We are from the future ark

But Skadi's reaction was different. The moment she passed by, she turned her head away without any concealment.
The moment the burgundy eyes met Chen's, Chen felt a biting coldness and disgust from Skadi's eyes.
"..." Chen Yiran said nothing.
"...In that case, let's get started."
Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue looked at each other, both a little disappointed. They did not get the information and response they wanted from Chen Qi.
However, with Shi Huaiya and Chen's reactions, they seemed to have a little guess.
Of course, all of this can only remain speculation.
Chapter 72: Wei Yanwu about the future
"..."X3
Along the way, Xingxiong walked in front holding Prajna in his hand, while behind him, Chen Qi and Skadi followed silently. Although the three of them were walking together, they didn't say a word along the way.
Xingxiong seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know how to start. After all, she had wanted to verify whether she and Chen Qi had a past, but Chen Qi denied it, leaving Xingxiong at a loss as to how to start.
Chen Qi naturally didn't want to say more. At least, he wouldn't say anything more before Xing Xiong put down the so-called Wei Yanwu mission and the identity of Longmen Inspector.
Chen Qi trusted Xingxiong, but he did not trust Longmen's Xingxiong Inspector. He was very clear about this. He believed that Xingxiong was the same.
"...Chen Qi."
Finally, Skadi on the side couldn't help but wanted to say something, but was blocked by Chen Qi with a gesture.
Chen Qi pointed at the star bear in front of him, then pointed at his own ears. Skadi immediately understood and stopped talking.
Chen Qi’s meaning was very clear, “walls have ears”, and this Xing Xiong, although he said he was arranging their itinerary, was actually just accepting Wei Yanwu’s mission and was responsible for eavesdropping on them.
Unlike Chen who had a prejudice against Wei Yanwu, although Xingxiong did not think Wei Yanwu was that good, she knew that Wei Yanwu was indeed working for Longmen and doing a very good job. She had so many brothers and sisters in Longmen, so as long as Wei Yanwu did a good job, she would do as Wei Yanwu instructed.
Just because Longmen has everything she cares about, including her life, so as long as it is beneficial to Longmen and does not infringe on her bottom line, Xingxiong can accept all tasks.
So, Skadi changed his approach.
"Chen Qi, are you okay? (Agor's language)"
"...Not bad. (Agorian)" Chen Qi glanced at Skadi indifferently and replied in Agorian without any emotion.
At this time, it was obvious that Xingxiong heard the voices of the two people behind her, but as an Easterner, she could not understand the language spoken by Skadi and Chen Qi at all.
In fact, there are very few people who can speak Agor in this world. This is because after the Agor race experienced a catastrophe, only a few of them survived. Moreover, the Agor language is very complex, and there are also great differences between the Agor languages of each race.
As for Skadi, the last killer whale among the Agors, almost no one can understand the meaning of her words in the Agor language.
Fortunately, her luck was not over yet. She was accompanied by a man who, in order to prevent her from committing suicide due to depression, had read a lot of information and documents and clumsily learned the Agor language of killer whales.
Even though Skadi knew that he initially learned the Agor language just because he wanted her to continue working hard for Rhodes Island, Skadi, who was now free of all ties, didn't care.
Be it value or emotion, as long as there is a little concern...it's all good.
"I am no longer the child I was before. It's okay to make a mistake once. I won't make the same mistake a second time."
"...Don't you hate her?" Skadi couldn't help but ask, with almost undisguised concern in her eyes.
"…What right do I have to hate her?"
However, Chen Qi's answer seemed so helpless. He took a long breath, calmed down all his emotions, and said to Skadi lightly:
"She just made her choice. No matter which side she chose, she was not wrong."
"I am not her biological child, but she has allowed me to rely on her for so many years. If I am not grateful, how can I have the right to hate her?"
However, although he said so, the hint of sadness in Chen Qi's words was transmitted deeply into Skadi's heart through the Agor language.
This kind of loneliness, this kind of sadness... although I dare not say that it exceeds Skadi's pain, it is enough to make Skadi feel the same.
Looking at Chen Qi in front of her, Skadi gently stretched out her hand and stroked Chen Qi's hair, as if brushing away the sadness in his heart.
"...Thank you, Skadi." After a slight pause, Chen Qi did not resist, but just smiled faintly and thanked.
"Between us, there's no need to thank me, Chen Qi."
Skadi shook her head and quickly retracted her hand. Holding the great sword in her hand, she said to Chen Qi very seriously:
"My entire clan has sunk into the boundless ocean, and I am the only one left alive here."
