I write obituaries for the gods

A big question mark jumped out from above Lin Chen's head.

......

Thinking about it in hindsight, it makes a lot of sense. Black Sword's ability is to tear through subspace, and Hua Molan's ability is to walk through subspace. This was indeed foreshadowed.

However, Lin Chen felt that the mother-daughter relationship was still too damn explosive.

Sitting on the sofa in the extended Lincoln, Lin Chen watched the way the mother and daughter interacted and felt as if the sky had fallen.

The usually dignified and domineering Director Hua Molan sat upright, while the tiny Black Sword knelt on the sofa, looking left and right and fiddling with it.

"Excuse me, why are you so..." Lin Chen looked at the black sword, "...so young?"

"Don't be so formal. My name is Hua Luori. Just call me Sister Hua!" Black Sword, or rather, Lady Hua Luori, smiled.

"This name sounds so ominous..." Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Sister Hua, why are you so young?"

“I’m a symbiote, just like the little angel next to you,” Hua Luo Ri pointed at Li Ti. “Symbiotes age more slowly, and I’m actually quite old already.”

Lin Chen glanced at Liti: the little girl was lying on his lap, asleep.

She seemed a little unwell after entering the subspace, so Lin Chen gave her a small dose of blocking agent and let her sleep until she left the subspace.

“Let’s talk about something serious,” Hua Molan cleared her throat, her cheeks slightly flushed. “Professor Jürgen’s approved insomnia treatment trial has already started in Super America, and it’s being conducted by the students he mentored.”

"It's already started?" Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. "I thought... the foundation would just default on it to save money."

“Someone pressured the hawks to get the project approved,” Hua Molan said. “You should be very familiar with the person who put the pressure on her; it’s Xileina Boswell.”

It was her... She actually did something like this? Lin Chen was slightly surprised.

“The complexity of demigods is always unfathomable,” Hua Luori said, looking at Little Litty on Lin Chen’s lap. “Perhaps it’s just mercy, after all…”

She didn't continue speaking because little Litty gently turned over and made some muffled sounds.

"Dad..." Lin Chen understood what she was saying.

.....

"Where have you been? Why are you so late? The delivery guy has been knocking on the door for ages!"

"Sorry, sorry, something came up."

At the door, Lin Chen and Li Ti clasped their hands together, while Li Zhanyi, wearing an apron, stood at the door with her hands on her hips.

"You ordered crab meat hot pot again...it's too oily!" The young cook, Li Zhanyi, complained. "I stir-fried some vegetables!"

“I just want to eat vegetables,” Lin Chen nodded repeatedly, “right, Litty?”

"I want vegetables! I want vegetables!"

Looking at the two people singing in unison, Li Zhanyi sighed helplessly and stepped aside.

"Come on in, come in. Tell me what happened later."

She absolutely hated that Lin Chen had disappeared so inexplicably, and yet she couldn't predict why he had vanished.

This guy is so annoying! I just can't understand him!

"..."

The atmosphere at dinner was generally cheerful—I say generally because there was a less pleasant little incident.

“I received a text message from the municipal government today. None of the relatives I was close to before have expressed any intention to adopt me.”

Huihui casually said as she picked out rice cakes soaked in broth from the pot.

"So they asked me if I wanted to go to an orphanage? If I did, the Yudu municipal government would give me a sum of money every month."

“You don’t need to go anywhere, I’ll take care of you,” Lin Chen put down his chopsticks. “It’s a good thing that those relatives won’t take you in, anyway, none of them are as rich as I am.”

"Really?" Huihui looked at him with some distrust. "Brother, how long have you been working? Although the newspapers say you're very capable, that's probably just the foundation making things up, right?"

This girl is quite perceptive; she can even tell when the foundation is creating hype. She'd be perfect as an agent for the Bureau of Investigation.

However, the reason she asked that question was probably because... she didn't want to drag Lin Chen down, right?

After all, if she went to the welfare home, she could receive relief money from the Yudu Municipal Government, which would save Lin Chen some expenses.

She didn't want to be a burden.

"..."

Facing Huihui's slightly evasive gaze, Lin Chen took out a card and placed it on the table.

"what is this?"

Li Zhanyi leaned closer for a look, and his eyes widened immediately:

"Wow! This is a black gold card from Yudu Bank? Were you out accepting bribes just now? How much did you embezzle?"

"How could it be a bribe..." Lin Chen smiled helplessly. "It was given by the director. He said it was to support our next operation. There's a monthly allowance, and we can spend it as we please."

"How much is the limit?" Li Zhanyi turned to stare at Lin Chen.

"Fifty or sixty thousand, not too much, but enough to support our whole family," Lin Chen nodded.

"A black gold card for only fifty or sixty thousand? Really? Wasn't it said..."

Lin Chen quickly gave Li Zhanyi a look, and the latter realized what was happening and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Huihui, I can take care of you," Lin Chen gently rubbed Huihui's head. "I won't miss out on you and Liti's food, and we can often order some good food like today."

Huihui raised her head, stared at Lin Chen for a while, and finally her expression became like that of a child.

"Won't you be too tired, brother?" Huihui whispered.

"How could that be?"

Lin Chen gave Huihui a thumbs up.

"I am very good at my job."

"Really?" Huihui tilted her head.

"Let's eat," Lin Chen laughed. "If you don't eat soon, Litty will eat all the crab meat."

While everyone was talking, Litty was frantically eating rice. The little thing grabbed a crab leg and started sucking on it, shouting "Hooray!" as it was spicy, while constantly shoveling rice into her mouth.

Those two little wings were flapping behind them so hot they were almost flying.

