After searching the house and making sure that only a few photos were lost, Chen closed the door and walked out of the house full of her childhood memories.
No matter how much she denied or resisted, she could not change the fact that she and Tallulah grew up here, separated here, watched their mother leave together, and watched their father leave together.
"Hey? You're out? I thought you were going to play with your yarn ball in there for a while?"
Outside the house, Xingxiong, who was leaning against the car, looked at Chen who came out and joked.
"You still have the mind to joke?"
"Don't you think you're in a better mood?"
Grinning, Xingxiong opened the passenger door for Chen: "Let's go, let me be Officer Chen's driver today."
Following Xingxiong's wishes, Chen sat in the passenger seat. Touching the photo in his arms, a flash of confusion passed through Chen's eyes.
Those words she said...were they directed at herself...or that man?
Never mind, what's the difference?
With a wry smile, Chen leaned back in his seat and began to doze off.
Xingxiong, who was standing nearby, patted Chen on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, don't go to sleep yet. I'm afraid you'll have to work overtime tonight. Mr. Wei has some guests from Rhodes Island who need us to come over."
"Rhodes Island? What are they doing here? What does it have to do with us?"
"I don't know, but they specifically asked for us. The lady was swearing on the phone just now, saying we were disturbing her beauty sleep."
"Pretentious..."
Volume 5: Chapter 119: Calm Mind
Taiheng Street District is not far from the city center and can be reached in just over ten minutes by car. The two returned to the Guard Bureau while chatting.
Chen and Xingxiong went out in a hurry and came back in a hurry. Their actions made the police officer on duty at the door miserable. He naively thought that these two inspectors came to see if he was slacking off.
Returning to his office, Chen put the knife back in its place, turned around and went to the reception room with Xingxiong.
The Guard Station was very quiet late at night. Apart from a few police officers on duty, there was no one there.
The sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor. Even from a distance, Chen could hear the voices of Wei Yanwu and the doctor from Rhodes Island.
The two seemed to be talking about something, but they were a little far away, so Chen couldn't hear clearly.
Walking to the door, Chen Qu knocked on it. After the conversation inside stopped, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the house, Wei Yanwu and Kal'tsit looked at Chen together, along with Shi Huaiya's resentful eyes.
"Are we late?"
He sat down in his seat, opened the seat next to him and motioned Xingxiong to sit down.
"No, you came just in time!"
Gritting his teeth and looking at Chen, Shi Huaiya, who was sitting opposite him, also stood up and sat next to Chen.
"Now that everyone is here, there's no need for riddles. Let's get straight to the point, Dr. Kal'tsit. You couldn't possibly come here in the middle of the night just to see if we were sleeping well, right?"
Shi Huaiya, with her hair disheveled, looked at Kal'tsit with dissatisfaction, wondering why this guy would come to them in the middle of the night.
Is there anything you can't talk about during the day?
Do you have to choose the middle of the night?
"I'm sure everyone is aware of the disaster in Chernobyl, so I won't elaborate. At one o'clock this morning, I received accurate information that the enemy has stationed troops in Chernobyl."
Kal'tsit, with her arms folded, glanced at Shi Huaiya, then turned her gaze to Chen and Wei Yanwu.
She knew who was in charge here, so she naturally didn't want to waste any extra time.
"This incident doesn't seem to have much to do with Longmen, right? It was Ursus who persecuted the infected, and the city they attacked also belonged to Ursus. What does all this have to do with Dayan?"
Puffing out smoke, Wei Yanwu looked at Kal'tsit. "Besides, Longmen's defenses are very tight. If the enemy wants to infiltrate, it will probably take some effort."
As Wei Yanwu said, Longmen, as the gateway to Dayan, naturally has a very complete defense force. With the "precision" of Chernobog, as long as they are careful and guarded, it will be difficult for the Integration Movement to break in.
"The enemy's number is far greater than what has been revealed. There are even more lurking in secret. Besides, don't you find it strange?"
Ignoring the sharpness in Wei Yanwu's words, Kel'tsit continued, "Chernobog fell overnight, without any warning."
"Where did they come from? Why didn't the army defending Chernobog take action? And how did they precisely cut off Chernobog's means of communication with the outside world? These are all mysteries."
"You mean to say that this matter...is related to the Ursus authorities?"
The people present were not fools and easily understood the hidden meaning behind Kal'tsit's words.
But...is there really a country that would attack its own people first in order to provoke a war?
Even if the opponent is Ursus, this speculation is a bit too outrageous.
Regardless of whether this method is useful or not, once the internal situation breaks out, Ursus will inevitably fall into internal strife again. You know, there are many schools in Chernobyl, and there are many children of nobles studying there.
You have set your sights on someone else's child, how can others let you go?
"Exclude dissidents."
Kal'tsit only used a simple sentence to make the people present reconsider their thoughts.
"Most of the people gathered in Chernobog are new nobles who made their fortunes in business. They are naturally at odds with the old nobles who made their fortunes in war. If there is an opportunity to eliminate their competitors, those guys who have crawled out of the pile of the dead will not show any mercy."
"So...it makes sense..."
Rubbing his chin, Xingxiong looked at Kal'tsit: "Using the name of the infected to go to war with Longmen, Ursus is like wearing a glove, and can withdraw at any time. Anyway, considering the reputation of the infected, it is normal for them to go 'mad', but..."
"How do you prove it? Dr. Kelsey, how are you going to prove your hypothesis?"
Before Xingxiong could finish, Wei Yanwu chimed in: "After all, this is just your one-sided story. If you think you can convince me with just that, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
Wei Yanwu slammed his pipe hard and looked at Kal'tsit: "From the beginning until now, you have never produced any evidence to prove your point. You just kept talking to yourself."