"I thought I would die alone and painfully in the boundless loneliness. It is because of you that I am not tortured by loneliness."
"I am willing to sacrifice everything for you, Chen Qi. This is my promise to you."
"——No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth."
Skadi said this, gently holding Chen Qi's hand, and spoke every word as if to express her determination.
However, after a long while, Skadi withdrew her hand in surprise at Chen Qi's slightly subtle look.
"...I'm sorry, I was too excited." Skadi withdrew her hand. Her body temperature was slightly lower than Chen Qi's. When she felt the warm touch disappear, she felt a little lost.
Skadi, you should put yourself in the right place. You have already failed, so don't cross this red line.
Keep it like this, it's really good.
Skadi warned herself and made a plausible excuse, but she finally calmed down. She had forgotten how many times she had felt this way.
Fortunately, she survived even the most difficult time, and she is now able to handle this level of throbbing with ease.
After that, Skadi didn't say anything else. Chen Qi also vaguely sensed something, a bit of a weird atmosphere that he needed to break.
So, Chen Qi said to the star bear in front of him:
"Inspector Xingxiong, may I ask, what are we going to do next?"
"Huh?" Xingxiong, who had been troubled by the content of Chen Qi and Skadi's conversation, suddenly heard the topic turned to her and was unable to react for a moment.
However, Xingxiong, who had been a police officer for so many years, quickly calmed himself down and answered in a businesslike manner:
"Because Commander Wei has prepared a banquet for you, I have accepted Commander Wei's commission to select appropriate clothing and outfits for you."
"Of course, all expenses will be borne by the Guard Bureau, so you can rest assured."
However, as soon as Xingxiong finished speaking, he saw Chen Qi's expression suddenly become very strange. It was rare to see Chen Qi's obvious expression, and Xingxiong also felt a little strange.
Chen Qi's expression has been very dull from the beginning to now. Why is his expression so bad when he talks about this? Social phobia?
Huh? Why did this Skadi look so bad? Xingxiong looked at Skadi, whose expression was also a little dark, and was puzzled. He didn't know what he had said wrong just now.
Why does it feel like... ever since the people from Rhodes Island came, she seems to have been offending people intentionally or unintentionally? Xingxiong felt a little wronged, as she had been acting the same as usual.
"...Inspector Xingxiong, I'm going to say something off topic, please don't misunderstand me."
Chen Qi was the one who reacted the fastest. Then he asked Xingxiong a question that made Xingxiong feel very confused.
"Excuse me, Commander Wei Yanwu, do you have a lot of money at home?"
"...?"
Xingxiong expressed his doubts about Chen Qi's question. Why does this question... feel a bit sharp?
Wei Yanwu has been in power for many years in Longmen, and has been married to Princess Wenyue for many years, but he has no children in his life. Who in Longmen doesn't know about this? However, it is very dangerous to talk about this topic. After all, it is easy for people to think about it. As the highest authority in Longmen, Wei Yanwu has no children in his life. This kind of thing, if told to others, is indeed a bit ridiculous.
It seems as if there is something wrong with the people in power in Longmen... Although the person with the problem may not be Lao Wei, if such things were spread out, he would be arrested and taken to the Longmen Guard Bureau for questioning in no time. Who would dare to ask?
"…Officer Wei was busy with government affairs and devoted his whole heart to serving Longmen, so he had no children in his life."
Xingxiong also thought about it for a while before speaking so slowly. To be honest, if she didn't feel that Chen Qi was not that kind of person, she would really doubt whether asking her this question was a trap for her as an inspector.
"That's good."
Chen Qi also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. However, as if sensing Xing Xiong's subtle look, he immediately changed his words:
"I mean, it's really good for the people of Longmen that Longmen has such a good leader."
"..." Xingxiong was helpless. Although she felt that there was something behind Chen Qi's words, she was not sure.
Only Chen Qi and his team knew what was going on with these concerns.
It looks like... that little dragon was born to Old Wei and the later one... Chen Qi muttered to himself, but when he thought of that arrogant figure, he shuddered all over and revealed a bit of fear.
At worst... I can just not accept the wine from Lao Wei. Chen Qi became more cautious in his mind and said that he would definitely not drink a sip of the wine Lao Wei handed to him.
Chapter 73: Wei Yanwu's Miscalculation
A few hours later, in Longmen’s luxurious hotel.
"Doctor Kal'tsit, on behalf of Lungmen, I would like to express my condolences and gratitude to you from Rhodes Island for coming here."
During the banquet, Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue, who were dressed in luxurious clothes, raised their champagne glasses to Kal'tsit, who was wearing a formal dress, and said sincerely:
"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"…a pleasure to work with."