"Alright, eat slowly," Li Zhanyi smiled, "No one's going to steal your food."

"Leave me some chicken feet!" Huihui reached for her chopsticks.

Looking at the lively scene at the dining table, Lin Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.

For a moment, he even had the illusion of being a "family of four".

Wait... one...

Lin Chen turned to look at Li Zhanyi.

Then, he noticed that Li Zhanyi was also staring at him.

The two seemed to have the same idea, and then almost simultaneously looked away.

......

The week of waiting for tide Leina's concert was quite fulfilling for Lin Chen. He would go out in the morning to check in at the Investigation Bureau, and then start taking on various small jobs on the black market to earn points.

Thanks to his efforts, the number of orders in the lower three segments of the black network decreased, and those urban executioners in the shadows couldn't help but wonder—who was rapidly clearing out all the orders?

You're just kidding, the truth is no one is posting orders anymore.

Lin Chen sent all the people who distributed the flyers to the Investigation Bureau's jail.

“You’ve gone too far,” Jiang Zhengge said as he walked into the office and tossed a report onto Lin Chen’s desk. “The safety index in Xiwang District has increased by 45%, and gang fights have decreased by 80% compared to last week.”

"Fried fish, this is the effect." Lin Chen held up his latte.

Nowadays, among the gangs in Yudu, there is a rumor:

A man named "Baba Yaga" begins an endless campaign of revenge against gangs after his dog dies in a gang fight. Rumor has it that he uses the black market to take on jobs, then hunts down his clients and their victims, throwing them all into the sewers of the rainy city...

To be honest, it would be better to be thrown down the drain; at least the cells wouldn't be so crowded.

"I'm already Diamond level. Once I finish this deal with Lao Shen, I should be close to Master level." Lin Chen held up his phone app.

"How was Zhanyi's week?" Jiang Zhengge asked Li Zhanyi.

"Classes will proceed as usual, but there aren't many classes this semester," Li Zhanyi stretched, "Afterwards, I'll go out and hang out with Lao Lin~"

"Don't kill anyone. You have to be careful with your strength in this line of work," Lin Chen said.

"I'll hit you, you make it sound like I'm violent." Li Zhanyi elbowed Lin Chen.

“Speaking of which, the concert is tomorrow night, shouldn’t we make some plans?” Lin Chen looked at Jiang Zhengge.

“I’ve already made all the plans,” Jiang Zhengge said calmly. “You just need to focus on the concert; I’ll take care of everything else.”

Is it really that casual?

Facing their gazes, Jiang Zhengge sighed softly:

“If I go, Xileina will definitely find out, so there’s no point in making any plans in advance. If she wants to, we can’t get close to her.”

"Then what should we do?" Li Zhanyi asked.

“We have a unique way of communicating,” Jiang Zhengge laughed. “It’s not hard to get her to talk to me. The hard part is figuring out how to get Xiaolin to put the bug in her car, but I’ve already figured it out, so don’t worry.”

Looking at Jiang Zhengge's nonchalant expression, Lin Chen for some reason thought of Huihui.

Section Chief Jiang was clearly hesitating about something.

Lin Chen didn't say much; he simply stood up.

"So, shouldn't we give this operation a code name?"

"You can get up now," Jiang Zhengge said absentmindedly.

“Let’s call it…” Li Zhanyi took out her phone and glanced at tide Leina’s tour name.

"How's Operation Rombarlo going? Let's keep the essence intact!"

Wow, that's really casual...

.......

Chapter 9 Operation Code Name: Rombaro (Fourth and Fifth Updates)

"Rom Baro... means 'great man' or 'great person' in Roma language."

Li Zhanyi raised his head and looked at the huge stadium in the distance.

"tide Leina is really high-profile..."

At this moment, Section Chief Jiang was driving his Porsche with a group of people on the streets of Mianyu District.

The Yudu Olympic Sports Center is located on the riverbank, with Mingzhu Beach District on the opposite bank. The Yudu Star TV Tower stands like a black needle in the evening sunset.

“I only recently started following this gossip, and it feels like there’s so much juicy gossip,” Li Zhanyi handed her phone to Lin Chen. “Look, look, it’s rumored that Xileina Boswell’s agent is the son of a high-ranking official at the foundation! He was sent down to build up his credentials, and he’s pursuing Xileina like crazy!”

Lin Chen took the phone and looked at the picture on it: a young man who was already bald was dressed in a suit and was waving at the camera in a somewhat greasy manner.

“Mr. P, the head of the foundation’s entertainment department, has a son named Pan Enfu,” Lin Chen muttered, “another rich kid.”

"Old Jiang, tide Leina is being pursued by another man!" Li Zhanyi stirred things up, "Any ideas?"

“What could I possibly think of a demigod from the Foundation?” Jiang Zhengge asked absentmindedly. “Besides, she wouldn’t even give him a second glance.”

"Really?" Li Zhanyi blinked. "Do you know this Pan Enfu? He's someone important, you know. He's the king of net profit in the foundation's entertainment department!"

"I really don't understand where all these 'leeks' (fans) come from in this boring entertainment industry..." Lin Chen complained.

“I know Pan Enfu better than you do,” Jiang Zhengge said. “He’s the key to this operation.”

"The key to the operation?"

Li Zhanyi looked at Jiang Zhengge in the rearview mirror, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

“You still haven’t told us what the plan is,” Li Zhanyi muttered. “Old Jiang is giving me the silent treatment, which is not good at all.”

Jiang Zhengge sighed softly. While waiting at a red light, he picked up his phone, copied the contents of his memo, and sent it to the Yike family group.

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi picked up their phones and looked at them, then opened their mouths in unison.
