Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Just as he was about to hang up, the vampire girl's voice rang out, still with that incredibly childlike voice.

"Why do you still sound like that? Haven't you been drinking?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"No. That drink makes you sleepy, and I'm still at work."

"That's what the vampire girl replied."

How long are you going to sleep?

"I don't know, it might be a very long time. So Liu Zheng, you have to come see me before I fall asleep."

"That's what the vampire girl said."

"Okay, call me when you get off work."

He touched the vampire girl's head in the air, then hung up the phone.

"Oh, right, I also need to call Silver Wolf."

When the topic of getting off work came up, Liu Zheng remembered that Silver Wolf had invited him to his house for dinner that evening.

If he doesn't give any notice, then he'll have to use oxen and horses instead.

"Brother-in-law, I've taken the day off, so you don't need to order any takeout for me tonight."

He answered the phone and spoke to Silver Wolf.

"Can you still take leave?"

Silver Wolf exclaimed in surprise.

"My situation is rather special."

"Are you busy? If not, come over now. I happen to be free right now."

"Silver Wolf said."

"A bit busy."

He said politely.

"Even though you're busy, you still made the trip. Your sister-in-law prepared some gifts for you."

Silver Wolf said without a doubt.

"Okay. Then tell me your address."

Since it had said so, Liu Zheng had no choice but to agree.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of the staff quarters of the Municipal Market Supervision Department.

The Market Supervision Department has a large number of employees, including a significant proportion of long-lived individuals. As a low-level leader like Silver Wolf, he naturally wouldn't be allocated housing, only dormitories.

With its wealth, it could easily afford to buy a house outside, but it still chooses to live in the dormitory, mainly for safety reasons.

As soon as Liu Zhenggang parked his car, the security guard at the entrance came over.

"No parking here, move your vehicle now!"

The security guard spoke sternly, his expression remaining unchanged even as he saw the blood-stained restaurant uniform on the man's body.

"Where should I park, sir?"

As Liu Zheng spoke, he expertly handed over a few banknotes.

"I don't care where you park, just don't let me see you. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll kick you out."

The security guard ignored him and pushed his tentacles back.

"Okay, then I'll park further away."

He frowned slightly, but did not lash out. Instead, he parked his sports car on the side of a road.

When Liu Zheng returned to the entrance of the residential area, the security guard was still staring at him menacingly.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you call the property management? I think the security guard at the gate doesn't seem to be planning to let me in."

He called Silver Wolf.

"it is good."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the walkie-talkie on the security guard's waist rang.

The security guard kept an eye on Liu Zheng while picking up his walkie-talkie.

"Captain, what's wrong? The landlord wants us to let him in? He's just a tenant, what kind of landlord is he?"

"And do you know who this person is? He's a deliveryman from Bloody Restaurant. If we let him in, where will we, the Golden Shield Security Team, put our reputation? In all these years, we haven't let a nobody from Bloody Restaurant in."

The security guard spoke loudly into the walkie-talkie.

To be honest, although he was called a loser, Liu Zheng wasn't that angry.

Putting aside personal feelings, cattle, horses, white-feathered chickens, British horses, and white geese are all beasts, even worse than beasts.

As for salmon, cats are among the most vicious predators, and they will even hunt for pure entertainment, killing the fish without eating it.

Of course, not being angry doesn't stop him from feeling that the security guard was courting death.

"Brother-in-law, it seems the security guard still doesn't intend to let me in."

Liu Zheng called Silver Wolf again.

Normally he would have just gone ahead and done it, but this was a residential area for family members, and he was worried about getting Silver Wolf into trouble.

"Okay, I'll get down now."

Silver Wolf's answer was also straightforward.

"No rush. Brother-in-law, what company is this Golden Shield Security? They're so arrogant!"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This is a property of the Public Security Department, and it's full of their relatives, friends, and temporary workers. They handle the security for the municipal government's residential area. Although it's usually managed by the property management company, the labor relations, wages, and benefits are all handled by Golden Shield Security."

Silver Wolf explained.

"Which department within the Ministry of Public Security specifically falls under its jurisdiction?"

he asked.

"I don't know."

Silver Wolf's intelligence network is not that extensive yet.

"It's okay, I'll make a call and ask."

Liu Zheng called Wangpai.

"Who, who?"

A somewhat panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I'm Liu Zheng, Nightingale's friend. She gave me your phone number."

He introduced himself.

"Oh, it's you. You startled me. I thought it was another call from a blind date."

Ace breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Has your family arranged a blind date for you?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Yes, they said I'm getting old and I don't cultivate properly, so I can't even take longevity medicine. My father only has me as his child. When he comes back and finds that his lineage has ended, none of them can bear that responsibility, blah blah blah."

"Now they come and wait for me as soon as I get home, so I'm afraid to go home and can only sleep in the office. It's so annoying."

"Ace complained."

"Then just find someone you like and have a baby. You don't even need to get married. Once the baby is born, your relatives can take care of it."

He gave the ace player some advice.

"That won't do. Either don't have children at all, or raise them properly. I don't want to be like my irresponsible father."

Ace flatly refused.

“Okay, I understand. If you don’t mind, I can buy you a house outside, with all the furniture and appliances, and even two maids.”

Liu Zheng showed goodwill.

"Wow, you're really generous. You don't even own a house yourself, do you? No wonder Nightingale speaks so highly of you."

Ace said.

It's not so easy to catch a pie falling from the sky. Since he took credit for Liu Zheng's work, he naturally had to investigate Liu Zheng's situation thoroughly.

As a full-time employee of the Public Security Department, this was a piece of cake.

Of course, all he found was what he was supposed to find.

"Unless one achieves immortality, wealth is ultimately just an external thing. Why not use it to indulge in spending with friends and enjoy life for a hundred years?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"That makes sense, but when did I become your friend? We haven't even met in person yet."

Ace speaks very frankly.

"As long as there's a chance, that's fine. You can't say we don't even have a chance to become good friends, can you?"

He did not consider it offensive.

"Okay, you're right. Why are you calling me? It can't just be to chat, can it?"

As expected of the Planeswalker's only son, although he's a bit lazy, his intelligence is still there.

"I was going to have dinner at the home of an acquaintance in my city's public security bureau, but I was stopped by security guards from Golden Shield Security. I heard that Golden Shield Security is owned by your public security department, so I wanted to ask how you would handle this, so as not to end up hurting your own people."

Liu Zheng said.

"You've come to the right person. Golden Shield Security is managed by our Logistics Support Department."

The ace replied.

"That's great. Brother Ace, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Just call me Ace, all that 'brother' stuff sounds weird. Give him the phone."

Ace said.

"it is good."

He waved his phone at the security guard, but the guard didn't even look at him.

"It's true what they say: it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings."

Left with no other option, Liu Zheng had to turn on speakerphone.

"He didn't answer the phone, so I put it on speakerphone."

He said to the ace.