Kal'tsit's expression was as indifferent as ever. After simply clinking glasses with the two of them, she drank the champagne in one gulp.
Kelsey was a little confused now. The negotiation with Longmen was going smoothly, and she was even a little bit unbelievable. However, the smoother it was, the more Kelsey felt that Wei Yanwu, the old demon, was plotting something.
There is no doubt that the old dragon has smelled a different scent. Although he is still just guessing, as long as he can grasp a little evidence, he can set all the assumptions as true and thus take control of everything in his own hands.
Kal'tsit doesn't have the heart to think about other things right now. Although cooperating with Lungmen has its benefits, Kal'tsit will not allow Rhodes Island to be in a passive mode.
As long as she goes back this time, the first thing she has to do is to eliminate these spies in Rhodes Island. As for how to eliminate them, she has her own way.
What she had to do now was to handle this banquet.
"Wen Yue, stay with Dr. Kal'tsit first. I have something to do."
As expected, Wei Yanwu began his "plan" and said so to Wen Yue without any concealment. Before Kal'tsit could say anything, Wen Yue soon came in front of Kal'tsit and blocked her actions.
"Doctor Kal'tsit, my husband has some personal matters to attend to. I think you won't mind if I take care of him for the time being?"
"...Of course not."
What else could Kal'tsit say after all this? Obviously, Wen Yue came here just to delay Kal'tsit. Wei Yanwu's goal from the beginning to the end was not her.
But it lies in the source of the information he had obtained!
On the other side, Chen Qi and Amiya, who was wearing a formal dress, were sitting on a sofa in the corner. Chen Qi was also pulled to change his clothes. On weekdays, his image of wearing a suit jacket and a white coat was already deeply rooted in people's hearts. At this moment, he changed into a more formal dress, and he seemed to have a bit more temperament than usual.
On weekdays, he looks more like a doctor, but now, he looks more like the supreme commander.
On the other side, Skadi was also pulled to change her clothes. At this time, Skadi, wearing a dark blue dress and with her white hair down, looked no different from usual. She placed a big sword aside and stood alone in the corner, drinking champagne intermittently.
However, Wei Yanwu came straight to Chen Qi, holding a champagne glass. As soon as he got here, Long Lian smiled and said:
"Mr. Chen Qi, are you dissatisfied with our Longmen's hospitality?"
"That's not the case, old...Commander Wei Yanwu."
Chen Qi opened his mouth and almost said the old name. Fortunately, the party was noisy and there was music. Old Wei seemed to be a little hard of hearing due to his age, so he didn't notice Chen Qi's name.
To be honest, it's not Chen Qi's fault for calling him that. When he was very young, he had also seen Lao Wei in Longmen. Although he was only 4 or 5 years old at that time and had just started to recognize people, Lao Wei was an old acquaintance of his.
Apart from anything else, Chen Qi had to admit that Old Wei loved children. Although he was a politician, he was more patient and even kinder to children when he got older.
Chen Qi still remembered the kindness of Old Wei. Although this old bastard had always tried to trick him into calling him "grandpa", Chen Qi had developed the awareness of "taking Old Wei's words as fart" since he was a child. Therefore, he had always addressed Wei Yanwu as "Old Wei".
Chen Qi understood all of this very clearly. The Wei Yanwu in his time and space was the old Wei, but the one in front of him was the real ruler of Longmen, a politician in his prime, Wei Yanwu.
Absolutely, don't underestimate him.
"Really?" Wei Yanwu looked at the two drinks in front of Chen Qi and Amiya and said lightly:
"Then why don't you meet Mr. Chen Qi and have a drink? As I recall, you should be an adult, right?"
"How about trying our Longmen wine? We have not only high-end wines, but also many special wines."
"..." Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard that. Well, what he feared would come true. Old Wei actually came to toast him.
However, the scene in front of him made Chen Qi feel a little familiar. He remembered another patriot who did not want to reveal his name and wanted to get him drunk to get information out of him.
Finally, Chen Qi felt that it was necessary to give Lao Wei a chance.
"…I'm sorry, although I'm an adult, I can't handle alcohol."
"Haha, how can young people not drink a little? When I was your age, I could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
However, Old Wei was delighted when he heard this. He didn't know whether it was because Chen Qi's appearance of about 18 or 19 years old made him subconsciously not think much about it, or because he had not been in the political power for many years and his level had declined. Old Wei failed to hear the hidden meaning of Chen Qi's words.
Can't hold your liquor? Okay, that's what I want.
