Trafford’s Trading Club

Chapter 3684: It might really come!

"I actually missed such a wonderful thing?!"

Zi Ling's mother clearly intended to rush back to the hotel, but after looking at Luo Qiu's kind smile, she slumped back on the steering wheel and silently started the car.

She was only allowed one time, and only one time it would be; any more would make him angry.

Ahead of the car, several police officers were escorting Li Dongnan, who was wearing a black hood, into a patrol car—another patrol car was simultaneously escorting the assassin.

Zi Ling's mother greedily stared for a long time until the patrol car had disappeared, then slowly drove her car out of the [Song Dynasty Hotel].

It was too late, so she simply didn't return to the office.

Luo Qiu said that You Ye had prepared dinner at the new house, as a small celebration for moving in… Zi Ling's mother's depression was swept away upon hearing this, and she drove almost at the speed limit the whole way.

In the end, she still got stuck in traffic, and Zi Ling's mother's feet were getting stuffy!

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the bright red Mini Cooper finally arrived at its destination—Zi Ling's mother once again refreshed her perception of her future daughter-in-law's wealth.

This high-end villa residential area of [Qilin City], before the establishment of the [Extraordinary Restricted Area], the cheapest detached house already cost over ten million.

As for now… the government wants to take this piece of land back and redevelop it—building a high-density community, which could at least add fifty to sixty thousand houses, and calculating with a family of three, that would be over a hundred thousand households… If you don't consider greening, I'm afraid there would be even more.

"Sister, this place even enjoys exclusive lake frontage; just how much inheritance did your future daughter-in-law inherit?"

"I also want to know…"

"Sister, does your Luo Qiu still need a concubine!"

"Your butt is too small," Zi Ling's mother shook her head. "You clearly look like you're not good at bearing children."

"??"

—No, my butt is also very perky, okay!

…

Whether it's suitable or not is hard to say, after all, they haven't been matched before—but Miss You Ye's new home really doesn't lack maids… or rather, maids.

Lizi seemed to have suffered a huge blow—why did even a maid's appearance have to surpass hers, and she was still a pure and desirable younger sister type with green hair.

—She was at least a legendary Snow Sprite, okay? This made her feel very embarrassed!

"Is that so? So your name is Baizhi, what a lovely name."

Zi Ling's mother didn't have as much of an impact as Lizi, she just sighed that her future daughter-in-law was indeed a descendant of old money from the European continent… With such a status, wouldn't it be normal to have one or two maids?

She suddenly thought of Song Ying… She wondered who was richer between the two.

Most likely Song Ying, after all, she was the future helmsman of the entire [Song Dynasty] Group—as the Song family shifted its focus and officially entered Shenzhou's line of sight, this returning overseas Chinese merchant was gradually becoming familiar to people.

Regarding her future daughter-in-law, Zi Ling's mother felt that she should be the kind whose ancestors were wealthy, leaving behind a large amount of fixed assets, but the wealth may have shrunk somewhat by now, but it was still at a level that ordinary people could only look up to.

"There are even game pods here… Is this a new model?" Lizi discovered two game pods in the function room, and her eyes lit up.

The maid smiled slightly and said, "Yes, this is a new generation of game pod, currently still in the testing phase, a friend gave it to me."

Zi Ling's mother was shocked, "Your friend can actually get a game pod in the testing phase?"

She was really shocked. She had been playing games for a while, and Zi Ling's mother had already moved past the newbie stage—she also had some thoughts of exploring this game company that had suddenly appeared, still shrouded in heavy fog.

It's just that so many experts on the internet have been unable to successfully dig deep into the information of this game company… Besides knowing that it will irregularly release some game helmets and game pods with bound accounts, almost nothing else is known.

The so-called official website has surprisingly little updated information… It only shows version updates or server maintenance.

Currently, the hottest topic of discussion regarding [Emerald Fantasy] is a network community created by several foreign tech nerds.

Zi Ling's mother didn't care. Her only game partner was currently [Great God]… [Great God] had disappeared for the past two days for some reason. Even if she went online, the account would still be AFK [training].

Besides, she had unearthed good material today, and she estimated that she would still have to sort it out when she returned home… So she had little thought of going online today.

During the meal.

Zi Ling's mother's heart stirred, "Do you know how the company behind the game [Emerald Fantasy] actually makes a profit? As far as I know, its recharge function was only open for a very short period of time in the beginning. After that, it's been pure expenditure, right?"