"Chernobog has been occupied for so long, and the outside world only knows that it was done by a gang of infected people. But how many people are in this gang and who is the leader? These are all mysteries."
"Or..."
At this point, a subtle light flashed in Wei Yanwu's eyes, and he said calmly: "You have already grasped information that the outside world does not have, such as..."
"Who is their leader?"
One word revealed the purpose of Kal'tsit's coming here. Wei Yanwu looked at Kal'tsit calmly, with a relaxed look as if he was sitting on a fishing platform.
But before he could relax for long, Kal'tsit revealed another shocking piece of news.
"According to Rhodes Island's preliminary investigation, the enemy leader seems to be an acquaintance of Mr. Wei. What do you think? Want to know?"
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as Kal'tsit and Wei Yanwu sat opposite each other, and it was unclear whether it was a mockery or a simple smile.
"Forehead..."
Did we hear something we shouldn't?
Seeing that the topic was gradually going off track, the talented trio who were slacking off on the other side looked at each other, and no one had any idea.
Aren't we talking about the Chernobyl Integration Movement? How did we end up discussing the family affairs of Wei Yanwu, the head of Longmen?
For a moment, the three of them lowered their heads, pretending not to hear, and each sat down to do their own thing.
"Dr. Kel'tsit really knows how to joke, haha!"
Wei Yanwu was choked and the smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Chen, take Xingxiong and Beatrix out and get ready."
After smiling, Wei Yanwu spoke and sent the three people present away.
Chen and the others were also happy about this. They didn't really want to come in the first place, but they had to come for Wei Yanwu's sake. Now they could leave, and they were happy about this.
The three of them filed out, each discussing where to go for breakfast.
"Since Dr. Kal'tsit already knows, please speak frankly. The deeper our mutual understanding, the more beneficial it will be for our cooperation."
Inside the house, Wei Yanwu, who had already sent away the outsiders, put away his fake smile and looked at Kal'tsit with an expressionless face.
Kal'tsit also took off her disguise and stopped hiding.
"Twelve years ago, Duke Kosciuszko of Ursus announced his heir, a half-blooded Draco girl, at a banquet."
"But just three years after her announcement, Duke Koschei mysteriously died in his own mansion, and the duke's heir suddenly became a wanted criminal in Ursus, disappearing into the vast snowfields."
"I think Mr. Wei Yanwu should be familiar with this, right?"
"Coincidentally, during Rhodes Island's subsequent reconnaissance operation, we observed this Duke's heir in a ruin. Let me think of her name..."
"I think her name is... Tallulah?"
Snapped!
As soon as Kal'tsit finished speaking, the pipe in Wei Yanwu's mouth made a strange sound, and a crack gradually appeared on it, eventually spreading all over his body.
.........
“Ugh…Ah!”
Stretching her body lazily, Talina gradually woke up from her sleep.
Driven by her biological clock, Talina opened her eyes slightly, and after waking up, she began to prepare breakfast for the two people at home.
"Good morning."
Before Kotarina opened her eyes, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"List?"
A soft and nasal question came out of Talina's mouth. Driven by curiosity, Talina opened her eyes.
In front of her, Chen was lying on his side, staring at Talina with wide eyes. It seemed that he had woken up a long time ago and had been waiting here for a long time.
"Good morning~ What do you want to eat today~"
Rubbing her eyes with her hands, Talina lay on the bed with her butt raised, moving her body while preparing to turn over and get up.
But before she could start, Chen hugged her in his arms.
"Rest today, no need to rush to get up."
Chen spoke softly, patting Talina's back gently.
"Another break...ah, well...okay."
Tarina, who was inexplicably given the service of facial cleansing, did not struggle and let Chen hold her in his arms despite being still in a daze.
Listening to the even breathing in his arms, Chen's sleepiness, which had just been extinguished, suddenly rose again, as if it had been brought in by Talina.
But the feeling of fullness in her stomach made her reluctant to fall asleep, and the presence of the lovely girl in her arms also made her greedy for this moment of leisure. Looking at Talina's peaceful sleeping face, a smile unconsciously appeared on Chen's face, which she herself had not noticed.
Looking up at the bedside table, Chen put the photos she brought from her hometown into frames and placed them in a corner of the bed, becoming an ordinary decoration in her room.
Looking at the woman in the photo, Chen's emotions suddenly surged.
Do I need her love?
Not necessarily. Ever since she became conscious, Chen had never seen her mother give her a good look. After her initial confusion, she realized that she was annoyed with her.
Naturally, I won't seek love and make myself bored.
but...
I have found it in someone else. Even though she is completely different from the love I was originally looking for, she is the love that suits me best.
Chen tightened his arms, took the warmth in his arms into his chest, and turned his gaze back to Talina.
In the first rays of the rising sun, Chen not only saw Talina's sleeping face, but also saw the wet clothes on his chest.
"...drooling?"
Volume 5: Chapter 120: Scoring twice
"Puff! Ugh! What the hell did you lose?!"
Holding on to the wall, Suigu endured the dizziness in his head and kept retching.
The dizziness and the constant buzzing in his ears tortured him. Even after more than an hour, the feeling had not subsided.
He had already begun to regret following Mephistopheles, a guy whose mind was only focused on killing, out on a mission.
Being caught by the Longmen Guards is no big deal. At worst, he can break out by force. He will accept it even if he gets injured.
But following Mephistopheles, he was really worried that this guy would betray him one day and leave no trace of him!
He can accept death, but not this kind of death that seems like a joke!
