, as if he were coming home.

Stop looking and come with me.

Hoshiguma has prepared a private room for this guy to be questioned, ensuring that no one will disturb him.

Mostima, who was following behind, asked anxiously, "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Fiameta was helpless against the slow-witted fallen angel. She was usually quite smart, so why did she turn into a fool when it came to matters of the heart?

That guy must have used some kind of mind-altering drug!

I suggest Inspector Hoshiguma not let him get away with this!

The interrogation room was located inside the Guard Bureau. The two superintendents standing at the door gave strange smiles when they saw Sister Xiong leading the group in.

Mike couldn't help but have the illusion that this place was a den of thieves, but then he remembered that Hoshiguma was known for being very serious when she was on Rhodes Island, so she figured she wouldn't do anything to him.

Besides, this is the Imperial Guard Bureau, right under Wei Yanwu's nose, and everyone here is an old acquaintance, so they wouldn't do anything like torture to extract confessions.

But Mike was still uneasy, after all, he didn't know what Hoshiguma meant by "Your affair has been exposed".

"sit down."

Hoshiguma pulled up a chair and sat near the room's exit, crossing her legs and smiling at Mike, looking completely confident.

Mike sat diagonally opposite Hoshiguma, raised his hands, and the chains in the middle of the handcuffs rattled.

"Star Sir, aren't you sure you can trust me? I'm just an ordinary car repair shop owner; I would never do anything to sabotage Lungmen."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, it's just routine," Hoshiguma said, taking a box of mints from her pocket, popping one into her mouth, and looking at Mike, asking, "Want some?"

"Still not."

He remembered that Hoshiguma loved to smoke, so why has he switched from cigarettes to candy now?

Mike's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.

Texas said she was quitting smoking, and at the same time, Hoshiguma also quit smoking.

Could it be...

"Tell me about your story."

“I am devoted to Miss Mostima. Love is a matter of mutual consent. It is not about cheating for money or sex. If a bag of stinky tofu is considered cheating for money, then I have nothing to say.”

“We’ll talk about Mostima later. Let’s discuss something else first.”

Hoshiguma's calm remarks made Mike even more uneasy, and he became increasingly suspicious that his identity had been exposed.

Seeing that Mike didn't speak, Officer Xing across the room reached out and pressed the bell in front of him. Immediately, a superintendent pushed the door open and came in.

"What's wrong, Officer Xing? Is this guy being dishonest?"

"Not really, just bringing this gentleman a cup of coffee, as is the usual practice."

"it is good."

As the room door closed, Hoshiguma took out a recorder flashing red light from his pocket and turned it off in front of the microphone.

"Don't worry, there are no security cameras or recordings here, and I've sent the people at the door away. Now, talk."

"What do you think I should say, Mr. Xing?"

"Let's start with how you left your previous company and came to Longmen."

Mike paused for a few seconds, then said as briefly as possible, "I was unhappy working for my old company. I worked hard all my life, but in the end, I was just a wage earner. The salary I earned was only enough for me to open a car repair shop. The boss was strict and demanding, he was nepotistic, and it was a family business. His own daughter became the CEO."

Hoshiguma put her legs on the table, squinted at the man, and said, "I've heard that things aren't quite as you say."

Mike leaned forward, placed his hands on the table, and asked, "So, what's the situation, Star Sir?"

"Although that boss is high-ranking and strict, he doesn't usually get involved in things and delegates power to the management. The CEO girl treats you like family. Although your salary isn't high, you can still come up with a lot of money when needed. Could it be that the real reason you left the company was because of an office romance?"

Mike finally understood. Hoshiguma already knew who he was. Right now, they were playing cryptic, neither of them revealing their identities. As for what Hoshiguma meant behind his actions, Mike still didn't know.

Just then, the superintendent who had left earlier brought in a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Mike.

The man looked down at the steaming instant coffee and heard Hoshiguma explain, "Don't worry, it's just normal coffee. I didn't add any hair. If I were to add something to your coffee, I would have to say, 'I'm going to teach you a lesson.'"

"That would be great! I wonder if Mr. Xing could order me another serving of braised pork knuckle rice?"

The police inspector nodded on the spot and took out some change from his pocket: "You sit down, I'll go buy it for you."

As soon as she stood up, the superintendent, who hadn't had time to leave yet, hurriedly said, "Sing Sir, I'll go. You continue questioning him and make sure he confesses honestly."

When prisoners start making demands, it's usually a sign that their psychological defenses are about to be breached. Hoshiguma managed to do this after only a few minutes of questioning, which filled the junior superintendent with immense respect.

Only after everyone left did Mike pick up his coffee cup, take a sip, and say frankly, "I confessed my feelings to everyone, but they all rejected me, so I came to Lungmen to start over."

"really?"

Hoshiguma closed her eyes slightly, her attitude unclear.

"So, Sir, you see, I'm a law-abiding citizen. I may not have done anything particularly meritorious in the past, but I have certainly put in a lot of hard work, so..."

What's going on with Mostima?

Hoshiguma shut Mike down what he was about to say.

"It was an accident. I didn't expect to run into her there, but I didn't intend to refuse her. After all, I'm a soft-hearted and honest person, and I can't bear to see girls cry."

17. Enjoying this place, I don't even think of Rhodes Island.

Do you really like her?

"like."

"But I heard you like a lot of people."

"So what's the problem?"

Mike carefully considered his words.

“Inspector Hoshiguma, I have to tell you that I want a big family, and my love for each and every one of them is real, without a trace of falsehood.”

"hehe."

Mike's words amused Hoshiguma.

She's seen scumbags before, but never one this scumbag.

"But you weren't like this before."

"That was before."

Mike emphasized his words.

“I love everyone, but no one loves me. Everyone rejects me. I came to Lungmen for one thing: those who used to ignore me, I will now take back what is rightfully mine.”

"Alright, alright, it's not a gangster revenge movie or any other cop film, there's no need to say it so vehemently."

Hoshiguma sighed; this man made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Back then, Rhodes Island was in a complicated situation, with everyone keeping each other in check and on guard, which is why his feelings were overlooked. But now that they're in a good position, haven't you seen that Texas has already made her move? No, not just made her move, she's probably already kissing him.

Hoshiguma felt that there was no point in saying anything more, but there was one good thing: he was not dead, he was still alive, just in a different form.

Should we call it a medical miracle at Rhode Island?

There's a problem with changing appearances. Will people think the operators have fallen for someone else?

Mike seemed to sense Hoshiguma's doubts: "Hoshiguma, don't worry. I have my own plan for this matter and I guarantee it won't cause any trouble for anyone."

"You're quite decisive, aren't you? Have you considered how much trouble you might cause?"

"This is a necessary process, and I ask you, Star Sir, to keep it a secret and not reveal my true identity."

Hoshiguma said helplessly, "If we really want to investigate you, it won't be long before we find out your true identity. Alright, for Old Chen's sake, I'll try my best to cover it up for you. You also need to restrain yourself and not do anything that oversteps your authority."

There are still many good people on this land.

Hoshiguma has always acted like a kind older sister, and Mike doesn't doubt her motives. With her in charge of the Guard Bureau, it will surely flourish!

Not long after, the police superintendent, who had gone out to buy food, returned with a box of braised pork knuckle rice. He gave Hoshiguma the change and left satisfied.

Watching Mike attack the pork leg rice, Hoshiguma wondered how long it had been since this guy had eaten.

Are you going back to Rhodes Island?

The man ate his rice while mumbling, "I'm having so much fun in Longmen, I'm not going back."