The game pod, especially the one that Zi Ling's mother was currently using, had so many functions that it was exploding, and she didn't know how many black technologies were stacked… This set would cost an unknown amount to manufacture.

"This, I'm not very clear about at the moment," the maid thought for a moment and said, "But according to the current development, it will probably reopen the recharge function in the future."

—It's just that when the time comes to recharge, it won't be with money.

The maid thought to herself.

"I understand!" Lizi shrugged her shoulders at this time and said, "It must be that there aren't enough leeks now. What's free is the most expensive… Do you know about the takeaway artifact?"

Zi Ling's mother sneered, "If you charge money, I won't play!"

The maid and Luo Qiu exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

Lizi said with a grin, "I recently saw a very interesting brainstorming post on the game community, saying that this game might descend into reality in the future and overlap with our world, and maybe it will eventually become a global game."

Zi Ling's mother touched this pear's head.

Lizi bared her teeth in dissatisfaction.

The maid smiled and said, "It may or may not be possible. After all, a few months ago, who would have thought of the existence of [Extraordinary]?"

Zi Ling's mother shrugged her shoulders, proudly saying, "There's nothing to be afraid of, I'll protect you all when the time comes!"

The maid smiled slightly, then picked up a Western-style knife and gently tapped it on the glass.

Zi Ling's mother and Lizi looked at her at the same time.

The maid smiled and said, "Ladies, I have prepared some Mont Blanc chestnut cakes for you as dessert, I hope you like them."

"Wow!"

"My second stomach is about to start!"

Baizhi's gaze remained unmoved—she had already eaten one in the kitchen.

…

…

…

…

[Song Dynasty Hotel]

Gan Hong looked at Song Xiong, who looked slightly irritable, nodded gently, and then stepped aside.

In the suite, Song Ying was leaning on the side of the sofa, looking somewhat absent-minded at this time.

"Miss," Xiong-ge coughed lightly.

Song Ying immediately responded… She didn't change her sitting position, just said directly, "What did you find out?"

Xiong Ge said, "I secretly took a photo of the assassin and posted an investigation reward on the dark web, but no one has claimed it yet. However, we have already determined how the assassin infiltrated."

Song Ying frowned. If the dark web couldn't find anything, then it probably wasn't the kind of assassin who was active in the underground world... It might even be a newbie, or someone who was secretly trained.

After the Song family transferred their assets, they gradually laundered their operations, but in this country, there were also many constraints... In terms of funding, [Song Dynasty] had no problems, but the foundation was exceptionally shallow.

"How did they get in?" Song Ying asked thoughtfully.

"This person infiltrated among the invitees who attended the art exhibition today, entering through normal channels," Song Xiong said quickly. "Once inside, it was much easier... And our people were all investigating the disappearance of Daidoji Yuga, so they were taken advantage of, and we didn't notice it for a while... This is my negligence."

"It's not your fault." Song Ying's eyes were slightly cold, and she said mockingly, "I've just been too lax recently. As expected, those who grow up in the mud can never be clean... I was naive."

Gan Hong hesitated for a moment, "Miss, perhaps we can go through the Zhong family's channels... With the Zhong family's power in the country, it might be much more convenient than us."

Song Ying couldn't help but be slightly tempted, but she quickly shook her head, "I don't get along with that woman from the Zhong family... Forget about asking them for help, I don't want to be mocked sarcastically next time we meet."

At this time, Song Xiong hesitated and said, "Miss, should we notify Second Master?"

"Tell Song Haoran, it's okay." Song Ying thought for a while and said, "But don't alarm the old man... Xiong Ge, go investigate the background of the invitee who was replaced by the assassin."

"I understand." Song Xiong nodded, then hesitated for a moment, "Should we reveal this clue to Captain Ma's team?"

Song Ying's mind suddenly flashed with Luo Qiu's face. After thinking about it, she said, "Pass it on. We are law-abiding citizens, so we must cooperate with the police."

Hiding it would only slow down the law enforcement's investigation progress... As the main target of the assassination, she would ultimately be the one to suffer.

"By the way, is there any progress on Daidoji Yuga's side?" Song Ying pinched her brow and said.

She claimed to be frightened, so she no longer directly contacted the people from the Daidoji Consortium, and Gan Hong was handling everything.

Secretary Jin left the hotel very discreetly after it was unsealed.

"It seems like they are looking to see if anyone has taken pictures of the hotel's exterior walls during this time," Gan Hong thought for a moment and said.

"Exterior walls?" Song Ying was stunned, and a flash of inspiration came to her, "Could it be that Daidoji Yuga climbed the wall herself?"

Gan Hong pondered, "Many devices can do that, the key is the person... Ordinary people definitely can't do it, after all, it requires both physical strength and mental fortitude."

Song Ying frowned and said, "She doesn't need to actually climb down. Perhaps she only needs to go to the side, to the rooms on the upper and lower floors... Climbing for too long is easy to be discovered. She can completely enter a room, wait for an opportunity, disguise herself, and then walk out unscrupulously."

Gan Hong blurted out, "I've checked all the surveillance footage, and I haven't found anything similar."

"Could it be that she is actually hiding in a room in the hotel, hiding all along?" Song Ying thought for a while and then said, "Does the hotel have any plans for disinfection recently?"

"Now they do!" Gan Hong's eyes lit up, then she said, "Miss, would you like me to arrange dinner for you? You haven't eaten anything all day."

Song Ying subconsciously looked at the time... It was past eight o'clock in the evening.

That guy... was probably eating dinner too?

She picked up her phone, sent Luo Qiu a text message, and then threw the phone directly on the sofa, "I'm going to take a shower first, a simple meal will be fine tonight."

Gan Hong nodded... It seemed that Miss Ying typed quite a few words just now?

......

— Perhaps you are right not to return to the Song family, because I cannot guarantee that you will not encounter something like today's situation in the future. I hope today's events did not cause you any trouble, sorry... Also, thank you for your coat.

......

......

At the same time, in a high-end suite of [Song Dynasty Hotel].

"Baga!"

Chi Tian Xiu's voice was filled with anger.

"I'm very sorry!"

A young man with a panicked expression was prostrating on the ground in a dogeza position... It was the young man who was arranged to guard Daidoji Yuga's room.

In fact, Daidoji Yuga was still there until last night. Chi Tian Xiu even discussed some things about the art exhibition and the upcoming meeting with Secretary Jin in Daidoji Yuga's room before resting.

Because there was something important the next day, Chi Tian Xiu, the deputy head of the delegation in name but the actual person in charge, did not seek pleasure as usual and sent the female secretary away early.

It wasn't until he woke up today, after having breakfast in the room, that he was told that Daidoji Yuga could not be found.

And the young man who was prostrating on the ground was Daidoji Yuga's assistant, arranged to stay in the room next to Daidoji Yuga's room—it was only now that Chi Tian Xiu had time to reprimand him.

"Executive Director Chi Tian, ​​Hidemine is still young, maybe he lacks experience, I think he has realized his mistake... Currently, our most important thing is to find Miss Yuga."

"Don't I know?" Chi Tian Xiu snorted coldly, without the elegance and humility he had during the day, "Dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty, and those who derelict their duty will naturally be punished."

As he said that, Chi Tian Xiu picked up his sleeves.

His arms were very strong and powerful, obviously the type who exercised regularly. He slowly unbuckled his belt, pulled it out, held the belt and whipped the young man on the ground.

It was really loud, the belt whipped on his body, and the young man named Hidemine kept trembling... The people around the delegation were all silent.

"Executive Director Chi Tian, ​​Hidemine has passed out!"

"Waste."

Chi Tian Xiu gasped for breath, his eyes like a wolf... He waved his hand disgustedly, asking people to take Hidemine away.

Then Chi Tian Xiu waved everyone away, leaving only a minister named Kondo.

Minister Kondo poured Chi Tian Xiu a cup of hot tea, and said cautiously: "The chairman already knows that the eldest lady is missing, after all, the embassy already knows, no matter how we cover it up, it won't work. I heard that the chairman was maintaining the Tibetan knife at home when he heard the news, and directly smashed a Tang Dynasty porcelain..."

Chi Tian Xiu couldn't help but frowned when he heard the words, because until now, the chairman of the Daidoji Consortium, Daidoji Ichima, had not directly contacted him...

From the beginning of Daidoji Yuga's disappearance, this matter revealed strangeness everywhere.

When discussing with Secretary Jin today, Chi Tian Xiu even understood the meaning of [Qilin City]... Even if all the cultural relics are returned, at most it will only allow the Daidoji Consortium to participate in the investment in a satellite city outside [Qilin City], and will not directly obtain the permanent right of residence in [Qilin City].

Because in addition to the island country, that Germanic nation seems to be doing similar things!

It can be imagined that as the gold content of [Qilin City] continues to soar, similar things will only become more and more.

It is foreseeable that Dragon Brother's choices in the future will only become more and more!

"Damn it, why didn't [Extraordinary Forbidden Zone] appear on our great land!"
